Hisoka had been here on a few occasions before now, but he still couldn't help the feeling he got when he entered Tsuzukis home. It was very different from his own home. His home was basically empty and seemed very cold and barren compared to Tsuzukis. Tsuzukis home was a gathering place for random objects and memorabilia. Hisoka grimaced as he noticed how messy Tsuzukis place had gotten. He decided he'd clean until Tsuzuki woke up but first he'd have to lay Tsuzuki somewhere.
Hisoka tried with all his strength to get Tsuzuki to the bedroom so he could lay him in the bed but then he realized he didn't know which room it was. Hisoka couldn't hold the older shingami up much longer so he just settled him on a couch in the living room. With that he started cleaning.
Hisoka started in the kitchen. He threw away month old take-out, Tsuzukis own failed attempts at cooking, and the many damaged and broken dishes that were scattered across the kitchen floor. He then started cleaning the good dishes, the counters, and he mopped the floor. He then moved to cleaning and organizing the living room, bathroom, dining room, guest room, and last but not least he came to what he figured to be Tsuzukis room. He was shocked. The place was- clean?
Every other room had looked like a tornado had torn through it except his bedroom. How did that happen? The only thing that seemed to be messy was his bed. The sheets were unmade and his pillow and blanket were on the floor. That's it? He walked over to the bed and lifted the pillow. There were no food stains on it. There was nothing visibly wrong with it. He sniffed it wondering if Tsuzuki had maybe spilled sake in his bed and that was why it remained unused. It smelled like Tsuzuki. He blushed and set it on the bed. He shouldn't be in this room. He didn't feel like he belonged here for some reason.
As he began to leave the room he recognized a dark aura. ' Muraki!' Hisoka stopped. 'Muraki's been here!' he thought in shock. He walked around the rest of the house looking for a similar aura but found it only extended to Tsuzuki's bedroom.
Feeling both angry and hurt Hisoka stomped into the living room to give Tsuzuki a piece of his mind, but stopped when he saw that his still sleeping partner was having a nightmare.
He knew he shouldn't invade Tsuzuki's thoughts, but he wanted to know what was wrong with him. What had Tsuzuki in this shape. He needed to know and he knew the older shinigami would never tell him. He always treated him like he was just a little kid, but he wasn't. If he hadn't died he'd now be nineteen.
"Baka...What's happening to make you this way?" Hisoka asked as he moved toward the couch and sat on the floor next to Tsuzuki. "In this shape I'd easily be able to get past your sheild and see what's wrong." Hisoka reasoned as he turned to look at Tsuzuki "But that would be betraying your trust wouldn't it?" He stroked the tips of tsuzukis hair out of his face. As he did so the older man once again calmed down.
He was still slightly surprised at Tsuzukis reactions to his touch but, figured if they comforted the man while he slept he could do it a little while longer. After a while of stroking Tsuzukis hair Hisoka found himself slowly falling asleep. He tried to get up to prevent falling asleep, but was stopped by the warm body on the couch pulling him back down. Hisoka looked back at the man and relaxed when he found that he was still sleeping. A little while longer and Hisoka once again felt himself falling asleep, but didn't fight the warm grip of the other. He soon drifted into sleep.
Tsuzuki's pov
I was lost in my hopeless thoughts. The darkness was around me again. I was trapped, but I ran. Even though I ran, it didn't matter. No matter how far I ran I still felt the same way. I felt lost, but just as I never thought I'd see light again I felt a familiar warmth. I felt calmer again. The dark was leaving. Just as I began to feel secure again I felt the warm leaving me. I couldn't let it leave me! I'm too selfish. I reached for it. I needed it... I caught it again. I'm safe. I won't let go. I couldn't if I wanted to... I feel it holding on to me too. The warm is smothering me... wait this is bad right?
As I opened my eyes I stared around but found the room was dark. Even through the dark I could tell I was in my living room. I wondered how I got there, but couldn't figure it out until I felt the weight on me move. I looked down and realized the warm mass was Hisoka. ' What's Hisoka doing here?' I wondered but didn't ask. Hisoka looked tired. I could tell that much even in the dark. As I moved I felt his grip on my arm slightly tighten.
I carefully moved him into my arms, got up, and began to carefully move my way through the dark room. I was careful not to trip on anything strewn across the floor. As I headed down the hall I realized there was nothing on the floor. I could see no dark shapes piled on the floor. The hall seemed devoid of all of its usual trash. 'How'd that happen?'
Not wanting to wake Hisoka by walking around more than neccessary I continued the walk to my room. Besides I would've had to turn on the lights to look around and that might wake 'Soka. I carefully brought him to the bed and lay him down gently. I then tucked him under the sheets and bent over and picked my blanket up off the ground and covered him with it. As I began to leave to inspect the changes in my house I heard him begin to talk in his sleep. "Tsuzuki..." he muttered.
At the sound of my name I turned around and found Hisoka was struggling in his sleep. He seemed to be having nightmares. I wondered why he was here. I couldn't remember him coming over... Even so I felt concerned so I went to comfort him. I gently stroked his hair and the night fits slowly subsided. I looked at my watch.' 3:30... 3 hours until work. We'll talk in the morning. ' I finally decided and came back to the bed. I sat on the left side and slowly took off my shoes. I then lay back on the bed . I was suprised when I felt Hisoka moved toward me in his sleep. I should be used to it considering he does it whenever he's had bad dreams and I'm around, but everytime I feel slight surprise and then worry.
I briefly felt the suprise and then the worry began to set in. As the worry began to deepen I again began to wonder why Hisoka was here. After a while of thinking my thoughts grew hazy and sleep over came me. I felt myself melting into the warmth of the blankets and the "little heater" next to me. The last thing I saw as I drifted into sleep was 'Sokas angelic face giving off a slight smile. I felt myself hug him... and then nothing.
