Here it is!!

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. ]

*then ... this is what i get for tagging at dumb o clock

[fabling]

[ He steps over once Shuichi's back in bed, slips under the covers after him and this time there's no hesitation as he pretty much sprawls himself across Shuichi. His arm curls over him, head tucking under Shuichi's chin. It's very clingy. ]

[truthstranger]

[ Shuichi swallows back a noise of surprise and, after a beat, settles his own arm lightly over Ouma. ]

...Mm... Sleep well.

[fabling]

[ It's comfy and warm like this, especially now he doesn't have to deal with the panic of trying to not let himself get swept up in the feeling of it. Shuichi's aware of how he feels about him now, so that's what matters.

He's quick to fall asleep though, barely aware of the conversation Shuichi probably has with Kaito before sleeping as well. In fact, it's a good number of hours later that he'll wake up at all. When he does he's groggy from sleeping perhaps Too Much in one go. ]

[truthstranger]

[ In fact Shuichi does call Kaito telepathically as soon as he's sure Ouma is asleep, instinctively trying to do it quietly so he doesn't wake him up, even though that doesn't really make sense. It's a short conversation, anyway.

It's a while after that before Shuichi manages to fall asleep himself, too conscious of Ouma against him and too many thoughts about everything that just happened running through his head, but eventually he dozes off. He's still out by the time Ouma starts to rouse. ]

[fabling]

[ Really, if he wasn't so emotionally exhausted and hadn't just spent 2 days away rummaging through ruins, he might have been unable to unwind as well.

Thankfully, he's able to wake up at a decent hour, probably around 9:30--definitely later than Shuichi should probably be going to work--and peers up at him. It isn't the first time he's seen him sleep, of course, but it seems a lot more special now.

It also means that now things are Established there should be no problems with him leaning up to kiss Shuichi on the lips, lingering there but not pushing to wake him up with it. Whether it does wake him up or not is another thing entirely. ]

[truthstranger]

[ He does wake up, but slowly, taking a moment to really rise to consciousness and realize that the touch on his lips is real and not some lingering figment of a dream. When he does, his eyes flutter open in surprise, and then he remembers everything that happened again all in a rush, and his lips turn up in a helpless smile. ]

[fabling]

[ He leans enough so that he's smiling over him, but at least it's not his crazy smile. Instead it's smaller, a lot warmer, as he gazes at Shuichi. ]

Did my beloved Shuichi get plenty of rest?

[truthstranger]

[ Somehow that sounds way more sincere with his given name, and it makes his heard thud heavily. ]

A-Ah... yeah, I think so. Did you sleep well?

[fabling]

Yup! I'm all refreshed.

[ 5.5 hours is probably a miracle amount of sleep for him in one go anyway. ]

You need to let Naegi-chan I'm keeping you all to myself today, okay? We're staying in bed until 1pm at least.

[truthstranger]

Right... I'll do that. I mean, not tell him that, but... one second.

[ His eyes go distant and he makes the telepathic call. ]

[fabling]

Best not to, he might get upset with Mom gone and all.

[ But he'll wait semi-patiently as Shuichi makes the call, settling with his head turned, ear over Shuichi's heart. ]

[truthstranger]

Ah... everyone does miss Kirigiri-san...

[ It doesn't take him very long to let Naegi know; there isn't actually much pressing to do at the agency when there aren't open cases, anyway. ]

Alright. I'm... all yours.

[fabling]

[ He doesn't say anything to the first part, because other than agreement, there isn't much else to say. ]

Hmmm, now how could I spend my morning with my beloved Shuichi?

[ He peers up at Shuichi with a smile then tugs the covers up over his head and... wiggles down a bit. This probably seems a little ominous, probably with good reason as he nudges Shuichi's shirt up in the dark only to aim a kiss at where his heart is. Or at least where he thinks it is when he can't see well. ]

[truthstranger]

[ In fact as soon as Ouma raises the covers he feels both a rush of heat and a wave of foreboding at the same time. When the touch comes to his chest he yelps in surprise, though really he doesn't know what he expected. ]

O, Ouma-kun?!

[fabling]

Mm? [ He hasn't moved away yet, even after Shuichi yelps. He only actually moves to nudge the covers high enough to see him again. There's a faint flush to his face, but he's smiling when he catches his eye. ]

Isn't it pretty funny, Shuichi? I ended up capturing your heart for real after all.

[truthstranger]

[ That look on Ouma's face makes him feel warm, and he tugs the edge of the blanket slightly higher so he can see him better as he feels a helpless embarrassed smile cross his own face. ]

Y-Yeah, I guess you did. It's funny how things end up. I'm really happy that you're capturing my heart this way now.

[fabling]

Hmmmm... [ He sounds more thoughtful than in agreement though, eyes sinking a little to Shuichi's lips, then his neck, then back down to his chest. His own mouth is already curving up into less of a smile and more of a ... smirk? ]

What about like this?

[ Sorry for everything, Shuichi, but he'll be biting down on that same spot now. Nom. ]

[truthstranger]

Ah!!

[ It's a yell of surprise more than of pain; it does hurt a little, but that's overshadowed by the wave of warm feeling that shoots through him. His hands instinctively go to Ouma's shoulders, but they just kind of grip there, not trying to push him away. ]

A-Ah, that's... um, I don't mind that either...

[fabling]

[ His shoulders twitch when Shuichi grabs them, eyes sliding up to his face and then he mouths over the spot, tongue pressing there as well—only to suck on it a second later. He seems very intent on making the spot all bruised. ]
