"Yoshiko... I wanna snuggle!"

"Jeez, Riko. Needy tonight, aren't we?" Yoshiko pretended to act stubborn, but a smile found its way onto her face.

"Please? I'm sad, make me happy." Riko pouted.

He was not having a very good day. As he still hadn't gotten on testosterone yet, he unfortunately still had to deal with that time of the month. He was not happy.

Riko had spent the entire day curled up on his bed. He had bad cramps. He didn't want to get out of bed. Unfortunately, Yoshiko had work so she wasn't able to be around until night.

"I know, Riko..." Yoshiko took a seat on the bed, "We can cuddle as much as you want."

"Yay!" Riko smiled happily as he immediately locked Yoshiko into a hug.

Yoshiko chuckled as she pat him on his head. Riko was content just like how they were. Yoshiko pulled him closer. They sat in silence for a while. Eventually, Yoshiko couldn't take the silence and decided to turn on the TV.

"How was work?" Riko asked.

"It was okay." Yoshiko shrugged, "Nothing new."

"I'm glad I didn't have work today." Riko said.

"I bet you are." Yoshiko nodded, "Do you need anything? I can get it."

"Just wanna snuggle." Riko mumbled as he buried his face into Yoshiko's shirt.

"Alright. Anything for you." Yoshiko smiled and started brushing his hair.

"I love you." Riko looked up at Yoshiko.

"And I love you too, silly." Yoshiko placed a kiss on his forehead.

Riko smiled as he leaned up and returned the kiss. They settled back down into a comfortable position. They watched the TV in silence.

"Um... can you get some medicine?" Riko asked after a while.

"Sure. I'll be right back." Yoshiko nodded and got out of the bed.

Riko was impatient. He didn't like having to give up snuggle time. Unfortunately, his cramps were pretty bad. He couldn't stand the pain any longer. Riko sighed as he drummed his fingers against his legs.

Yoshiko came back in the room a few minutes later. She had a glass of water and some pills. She handed them to Riko. Riko took the pills. He set the water down on his end table.

"Back to snuggling." Riko demanded as he curled up against Yoshiko's side again.

"Someone really wants to snuggle today, don't they?" Yoshiko bopped Riko on the nose.

"I don't see you complaining." Riko retorted.

Yoshiko chuckled, "Who said I had a problem?"

They fell back into silence. They were once again comfortable settled beside each other. Yoshiko had an arm around Riko's neck. Riko was resting his head against Yoshiko's shoulder. They were watching TV.

Riko would occasionally snuggle closer. Yoshiko would respond by kissing his head. Riko took advantage of that and did it a few times. Yoshiko caught on before long and refused. Riko pouted.

"So needy, aren't we?" Yoshiko rolled her eyes.

"Hmpf." Riko crossed his arms.

"Come here. I'll give you as many kisses as you want, okay?" Yoshiko held out her arms.

Riko nodded and quickly filled the gap. Yoshiko smiled as she started to kiss him all over his face. Both of them had bright smiled plastered on their faces.

DIVIDER--

Yoshiko blinked as she realized the time. It was almost midnight.

"Riko?" Yoshiko looked over at him.

Riko was asleep. He had a content smile on his face. At some point he had ended up hugging Yoshiko's arm. Yoshiko smiled as she carefully removed her arm. Riko groaned in complaint, but stayed asleep.

Yoshiko rolled her eyes fondly at him. She laid him down on the bed and then pulled the covers over the both of them. Riko immediately was snuggling up to her again. Yoshiko pulled him close.

"Goodnight, Riko." Yoshiko whispered as she closed her eyes, "Sleep tight, my prince."
