[ Aki finds it easy, too easy, to curl up once the bathing is done.
He's tired but in a good way, relaxed and content from the intimacy and from the bath, warm from the water and from the energy rushing through him. It's a bubbling, content feeling, something that had felt so out of reach for him for so long, something that had begun to feel impossible until he woke up here and had a second chance at life.
It makes him feel... It makes him feel.
There aren't enough words for that.
Corralling Tsurumaru into his arms, curled up and prepared to drift off, he's not expecting the words when they come. One eye opens, and then the other, before he blinks at the man at his side, his eyebrows raising, just a little.
... Didn't they just...?
Didn't he - they did - it wasn't a dream?
Laughing softly, he leans in to the kiss, tilting his head and tugging Tsuru as close as he can get him. ]
(He can't believe he just asked Aki out and he's taking this long to answer. He almost thinks Aki's gone to sleep and he's missed his chance but then he stirs.

I think we crossed that line already, Tsuru.

Why is he laughing? He's being serious???
Hitting his chest (gently), pouting (actually),)
Answer me properly.
(SPEAK IT INTO EXISTENCE OR ELSE.)

[ Stop pouting. Leaning in, Aki steals his lips, steals another kiss, because he's allowed, because they like each other, because they're lovers -
he can't help laughing against his mouth, just a little. ]
We're lovers, Tsurumaru.
no subject
(He can't help but smile, though, and he gives a quick, indignant peck before he settles back down against him.))
Then that's it.
(That's just it. They're lovers. They're a pair.
Even if Aki isn't taking this seriously at all. Tsurumaru will take it seriously for both of them.)
Good night.
(They'll sleep and when they wake up, they'll be together. They'll still have each other. They'll be lovers.)
