Sleeping is the best thing in the world. The blankets around me warm and puffy and the bed beneath me smooth and soft. I love sleeping. It makes all the worries and pain go away. Speaking of pain as I am gaining consciousness pain is starting to show itself. I hate you mother nature. Since it is rare for me to have pain during this time I don't take meds. Guess I have to sleep it off. I curled up into a ball and rolled. What? My bed's space should have ended now. So I rolled more and the bed continued to increase it's space. Wow! My bed is increasing in space but if I continue to roll and fall off my bed? No problem, my bed is not that high from the ground and no one is there to watch me embarrass myself. Okay them roll left, roll right anything to forget pain, but doesn't this moment increase the pain? Who cares? No one is there to watch me embarrass myself. I live alone remember.

"Entertaining yourself?" A voice said startling me making me roll further right in a startled shock and I felt the bed leave for a second and the next second I felt arms around me and a body so close to me. A rather familiar body. I looked up into the eyes of Gouenji shocking me further and leaving me speechless. What is he doing in my apartment? Am I dreaming? But would I dream about Gouenji? Dreams are rather illogical remember. You can't control who comes to your dream.

"What are you doing?"  He asked his eyes glittering with amusement. Though his beautiful face is rather stoic and expressionless like usual somehow his face seems rather soft and warm with a glimpse of amusement and joy.

"Umm..rolling?" I replied more like a question. He eyes sparkled again and he shook his head and laid me gently on the bed. That is when I observed that he is only in a towel. Holy shit! I saw only his face up till  now. Judging from his damp and the towel looks like he just came out from taking a bath. He doesn't have an eight pack or six pack. No packs but no fat either. He is a lean guy with some muscle which is very much disturbing since that is my type. No bulging muscles but a lean and slender guy with a bit of muscles is what I prefer and that is how he is! Ah! Really!

 I blushed a little since it is my first seeing a guy with minimum clothes. Yeah, I never saw a guy without even a shirt. I know it is casual for a guy to take off shirt but I never saw any guy since it is a well fact that I often remain quite oblivious to the surroundings. He has a good slender body with a bit of a muscle. Not extremely thin but strong enough with muscles, not even a bit of fat. I envy this guy for that. I have a lot of fat, I want to exercise but too lazy for that and a foodie. No one can separate me from ice cream and chocolates. Let us not forget about burgers, pizzas and other fast food.

He really looks like a top notch model from a magazine or something. To be frank with myself Gouenji is the most handsome that my eyes ever had the pleasure of feasting upon. Though he is cold he is a good and gentle guy deep down. Beautiful inside and outside, the ideal type. Gouenji, kidou, Aram all look so handsome like models. Robert is also handsome, just that people never noticed. After my 'advertisement' people started to notice how hot he is, with his baggy clothes and spectacles. But seriously my college is one of a kind. How can there be four such guys with so great looks exist and they all go to the same college and are my friends. Not to mention their wealth and intelligence. Sometime I wonder if my college is one for elites and somehow I got into it with scholarship just like in books. But seriously how can it be true?

I frowned suddenly remembering the situation I am in. "This is not a dream." I told myself. "What are you doing in my apartment?" I winced at the pain shooting up. Now fully awake pain showed itself in full glory. "Wait this is not my room." I started to sit wincing.

  "You are in my room." Gouenji answered.  

 This made me look around clearly. It's a very spacious room with a modern touch. The barely there furniture made this already spacious room look as if extended all eternity. I like it. Simple and neat. Not even a single item extra. Every piece according to need and they were arranged so neat. The room is mostly in light colors giving it an elegance.  The bed is very spacious and just a little above the ground. This room can be divided into two halves, one half with the bed is raise a good meter above the other half. I would love this room to be mine, may be that explains why I am imagining this room to be mine in my dream  but that wouldn't explain the presence of Gouenjii.

                                                                  //Gouenji's Bedroom//


"Can I please have your room?" I blurted out suddenly.

My eyes widened realizing what I blurted out. He raised an eyebrow at me in question but said nothing. He is not glaring at me or having a rock hard face right now. That doesn't mean he is smiling though I would like to see it. 

"What? What am I doing in your room?" I asked completely shocked. How did I end up here? Gouenji is not a friendly person, at least to me, who casually invited me to his house to show me around. It will never happen once in a million years. Then how come I am in his room. It is a great miracle.

"You fell asleep on me." He replied.

Fell asleep on him? What does he mean? Then the events before I slept came crashing down on me, the 'love letter', the wild goose search, my period, Gouenji giving me a new form with Demon's sign and finally he scooped me up in his arms because I was in too much pain and the last thing I remember is settling into his arms comfortably. Probably I became too comfortable and fell asleep on him. I gulped down with nervousness. I don't know in what way e will attack me now. Don't misunderstand not physically, verbally. He has a way with words if you guys should know.

"So I brought you to my home."

"Oh!" I said waiting for the verbal attack which never came.

"You don't know my address? You got a whole report on me which contained my address too. You could have dropped me there." I asked unable to crub my curiosity. Come on, the report even contained information that I had no boyfriends. Why not my house address?

"I don't have the keys." He said curtly. I am even surprised that he answered, I thought he would ignore me. I wanted to say whether keys is really an issue for him? He can get it form by bag or with his influence get in my apartment with no problem. But I kept my shut because I don't want to test my luck any further. I can be considered lucky so far considering the turn of event form the start of this year, I don't want to push it.

"Thank you very much. Sorry for the trouble I caused. I will leave now." I said standing up wincing slightly at the pain shooting up. I think I can manage.

"Where are you going?" He raised a perfectly arched eyebrow at me. How did he do that? That's the first time I am seeing someone raising a single eyebrow perfectly. I read in several books people raising their eyebrow in question but never did I ever see anyone doing it perfectly. I even tried it several times you know? The still probing eyes in front of me brought me back to reality. What was it that he was asking me before I zoned out in my own world? Ah! Where am I going?

"My apartment of course." I said confused.

"Close to midnight?" He asked turning his face to the clock. It's close to 12'o clock. 

I nodded yes unsure. What am I supposed to do? I don't think he will let me stay in his room. He hates me too much for that.

" You expect me to call you back to know that you reached safely or make me drive now at this point of time."

 Translation: I worry about your safety. 

He wouldn't say it directly even if he has to die. After spending all this time with him I can understand him a little better now. You should be capable of reading between the lines or you will misunderstand him a great deal.

"No." I squeaked. Though he is a good guy let us not forget about his temper and his extreme hatred towards me. I don't want to get in trouble with him.

"Then stay here. We can go together to the college in the morning. That way you won't cause any more trouble than you already did." He stood up and went to the other half of the bedroom, went inside some room which I assume is the closet since he came out dressed in some regular night pant and shirt. Did I tell you that he looks good no matter what he wear? Then know that some people are born with such good looks that they make any dress look fantastic. I envy him for his looks too. I am an average girl, okay let me be frank below average but I can't do anything about it so let's leave it at that. I noticed that he had a glass of water in his hand which he grabbed somewhere along the way and handed it to me. I took it questioning him with my eyes. He opened and placed some tablets.

"Some painkillers. It will help you with the pain." I told you right deep inside the cold facade he is a good guy. It's just he never lets his walls down and cares about people in his own way. He is down right good to his soul though a little arrogant. He is cute. May be I am the only who thinks a six foot handsome male who always glares to be cute. I smiled and took the tablet from him and as usual I received a glare in return for my smile.

"Where am I supposed to sleep?" 

"On the bed."

"And you."

"On the bed." He replied without missing a beat and let me tell you there is no other bed in this room, not even a sofa set to tell him that it is okay for me to sleep on the sofa.

"Which bed?" I asked skeptically.

He pointed to the one I am on clearly showing on his face the expression 'Are you stupid?'. "It is more than enough for both of us. I have no interest in you, so you need not worry."

"You are super rich right? Isn't there a spare bedroom?"

"None free at the moment and I can't risk you dying somewhere in my home. It would be a big hassle." 

Translation: I am worried about you since you are in pain and I would like to watch over you hence the same room. 

Gouenji you seriously need to keep a translator with you. His deep hatred for girls will not let him show his true gentle side to the outside world. But then again he has many fangirls as it is, if this gentle side was seen by everyone, I can't even imagine what will happen then. May be it is better like this. This way I will be the only one to know this of his, maybe along with Kidou and G. Hmm.. I think it is quite selfish to want to be the only one to know this side of his but if others know he will be even more popular than now. So what? Don't tell me I am jealous of his popularity. But I am not much interested in popularity. I think I know, if his popularity increases the no. of people glaring at me everyday will also increase and hence my wish. Wah! What am I thinking? It's not like he will become suddenly open just because I want him to, so what is the the point of all this pointless monologue.

But wait a second, though this bed is more than wide enough for two people, I mean, how can I sleep with a guy on the same bed? Seriously? He expects me to sleep on the same bed with him? What happened to 'I hate girls with all my life'? Isn't he bothered to sleep beside me or am I not considered girl enough that he doesn't even treat me as a girl. If that is should I be happy that he doesn't mind or sad that I am not girl enough? 

What about my sleeping habits? I live alone alone and I am lazy enough that I keep most of the things on my small single bed which occupies more that half of the space and I sleep in the remaining space so I thought I am decent sleeper which is what I informed my aunt when she asked me but turns out I have bad sleeping habits.  I laid my hands and legs on her and so she has to she went to another room in the middle of the night. 

Talk about embarrassing things. She teased me endless  but seriously how can I know? Because it's my aunt she went to the other room but this is Gouenji we are talking about the Mr.Arrogant and Mr.Know it all. He would kick me out of the bed and might even file a rape case against me. Why won't he when he  blackmailed me fame defilation case just because of I told my inner feelings innocently. No! No more of those horrible days. My slave days are still  going on and I don't want my days to worsen. Gouenji mostly makes me follow him around, carry his books and bring lunch. Nothing much and I want it to stay this way. I noticed movement and found that Gouenji got on the bed. How can be so relaxed like that to sleep beside me? Guess I have to be awake all night so that I won't be in trouble. Great luck! A sleepless night full of pain.

I looked at the clock to find it is exactly 12. Midnight. Start of a new day. Suddenly something appeared before me. A black rose?

"Huh!" I backed away in shock. Gouenji is on his back in a very relaxed way with his hand extended to me with a black rose. Where he did he get that?

"Um! What is it?"

"Reply for your love letter."

That guy! He knows that I am not the one who wrote it. But still! He pisses me off. I wonder why he hates me so much? Black is generally indication of evil and hatred. Basically he is just saying 'I hate you'. I took it for him annoyed. I am not going to be deterred.

"Thank you. Black rose is not a normal one and it would have taken a bit of effort to get it. I am not going to sad like you thought." I smiled at him genuinely. Even though he is giving it to me to say "I hate you' I am quite happy to receive it.
