one shot: breathe this space.
I was getting out of the bath today and don't look at me like that and I had this little idea in my head, and then I sat down against my cabinet and the doors kinda came together and pinched me like fingers would and that
yeah.
Kaoru flinches when he steps out of the shower onto the cold tile, which turns into a sort of double flinch when water runs between his toes and tickles slightly, and then a triple flinch because there's water on the the floor and that just means another mess to clean up along with the piles of dirty laundry beside the toilet and the toothpaste on the sink faucet. Too much to do and, almost literally, no time to do it.
Drying his body on the way into the bedroom, he sits on the bed to begin toweling his hair off and he ends up sitting on one lanky arm thrown across the mattress.
He shifts off the limb and notices a still clothed Toshiya sprawled out everywhere
, too far gone into sleep to just be woken up by Kaoru's weight on his arm. In fact, he could literally be everywhere, because Kaoru has to scoot up onto the pillows, practically into the fetal position just to have enough room to even get onto the bed.
And Kaoru just watches. There's few moments when Kaoru is awake and Toshiya is asleep because if one is asleep, the other usually is but right now Kaoru is nothing but awake and alert.
Because why else would he close his eyes for a second when he has this in front of him while he's awake.
Unfortunately, he's getting cramped sitting like this so he grudgingly places his thumb and index finger on either side of Toshiya's spine and pinches, just enough to be a shock, and holds it until the familiar twitching around Toshiya's eyes show that he's waking up.
He opens them just enough to catch Kaoru's face, squints against the light, and smacks his side with the back of his hand. "God could you have some common courtesy--"
"Well, I'm kinda cramped here, and you were all over the place. No more making fun of me for sleeping like the dead," Kaoru retorts as Toshiya sits up groggily and runs his fingers back through his hair.
He blinks a few times and starts to move off the bed, mumbling something like need a shower too but Kaoru catches the bassist's wrist before he gets too far and says, "No, you come here."
Toshiya acquiesces, lowering his body on top of the other, all lethargic limbs and heavy eyes but Kaoru just doesn't care because it's Toshiya lying on him, soft skin against his torso and his legs getting entangled with the guitarist in a comfortable way and hair brushing against sharp cheekbones, tickling Kaoru's nose, and they wrap their arms around each other when Kaoru kisses Toshiya's eyebrow and Toshiya presses his lips against the ink on Kaoru's neck.
"...towel's in the way."
"Then why are you still wearing clothes?" Toshiya snickers at that but doesn't do anything to solve this 'problem' because whether or not there are clothes in the way or sheets or whatever he doesn't care right now, and as much as he'd like to blame that sleep-induced laziness, it's true that he doesn't want to do anything about it because it's just too comfortable like this, between Kaoru's enfolded arms and his torso and feeling slowing, soft breath stirring his hair.
The laundry will not get done, and the water will dry, and the sink will stay dirty and the towel will be wet in the morning from lying on the floor all night and not hanging it up but that's all fine, that's all fine because underneath the sheets and each other everything else is meaningless compared to having this moment and this night to themselves, sharing with each other.
