Splashing the reader with water.

He stayed up all night, writing reports on his computer.

… I would assume so. I take it you just don’t need to rest much? ( he’s learning more about Rui, which is nice.. he was completely a mystery at first, but now? He’s falling for him again. ) Then I’ll take one beside your room..

I don’t mind working around your sleep schedule too.. I just like sleeping, it gives me something to pass the time.. ( … he never really had hobbies, so sleeping was his go-to activity. ) I like it, being closer with you.. and we’d still both have our own spaces too..

Nervously smoking a cigarette. He’s stressed.

he’s just.. letting it happen! “Rui-?”

“Oh-! Sorry that I vanished.. I had work- I hope.. I know you understand, right?” Arms wrapping around him, holding him tightly.

“Yeah, had a bit of a scare. Thankfully my gift is strong enough to get me out of some things…” Smiling softly. “And how have you been?”

“I didn’t want to trouble you with my work.. and Mob work. It’s already bad enough I had to go onto the field..” His nerves are shot from being in public, AND being in the field of work. “I think I should just.. disappear off the map, honestly..”

“I’m relaxing.. I find it nice here, and with you.. it’s just the two of us, and I feel happy about it.” Leaning into the hug, closing his eyes. “Maybe I’ll travel worlds with you…”

“You’re here..” He nodded, before reaching into his pocket to pull out the blue butterfly clip. “I took it off for safe keeping..”

“No damage, I made sure of that..” A happy smile, closing his eyes as he puts the clip in his hair. “I don’t have to worry, because I have you, right? “

“I’ve been lacking in my practice. It’s hard to practice without getting my apartment soaked..” A quiet hum, before smiling. “Do you have any instant ramen? I’ve been craving it..” He’s always craving it.

Tying his hair back, before practicing with his gift.

Good evening… 😪💤

Mmh.. ( slumping against him. ) Sleepy.. you’re warm..

Bundled up in blankets, fast asleep on Rui’s couch.

Mhmm… ( he doesn’t have to be told twice, he’s closing his eyes and dozing off. )

( and he’s dozing off, even if it’s just for a few minutes.. he’s been using a lot of energy lately. )
