I was concentrated, focused on completing a sketch for a new piece I was working on. Everything needed to be perfect. I had my music turned on, loud enough for me to enjoy myself. And the curtains open so I could visually sketch the outside. I had perfect view of the park. So I was drawing the trees, the grass, the perfect sky. And it had to be done today so I could start painting tomorrow.

My pencil easily traced a line, smoothly, creating a perfect streak of value.

"It's Kai." a voice chirped from the intercom on my wall near my desk.

I scrunched my lower lip and raised my eyes, infuriated as my pencil jolted to the side, scratching a tree that took me twenty three minutes to draw. I rolled my eyes and clicked the button on the speaker.

"It's open." I said, trying to make my voice sound cheerful.

Footsteps down my hall echoed as I tried to block everything out and redraw my twenty-three minute tree. I was almost out of eraser. Someone's hands slipped around my eyes, blocking me from sight.

"Kai?" I nervously asked, scared of silence.

"You guessed it." he cheerfully answered.

He peeled his hands off and pulled up the stool under my vanity, sitting next to me while leaning over my shoulder, observing my work.

I didn't look at my boyfriend, in fear of messing up my art, or forgetting where I needed to add the value. "Looks nice." he admired.

"Thanks." I whispered.

I lifted my large camera from the end of the desk and took three photos of the scenery, just in case I missed it. Laying the camera down and closing my sketchbook, I turned to see my boyfriend, smiling.

"How are you?" I asked.

"Fine, a bit tired. You?"

"Tired, I guess."

Truth is, I was up until three this morning finishing another piece for my grandmother. I gave it to her today. It was a watercolor of the sky, she said that's what she admired most about the City. It was her birthday today, so I needed to do something special.

"What time did you go to bed?" Kai questioned, concerned.

"Not important, hot head." I sighed.

Kai lifted my chin looking into my deep (E/C) eyes.

"It matters to me, babe."

I gave in, deciding to tell him the truth. If the fire ninja calling you babe doesn't make you give in, I don't know what will. "I went to sleep around 3, it was important." I admitted, shrugging.

"Well, it's around eight now, so how about, you finish this in the morning, and we snuggle up for a movie until you fall asleep." he suggested.

I looked at my art and sighed, "Fine. What movie?"

"I brought a classic, Beauty and the Beast." he beamed.

"Ugh, you know I hate that princess."

"I know, but, it will get you to sleep."

"You're the best boyfriend ever." I giggled.

"I know." he said happily.

I scoffed and leaned in to kiss his cheek, but he turned his face so I collided with his lips, we stayed like that for a minute before walking over to my bed. Kai turned on the T.V and inserted his disc into the DvD player before sitting back with me. I curled against his chest, my knees to the side. Kai had his legs stretched out and hand over my shoulder. I closed my eyes and listened to the beat of his heart while drifting into a peaceful, and needed sleep.
