Some people had the luxury of resting easy at night; Kaz did not. There were a number of reasons for that, some straightforward but most complicated, the most simple of them being his natural reluctance to let his guard down. Even asleep, even among friends, it was difficult and produced something of a weird topsy-turvy result where he was stuck on the edge of consciousness against a backdrop of dreams. Sometimes he dreamt of people he knew, from Mother Base or Japan or from the battlefields that had blended together over the past two years, moving their lips but producing no sound, shouting or crying at him voicelessly. Other times he dreamt in colors -- the warm orange glow of the sun setting over Costa Rica, the murky blue twilight that followed after a fresh rainfall, the pitch darkness of what he assumed utter loneliness would take if it had a form.

It was only when he slept that the usual emotions he kept hidden the best of times--longing, guilt, resentment--were able to manifest themselves in a plethora of abstract shapes and sensations. Tonight was no different, though if had a stitch of awareness left within him he might have considered this particular night a tad more intense than the others. He perceived a weight on his chest and a lump in his throat even if he wasn't really feeling it, and a fine frown was etched on the lips he kept pressed into his pillow.

("Naze satta no ka?")

"Ore..." Kaz murmured the word into his bedsheets, twisting a little and inadvertently pushing his back up against something very broad and warm. "...wa koko yo..."

Sleepy and distant, it wasn't intended to be a response to whatever it was that was whispered to him. He was fast asleep and couldn't even identify the arm around his waist as belonging to Big Boss, but he welcomed the security it provided him.
