Rantaro was sitting on his bed that he and his partner shared. He was reading one of the mystery novels he got for Shuichi on his birthday, but since Shuichi finished it the day of, he decided it was best to read then be on the phone. He got to the third chapter when his partner walked in. "Hello dear," Rantaro said as Shuichi hopped onto the bed. "Hello, I'm tired," Shuichi says before yawning. "Were you up late last night?" Rantaro asked. "You should really start going to sleep a little earlier, it's not good for you." Shuichi frowned at the thought that Rantaro out of all people was telling him this, but he decided he should listen to his partner or he would never shut up about it.
"Are you reading one of my mystery novels?" Shuichi asked curiously. "Yeah, I hope that's okay with you," Rantaro said placing a bookmark in between the pages of the book and lightly closing the book. "Yeah I'm okay with it, just never thought you were into that stuff I guess." They were both now curled up next to each other underneath the sheets, Rantaro lightly playing with Shuichi's hair as Shuichi put his arm around Rantaro's waist. The two had just finished dinner, and it was around 8 a'clock. It was a Friday night meaning neither of them had work the next day, but both still went to bed around the same time to not mess up their sleep schedules. Especially since Shuichi already has problems sleeping and Rantaro is a light sleeper.
Shuichi used to have nightmares and barely sleep back in highschool, when Shuichi's mental health was at it's worst. Rantaro remembers the nights when he had to call Shuichi and talk a knife out of his hands. It still hurts him that the love of his life was still somewhat in that pain, but ever since they got married and Shuichi got the right treatment he had been getting better day by day. He was getting the right therapy and was getting help by his friends and Rantaro.
Yet Rantaro still couldn't understand fully why Shuichi felt this way. After all of these years of trying and trying, failing and having to start at the bottom again. He was still feeling this pain, and even Rantaro couldn't help. A loud sigh came out of Shuichi's mouth, "I'm going to go take a shower," he slowly arisen from the bed and started walking away. "Can I join?" Rantaro said jokingly. Shuichi turned around to look at his husband and laughed slightly, "In your dreams." "You act like I've never seen you naked," Rantaro says. "If you're really that mad, then you can't start the water for me, that's it." "Fair enough, I'll take it," Rantaro said getting up.
They both went into the bathroom and Rantaro turned on the water and left and Shuichi took a shower. (wow you thought shit was bout to go down-) After he finished he cuddled with his husband and they both fell asleep curled up together. 💕✨#goals
