Chaise Lounge

"Kuni-bu, why do you love me?"

That simple question broke the stillness of the room. I was reading my law textbook on the chaise lounge, while Ryoma took a nap, his head on my lap. Or so I thought.

"Ryo, I thought you were napping."

A small pout appeared on his lips. "Kuni-bu, don't evade the question."

I mentally scratched my head, trying to rack my law-addled brain for an answer. "Well, what brought this on, then?"

He stood up and sat on my lap, taking away my book, marking the page carefully before putting it down. He knew that I always needed to keep tabs on my readings after all.

"I suddenly dreamt about our friends. You know, like Eiji and Fuji. They got together because Eiji was a good sport even though Fuji was sadistic and all that. And Monkey King and Oishi-mama, they got together because Monkey King was impressed by Oishi-mama's coddling and fussing. Kaidoh fell for Inui, because they're together a lot, though I really think that it's probably some sort of Stockholm Syndrome—"

"Ryo…" I lifted an eyebrow at that.

"What?" He shrugged his shoulders and continued. "And the two of us…well, why did you choose me? We're probably the least interesting couple ever."

I chuckled silently. He probably heard from one of our friends that we're boring people, since we don't really talk much in public.

"I'll just show it to you."

I pulled him closer towards my chest, gently getting him to put his entire body on top of mine.

"See?" I put my chin on his head. "Don't we fit this chaise lounge perfectly?"

Omake:

He stayed still and kept quiet.

"Ryo?"

Suddenly, he snuggled closer into my shirt. I almost didn't hear his sleepy mumble.

"I don't really get what you said, but I guess I could live with that."
