Sorry, my boredom was acting up again, I had to delay my schedule on writing this thing. Here ya go, enjoy~!

     After a sudden fall, Lee opened his eyes to meet yours; your body underneath his and his face centimeters away from yours. You both could hear Neji muttering wow as he stares at the both of you in surprise. Embarrassed, you push your boyfriend off of you, your face was flushed in many shades of red.

     "I'm sorry!" he apologized, definitely fazed. You responded with an apology too, for being in his way. Though, after that, you both returned to your jobs.

     Hours later and you were finally finished, you sighed in relaxation as you felt the cool air rushing past you. You walked until you arrived at the place where you call your home. You soon paused in your tracks and stared at the man in front of you; his expression was hyperactive as usual as he stood up straight by your door. He waved his hand at you, "Hello, (Y/n)!"

     "Hey Lee," you greeted back, but you quickly returned to being curious as to why he was here, "Why are you here?"

     "(Y/n), can't I see you?" he sheepishly smiled as you laughed at his response; feeling your ears blushing red. You opened the door and you stepped inside, you look over at your boyfriend; your eyes shining beneath the moonlit sky. "Do you want to come inside?" you questioned, pushing the door farther open invitingly for the hot-blooded ninja. He nodded his head as he calmly stepped inside your house.

     "Wanna watch a movie? We've had dinner already right with Guy-sensei, Tenten, and Neji earlier?" you suggested as you led him to your bedroom. The room was a medium one, not too big, not too small. A double bed with pale yellow covers and white pillows was placed in the center with two nightstands, stood right across, facing the bed, was a TV on a wooden TV stand. Other features were a desk that was paired with a chair right beside the window next to your bed.

     "Yes, that sounds nice, (Y/n)," he answered with enthusiasm laced in his tone. You quickly huddled under the covers right after you took off your jacket. Lee did the same thing too. "What movie are we going to watch?" 

     "You'll see."

     The movie was about to end. Sadly, poor Lee was asleep already. He had his head slumped on your lap, your fingers slowly running through his dark hair. You slowly took in all his features, the low snoring, the small drool that was slowly coming out of his parted lips, every single little features, silently reminding you why you loved the hot-blooded ninja in the first place.

     Your attention went back to the TV before you, there was a scene where the female protagonist was crying. You had to reach for the remote to turn the volume down, afraid you'd wake Lee up from his slumber. Unfortunately, he woke up. His whole body jerked and sat up real quick, no slouching. He glanced at you, seemed to be observing you. "Oh, I'm sorry, (Y/n), I thought you were crying!" he exclaimed, you had to pause the movie to actually hear what he was saying. 

     "What? No, Lee, I wasn't crying. It was the girl from the movie." you used your index finger to point at the TV screen. Lee's gaze was now trained on the TV.

     "Oh, that's good." he then went back to sleep, head in your lap. Little does he know, what he said actually hit you deep. The thought to have him wake up in the middle of his sleep because he heard you 'crying' moved you so much. 

     Throughout your young life, you've had a handful of noteworthy people who habitually seek out to harm or intimidate those whom they perceive as vulnerable. One of them was your alcoholic mother. Many people would be glad, happy, feel like the weight on their shoulders have lifted when they arrive at home. But for your scenario, it's the complete opposite. Expect punishments, yelling, and a few beatings every time you come to the place you call 'home'.

     To see someone to actually care about you, seemed like a relief. 

     "I love you..." you heard a low mumble coming from your sleeping boyfriend. Smiling, you gently patted his back.

     "Love you too, Lee." you quietly replied.
