At the mention of the bookstore, Chi lit up, "Yeah! Sorry, it had only gotten so late. It's down the road and off the corner of the park, actually. Might you have seen it? It sells more than books, actually, it's just what I go there for. It has old records and CDs, DVDs, donated clothes and toys, along with books. It's something of a more glamourous thriftshop." This time, Chi hadn't stopped to realised she'd actually began rambling until she finished her sentence, making her face burn a little hotter and draw her eyes to the floor.

"Ahem, if you really want to," She said quickly, leaning against the counter and folding her arms over her chest as she gave herself a silent pep talk. Just relax. She practically invited you first anyway, silly. Deep breaths. Okay. You can do this.

Mie couldn't deny the twinge of disappointment at Luna's closeness and warmth disappearing and watching the small girl go made Miesha want to reach out and grab her and hold her again. Instead, she sighed, pushing off of the counter and turning to take her food out of the microwave and mixing it with a spoon. She felt her face burning hotter than the sun, probably as red as a tomato at this point. She ate the oatmeal a little too quickly, dropping the Advil in the last spoonful [no matter how strong she was, Miesha could never stand the taste] and finishing by sucking down a bottle of water. After cleaning up, she started up the stairs to her and Luna's shared room and stifled a yawn. She'd usually gotten home earlier and would usually be in bed by now. Then again, she usually had a job. She ignored that last thought and gently closed the door behind her with a soft click.

She looked over to Luna's bed. Empty. She didn't panic, instead, looking over to her own bed and seeing the small, familiar form of her best friend. Of course. It wasn't uncommon for Luna to sleep in Miesha's bed, but every time she saw her a rush of heat flooded her cheeks and she couldn't help but let a shy smile spread across her face. After changing into some comfortable clothes, she lifted the blanket and crawled under it with Luna, still asleep, turning her back to her and shutting her eyes. It was only when her head hit the pillow she realised how really exhausted she felt.
