Ah... for sleeping, you mean? I can probably find something...

[ Ouma in his clothes... /// ]

[fabling]

Mmm. [ He hums it out quietly, and really agreement should be enough but — ]

These are really uncomfy without anything underneath.

[ That is exactly how it sounds. ]

[truthstranger]

Ah.

[ That is certainly... a piece of information. Especially with Ouma still sitting on top of him. His eyes drop for a split second before he drags them back up. ]

A-Are you sure you're not just trying to get another pair of my underwear?

[ Is that better?! ]

[fabling]

[ His lips twitch as Shuichi's eyes drop before moving back up. He blinks innocently at him, really he does just want to sleep at this point but that doesn't mean he can't have fun with this first. ]

Did you want to check?

[truthstranger]

N-No! I-I mean...

[ Should he say yes??

He just looks flustered and confused. ]

[fabling]

[ The look on his face makes his own heart swell a little, smile widening. ]

We’re boyfriends now right? You can say yes if you wanna.

[truthstranger]

...Then...

[ ... ]

I kind of... do...

[fabling]

[ He swallows quietly, because as teasing as he might be with this, he's not actually Prepared for it either. To start, though, he shifts to lean only on his knees, half up instead of straddling Shuichi. Then, he pushes the hem of Kaito's shirt up over his stomach, holding it in place. ]

Do you want to, or shall I?

[truthstranger]

You—

[ Shuichi has to take a moment to be overwhelmed just looking at Ouma like that. It seems unreal, almost like a fantasy. But then he takes a shaky breath and reaches out. ]

...H-Here...

[ He runs his hands along the bare band of skin around to Ouma's back, lingering at the small of his back for a moment before sliding his fingers down under the waistband of his pants, just slightly. ]

[fabling]

[ He's sleepy and delirious enough it may as well be. He keeps one hand on the shirt, the other moving to Shuichi's shoulder. ]

Was I lying to you, then, Shuichi?

[ He's talking like this, but there are spots where his voice cracks a bit, where he's waiting impatiently and hoping Shuichi will just keep wiggling his hand down anyway. ]

[truthstranger]

[ Shuichi looks up at Ouma, a bit dazed and incredulous. Maybe he can also blame the fact that it's around 3am and he passed the point he could have imagined anything like this a long time ago for the fact that he does slide his hands further down. Leaning a bit closer so he can reach, his fingers dip further, past where he could plausibly find the edge of his underwear, brushing the curve of Ouma's ass before he pauses like that, both hands down the back of Ouma's pants, face burning. ]

L-Looks like you were telling the truth... this time.

[fabling]

[ It's probably almost 4am by this point, but even that wouldn't explain how they got to this point with Shuichi's hands down the back of his trousers (which are already tight enough without that) and his own face flushed as he stares down at him. ]

Does that mean you'll start giving me checks? Should I make it into a game where you have to guess if I'm wearing anything underneath every day?

[truthstranger]

I-I didn't mean it like that... I meant you might lie about things other than your underwear!

[ flustered, he considers pulling his hands back, but that would be conceding something he had to work hard to do in the first place, so they stay for now ]

Do you really not wear anything that often...?

[fabling]

[ He can't help it, he laughs under his breath at that. ]

Sorry, Shuichi. This is a first actually! I was just pretty dirty after the excursion and figured I'd be better off doing without for now. I mean I just showered before I got here, y'know?

[truthstranger]

A-Ah, I see.

[ Now he pulls his hands back, that enough of a reminder that he was trying to get Ouma to take care of himself. ]

Anyway... yes, I can lend you some of my boxers for now. For sleeping.

[fabling]

[ He looks away as Shuichi pulls his hands back out again, feigning disinterest when really he's disappointed for the lack of contact. He'll get plenty soon. ]

Yeah. Hey, Shuichi? Can you call in sick tomorrow?

[truthstranger]

[ Shuichi blinks, and then it’s very apparent on his face when the implications hit him. ]

Um.

[ And then he takes a moment to consider. ]

...Y-Yeah, that should be fine. We don’t have any ongoing cases, so I’ll just let Naegi-san know I have some other things to take care of.

[fabling]

[ He blinks back at him, his head tilting slightly because he'd just wanted to sleep in since they were both up late, and given how circumstances have changed now... he wanted to have Shuichi to himself for a bit.

More than 3/4am in the morning while he's half asleep, anyway. ]

Thanks. [ The smile he gives him is smaller, softer and probably shows how tired he is, more than before did anyway. ]

[truthstranger]

...Yeah. We should both get to sleep.

[ He makes a motion to move... but doesn't really follow through on it since that would involve pushing Ouma off of him. ]

[fabling]

Yup. [ He shifts off him, flopping onto his back before pushing forward to get off the bed. That done, it's just a matter of waiting for Shuichi told hand him something to wear to sleep in. ]

[truthstranger]

[ He does in fact just hand Ouma another pair of his boxers, without comment.

Look that's how he sleeps. ]

[fabling]

[ Now there's just the issue of having the choice of going to his bathroom to change... or just doing it here.

Two guesses which he's going to go with. He does at least turn his back to Shuichi as he unfastens his trousers. Though it still isn't enough to help when he's pulling them off to change them for Shuichi's boxers instead just. Right there. ]

[truthstranger]

Ah!

[ It's almost an involuntary noise, and he automatically looks away. Then it occurs to him that maybe he's supposed to look, and he looks back? But it feels weird to just... watch him... so eventually his eyes drift back towards the bed again. ]

[fabling]

[ Thankfully it's a fairly quick process, though he does just leave his trousers on the floor as he turns back to look at him, 100% dressed in just Shuichi and Kaito's clothes instead. ]

Let's get some sleep them, okay?

[truthstranger]

[ For some reason looking at Ouma in Kaito's shirt and his boxers makes him feel warm too. ]

...Yeah. Come on.

[ He climbs back into bed. ]
