3:05 AM.
That is the time the clock read when Rika was finally able to come back to the comfort of your shared home. You were already fast asleep, she could tell because all of the lights were off and your bedroom door was shut.
You can never sleep with the door open.
Rika carefully takes off her shoes, setting them by the door as she takes careful steps towards the bedroom. She walks silently, not wanting to make even the smallest sound that could wake you up and disturb your precious sleep.
She carefully opens the bedroom door, slow enough to make sure it does not creak as it opens. Once she has successfully slipped into the room, she slides the door back shut, wincing as it clicks into place.
Rika glances back, a soft smile on her face when she sees you curled up under the covers with her pillow. You are hugging the pillow to your chest, blankets cocooned around you the way Rika always tucks you into bed before you both fall asleep together. Her heart warms at the sight and she walks over to you, brushing your hair away from your face lovingly.
She leans down, pressing a soft kiss to your forehead and she pulls back slightly when you stir.
Rika frowns a bit when your eyes crack open before closing again and she watches as you try and rub the sleep out of them.
“Sorry I woke you angel,” Rika murmurs softly and presses another kiss to your forehead, her heart pounding in her chest when you reach for her to pull her into bed with you.
“Rika… come to bed its late,” you whine softly, finally managing to open your eyes a bit as you gaze up at your girlfriend.
She chuckles and gently takes your hand, pressing a kiss to the back of it before holding it against her cheek.
“Let me change first baby and then we can sleep mmk?”
You nod drowsily in response, snuggling back up against Rika’s pillow as she pulls away to change. Your gaze is follows her as she changes quickly, pulling off her work clothes.
Rika can practically feel your gaze and she glances back at you and winks as she pulls off her shirt after fully unbuttoning it.
“Like what you see baby?” She teases, laughing softly when you grumble in response before looking away from her. She knows you well enough to know that your face is heating up right now, warmth crawling up the back of your neck.
“Shut up Rika. Just hurry,” you huff as you glance back at her.
“As you wish sweetheart.”
Rika finishes changing quickly, choosing to pull on a loose t-shirt and sweatpants before she slides into bed with you. Her fingers intertwine with your own as she tugs you against her chest. She presses a soft kiss to your lips as her arms circle around you back and she holds you close as you nuzzle your face into the crook of her neck.
Rika gently rubs your back and presses a kiss to the top of your head as you both get comfortable, legs tangles together. She adjusts the covers just like how she always does, tucking you both in and wrapping you up in the covers.
She sighs contently as she hugs you close, squeezing your body against her chest and she can hear your breaths getting softer.
Rika can hardly catch what you mumble against her neck.
“I love you, Rika.”
You are already asleep by the time Rika can respond to your affectionate words.
“I love you too baby, have sweet dreams for me my angel.”
