SOUSUKE
—❁—

I lean against Kous cracked bedroom door as I hold the little single portion thing of soup I prepped for him. The only thing I needed was the green onion, but thankfully the Minamoto kitchen had a pretty easy layout and was fairly absent of clutter—so I was able to find everything I needed pretty easily. "Kou.. I finished your soup that you just had to have." I smile and look over at Kou, but he didn't respond or react to my comment in any sort of way. "Kou?" I narrow my eyebrows as I keep looking at him, my eyes diverting themselves to his desk space before following him again with my quick shuffle over to his cluttered up desk so I can set the tray down. I then softly smile again as I walk over to him and kneel down beside his bed to look at him and admire his calmly set features.

He was obviously sleeping, and his earbuds in his ears prevented him from hearing anything outside of whatever little space his head was in prior to dozing off like an idiot. Part of me wanted to back away and mind my business since watching people sleep in my head was hella perverted and weird, but a more dominated part of my mind was telling me to just stay here and gaze at him.. like stargazing but not since he was a human being and not some ball of fire thrown around in space at random.

His expression was dull, but looked incredibly warm at the same time. Don't get me wrong, I'm able to see how attractive he is when he's running his mouth like a dumbass—but now that he was calmly sleeping I was able to admire his features in closer detail. His face and skin were so clear and handsome that it added to his distinctive looks. In contrast to his brother, he wasn't charming in the eyes of the majority population—but he was charming to me. He was my own little charming nerdy idiot and I was pleased with that. Do I wish he opened his big mouth to me sooner? Yeah.. all the time. Does it make me pissy at times? Sure it does, but only to myself in my head. Part of me likes to wonder if we would've been together if we spoke at a much earlier time, like ninth year earlier, or if he would've thought I was some weird ignorant obsessive jerk that he never would've been into.

My eyes then moved down to his stomach, which had his phone laying on it face down. He had the device secured with one hand on top of the other.

And my god.. his hands were something else.

I'm not saying I'm some weirdo who's overly into hands, but I kind of am at the same time.

I could see his defined joints and bones through the structure of his crooked fingers, and the subtle shape of his veins that ran through the back of his palm and up into his forearm and eventually faded before reaching the elbow. That kind of stuff made me feel all warm and gushing on the inside, especially in my stomach. I couldn't help but wonder what weird things those hands could do to me if they were given the chance.

I eventually snap out of the odd little trance I was in and softly grabbed his hands to move them off of his phone. I was curious to see what he was listening to before he woke up, since I would never get a chance to see what sort of music he was into if he was awake. Once I was able to grab his phone I carefully turned it over and tapped the screen to wake it up. Can I See You Tonight, Eyedress. My eyebrow raised before I glanced at Kou. Who would've thought he was into all that calming lover type music from America, because I definitely wouldn't have thought so. I thought he would've been more into that weird older band stuff like what my uncle listens to, such as Aion or Outrage. My eyebrows then rested as I noticed that he had a picture of me as his background. I've never seen it before, so he must've taken it when I was in my element and not paying attention to my surroundings. I then shook my head and softly scoffed before placing his phone back down in the position it was in before I tampered with it. "Kou.." I softly spoke out to him as I put a hand on his forehead, his eyes tightening as his eyebrows narrowed. "I have your soup—" My hand reached for one of his earbuds, softly pulling it out of his ear before grabbing his phone again so I could pause the song. It was a good song and I didn't want him to miss out on the rest of it when he got back to the streaming app later on. "Wake up lame-o, you have to eat.. then you can sleep." I try my best to keep my voice all calming and soft, keeping in mind that he was extremely tired. "Sleep.." Kous voice softly mutters as it escapes from his half asleep, partially parted lips. "I know.. but soup." My hand moves down to his cheek before I stand up. "Maybe if you catch a whiff of it you'll wake up.." I smile and walk over to his desk, retrieving the bowl off of the tray and walking back over to Kou. I purposely tried to position it in a way that he'd be able to smell it, and sure enough he did. His tired eyes opened up and he slowly sat up, "Soup.." He mutters in a tired tone and holds his hands out so he can hold the bowl. "Yeah, soup." I smile and grab the tray off of his desk, setting it up over his lap and placing the bowl down.
