Silver's Effect

Koyuki

it didnt take long for Ryoma to come back with a tray containing an electric teapot and two cups in his hands.

setting the electric pot down on his desk he plugged it in to keep the tea warm before setting our cups down as well then flipped the tray over and plopped down onto his bed with my finished worksheets and a pencil.

using the upside-down tray as a desk he started to correct my work with the pencil almost lazily while laying on his stomach.

unable to help myself I kept glancing over at him, the image of his wet bangs falling into his hazel eyes searing itself into my mind's eye until he looked up and met my gaze with an amused smirk.

thinking quickly I found some of my thoughts tumbling out of my mouth without my permission "you're not wearing your hat."

Ryoma ran his fingers through the wet strands as he looked back at the paper and said in his usual quiet voice "I leave it in the bathroom at night so I know where it is in the morning."

I smirked as I leaned back in the seat a bit while saying "I almost expected you to leave it on your nightstand or something like someone who wears glasses."

irritation flitted across his face but he said nothing as his gaze bounced around on the page before him before he wrote a few more things lightly so it would erase easier.

his gaze fell on me again and I looked back up from my page to see him smiling at me as he let his chin rest in his hand. 

"come here yuki," he called softly.

remembering the warmth of being wrapped in his arms just a moment ago made my face turn light pink, but I stood up and walked over to the bed with a handful of worksheets anyway.

plopping down on my stomach in a similar position to him I smiled as he moved the pages he was working on over so I had room as well.

our sides were lightly pressed against each other, making every breath Ryoma took very apparent to me as he sighed and began to explain a chemistry problem I had apparently missed.

instead of listening though I found myself watching the way his eyes seemed to sharpen in concentration as he looked for any other mistakes I had made, the way he twisted his lips when pronouncing certain words, the way he brushed his still damp bangs out of his eyes with the tips of his fingers.

slowly the corners of his lips tilted up in a smirk as he met my unfocused gaze and asked: "Are you even paying attention?"

I blinked, pulling myself out of my head before letting out a small scoff as I said indignantly "of course I am!"

his smirk widened as he leaned closer to me, his hazel eyes sparkling mischievously as he said in a teasing tone "prove it."

his side was pressed into mine once again, almost exactly like when we were at the burger place when Momo had pushed me into him at first except that this time he was the one initiating contact.

my thoughts seemed too scattered now to properly put a single sentence together, let alone to actually try to remember what he said, instead I found myself leaning closer to him as my thoughts once again tumbled from my lips.

"I love your eyes."

amusement filled the hazel orbs staring almost playfully at me as he leaned forward more, his nose practically touching mine as his minty breath washed over my face.

his voice was low, almost a whisper as he said teasingly "seems you weren't."

my face exploded into color and he chuckled as he turned on his side facing me propping his head upon his arm while his free one fell lightly across my lower back.

"I suppose we have done enough for tonight if you're tired, seeing as your having trouble concentrating and all," he said as his fingers began to absently play with a loose string on the back of my t-shirt.

 I looked down at the now four worksheets that had been finished and looked back to him with a small nod as I said: "Yeah, I don't think I can handle any more critical thinking tonight."

sitting up a bit he grabbed the tray and slid it on top of his desk before leaning over me, his chest pressing against my back as he unplugged the tea kettle and grabbed the remote to his television.

he then shifted to his pillow and lifted his blanket, sliding underneath it and clicked the button to turn it in.

I shifted hesitantly into a sitting position before Ryoma grabbed my arm with an amused smirk and pulled me to the top of his bed along with him.

smiling I slipped under his covers and leaned back against the headboard, smirking when adult swim caught my attention.

he noticed and left it on that channel before setting his remote down and turning onto his side facing me with a yawn.

"I'm going to sleep," he said, his hazel eyes still shining with mischief as he wrapped his arms around my waist and let his head rest on my stomach with a smirk up at me that made my heart start to pound before he closed them and snuggled his face into my abdominal muscles.

I blushed before letting my left hand rest on his arm, my right on his head.

"you're like a cat when your sleepy," I softly called to him, an adoring smile matching my voice.

he hummed to me as he shifted his head a bit and barely murmured out, sounding tired: "I like being with you."

a warm feeling filled me as I let my fingers thread through his hair, earning a satisfied sigh from him as I said in a whisper "I like being with you too Ryo."

I would have wondered if he was already asleep if not for his arms tightening around me and his small smile growing ever so slightly.
