(What's so funny, he wonders, and his attention once again goes to the box between them. Before he can register it again, Aki takes it and places it atop him and he mumbles again. It sounds like the start of a question, "What's that?"
Reflexively, he leans into his touch, feeling the warmth of his hand against him and he thinks he might be able to go back to sleep again with how nice it feels. Of course, it makes the box on his head fall off once again and he fumbles to catch it with both of his hands, sitting upright and becoming a little more alert. The box tumbles into his open palms and it's only now that he realizes that this brightly colored box is a gift. A second later, it dawns on him what day it is, and it's like one spark after another as everything falls into place and he starts to really wake up.
Smiling down at the gift, feeling excited at the idea of what might be inside, he shifts to move closer to Aki... and leans across him, stretching to reach out for the side of the bed. )
Wait, wait...
(As if on cue, two of the hummingbirds stir start to push small gift bag out from under. He loops his fingers around the string and pulls himself back up, using Aki as support. Repositioning himself next to Aki, he offers the bag to him,)
Happy Christmas, Aki.
(This is what they're supposed to say this morning, right?)
