Timeline: During the time Edo & Ryou are researching Haou and such. This was sparked by an ask on my tumblr concerning bed sharing, so that will happen. No sex, however. But give me time and the bed will be shared.
Summary: Living of any kind requires effort, cleanliness, and food. Living in Dark World isn't any exception at all.
He's warm. Edo retained vague memories of sleeping in the same bed as his father. But unsurprisingly sharing a bed with Hell Kaiser was vastly different.
For one thing, Ryou was a great deal taller than his father. More slender, though. Edo even thought he'd lost weight since their first encounter.
Ryou would claim that he hadn't, but Edo didn't believe that. But the way his clothes hung on him, the way he paused every now and then, hand pressed to his chest… Edo wasn't stupid..
He wanted to sleep but the sensation of another presence there prevented that. Every time he edged closer to the edge of relaxation, Ryou shifted and Edo's eyes popped open again, as awake as he'd been when they'd arrived.
A tiny breath of sense told Edo it would be better if he got up and made himself a bed on the floor. What kept him from doing so was the simple fact that he had nothing to make a bed from. Not to mention there wasn't really enough room even for him to sleep there. It was here or nowhere else.
So he stretched himself out yet again and closed his eyes, determined to get some sleep.
Warm. Long. Peaceful. Those weren't words that he always especially associated with Hell Kaiser. Perhaps long, given his height, but warm? Peaceful? Not in the slightest.
But there it was. There he was. Edo couldn't shake the strange fact that Hell Kaiser was somehow comfortable against him.
