RuiKasa Week | Project Sekai

~Sing Me To Sleep~

Rui mindlessly tapped on his keyboard, staring at the script he was currently editing on the monitor.

Though, he could barely keep his eyes open while he sat there. And boy, was he exhausted.

Day 7: Free day!!

I declare it's time for more eepy Rui content

The title is a lie, there's no singing. I just couldn't think of a better name XD

Rui mindlessly tapped on his keyboard, staring at the script he was currently editing on the monitor.

Half finished projects were strewn across his desk, loose screws and metal pieces waiting for him to put together into his latest invention.

Though, he could barely keep his eyes open while he sat there. And boy, was he exhausted.

He'd been half asleep all day, only getting a handful of hours worth of sleep in the last... uh, few days.

Those few hours were when he'd cuddled in Tsukasa's lap on the school roof during lunch, and not when he was home...

Though it was certainly more restful than if he'd slept at home, despite how little he'd actually rested!

But now, no matter how hard Rui tried, he couldn't sleep.

He'd promised his troupe-mates beforehand that he'd actually take the day off and rest... but... well, he couldn't keep that promise if he couldn't get to sleep.

Not even his sleep meds helped. He took them before dinner... which was several hours ago by now. But here he is, still awake. Well, barely awake, but he still can't sleep, nonetheless.

With a sigh, Rui grabbed his mouse, clicking on Tsukasa's icon in their chat window to start a call. He blinked again, staring at the screen, waiting for the call to go through.

"Rui?" Tsukasa answered almost immediately.

What a wonderful voice...

"Hi, Kasa-kun..." Rui mumbled.

"... You were supposed to take the day off from practice to sleep! Why are you awake?!?!"

"Can't sleep, Kasa-kun..."

"You're practically falling asleep right now! Just... ugh, turn your camera on-"

Tsukasa's beautiful face showed up on the screen as Rui clicked on the camera icon, his own face showing up in the corner a moment later.

Rui couldn't help the stupid, sleepy smile that grew the moment he saw his Star, or the happy sigh he let out the moment after.

Tsukasa stared at him incredulously, his brows furrowed.

"You're not even trying to sleep!! Go lay down!!!"

Rui's smile fell as he let out a pathetic whine, draping himself across his desk.

"I was trying! I took my meds and everything... I just can't sleep, Kasa-kun..." He pouted, burying his face in his arms.

"Then. Go. Lay. Down-!! Ow!"

The taller lifted his head, watching Tsukasa turn to pick up a thimble and stick it over his fingertip, then pull the needle through the fabric as far as the string would allow it.
