Summary: "I heard you Oishi~" Eiji had told him, eyes gleaming mischievous.

A/N:This got to be one of the most far-fetched prompts this far. Really. But I pulled my hair and really couldn't come up with something better than 'in the middle of the night', and since I just had written a lemon I just didn't feel like writing another one, and I just wanted this prompt out of the way since it has been quite bugging me in the FF chapter section for awhile. Sorry about that.

"Look Eiji, I did not…" he tried, defending himself, but Eiji was interrupting him before he had even reached his point.

"Did too," Eiji was grinning triumphantly, eyes gleaming with amusement as he hovered over Oishi, pinning the other male to the mattress in a playful manner. "I heard you nya," he added, grinning widely, more than enjoying himself and Oishi's distress.

"No, listen I…"

"Did too…"

Somehow Eiji seemed to read his thoughts, or just simply interrupted with the same statement, showing his doubles partner that whatever he said, Eiji just wouldn't change his mind on the matter. Flustered Oishi looked away, fixing his glance on his fish tank in order to collect his thoughts, in order to… in order to…

Eiji's hands were there in a blink of an eye, grabbing his chin and turning his head in order to make him look at his partner. Silently Oishi wondered how this all had started. Oh that was right, he had awoken, right in the middle of the night, due to a certain redhead laying atop of him, poking his cheek until he was somewhat awake. But he had somewhere in his still very sleepy mind noticed the Cheshire cat grin that was plastered all over Eiji's face, which was, mind you, not a very good sign at all.

"I heard you Oishi~" Eiji had told him, eyes gleaming mischievous before the acrobat had continued.

"I Heard you talking in your sleep nya…" Oishi felt his face become flustered as he stared up into amused orbs, swallowing hard while Eiji was nuzzling his neck. "Heard you call my name so softly… you were dreaming about me weren't you?" the Cheshire grin apparent on soft features.

"Did not!" Oishi breathed out in defence, but Eiji was there to counter his denial in a blink of an eye.

"Did too…"

…and now here they lay, throwing 'did not' and 'did too' at each other, with Eiji being the only one really enjoying the entire situation.

"It really wasn't his fault, though." Oishi figured. It was his standpoint that you can't really help what you dream about, that dreams was something your brain created while it was busy sorting out what had happened during the day. Dreaming was something you did unconscious and it was impossible to decide just what to dream about, why would you otherwise get those nasty nightmares every now and then?

But though he knew all that, it was still embarrassing and awkward none the less to be awoken by his boyfriend grinning widely and quoting words he had uttered in a not awaken state. Words he was unable to hold back while his stern control over his body temporarily was lost.

But on the other hand, they were together right? Even though it just happened recently he was allowed to dream about his boyfriend, wasn't he? And truth to be told, instead of looking angry our disgusted Eiji's was beaming happily in the tiny light from the lamp and wearing some kind of content smile on his face.

So Oishi gave in, as he usually seemed to do around Eiji and tangled one of his hands in red locks and heaved a sigh in defeat.

"So maybe I did," he admitted sadly, preparing himself for whatever that was to come. Instead Eiji's grin just widened even more and he felt soft lips briefly connecting with his own.

"I told you so," Eiji purred happily, breath ghosting over Oishi's face.

"I don't remember what though," Oishi used as a last defence, immediately regretting it. He should just have said that they had been playing a tennis match, or anything among those lines really, since well. It was better than not knowing at all, and he certainly didn't want any misunderstandings. How this entire thing could not be misunderstood in the first place.

But Eiji only laughed and nuzzled his neck again, strands of hair tickling his skin before the acrobat placing his head on top of his torso, a content smile placing over those soft lips.

"Silly…" he answered. "No one remembers what they dream about, do they?"

…and just like that the problem was solved, and he smiled softly as the redhead softly drifted off to sleep above him, and he felt his eyes fluttering close as well. There were after all a few more hours before it was a decent time to wake up.

A/N: Well, obviously this takes place in the beginning in their relationship, Oishi not being quite comfortable with it all yet, Eiji just trying to make him relax. Or something. There is this slight possibility that Eiji just amused in a very Eiji-like way, but honestly, I have no idea myself and I hardly think it'll make any difference to try and analyse the stuff I have written myself… really…

I'll just leave that too you and you reviews.
