A/N: So, this is the first RyoSaku fic that I'm posting. I made this story because Ryoma and Sakuno are one of my most favorite couples. Tell me what you think. Thank you!
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Except the plot.
Ryoma Echizen smiled slightly as he felt his girlfriend's fingers brush her hair. She was humming a soft tune and soon he had drifted off to sleep.
Sakuno Ryuuzaki continued to comb her fingers through his dark hair, watching his chest rise and fall in a regular rhythm. She could not help but wonder how he could sleep that fast. But she had just assumed it was because of the strenuous training that he was undergoing daily.
She had no idea whatsoever how wrong she was.
He pulled his jacket closer as he felt the cold wind pound him. He made his way faster towards his goal and once again acknowledged how lucky he was that it wasn't raining.
He sighed deeply as he finally reached his destination. After a few moments, he rang the doorbell.
She blinked, not quite believing that she was seeing Ryoma standing outside her door at ten in the evening. Without a word, he pushed past her and went to the living room. Snapping back to her senses, Sakuno shut the door and followed him. She found him sitting on the couch, his head leaned back and eyes closed.
"Is anything wrong, Ryoma?"
He looked up at her and motioned for her to sit down beside him. She obeyed and waited for him to answer her.
"I couldn't sleep." His voice was as indifferent as ever.
Sakuno glanced at him questioningly, "But why are you here?"
Ryoma bowed his head before saying in a low voice, "It's your entire fault."
Her eyes widened, "M-My fault? B-But…how is it m-my fault?"
She had gotten over her stuttering in front of him except for times of nervousness, confusion and embarrassment.
The tennis prince took a deep breath, "I can't sleep. It—it has been going on for about a long while now."
Now Sakuno was really, really confused, "B-But w-why, Ryoma? You were a-always able t-to sleep easily d-during lunchtime."
He sighed and turned to face her.
"That's the problem; I could only seem to sleep when I'm with you."
She blushed. He could only sleep when he's with her?
After an awkward silence, she glanced at him and noticed that he looked…uncomfortable, a tinge of pink staining his cheeks.
She reached over to place a hand on the side of his face.
His features softened and he leaned closer.
Ten minutes later, Sakuno was staring into the slumbering face of Ryoma. His head resting on her lap and her fingers running through his hair. Just like lunchtime.
She knew she wouldn't be getting any sleep but…it was worth it. She was thankful it was a Friday night.
He woke up to find that he was embracing a sleeping Sakuno. He blinked a couple of times, still not loosening his hold on her. Finally he remembered. Somewhere along the night, he had maneuvered her to lie down beside him before drifting off to sleep again.
She looked much peaceful in her sleep. He smiled and continued to gaze at her face.
A few minutes later, her eyes fluttered open to reveal sleepy chocolate orbs. He smirked and leaned down to capture her lips in his own. He backed away and smiled at her.
"I had a good night. Thank you, Sakuno."
Before she could formulate an answer, he had covered her mouth with his own again.
