@tsukimyoā:Ā Ā Ā silver's still sleepy, it clinging to his lashes so heavily that it makes it difficult for him to really wake up. regardless, his hand comes out to allow his fingertips to gently brush o'er the rounded out tips of sebek's ear, then to tuck a lock of his hair behind said ear. a murmur, blunt yet ... gentle: "you should keep your hair down." then his hand drops & he simply shuffles away.
sebek is a bit late getting ready this morning, having had somehow slept through his alarm. by the time he woke up it was already close to when he needs to wake silver up ( the first time as silver has a habit of falling back asleep ) lest the elder boy sleep longer & miss his classes. therefore heās not completely ready when he strides into silverās bedroom, having only managed to change into his school uniform.Ā āĀ Ā silver!Ā Ā āĀ his voice booms, sharp & clear,Ā āĀ Ā itās time to wake up!Ā Ā ā
as expected silver does not wake immediately, merely making a sleepy groan & turning over in bed. sebek huffs, growing vaguely irritated. does silver think sebek enjoys coming in here every morning? or that he likes having to take out several minutes of his day to make sure silver does his job? heās so inconsiderate of him, especially when sebek has already lost a good portion of time today to get ready.Ā
sebek moves forward so that heās beside silverās bed. he calls silverās name out again, this time louder as he reaches to give the other boy a firm shake. thankfully this time silver does wake, letting out a yawn as he turns to face sebek looming over him.Ā ā hmm?...good morning sebek. ā silverās eyes are heavy, a sort of dazed look in his gaze.Ā
āĀ Ā good morning, silver,Ā Ā āĀ sebek replies, his greeting far more irritable sounding than silverās had been. silver doesnāt seem to mind this however, his gaze still fixed on sebek, particularly on sebekās hair. the human boy reaches forward & to sebekās surprise moves to run his fingers through sebekās loose hair.Ā
sebek stiffens, reptilian eyes widening at the touch. no one has ever touched him like this before --- save perhaps his mother. thereās something so incredibly intimate about the gesture that it brings a chill to sebekās spine. instinctively he reaches out to grasp silverās wrist, hoping to stop the other from touching him. the grip itself is not very tight despite sebekās tenseness & silver could very easily free himself if he wanted. he doesnāt need to however as silver speaks, uttering a simple suggestion to keep sebekās hair down & sebek is so startled he drops silverās wrist.Ā
silver seems hardly bothered by this, simply letting out another yawn & finally getting out of bed & moving to the other side of the room to get ready. sebek stands motionless at the side of silverās bed, having not moved an inch since silver had touched his hair. it takes the first year another few seconds to recuperate, his brain feeling fuzzy & his face feeling rather warm. once heās pulled himself together he simply shuffles out of the room quietly without giving silver so much as a goodbye.Ā
by the time he returns to his own room sebek has very little time to do what he needs to do to finish getting ready. having only about five minutes before he needs to leave for class. which of course means he doesnāt have time to style his hair before his first class. itās a far from ideal situation as he prefers not to be seen untidy in front of lord malleus & the rest of his peers.Ā
yet he wonders if silver had known this. if this was his plan all along to make sebek be seen as less efficient & as the inferior guard. what an underhanded tactic. sebek certainly will not let silver have the upper hand.Ā but for now as they walk to class together silver can think heās won all he wants. sebek will recover from this. he is after all an incredibly capable guard.
even so sebek fails to realize why silverās smiling as they walk to class together.Ā
