do you hear me?

he was beyond tired and the one thing he wanted to do the most was sleep but that would make his time with his girlfriend shorter which he didn’t want but then again when they arrived home he was sitting on the couch and without noticing he fell asleep as he waits for her to be done showering. he didn’t noticed she was out and looking for him around the house until she spotted him there sleeping.

he felt something moving next to him as if someone just took a sit next to him and was staring at him. he could feel someone’s gaze on him and then a familiar voice reached his ears but he couldn’t quite catch what she said and then his eyes opened slowly. he blinks a few times and then he feels her fingers touching his skin on his cheek. he turns his head to face kaoru who was staring at him intently.

“did… did i fell asleep? sorry i’m just a little tired….” he then got up and stretched his arms while letting out a sigh. “you’re done showering? guess is my turn now.” he then went over the bathroom but before entering he stopped. “kaoru?” he then turned to face her again. “did you say something while i was asleep?” he heard her voice but he couldn’t tell what she said to him or more like to herself.

     when he stirs,  kaoru edges back,  watching as hajime sits up to stretch,  his built form imparting a view that she never fails to enjoy.  of course,  she doesn’t only like him for his looks,  but the fact that he’s practically irresistible does aid in her attraction to him.  “ you did fall asleep,  but it’s okay.  it wasn’t that long, “  she replies pleasantly,  getting up to move out of his way as he got up.

He’s genuinely thought she’s asleep but when a hand reaches out to him, he catches it, mingling his strands and their fingers together. He brings her hand to his lips and kisses her knuckles, then looks at her.

“——apologies, milady,” Nezumi smiles and rolls to the side and towards her, “You beauty has stolen words from my tongue; I am utterly smitten,” he cooes and hovers his hand above her chest.

She’s beautiful, even more so with her cheeks flushed and eyes drowsy. The alcohol breath isn’t exactly attractive, but he can omit that for the time being. Fingers gently caress the buttons of her shirt and Nezumi smiles again, then undoes the top three.

“How’s this? Better?”

     “ you’re so dramatic, “  she slurs,  copper hues turning up to his face.  even in state,  she isn’t sure that she can bear nezumi’s theatrical dialogue.  a long week of work has her at her wit’s end and drinking has done well to melt her nerves.  a night together with nezumi is the perfect way to wrap it all up.

     “ fuwaaah...i feel much better. “  it’s hard to expect a thunderstorm on a day that starts off with perfectly clear skies.  a quick run brings them to hajime’s place------though it’s one of the few times that she’s actually taken her own clothes home,  but she finds that there’s little regret in getting to wear her boyfriend’s clothes after a good shower.  and by clothes,  i mean one of his t-shirts and....that’s it.  after a quick inspection around the room,  she finds that hajime isn’t present,  so she pokes her nose around every corner until she finds him laying on the couch,  lightly snoozing.  kaoru is quick to ease herself to his side,  crouching by the couch and quietly examining him for a moment.

     “ nearly eight years,  huh.... “  she mumbles softly,  fingers gingerly prodding his cheek.  “ so handsome,  yet you haven’t changed a bit. “

     “ do you hear me?  i’m talking to you,  ne-zu-mi. “  an arm rolls out,  fingertips barely reaching the end of his hair,  and she gives a gentle pull from where she lays.  she’s a little drunk,  but that’s nothing that the male hasn’t seen yet------he must feel lucky,  though,  that she’s lethargic enough to not cause a ruckus.  “ it’s hot------won’t you unbutton my shirt for me? “
