[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.
