unknownrival | [Accidental Video Post]

[This video, unlike most of the others, has a timestamp in the lower right corner. Right now, it's 8:35 PM, and Issei is lying on his futon in his sleeping yukata, obviously trying to get to sleep.

He closes his eyes. A few seconds after he does so, he lets out a yelp and jolts awake, breathing heavily.

The video skips to a few more times: 10:17, 11:20, 12:30. Each time, the process is repeated: Issei shuts his eyes, clearly tired, but every time he does some nightmare shocks him awake.

At the last one, he sighs and starts to speak.]

This can't go on. I need to find some way to get to sleep. Something to protect me from... from that. But I'm far too old to sleep in the room of any of the other monks, or even my family. I don't have a dog to curl up with, I won't call Haruto at this hour and for this reason, and I can't think of any other way to make my consciousness relax-

[He lifts his head, and stops. He's staring at his Christmas present from Kaito: a small Kid plushie. Blushing slightly, he continues:]

...at this point, I would try anything. If, if he were here, Kid would protect me, wouldn't he? And he shouldn't be able to take offense at that, so...

[Issei stands up and pulls the plushie off the shelf. No sooner does he lie back down and cuddle with it than he's fast asleep. The video continues for a few minutes to prove this, then dissolves into static.]

((All replies will come after he wakes up for the day. ...Which will be quite a bit later than his day should actually start (in two and a half hours).))

You two must be very close.

It's wishful thinking, I know. But still...

Says him.

... I don't see what's so great about Kaitou Kid anyway. He's an arrogant jerk that bugs the crap out of me whenever we speak.

I believe him.

He has just reason to be arrogant! He's talented, dedicated, and a genuinely good person despite all of the rules he breaks. And he's kind to me. How could I not like him?

What, has he spoken about me often to you or something??

He may be nice to you, but he barely gives me the time of day.

I've seen you in his magic shows. You two seem like very intimate friends.

Perhaps you just rub each other the wrong way.

I'm not in those stupid shows by choice! Hell, one almost got me eaten!

I guess so. Don't even get me started on when he showed up in my world. Worst experience of my life.

You weren't, though. And they are always amusing to the rest of us.

Was it really so bad?

So glad to have risked my neck to give you a chuckle.

Yes! I'm not looking to repeat the performance any time soon.

He wouldn't have really let you be hurt.

Ah, well. I'd be thrilled if he would heist in my world.

Didn't help the situation in the first place though.

Why?

My apologies.

Then I could introduce my friends and family to him and let them see the heist. I want them to understand why I'm so excited about them.

Hm. You're just an utter fanboy for Kid, aren't ya.

He's my friend first! Th, the fan thing comes after that in importance!

But you admit it exists.

...Yes. Is that a problem?

No, it's not a problem. I'm just making a mental note of things.

May I ask what for?

I just like to remember certain things about community members, that's all.

Please don't use this information against Kid. I may not know what use it is, but if you're planning to hurt him with it, I will stop you.

Hey, you got the wrong impression. I don't like the guy, but I have no intention of hurting him.

That's a relief.

Still think he's an annoying jerk though.

You can't win them all.

Hm, one can try though. Anyway, next time you see Kid, tell him to do me a favor and keep his nose out of my business.

I'll keep that in mind.
