"Osamu," Eugene scolded. "It is far too late to be starting another movie…"
"But this one's really good!" Yasuhara pouted, pressing pause and turning to his boyfriend. "I thought you said you weren't tired."
"Well," Eugene said shortly. "I am tired now and I want to go to bed."
Yasuhara set the remote down and cuddled into Eugene's arms. Eugene stiffly wrapped one arm around his boyfriend.
"What are you doing?" Eugene frowned down at his boyfriend. "I'm not gonna sleep on the couch."
Yasuhara was taken aback, this had to be the first time Eugene has reacted so negatively to his advances.
"G, is something wrong?"
"I'm exhausted," Eugene groaned. "That's what."
"Grump," Yasuhara lazily reached up and kissed Eugene's chin, missing his cheek. "I guess we can go to bed."
"You guess?" Eugene sat up, gently pushing Yasuhara off of him. "You're staying over, yeah?"
Yasuhara nodded.
"And this is my apartment," Eugene continued.
Yasuhara nodded again.
"I'm going to bed," Eugene decided, standing up from the couch. "Join me if you want."
"If I want?" Yasuhara was astounded at his boyfriend's behavior. "Are you sure you're feeling alright?" He stood and placed a hand on Eugene's cheek, as if to feel for a fever. "You're not warm. Do you feel sick?"
"Osamu," Eugene swatted Yasuhara's hand away. "I'm just tired."
Yasuhara was not entirely convinced. He regarded Eugene with a skeptical look as he watched him walk toward the bedroom.
"Coming?"
Yasuhara nodded and followed Eugene to his room. The two boys shared the small mirror in Eugene's bathroom as they brushed their teeth. Yasuhara conveniently had his own spare toothbrush at Eugene's apartment.
Eugene finished brushing his teeth and set his toothbrush back in the cup by the sink. He rinsed his mouth and left Yasuhara for the bedroom. Stripping his shirt and sweatpants off, Eugene crawled into bed.
Yasuhara soon followed, taking off his shirt and jeans, carefully folding them and laying them to the side. He turned off the light before joining Eugene in bed. By now, their routine was almost like that of a married couple.
"G'night," he kissed the side of Eugene's mouth.
"Night," Eugene rolled over on his side, prodding Yasuhara so that he would turn to make the little spoon.

Yasuhara awoke in the middle of the night when he felt Eugene get out of bed.
"G?"
Eugene did not answer.
"What are you doing?"
Eugene began walking wordlessly toward the door.
Yasuhara rolled out of bed and moved to block Eugene's path.
As Yasuhara had suspected, Eugene was sleepwalking.
"Gene," Yasuhara pressed both hands to his boyfriend's chest, pushing slightly to stop him. "Come back to bed."
"No I can't go to bed with you, I have a boyfriend," Eugene insisted, trying to push past Yasuhara.
"Eugene, I am your boyfriend."
"You are not," Eugene argued, slurring his words. "You're too mean to be my boyfriend."
Yasuhara laughed, "Mean? I'm so sorry I don't want you to sleepwalk yourself into danger."
"I have to save Noll!"
"G," Yasuhara wrapped Eugene in his arms in an effort to contain him. "Noll is just fine."
"No he's not!" Eugene began sleepily punching against Yasuhara's chest. "Let me go!"
Yasuhara couldn't help but chuckle at his boyfriend's childish actions.
"Eugene, come on," Yasuhara began coaxing Eugene back into bed, using his slight advantage in height to overpower his sleeping boyfriend.
At some point, Eugene came to in Yasuhara's arms.
"Osamu?" Eugene blinked. "What's going on?"
"You were sleepwalking, G."
Eugene shrunk, laying his head into the crook of Yasuhara's neck and breathing deeply.
"Are you alright?" Yasuhara held Eugene closer.
He felt Eugene shake his head slightly, nose rubbing against the skin of his neck.
"I had a night terror."
Yasuhara pulled Eugene back to the bed and made him to lie down. He crawled into bed next to him, pulling Eugene into his chest once more, running a hand through his soft hair.
"I'm sorry," he whispered. He brushed his thumb idly against Eugene's cheek.
"I'm glad you were there to catch me," Eugene turned his head to place a sleepy kiss on Yasuhara's chest. "I'm scared I'm going to walk somewhere dangerous in my sleep."
Yasuhara buried his face in Eugene's hair, kissing his head.
"It's okay," he said. "Get some rest."
He watched Eugene's eyes flutter closed and continued to keep watch until he was certain his boyfriend was safely asleep. All the while, he kept brushing Eugene's hair with one hand and tracing circles on Eugene's arm with the other.
Soon, both fell into a restful sleep.
X~X~X
The next morning, Eugene found himself almost completely on top of his boyfriend. After the sleepwalking incident, he had slept soundly in Yasuhara's arms. He silently hoped he had not crushed Yasuhara to death in the meantime. He shifted some of his weight off of his boyfriend, though his head still lay against Yasuhara's chest.
"G," Yasuhara mumbled. "Are you awake?"
"Uh huh," Eugene laughed, scooting so he could nuzzle into Yasuhara's neck.
"Ah," Yasuhara squirmed. "Stop, that tickles!"
Eugene reached up and mussed Yasuhara's already messy hair.
"Are you feeling better?"
Eugene nodded.
"I just had a bad dream," The hand in Yasuhara's hair traveled down to hold Yasuhara's chin. "You saved me, though."
"Saved is a strong word choice," Yasuhara blushed. "But -"
Eugene silenced Yasuhara with a swift kiss to his lips.
"Don't be so humble," he said, pulling away. "You're amazing."
Yasuhara opened his mouth to protest but Eugene cut him off with yet another kiss.
"Stop!" Yasuhara protested. "It's too early for you to be this cute."
Eugene shrugged.
"Alright," he said. "Talk all you want." He began kissing Yasuhara's jawline, travelling downwards towards his neck. "But," he said in-between kisses. "I'm gonna keep kissing you."
"You're impossible, ah!" Yasuhara whined as Eugene kissed a particularly sensitive spot on his neck. "I'm not even properly awake yet!"
"Too bad," Eugene kissed Yasuhara's collar bone. "This is happening. I mean, do you want me to stop?"
"No…"
"Good."
Eugene continued his kissing. Yasuhara twisted over and caught Eugene's lips in his own.
"We should get breakfast," Yasuhara mumbled, pulling away once more.
Eugene groaned, "Right, so you're just going to let me get all riled up and then say you want breakfast first?"
"All riled up?" Yasuhara giggled. "Is this the nineteen-fifties?"
"Osamu…"
"After breakfast," Yasuhara sat up. "Then we'll see. But if you cook me breakfast, then I'll be a lot more inclined towards..."
Eugene jumped out of bed and darted out, amidst Yasuhara's giggles.
"Quickest breakfast of your life," Eugene called behind him. "Coming right up!"
