[He had agreed to the limitation of affection in public at first, but as the days went on and Eichi realized he couldn't just reach over to take Tsumugi's hand in a show of dominance, he realized that wasn't quite working for him. No amount of convincing was seeming to get through to him, as much as he wavered, and so here they are in the library, way too far apart for his liking.

But it might be that slight distance that has him wanting to close the gap. He's never experienced anything like this before. Longing had always been something related to his work, his schooling, his goal, but now he found himself tracing the curve of Tsumugi's shoulders as he babbled on about some sort of boring book Eichi doesn't really care about. Classes are over, he realizes with a glance over his shoulder to the rest of the empty library. There's no one in the immediate area.

So suddenly, he reaches out to take Tsumugi's hand. It's a gentle thing, despite where his thoughts are already rushing, soft and curling only a few of his fingers around Tsumugi's as he steps closer to him, gently guiding the book back to the shelf with his free hand. Enough of that.

He doesn't say a word yet, relying instead on the eager look in his eyes to do the talking first.]

[ Tsumugi's feeling just as cold too being semi-naked like this, but having Eichi drape all over him is helping a bit. ]

Maybe you should tell me before you're going to do something like this next time...

But isn't there some enjoyment in the thrill of the surprise?

[He manages to give Tsumugi a look in the middle of his exhaustion that is very suggestive, and then his eyes flutter closed as he takes a big breath, shaky as it is. If he sleeps right now, he feels like he might not wake up... But he knows better than to say that aloud and worry him.

He'll sleep, and rely on Tsumugi to wake them up in time.]

True, but--

[ Ah, he's completely nodded off. Eichi looks incredibly cute like this, relaxed and vulnerable. Tsumugi watches him doze off for a bit before getting up, carefully moving Eichi's limbs off of him and goes to retrieve their scattered clothes.

Glasses first, and then his uniform. He puts on his school blouse and sweater and sits back down on the floor, shifting Eichi's head so that he's sleeping on his lap, and drapes his school blazer over him. There. Sleep, my dear prince. ]

[Like this, Eichi sleeps even more comfortably than he could have imagined. Tsumugi's lap makes a nice pillow, and the warmth from that and the blazer are enough to help him against the cold, for now. He's still a little chilly, just running cold as he does, but it's not enough to wake him up.

So, he sleeps for quite some time before the wind blowing at some trees outside sounds too much like a door opening and it startles him awake, reminds him where he is. He sits up enough in his shock that the blazer slips from his shoulders, and he gives a panicked look around like he's still not sure what's going on. It's difficult to wake up, especially when he's startled like this.]

[ Tsumugi is just as startled when Eichi stirs in his sleep, but at least the other male isn't sleeping with the fishes as yet. ]

Sleep well? [ a gentle smile. ] We should really clean ourselves up before we actually get caught. Come on, I'll show you to the bathroom.

Mm, yes. I had such a comfortable pillow, after all.

[Upon seeing that gentle smile, his shoulders relax and he clutches at the blazer slipping from them. A shaking hand reaches for Tsumugi's after he's gathered his own discarded clothing from the floor, using it to help himself up.]

You're right. Let's go, Tsumugi. ♪ [With his own quiet smile in return, he'll follow him to the bathroom, rested and satisfied.]
