One day, Naofumi tires himself out, having had several sleepless nights, and he goes to a quiet corner of the village to nap. Without his armor on.
Luckily, L'Arc finds him. He blinks, a bit perplexed at Naofumi's choice of spot to nap…but he knows he just can't leave him like this…so he picks him up gently like a princess before going back.
Naofumi sleeps through the whole thing and wakes up a few hours later, rubbing his eyes, "Mm… Huh? How did I…?"
L'Arc smiles at him, "I found you and brought you back to bed. You slept for four hours, Kiddo."
Anxious, Naofumi sits up, "Ugh… I still have a lot of work to do…"
But L'Arc pushes him back down, "Oh no you don't. Back to bed."
He glares, "I'm fine."
"They told me you didn't sleep for at least three days," L'Arc narrows his eyes, his voice firm. Naofumi didn't have an excuse for that as L'Arc threatens, "Sleep. Or I'll make you."
Naofumi smirks, daring him to try as L'Arc smiles at the challenge, "You asked for it…"
L'Arc dives into bed with him, wrapping his arms around him so he can't get out. He feels Naofumi squirm in his arms before eventually settling down.
He slightly blushes once he realizes the position they're in, "You're… really serious?"
"Uh-huh," he smirks.
Naofumi's speechless before blinking and yawning, succumbing to sleep since the bed is so warm now…
L'Arc strokes Naofumi's surprisingly soft hair before he falls asleep too. His grip on Naofumi never faltering.
