I'm... Not dead?
I had an idea for this oneshot ages ago and I've finally gotten off my lazy ass to write it. It's written in a waaay different style than my normal one so I hope you enjoy it
Warning: Implied KaRe Fluff? Not much else, I'm afraid.

Night time was a time of ritual; a time when the harsh, bright rush of the day faded into cool night.
Night time was a time of calm; a time when the labours and callous words of the day were forgotten in the habitual movements of the household as it prepared for rest.
Night time was a time that Rei cherished. He relished in the clatter of the dishes as they were washed after the meal. He delighted in the everyday cacophony of people moving around the house preparing for the end of the day. He loved the ritual that was night.
Night time was a time when ritual, impossible in the unforgiving sunlight could be followed without question. A time of secrets.
Rei loved the secret night, the night that held the world to a code of silence, He loved the way the night wrapped all in a cloak, concealing things best left hidden.
The silence of night. This was Rei's saviour. The night didn't tell of his rituals and he did not reveal the secrets the night held dear. A perfect circle of protection.
The night did not tell of his bed, kept warm only until the silence of the house was absolute.
The night could not tell of the long journey across cold wooden floors.
The night kept secret the slow pulling back of covers and the low groan of protest as warmth, trapped by the blankets, escaped from the occupant of the bed.
The night was indifferent to sleepy arms reaching up and pulling Rei down into a warm embrace.
As Kai and Rei slept, warmed be the same blanket, the night protected them, sealed in secret ritual.
