Our present

"Babe?"

"Yes"

"Do you know where the cookies are?"

"Ryu it's 2am"

"Yeah but I'm hungry for them" i roll my eyes thqrough closed lids.

"Go check in the fridge" I feel him ruffle under the covers as he gets up to leave to the kitchen but now it has me awake. I had an interview with a client tomorrow on his view of how he wanted to decorate his apartment, Ron. He was hoping to propose to his girlfriend when they see their home.

I'd needed to go over my questions and advice soon before tomorrow, marking the end of his thinking so I could get the apartment done. I just needed a few sources and his budget to call in the guys and gst started shopping.

I get up and head to the library in the house, turn on the light that gives the room a nice warm feel and take a seat at my desk to get started.

Suprising a good half an hour goes by and Ryu walks into the library with a frown on his lips but when our eyes meet, they light up. He takes a seat on the large windowsill that's padded with cushions as he eats the cookies he'd found. Weirdly for the time he spent gone it looks like he's only eaten 4.

"Did I wake you?" He asks me staring at the cookie in hand

"What do you mean?"

"Well I woke you up completely forgetting that its hard for you to get back to sleep"

"Then yes"

"I'm sorry" he sighs with a dampened face.

"I'll forgive you if you tell me what's wrong" his expression is odd. Its sour. Ryu never makes a sour face unless its really bad.

"An old friend hit me up earlier and two days ago we met up but the interaction didn't go the way I thought. They wanna meet up again" usually he's more direct instead of this. He says friend but doesn't say their name. He says something happened when they met but he doesn't say exactly what it is. It's a few things it could be. Someone from his home or his life back in Brooklyn. So I don't press further since the lines on his face pinch and he fidgets with the cookie in hand. But who the fuck calls some at 3am?

"You're not going back to bed?" I ask him as I see him start to shift in his seat to get comfortable. He usually sleeps off his worries to deal with them when he's in a better space.

"No. I'll wait here with you" I smile at the thought of his gesture.

"You sure? I could take a while?"

"Yeah I'm sure" he finally smiles and feel the light of the sun past through the room again and into my heart.

"Okay then. But no distractions" he nods, gets up to grab a book and sits back down.

<<<<☆>>>>

By the time I finish editing and finalizing everything its 4am and I need to wake up at 6. I shut my laptop off and stand, walking over to the windowsill to see the closed eyes of a beautiful man. Sleeping peaceful where he is.

I'd take him to bed but he would be confused how I carried him there alone. If it comes to be that him and I get married then I might tell him about Spider-Woman. Though for now she's gone but Spider-Man isnt so there's no need.

I pull out my phone and walk on auto pilot till I find myself in my most comfortable, upside-down position on the ceiling. I guess old habits never truly die.

{Yo Kai! How's the job???]

5 minutes later he sends me a picture of the spot I used to sit on the bell tower ledge.

[Life is awesome man. Remember last week I told you that Dante might be moving? Turns out he applied to the same school as mine!}
[Being Spider-Man has been so easy. I still dont get why you wanted me to be mentally prepared for the job}

Right....the hard part was still to come.....I should visit uncle (u/n) one last time

{Just lookin out for you just incase]
{I told you! If faith brings you two back in anyway then the rest should fall into place]

[When'd you get so wise and poetic and shit? I know Ryu ain't all about poetry like that}

The answer to his question?it was my museum friend.

Entirely I was actually looking forward to my meet up with the mysterious man. We had been meeting up at the same museum for a good 3 weeks now. Oncw or twice every week to just talk. And talk. And talk. And talk untIll our heads were empty with nothing and we would walk in comfortable silence for the rest of evening till I needed to leave. Though I should know better since I didn't know him, I could take care of myself. I wasn't a normal human after all and he was starting to become more than just a stranger.

[Nah just a new friend}
[Got me to open up more about life in words}

{....whatever they're doing it's working]
{I'll send pictures when Dante arrives in 3
days]

I send a barf emoji and smile. I walk down from the ceiling and get a blanket from another room to come back and set it down on Ryu's sleeping form.

Kissing his forhead goodnight and preparing more of his favorite cookies till morning sun.

<<<<☆>>>>

I walk into the house with a smile to my face. I got the client! Though i have been expectationally good at my job I have never been in a situation where the man knew exact what he wanted. Usually whenever I interview them he are okay with whatever I offer them till the whole thing get thrown off and the whole design looks wack. This time he knew exactly what to put in, the colors and lighting. All I needed to do was get it done. I'd called up the builders and plan to shop online for all the items.

I drop my keys on the counter and my eyes lock onto a nice plate of lunch set on the kitchen counter from here. I walk up to it to find a note underneath.

'Went in for work but prepared you something before I left. Thanks for your love blanket'

He was goofy by referring it as that but I loved the man nonetheless for his gratitude.

I pick up the plate and set my heels at the door to pick off on the couch to watch TV before he came by.

I was lucky to have him, that was for sure
