Hello everyone! =D
Yesterday I was listening to 'Every time We Touch' by Cascada and I got this urge to write something for Junjou 'cause I remembered a video I love with that song and the anime.
It's Usagi-san's POV so I hope I remained IC... ^^;
Disclaimer: I own nothing but what I wrote.
Ja ne,

Small Touches
I feel the bed shift, the mattress dips as you climb on it - I don't need to open my eyes to know it's you, who else could it be?
I hear you grumble darkly as you try to move Suzuki-san out of the way, and clumsily getting entangled in the sheets. I confess I had a hard time suppressing a smile at that: you seriously have no idea how adorable you are, no matter the situation. You have no idea how you make me feel—me, a grown man in his thirties... absurd isn't it?
A few seconds of complete silence passes and I can feel the slight trembling of your hand hover near my back even before you touch it; you back away - and I know that crimson blush is eating up your cheeks - and then finally you find the courage to rest those fingers on my shoulder... surely it's only because you're certain I'm already sleeping soundly.
You lay down a short distance from me and if I were to reach a hand back I would graze you without difficulty, but the warmth seeping into me from just that small, feather-like, touch in enough.
After all, this is your way of telling me that staying near me makes you feel better, makes you feel safe, that it calms you...
—And for the time being, I'm content just like this.
It's the small things such as this, once piled up together, that make it possible to build something great, that will last.
