[ Riley had nightmares; she had nightmares every since they've returned. They made her toss and turn at night and some of her old roommates used to tell her she'd sometimes scream or cry but she never told Regulus; she knew he'd worry. The nightmares were more like memories that until they graduated she looked like a zombie every morning.

Everything seemed to change today, she was moving in with him. From the minute they returned she'd did everything in her power to avoid falling asleep with him even if it meant faking it but now she couldn't avoid it or pop in as much candy in her mouth to have sugar crazed days.

This meant her, regulus and sleep. Which meant nightmare that she never wanted to come clean about. Gosh why didn't she just tell him from the start?

It's just after dinner when she skips out happily into the room he's in. Only adorned in a long t-shirt and some bright coloured fuzzy socks.] Regulus, My love. So, have you decided if you wanted to continue your education?

[Farkle had always compartmentalized and had only become more so throughout the years. He tries to let more things slide off, which helps when you were in a team with people who had violent backgrounds. He's still barely suited, but he's gotten used to more gruesome things.

He's glad, though, that Riley finally agreed to move in with him and at least the apartment was pre-furnished (because, well, he decorated in advance with anticipation of his wife joining him. He's already fidgeting around with the papers when Riley comes in.

Quirk a brow upwards, he gives the tiniest of smug grins before sliding an envelope reading the name of a university addressed to a 'Regulus Barghest' before skipping back through more papers with a yawn.] That's still open for debate. [He motions with a nod.] There's a spot open in the Ministry right now.

[ Walking up behind him before wrapping her arms around his seated body with a smile on her face. ]

You know I'll support you on anything you chose. If you want to go to a muggle university; sure. If you want to work at the ministry; go ahead. If you want to buy your lovely wife a bunny farm and move out to the country; yay! The point is, I love you and I'll follow you wherever you go.

[He snorts slightly, burrowing hi head down before shaking his head.] You're not going to look at the letter at all, are you?

Well, it isn't addressed to me. I think I'd be prying into one 'Regulus Barghest's personal stuff. I wouldn't do that; no no no.

It's already open. And that person is giving you permission right here. [His brow quirk a further shifting to look Riley in the eye.] Or we could talk about your internship, seems much more exciting.

Fine, give me the letter.

So we're not discussing your internship. [He looks amused gently prying himself away.] It's not that big a deal. There's still more to deal with.

We'll talk about my internship later; I think it's important if I find out what in that letter first, Mr. smartypants-jerkface.

Don't sound as if I you don't enjoy it.

Sweetie, I enjoy your company here, there, in bed. You're anecdotes are quite thrilling and make feel all fuzzy inside but sometimes you can be a jerkface. I love you but it's true.

And yet you are here. And you're still smiling.

Because I love you and I could never leave you.

So I can't be as much of a jerkface as you'd like me to believe.

I would rebut with 'Do you want me to leave you?' but I would never leave you. In fact, I think you should put away those papers and head to bed. You know what, how about you go to bed and I'll clean everything up.

--I already cleaned everything up. [He glances at her.] Except for those stack of books and they're also organized. By me. So if you're tired we can just go to bed together.

[ Shoves the papers he had onto the floor ]

Oh lookie! A mess. I'm such a klutz; I'll clean this up while you head to bed.

...Yeah, cause that doesn't read SUSPICIOUS!!! at all. [He sits back down immediately.]

Iris. [He mulls over some thoughts shifting his jaw before speaking.] If it's sharing a bed, I'll sleep on the couch tonight and put a new bed in the office tomorrow.

It isn't that Regulus. I-I YOU just look so tired so I'll finish up in here and you go sleep your heart out.

You're the one who looks tired, Iris. And you've looked tired for a while.

You're not going to leave until I come with you, am I right?

Sounds like the plan, yep.

Fine...

[ moving to the floor and very slowly picking up the fallen pappers ]

[ Reaching over with one hand to grab the papers and the other reaches for her hand. ]

...Riley.

Let's head to bed, yay!
