Sleep Walking (Riren)

An: Ik some people are probably awaiting the smut so bE pAtiEnt. It'll be out soon as possible.

------

This had to be the fifth time this
week.

I was due for a coffin in the morning. This was seriously not a good time to wake up.

Heichou's chest drifts up and down, merely inches from me as I feel my eyes flutter open. The rustle of the sheets make my breath catch. Dammit. I can't believe it... I shut my eyes tight, hoping, praying he doesn't awake from his slumber. That blissful slumber that shows a softer side of my beloved Captain. His harsh exterior dropped and his face soft. I'd been sleepwalking for almost a week and everytime I found myself in the Corporal's bed. Usually by the time I woke up he was gone and hadn't noticed me or decided I wasn't worth punishing. But I didn't like risking it.

A soft hum, then the sheets ruffle again. He's a sleep. Thankfully.

Opening my eyes, I see that the Captain had shifted to where he's now facing me. That face so beautiful and at this angle it is even better. His lips look soft and with him lying down he almost seems taller.

Almost.

I want to smile at the sight before me. His hair usually so stiff and never out of place, slightly dishevelled in front. I'm tempted to brush his bangs. His breathing is calm and the pitter patter of rain outside makes everything seem so much more... Special.

Like a single noise could break the magic.

I go to turn over, thinking its better to just go to sleep than try and part from his bed. It seems he's always so hypersensitive when I'm trying to get away from him. Like he doesn't want me to go.

Now I'm just being silly.

But maybe I'm not.

I feel his arms stop me from moving, my heart jumping from my chest to my throat. Then stage-diving into the pits of my stomach as I shake. I go to speak but am cut off as he pulls me close to him. I'm back on my side now, my chin resting on his shoulder as he squeezes me to him.

My arms are trapped at my sides and I feel sweat start to bead on the side of my face. What am I suppose to do about this? I grumble silently in my head.

I feel his hand touch the bend of my back, my body arching away at the soft touch. Then his hand trails upward and holds me still, as if expecting me to try and escape. Why- Why is he touching me like this? I had thought he was awake but now it seems he's still sleeping. A soft hum rises from him again and I feel my face flush. Heichou is touching me. I knew that but now I'm realising just how serious this is. Oh my goodness- if he awakes I'm in for a world of hurt...

His tight hold grows ever so tighter, like an iron wall that's wrapped around me protectively.  Arms I know are strong enough to not let go. My ear grow hot as well and I'm tempted to shake my head in hopes of shaking away such childish thoughts.

I really am a brat.

Pushing at him gently, I try and break his grasp- even if it's to end in my demise I'd rather get it over and done with. Thanks to my stupid sleepwalking, I'd been ending up in so many life or death situations with the Corporal.

"Stop wiggling brat. I'm trying to sleep."

My heart seems to stop. Then it's pounding so loud I can hear it as my blood rushes past my eardrums. The bed creaks as the Captain shifts in the bed, his hands still on me, never budging. I'm frightened and in love all at the same time. The way he's so strong yet so gentle. The way he-

"Answer me when I speak to you brat, I know you're awake."

"S-sorry!" I rasp out quietly as possible. My heart is still going a mile per beat and I feel my toes curls as he pulls back enough so we're looking face to face. Silver eyes to my green ones.
