Summary: Using coffee as an excuse to enjoy a rare quite morning.
Notes: Is supposed to be in Naru (Female Personality)'s POV but I don't specify so it could really be any of the other six (save the trigger-happy one of course ).
It is quiet. HE is in control for one, the others are all 'sleeping.' Though sleeping isn't really the word for what we do. Better would be 'unaware,' resting in the back of our shared consciousness. This morning it's just HIM, and me.
I watch through his eyes as he brings the steaming mug of black coffee to his lips. Watch as his eyes drift around the kitchen of our tiny apartment. His eyes don't rest on anything in particular, too busy mulling over thoughts I can't hear to pay any real attention to his surroundings.
Through his eyes I hear the muffled shuffling of socked feet coming down the hallway. Shinobu's eyes finally come to rest of the sleep-mussed figure in the doorway.
Itsuki gives us a small smile before entering the room without a word. The small sounds of the Youkai fixing another mug of coffee add to the comfort of the silence rather than break it.
Shinobu closes his eyes to exhale slowly over his own mug. When he reopens his eyes Itsuki has taken a seat across from us at the table and is cradling his coffee mug in his hands, absorbing the heat.
For a while there are no sounds save for the rustling of fabric and Shinobu sipping his coffee. It is as though all the sound is being captured by the snow falling outside the kitchen window. I almost feel that time has stopped inside this little bubble of silence Shinobu and Itsuki have built around themselves.
Shinobu takes a final sip of his coffee before offering a small grin to the man across the table. "Since when do you like coffee?"
Itsuki laughs and time starts again.
