"I have fallen." No.6, Temptation
It was around 3:30 in the morning when Shion had finally begun to stir. He rolled over and rubbed his eyes before meeting them with Nezumi's. Nezumi walked over and handed him a bowl once he sat up. Shion rubbed his eyes again before examining the food closely.
"What time is it?" he wondered.
"Three thirty two," Nezumi smiled.
Shion counted backwards in his head, seeing how many hours he'd been out.
"Sorry I fell asleep, Nezumi." He apologized. He took the bowl and let it warm his hands. He furrowed his brow in confusion. "This is still warm?" he pondered.
"Yeah, I kept heating it in case you woke up. Thankfully you did."
"It smells good," Shion noted. He took a small bite, testing the water and decided it tasted good too. He proved to be very hungry, as Nezumi watched him try to pace himself, but finish the whole bowl in under 5 minutes anyways. He looked at Nezumi wide eyed one he was through and stated, "That was delicious."
"I cooked for myself before you got here, you know."
"Yes, well…" Shion started.
"The only reason I don't do it anymore is because you're usually so willing. It seems to be something you enjoy, so I let you cook for me. Don't let his go to your head."
"Okay," Shion grinned sheepishly.
After eating, Shion lay back down and told Nezumi that he could join him. Nezumi dismissed the offer for now, and told Shion to rest. He opened a book and crossed his legs as he sat on the small red couch where Hamlet soon joined him. He read for a while, until he heard Shion breathing heavily and decided that he should probably join his sleeping companion as it was almost 5 by now. He guessed he was sort of tired, and that exhaustion would probably greet him once he put his head on his pillow.
He then replaced the book on the shelf, and Nezumi crossed the room and sat carefully on the edge of the bed to remove his boots. He unlaced them skillfully and sat them quietly next to the nightstand. He then turned around to see Shions sleeping face. So vulnerable, he thought. So delicate and oblivious…
He reached down to trace his fingers along the scar that stained Shion's cheek. Shion stirred beneath him but stilled after a moment. Nezumi sighed and lay down gently next to Shion, facing him. The thick blanket of lashes that hugged his cheeks twitched as he dreamt. Nezumi smiled to himself and wondered what sort of things Shion dreamed about. Was it No.6? Or maybe that whore Safu… It was then that the corner of Shions mouth curled up in a silly looking half smile, and he whispered "Nezumiiii…"
Nezumi's eyed widened and answered "Yes?" quietly incase Shion were actually awake. When no response came, Nezumi swallowed the fact that Shion was dreaming about him. This pleased him immensely, but he'd never share that with anyone. In fact, he'd try to forget he even felt it.
Shion stirred once more and this time grumbled, "Nezu…I- stopppi-". He rolled over to lay on his back, and raised his hand to wipe his face. Sweat? Nezumi wondered? He leaned in, and sure enough, little droplets of sweat nestled neatly across Shion's creamy skin. A dream about me that would cause him to sweat? What was he saying just now? Ugh.
Desire flooded through the blue haired boy, and he fought with himself about what to do now. He should simply dismiss it just as he did with everything else Shion said in his sleep. Just roll over and fall into a dream himself. His actions were against his thoughts though, as he leant in and pressed his lips against Shion's. Shion made no movement at first, and after a moment, Nezumi retreated. He figured he was off the hook until Shion wrapped his arms around Nezumi's shoulders and pulled him back down for another kiss. "Nezu…" Shion mumbled once more.
Taken aback, Nezumi stumbled backwards, cupping the back of his neck with his palm anxiously. Shion sat up on the small bed, tangled in a rather messy display of the blanket he'd been given earlier. He looked contemplative, as if trying to remember something, and then shifted his gaze to Nezumi. His brows knitted together and his crimson eyes glowed in the dim light of the small room. "What the heck?" he questioned.
A strange feeling approached Nezumi, starting in the pit of his stomach and erupting from his lungs as he held his sides and doubled over. "Shion, my god.." he gasped between guffaws, "You almost gave me a fucking heart attack!" Shion, at this point, looked disgruntled and even more tired than before. He was probably unsure of why the hell he was even awake, let alone why Nezumi had gone and lost his marbles all of a sudden.
Nezumi caught his breath and approached the boy who wore a humorous look of confusion plastered on his face. He cupped one of his cheeks in his palm and ran the pad of his thumb yet again over the pink snake that held Shion in its coils. He leant forward and pressed his lips to the others, cocking his head to the side, guiding Shions mouth to open and soon feeling his tongue slick against his own. Not only did Shion not pull away and grimace, he allowed Nezumi to kiss him. He even kissed back with a hunger that sort of…. frightened him. He pulled away to allow the white haired boy an explanation.
"I was just-"
"Kissing without telling?" Shion interjected.
"No, well, yes. You're rather desirable in your sleep and I just..."
"What part is your favourite, my obnoxious snores or streams of drool?" Shion frowned.
Nezumi's jaw fell slack.
"Neither of those things was just happening. Nor do they ever." Nezumi assured him.
Shion huffed and leaned back down on the mound of pillows. He scratched his forehead softly and yawned in sincere exhaustion. This was the second time he'd been awoken on Nezumi's account. Nezumi willed him to return back to his dreams, the ones that apparently had a very familiar man character. Which reminded him of his chance to see the smaller boy blush, and it was an opportunity that simply couldn't wait until the sun came up, which he knew would be soon.
"Before I come get in bed with you and we both pretend this never happened…" he shifted his gaze to the floor, "What where you dreaming about just now?"
Bright red crept up Shions neck up over to flush his face. He blushed to the tips of his very ears. He covered his face and rubbed up and down, and then gave Nezumi a look of raw embarrassment. As if pretending he didn't remember, he studied his nails. He then stuck a finger in his mouth to chew at the cuticle- a nervous habit. "Er," he pulled the finger out of his mouth, "I don't remember."
"Liar," Nezumi retorted.
"Okay, boy genius. You tell me what I was dreaming of then!" Shion said impatiently.
Nezumi clasped his hands together at the small of his back and bent down so that his lips were mere breaths away from Shion's ear when he cooed, "Me? You were dreaming of me, weren't you? Or am I deeply mistaken?"
Shion bit his lip and looked at Nezumi like he might die of embarrassment. Oh this is too good, Nezumi thought to himself. The expression on Shion's face was priceless, and he hoped he realized that Nezumi would probably never let this go. Accepting the harsh reality that was loving a drop dead flawless egomaniac, Shion squeaked "You aren't mistaken."
"Mmmm, I didn't think so" Nezumi murmured. He took the flesh of Shion's soft neck into his mouth and sucked in earnest, causing Shion to inhale sharply. Pulling away, his eyes liquid silver and lips plump and moist, he kissed the boy until Shion gasped for more air than he could possibly supply himself through his own nose.
They continued this for a while. Taking turns to take whatever action would make the other moan in appreciation. No sound was ever the same, and though they were just kissing and touching, licking and biting; it really never grew tiresome. Shion seemed to have enough fuel to go on all night since he'd had the chance to rest. Nezumi on the other hand, hadn't slept a wink. He supposed it was his own fault, as it was. Needless to say it was him to bring their rather heated snogging session to a close.
"Sorry Shion, I suppose I should let you rest." He breathed.
"Mmmm,"Shion hummed.
He yawned and Nezumi lay on the bed next to him, wrapping his arms around his shoulders. Shion nuzzled up into Nezumi's neck and kissed his adam's apple softly before whispering "'Night, Nezumi… See you in the mornin'"
Nezumi smiled to himself. He was unsure that he could form words to describe how pleased he was in this moment, so he decided he would wait until he could form proper thoughts before trying again. Minutes later, their soft snores echoed throughout the room in harmony, as Nezumi finally joined Shion in slumber. Tonight there would be no reason for nightmares, and it goes without saying that it would be a sweet break for them both.
