"Shuuuuu-iiiiiiiiii-chiiiiiii!" Whispered Ryuichi.
"Shuuuuu-iiiiiiiiii-chiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" He tried again, but there was still no response.
Kuma, being more experienced when it came to this kind of thing resorted to poking.
It didn't work. The truth was Yuki had agreed to let Shuichi sleep in his bed whenever he wanted, but Shuichi chose to continue sleeping on the couch. This was not due to any ergonomic significance of the couch, rather that Yuki was a . . . 'restless' sleeper. The few times Shuichi had remained in bed with his lover had resulted in Shuichi having an unnatural immunity to poking/kicking/other during sleep.
"Kumagarou, it didn't work!" Pointed out Ryuichi.
Kuma deigned to reply that perhaps they needn't whisper since their intention was to wake Shuichi up anyway.
"Shuichi!" Piped up Ryuichi in a normal voice. "K is coming! He has a gun!"
No response.
"A biiiig gun!"
No response.
"A truck load of pocky crashed outside the studio 'n theres pocky everywhere . . . "
No response.
". . ."
"Yuki is here to see you, Shuichi. . . " Ryuichi tried at Kuma's suggestion. Ryuichi didn't know why Shuichi liked spending so much time with that meanie-head Yuki but Kuma knew about this kind of stuff.
No response.
"Oh no! Kumagarou, do you think he's under some kind of spell?" Asked Ryuichi, immediately searching the room for a spinning wheel. Not that he knew what a spinning wheel was. That thing in the corner might be one for all he knew! Ryuichi gave Hiro's guitar a wide berth as he moved over to start poking Shuichi again.
"Kumagarou. It's just like that fairy tale! Sleepless Beauty! He needs a kiss to wake up!"
". . ."
"What's that Kumagarou? You're a prince? Why didn't you tell me sooner?!"
Ryuichi gently lowered Kumagarou down until his lips touched Shuichi's.
No response.
Ryuichi wasn't surprised. Kumagarou might be royalty, but he was a lousy kisser. Not that Ryuichi would ever tell Kumagarou that. Best not to even think it because Ryuichi suspected Kumagarou was also a mind reader."
" . . . maybe human princesses need human princes and your kiss only works on bunny princesses." Consoled Ryuichi, hoping Kuma wasn't upset.
Kuma didn't seem upset at all thankfully (because Kuma was pretty frightening when he was angry).
"Maybe I should try!" Cheered Ryuichi, Sure he wasn't a prince like Kumagarou, but he was Kumagarou's particular friend so maybe some of the royalty rubbed off. Kuma agreed it was worth a try.
Ryuichi quickly dipped down and pecked Shuichi on the lips.
No response.
". . . "
"What does 'slip him the tongue' mean na no ka?" Ryuichi asked Kumagarou, genuinely confused.
". . . "
"KUMA NO ECHII!" Kumagarou took a flying lesson compliments of Ryuichi Airlines (not his first).
Cheeks still burning Ryuichi turned back to the sleeping Shuichi.
"It's no good Kumagarou! He won't wake up!"
". . ."
"No Kuma! We can't leave him! Tohma is coming!"
". . ."
"No Kuma! If Tohma catches Shuichi sleeping he'll. . . " Actually when ever Tohma found Ryuichi sleeping he just kinda woke him up. . . but Ryuichi had already tried every humanely possible method he could think of to wake Shuichi up so who knew what kind of inhumane ones Tohma would come up with! Probably involving bugs! And Mika! And one of those catering sized jars of mint jelly! Tohma was scary like that . . . " Best not to think about it Kumagarou!" Admonished Ryuichi. "It's up to you and me to get Shu- chan out of here alive!"
~~**~~~***~~~~****~~~~~***~~~~**~~
"No tongue!!" Screamed the ventilation duct above Tohma's desk in a suspiciously Ryuichi-esque tone of voice followed by various scraping and thumping noises which could only be attributed to someone dragging a body through the confined space. Well technically it could also be the noise the expresso machine made last week when someone (no names mentioned) jammed it full of stuffed, pink, rabbit but that was unlikely to happen again while Ryuichi still remembered that Kumagarou had to go through the washing machine (Kuma hated washing) three whole times (Kuma kept count)!
"Don't worry Shuichi! We'll find your prince!"
Tohma decided not to dwell on this since Ryuichi wasn't working today and Shuichi had been given the day off after accidentally taking an adult dose of Tylenol. Best . . . not to think about it. When you started to think about these things you started to see patterns, then logic, and then it was all downhill as a grown man conversing with a stuffed pink bunny seemed just fine . . . Tohma decided to pencil in an appointment with his psych, just in case.
