It didn't take long for Aphmau to fall asleep, halfway into the second hour long episode and she was out like a light. Although, she was nearly curled up in Aaron's lap, he didn't mind of course, but it was getting ridiculously late and he needed to get some sleep.

But there was no way he was moving when Aphmau was sleeping that soundly and trouble free while using his shoulder as a pillow.

So what was a man to do?

He had a couple options, replace his body with a pile of blankets so he could go to bed and she would still have something to lean against.

OR, not go to bed and just... sleep here.

He stared at her for a moment, then glanced back up the stairs to his room.

He shuffled to reach for the giant blanket to replace himself with, only for Aphmau to huff in subconscious frustration and grabbed his arm tighter.

Shit. Okay, staying here it is.

Since he was already holding the blanket, he threw it over the both of them, and very slowly brought them both into a laying position.

This was weird. And he was usually pretty okay with anything, it didn't feel wrong per say, but he felt a twang of awkwardness as she lie peacefully on his chest.

A slight blush rushed to his ears. This reminded him of high school, where himself and Aphmau met, and well, you know how high schoolers are. Full of hormones and misguided feelings.

It had been what? Ten years ago since they were last this close. He'd thought about it more recently of course, someone didn't just get over a first crush.

He wasn't sure where he was going with his thoughts, but he did fall asleep to the sound of them.

The phones ugly noise reverberated through the house, startling the sleeping duo into a slight panic.

It went to voice-mail

Hey Aaron, It's Jeff, I gotta fly into Texas next week, and I couldn't find a sitter, normally I'd ask first but seeing as you owe me a favor...

The voice-mail faded into the background for both of them. bodies had tangled up during the night and nothing could slice through the thick layer of embarrassment that had surrounded the two.

Aphmau fell back onto Aaron twice due to the speed she had tried to peel herself off him, Aaron was not helping and instead was laughing both at her failed attempts and at himself (For not helping, go figure)

"Sorry! Sorry!" She finally managed to hoist herself up of the couch, ears and face stained a florescent red, some out of embarrassment, but some still out of anger with Aaron's now uncontrollable laughter.

"Why is this so funny to you?" She seethed, but underneath she had started to grin due to his contagious laughter.

"You *wheeze* looked like a fish out of water." Internally, Aaron was just as mortified at their position as she was, but her struggle was far more entertaining than his embarrassment for now.

"I- Hey! I did not!"

"Yeah, and Dante is good with women." His laughter finally chilled, and Aphmau slowly got over the initial embarrassment of being tangled up in such a... intimate postiton..

"Alright. Fine. Whatever." She huffed in indignation, only for Aaron to chuckle back.

"S-sorry, you fell asleep in my shoulder last night and when I tried to move you didn't let me, so I just didn't move." At his explanation, her temper cooled slightly.

"It's fine, just don't ever call me a fish again!" She grumbled, before looking up at the living room clock.

"It's nearly noon! The girls are going to wonder where I am! I better go!" She quickly grabbed her things and called for Celestia, who had been napping on one of the couch armrests the entire time.

"Alright! See you!" He barely got the words out before she shut the door, leaving him alone in the near silence of his apartment.

Aphmau almost sprinted to her house, Celestia right on her tail as she whipped open the door, Katelyn and Kawaii~Chan were both waiting on her, Kawaii~Chan with not-at-all concealed excitement and Katelyn with not-even-trying-to-hide-it-anger.

"Where has Aphmau~Senpei been all night?" Aphmau was expecting Katelyn to ask the first question, and was surprised to be answering Kawaii~Chan first.

"It was movie night like every Friday guys." Aphmau responded as nonchalantly as she could possibly muster.

"Yeah but you're usually home by like one am. It's noon." Ah, there was the barely contained anger that was Katelyn, she didn't sound pleased.

"I fell asleep." Aphmau answered simply, trying to inch her way upstairs to avoid this unpleasant conversation.

"And Aaron didn't wake you up?"

"He... uh fell asleep too."

Ah, the sentence that broke the werewolves back. Kawaii~Chan could no longer contain her excitement and let out a squeal that Laurance and Garroth heard from across the street.

"I feel a disturbance". Said poor Laurance

"What happened?!" Katelyn stood up to stop Aphmau from running up the stairs.

"Nothing! We fell asleep! Why are you so interested?" She asked through a massive blush, no nothing happened, but at the same time, something had.

"Because I need to know if best freind has been defiled! You come home at like noon wearing the same outfit as yesterday, from a guys house, a guy you used to date mind you!"

"We did not used to date! And I assure you I haven't been defiled!" Katelyn did not look convinced, and neither was Kawaii~Chan based upon her continued screaming.

"Guys, Nothing happened, nothing will ever happen between Aaron and I. Okay?" She yelled, a pang of random guilt immediately washed over her, but this interrogation needed to end at this instant.

"And even if it did I wouldn't be this damn obvious about it. Jeeze" Oops, that addition was supposed to be internal, but the gasps that emitted from the duo with her was enough for her to escape into her room and lock the door.

Well, that was going to be a permanent memory for them.
