[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...!]
[ Midorima's too relaxed for good enough reflexes to go completely unnoticed. So instead, he does the next best thing. He stops touching his ear and picks up his book again. ]
Your ear kept twitching against me, it had to be stopped.
[ The excuse is laid before the accusations can begin. :| ]
Is that it? It felt as though you were rubbing it...
[He lifts his hand to his ear himself, one eye closed as he touches at it. Hmm. It was twitching? He's skeptical, a little, but at the same time... He can't imagine Midorima touching him for any other reason.]
It was likely due to the dream I was having. I apologize. [It was distressing! He remembers that much... Blinking a few times, he pushes himself up onto an elbow, peering at the book Midorima is reading. His hair is a little fluffy from how disheveled it is, and he still looks sleepy, but... He can't sleep all day. And he's getting hungry.]
How late is it? I hope you were able to entertain yourself.
You're spoiled, aren't you, Midorima-kun? If I don't eat, I could become faint and pass out, but even I'll risk that much to see if I can't push you a little past that.
[ He doesn't answer that. If Eichi doesn't see it for the good deed it is that he owes him for then there's no point in further lingering on it?? Eichi is so rude. (It's.. definitely Eichi not Midorima...)
He gives him a rather grumpy look, then shares: ]
Cordis moon makes me hungrier than normal, yes, but that energy need can be satisfied with something other than food that we don't need to move for.
[ He's saying he could just bang Eichi again and be ok. Yes, he's that spoiled. He doesn't even argue against the accusation. ]
But either the kindness of your heart will have you moving before me to the phone, or you'll give in and show me some more love, right? It seems like a win-win situation, you know? Even if I end up exhausted.
[He's really pushing this. Honestly, he's not as cold as he makes himself out to be, so he'll definitely give in after a point, but... He also wants to see how this goes.
Mostly because he wants to feel loved in some way, so maybe it's a mistake to push buttons like this.]
[ Midorima's heart is kind, but his face and attitude is not. Which is why he moves to push Eichi over to the other side of the bed so he's right next to the phone. ]
I'll move you and the problem is solved.
[ He's not pushing hard or being rough or anything so there's a good chance Eichi can fight him on this if he isn't caught completely off guard. ]
[He is completely caught off guard, so he's pushed right on over, left colder than moments before even if he is closer to the phone. It's startling, and Eichi is most certainly pouting over it... which is exactly why he grabs the phone and turns completely away from Midorima, plotting.]
I wonder... You can satisfy your hunger in any way, right? So I'll order food just for myself.
[He won't, really, but he's absolutely trying to get a rise out of him by being like this.]

[ ...An accurate one. Hush. ]
Late enough for lunch time.
[ If Eichi is hungry, Midorima certainly is. Cordis moon is a bitch.
He also kind of wants to keep rubbing Eichi, but he'll leave that at an odd, lingering stare at his ears. ]
Order food.
no subject
Ehh... You're the one who had an idea for food, didn't you? I don't mind paying, but you should order it.
no subject
[ Midorima doesn't quite know how it got over there but it's on Eichi's side?? And he could just walk around but he also.
Is quite comfortable and quite spoiled right now. ]
no subject
Can't you just reach over me?
no subject
[ He's going to have an Iris Problem. This is clearly reason enough for Midorima to do it. For Eichi's sake, obviously. ]
no subject
[ He says it with a playful laugh, squeezing his arm. ]
That’s all I can smell already, you know? I can control myself.
[ With difficulty. Midorima could definitely be irresistible with them both in these states, but he’s not going to admit to that. ]
no subject
That may be so, but I don't want to get up.
[ And that is reason enough for him.. not to.. ]
no subject
no subject
No one's ever had that response before!!! ]
I let you sleep against me.
[ He obviously even changed positions so they would both be comfortable!! ]
no subject
[Well, at least he stops pinching.]

[Midorima. Please rethink this.]

I'm saying that I have a source of energy, you'll only get more exhausted, so you should be the one to move.

no subject
[Joke's on you, Midorima!! Until Keito arrives, Eichi's fridge and cabinets are e m p t y other than tea.
It's kind of pathetic, actually.]
no subject
[ Even if Eichi, like Midorima, can't cook for shit those can at least be eaten raw.
He'll drink all of his tea and just pee all day then!!]no subject
[He sighs, and rolls back over after a moment, handing out the phone to Midorima.]
Your stubbornness has won out, at least a little. Though I'm sure you're used to that.
