Waking Up (& Settling Down) [Kazuichi x Fuyuhiko]

Bedtime

"Hey, Kuzuryuu?"

Souda received a faint huff from the shorter male beside him.

"Yeah?"

"Why do you dress so formally to bed?"

Kuzuryuu snorted. "Shut up."

Souda sighed and directed his attention to the ceiling.

A moment of silence passed between them before Souda spoke up again.

"Hey Kuzuryuu?"

Said male groaned. "Do you need somethin'?"

"Do you miss yer yakuza-gang-thing?"

About 5 seconds passed before he got a response.

"What the fuck, Souda."

Souda shifted his gaze to look at the back of the boy "sleeping" next to him.

"Hey Kuzuryuu?"

Kuzuryuu took a deep breath and turned to face Souda, expression clearly sending out the message 'I don't want to deal with this right now'.

"What. Do. You want, Kazuichi? Don't keep me up with these stupid ass questions."

"Do you love me?"

Kuzuryuu's face scrunched up in confusion. "That's your question?"

Souda quickly glanced away fiddling with his thumbs.

"Ah...yeah...?"

Kuzuryuu grunted and flopped on his back with crossed his arms, still looking at Souda.

"'Course I love you, idiot. Why else would I be here, puttin' up with your shit?"

Even with that lousy response, Souda felt his heart swell. He wrapped his arms around the smaller male, letting out a small squeal, and snuggled into the crook of his neck.

Kuzuryuu flinched, hating how his face lit up with a pink blush.

"Wh―what's gotten you so fuckin' cuddly?"

Souda snuggled closer, closing his eyes.

"Ah, nothin' much. I think I just realized how much I love you back."

Kuzuryuu scoffed, a small grin on his lips. Souda's smile widened as he felt Kuzuryuu lean down and press a small kiss to his forehead.

"Now go t'sleep."

Souda hummed in acknowledgement as both boys drifted off to sleep, smiles evident on their faces.

They both slept easier that night.
