Aftermath

Lavi was quite familiar with the term "hangover," but he had never experienced one like this. No mere words could describe the menacing, throbbing ach in his head.

Sitting up and trying to ignore the spinning room, Lavi stretched his arms and took a deep breath. He had agreed with himself that would be the last time he would play, "I Never."

As the room stopped spinning, Lavi tried to glance around for a clock. But he couldn't read the far-off, dancing numbers on the clock's face.

Running his hands through his hair, Lavi suddenly realized he smelled really bad. He felt sweaty and gross too. Suddenly, Lavi tensed and sent a cautious glance at the person lying next to him in bed.

"OhdearGod…" Lavi mumbled to the visible dark hair spewed about the pillow beside him. Even though the body said dark hair belonged to was under the covers, Lavi was well aware of to whom both hair and body belonged to. "Yuu?" Lavi offered, his voice trembling.

No response.

"Yuu."

Still, no response.

Lavi leaned closer so that he was inches from Kanda's face – still hidden beneath the covers. "Yuu…"

In an instant, Kanda's arms shot out from under the blanket and around Lavi's neck and roughly pulled him down next to him. With his eyes still closed, Kanda rested his head against Lavi's chest.

Flushing madly, Lavi tried to remain still and ignore the pain in his back from the uncomfortable position he was in. He looked down at Kanda's peaceful face, in complete contrast with his messy dark hair. Lavi had never really been aware of how long Kanda's hair was until he was covered in it.

Slowly, Lavi shifted so Kanda was now cuddling against his shoulder. Cuddling. Lavi let that one word sink into his mind – since he was stoned off his rocker, it took a while, but eventually he was able to register that, yes, Kanda was cuddling with him, and, yes, he was adorable.

"Yuu?" Lavi asked softly.

"Sleep." Kanda groaned back.

"Does this mean we're officially, 'together'?"

Kanda finally opened his eyes and looked up at Lavi. Scooting up and closer so that their faces were centimeters apart he leaned in and whispered against Lavi's partially opened lips, "Next time, I'm on top."

'Oh,' Lavi thought to himself, 'that's what happened last night.'
