Date Seiji strolled into the bedroom, wearing only a white towel around his waist. He was drying his wet blonde hair with another towel. He made his way to his bed and sat down. Hashiba Touma was lying in the covers, curled up with a good book. There were several pillows tucked behind him, some of his and some of Seiji's. Seiji watched his lover silently for a few moments before he rose from the mattress and made his way to the drawers. He pulled out a sleeveless black T-shirt and silk green boxers. In no time did he finish drying himself and change into his night attire. He left the room and placed the towels back into the bathroom before he returned to the bedroom. Seiji climbed into bed and peered over his partner's shoulder.

"Good book, Touma?"

"Very. It's about evolution and how the idea of evolution preceded Darwin. Charles Darwin was one of many who once looked into the idea of development among many living creatures."

"Mmm."

Touma was so profound and intellectual. He could analyze almost anything and give an explanation for its being and existence. Naturally it wasn't the only reason that Seiji fell in love with this blue haired wonder. Touma was a genius yet was surprisingly lazy. Yet for people he liked or love, he would spend all of his time with them even though he would forgot to do anything else (like eat or sleep).

In battle, Tenku no Touma was the strategist, planning all of his moves before he went out. He would try his best not to let his opponents get the best of him. Everyone was strong in their own way: Touma was strong when it came to mind games. He was definitely someone Seiji could count on when needed.

Battles... it's been a while since they had confronted an enemy. Suzunagi returned to the skies to rest in peace. The Troopers have their new armors and powers. All has been quiet. Seiji was grateful for this because this time period would allow them to train but at the same time enjoy the peace.

Touma placed his book down on the floor next to the bed and yawned. He closed his eyes and smiled as he leaned against Seiji's shoulder. Seiji blushed but he couldn't help but grin. "Comfortable?" the blonde inquired.

"You bet," Touma replied without opening his eyes.

Seiji kissed his love's forehead before he slipped out of bed to turn off the lights. Touma fell straight down onto the pillows and gave a light snore. Once the lights were out, Seiji ran his fingers through his soft, blonde hair and stiffled a yawn. He carefully crawled into the covers and laid next to Touma. Touma's head was resting on Seiji's pillow, the stubborn lock of blue hair laying against the bridge of his nose.

Cute, Seiji thought to himself. He continued to gaze at his lover, whose head was resting right next to his own. Seiji quietly moved closer so his forehead was relaxed against Touma's. The blonde lifted his hand from under the sheets and tenderly ran his fingers along Touma's azure colored hair. Touma's hair was soft and fine to the touch, but you wouldn't know by just looking at it. Seiji loved touching Touma's hair - more importantly, he enjoyed being able to touch him like this.

Silently, Seiji slid an arm around Touma's waist and proceeded to draw him close when suddenly Touma threw his arms around Seiji and YANKED him over, pressing him against his body. Seiji yelped as he felt Touma hugging him.

"T-Touma?!" Seiji exclaimed with a small sweatdrop.

Meanwhile Touma had a smirk on his face and his eyes were still closed. "What?"

Seiji blinked for a few moments before chuckling to himself. He relaxed his body and now placed both arms around the blue haired boy. Touma's arms were around Seiji's neck, holding the blonde close. He buried his face into Seiji's blonde hair, inhaling his sweet, comforting scent. Seiji smelled like fresh lilacs in the spring. It was comforting and it welcomed Touma.

Resting his head against the base of Touma's neck, Seiji closed his eyes as he felt his lover's heart beat. He did this for a few moments before he placed gentle, loving kisses along Touma's neck. Touma opened his eyes and tilted his head back, exposing more of his slender neck. Instead of continuing however, Seiji shifted himself until he and Touma were level with one another. Touma moved his head forward and gazed into Seiji's pale, violet eyes.

"Seiji..."

Touma touched Seiji's smooth cheek with his fingers. His blue eyes looked all about Seiji's face, as if wondering if this was a wonderful dream. Without hesitation, Touma leaned forward and kissed Seiji on the lips.

"Good night, love."

Seiji whispered, "Love you too. Good night."
