[ He feels a little deaf. Like the room is too eerily quiet that the silence has its own hum of sound, his breathing making far too much noise even if each intake is slow and deliberate. His heart.is alsp thudding in his chest, reminding him a little of the last game he'd ever played, whole and well before his second life.

He's like that for about a minute, and then you'll feel him easing off his weight over you -- just a little, as well as the tremor that goes through the arms bracing his weight on either side of you.

He's... not planning to move. Not yet. Being this close allows him to enjoy the luxury of breathing in your skin, basking in your warmth.

He takes a long ( and oddly content-sounding ) breath before he murmurs: ] So.

Is this going into the night right right way?

[ Yes, he's smiling against your shoulder. No, he didn't mean to think about Shin Yamatai, he just remembered that dig because... because. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

[There's a pause from this one's end, then a quiet laugh.]

I think it already has.

[No, he's not going to move at all. You are, quite literally, holding him together right now. He wouldn't trade this moment for any other in the world at this point.]

[ A chuckle against your shoulder then. Before he's pressing a kiss against the artwork penned into your skin.

After a moment though: ]

You're amazing.

[icarusalsoflew]

Thank you. I do try my best.

[And while that sounds like his customary teasing coupled with the usual confidence, the softness of his tone and the look in his eyes might say otherwise.

You're pretty amazing yourself, LaRue.]

[ Man, he doesn't want to move, but...

Shifting back now, and easing himself away from you with a nudge from the arm around your shoulders to draw you up against him.

He likes this closeness, it's a kind of intimacy he'd never thought about, had never found himself interested until... well, you. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

[No words from this one, just a whole lot of small gestures geared towards him pressing in close and making himself comfortable...

...There is a yawn, though, eventually. Small and rather reminiscent of - of all things - Mitsuru.]

[ Have a kiss pressed to your brow then, Hikaru. ]

Sleep. You look beat.

[ That's murmured as he hooks a leg around yours and brings himself closer. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

I'm only going to sleep if you're going to stay here.

[He knows he already asked, but... please indulge him.]

[ Okay, there's no immediately point of reference, but none of the Hounds have dogs for pets, but if they did, the way he's nuzzling you would be reminiscent of a puppy looking for quiet affection. ]

Not going anywhere unless you tell me I should.
