[ They'd stayed up talking ( and making out, and talking some more ) until about four. As it stands, there's still so much to sort out between them, but at least some of the important issues have been addressed: Josh is okay with Hikaru's people knowing about them, and the Blade King can tell them at his leisure, and Josh will handle his family and the Hounds, with the exception of Brianna because Hikaru offered and honestly, Josh has no idea how to approach that topic himself.
Josh wakes up slowly. Awareness comes to him in snatches of sound, and then in shifts of light behind his eyelids, and then his brain kicks in, noting the warmth and scent of the man curled up at his side ( Hikaru's head on his shoulder, steady breath warm against his neck, that forehead cool beneath Josh's cheek ) and of the tiny breathing thing wedged between them.
He smiles quietly, opens his eyes, hand gently scratching Mitsuru behind one ear and rewarded by the kitten twisting around, fast asleep.
Guess he's not moving then. Poor thing stayed up as long as they did.
His eyes wander to Hikaru's door. There aren't any shadows moving in the crack beneath it, but he was pretty sure he heard someone moving about. ]
