Day In - Reiya (Xaa Xaa)

(For Anon! ~JLS)

Reiya walks into the living room after waking up to see you laying on the couch. Your in an oversized hoodie and a pair of red boyshorts. Your hair is piled atop your head in a messy bun. Your eyes are fixed on the TV, Mean Girls playing quietly. Reiya walks around the couch, catching your attention. He gestures to his hair and you gesture to the ground in front of you. He sits down on the floor in front of the couch and you sit up, crossing your legs. You reach your hand forward and watch as he pulls a black hair tie off of his wrist before plopping it into your hand. You gently run your fingers through his hair, removing some knots before gathering it up and looping the hair tie around it. When his hair is secured to grab the sides and give a gentle tug, tightening the hair tie.

“Thank you,” Reiya says, leaning his head back onto your crossed legs.

“Not a problem, biscuit,” you state, kissing his nose.

Reiya chuckles and reaches up, squishing your cheeks between his hands.

“What do you have to do today?” you ask, though it’s slightly muffled due to your squished cheeks.

“Nothing. I want to stay in and eat junk food with my girl all day,” he states, letting go of your cheeks.

“I can do that,” you say, letting your body “melt” into the couch.

Reiya laughs at your position and stands up. Your eyes meet his bare torso straight on and you trace the slight line of muscle down to his hips, his sweatpants hanging low on them. You slowly run your eyes back up his body to his eyes, sticking your tongue out at his amused look. 

“What snacks do you want?” Reiya asks.

“All of them,” you say, stretching your arms out wide before letting them fall prone at your sides.

Reiya laughs again and makes his way into the kitchen. When he comes back into the kitchen you have sat up and scooted over, leaving room for him and the snacks. Reiya sits beside you, placing all of the snacks in the apartment onto your lap.

“Your feast,” he says, resting the arm nearest to you around your shoulders.

“You’ve done well. The tribe shall eat bountifully tonight!” you exclaim, grabbing a bag of shrimp chips and pulling them open.

Reiya rests a hand on his chest and nods, “It was an honor to hunt for you!” he says.

You laugh and hold a chip out to him. Reiya opens his mouth, and you plop the chip down onto his tongue. The two of you settle into the couch, ready for the longest movie marathon of your lives. Reiya snuggles up against you, burying his face in your neck as the credits roll for Mean Girls. You grab the remote and press it a couple times before the sounds of Spirited Away’s opening fill the room. Reiya turns his head so he can watch while still resting on you.

The two of you spend the entire day lazing around like this, your laps covered in snacks of all kinds and each other. You and Reiya stay snuggled up to each other, following the other around whenever one of you needed to get up for whatever reason. He even followed you into the bathroom when you left for a pee break. Considering he’d seen it all before, you let him and he sat on the floor and played on his phone, his head rested on your knee as you did your business. When you were done and your hands were washed, he picked you up and carried you back into your nest in the living room, and that’s where the two of you stayed until you had to get up again. Reiya’s need for you only grew the more he was away, so when days like today rolled around he was always at your side or resting against you in some way. Today he lay atop you, whining whenever you weren’t scratching his scalp or rubbing his stomach. You swear the boy could be a cat. 

While you watched your way through Miyazaki’s entire filmography, Reiya watched you. You were just as exciting as any movie, even on days when you were lazing around. Especially on days when you were just lazing around. You were always so interesting to him, like an abstract painting in a gallery. He could spend days looking at you and just when he thinks he has you figured out, he sees something he never saw before, and that throws his observations all out of wack. So instead of only looking at you periodically, he looks at you always. 

You of course haven’t realized this fact yet, deciding to look at and admire all of the little things that make up the world. All of that looking every where causes you to miss the most important “little” thing, the way Reiya looks at you. But Reiya doesn’t mind. You not acknowledging his looks, allows him to look at  you all the more.

And that is how your day is spent. You watching Miyazaki films and stuffing your face, and Reiya watching you and stuffing his face. Then again, this is how almost ALL of your lazy days end up.
