Something really short that I came up with on the spot just to keep you all busy while I'm working on LOTS of requests. They'll be done someday, I promise!

PS: You don't know how close I was to turning this oneshot into a lemon but I thought y'all would bully me so I didn't.

"You wanna see it?"

Y/N: "I most certainly don't!"

If you had gone to the past and told yourself that you would meet someone that was just as weird and childish, he would be excited, but you of right now wasn't. The girl in front of you was a total weirdo, a chunibyo, is a better term for her. And the worst part was that she was your friend. She also lived with you, which was both a blessing and a curse.

Rikka: "Understood."

Y/N: "What do you need? What's so important that you have to wake me up at..."

You checked the clock on the wall, it was 03:15 am.

Y/N: "Three in the morning?"

Rikka: "I need your help in important matters."

Y/N: "This late?"

Rikka: "Yes."

Then there was silence. Rikka's hands went behind her back, she blushed a little.

Rikka: "I had a nightmare..."

Her eye looks away, she was embarrassed.

Y/N: "Okay. That still doesn't explain what you're doing here."

Rikka: "I'm scared..."

This time, her voice was quieter and she sounded a lot more cuter.

Y/N: "And, what? You wanna sleep with me?"

She nodded. It was too cute for my own good.

Y/N: "Ah, you know what? I-It's fine. Come in."

Rikka walked in your bedroom, holding onto your arm.

Rikka: "Show us the way, O Great Crimson Leader!"

Y/N: "Yes yes..."

You walked into the bedroom and you looked at her, she seemed nervous. You placed your hand on her head, patting it.

Y/N: "Don't worry. Whatever monster you saw in your nightmare won't hurt you anymore. Not if I'm here to stop it!"

Rikka: "Yeah, you're strong enough!"

Even if you didn't like her weird antics, you were kind enough to play along, to make her feel like she wasn't the odd one out, and because it was fun.

Rikka sat on the bed, inspecting it as if it was possessed by some evil spirit and it needed to be cleansed. Thankfully, it wasn't. As she lied down, she couldn't face you because of how embarrassed she felt at the moment, staring outside the window, her eye on the moon in the night sky.

Rikka: "Come, lay next to me and sleep. I-I promise not to be a bother to you..."

Y/N: "R-Right..."

You lied down on the other side of the bed, looking at Rikka as she looked away from you. Sure, this was kind of awkward, but it couldn't get any more awkward than this. You were sure of it.

Y/N: "Psst. Hey, Rikka."

Rikka: "Y-Yeah?"

She turned around to face you, and with the moonlight coming in from the window,  the view was almost angelical, the way her face looked with the moon behind her.

Y/N: "Are you gonna... remove the eyepatch?"

Rikka: "I am not certain—"

You slowly moved your hand, grabbing the eyepatch and removing it, seeing Rikka's other eye along with a Rikka that was extremely cute with an embarrassed expression.

Rikka: "Y/N..."

Y/N: "Don't worry, it won't go anywhere."

You placed the eyepatch on your nightstand, then your focus returned to Rikka as she smiled. Your heart was melting because of how adorable she looked with the moonlight making everything feel much more serene and the whispering between the two of you really made it all much better when it came to the room being tranquil.

Y/N: "So, what did you see?"

Rikka: "Something so big, grotesque, indescribable."

Y/N: "Have you tried to... get rid of it?"

Rikka: "Yes, but he continued to plague my dreams, it was a persistent creature!"

Y/N: "Right, at least we know that it won't be hurting you anymore. Sleep well, little one."

Just as you were starting to feel drowsy, Rikka poked your cheek.

Y/N: "...Huh?"

Rikka: "Y/N...."

Y/N: "Yeah?"

Rikka: "My heart is pounding..."

Y/N: "I'm sure you might still be a bit spooked from that nightmare..."

Rikka: "I'm gonna explode!"

Y/N: "Are you okay?"

Rikka shook her head, unsure as to why she felt the way she did. You placed your hand on her forehead, and she felt okay, but her face was red.

Y/N: "Don't exactly know what's wrong with you, so we'll see tomorrow if anything changes, if you can hold on for a couple more hours."

Rikka: "I will do my best!"

She closed her eyes, trying to sleep but since she couldn't she just looked at me. I placed my hand on her cheek, confirming that her face now felt warm.

Y/N: "You'll be fine. I'm here to take care of you if anything happens to you after all."

And indeed, it did.

The next morning, Rikka had a fever. It wasn't anything too drastic so I could still take care of her.

Rikka: "This is nothing! I know I can cure myself from this poison that's very slowly killing—"

She held her head.

Rikka: "Owie. Y/N... come here..."

Y/N: "Yeah I'm here."

Rikka held my hand, which was the first time she would do something like that, so the fever was affecting her more than I thought.

Rikka: "Don't leave me...."

Y/N: "I won't. I promise."

You smiled, staying by her side the entire day, and the next day, you got a fever as well, but you and Rikka were together. Maybe, being Rikka's friend wasn't such a bad thing.

Rikka: "...Can you get some water?"

Y/N: "Yeah, I'll get some water."
