It was so warm... The lukewarm feeling enveloped him gently, making him unwilling to wake up.
I just want to sleep like this forever.
Despite this, the whole person is still drifting in the sea of spiritual clouds, consciousness sometimes disappears, and he can vaguely perceive the sporadic fragments of the outside world-the warm and soft blanket wraps his body thoughtfully, and the whole body is sunk in the comfortable bed, just Like being held in a warm embrace.The pillows were probably all wet with saliva, but maybe it was just an illusion of deep sleep—in any case, he must be breathing in the outside air with his mouth slightly open, and he didn't have the strength to close it.I don't even want to expend effort to breathe, I inhale and exhale shallowly and slowly, feeling lazy and undisciplined, so comfortable.The window may be open, the breeze caresses the cheek, and the sound of air moving slowly on the soft fabric is faintly heard.
Kaoru was watching him.Kneeling on one knee on the floor beside the bed, tilting his head slightly, he took every detail of Shinji's body into his eyes contentedly.The soft-looking black hair scattered on the pillow, the faint pink cheeks, and the shallow breathing rate.His shoulders rose and fell gently with his breath, and the blanket went up and down with subtle movements...
He stared at all this obsessively, with a happy smile on his face that he didn't even notice.
His face was a rare serenity. After so long, it was great to finally be able to let him enjoy a peaceful sleep.He needs rest.Likewise, he was happy that Shinji was able to stay in his home, resting in his bed, as if completely cut off from the distractions and stresses of the outside world, and the small apartment had a cozy atmosphere.His complexion was also rosy, and the anxiety that had always plagued him disappeared from his body, and there was only Shinji sleeping peacefully.
The slender boy sighed softly and stood up - maybe to make some breakfast, maybe just trying hard to take his eyes off the sleeping Shinji.He had barely steadied himself on his knees (which seemed to be numb) when he heard the other boy groan softly and roll over under the blanket shrugging.Kaoru quickly turned to look at him, secretly hoping that he had opened his eyes—but no, he just changed positions in a daze in his sleep.His mouth was still slightly open and he was breathing softly, his cheeks were as rosy as an apple, his black eyelashes trembling slightly, scratching his heart like a kitten's paws.It's really tiring.
So Kaoru held back her laughter, and finally finished the action of standing up from the floor, to do...he didn't know.Maybe it's just a normal day, he thought, getting dressed, getting something to eat, and checking the weather forecast.Even if Shinji was sleeping soundly on the bed, it wouldn't change much, but he had to take all his movements lightly.
Even so, he wasn't conscious of Shinji sleeping soundly behind him while he changed in his room.He was in a deep sleep.But it didn't mean that Kaoru would feel embarrassed if he woke up.If that was the case, Shinji would have blushed hotly while watching him change his panties.On this point, he has observed enough.Unlike himself, Shinji always felt shy easily, his cheeks were always tinged with a visible blush.He writes everything on his face, and changes his expressions with his every move, which is really cute.Kaoru thought, what kind of person would be so sensitive.Seeing Shinji in any situation is so interesting and pitiful.
Kaoru turned his head and glanced at Shinji again—to check his status, whether he was still asleep and completely ignorant of the outside world, or he was about to wake up soon.As a result, he slept well and was still immersed in the sweet dreamland... He didn't blush because he saw Kaoru changing clothes.Well, he admits he wants to see Shinji like this, it must be funny.
Today is indeed Friday.So yes, they have classes.And since it was already the school's lunch break, they had already skipped the entire morning class, and there were only a few hours of class left today.Rationally speaking, it is not worth rushing to school at this time.To be precise, Kaoru had decided not to wake Shinji up no matter what, just let him enjoy an undisturbed sleep.He was just worried about how the other boy would react if he woke up and knew he had missed a day of class.He may feel that he is behind in his studies and that it is all his fault. "Why don't you wake me up Kaoru I don't believe you anymore", that's really sad.But it was worth it, he insisted, and hoped that Shinji would understand and still trust him.
Anyway, Kaoru had finally changed into his clothes—not a uniform, just plain sweatpants and a T-shirt—in a way, it was the same as what he wore to bed last night, but he felt much cleaner.He walked softly around the apartment, taking out cereal to make something for Shinji and himself, trying not to make any noise.He looked up at Shinji every once in a while to make sure he was awake.Maybe he has woken up, because he accidentally tore open a plastic packaging bag, and the "stab" sound was too loud.He might have—ah, or not.
He sighed, before admitting that he really wanted to see Shinji come to his senses.Wants to stay with Shinji who is awake.I want to hear his voice, I want him to be by my side, I want him to make me happy.How selfish.
Kaoru tried hard to suppress the thought of waking Shinji up loudly—don't be so selfish, just let him sleep, he needs to rest.
After all, he was used to lack of attention like this.In fact, Kaoru and Shinji are the same kind, often staying alone in the almost empty apartment, listening to all kinds of background noises to pass the time.But this boy showed up, and now he's in his apartment, lying on his bed.The light-haired boy suddenly found that he couldn't stop the complicated thoughts in his head—he had always been so self-controlled, but now he stood stiffly in front of the cabinet, and the raging desire in his heart opened his bloody mouth to him, and he almost It's about to be devoured.
He could tolerate such a weakness in himself.Although in his heart, he doesn't want to call this relationship that way; he won't become weak and stupid just because he is deeply in love with another person.He was just fascinated, and the deep obsession with the boy in his heart had reached the edge of danger.
He has fallen completely in love.There are thousands of words in my heart, but it comes down to this one sentence, it can be defined by others.
He was just longing, longing to go to his bed, to the sleeping boy, to tell him, to let him know, to let him know what was on his mind.
But he needs rest.He's decided it's more important than communicating how he feels - yeah, he's tired and I shouldn't wake him up for whatever reason.
Just like that, when Shinji finally woke up, it was already afternoon.His consciousness gradually slipped into his waking body, wondering how long he had been asleep.The whole person was staggering, of course, for the time being, he still couldn't distinguish between reality and dream - his stomach was almost flattened by hunger, he awkwardly got up from the bed, and yawned dully.He opened his mouth wide and yawned several times. He wanted to try to sit cross-legged, but every time his limp body couldn't help but fell backwards, sinking completely into the warm blanket again.It wasn't until the fourth attempt that he finally managed to sit up.
Kaoru's blanket.
"Xun's bed—" he said in a low voice while clutching the sheet under his hands blankly.Strange.Trance.But when these emotions are put into words, they are full of surprise and affection.I spent the night here yesterday, it should be...
"Shinji?"
He suddenly became nervous when he heard his name, because he never expected that the owner of the room might still be at home.Stunned, he raised his eyes to see Kaoru in the same surprise.He changed his clothes and held a cup in one hand.One still seemed to be boiling hot, and steam was rising from the other, but not as hot as the other.
"You're awake." A smile. "Would you like some tea? I just made it..."
Kaoru must have drank some of his own cup before, and made him a new cup when he saw Shinji thumping wildly on the bed.Or at least, that's what the brunette guessed, and he's really flattered if it's true.Then he blushed again and smiled, looking down, and fingering his shirt.No, Kaoru's shirt—it's his shirt, he lent me to wear it.For a moment, he forgot about the person standing in front of him, pulled up the collar of his shirt, buried his nose in it and sniffed lightly—it smelled so pleasant, his smell... wearing his clothes, sleeping on his Shinji had never felt so intimate between the two of them, and he couldn't help but smile when he thought that he was smelling of Kaoru.
"Shinji...?"
"Well, well, I want to drink, I—" Shinji couldn't restrain a shy smile on his face, while observing the surrounding environment.He let go of the fingers that were clenched tightly on the shirt, and quickly put the matter behind him, and his consciousness has completely returned to reality. "Thank you."
Kaoru smiled at him too, looking relieved.He walked up to Shinji's side, sat on the mattress on his right, handed the cup of hot tea to Shinji, and held the half-drunk cup of warm tea himself.
They sat together quietly, drinking tea in small sips, hiding their mood at the moment.As for the more introverted boy, he was obviously satisfied with the close distance between the two of them at this moment.Shinji was slightly distracted, his eyes wandered, and he unconsciously noticed the bedside table on his left.An alarm clock, an empty mug, a few books... The numbers on the alarm clock display are bright red, very conspicuous.
The time displayed by this number woke him up immediately, 2:16.It's two o'clock in the afternoon.
"Kun—" he began, his voice full of worry and doubt. "Kun, what day is it today—" Shinji's panicked voice sounded in the small room, breaking the tranquil atmosphere that no one had touched before.The taller boy turned to look at him, his tone gentle even though the other was still panicked.
"It's Friday, why are you—"
"We didn't go to school! We missed so many classes, and it's already afternoon and I've been asleep for so long—why didn't you wake me up?!" He got up from the bed, looked around for his uniform, Want to change it right away.Maybe he can—no, today's class is about to end, I don't even have time to apologize to the teacher—"Oh my God, Kaoru, why—"
"Shinji, calm down..." He soothed his nervousness, put the cup on the table next to the bed, and put his free hands on the other boy's shoulders to keep him under control.Sit him back on the bed and tell him not to worry. "I called the school and spoke to Misato on your behalf... I told her you were sick and were catching up on sleep."
"but--"
"You need a good rest, so I didn't wake you up."
"Kun—"
"Stop arguing with me on this, you need more sleep, and Misato agrees with me."
Shinji bit his lower lip tightly.Kaoru was so cunning for being so nice to him.He couldn't find the best way to respond to him, he could only try his best to convey his current mood.
"Thank-thank you... for calling her. But I'm not sick, I'm fine."
"Insufficient sleep is also a disease," Kaoru firmly denied him, "but it's okay, you can stay here until you feel better."
"Stay here?"
"Yes, you can stay at my house. I don't mind—you'll sleep better here."
"Oh-oh." He blushed again, realizing at the same time that he had no choice. "Thanks, um."
Then, something bad happened.Some vague fragments flashed in Shinji's mind, and he remembered what happened last night.
"Uh—that, last night—" He sat there, too nervous to look at him.The sparks of memory suddenly appeared, those feathery kisses on the body, the scalding heat from the two people's close skins—compared with his eyes or ears, he almost remembered Kaoru's actions last night with his body move. "Ah, I—I..." Shinji didn't know what to say, sorry if I fell asleep or—did something happen after I fell asleep?Why are you doing that?is that true
Fortunately, Kaoru read his thoughts and turned to look at him with a sheepish grin.
"However, falling asleep in the middle is really cunning, Shinji."
