Come to Bed With Me?

Ritsuka lay in his bed quietly while staring at his alarm clock. The bright green digital numbers lit up his expressionless face as he blinked a couple of times and eventually rolled over to look at the sliding glass door to the outside balcony of his room. The place where Soubi was often found sneaking into his room late at night to see him. His mother had never found out yet, and as far as things were going, she never would. He was glad for that, because he needed to keep Soubi a secret. His friends already knew about him of course, and his teacher, and the woman at the hospital he had to see every Wednesday. If people started to know too many things, it wouldn't be good. Or at least, that's how he saw it in his mind.

Soubi was something to him. A fighter unit, maybe that was all it ever would be. Ritsuka was still found thinking on the subject though, wondering if Soubi had ever wanted it as more. He was always kissing him, holding him, telling him he loved him. Which at first, Ritsuka had hated it and tried to push these things away. However, as he spent more and more time with the man he wanted it more, wanted to hear him say those three words he longed for. He was just about the only person who said it to him anymore. That meant something deep down in his heart, and maybe Soubi's too.

Then when he really got to thinking about it, he remembered that Seimei had ordered Soubi to love him. But, Ritsuka loved Seimei, right? And what he says goes in Soubi's world…so maybe that was something that he could accept. Soubi though, it was different. Maybe he loved Ritsuka and Seimei at the same time? Well of course he did, he didn't know why he thought differently about it for a moment there.

Seimei, his brother, one of the few people he'd ever loved. He loved him and his mother, despite the way she treated him. And maybe even know he was starting to feel that odd emotion for Soubi as well, he just wasn't so sure about that yet. But Seimei…there was a possibility that he was still alive? How could that be? Soubi was telling him that it wasn't true, that he was really dead. Could he believe that? It was hard to…but when you had so many others telling you that he may still be alive, but off…somewhere. Wherever that was.

And now his mother was going crazy or something along those lines, saying Seimei was calling the house. That was impossible, he really was dead, right?

Ritsuka didn't want him to be dead, but he wasn't sure what would happen if he was alive either…if he was. Soubi would want him again, want him back and possibly forget all about him. Ritsuka frowned at the thought, he would have to sit around and watch the two be together again, he'd have to forget all the times Soubi had said 'I love you'. He'd have to watch them kiss and hold each other and…whatever else they would be doing!

Or would he?

Sighing, he pulled the blanket over his head and wanted to sleep, but his eyes weren't allowing it. And it was late, he'd be falling asleep in class tomorrow if he didn't get any sleep. For some reason in his mind he wanted Soubi there to be with him. To help him sleep, to curl up with him and have him hold him. That would be nice…the thought was nice at least in his mind. Would Soubi even want to? He couldn't think of a reason why he would refuse him…unless he had Kio over. Or he had his own homework to do, or something. Now he was talking himself out of it.

Tugging the blanket down from his face he glanced over at the small phone sitting next to his clock. The only person he ever called or got calls from was Soubi. He chewed his bottom lip for a moment before reaching for the small device and grabbing it up in his hand. Should he call or send a message to his phone? He wasn't sure. If he called, he would be able to hear what was going on. Whether or not Kio was there, mainly.

Finally, he found himself dialing in the number and setting the phone to his ear. What if he didn't answer? He promised to always answer, but he broke that promise once. What if he was out doing something behind his back again? No, no…he didn't need to jump to conclusions because Soubi wouldn't do—

"Ritsuka? Is everything all right?" Soubi's voice had a slight edge to it and the boy in bed nearly laughed. Just because he sounded so distressed, probably because he was calling so late.

"Everything's fine…I just…can't sleep." He was almost embarrassed for admitting it and even calling. What if Soubi just laughed at him or something?

"Any reason why?" The other asked next, he was sitting in his apartment finishing up a painting. Natsuo and Yoji were eating at the table and were talking about heading to bed.

"I just…" Ritsuka didn't want to say that he was 'thinking' about anything. That would get questions from Soubi or something along those lines. "I don't know, I just can't…can you come over?" There was a pause on the other line and Ritsuka frowned, maybe Soubi didn't want to? "Nevermind, I'm sorry I asked, I'll just see you later."

"No. I'll be right there." Soubi said, and Ritsuka could tell that he was smiling. Apparently he was pleased that he had asked him for this favor.

Soubi had hung up the phone and Ritsuka shut his own and set it off to the side on his table and sighed. He looked down at himself, he was in his pajamas with little stars on them. They were childish, would Soubi make fun of him? No, he doubted it. He moved out of bed and went to the door, unlocking it and pushing back the curtain for Soubi to come in whenever he entered.

Going back to his bed, he sat on the edge of it and looked down at the floor. He was back into thought, and found himself smiling a little bit even. Soubi was coming to spend the night with him.

Oh wait. Soubi was coming to spend the night with him? That could be bad, what if Soubi had gotten the impression that he wanted to…well, have sex? Because he didn't! He was too young for that! What his mother say when she saw her son with no ears? And all his friends? And Sensei? Even Seimei hadn't lost his ears before he died…or disappeared, whatever it was.

Soon he heard the glass door slide open and then shut, and then the curtain shut. Glancing up, he saw Soubi and saw his smile. It was perfect…had he just thought that?

"Good evening, Ritsuka." He said softly and sat down next to him on the bed, he was putting his cigarettes into his pocket. It was obvious he had smoked on the way here, he smelled like it. For some reason, Ritsuka had never really minded the smell of it, he was so used to it by now.

Ritsuka didn't say anything and his thoughts frustrated him slightly as he stood up suddenly and stepped away.

"You shouldn't have came here!" He snapped and stood his ground, staring at Soubi.

Soubi just smirked a little and shook his head, standing up next to him. "You asked me to come, so here I am. Would you like me to leave now?" He had that tone, the tone that most people would call a smart-ass.

Ritsuka stared at him for the longest time before sighing and looking down at his bare feet. His thoughts had made him overreact, he really did want for Soubi to stay. Now he felt like slapping himself in the forehead for being so stupid.

"No…I want you to stay." He sighed and sat back down before scooting back to the wall, leaning back against it and his pillows on his bed.

"Good. Then I'll stay." Soubi slipped off his shoes and crawled up onto the bed next to the boy and watched him quietly. All he could do was just sit there and look at him, he was so adorable. Soubi was content just listening to him breath.

"So…um, you weren't busy when I called, were you?" The boy asked quietly as his cheeks turned a slight pink color. Because he hadn't wanted to bother him or anything, if he had been busy then he would feel bad.

"No, no I wasn't at all." Soubi kind of fibbed to him, but he wasn't going to miss the opportunity of spending the night with Ritsuka. That painting wasn't due until the end of the week, he had plenty of time to finish. And Natsuo and Yoji would be fine on their own, they always were.

"Don't lie to me! If you were busy then you should go back home and get it done!" Ritsuka sighed and looked away from him, it was adorable when he got all worked up.

"Ritsuka…" Soubi chuckled softly and leaned over to press a kiss to his cheek. "I love you."

The boy sat there and blushed slightly from the kiss and the words, he didn't really know what to say for a minute there. He wanted to ask 'Why do you always say that so much?', but he didn't He couldn't, at least not now or tonight. Ritsuka sighed and even gave off a tiny yawn, moving under the blankets and beckoning for Soubi to do the same, of course he followed the silent command in no time.

Ritsuka laid there in silence before turning his head to look at Soubi, who was lying on his side and smiling at him. The boy couldn't help but smile back at him and scoot closer against him until he was pressed up against his chest. The older male wrapped his arms around the boy's waist and held him close to keep him warm, in hopes the boy would sleep. But then again, he wanted him to be awake, so they could be awake together. They had never really done this before, it was new…maybe Ritsuka was finally giving in to all his affection and love for once?

"Are you getting sleepy at all?" Soubi whispered quietly to the other and the boy tried to hide the yawn he was producing. Of course he was sleepy now, and he didn't want to be. He wanted to be awake as well to cuddle against his fighter and be able to feel his warmth and remember it as best as he could. But he was afraid he was falling into a sleep already.

"Kind of…but I want to stay awake a little longer." Ritsuka whispered back and curling his fingers into Soubi's shirt slightly. He blinked over and over to keep his eyes open, tilting his head up to see the other's eyes.

"Alright." Soubi wasn't going to tell him that he needed the sleep, because he wanted this moment to last as long as possible as well. When he saw the younger one looking up at him he smiled and bent his head down to kiss him. He held it for as long as Ritsuka would allow it, which usually wasn't for very long.

However, Ritsuka was full of surprises tonight. He held out the kiss with him, even pressing a bit closer if that was even a possible thing at this point. Their lips meshed together quietly, eyes shut, feeling each other's warmth. Eventually Ritsuka got embarrassed and pulled their lips apart, blushing furiously and burying his face into the other's chest.

Soubi smiled and hugged him just as close as he had before, not asking anything else out of him. That was all that he needed for a long time. Ritsuka had gotten so comfortable and accustomed to the warmth radiating from Soubi that he had already fallen asleep. For a moment, Soubi was regretful, but he curled up with the boy and was asleep in no time as well.

In the morning Soubi and Ritsuka were still in bed together, except somehow Ritsuka was facing the opposite direction as before. His back against Soubi's chest, and the older man's arms still around his waist like before. Along with Soubi's face nuzzled up against Ritsuka's neck in his hair. Neither of them were awake, at least not yet.

After about ten minutes past seven, Soubi was stirred awake and blinked his eyes a few times, the smell of Ritsuka's hair feeling his nose. He instantly remembered last night and smiled, it had been perfect. He could get used to waking up in the same bed as Ritsuka, it was a nice feeling, if he could do this often, he'd have a lot of good days. Because seeing the boy when he was first awake would be the perfect beginning to any perfect day.

He knew Ritsuka had to go to school though, so he had to wake him and get out of the house before his mother knew of his being here at all. He sighed and leaned down to kiss the back of the boy's neck and then leaned close to his ear, placing a kiss there as well.

"Ritsuka…" He whispered, smiling a little. "You have to get up and get ready for school."

The boy had some protests, giving off a whine and rolling over to bury himself against Soubi. It was the most adorable thing the older man had seen in a while, besides when the Zero boys were cuddled up on each other in his bed all the time. That was pretty cute at times.

"I know, but you have to get up." He told him, rubbing his back gently and sitting up, forcing Ritsuka to sit up as well. The boy pouted at him with sleepy eyes before widening them slightly. Soubi was here and it was morning, what if his mother found out about this?!

"You have to go before she finds out!" He quickly moved out of bed and scurried around, tugging at Soubi's arm to get him out as fast as possible. The man chuckled slightly and stood up, pulling on his shoes and going towards the door at the younger boy's command. He stood there at the glass door and tugged Ritsuka to him, kissing him swiftly. A kiss so fast yet so sweet, that left the young one gasping for air slightly and blinking up at him.

"I'll see you this afternoon, I love you, Ritsuka."

That morning Ritsuka went to school with a smile on his face, which wasn't a very often thing for him. He had the perfect night, and he knew that they were going to happen much more often now.

So, how was it? Review it. :
