They hold hands all night. Every time one of them moves, Subaru wakes up and tightens his grip on Yasu's hand. Rationally, he know Yasu's not going anywhere but it takes longer for his body to process the information thoroughly enough for it to reach every muscle and nerve in his body. He sleeps too lightly for it to be really restful but it doesn’t matter. At the dawn of his new life, he’s never felt more alive.

In the morning, the first thing that catches his eye upon waking up is a blond curl, sticking up awkwardly in the air and catching the light like a lost piece of gold. Sunlight is streaming though a thin crack between the curtains, stretching into a long bright stripe all the way across the room to Yasu’s lips. Subaru watches, transfixed, as Yasu sighs in his sleep, tongue darting out to taste the sun on his lips.

Subaru feels himself falling in love all over again.

Carefully, he leans in to trace Yasu’s jawline with his lips. The skin is warm, just the slightest bit prickly under his chin. To Subaru, it has the taste of dreams and reality.

Yasu makes a soft sound and moves a bit, bringing one hand up to tangle into Subaru’s hair. And then he wakes up. Subaru remains close, hovering barely a few inches above Yasu’s face as Yasu blinks away the last tendrils of sleep. Subaru’s heartbeat accelerates suddenly and he has to hold his breath for a moment. It’s the old and too familiar insecurity, wrapping around his neck like a silk ribbon and tying into a tight knot at the base of his throat. He doesn’t know if he should breathe, if he can...

And then Yasu smiles.

“Morning,” he says, voice heavy with sleep.

Subaru exhales softly. “Morning,” he says back, barely above a murmur.

“Did you get any sleep?” Yasu asks. His tone is low too, and it feels intimate in a way that sends a thrill running through Subaru’s body. He wants to kiss him but doesn’t. Yasu’s hand moves into his hair, smoothing it back off of his face.

“Yeah,” Subaru answers. It’s not exactly a lie: he did get some.

Yasu grins. “Liar.” He shakes his head a bit. “I could feel you watching all night.”

Subaru’s eyes widen a bit but Yasu’s tone is tender and unaccusing. “If you were awake then why didn’t you say so?” He pouts.

“And have you not get any sleep at all?” Yasu chuckles and Subaru pouts just a bit more emphatically.

“If you were worried about that then you should have made sure I was completely exhausted.”

“I’ll keep that in mind for next time.”

Yasu’s words act like electricity running fast through Subaru’s veins. It makes hair stand on end all over his body. In a matter of seconds, Subaru finds himself on top of Yasu, kissing him hungrily. Yasu makes a little sound of surprise, muffled against Subaru’s lips, and Subaru answers by pushing his tongue past Yasu’s lips.

The kiss is slow but passionate. Subaru pushes Yasu back into the mattress and straddles his hips. Yasu’s hand crawl up Subaru’s thighs under the covers and come to squeeze Subaru’s butt. Subaru reacts by rolling his hips into Yasu’s. Everything is a bit clumsy. The bedsheets are wrapped tight around them and they can hardly move. Yasu starts fighting them off while Subaru trails kisses down his neck. They end up in a different position, with Yasu half on top of Subaru instead.

Now exposed, Yasu’s skin seems to glow in the sunlight. On his shoulder, the bedsheets have printed small wrinkles into the naturally smooth skin. Subaru runs his fingers along the lines, then leans in to trace the patterns with the tip of his tongue. When Yasu’s fingers dig into his shoulders, Subaru sucks gently on the skin.

“Ah, Subaru!” Yasu arches into Subaru’s touch but then his hands on Subaru’s shoulders are actually pushing him away. “Wait,” Yasu pants. “Wait.” Subaru stops. He sits back on his heels and looks at Yasu, a bit confused. “Let’s take a shower first, okay? Brush our teeth and all...” He gives Subaru a reassuring smile. “We’re in no hurry,” he adds softly.

Subaru pouts. “Fine,” he says sulkily. It’s more for effect than anything else. Of course, he doesn’t want to wait, he wants Yasu here and now, but at the same time having time - waiting not for the sake of others, because of rules and restrictions, but because they can - feels new and exciting.

Yasu pokes Subaru’s hip playfully and gives him a quick peck on the lips. “We can bathe together if you want,” he throws casually over his shoulder on his way out of the room.

Subaru probably has never agreed to anything so quickly in his life.
