Rest, dear, rest.

It was rather late now, for most people. For Yasuo surely this wasn't too late and he was used to fall asleep in these times. At the moment Yi held him in his arms as much as he could without disturbing his sleep.

Not so long ago the latter had fallen asleep, curled against Yi after another one of their dear lovemakings. Something that both needed greatly.

He was quite desperate today.

Indeed Yi remembered well how the day went, after such sweet start. All day long Yasuo had been waiting for him to return, sometimes calling for him lowly only to get his attention. Again there were reasons why he couldn't have been by his side when they both wanted it. His mission was elsewhere and entities couldn't drop their guard even for a second. Everyone had their tasks and responsabilities. Even knowing that Yi had kept an eye on his special mortal, at least to be sure he wasn't too sad.

The real soft surprise was to see Yasuo seek more relief by himself, the exact reason Yi thought he was quite needy these days. It wasn't a remark, himself felt it even now. Hmm. This isn't the same. Mortals were used to that. His lover probably too but Yi wasn't, far from it. Even after all they had done and his discoveries, there were still a lot of things he couldn't understand yet. Like this constant pull that would never stop.

Also it was the reason he was 'motivated' to return to the Morning Star. Along the obvious ones about at last finding his lover and the occasion to treat him right, there was also this vicious desire. It never really let go, even with his senses cut off and his focus on something else. No one could know or guess though, he was good at ruling himself and hiding but the need wouldn't go away on its own.

How good it went. Both had been so impatient to finally get each other in privacy that they went on without questions. Passion unleashed at once, with a lot of affection that was soon replaced by crude need. Really it was a good reunion after such ridiculous short time. So exhausting that Yasuo almost fell on him. Yi chuckled a little at this memory, something so fresh. So excited, it made him tired. A gentle look to his lover, very tempted to carress although he didn't want to risk bothering him.

Oh, if only he could kiss him. It was always a bit sad – even just a tad – to spend most of their time together looking after Yasuo in his sleep. Alright, it really depended of the days and his missions but mostly he found himself available when the latter had to sleep. No luck. Yi wouldn't complain, any second spent in Yasuo's company made him more alive than ever, no matter what they did. His presence really managed to soothe him without physical proof.

And sometimes it made him crave more.

Oh no.

It wasn't truly gone, indeed. Always lurking, coiling discreetly. Even now. Yi went still, a little tense as he registered of the urge this time. It would fluctuate a little but right now it came back with a revenge, which didn't make sense. They already had sex maybe one hour ago, he couldn't be craving that much so soon.

Fear kicked in, this terrible worry about Yasuo. What should I do ? Already he felt a light tremor in his hands, prompting him to take it back from where it lay on the latter. This wasn't a good sign, not at all. I still need ? It made him scared because so far they had never found a limit, Yi didn't know if one day it would be enough. And now he needed Yasuo, while he wasn't available.

Wait. Just a little. Maybe it would pass. Innerly Yi knew it wouldn't but at that point, he was growing restless. Yasuo was still holding him very close, full contact that still made him react despite himself. Why ? He was supposed not to feel when all his senses were off. Why do I still feel it ? Even with his hands off the latter, contact remained and he couldn't help basking in it.

A few minutes went without a single change, unless for the worst. Yi remained hyperaware of the warm body pressed to his, free skin ready to be explored. No, stop. This wasn't the moment to think about their times together.

Trying to do the right think, he moved away from Yasuo, making an effort to extract himself from the rather loose embrace. Of course Yi would rather stay close and enjoy the presence of his lover but this clearly wasn't helping his case, at a critical time. Once free, he sat up in bed not too far, just enough to be in reach. Closing himself with fear.

I can't bother him. Right then, bother sounded a lot like hurt. All his dilemma. With time Yi could just see his control slipping away without a chance to take it back. Once it would have run out, no idea what would happen. This scared him the most, the risk of doing something harsh or unwanted to Yasuo.

Just here, so peaceful in his sleep, oblivious to the struggle Yi was enduring. It hurt him innerly to see the latter move so shyly into contact, searching for someone that was there before. Even when he tried not to bother, Yi still did, to his chagrin.

Please love…

Close to panick and feeling too needy when he shouldn't, Yi found a quick solution and grabbed another pillow. With extreme care he sneaked it in Yasuo's arms, in hope that this would be good enough substitute. This is all I can give, I'm sorry.

Too much. Definitely he had to move, soon. If not, he couldn't guaranty to stay aware enough. The unknown wasn't so scary, just like when he would 'drown' after climax. Yi feared he would do something, or at least that his own body and the urges imposed would try something. With Yasuo so close, he couldn't risk it.

So he left, vanishing from the room.
