A comfortable silence had settled over the Iwatodai dorm after most of the members of S.E.E.S retired to bed, leaving all but a lonesome figure to reveal in the peaceful atmosphere. Slender fingers thrummed subconsciously on a clothed knee to match the fast rhythm of the song playing in his headphones. It wouldn’t be long now…till the Dark Hour descended upon them. So it was with a momentary flash of surprise illuminating passive gray orbs that Minato’s attention diverted to the sound of the front door opening. Odd. They rarely have visitors, let alone at this time of night. It wouldn’t hurt to be cordial, would it?

“It’s odd that we have visitors at this time, but nevertheless, you’re welcome to stay.”

Resting her arms with a military rigidity at her sides, the android took elegant steps after him. Aegis was silent as they descended to the boy’s dorm hall. Still, she trailed after him, all the way to his door. At the offer to enter, the blonde shifted in a somewhat unsure fashion. “That would be alright with you?” She did enjoy watching him sleep; knowing that he was safe and tucked away from harm gave her nothing but pleasure. Despite knowing the others weren’t too keen on her obsession with their leader, it pleased her that Minato didn’t seem to mind. He was even being a bit playful, if she knew anything about human interaction!

“I would enjoy staying.” A smile matched up with her words as well, her eyes actually showing a twinkle of satisfaction.

Would she really enjoy watching him sleep? The most he could offer would be some restless shuffling and maybe a couple of mumbles here and there if she was lucky. All of that sounded really…well dull. But there was no denying that satisfaction in light blue orbs. Shrugging more to his self than anything, Minato pushed the door wide open, exposing his tidy room and its light décor. Judging by the textbook open upon his desk, he still had homework to finish up…tomorrow that is. Like hell would he be doing homework during the Dark Hour; he had enough nightmares already.

“Make yourself comfortable. Although there isn’t much to begin with,” he gestured towards the whole of his small room with a wave, already going into his closet for a change of clothing. It was during this normal routine that something occurred to him. How was he to change with her in the room? Minato hesitated as his fingers brushed the fabrics of a light grey t-shirt, a sudden awkwardness setting his shoulders. Now how should he go about this? Did Aegis understand that he would need some privacy to change his clothing?

“Err…Aegis?” His voice wavered with a dual mix of amusement and nervousness, “Would you mind turning for a bit? I need to change my clothes.”

Was it natural for one’s cheeks to feel hot? Aegis felt her fingertips wrap in his jacket just as he pulled back. Quickly snapping her grip into release, the robot leaned back politely. “Yes. The time is now 11:30pm. 30 minutes remain before the Dark Hour.” The blonde watched him stand, rising after him with a soft expression. She was unusually loose! “May I accompany you?”

Minato nodded in acquiescence at her request, finding no harm in it. With one more insightful glance in her direction, hands taking up their position in his pockets, the raven-haired male proceeded to leave the roof with his friend in tow. Since there was only 30 minutes till the Dark Hour, he wondered if it would be possible to fall asleep before it hit. He wasn’t a coward-far from it-but he didn’t take any pleasure in experiencing the hidden hour when he was conscious. To make it worse, electronics ceased to function during that eerie time so it wasn’t like he could just drown himself in his music. So what was he to do?

Pausing the moment his hand was hovering inches away from the brass doorknob of his room, Minato looked over his shoulder to give his friend a wistful glance, inwardly flustered. How far did that request to accompany him stretch? Surely, she didn’t mean into his room, not that he cared. But going by memory from an earlier time, he was pretty sure that Yukari would spaz if Aegis was caught in here again.

“You can come in if you like. But I warn you, I might just fall asleep the moment I hit the mattress.” A grin followed his playful words.

Unreadable grey eyes flicker upwards at the sound of a door being opened, the music from a faithful mp3 nothing more than background music against the quiet atmosphere of the dorm. Surprise flared in the depths of those storm grey orbs upon taking in a sight that would’ve earned him an all expense payed trip to the psychiatric ward. But when taking into account the crazy world he lived in now, should he really have been surprised?

“It’s not everyday that I get to meet myself…”

An odd tingling flutter twinged in her chest. Aegis raised both brows, unsure of how to really react. She hadn’t ever had to plan out her thoughts, her reactions; everything came automatically in her programming. These new changes, this human heart she was forming, it was all so rapidly piling upon her. 

“I have never doubted your dedication.” she replied softly, pressing her nose gently into his shoulder as she returned the hug. Aegis’ arms were still a bit stiff, though this was by far the most open she’d been physically. “I will attempt to put my worries at ease, if you agree to do the same. You may rely on me as you wish.”

“Heh…I guess where in agreement then.”

Maybe it was the fact that he was content with the understanding they just reached, or perhaps enjoying the rare privilege of being this close to the android, but Minato couldn’t stop the feeling of warmness flowing through his body. It wasn’t often that he experienced such things but he was sure this was something unique, something that only came from being with Aegis. Logic clearly dedicated that she should be quite cold…yet the only sensation of cold he felt was from the night air. The person in his arms was quite warm and he was very reluctant to let her go so soon. But who was to say the android felt the same? The embrace might’ve been uncomfortable for all he knew and the Wild Card wasn’t one to indulge in selfish pleasures.

So, with a heavy heart and a jaded expression, Minato let her go.

“It’s getting late…,” he started uneasily, rolling his shoulders a bit to get rid of any lingering stiffness. “Maybe we should head back in. I don’t think it would be good to be out here when the Dark Hour decides to pop up.” He wasn’t quite fast enough to stop the sorrow tinged sigh from slipping past his lips as he casually began climbing back onto his feet, hesitant to look at the one that made him feel strange.

Big baby blues locked onto his grey orbs, keeping locked on his gaze as he moved closer. Aegis pulled her knees to her chest, resting her fingertips atop them gently. “It is a mixture of things.” the robot began, tearing her eyes from Minato’s. “There is the lingering sensation of impending doom. It weighs heavily upon my shoulders.” Her voice was soft as always, spanning the tiny space between them. “And that is a new feeling for me. All feelings are new.” The android tilted her head, watching the boy beside her curiously. “You are my closest friend. I will always protect you.” A tiny smile followed her words. 

Slender fingers clenched at the fabric of a clothed knee as Minato struggled briefly to reign in his own emotional reaction towards the words “impending doom”. So she felt it too? That something bad might happen? His first response to that would’ve been to try and comfort her but he thought better of it. How was he supposed to get rid of someone else’s fears when he couldn’t even staunch his own? There was little point in trying so he remained quiet for a tense moment, looking up again when he felt those sapphire hues upon him, reflecting a somewhat innocent curiosity. Minato opened his mouth to say something but was rendered speechless by her soft words:

“You are my closet friend. I will protect you.”

The raven-haired male didn’t know why it stunned him so much to hear those words. Once upon a time she had said something similar, but that was when she had been different. More mechanical. But now… Minato smiled lightly at Aegis’s soft words, feeling extremely touched at the sincerity behind them and that diminutive smile of hers. So in kind, to repay her for her kindness, the silent teen pulled the android into a hug, chuckling softly in his low voice.

“Thank you. That means a lot to me…” Minato trailed off, trying to organize his own thoughts. “I hope you can expect that of me too, to protect you that is. So you needn’t worry about whatever may come, okay?” He wanted nothing more but her absolute faith in him.
