At night, everything that moves should be resting.

They do so to restore some energy for tomorrow, that's what X thought when he decides to stay for the night inside one of the resistance base bedrooms. However, what the cyber elf didn't acknowledge is that there is one who always want to bend his general idea on things. That person was also able to sneak inside without being detected by X himself (or maybe because X was too busy to notice) and lean on his shoulder, monitoring his deceased friend's web views.

"What is it Zero? Didn't Ciel say that I need some privacy here?" The cyber elf asked, looking at his right to see a crimson reploid staring right at him.

"But this is my room." Zero replied back, returning to his position and continued to check the websites his friend is searching on the net.

"But didn't you say to Ciel that you don't sleep at all?" X looks back and navigates the green screen by touching certain icons, several screens pop out as he was doing so.

"That's to make her feel better. Didn't you see how tired she looks?" Zero points to one of the smaller screens and scrolls it down.

"Ciel wasn't tired, she was in need of a sexual partner." X muttered then softly laughed. Zero didn't hear the words clearly but he did sense the irregular movement of the cyber elf's data form.

"What's in your mind?" Zero questioned and this time, for the sake of hearing properly, leaned closer to pay more attention to his friends soft voice.

"You."

Eyes widening, Zero quickly retorts back on this sentence. "What about me?" The elf didn't seem to mind the question until Zero tugged his friend's sleeve a bit. "X..."

"Huh?" X glances again to his concerned partner with a puzzled look. When Zero explains his confusion on X's statement, the elf blushed. "I meant how dense you are towards your admirers! What do you think I'm thinking?!"

"...." Zero didn't comment and to change the topic, opened a hacked-open-by-X file, revealing an ex-scientist. X wanted to protest but was shushed with the hand covering his mouth by the crimson swordsman.

After a while, Zero (seeing no struggle from the cyber elf, removes his hand) found the words he was looking for and spoke, "Him..."

"I have this bad feeling that when we finish finding the dark elf, we'll meet him again. Seeing that the scientist was the one who caused her to become like that, there is a high probability my hypothesis would occur." X sighs.  Unfortunately, Zero jumped into another disturbing topic to discuss.

"Or you're interested in old looking men," Zero announced mischievously, "Like what you did with Dr. Light and those other foggies you've mentioned in your journal."

"For your information, those 'foggies' contributed many great work that helped change our-" X explained while  Zero scanned the long general info about the exiled scientist, Dr. Weil. Zero didn't know whether to hear his friend's boring talk or leave the room. Leaving the room seemed like a hassle so Zero decided to lie down and pretend that his friend was telling him a bed time story (more like a lecture on History.)

"So you shouldn't immediately say that-" X stopped and wondered why he felt a soft weight on his thighs. Looking  down, Rockman X wasn't happy to see a sleepy reploid on his lap, "Zero...."

Zero was so close to going into his sleep cycle until the noise stopped. Curiosity urged him to open his left eye and check. Seeing the cyber elf glare, Zero replied calmly, "Yes?"

"Can you answer me something?" X chirped sweetly, sensing his friend's shoulder tense a little made the elf smile.

'So this must be one of the reasons why cyber elves are so obedient to him...' Zero thought, looking directly at the emerald orbs with a grin, "Fire away."

"How many beds each room in the resistance have?"

"Two." Zero answered, opening his other eye to see the cyber elf's celestial form lighten the room.

"Who has a double bed in their room?"

"Ciel." Zero then eyed at the rainbow-colored halo on his friend's head, having a strong urge to grab hold of it.

"Exactly my point. Now I give you two options, it's either you sleep beside Ciel or occupy the lower bed." X continued even though Zero isn't paying much attention. Much to X's dismay, Zero has another say to this problem.

"Can I create option three?"

"What would that be?" X asked hesitantly, knowing fully the response his cunning friend can create.

"Seeing that you're an elf. You can change yourself into that tiny sphere form so we can both fit together on this bed." Zero stated, earning a pat on the head.

"Am I intruding your privacy?" X asked worriedly, thinking that he is getting too close towards his friend's sanctuary which he did before and ended up into a nasty argument with the 'females'. "I think I'll just occupy the lower bed."

"Wait-huh?" Zero blinks several times, not being able to comprehend why his friend's mood changed so suddenly.

"Sorry about that..." X apologizes and gently lifts Zero's head on to the bed. Floating down, X finally reached to the lower bed and sat down, dimming the screens in order for the other to rest. "Good night Zero..."

Zero due to the change of events did not respond. For the following hours, He just watched the soothing glow from below and was surprised to see it suddenly disappear. Curiously, Zero stealthily peeped down, pondering on what happened to the source of the light. Instead, he sees a yawning figure preparing to enter his sleep cycle.

"X?" Zero whispered. Five minutes past and he still gains no response. 'Guess this means I have a room mate.'
Woohoo! Zero gets a new roommate! :)
