☮ = waking them up after a nightmare. Nightmares were a thing he was familiar with. Whether it was in dreams or it was in person, he'd been through them, he had them. Lately though, they seemed to be happening less and less. He didn't know why. Whether it was the blond's presence and constant security in his life now or if was something to do with being on the islands for months; with no signs of the Organization; he didn't know. They just stopped, at least when the blond was around. He could sleep, for the first time in a long while. He wasn't waking up in the middle of the night with the fear that Ansem had taken control of his body again and used it to kill his friends, to destroy his home and ruin countless of others lives; while shrouded in darkness.He could rest easy here, be normal, at least for a while. But, even so, he hadn't been prepared to be waken up by his lover's worried shouts as said blond shook him awake. He startled awake with a shout, pushing the blond away before he knew what he was doing. Glancing around himself, he took notice of his things spread about the floor of his new room, the few boxes of his things set off in the corner. It was okay, he was fine. His friends, while not here, were okay, he already knew. But it didn't stop the fear the sometimes gripped him.“I'm sorry..”he muttered, curling into himself, pulling at his hair somewhat, trying to catch his breath, trying to calm himself, “I'm sorry, I- I didn't mean to wake you. I-..it was a nightmare, I don't remember it now but..I'm sorry,” he said, giving the blond a helpless look at a loss of what to do.

☾ = being found shirtless .Maybe he should have waited for the following day to make his way over to Naruto's for the weekend, rather than heading straight there once his shift at the General Store ended on Friday night. At least that's what he thought as he used his hand to cover another yawn as he blearily starred out the window across him. Too late for that though, he was already at his stop. Waiting for the bus to stop, he stood and made his way to the doors, climbing out after they opened. Turning to his left he walked the last few blocks left to his lover's home. The sooner he got there the sooner he may be able to sleep and see the blond. Once at the apartment he walk in, as he'd been instructed to do, the blond having told him he'd leave the door open for him. Setting his book bag down on the couch he called out for the blond, "Naruto?"When no response came he walked further into the apartment, heading in the direction of the blond's room, if anything the blond would be sleeping. It's here he found his lover, sprawled out and asleep, his snores filling the room, just as he'd thought. With a sigh he turned on the light and made his way over to the bed, not faced at the others state of undress. He'd long since learned the blond tended to sleep mostly naked. That of course didn't mean he didn't look, when he was given the chance. What kind of lover would he be if he didn't admire his partner's physique every once in a while or all the time? It was as he was looking that he spotted the blond's still wet skin and hair, if course the blond fell asleep right after his shower. Picking up one of the discarded pillows the blond had kicked of the bed sometime during his sleep he threw it on the bed, he too moving onto the bed opposite the blond. Once in place, he leaned over the blond somewhat once satisfied with his spot, he began pinching and pulling at the blond's cheeks to wake him.“What have I told you about falling asleep with your hair still wet?” He said, continuing his ministrations even as Naruto grabbed at his offending hands to stop him, “you're gonna get sick one of these days.”

❤ = Kissing Them.It didn't take them long for them to figure out a routine or for them to fall into it. Either he'd be the one spending the weekend at the blond's or it be the blond spending his weekends at Riku's. Sometimes they did nothing, stayed in, ordered some kind of take out (mostly when the silver haired male refused to eat ramen again) and watched some sort of movie or talked about whatever caught their fancy at any given time. Other days they'd go out, on what Riku had started mentally calling dates, and do whatever happened to catch their curiosity. Or sometimes, like tonight, they'd stay in, no take out was ordered, the TV wasn't on and they weren't talking, as rare as these moments were between them, especially when the blond was concerned. But it was a comfortable silence, one neither of them felt the need to fill, they just basked in the other being near. Both seemingly entertained with their own little tasks, Riku playing some game on his phone while Naruto dozed somewhat.Sometimes the blond liked to surprise him, spring little things on him that still took him by surprise for whatever reason. Whether it was grabbing his hand while they were out of their apartments or randomly showing up throughout the week, claiming to of been bored and having missed the silver haired teen. Not that Riku minded, if anything he welcomed the little gestures. So of course it came as no surprise when Naruto grabbed the phone from Riku's hands, startling the younger male, having thought the blond had fallen asleep minutes ago. “Hey! I was in the middle of-!” He said, protesting the blond's sudden need to take his phone and toss it to the end of the bed they'd decided to camp out in for the night; only for his words to become muffled as the blond wasted no time in kissing Riku. Shocked, he stared at the blond with wide eyes, at a loss of what do for the moment. Oh.Seconds later, he let his eyes close, the surprise wearing of as he buried his own hands in the blond's messy hair, gripping and pulling at the strands gently as he pulled the blond closer. Kissing Naruto was way better than some stupid game anyways.

'Hey, so I'm at your place. Where are you?'

He cringed, rolling his eyes at his own cheesy comment that could perhaps be taken a multitude of ways, not all of them innocent. He felt like a complete fool, but his discomfort took a back seat in lieu of caring for the other.
