Ohhhh, you're my best friend [CLOSED]

[friend-of-samus.livejournal.com]

Pikachu trained quite often these days ever since his big breakdown in the Pod Caverns. When he'd learned about the crew quarters, he'd had no questions about the arrangements, moving in with Samus immediately. Still, her work with Security and around the ship as a whole meant they were hardly around each other twenty four seven. He might have gone to find her, but at the moment he was just tired. His last workout had exhausted him, and he came in to the room, climbing onto and then flopping down on Samus's bed.

Her bed was his favorite. He didn't really know why, but the small Pokemon did know he could still smell her after she left, and that was rather comforting to the little guy. So, much like a cat or dog with a favored person, Pikachu went for things that inspired the familiar. Like Samus's pillow, which Pikachu was now rolling onto in his sleep. Letting out a yawn that stretched his jaws almost impossibly wide, the electric mouse sighed softly and went deeper into sleep.

It had been a full day for Samus. Training, security meetings, and patrol, not to mention she hasn't been able to stop thinking about the GLaDOS problem for awhile now. She needed to relax, but that wasn't in her nature as a bounty hunter. She'd sleep, but only because she could only function so long without it.

She opened the door to her room to find, well, a kind of cute sight. Her lip twitched, a rare small smile graced her face. She really did have a soft spot for Pikachu. She closed the door behind her, gently sitting down on the bed next to him. She didn't want to wake him.

As tired as he was, Pikachu was still a light sleeper. As soon as someone had entered the room, one ear had twitched in warning. When Samus had actually sat on the bed with him, both ears, along with his head, perked up, and he turned his empty and soulless gaze on the bounty hunter.

"Pika pikapi?" he inquired, cocking his head to the side curiously.

Samus looked down at him, offering a weary smile, "Hey."

[friend-of-samus.livejournal.com]

"Pika," he replied. Samus needed sleep; that much was obvious. Moving from her pillow, Pikachu strode over to the foot of her bed and curled up, still looking up at her. The invitation was fairly obvious, but Pikachu knew that Samus could be stubborn.

"Are you trying to tell me something?" She leaned over scratching behind his ears. Why yes, Samus was being stubborn for the sake of being stubborn.

[friend-of-samus.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, Pikachu knew that stubbornness. Though he did like the scratching, he also wanted Samus to get some rest. So he got up from his spot and lightly headbutted Samus in the side, trying to get her to fall back on the bed.

That caught her by surprise. It wasn't quite enough to push her back, but she got the message.

"Alright, alright, I get it." She laid down on the bed, propping her head up with one arm, "Happy?"

[friend-of-samus.livejournal.com]

"Pika pika!" Pikachu was definitely happier now, plopping back down on the bed next to the Samus. He was fairly certain she'd get some sleep now, so he had no qualms with scooting a little closer to her and going back to sleep himself. It was actually quite easy, and within a few minutes he was out like a light, snoring softly.

Samus dropped her head back onto the pillow, closing her eyes. Pikachu won, she'd sleep, or at least try.
