Flowers of the night

Numerous, messy reddish flowers for Riku.

Most of his memories from childhood are split into two: Tenn doing everything to make him happy even if he was in bed most of the time, and him laying in said bed, looking out of the window of his room. He used to think he had to show Tenn that everything was okay, that he was improving, so his twin brother wouldn't worry too much. Sometimes, though, the more he tried hard, the more he ended up tiring himself. He got worse and felt sick, then Tenn would keep singing for him.

Riku never told him, but he felt guilty. So one night, just before going to sleep, he remembers taking Tenn's hand and smiling at him: «Tenn-nii» he said «let's sleep together.» which was not something new for them, so of course his twin brother accepted. The real surprise on his face was when, under the blankets, only the lamp on the small table still switched on, Riku started singing a lullaby. Nothing more than humming, in fact, but he remembers Tenn's surprised yet happy expression very well - for once, Riku did something for him.

Bougainvillea are simple but strong flowers.
