Well it's taking it's time. The record still stands at just that one time when I was a kid. [Those are dangerous words, Naruhodou. When they get inside, Wagahai had climbed onto the couch in the living room to take a nap. She opens her eyes blearily at the sounds, but then curls right back to sleep.]

. . .I had fun today, at least. [He says as he closes the door behind them.]

[exchangeable]

I did, too. ... We'll have to do that more often.

[ He turns back to him, giving him another warm smile as he sets the cups down and then sits next to Wagahai, petting her gently. ]

[ryuwrighthistory]

[He smiles brightly at that, joining him on the couch. Wagahai hunches up her back when Asougi starts petting her, purring contently while sleeping away.]

Definitely! And don't be shy to ask me to do something with you once in a while too. [He leans into him.]

[exchangeable]

I'm not shy, Naruhodou.

[ He huffs, even as he leans in next to him. ]

[ryuwrighthistory]

[He laughs at that.] Right, what was it again? You didn't want to take up my time.

[exchangeable]

You know what I meant . . . !

[ryuwrighthistory]

[Oh Asougi. He pats him on the head. There there.] Even if it's something you think wouldn't interest me, I'll do it with you. Or well...I'll try anyway.

[Cause his friend can go rather intense with his interest. That hand is still on his head, and now stroking his hair.]

[exchangeable]

I'll come to you.

[ He leans in to that. It was a bit embarrassing, but it also felt . . . nice. He didn't really mind it, if he was being honest with himself. ]

[ryuwrighthistory]

[Since he's not stopping him, he'll continue running his hand through his hair then. He snuggles up against his friend like a pillow, making himself more comfortable and letting out a long tired sigh.]

I need to start dinner in about an hour. Can you wake me up then...? [After carrying all those groceries and that snowball fight, the tiredness has caught up with him and he wants to nap for a bit.]

[exchangeable]

Mm. If I'm awake then.

[ Because he's curling up with him. It's comfortable, and he's getting tired as well. ]

[ryuwrighthistory]

[A snort.] Oh, you will. You'd never allow yourself to sleep for very long. . . [His hand lowers from his head, looking for a hand to hold onto instead.]

[exchangeable]

I could, in some circumstances . . . [ He takes his hand in his, squeezing it lightly. ]

[ryuwrighthistory]

Hm? What circumstances? [He rubs his hand with his thumb.]

[exchangeable]

If I feel safe. [ It's a simple answer on the surface, but he knows how loaded it is beneath that. ]

[ryuwrighthistory]

. . . [Were he not about to doze off, he probably would have something to say to that, but as of right now. . .he just squeezes his hand, shifting his position so he could rest his head against his chest. He can hear his heartbeat, a constant reminder that his friend is still here with him. He closes his eyes.] I can understand that sentiment. . .

[exchangeable]

Most people can . . .

[ He's drifting off as well, but it's fine, they're cuddling on the couch and it's comfortable. And safe. ]
