Shotgun Wedding Log: A Nighttime Visitor
Keiji was only too happy to curl his hand around Mikoto's and follow him to the bedroom. He didn't have much more insulation than his lover, so he was also very interested in getting out of the cold air, and under some warm covers. He climbed into the bed pretty much immediately, then got his arms around the blond. "Mmm... I think it got even colder on the way here!" He complained lightly.
"We should have just said 'fuck it' to taking care of ourselves and ran straight here," Mikoto whines. He turns on his heated blanket that's under the sheets -- it's probably too warm to keep it on all night, but he turns it on, and sets up the timer for it to automatically turn off in 30 minutes, just to get their poor bones started on the path to warmth.
"Maybe... but then we would have been mad at ourselves... and cold because our hair was wet." Keiji responded, though he was so not going to complain about that heated blanket being turned on. Warmth was definitely needed right now, from every source possible.
The blond sighs, mostly at Keiji's stubborn insistence on bringing logic into things. And, as such, rather than dignifying that reason with a proper response, he instead boops Keiji's nose with a finger.
Keiji's eyes crossed for a second, watching that finger, then laughed at the action. "I'm surprised that didn't come along with a 'boop'." He said, pretty amused by the gesture, even without the sound effect.
"The boop was implied," Mikoto replies, not caring if that makes any sense at all. The slight delay between turning on the heated blanket and actually FEELING some warmth is finally over, and he just snuggles in close to Keiji while they warm up.
That statement brought a small smile to Keiji's lips, but he didn't say anything more about it as he just enjoyed snuggling with Mikoto, slowly warming up along with his lover.
Once things are no longer frigid, Mikoto has a query that he often asks, "Ne, Keiji-kun, how tired are you feeling?" He knows better than to assume that Keiji's not tired just because he isn't, so he has to check.
"Mmmmmm...... tired enough to not want to do anything energetic, but awake enough to talk coherently?" Keiji responded, hoping that would explain his feelings adequately.
Mikoto smiles at that description, because it sounds like the predictable next thing that he wants is probably ok for a bit, "Then~ Can I lie down on your chest for a bit?"
Keiji was feeling pretty warm and relaxed at the moment, and the request didn't send any nerves through him, so he was able to answer pretty much immediately, "Yeah, you can do that." So saying, the singer unwrapped his arm from around Mikoto and laid on his back so that the blond could move into the position that he wanted.
"Yatta~" Mikoto replies, and once Keiji is comfy-- he doesn't immediately move over. Because most of the time Keiji pulls him on top rather than him actually crawling up there on my own. "Hm? Is it ok for me to just go?"
Maybe it was the fact that he was just feeling that relaxed, but Keiji didn't even think about the fact that this was different than normal. "Hmm? Oh! Yeah, it's okay." He agreed, holding his arms out just enough for Mikoto to cuddle into his chest.
The blond definitely takes that opportunity, although he's cautious, moving slowly and sensually to make sure he doesn't bring up any bad memories along the way. Soon enough, he's got his ear on Keiji's chest, listening to his lover's heartbeat, and just relaxing fully there on top of him.
That slow, sensual crawl made Keiji smile as he watched. It certainly looked and felt nothing like any of his negative memories. And when Mikoto settled against his chest, the model pressed his face against that blond hair, breathing in the fresh scent of his lover's shampoo and conditioner. Didn't matter that his own hair smelled the same way, this scent very clearly read as 'Mikoto' for him, and he loved it. It made him relax even further, and he got his arms comfortably around his lover, holding him close.
"Mm~" Mikoto sighs contentedly, loving this position soooo much. He could absolutely fall asleep here, just from the security and comfort of it, though he won't let himself drowse off because he doesn't want to cause Keiji any discomfort.
Honestly, while his mind was clear, Keiji also wouldn't mind falling asleep this way. Maybe, one day, they would be able to, but he wasn't sure what would happen if he woke up that way. Unfortunately, he thought it might not be a positive experiment just yet. Slowly, he petted one hand through Mikoto's hair, just enjoying the calm, happy moment.
The blond doubles down on his first reaction, "Mmm~ this is so comfy." He loves Keiji's body under his, the gentle rhythm of the man's chest rising, those hands in his hair, just everything~
"It does feel really good." Keiji agreed warmly. "I love moments like this, together." He confirmed, continuing to pet his lover's hair.
"...Me too," Mikoto replies, the slight hesitation just because it's such a genuine admission, and being open is still something of a challenge for him. They've really been working hard to be able to squeeze in time together, so having basically a full day together feels like a luxury.
Keiji smiled at that admission, glad to hear it, especially when it was such an intimate thing for the blond to say. "This has been such a good day." He said. Sure, it had started out with some terror for him, but everything after that had been wonderful, and if that passing fear had been his price for today, he was glad to have paid it.
"Agreed," Mikoto replies -- and even that fear he'd caused Keiji had passed quickly and they had a plan for next time that should make it easier for them to spend more time together. Which reminds him, "Besides, I'm sure you'll find yourself over here more when Summer comes anyways~"
"Oh?" Keiji responded, his mind clearly not on the same wavelength as Mikoto's. Not that he was against the idea, obviously.
Mikoto smiles to himself, before reminding his boyfriend, "I have air conditioning and use it liberally~ And when I'm hot I have a tendency so strip~"
Keiji laughed lightly at that reasoning. "Okay, yeah, that's a very good reason. And with Setsuna-san touring a good bit of the summer, Kaiya can easily stay across the hall without worry on most school days." He added, obviously not wanting to subject his sister to their much hotter apartment unnecessarily (especially if *he* wasn't suffering along with her).
"Yes! So it works out perfectly~ So you'll just have to camp out here over summer, ne?" Mikoto replies. And yes, he's fully hiding behind this excuse to snatch the chance to have Keiji around more.
That very enthusiastic reply made Keiji smile happily. Truly, he felt very loved and desired. "Yes, definitely." He agreed, giving Mikoto a hug, then a kiss to the top of his head.
The blond smiles cutely (something sadly his lover can't really see from this angle) at the sweet affection coming his way, and closes his eyes again. He says, "Let me know when you wanna go to sleep, ok?" Because he's probably going to stay right here until that decision.
"Hmmm... I'll try. Can't promise to not fall asleep with you right there, though, if we get really comfy." Keiji responded. He did like the way that they normally slept together, though, so he would probably do his best to let his boyfriend know when he was getting that sleepy.
Mikoto blinks, since he is really comfy, but he knows there are downsides to this position for Keiji - although it sounds like his lover is getting ever more used to it. "Well... if I notice you're asleep, I'll try to slip off without waking you up." He knows it would be a bad idea for the singer to wake up and find himself *underneath* someone.
Keiji smiled at that response and pressed another kiss to his lover's hair. "Thanks. I'll probably be able to tell you, though. Especially since I like falling asleep with you tucked into me." He added, though he clearly wasn't too worried about that at that second.
"So do I," Mikoto agrees, although technically he prefers being wrapped up in Keiji. Whatever, the point comes across, obviously. He just finds this position super relaxing - and it is a small concession from Keiji to him, which gives him more confidence in their relationship as well.
Keiji understood that Mikoto just meant he enjoyed the same position he was talking about, so it was fine. He drew in a slightly deeper breath, then let it out in a contented sigh and gave his lover a hug. With the heated blanket below, Mikoto held close, and the covers above, he was actually, finally, starting to properly warm up.
"We should have just said 'fuck it' to taking care of ourselves and ran straight here," Mikoto whines.
