Go to sleep
Riku's point of view.
Snaping open my eyes, I almost sit bolt upright. I stop myself myself though because it would of woke him up. Turning to face him, I try to go back to sleep, only to snap my eyes open again moments later. I just can't face that nightmare again, not tonight.
Sometimes, without warning I had horrible nightmares of when I was trapped inside the door to kingdom hearts. Even though I had no real memories of it after me, Sora and King Mickey had closed it, or how I had escaped. I'd close my eyes and images of being surrounded by darkness and the glowing eyes of thousands of heartless would enter my mind and I just couldn't take it. The mere thought of it and everything that led up to it terrified me.
So now I was simply watching him sleep. I see his beautifully serene features and wonder what he's dreaming about.
I don't know how much time passed when he finally opened his eyes and looked at me, but I know he senses my lack of sleep when he asks:
"What's up? Couldn't sleep again, or just wanted to watch me sleep?"
I just grin and sheepishly at him, it was actually a bit of both.
He suddenly sits upright against the headboard and motions for me to lay my head on his lap. Not wanting to argue I do so. And the moment he starts running his fingers through my hair, I'm in heaven.
I feel a smile form on my lips as I start to relax. I vaguely realise he was humming something before I hear him whisper that he loves me. I answer him and wonder if he actually heard me before sleep finnaly accepts me.
Clouds point of view.
I open my eyes and he's watching me. The shadows under his beautiful aqua coloured eyes tell me he hadn't slept again. Whether it was because of his fear of the darkness that sometimes seems to be just waiting for him to sleep or even close his eyes too long, or he had simply wanted to watch me sleep again, I don't know. But when I ask him about it, the sheepish grin on his face and the slightly haunted look in his eyes, tell me it had been a bit of both.
Sighing I sit up in bed, and leaning against the headboard, I beckon for him to lay his head on my lap.
Neither of us said a word as I hum the tune to some forgotten song that just appeared in my head, and start to run my fingers through his beautiful shoulder length silver hair.
Within minutes I can feel his tense muscles relax as my fingers running through his hair always seems to comfort him, and soon his deep steady breathing tell me he'll soon be fast asleep.
I look out of our bedroom window and watch as the sun starts to rise. Never once stopping my stroking of his hair, I whisper.
"I love you, Riku"
"Love you too, Cloud" And then, just like that, it was my turn to watch him sleep.
