         Rin had never slept that good. The first thing he noticed when he woke up was how warm and pleasant he felt. The second thing he noticed was that he couldn't feel his left arm, it was numb. He lazily opened his eyes and was about to pull his arm away for it to have some blood flow when he saw Isagi peacefully sleeping on it. His cheek was pressed against Rin's inner elbow, just the perfect place to make his arm go numb, and his breath was tickling his skin a little bit. There was no way Rin was going to move even if it cost him an arm. That was obviously a hyperbole.


It was like a cat had sat on his lap. Once a cat had decided to sit on someone's lap, it was usually quite particular about its comfort and would often not tolerate any movement or disturbance. When that happened the best thing to do was to remain still so, Rin was going to do just that to be able to enjoy the sight of Isagi sleeping a little more. Maybe that sounded a bit creepy.

His eyes went lower, down to Isagi's neck to see the marks he had left the night before and then even lower, he could see the slow rise and fall of his chest as he breathed. He was reminded of the events from before and couldn't help but feel embarrassed for no reason. How was everything going to be now?

Were they going to walk to their dorms together after football practice, except Isagi wasn't going to have to run after him and catch up to him? Maybe they'd have some coffee together every now and then, walk hand in hand in campus and make out in the corners. They were probably going to hear Bachira say get a room pretty often, too. Was that it? Those sounded a bit cheesy and cliché but he didn't hate the idea.

Rin sighed and looked back up at Isagi's face and his ever so slightly parted bruised lips, they looked deeper in color most probably because of sleeping. He moved his hand to his cheek and caressed it as gently as he could and Isagi hummed, unconsciously snuggling into his arm even more. That put a warm smile onto Rin's lips.

He slid his hand lower towards the other's chin and lightly pressed his thumb on his bottom lip, pulling it down a little before swiping along it. That was where Rin's little moment ended because just as he was leaning in to leave a kiss on Isagi's lips, his eyes fluttered open and he started blinking to get his vision to clear up after waking up. Then he looked into Rin's eyes drowsily. Rin stopped mid-way through and moved slightly away again, he looked away but he kept his hand on the other's chin.

Isagi smiled and Rin knew promptly after that he was going to comment on his demeanor. "You're em-" Isagi started but before he could continue the younger pressed his lips against his and left a soft peck before he pulled his hand away. "Not embarrassed." Rin finished his sentence for him which made Isagi chuckle.

"Good morning." The older continued and his gazed shifted upwards to Rin's eyes. Rin watched him as he seemed to be in thought. "Morning.. Is there something on my face?" he asked and attempted to move his hand up to his face but Isagi caught it in his halfway through. "No. It's just that your eyelashes look prettier up close."

"Next thing you're gonna call me eyelashes, too. Just know, I won't let it slide just because I like you. And stop being so cheesy." Rin rolled his eyes playfully. "Okay, eyelashes."

"Get off my arm." Isagi laughed heartily but didn't comply. "I mean it. Get off, I haven't been feeling my arm for the past fifteen minutes." With that Isagi looked down to where his head was resting and understandingly lifted himself up so that Rin could pull his arm away. Once his arm was free Rin sat up and yawned and as he did he felt some movement underneath the comforter. He moved his hand to peek under and see, just then he felt a sting on his inner thigh and winced.
