Not that tired

Season 3 - after internationals

"Come on, Ri, we've landed now," James tells his girlfriend as her head rested on his shoulder while they were sat on the plane. Everyone was beginning to get their suitcases from out of the cubbies, but Riley refused to remove her arms from being tightly wrapped around his torso. He sighs, looking down at her with the thought of how beautiful she looked in her sleep clouding his mind.

"Yo, we need to get off, what are you-" West begins to say, turning around to face James, but the moment his friend gives him a harsh death glare and signals down to the sleeping blonde whilst putting a finger over his lips, he stops mid-sentence, getting the idea.

"She's sleeping, man," James scolds his close friend, who then chooses to mind his business and take his suitcase out of the cabinet.

"Why don't you just wake her up?" Eldon asks as he was sat a row behind the couple. 

Riley groans a little, only to shuffle up closer to her lover and bury her head deeper into his chest, gripping at his t-shirt and keeping him held close to her. By now, half the team were ready to get off the plane, standing in line down the aisle, but Riley and James remained sat down. 

"James, you need to wake her up, bro," Eldon persists. "Otherwise the plane's gonna fly to another country with the two of you." James rolls his eyes at his best friend's stupidity. He tries to softly detach his girlfriend's limbs from around his body, but sighs as she remains relentless and only grips onto him harder.

"I know you're sleepy, baby, but I need to stand up to get our suitcases," he whispers into her ear softly. She partially listens and loosens her grip on him, allowing him to get up. He kisses the top of her head lightly as he gets out from their row to reach for their belongings. 

As soon as he sets them down on the floor, he taps Riley gently on the shoulder and watches as her eyes shortly flutter open. "Come on, babe, as soon as we get back to mine, you can sleep as much as you want," he tells her, putting his hand out for her to take. She smiles at him softly and grabs hold of his palm before leaning her head on his shoulder as he wraps an arm around her waist once she stands up.

"Aw, you guys are so cute," Thalia says from where she was stood beside Eldon.

"You call it cute, I call it sickening. I walked in on the two of them last night and now I can't un-see it," Noah says all of a sudden, causing the rest of A-Troupe to laugh. All Riley does, however, is smirk slightly before closing her eyes as she waits for everyone to move down and get off the plane.

"You okay?" James asks her softly. She smiles and nods, reopening her eyes and then holding her suitcase to begin wheeling it down as they begin to walk off. James follows along behind her, wheeling his own hand luggage, but once they get outside, his free hand becomes wrapped around her waist once again. It was night out, and with the temperature being cold once again as they had retreated back to Canada, Riley raised her shoulders upwards and cuddled up close to him. He smiles down at her, kisses her forehead, and rubs the girl's arm up and down while they walk towards the baggage collection.

"My mom texted me. She should be here in about ten or so minutes to pick us up," he recalls.

"Okay," Riley replies, her voice soft and light, which James found completely adorable. 

After a couple of minutes of waiting by the conveyor belt to seek their luggage, James and Riley eventually retrieved all of their things but had to wait for their team-mates to receive their own. As his eyes land on a chair a couple of metres away from where A-Troupe were standing, James takes Riley's hand and leads her over to it before sitting down and pulling her down to sit on top of his lap. Almost immediately, she recoils back into his arms and nuzzles her head into his neck, making him smile down at her as he watched her eyes close once again.

After about a one-hour car journey to get back home to James's house, the pair had left their bags piled in his bedroom as they were too tired to do anything. They had changed into much more comfier clothes; Riley wearing shorts and a loose grey long-sleeved nightwear crop top, whilst James remained in joggers and a sleeveless t-shirt. 

Prior to brushing her teeth, Riley re-enters the bedroom after leaving the bathroom and smiles when she sees her boyfriend laying on the bed, facing her. She grins slightly and approaches him, getting onto the bed one leg at a time before crawling up so that she was laying on top of him. She wraps her arms around his neck and then begins to kiss his lips softly. He kisses back one or two times, but as she begins to deepen it and tries to gain entrance into his mouth, he pulls back and smirks at her. He takes her hand from around his neck so that he was holding it instead as he looked into her round, light brown eyes.

"I thought you were tired, Riles," he questions, rubbing one hand over her back gently.

"I'm not that tired," she says, rolling her eyes to stress her use of exaggeration. She leans down to try and kiss him again, but he shakes his head at her and rolls the two of them over so that he now had full dominance. And once he does so, it just so happens to be that she yawns faintly, causing him to chuckle as he kisses her on the nose.

"Yes you are," he says back. "Get some sleep, angel. You need it." He rolls over again so that he was beside her instead and then he stretches his arm out to turn his lamp off, leaving them both in complete darkness. The girl sighs, knowing he was right, and then she rolls onto her side as well before curling up close to him as they worm their bodies under the covers. 

"Goodnight, then," she whispers quietly. He smiles, wrapping an arm around her body.

"Night, baby. I love you," he says, kissing her forehead.

"I love you too."
