Hello! I am back, with... guess what... more fluff! I swear, I can't write anything else. I've been in sort of an idea slump, but hopefully that'll pass soon. This chapter is based on the word Jetlag. My only warning is that Yao curses! Oh no! Don't worry, it's just "shit." He has a potty mouth. Now, read oooon!

Yao cursed jetlag to the high heavens. He was exhausted, and so was Kiku- maybe even moreso, if the way he slumped in the car on the ride home was an indicator. They had just returned from a week-long meeting in America, and despite their travelling experiences, the time zone shift wore heavy on their old bodies. Luckily, it was nearing midnight already and they had eaten on the plane, so they could go straight to bed and sleep the night away.

And that's exactly what they did; they both crashed onto the bed haphazardly, Kiku's body halfway on top of Yao's, their travel clothes still on. They nearly slept through breakfast, but Kiku's internal alarm clock wouldn't allow it. His eyes opened at six the next morning, just as usual.

"Yao," he said groggily, nudging the other man on the bed. "Yao!" he repeated, continuing to nudge, until the very heavy sleeper cracked his eyes open.

"Aiya... Kiku, I'm still tired. What time is it?"

"What do you think?" Kiku replied sarcastically. "Six, like always."

Yao let out a long yawn and stretched out his limbs, letting a few cracks resonate through the room. "Shit. I don't want to get out of bed. Can't we just sleep a bit longer?"

Kiku seemed to consider this deeply. After a brief pause, he replied, "absolutely. In fact, I'm so tired, let's just stay in bed all day. Eat in bed, nap all day, cuddle..."

"That sounds wonderful," Yao sighed dreamily, "but are you sure? You don't have anything to do today, do you?"

Again, Kiku paused in thought. "Well, I was going to unpack, and catch up on some anime, and write a few overdue e-mails... but, those can wait." He smiled, letting a soft yawn escape his lips.

Yao smiled back and yawned in return. "Good," he said, slowly sitting up with much effort, "I'll go get breakfast."

After breakfast, the two simply cuddled, stomachs full of food and eyes half closed. They chatted a bit before falling back asleep, simply because they could, and they so enjoyed talking to each other with no one else around to judge them or breathe down their necks.

"This was a great idea, Kiku," Yao said, gently threading his fingers through the other's hair while Kiku sighed happily. "I feel so at peace."

"Indeed," Kiku replied, his own hands rubbing tiny circles into Yao's lower back. "You helped, after all."

This made Yao grin. "I did, didn't I? You know, I'm full to the brim of good ideas."

"Really?" Kiku couldn't help but open his eyes and raise his eyebrows a bit at this. "Tell me all about it, koibito."

"Well, I picked breakfast this morning."

"Yes, you did," Kiku agreed, "and the lizhi was very delicious."

"Also," Yao began, "I chose the blankets on our bed. Aren't they comfortable? Finest silk in China, I promise you!"

"Right, right," came a chuckle from Kiku, teasingly pinching Yao's backside.

A short pause followed, until Yao spoke up. "Do you know what my best idea was, though?" Kiku said nothing. "Well, obviously... my best idea was taking you under my wing, and raising you." Kiku's cheeks began to turn pink. "Now you're here, lying next to me, and we're together, as happy as we can be. You are my greatest treasure, Kiku." Smiling, Yao kissed a blushing Kiku gently on the lips.

"Well... do you know what my best idea was, Yao?" He said nothing. "My best idea was telling you that I love you." With a gentle kiss back, the pair fell into a heavy sleep for nearly the rest of the day, wrapped in each other's embrace.

koibito is lover in Japanese- but I used Google Translate, so correct me if I'm wrong and I'll fix it!

lizhi is a type of berry widely eaten in China.

I hope you enjoyed more fluff! Au revoir! :)
