Fai/Kurogane
Fai blinked sleepily at Kurogane before murmuring something he could barely hear and snuggling closer. Kurogane grumbled, but they both knew he wasn’t nearly as annoyed as he pretended to be, and wrapped an arm around him, keeping the blond pressed close. He kept the other arm under his pillow, propping up his head enough that he could continue his lazy watch over Fai’s sleep, rememorizing the small scars and freckles littered over his body. He was half tempted to trace them with his fingers again, but he didn’t want t give up his hold on Fai.
“I’m surprised you’re not already up,” Fai mumbled into the skin of his chest. Kurogane shrugged, a low hum leaving his lips, and Fai sighed contentedly when Kurogane stayed where he was. In response, Kurogane unwrapped his arm from around Fai to run his hand over the soft skin of his back, up and down in a soothing motion that had Fai nuzzling at his neck.
“It feels nice to be home,” Fai murmured into his neck before he stiffened in surprise at his own words, and Kurogane just knew those blue eyes were open wide. He had never called Nihon home before. In fact, Kurogane couldn’t remember Fai calling any place home. He pressed a kiss to his cheek in the hopes it would calm him, Fai immediately turning into the touch.
“It is,” he finally replied, and Fai relaxed against him.
