His eyes landed on the restless rhythm Suguru's thumb tortured himself with by initiating the small movement in the first place. He, too, looked down at her, feeling satisfied that she finally gave her body a moment to rest.

   "I don't know how you do it, getting her to just sleep like that." The Gojo lowly mumbled through an exhale, snowy eyelashes beating with content at the view before him.

   "Yeah, I don't get it either." He lightly chuckled in return while his eyes continued to admire the slow push of air that exited the small part in her perfect lips. "What's she been torturing herself with these days?"

   "That stupid Fushiguro guy." Satoru quickly returned, the roll of the name off his tongue leaving a bitter taste to wallow at the back of his throat. "The nightmares have started again, and of course, now about his reincarnation coming to get her or something about him being a kid. I don't know, I try not to indulge in it too much."

   "What a crazy thing her mind does to her, it's sad." The raven haired male smoothed his hand down the blanketed pair of legs that stretched across his lap. "Maybe Yaga will give her a break this summer."

   "With how crazy they've been these days? I'm surprised the three of us managed to get a day with each other." A pair of Six Eyes closely traced the path of the hand that comfortably caressed the skin of his twin almost as if he knew every crevice like the back of his hand, consequently sending shivers down his own spine.

   "She's still a hot spot then, huh?" Suguru moistened his lips with a quick slip of his tongue against the raw, bitten skin.

   "Feels way more complex than that if I'm going to be honest, but I'd rather not think too much about it." Satoru titled his head backward to rest his constantly running mind against the back of the couch, "Any plans for the summer? You know, despite our obligations."

   "Nothing in mind honestly, I just know wherever Rintaro is, I'll also be." He smiled down at her knowingly, feeling all too secure in his relationship with her. "You?" He rolled his neck to look at his friend.

   "Keeping her out of harms way seems to be the only thing on the agenda." His finger meagerly pointed to the dreaming twin that lay curled into herself, with her weight pressing her small form into the couch cushion that would be forever stained with her scent.

   "By the way, you heard anything about Nanami just yet?" Suguru pinched the corner of the blanket gently just to pull it further on top of his shivering girlfriend that pulled her two hands into her chest in search of warmth. "She's been asking about him and how he's doing nonstop, even after what he did."

   "I can't blame her, that's just how she is... only sees the good in people. And, I would know because I've heard every possible scenario she's created to excuse him." In the back of his mind, the dream Rintaro rapidly watched in his eyes played through his, giving him a slight glimpse of a childhood memory. "She did the same thing with Naoya, too, tried to forgive him and his father to continue their marriage wright."
