[After a long and successful day of Arashi's Love Fes, of course he was hardly of the mind to expect anything more. His housemates had both done plenty, and were deserving of the rest they'd gotten that night, too. It almost made HiMERU wish he'd been of more help as well, but he had been sick for many of the days leading up to the event, and even now it was admittedly difficult to shake the fatigue completely, so...
When his mattress dips with the weight of someone else, he doesn't completely register it at first; it's enough to make his brow furrow slightly in his sleep, but what really draws a reaction is the delicate touch, the enticing scent...
His arms stretch out perhaps a little too easily, wrapping around whatever has entered his space and drawing it closer into him. His face, too buries into a head of sweet-smelling hair, nuzzling gently as it puts him further at ease, drifting off into an even deeper sleep...]
like, kneejerkly, he'll get back to being sleepyville in a minute, but the affection ticks his heartrate up so fast it's embarrassing. the thoughtless hugging, the closeness, the way his brother nuzzles into his hair... it's a lot, and he wonders if HiMERU would do this with any bedmate now. he got used to it with kaname, didn't he? if it was someone else, would he hold them close? would he show such a gentle affection?
...
probably not, he reasons, and nuzzles closer himself. he knows his brother's been sick lately, that he's on the mend as tired as he is still, but-- oh, it'd be worth it if he caught ill too. then HiMERU could take care of him. how best to get sick...? kissing? brothers kiss. hiiro said so. but it's hard to like this, so no way. HiMERU would surely wake if he moved more. this should be good enough.
his heart eventually eases though and he buries his face into his brother a little more, eager to be as close as possible the way they'd gotten used to in sharing a single bed not a month before; as terrifying as it had been at times, those were some of his happier memories, and so now he's finding himself eager to replay them.
yes, they can sleep... they'll be some of the best dreams kaname's had in a good week too -- mostly because he has none at all. ]
[They stay wrapped up in each other for at least another hour more, the rare sleeping-in by HiMERU's standards. Morning enters his mind slowly, gradually; the muted light peeking shyly through the curtains, the soft brush of breath against his clothes, the irreplaceable warmth that would bleed into his own had it not soaked through his very bones already days ago, weeks ago, lives ago.
Reluctant as he is, his eyes do open eventually, one at a time. A bleary squint, a blink into clarity, two blinks to open both, a gaze settling on a tuft of blue hair beneath his jaw... and as much as he'd like to go back to sleep, he'd much rather peel his hand from the other's back, lift his fingers to slowly part his brother's draping fringe and get a better look at his sleeping face. In case that does not yet wake him, his palm will slide to follow along the curve of Kaname's jaw, the pad of his thumb swiping over the apple of his cheek.
A quiet hum in his throat, testing his voice before attempting any words.]
Kaname, [he whispers.] Good morning. What are you doing here?
[No chastising, no amusement — only pure curiosity.]
[ kaname leans into the affection, eyes squeezing shut a moment (trying to capture every drop, eager and yearning to remain right here) before they open just a little, a questioning hum HiMERU's answer before he hums again, a more "oh"ish sort of sound as he nuzzles closer.
he doesn't wanna get up. if he had the choice he'd stay right here, breathing in the calming scent of his only family and relishing quietly in their shared warmth. but life is ever so cruel, and kaname draws himself up with a yawn, swaying slightly... before pretty much flopping back onto his brother's chest instead. ]
Good morning, Taka-nii. Mm. I made you chocolates again. For Valentine's Day.
[ even if it's a day late, his brother'll accept them... he can eat them later, kaname wants to hog the other now. ]
I made some for Narukami too, and some for Shiina [ and amagi ] and Hiiro and his unit, and... and Ala, and um.
[ who... else-- oh right. ]
And Kingscholar, and um... other people. But yours are the best. 'Cause they're for you.
[Kaname will feel the soft rumble of a laugh, pressed against his chest like this, with HiMERU's fingertips dragging through his hair still.]
You've been busy. [Making chocolates. Making... connections.] Just when did you find the time for all that?
[A touch of suspicion in his tone, as though he already knows the answer... but strangely, there isn't a hint of upset, either. Maybe a trace of exasperation, but only the hopelessly fond type today.]
[ he wishes it was always like that. soft laughter, fond exasperation, fingers combing through his hair... it's hard to stay awake. ]
After the event Narukami held, I went shopping and gathered everything I needed... I snuck it in through my window, and then when you two were asleep I made everything.
[ like it's normal. careful of that window. ]
I still have to package everyone else's, but it... [ mm. he's holding in a yawn. ] It won't take long. I simply have to make sure I deliver them all before sundown. A day late is hardly acceptable, but two and it loses meaning.
