My first entry for my 15pairings challenge. Theme: morning after.
Notes: First time writing in almost a year and first time writing for Saiunkoku Monogatari. This came a lot easier than I expected it to… Kouyuu and Shuuei are fun to play with.
This was unbeta’d, so if a sentence sounds off, or I messed up on characterization, please send me a message so I can fix it. :)

Ri Kouyuu was uncertain how he had ended up in his current predicament. He was fairly sure an overabundance of alcohol the evening before had something to do with it. As it was, last night in its entirety was one massive blur. He remembered Shuuei dragging him out to drink with him, but that was as far as his recollections extended.
Kouyuu curled into himself, trying not to think about the fact that his clothes were missing, he was not in his own bed, and was, in fact, not alone in said bed.
He didn’t even have the energy to rage in reaction. His head was throbbing and his body was sore in places it really shouldn’t be.
He wondered if it was possible to die of embarrassment. If so, surely this, of all things, would warrant such an outcome.
Kouyuu shifted to sit up, his muscles twinging uncomfortably in protest. He didn’t dare look to see who occupied the other side of the bed. He froze when the body beside him shifted, obviously awakening.
In a panic, Kouyuu grabbed the sheet tangled at his feet and quickly covered his nude body, mindless to the fact that such an action was pointless at this juncture. He drew his knees to his chest as though that could keep out everything else. He buried his red face in his crossed arms. Mortification coursed through him unparalleled.
He felt the mattress dip as weight was redistributed, the person in bed with him shifting to a sitting position. He heard a chuckle and felt a light tug on his arm, but refused to acknowledge the action. He found the warm, obviously nude, chest suddenly leaning against his back a little more difficult to ignore. The strong arms circling his shoulders lightly were a pleasant distraction.
“Oh, come now, Kouyuu. Am I that awful a companion to wake up beside?”
Kouyuu growled out an affirmative, still refusing to uncurl himself and face his longtime friend.
“You know, you were so much more compliant last night,” Shuuei gave an exaggerated sigh in mock disappointment.
“SHUEII!” Kuoyuu shouted, startled from his protective position. He tried unsuccessfully to pull away. “Y-Y-YOU-!” He was silenced by a quick kiss and the gentle smile on his friends face. “ARGH!” Kouyuu buried his flaming face in his hands, simply unable to process everything.
After several moments of silence, which Kouyuu had taken to calm himself down, he cleared his throat and willed away the redness in his cheeks. “Do I even want to know what happened last night?”
“Probably not,” Shuuei confirmed, failing to hide his amusement at the situation. “Suffice it to say, we both had more to drink than we probably should have.”
“Wonderful,” Kouyuu grumbled, but relaxed into his companion’s embrace.
“Personally, I think we should try it sober sometime-“
Kouyuu shoved a pillow in his face to silence him.
