recap-

"That would require another secret exchange" she said smiling making BB chuckle

"Another day then, I'm tired, let's take a nap I.V." he said opening his arms inviting her to lay beside him

"A nap?" she asked, BB nodded

"Yes, It is when you lay on a bed and rest your body during the day for a couple of hours" he explained, she nodded and crawled up to lay in his arms facing his chest. BB's arms wrapped aound her and held her securely to his chest.

'why do I feel so protective of her?' was his last thought as he fell asleep along side the little pinkette

end recap-

I.V. pov

Coming back into consciousness the first thing that registered in my mind was the distinct feeling of warmth and safety, the next thing was an anoying pounding sound coming from the door. My lips formed a snarl as I snapped my eyes open I sat up,removing myself from BB's embrace, with every intention of consuming whomever dared disturb my 'nap'. Opening the door swiftly I was immediatly hit with the scent of death, looking up into red rimmed brown eyes I understood.

"A correct?" I asked politely, remembering the torturous video Watari had me watch, he at first had the expression of surprise before falling into an expression of confusion

"Yes, may I ask why you are in BB's room?" he asked, I nodded my head and answered with a simple word "Nap". He seemed put out by my response but accepted none the less

"Is he awake?" he asked timidly, looking behind me quickly I shook my head and asked a question of my own before he could speak

"Why are your eyes red?"

"Because I am tired"

"Why are you tired?"

"Because I was studying"

"Why are you studying?"

"To become L's successer"

I narrowed my eyes at this response and crossed my arms over my chest

"I do not understand" I said firmly glaring at him, "why would you risk your health to succeed him? Do you not realize that you will never become his successer if you are dead?" I said with all seriousness, deciding that my question did not need a response I simply bid him a good day and closed the door. Turning around I found BB sitting up and staring at me, feeling uncomfortable from his intense gaze I unconsciously began to play with the ends of my t-shirt.

"What are you staring at?" I growled out, then he did the oddest thing, he smiled at me! I simply do not understand how this emotion thing is supposed to work.

"You're a very nice person I.V." he said softly, for some reason my face heated and I couldn't meet his gaze

"That is irrelevent, why were you staring at me?" I asked forcefully once again, instead of a response he simply laid back down on his bed and with one arm gestured for me to come foward. Normally I would be offended at being treated like a pet, I've certainly bitten Watari a couple of times for the same offense, but I didn't feel insulted at all by his gesture; instead I felt... warmed? Regardless I approached the bed and with only a slight difficulty I managed to pull myself up onto the bed. His arms wrapped around me forcing me to curl into the heat he emanated, once comfortable I sighed.

Humans truly are confusing creatures, perhaps BB would have a more detailed answer than those ridiculous videos. I shifted and turned my body to face his, I noticed his eyes slightly widen at this, unsure of the reason i stored it away to examine at a later date.

"BB, why are humans so confusing?" I asked getting the question out there quickly, he choked slightly but seemed to gather himself rather quickly.

"Well confusing how?" he asked, I laid onto my back and stared at the ceiling before finding the proper words

"Emotions, I don't understand them, what causes a reaction?" I asked, he followed my example and stared at the ceiling

"Well I'm not really sure, I don't pay much attention to that and I am only seven there are plenty of things I don't know of" he explained, I huffed in slight irritation not liking the answer, I sat up and decided that I shall dedicate my learning and studies to unraveling the mysteries of the human mind; I jumped off the bed and headed towards the door

"I.V. where are you going?" BB asked an unknown emotion in his voice, I looked at him as if it were obvious

"To the library of course, if i'm ever going to truly understand then I should get started don't you agree?" I asked rhetorically, he sighed and laid back down

"Do what you like"
