At the Finish Line [Haiji Kiyose] - Run With the Wind

thirty - "to the top"

The next morning, Haiji is awoken by the sound of his alarm clock ringing at 6:30 am, having agreed to let the guys run at 7 am instead of 6 am.

Rubbing his eyes, he turns to silence the alarm, when he's restricted by Chiyo laying on his other arm. He carefully switches the alarm off, turning back on his side and slowly pulling his arm away from underneath her as she's turned away from him.

She groans, throwing her arm out and bashing her wrist on the floor in her sleep. Haiji winces, leaning over and pulling her arm back onto the mattress.

Stirring in her sleep, she squints as the sunlight pours into his room, turning to face Haiji. She stretches, wiping her mouth as she looks up at Haiji.

A grin spreads across his lips. "Good morning, Yoshida."

She smiles, shifting closer to his side. "Good morning, Kiyose."

His hand brushes her cheek, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "You drool in your sleep, did you know that?"

"I hope I drooled all over your arm." She retorts, not missing a beat --even in her tired state.

He huffs a laugh. "It's very attractive, just so you know."

Flashing him a toothy smile, she sits up, pulling the sheets up to cover herself. "Wait. Did I sleep the whole night?"

Haiji shrugs, sitting up and placing a kiss on her bare shoulder. "You must have."

"It's a miracle." She jokes.

"We'll just have to have sex every night and that way you're too knackered to stay awake." He suggests.

She turns her head to look at him. "That can be arranged."

Laughing, he places a finger to her chin, slowly kissing her lips. She turns her body to face him, a hand on his toned chest as she tilts her head to deepen the kiss.

He pulls away. "You know what we're doing right now? French-kissing."

Her smile falls, eyebrows raised. "Was that supposed to be funny? Oh Haiji, puns are the lowest form of comedy."

He sends her a look, leaning in closer to kiss her again, both hands wrapping around her back. With one hand on his chest, Chiyo's other hand travels further down and his eyes widen.

She grins, pulling her legs on either side of him as he holds her in his arms. She reaches down to his crotch, only to be alarmed by the sound of a bedroom door closing in the hallway.

Haiji huffs. "I'd better go. They'll be wondering where I am."

Shrugging, Chiyo climbs off of him and tugs the sheet over herself. "That's fine. We can pick up where we left off later."

He grins, pointing a finger at her. "Now that sounds like a plan."

She lays back down, sending him finger guns.

Laughing, he shakes his head, peppering her cheek in kisses. He throws the sheet back at her as he reaches over to his drawers and pulls out his running clothes. "I can't believe you gave me finger guns."

"Yeah, that's not like me... Let's forget I did that." She waves a hand.

He grabs a pair of underwear, pulling them on and sitting back down facing away from her.

Chiyo shields her eyes from the sun, sinking back into his pillows. "Oh, well done for yesterday, by the way."

He glances over his shoulder. "What, well done for the sex? You enjoyed it that much that you want to congratulate me?"
