Warnings: Fluff. Yay.

Er…done in a world where Axel and Riku apparently don't sleep in the same bed. Yeaaah. (Unheard of...Rosa says.)
…I wish. Really. And this AxelRiku phase is haunting my brain. Back to the LeonRiku-ness soon, I hope.

Lullaby, and Goodnight
In which Axel cannot sleep, and Riku croons in his ear.
-
Riku woke up to soft, stubborn red hair poking his face. Eyelids opened a crack, barely seeing the crimson in the darkness of his room.
"…Axel?"
"Hm?"
The situation was weird enough for his brain to force himself a bit more awake. "…Why are you in my bed?"
Axel moved a little, black cotton-clad legs nearly falling off the edge of the one-person bed. His hand arched up to meet Riku's neck. Green eyes framed by a sharp face were next to his own on the pillow.
"…couldn't sleep."
"Oh." Riku couldn't think of anything else besides that, his mind still blurry from lack of sleep. "…how come?"
Axel mumbled something into the blanket.
"What?"
"Mmightmare." Another mumble.
"Oh, nightmare?" Riku asked, tongue twisting around the word. It was almost foreign, Riku thought hazily, glancing at his clock.
He felt more than heard Axel's reply. There was a nod that pushed spiky hair against his hand that he hadn't realized was there.
"…What, you want me to sing for you?" Riku asked softly, breath hitting black cotton.
Axel shrugged a movement that twitched the bed. "Sure."
Riku glanced up, wondering if the other had noted his sarcasm.
The older teen turned again, inching upwards til red hair layered over silver.
Axel ended up a little higher on the bed than he himself was, and Riku found his head nestled quite comfortably into the crook of Axel's neck.
The weight on his bed was almost reassuring. And it was cool enough for him not to mind the heat.
Riku closed his eyes again, the situation's emergency leaving him.
"Hey hey, aren't you going to sing to me?" Axel asked. The redhead's neck was rumbling as he was talked, Riku couldn't help but notice.
"…You want me to sing to you?"
"If it'll help make those stupid dancing guitars go away…"
Riku snorted, a cross between a laugh and air going down the wrong pipe. He didn't even want to know what Axel dreamed of.
There was silence for a while, and Axel was just about to drift to sleep when Riku broke the quiet with his voice.
"Rock-a-bye Axel, in the tree top, when the wind blows…"
"Shut up," Axel grumbled, his voice obviously layered with drowsiness. "I didn't mean it."
Riku grinned again, a thought coming to his head.
"Hush little pyro, please don't cry. Riku's gonna sing you a lullaby…" Riku couldn't help but breathe out mischievously.
He winced when Axel leaned down and bit his shoulder.

-
…Short and sweet. Yay.

In the next few, Axel and Riku kick the can, go stargazing, fold dumplings, and debate about opposite days. And we wander the ways to get rid of hiccups.
All these come in no particular order, of course.
