Excerpt: Yuuko poked her head out from underneath the futon and heard the rain pattering steadily. She sighed and slid back underneath the cover.

It was just one of those days. Yuuko poked her head out from underneath the futon and heard the rain pattering steadily, just like it had when they'd gone to bed the night before, and she sighed and slid back underneath the cover. Might as well catch up on extra sleep.

Of course, Clow was awake; he'd probably been awake since dawn, as was his habit. She could hear him walk into the room, his footsteps soft, and she curled up further, conserving warmth. He wasn't going to try to make her get up, was he?

She could smell the tea in his hand and she heard the saucer and cup clink onto the floor next to her, but she didn't move. He wasn't going to bribe her out of bed with that.

When he pulled on the blanket, she muttered something under her breath, but instead of nudging her shoulder, he climbed back in beside her, wrapping his arms around her waist and burying his face in her hair.

"Hmm?" she mumbled.

"Five more minutes," he said quietly, kissing her cheek, though he didn't get up in five minutes, either. Instead, he began to snore, and the tea grew cold.

Yuuko didn't care. She smiled and went back to sleep as well. It was just one of those days.
