Click. Click click.

Every single light was off in that apartment, except for one: The light being emitted by the computer screen.

Tired eyes were scanning through everything that showed up on that screen, the soft hum of the computer running being one of the few things filling the silence. The scrolling and clicking of the mouse, along with the shuffle of sliding it, were the only other sounds that added to that.

Reigen didn't even pay attention to the time. All he was focused on was reading up on some complaints people published.

There was someone laying in his bed, only a few feet away, who was bundled up in the blankets and wide awake. He could hear the basic noises coming from the mouse and computer.

Reigen yawned and clicked something else, when a sudden voice spoke up. The voice was a bit cracked yet gentle, soothingly deeper than his own.

"Sir? What time is it? You should be sleeping-"

Reigen blinked and glanced at the bottom right corner of the screen, "Uhh- It's not that late. Go back to sleep, Serizawa."

"I never did fall asleep, sir... You haven't been over here this whole time, and I just haven't been able to sleep that much. I did sleep for about an hour or two. But... you're over there, and I would love to have you over here..."

"That's just you talking. You need sleep."

"N-not to be rude," Serizawa stood up and walked over to the desk and pointed at the time, "but- it's 4:32... Four in the morning. A-almost five, and you haven't slept any."

"I'm fine, Serizawa. You should try getting some sleep anyway."

Serizawa frowned a bit and really didn't want to protest. At the same time, he wanted what was best for this man who was so precious to him.

Setting his hands on the ginger's shoulders, he tried again.

"Is it... More than you being stubborn? Are you not able to sleep? I could cut your computer off for you and you can come with me."

Reigen simply waved a hand, "No need. I'll just take a nap or something later."

"Sir, I know how you are when you're up for too long... You're able to keep it together for a while... B-but- Oh! Do you remember that story you told me?"

"Which one?" Reigen raised an eyebrow.

"Th... there was this one time where you played video games for many nights in a row just to beat this one player. You were absolutely drained after that."

"Right, right, I remember... Why does that matter right now?"

"Let me take you to bed. I'll help you sleep. You know that you can't stay up all night-" Serizawa took a step back and slid his hands away. "N-not that I'm saying you couldn't, sir!! I-I just hope you'll listen. I don't want to be by myself the entire night either..." He looked down and fidgeted with his hands a bit. "I promise that I can cuddle you-"

"Extra cuddles? With me as the little spoon?"

"If that's what you want, sir."

"Deal. And- drop the formalities, Serizawa. We're in my apartment right now. Not at work."

"O-okay, si- Reigen."

Reigen shut down his computer and yawned, barely able to keep his eyes open even for that.

Serizawa smiled softly and watched as the shorter man lazily held up his arms, eyes slowly falling closed. He went around to Reigen's front and picked him up, taking him to bed and laying him down. He then cautiously climbed into bed next to Reigen, pulling the con artist into a close embrace with a bit of nervous hesitation.

Reigen appreciated the warmth and returned the embrace with a smile. He didn't need to have his eyes open to know that his head was currently resting near Serizawa's chest- That familiar heartbeat and the warm comfort were things he had etched into his memory.

The guy really was tired. Him and Serizawa both were already in comfortable clothes for bed, but Reigen was fighting sleep until he had to be escorted to the place in which he was guaranteed to get the affection he so loved to have: Right there in his Seri's arms.
