#𝐍𝐎𝐂𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐂 is a selective , independent , and mutuals - only SAKUMA RITSU as written by saturn ; 24 ; they / he . personals do not interact , you will be blocked .
saori cannot help but to chuckle at his actions. her knights always looked after her. the young woman reached a hand out to pat the top of his head. “ thank you, ritsu-kun, you can fall asleep, but please don’t lay your head down while i do this okay ? ” after those words, she plugged her hairdryer into the outlet closest to where he was seated. once plugged in and situated behind him, she turned on the blow-dryer and began her work.
she had the hairdryer in one hand, circle brush in the other. saori was careful not to tug too much, doing just enough to give some volume to ritsu’s hair, the way he liked it. after that, she turned off the blow-dryer. “ ritsu-kun did you want to do anything fun to your hair today or should we do what we usually do ? ”
the lightness of saori’s fingers through his hair brings ritsu’s eyelids fluttering closed without a second thought , but he’s sure to keep what she mentioned in mind . as she uses the brush against dark strands of hair , barely does his head fall along with each movement . a melody that he hums to himself is drowned out by the hairdryer .
light filters through opened lids and hits red hues with vibrance , causing him to squint slightly as he peeks at the group’s producer . ❝ mmm... sao - chan is so talented . just the usual today since you’re so busy . you can come give me a fun hairstyle some time when it’s just you and me , yeah ? ❞
it was before the knights performance. as they were now in the big 3 units ,this was a big deal so, saori was helping the knights members get ready. mainly assisting with hair and makeup. she had just finished helping leo with a few things, then, she moved on to ritsu. she carefully moved her materials to where he was. “ ritsu-kun, do you need help with your hair ? ” her eyes tracing along his features, in attempt to see if he had any sort of cosmetics on.
“ will you let me do some styling to your hair ? ” she decided that this would be a great way to bond with each member. so she has made it her mission to get closer. though, her and ritsu have history, having been friends since they were young it wasn’t 100% necessary. but she wanted to be fair. “ if you don’t help, don’t feel pressured, but i want to help ! ”
chin rests on palms of his hands as he lets out an exhausted sigh ; being awake during the day comes with its perks but also with its own consequences . ritsu opens his eyes and sends a warm smile to the group’s producer - a long time friend whose presence brings comfort in an otherwise stressful environment . she’s working hard alongside the five of them , as usual despite their pleas for her to take a break here and there .
❝ ahh~ sao - chan is doing too much again . ❞ contradicting his own words , he still leans close to her with eagerness . as he readjusts himself , he lets one hand fall loosely to his side , the other used to prop his head up - drowsiness obvious . ❝ but if sao - chan does it ... it’ll look nice . ❞

@kageira asked : mika, sidling up to ritsu's covers and folding over the edge of the bed, one arm splayed toward ritsu. the other arm is carrying a little teddy bear.
❝ can i get in, ritsu-kun ? ❞ <:
ritsu’s eyes are heavy with the exhaustion he’s carried through the day , never finding time to rest his head against his arms . he finds himself dozing off into a half slumber as soon as he walks through the door , head hitting pillow and limbs weakly clutching at the closest pillows . he presses the soft foam close to himself, scooting closer to eager mika with a soft giggle pressing past roseate lips . ❝ ah ? does mikarin want to share tonight as well ? ❞
his teasing tone comes naturally , easily falling off the tongue with a bite of sarcasm . he enjoys the banter and poking fun at his dorm mate , but it never lasts long before mika’s smile has his pale cheeks reddening in response . warmth radiates from the other almost in waves and wraps ritsu in a familiar comfort that has him scooting himself even closer , reaching an arm out from under heavy blankets to grip at mika’s own . a tug pulls him closer with a nod of his own head . ❝ come on, come on. mikarin is always welcome . ❞
