he chuckled as he continued to ruffle that white hair, gently massaging his scalp while itona was glaring at him*
"Whatever, lets go to bed, you can lay on my chest again and I can scratch your head a little"
Itona blushed slightly at the mention of lying on his chest as he always did, but refused to show it. He simply huffed at the offer before giving a small nod. they lay down together, Terasaka pulling itona onto his chest*
Itonas' head was now resting against terasakas chest. The sound of his steady heartbeat was soothing, and he unconsciously relaxed even more into that chest. It was a comfortable, familiar feeling , and one that he enjoyed. He made a small hum, signalling he was ready for the scalp scraches*
Terasaka smiled as he felt itonas weight on his chest. He started gently scratching the top of his head with one hand , while the other lightly traced up and down itonas spine. He always loved this moment, when itona was so calm and relaxed on his chest, so close to him. The feel of his soft hair, the sound of his soft hums...it was like nothing else mattered at the moment*
With a content sigh, he spoke*
"Hey...can I tell you something? "
Itona relaxes even more at the feeling of those head scraches, letting a soft sigh escape him. He was really tired, and the feeling of Terasaka's hand tracing his spine was soothing, making his eyes flutter shut. He hummed quietly in response to the question, he was too tired to say words*
Terasaka chuckled softly at itonas sleepy hum, finding it cute the way his eyes fluttered shut*
he continued to lightly run his fingers through itonas hair, gently scratching his scalp and massaging his head. with the other hand tracing his spine gently. It was a really intimate moment, and with each passing second, he wanted to pull itona even closer to him.*
He waited a few more seconds before finally speaking* " you know ...you have become a really Important part of my live...I can't imagine ever again sleeping in without you clinging to me..."
Itona hummed softly and blushed a bit at the words. He was almost falling asleep by now, the head scraches and the tracing on his spine making him feel really safe. Without even realizing it, he found himself nuzzling into that warm chest. he could hear the beating of a heart. Terasakas heart. That heartbeat was what comforted him*
"I don't think I could sleep without you either..." *he mumbled softly*
Terasaka smiled softly as he felt itonas nuzzling against his chest, it made his heart flutter with affection. he couldn't help but wrap his arms around itonas shoulders and pulled him even closer, wanting to feel his body against his own*
"Good..."
he mused, a slight chuckle escaping his lips as he continued to gently run his fingers through itonas hair. the feeling of having itona in his arms, safe, so, so close to him... it was something he'd never get tired of*
Itona felt himself being pulled closer and he went willingly. He just wanted to stay close to Terasaka, feeling like this is where he belongs. He shifted his head and pressed his face into the crook of Terasakas neck, sighing softly at the feeling of those hands in his hair, and the heartbeat under his ear. He relaxed all his muscles and let the sound of that heartbeat soothe him*
Terasaka still hugged itona close, enjoying the feeling of having him pressed against his chest. He could feel his breath against his neck, soft and calm, causing a shiver to run down his spine. he continued to run his fingers through itonas hair, gently massaging his scalp, wanting to keep him as close as possible.*
he leaned down and planted a gentle kiss on the top of itonas head, then spoke in a soft, slightly teasing tone* "are you falling asleep on me, you little gnome? "
"mmm..." *Itona hummed softly at the kiss to his head . he was definitely falling asleep, the feeling of comfort and safeness was simply relaxing and he had no motivation to keep himself awake*
"Maybe..." *he mumbled. Even with his eyes closed, he knew Terasakas probably looking at him with a smirk right now*
The feeling of those fingers running through his hair and the sound of the heartbeat under his ear were lulling him to sleep, and he didn't even try to keep himself awake anymore.*
He simply muttered a soft 'good night' before drifting off to sleep completely.*
Terasaka chuckled softly in response to itonas sleepy 'good night'. He couldn't help but find it cute how itona was completely relaxed and trusting in his arms. he continued to run his fingers through itonas hair for a while, just enjoying the softness of it, and the way itona was fully relaxed against him.*
after a while, he adjusted his position ever so slightly, making sure to keep itona snug against his chest and close to him. He then closed his eyes, letting himself drift off to sleep with itona safely in his arms*
hours passed by and the night was getting deeper and deeper. The house was completely silent, except from the occasional distant sounds of traffic or crickets.
In Terasakas room, it was almost pitch black, only a few light's shone through the window, which was cracked open ever so slightly. The room stayed pretty much at a comfortable temperature.
Terasaka suddenly opened his eyes, and felt something...or rather, someone was shifting on his chest, he notices that Itona is trembling a little bit , so he clicks on a little lamp besides the table that he forgot to turn on before bed . itona is scared of the dark do to yanagisawa punishing him by lovking him in his basement for 3 days , but no one besides Terasaka knows that*
Itona was trembling a little, most likely remembering memories from his past. He was clearly having a bad dream of some sort, his breaths had a slight shake to them as he whimpered softly in his sleep. One of his hands was clutching at the fabric of Terasakas shirt tightly, as if trying to hold onto something in his sleep*
He was still sleeping, and those tremors continued even as he whimpered softly again*
Terasaka noticed itonas trembling and whimpering in his sleep, and his grip on his shirt, and he immediately knew that he was having some kind of nightmare.*
He gently wrapped his arms around itona, pulling him close against his chest, while he ran his hand through his hair, trying to soothe him. He spoke gently as he whispered close to ittanas ear*
"Shhhh...hey hey...it's okay, you're safe, I'm here, I'm right here...you're okay..."
Itona seemed to be slowly calming down, but the tremble didn't stop completely. He was whimpering still, clinging to Terasaka's shirt tightly, not wanting to let go even in his sleep*
He pressed himself closer into Terasaka's chest, looking as if he was subconsciously searching for protection. Those whimpers started to turn into soft mutterings*
Terasaka continued to soothe itona by gently rubbing his back in small, comforting circles. he pulled the blanket over then gently, making sure to keep him covered and warm. He kept whispering softly, trying to coax him out of the bad dream*
"It's okay, you're safe, I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere."
he then noticed the soft mutterings, trying to understand what he was saying*
"hey...shhh...what are you saying? "
the mutterings didn't stop, but now Terasaka could understand some of the words. They were mostly 'stop' , 'sorry' , 'don't' and 'please' repeated again and again in a soft voice. It was obvious that itona was reliving horrible memories from his past*
Terasaka's heart broke at the sound of itonas' words. he could tell that Itona was reliving some horrible memories from his past. he pulled him even closer and held him tightly, as if trying to take away the pain that he was experiencing in his dreams*
he spoke in a low, gentle tone* "shh...it's okay, you don't have to apologize, you did nothing wrong. I'm here, I got you...you're safe with me, I won't hurt you...you hear me?? "
The more he spoke, the more at ease itona seemed to feel. The trembles were slowly stopping but he was still whimpering softly, the past memories still going on in his mind. He was subconsciously searching for a safe place in his dreams*
...he found it. His sleep-addled brain had found the safety he was looking for in his dreams*
His grip on the shirt loosened and the whimpers stopped. He nuzzled his face into the crook of Terasakas neck, breathing lightly, in his dreams , Terasaka hugs him tightly and is holding a light that lights up the room*
Terasaka continued to hold Itona close to him, rubbing his back and whispering soothing words in his ear, he felt Itonas grip loosen and the whimpers stop, and it was a sigh of relief*
He felt itonas face nuzzle into the crook of his neck, and he wrapped his arms around him tightly, holding him close to his body and gently rubbing his hand through his hair*
he spoke softly* "you're alright my little gnome, I got you"
Itona was calming down, his breathing becoming even, and the tension in his body completely disappeared. The nightmare started to dissolve in his dreams. Instead of the bad memories he was so used to , he was now dreaming about a warm summer day at the beach . The sun was warming his face, with a little gust of wind messing up his hair. There were the sounds of people laughing and talking. And itona and Terasaka were cuddling on a blanket , smelling the Ozean and listening to seaguls*
Itona let out a soft hum, the nightmare completely forgotten for now . Replaced with pleasant dreams. He snuggled close to the warmth, seeking out its safeness even in sleep. He mumbled something incoherent , that sounded like a slightly happy 'mhm' before falling completely back to sleep, his breaths even and deep*
He was calm, safe, and content in his dreams*
Terasaka smiled softly as he watched Itona completely relaxed and calm in his arms. He felt a surge of affection for this small ,yet sassy, and adorable guy that was clinging to him so tightly , and how could he not, itonas' calm breaths and happy hum had him hooked. he found it absolutely adorable*
he gently brushed his fingers through itonas hair and then planted a gentle kiss on top of itonas head*
Itona let out a soft sigh at the brush through his hair. His hair being played with by Terasaka is something he absolutely adores , both on the awake and sleeping side. The kiss to his head was a really sweet gesture and he subconsciously gave a little kiss to Terasaka's neck*
Terasaka felt itonas' soft sigh as he brush through his hair, feeling itonas' lips gently pressed to his neck, the act was so precious, and he couldn't help but blush as he continued to run his fingers through itonas hair, but soon falls back asleep himself*
hours past and then, the sunlight from the window beamed into the room with a golden brightness.*
Terasaka woke up a few moments later, feeling completely well rested. He looked down at Itona who was still snuggled against his chest , his pale face looked so peaceful and relaxed in sleep, that made Terasakas heart flutter.*
Seeing the sunlight shining through the window was what finally made itona stir slightly. With a soft , but still sleepy humm he buried his face back into Terasakas chest, not wanting to wake up yet , but eventually , his eyes slowly fluttered open. He looked up at Terasaka, clearly still in a sleepy daze. The sunlight made his skin seem almost shining*
Terasaka felt itonas face bury back into his chest, and that sleepy hum was so damn adorable. He chuckled softly and watched as itonas eyes slowly fluttered open.*
he spoke in a low, soft voice* "good morning sleepyhead. Enjoying your beauty sleep ? "
Itona groaned and blushed slightly at the words. He buried his face into Terasakas chest again, refusing to sit up and wanting to stay just like this for just a few more seconds. He wanted to savor some more of that safety and comfort before the day started. He mumbled something that sounded quite like "let me go back to sleep, moron "*
Terasaka chuckled at Itonas Groan and how he tried to bury his face into his chest. He continued to gently rub his back, finding it so adorable how he seemed so clingy like this*
he teased gently* "I'm a Moron? I'm the one who's letting your short ass sleep snuggled against him, you little leech"
Itona grumbled and blushed at the teasing. It was true though, he was a leech. He liked to cling to Terasaka and refused to let go most of the days. "Shut up", he protested, his words slightly muffled, as he was still basically hiding his face in Terasakas chest*
He also didn't make an attempt to free himself. Not in the slightest. He had no desire to let go just yet*
Terasaka chuckled softly in response to itonas protest, finding it amusing how he was still hiding in his chest. he continued to rub his back gently, a smirk crossing his face*
he teased again* "why should I shut up? I'm stating facts here. you're a clingy little koala. you refuse to get off me"
He grumbled something along the lines of " you are the one that even lets me cling to you..." before nuzzling back into Terasakas chest again. He was definitely not going to get off him anytime soon*
Terasaka chuckled softly at Itonas' muttered words. It was true, he did let Itona cling to him. In fact, he secretly enjoyed it, but he would never admit it out loud. He found itonas' clingy behavior cute*
He teased again* "yeah, cause I'm so gracious. I let you cling to me like a little koala. don't you feel lucky? "
Itona huffed and muttered something under his breath that sounded like "no, you're a dumbass"... but once again, he didn't make any attempt to move or get off of Terasaka.*
Terasaka rolled his eyes at itonas' muttered words, but he couldn't help the amused smirk that crossed his face. He knew itona was just being grumpy, yet still refusing to let go of him*
he joked* "oh, you're still being sassy this morning, huh? and here I thought you'd be grateful for being able to cling to me like a needy koala"
he grabs itonas waist and pulls him up with him, sitting up*
Itona grumbled and reluctantly let himself be pulled up by Terasaka. He was slightly pouty now as he was unceremoniously torn away from the warmth of the other boys chest. He was, however, quickly pulled onto Terasakas lap, right where he could still easily cling to him. He wrapped his legs around his waist and his arms around Terasakas neck*
"I'm not clingy..." *He muttered with a stubborn look on his face, hiding his face in Terasakas neck, hrs blushing a bit do to Terasakas holding his waist*
Terasaka grinned as Itona was pulled into his lap, his legs wrapping around his waist and his arms encircling his neck. he could feel the smaller boy hiding his face in his shoulder, and he couldn't help but feel a small spark of affection at the action.*
he teased* "Oh, really? you're not clingy, huh? then why are you still clinging to me like a little koala? don't try to deny it, you're definitely a clingy little gremlin"
Itona blushed harder at those words and buried his face further in the crook of Terasakas neck. He mumbled something againt the warm skin, but it was unclear what he said*
"Shut up... you like it when I'm clingy... so don't complain.." *he mumbled, his voice slightly muffled*
Terasaka smirked as he felt itonas' face bury further into his neck, the mumble he heard was unclear, but he found it cute nonetheless. hearing itonas words, "you like it when I'm clingy ..." he couldn't deny it*
he chuckled softly* "Oh, Do I now? I suppose I can't really complain when you're so darn adorable when you're clingy. But you're always so demanding, you little goblin"
Terasaka begins to blush more and more though , confusing itona*
Itona noticed the blushing and raised his head a bit, slightly confused. He looked at Terasakas flushed face, tilting his head to the side in curiosity*
"why are you blushing...?"
He mumbled, now noticing that he was still straddling Terasakas lap, one hand on his shoulder, gripping the fabric of his shirt*
Terasaka found himself blushing even more, realizing that itona had noticed his reddening cheeks. He tried to play it cool, but it was hard to brush off the feeling of Itona straddling on his lap, with those pale legs wrapped around his waist and his small hand grasping the fabric of his shirt.*
he mumbled, trying to sound nonchalant* "what? I'm not blushing...I'm just ...hot. yeah, it's hot in here , that's why"
Despite the somewhat poor lie, Itona simply smirked . He had noticed how Terasaka was slightly embarrassed by the situation, and he decided to take advantage of that.*
"Oh... is that so"
he hummed and leaned a bit closer, his face now close to Terasakas, their noses almost bumping together*
Terasaka's heartbeat quickened as Itona leaned in even closer to him, their faces now barely an inch apart , their breaths mingling. He tried to maintain composure , but he could feel his face growing hotter by the second, the proximity of Itonas face making it difficult to think straight*
he swallowed thickly, his gaze locked with Itonas pale yellow eyes*
Terasaka felt a shiver run down his spine as Itona leaned closer, their faces now mere inches apart. He could feel the heat rising in his cheeks, and his heart raced in his chest. he tried to keep his composure, but it was hard with itona this close*
"Y-yeah... that's why... definitely just the heat ..." *he murmured, his voice slightly wavering. he could feel itonas' breath on his face, making him feel even more flustered...and..." Oh shit- " he thinks to himself as he feels himself getting hard, poking itona*
Itona noticed the slight change in Terasakas voice. The wavering in it and how it suddenly got a bit higher, indicating flusteredness. He was intrigued - and amused. He smirked, enjoying this*
Then...he felt "something" press into his butt, making him blush . He realised what it was... And his face turned bright red.*
He looks up at Terasaka and then leans his head against his chest , back arched*
"Um... You're quite... Excited, huh?"
Terasaka's face went completely red as itona leaned against his chest, arching his back, and made that comment about him being "excited". he was so embarrassed, caught in the act, he wanted the floor to just open up and swallow him whole*
he tried to downplay it, but his words came out awkwardly stuttered* "I-I... uh... yeah...sorry...I can't help it... you're.. you- you're so damn close and cute and.. I have to go ! " *he gently puts itona aside onto the bed and leaves for the bathroom*
Itona watched as Terasaka quickly got up and bolted to the bathroom. He sat down on the bed with a confused expression on his face, a slight tinge of disappointment on his features. He had hoped , no, expected, that something would happen there. Something they both wanted. But... he just left.
He sighed , and slumped down on the bed , a hand resting over his eyes. He felt kinda stupid for thinking that something would happen ...*
