Lips over the back of his hand, a mere peck yet it made Yasuo more flustered than the latest minutes. It would seem that each new move and gesture between them would get more and more sentimental, at the brink of too much. No, not too much. He wanted everything he could get from Yi, no matter how dark he blushed afterward.
It reached such point he couldn't focus anymore in the shy attention he gave to the latter's mark. He had wished to make it soft and still careful. A show of dedication to their relationship. Nothing too rushed but given with love everytime. Yet already he was screaming innerly because Yi returned his affection. Small gesture maybe but emotions were found in these details. It meant everything.
How long until he fell in love again ? The first time was so long ago, when he started to love his soulmate for what they were supposed to be, not even aware who they would be. Yi. Now it was time for him to fall in love with the man, beyond the first idea of soulmate. And it had already begun, given how strongly he felt for him after such short time.
Yi's discreet ways of showing attention, Yi's gaze when he looked at him, Yi who fell asleep after tending to his wounds. Indeed he was meant to fall again but it was far too sweet to fear that. No reason to be scared.
Since he had lost his focus and peace of mind, Yasuo tightened the embrace on reflex, face hidden behind the latter. There he wouldn't be found out blushing. What am I thinking ? They were supposed to take this slow. But this was still quite innocent, no ? So why was he at the limit of losing it ?
Emotions and feelings were to blame here. Heart beating too fast and many other clues showed he was already too deep into that. That was it ? A peck over his hand and he was done ? Come on, Yasuo.
Easy to say but he didn't dare to move. It was fine, wasn't it ? Just two soulmates, hugging quietly in bed, while some people were fighting far away. Don't think about it. His guilt wasn't nice with him, as long as he had to stay down and rest. After all, he had deserted his duty to fight and right now he wasn't. And he had his soulmate in his arms, the most peaceful moment one could ask.
Until he got sleepy again. Really, how long would he need to sleep before he could function again ? This was getting on his nerve. Always tired, always. Maybe there was a proper explanation for this, like the fact that he barely slept for many days since he prefered to cut some noxians. It was still bothersome.
He ended up leaning a little too much on Yi, which couldn't be comfortable for him. So he had to move, at least to give the latter some peace.
« Mmmh am tired. Gonna sleep more, sorry. » It was even in his voice, low need for rest.
Without waiting Yasuo flopped back in bed, while trying to keep as much contact as he could. In such small bed, difficult to ignore each other's presence so it wasn't a real matter.
« It's alright, you need that. Just be careful with your wound, don't make it worse. » Quick to react, Yi turned in his direction and lied back by his side.
It would seem like they were to sleep together again. Yasuo had no idea how exhausted the latter was but since he came to fall asleep by accident earlier, he hadn't enough yet. He gladly welcomed Yi closer, to make sure he wouldn't fall off the bed and to relish touch as he could.
« Will be alright, it doesn't hurt a lot. Thank you for taking care of me. » Since he heard about it, he might as well thank him. What a sweet feeling, to know someone was looking after him.
Of course Yasuo would stay cautious out there, no prevent more troubles for his soulmate yet the feeling stuck with him. There was someone making sure he was alive and healthy. During his life there weren't a lot of these people. Most didn't care, he wouldn't be a great loss. For Yi, he counted.
« Hold me, please. The strongest you can. » Small whisper in that semblance of space between them.
Their embrace was already more than respectable yet he yearned for more. To be held, in all it meant.
« I would break your bones if I did so I won't. Although I can still give you this. » Oh he sounded so cute after pointing this out. Not once Yasuo would doubt his words, if he said so.
It still made him shiver just to imagine his strenght. Such large blade, it would require a good training and strenght to be able to yield it perfectly as Yi did. So yes, he imagined and the blush stayed a bit longer.
Thoughts cut short because next second the latter tightened their embrace, probably to the limit he accepted. It was still quite strong and Yasuo enjoyed it. Powerful love indeed. Kept in Yi's arms and held like this, it would take no time for him to drift away.
« Sleep well love. I'll try to be there when you wake up. »
He felt safe, right there. At peace.
« He's alright, don't worry. I'm looking after him. »
« Alright. But aren't you two hungry ? I can bring you food, if you need. »
« That would be great, please. Though I don't know when he will wake up. »
« Then I'll bring some just for you. We will see later if he's hungry. »
Conversation nearby, that he pieced together despite himself. Little by little Yasuo woke up, taken by these voices. Mmmh not yet. It was so nice to be right there, arms around Yi.
Oh wait. It was him.
It made sense as he gained awareness. To be that close, the first voice must have been Yi. Now everything was quiet, there wasn't a single noise in the room. Did he dream that ? Yasuo didn't know, this strange state of sleep made it difficult to understand.
Yasuo would have rolled on his other side if it was possible but the bed was too small to risk that. Nonetheless, he moved in bed to settle back again, sighing once he found a good spot with Yi in his arms. Who was actually sitting up in bed, now that he realized.
Eyes opened, he checked if he was wrong but no. Yi was sitting there although he remained close enough for him to slung an arm around his waist.
« Yi ? » Barely voiced, a murmur to catch his attention and make sure it was real.
« Oh, hello. My apologies, we probably woke you up. Tell me, are you hungry ? »
As soon the latter focused on him, turning slightly to look at him. Now he realized Yi had put back his top clothing, no longer bare chest. Details, again but Yasuo noted that for later. Maybe he was a bit shy after all.
« Errr I think yes. It's been a while since last time I ate. Oh fuck I'm starving. » Only once it was brought up his body made it clear he needed to eat. Yasuo had no memories of the last time, maybe something there and there between the fights.
So it was real. He really heard Yi and someone else. Maybe someone of the village.
Since they were going to have some food, Yasuo sat up too and immediately regretted it when it pulled a little on his bandaged wound.
« Shit—! »
Like he said, it didn't hurt unless he forgot about it. One brilliant occasion to make a fool of himself.
« Calm down, don't be stupid. I know it can be bothering but be careful with your wound. »
There, quick remark. He deserved that one, he wasn't cautious around his own wounds usually. He would survive anyway.
In return Yasuo leaned to the latter's shoulder, pouting a little.
« I know… I'll be careful. »
« Do it for me, please ? I don't want you to run back into the fights while still wounded. »
Words that turned soft, an equally gentle gesture as he welcomed Yasuo close to him. Everything was a new reason to melt. Enough to choke this spike of emotion and seek further contact.
« I'll try not to. »
Could he really refuse something to Yi ?
