Insomnia, he’d learned long ago, was a cruel mistress... and he was her slave. Tossing and turning all night was certainly not how he'd planned to spend the moonlit hours, but it seemed as though Insomnia had other plans. With a soft sigh he turned on to his side, resting his head against his hand, and gazed down on his peacefully sleeping lover. He wrinkled his nose at him and was almost tempted to wake him up.
It wasn't fair that the other could sleep and he couldn't.
As mischievous as he could be at times, he wasn't mean enough to wake him up. He knew just how little his lover slept, and there was no way he was going to take his sleep from him. As he stared down at him, the smaller man seemed unaffected by his troubles.
Tuti sighed, speaking in a quiet, subdued tone. "... Shouldn't you be awake with me? I thought you're supposed to be the one who calms me down the night before a show... and you're sleeping. What kind of boyfriend are you?"
Takashi responded with a soft snore and turned over again, presenting his back to Tuti.
"... Figures." Tuti sulked and stuck out his tongue, pleased that Takashi was turned away and didn't see him. A glance at the clock over Takashi’s shoulder told him that it was the middle of the night and he knew that if he didn't get to sleep soon, he was going to be a wreck and liable to get in all kinds of trouble with Leader. He shifted again, kicking sheets and blankets away, huffing when he just couldn't get comfortable, and wished he could be like Takashi and just let all of his troubles go and sleep peacefully.
It just wasn't fair.
Although... if Takashi happened to wake up on his own, he certainly couldn't be blamed for it... right?
With a smile that was more of a smirk, Tuti reached out a hand and placed his fingers along his lover's bare back, gaze flickering to Takashi's face. Nothing yet…
He gently walked his fingers along the ridge of his lover’s spine, closely watching Takashi’s face for any change in his tranquil expression. Seeing none, he continued, sliding his fingers lower until the angle became too awkward to allow more movement. He turned his hand slowly, moving upwards again, and this time traced soft, light patterns along his unblemished skin, feeling the still muscles and the beguiling strength his boyfriend possessed.
When his fingers reached the small of his back, Takashi finally stirred, turning over with a light moan. Tuti laughed silently, shaking his head, and spoke in that soft tone once again. “… Are you trying to tell me that I’m being silly? That I’m wasting perfectly good sleeping time bothering you?”
The cheek that pressed against his chest and the soft breath that passed through his faded tee to warm his skin was his answer.
“… But watching you sleep is better…”
Still sleeping soundly, Takashi’s arm flung itself over his hips, forcing the breath from Tuti’s lungs in a surprised whoosh of air. “… oww… okay, okay… I’ll go to sleep…” Tuti chuckled softly, shifting into a more comfortable position, and moved his arm around his lover, fingers resting lightly against the small of his back.
“… You’re right, as usual.” Pressing a kiss to Takashi’s hair, Tuti closed his eyes and finally fell asleep.
