*smiles gently* I like when you tease me. *laughs very softly, until Renji kisses his hand and that quiets him right away, leaving just a wistful smile as Renji settles his head on his lap* *automatically, a hand goes to Renji's head and he rubs his fingers softly across Renji's scalp and forehead and cheek and ear, almost tenderly and carefully, as he settles enough to sit with Renji for a bit and watch the lake* ...Okay, Renji. I wasn't planning on leaving...until you drive me off. *he speaks quietly and fondly to Renji, placing his other arm over Renji's side and loosely threading his fingers through Renji's, because he doesn't want to go anywhere else right now but here* I'll stay all night if you want me to.

*sighs and relaxes, comforted by Eiji's touch, and thinks that this might be the first time in days that he's felt this calm*

*half an hour later, he realises that he fell asleep on Eiji as he wakes up to Eiji's hand still in his hair, and still holding onto his hand* ...Eiji? You could have woken me. *sits up, wincing a little as his back cracks* Are your legs numb?
