Chapter 2 – Come cuddle (Angst/fluff prompt #95)
"Sessh?"
"Sesshhh!"
"Onii-sama!"
Sesshoumaru sighed, finally looking over at his little brother who was sitting up in bed with blankets drawn up to his chest, and puppy ears flicking restlessly.
"What is it, otouto?" he asked emotionlessly.
Inuyasha pouted, glaring up at the other man. "I have a cold!" he accused.
Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow. "So?"
"So I always get sick-time movie with onii-sama!" he reminded.
Sesshoumaru's face was still emotionless but his eyes glinted amusedly. "Is that so?"
Inuyasha nodded vigorously. "It's already so late. Look, the moon is almost overhead! Come cuddle?"
The demon Lord put down the file he was reading and walked over to the younger brother.
Inuyasha let out a happy little exclamation and immediately scooted forward on the bed.
The elder brother sat down behind him like he knew the younger wanted, and Inuyasha promptly leaned back into his chest, sighing happily. Sesshoumaru's one leg came up on one side of Inuyasha and the younger held on to the silk of his brother's clothing like he always did.
Sesshoumaru drew the blanket back up to the younger's chest and Inuyasha picked up the TV remote and switched the large flat-screen on.
"What are we watching?" Sesshoumaru asked, helping himself to the popcorn lying in a big bowl next to the hanyou.
"Princess Diaries!" Inuyasha announced with a sniffle, settling back more comfortably against his new warm seat.
The demon Lord's arm wound around Inuyasha's front and pulled him back just a little bit more against his chest, making Inuyasha let out an involuntary, contented whine.
Just a few minutes into the movie, Inuyasha felt a warm, wet sensation on one puppy ear and he gasped, leaning back to look up accusingly at the demon Lord.
Sesshoumaru was smirking, looking plenty pleased with himself, even as his lips brushed against the ear he had just taken into his mouth and nibbled.
"Sessh! No fair!" Inuyasha complained, jabbing the pause button on the remote. "You won't let me – let me do anything while I'm sick and- and you're getting me all worked up!"
"I don't know what you mean, otouto," Sesshoumaru lied blandly, reaching around the younger's torso to brush a clawed thumb against his chin.
Inuyasha threw the blanket off in a huff and prepared to scoot away from his evil elder sibling.
Sesshoumaru threw one leg over the younger's body, a steel-muscled calf pulling holding him in place against his body. "Where do you think you're going?" he asked menacingly, holding the struggling half-demon effortlessly against himself.
Inuyasha felt a shiver go down his spine that had nothing to do with being sick.
"Nuu! Let go!" Inuyasha protested, struggling against the implacable, but not uncomfortable weight on his comparatively slighter body.
"It's cold and you're warm and I'm comfortable," Sesshoumaru told him, "Be quiet and watch the movie."
Inuyasha gasped in outrage and glared at his brother. "H-hey! Sick-time movie is supposed to be for me, not for your own selfish gains!" he said.
Sesshoumaru didn't look at all remorseful and fed a bit of popcorn to the little brother that Inuyasha chewed grudgingly, all the while glaring at the elder.
"Big bully," he muttered, unpausing the movie and settling back against his brother's chest once more, hand resting on his brother's heavy, comforting leg lying across his torso.
Inuyasha didn't notice when his sniffling slowly lessened as the warmth from the elder's body seeped into his own. Half-way through the movie, he fell asleep against the elder, who tucked the blankets under his chin, and held him close for the rest of the night.
