Nicki plopped down into bed, lying side-by-side with the girl, and letting out a squeak of a yawn, followed by a giggle at her own noise. She gave a little hum, looked up at the ceiling, and stretched out her toes. "Kai?" She whispered, as though she might've already fallen asleep. "I kinda wanna be more than friends."
Kailee had already crawled into bed when she heard the pitter patter of Nicki’s feet coming into her bedroom. One eye opened to sleepily peer at the girl, a brief, tired smile crossing her face as she was joined. Kailee shifted a little to allow the other tiny girl some room and get comfortable, not even bothering to question her presence.

“We’re much more than friends, princess. We’re best friends, remember?” Kailee giggled softly, but an idle hand reached and lightly squeezed Nicki’s.
