snuggle with someonespecial

What better time than these cool, crisp mornings or rapidly lengthening nights to jump right under a warm blanket with that irreplaceable person in your life? Even if you're not sleeping together - heck, even if you've not been straight with your feelings and you're not officially an "item" - there's nothing wrong with cuddling up. Grab a book, get some hot cocoa, turn on the TV (if you're in an era where the tube's available), or just enjoy each other's presence on the couch or in the bed.

Comment with your character, preference, etc.

Nope... and honestly I look more cow than I do ox. My features are softer... oh, but I can still talk. So I guess it’s be more like having one of those animal companions in anime...?

[ why is this a bad thing again? because right now it sounds like a dream come true. reki can just imagine haru stampeding around while he clutches on to his tail and skates behind him and it's a total dream, not a nightmare.

and then, oh yeah. the shackles part. his smile fades, his eyes focusing on haru's face and the bandages he's carefully applied to it. ]

So you can't leave. No matter what I say or do.

Akito... he’ll find out sooner or later and instead of punishing me... he’ll take it out on you. And order hatorinii to make you forget I ever existed...

[ that is... honestly the most terrifying thing he's ever heard in his entire life. the idea of forgetting haru... it's awful and mortifying and yet it is absolutely worth losing the only person he's ever cared about to give haru the smallest glimpse of peace. he deserves so much more than that.

reki's eyes narrow. ]

I don't care.

You might not, but I do... [ he reached out to cup his face with both hands now. ]

I'm selfish... and I don't want you to forget about me.

[ reki sighs beneath haru's hands. it feels strange to be with him and have such a heavy heart, but neither of them are to blame and they're helpless to change anything.

well. there's one thing they have control over. reki places a hand over one of haru's, stroking softly. ]

Eat. Nothing's gonna happen right now.

I can't eat when I know you're looking so sad...

You'd better. I didn't slave away over a hot microwave for this.

[ here's a preview of what it'd be like to marry reki: he sighs, reaches for the chopsticks laid across the bowl, mixes it up til it's steaming again, then starts feeding him. forcibly, if he must. ]

Okay Fine...

[ Why is his wife so moody? He needs to be a better husband to Reki, that's for sure....

But he complies and opens his mouth when Reki holds the food up to him. ]

[ maybe if you took him somewhere nice, haru.

ugh, but reki can't let him not enjoy his meal. there has to be a positive spin he can put on all this miserable shit. think, think... ]

So all your cousins... They're like you?

[ Look, baby when he strikes it big—

Haru shifts a little closer to Reki, eating when he's being fed. ]

Mm...yeah.

Little Kisa too? What animal would she be?

[ no, haru, don't answer yet. the second he opens his mouth, reki's just going to shove more food inside it. ]

Oh. Rabbit? ... No, that doesn't feel right somehow. She doesn't look like one at all. Her eyes—

[ he snaps his fingers. ]

Tiger?

You're... not bad at this...

[ Reki was a lot better at guessing than Tohru was that's for sure. ]

That was an easy one. And you're the easiest one of all. Everything about you screams exactly who you are. You're so strong, but so gentle...

[ reki smiles softly. this feels better, happier, guessing animals and feeding this guy in his bed that he adores. he only meant to do it once or twice, but now he's just stuck in the rhythm, his mouth running and his hands moving. ]

And your eyes are so deep and it feels like they're older than the rest of you, like ancient old, timeless...

Are you sure I'm not just obvious because I'm spotted?

[ Look, it's okay if he makes fun of his own hair, not okay if others do...! haru just continues taking bites from reki's chopsticks. even if he hadn't meant to continue feeding him, haru was going to take it. ]

Right. There's that, I guess.

[ he's surprised when the chopsticks clink on the bottom of the bowl. he hasn't even been looking all this time; caring for someone like this comes so automatically to him. it's his love language.

he sets the bowl on his nightstand and licks his thumb, carefully cleaning off haru's face. ]

Will you lay with me for a little bit?

[ reki doesn't have to ask him twice. he carefully moves around on reki's bed until he was lying down beside him, an arm quickly draped over him as he gets more comfortable. ]

[ reki sighs as he settles against haru, half honest contentment and half still stuck on the misery of being helpless. but at least that sadness is softer here where he can pull haru's face against his chest and tangle up their legs like he never means to let him go—technically the truth, since he's not sure how he's going to let haru walk away no matter the consequences.

there are more immediate and pressing concerns, though: ]

Belly full?

Belly's full and feeling spoiled...

[ haru tilted his head to smile at reki. he knows... reki must have a million thoughts going on in his head right now, but... if he could at least alleviate one of them, maybe he'll look less burdened. haru reached out to stroke reki's cheek with that soft smile. ]

Thank you...

Good.

[ oh, that smile. it really is his biggest weakness. reki threads his fingers through haru's hair and sighs all over again. ]

If you wanna talk about it, just know I'll listen, Haru. But if you wanna forget...

[ he can do that. for him. he can trace haru's brows and lean down to kiss him until all haru has left in his world is just reki and his hands and his lips. ]

[ haru melted under those soft lips, returning the gentle kiss right back, as his arm moved to slip around reki's waist, and tugs him closer, so there really was no space between them. ]

You... can talk to me too... no matter what it is.

I know.

[ he works his hands down to haru's shoulders, careful. he doesn't know if any damage has been done anywhere else, so his fingers just slide for a second, his gaze watchful. then, they start kneading, massaging into muscle, careful not to bear down on bone. ]

You're all that's on my mind right now.

You know what’s on my mind right now?

[ he murmured softly, letting out a soft groan to the gentle touches, the kneading that Reki was doing for him right now. it was a good groan proven by the way haru’s face relaxed even further.]

How good your hands feel...

[ reki smiles softly. he figures it's a good groan anyway, considering how he can feel the tension bleeding out of haru's shoulders. he moves on to his neck too, squeezing into the muscle firmly. ]

Not bad, right?

If you keep this up, I think.... I might melt into your matress. Like a puddle.
