"Britt?" The question floated softly through the stillness of the dark bed room. Britt laid on his side of the bed he shared with Kato, silent, but no where near asleep. On his back he listened, his eyes shut securely though.
"Britt, are you awake?" Kato asked again, his voice hushed, as to not wake the man next to him, only as to just see if he was in fact awake.
Britt didn't answer, he knew better by now. The first few times, weeks ago, when he was near sleep and Kato asked those questions, he answered. Once though, he didn't feel like having Kato say he forgot what he wanted to ask, he just laid there. He was glad he did.
Britt felt the bed move a little and he felt the presence of Kato looking at him, but his face gave nothing as to the fact he was awake. He could almost see in his mind Kato nodding, then the bed moved again. Kato moved Britt's arm up and snuggled into the cove there, his face pressed into the side of Britt's neck and gave a contented soft sigh.
These moments were cherished in Britt's mind. Kato would barley let him touch him during the day. When they had sex there was lots of touching, but almost as soon as they were both off, Kato would be two feet away. Britt was never a snuggler per say, but with Kato he wanted to be. There was just something about the man that made Britt want to take him in his arms and never let go.
In the morning, Kato would be on his own side of the bed or not even in bed anymore but Britt could care less at the present time. Right now all that mattered was he had the man of his dreams in his arms and he wouldn't change it for the world. Even if it was only at night.
