[He's glad Midorima's hands are fine. He's not sure what he constitutes as fine or not, but he'd hate to be a reason something went wrong. Maybe that still ties in with his words from earlier... He still can't stop thinking about it. So is that supposed to make him a better person? He's not sure. He still feels terrible.
Buttoning up his shirt, he turns to pick up his water and slips more under the blankets on the bed, sitting up still as he sips from it.]
Thank you. [After a long sip, where he lowers the glass and continues to watch him.]
If I promise to control myself, will you sleep in the bed again?
[ With the final finger on his left hand done, he blows to remove any dust from the filing and holds his hand up in front of his face so he can get as good a look as possible. Then he puts his tools away and picks up the tape. He has to individually wrap every finger now. ]
I have no intention of going to sleep, but I'll lay in it and read if you have a book I can borrow.
[ But Midorima isn't the type who can just sleep whenever. Even if he's a little more tired than he normally would be at this time of day, his sleep is set to a schedule. He sleeps very deeply during it, but he wakes and sleeps at the same time every night. ]
[ Mm, there goes his nap plans. He pauses a moment for his reply, thinking. He’s used to sleeping at random hours in hospitals, so this doesn’t feel too different. He needs to rest, anyway, and while his clothes are drying and he’s relaxing in pjs... why not?
But sleep isn’t his first desire. ]
I believe this is largely in part to my moonblessing, but it’s impossible to shake the idea. I want to snuggle up close to you.
I didn't say you couldn't sleep, just that I wouldn't. It's your bed.
[ That's why he wanted the book. Eichi needs to rest. He doesn't verbally agree to the snuggling but he won't stop it from happening either. Midorima's very clear when he's against something, so he hopes that Eichi understands. ]
I will nap some more, since I'm quite tired, but...
[He watches Midorima for another long moment before he sets the water aside, shaking his head.]
No, nevermind. I have books on a shelf near the table in the main room, if you'd like to search for one you might like.
[They're prisma books about things like the culture, any history, and anything you can think of that might help an idol raise himself higher. Media, song writing, so on and so forth.]
[ He doesn't press to find out what the 'but' was. If Eichi decided not to say it, it's not his business. He finishes taping up his fingers and gathers his things to put them back in the bag he'd brought, neatly tucked away. Then he gets up to go look at the books, but raises his voice so Eichi can still hear him as he does. ]
Do you have somewhere to be today?
[ Midorima doesn't really know what to do here, he's going on instinct and trying to be good about this,but he also has no idea how to tell if he's overstaying his welcome. ]
Nothing necessary. I had set today aside for your massage, and I originally had plans to visit certain shops, but it was nothing vital. I had no important meetings.
[He calls it back out, experimentally shifting and stretching from the bed. He's sore, but his pain tolerance is much better with these traits... So hopefully he won't be too sore later, either.]
[ ...he actually has chroma for once. He can do it. ]
Do you have any allergies?
[ Unless Eichi says he wants something specific, Midorima kind of wants burgers maybe. He feels like he just played a basketball game, between Cordis hunger and his first time. ]
[Hmm, Midorima staying over long enough to plan for lunch... He perks up a little at that, glancing at the door to the hall and the rest of the apartment.]
It's more that I have dietary restrictions. Anything too unhealthy sets me off quite easily, but as long as I'm careful, it isn't an issue. Do you have something in mind?
Burgers? Hamburgers? If we're going to have something like that, I want beef. ♪ It's fine for me to have something like that once in a while, so long as you don't choose an item that's too over the top.
[Don't get him like jalapenos or something and he'll survive. Normal ass burger.]
Have you found a book yet? I don't want to nap until you're next to me, you know?
[ He's the health police apparently. Deal with it. Burgers a good choice though. Affordable and delicious and filling.
Midorima's just over here reading the backs, but if Eichi's going to be impatient he'll pick something. Not after like, intentionally reading an entire next cover though. Whatever the most sciencey thing on Eichi's shelf is is what Midorima picks, then comes back over with. ]
Ehh, but we could play the pocky game with a french fry?
[He's absolutely going to steal one from Midorima if he gets some for himself. But this is fine, otherwise, he doesn't need fries. Midorima can enjoy the most science-y book being a fairly complicated one about Chroma and Demichroma, largely. Eichi shifts whenever he re-enters, patting the bed next to him. Come here.]
[ Fairly complicated is good. Midorima read a book about quantum physics for fun once.
....He goes to the other side of the bed and just kind of pushes Eichi across the bed for it. He wants this side that wasn't patted because he doesn't come like a dog, thank you. ]
Play the what?
[ If he knows what it is, he's not going to share that he knows. ]
[He just assumes Midorima doesn't know, because he's excitedly hoping that's the case. But then he's pushed across the bed, and he looks so startled and offended by it. After Midorima is sitting, Eichi flops a little over his lap, burying his face against a thigh.]
This is my side... [His dresser? His water? His phone and everything? Ah. He doesn't actually care that much, at least not while he's as tired as he is. Can he sleep like this, if he behaves? He wonders.]
[He wraps his arms around Midorima's waist in an attempt to stay where he is, the rest of him going deadweight. But he's entirely light, and is no match for Midorima, so he can easily be pried off if he continues.]
I'll behave, so can't you let me use you as a pillow this once? Part of this moon is this troubling feeling that makes my chest ache when we're too far apart after something so intimate, you know? [Is that entirely part of the moon? Well, shh.]
I'm already dealing with your coldness, so give me this much. Should I say "please?"
[ He has a solution. One that works for his tsun, works for Eichi's need to snuggle, and works for Midorima's desire to read.
As such, he gets his hand under Eichi's pits and picks him up like a wayward cat. He himself lays down on the bed on his side, then lets go of Eichi so he can turn his back to him. ]
[With his back to Eichi, he can't see the way he sort of pouts. But it doesn't matter anyway, he's aware... And he's too tired to argue about it. Defeated, he moves in to hook his arms around Midorima, pressing his face into his back and breathing in deep enough to sigh.
Fine, like this is fine!!]
You can just wake me up if I seem to be sleeping for too long.
[ Midorima does what he wants. This is what it's like to be swept up into his pace.
Admittedly, it's a much nicer pace than most people get though. He's letting Eichi keep his arms around him? Midorima needs his to hold his book or else he'd consider the other way. ]
I'll wake you up when I'm hungry.
[ Which is probably going to be around 11, the earliest possible lunch time. ]
[Eichi says it clearly enough, even if Midorima's back sort of muffles it. Hmm. He likes Midorima and all of his quirks. He understands the controlling way he is and the need for distance. But it still feels like just a halfway point of what he wants, being the only one holding on like this.
Because he's dealing with Iris traits right now, he might be more agreeable with it than he'd normally be. He might have spite slept on his own, otherwise, not that it would bother Midorima at all if he did...
But he at least can feel the warmth of someone else nearby. Someone who hasn't gone home and left him here alone. Who's planning on staying through lunch, and who knows how much longer. His eyes close, and he drifts off again before too long, breathing softly, and his rabbit ears flicking occasionally from over his head. Warm... Midorima is warm, and subconsciously, he wants even more affection, even in his sleep. So he can't help but snuggle a little closer in his sleep, including trying to slip one of his legs in a relaxed position between Midorima's, just for the contact of it.
He's asleep, so there aren't any ulterior motives. He just wants contact.]
[ Midorima stops reading and glances over his shoulder when he feels Eichi trying to pry between his legs after a genuinely embarrassing moment of fluster. He just had sex with this person not too long ago, he shouldn't still be feeling tense about physical contact, and yet when Eichi's trying to meld to him like a baby koala he can't help but get embarrassed by how affectionate he is even in his sleep. But he does seem to be asleep, so Midorima lets him for a little while, though finds that he has some trouble concentrating on his reading.
After a few moments of this he gives up on the book, then shifts to get out from Eichi's grip. He'll try not to wake him up, but he just wants to push him over so he can get on his back so he's more comfortable. If he wakes Eichi up he'll make some kind of excuse, but if he manages to do it without waking him up, once he's on his back, he'll pull Eichi back over to his side. ]
[For a moment, it almost seems like Eichi has woken up. He stirs a little, sucks in a breath, but then the noise he makes is a muffled sort of noise of protest that has no backing at all, and his breathing resumes the same, even if his eyebrows scrunch up a little.
It's exhaustion that keeps him from waking up even when Midorima pulls him closer. He's been doing too much, scheduling too much, and now even in the middle of Iris, he has to catch up. He has healing, he has pain tolerance, he has Chroma, but still his health gives him trouble.
Once he's closer again, the warmth of Midorima's body makes him nuzzle closer, too asleep to fully wrap his arm over him, but needy enough to curl his fingers against Midorima's arm. Like this, he can sleep peacefully for a little while longer... but as he falls into dreams again, his rabbit ears lower slowly, his fingers curl more, and his face scrunches up a bit. A bad dream?
Well, it means that Eichi will wake up shortly, at least.]
[ Midorima doesn't know what Eichi gets up to on a regular basis. But he knows he was tired. That's why Eichi called him early. So even if Midorima is in part staying because he doesn't want to leave after being intimate with him, it serves the purpose of making sure the busy body at his side does genuinely rest.
He notices the way Eichi send to tense even in his sleep and decides to do something he's been wanting to for some time. The blonde is asleep so he hopefully won't notice. Midorima sets his book down and reaches for his ears with one hand and gently strokes his rabbit ears, trying to soothe him as much as he is trying to investigate his ears. They're cute. ]
[The good news is that the nightmare is completely interrupted by the stroking. One of Eichi's ears twitches under the touch, but then they still. They're incredibly soft, and... incredibly sensitive.
So Eichi's breathing changes a little, a quick and quiet inhale, and then after some moments, a noise like a whimper or a whine. But that's enough to wake him up, and he stirs, shifting a little closer, fingers curling over Midorima's shirt as he blinks blearily awake.
He's staring right at Midorima's face from the side, now, so did he manage to withdraw his hand in time...!]
