Huggable Kitten B3, Friday Late Afternoon

[intraspective]

Friday afternoon and Ino was sprawled out on her bed with an anatomy text. Talk about boring. This was better than brooding about Cal, or giving into the urge to go and strangle Ichigo though, so whatever. The text, at the moment, was closed and she was testing how well she'd managed to retain what she'd studied.

Ino wondered, really, if she'd ever feel like she knew enough to actually feel confident in her abilities while working at the clinic. What had she been thinking, seriously? She didn't know anything about healing.

Bruises and cuts were only the tiniest tip of the knowledge she needed to know. She sighed, and focused again on her studying.

[For Hinata, then open afterwards.]

She petted his hair. "You need sleep, silly," she said quietly. "And he'll still be here tomorrow."

"Wake me up in a couple of hours? Hopefully, I'll dream something good to cook."

He had to bring him dinner tonight.

"I don't want him thinking I don't keep my word," he pointed out.

She ruffled his hair. "Go to sleep," she said, not promising anything either way. "I'll be here."

He opened his eyes.

"I don't want to let him down the day he meets me, Ino."

But then his eyes drooped again and his muscles relaxed.

The calm even breathing told her everything she needed to know.

"Have faith in me," she said, even though he was sleeping, and stealthily pulling her medical textbook over so she could study while he... took up most of her bed. "You won't."

She wouldn't let him.
