Haruka sniffled, peeking around the covers at his gloomy room. Something had woken him up from a deep; sick induced sleep. The storm was still blowing wildly out side, but the thunder had settled down hours ago; which was why he was able to succumb to sleep.
After a moment of drifting in his comfortable bed, Haruka thought maybe he had heard someone in the kitchen. The smell that trickled into his room confirmed his suspicion. Tossing back the blanket, Haruka stumbled, following the aroma.
Once in the kitchen, he saw a slight boy with silver hair, frying fish at the stove.
"Aii" Haruka said sleepily.
Turning to him, Aiichirousmiled gently. His hair was dripping onto his shoulders, from being in the rain, but it was slowly drying.
"Hey, Hun. Feeling any better?" Aiichirou asked.
"Was sleeping." Haruka said, shrugging and slipping into a chair at the table.
"I didn't mean to wake you, probably should eat something though." Aiichirou said this while scooping the fish out of the frying pan and setting it on a plat, placing it in front of Haruka. "I heard from Rin that you weren't feeling well, didn't want you to be all alone- and while it's storming out."
Aiichirou moved to the sink, starting water for washing dishes. Haruka studies the slim mans back from where he sat at the table. "Thanks.." Haruka whispered, looking down at the plateful of mackerel.
Haruka glanced up when he noticed Aiichirou move, he was looking at him with earnest blue eyes, "You can always count on me, I am your partner now...really it's rather selfish of me.. I love seeing your smile."
Haruka nodded, a slight twitch to his lips, "You could never be selfish."
Aiichirou bit his lip, as a pleasant dusting of color spreed over his cheeks at Haruka's words. Releasing his lip momentarily, "Eat. You need your strength." He went back to washing the pan that he had used to cook the fish.
Haruka stood slowly, crossing the little space between them to wrap his arms around Aiichirou's waist from behind. Leaning his forehead on the back of the young mans neck. Aiichirou hissed a little, "You're really warm...would be bad if you took a bath I guess."
Haruka hummed, tightening his grip around his slight partner. "Just hold me then.." he added lowly.
Aiichirou nodded, turning off the running water and drying his hands on his apron, trying not to disturb Haruka as his did. "Okay."
Following Aiichirou back up the stairs and into his room, Haruka curled up on the bed, allowing his partner to wrap them in the blanket. Haruka hardly noticed the storm after that, he nuzzled up into Aiichirou's warmth and fell asleep listening to his heart beat.
