Next morning, Yasuo woke up to the familiar presence by his side. During the night they ended up tangled together in this particular fashion they had. He guessed this was the reason his head rested comfortable on Yi's chest.

The magic in it was that everything changed in their relationship and yet all was the same when it came to their sleeping habit. The warmth of the contact spread to his being.

Slowly but surely waking up, Yasuo stretched before nuzzling against the latter's neck. How easily he could do it wasn't a matter anymore, now that it was stated they loved each other. But he remembered his own hesitation and guilt when nothing was sure. When he thought he was cheating destiny.

But it was over. Now he was allowed. I want to do so much. Things he didn't dare before.

To be able to reach for Yi without any reason, except the need of contact.

To use endearments till the latter blushed.

To kiss him everywhere, each available expanse of skin, as many time as he would like.

To shower him with attention.

To kiss him….

Just trying to imagine this was enough to make his heart do funny things. Yasuo had yet to discover how sentimental he could get. Shit, so sappy.

He rose a little to look at Yi, still asleep. The very first thought to come hit him as hard as before : Gods, I love him. No particular reason to think that right now but everytime he let his gaze fall on the latter, his heart leaped of joy.

So it makes me the luckiest man of Runeterra.

A small urge made Yasuo bring his hand to Yi's face, stroking his cheek in a fond manner. He couldn't explain the need to touch, it was so strange.

He didn't expect to wake Yi, though it seemed logical that his gesture would disturb his sleep. Yasuo just didn't thought about it.

Yi stirred, opening his eyes then lazily turned his gaze to Yasuo. Seeing so much affection directed to him made Yasuo avert his gaze. But the latter managed to get his attention back, taking the hand caressing his cheek to give a peck to the palm.

« Good morning to you, too. »

Yi witnessed the inner burn-out caused by this innocent action. How Yasuo froze, so close to him, in a mild state of shock. We will not go very far if he keeps doing that, he chuckled to himself. By now, Yi knew a little push would be needed sometimes. So he would gladly help.

Since Yasuo hadn't made a move yet, Yi took the initiative and rolled both of them over to swap positions. The latter's gaze widened when he registered he was indeed under Yi. The cheer confusion Yi read on his face made feelings blossom once again in his chest. So warm, so fuzzy, he dived to press a kiss to Yasuo's cheek, his temple, the scar on his nose, everywhere. Yi relished this instant, to give so much, knowing it was welcome.

Under this passionate assault, Yasuo felt his heart melt, aching oh so sweetly. It has been a long time since someone gave him affection so openly. He wanted to reciprocate, to touch too, to make sure it was real. Make sure he is real.

Yasuo repeated the first action and rolled them over again. Mirrored surprise painted Yi's face, along with a lovely blush. So so perfect. It was Yasuo's turn, seizing his kind revenge to give back an equal treatment. Light kisses were left all over Yi's face, quick and precise, a thorough worship. Yasuo even went lower, tasting the skin of his neck, the collarbone, till his lips met clothing.

A soft sigh made its way out of Yi and it only prompted Yasuo to redouble his efforts. Instead of violence to repay violence like he learned during the war, he could pay back with love and attention. Another idea came to Yasuo's mind and he couldn't let it pass. Keeping up his gentle display, he ran his hands to Yi's sides, stroking. Then he spurred into action and began to tickle him with frightening accuracy.

Yi's reaction was instantaneous, tensing as he tried to stop himself from laughing : « Stop that ! » He couldn't help it, writhing under the other man.

« I didn't know you were ticklish. Good to know. » Yasuo sounded so pleased with the noisy outburst. He didn't stop the torture, maintaining the tension to leave Yi no occasion to recover. Blessed gods, his noises.

« I am not ! But you're sure as hell making me ! Stop, please ! » he wheezed. Trying to get a hold on himself and his composure was a lost fight. But if he was forced to use strenght to get out of this, he would.

Yasuo couldn't get over all he got out of Yi, his laugh ringing in his ears like a melody.

« I give you until 3. Then you'll better stop or I put you down. » said with short breath. This was his last attempt before losing it, after that he would have to get rough. « One ! »

Okay okay !

Not even a second later, Yasuo stopped. Not that he was truly afraid but he still didn't want to push Yi further. Ayyy better not try him. And he wouldn't risk to get his ass kicked for non compliance.

Yi at last could breathe without trouble. One more time, he switched their positions to straddle Yasuo. Yi took the latter's hands and pinned them to either side of his head, not letting go.

« Good choice. I resent having to use violence to solve a conflict, so thank you. But don't think you're out of the woods yet. »

Oooops he's mad.

The nervous giggle escaping Yasuo wasn't intended. Suddenly, he was scared for himself. Not that he was ticklish but if tried hard enough, he would be rendered helpless. Not unlike what he just did to Yi. Help.

But it seemed like Yi opted for something else. He leaned down, just over Yasuo's face, appreciating the impressed gaze meeting his. Under him, the latter held his breath at this short distance, eager mouth hovering over his. There was a claim to be made. Certain of the outcome, Yasuo closed his eyes, not sure he could handle that.

Then the move was made : after considering the flustered man, Yi pressed a kiss to the corner of his mouth. Not quite what they wanted but enough. Not ready yet. As quick, Yi rose to leave him some space, letting go of his hands. Yasuo was just registering the unkiss as he brought a curious hand to the spot touched, like it was still present.

Admiring his handiwork, Yi saw the blush intensified. Well, not today it seems. We will try another time.

Aware of his position on top of Yasuo, he moved to his side. A small thought crossed his mind, indecent but present nonetheless. Yi decided it was a bit soon to get out of bed so he lay down next to Yasuo, in need for a cuddle.

It got Yasuo out of his stupor, as he welcomed closer his bedmate.

Innerly, he was screaming.
