"(815): I've noticed we have slowly begun to phase the "B" out of our Bromance." Action | Closed

[deathcough]

Who: Souji and Hajime
Where: Souji's apartment
When: like a day before the werewolf hunt or w/e

[Honestly, Souji likes this part of his relationship with Hajime. The part where he has a key and comes in, doesn't even have to announce himself anymore, and will fix Souji dinner like it's no big deal. The part here they can hang out without saying a word, communicating through nonverbal means and gestures that they can easily read into. The looks and touches and other little nuances they've grown so used to over the years.

Souji stifles a yawn and stands in the middle of his living room, stealing glances at Hajime finishing cooking their evening meal as he flicks through netflix]

What are you in the mood for? I don't really feel like a horror movie...

Comments

[iaijutsu]

[...really comfortable.

It takes Hajime a moment to realize that his eyes have closed, but Souji's voice brings him back to reality enough for him to open them again.]

Yes?

[deathcough]

You should... [Souji pauses, licks his lip, and hesitates.]

You should promise to not leave me. No matter what happens, stay with me.

[iaijutsu]

[It's funny how Souji says that like it's something Hajime has to promise first.

Because really, for all that he doesn't breathe a word of it out loud, Hajime isn't sure what he'd do without Souji, either. Souji may have driven everyone else who might've given him a chance away, but Hajime...

...Hajime just isn't used to getting those chances in the first place. Nobody approached him, and he never went looking.

Nobody but Souji.]

I promise.

[deathcough]

...Good. [His grip tightens briefly before relaxing again, continuing to rub circles again.]

And I won't leave you either. Ever. [A low chuckle] You're stuck with me forever.

[iaijutsu]

...I'm glad.

[He sinks back a little deeper against Souji.]

[deathcough]

[Souji relaxes himself, yawning as he starts to drift off himself. Briefly he entertains the idea that maybe he should get Hajime up before they really do fall asleep--or at the very least maybe they should crash on his bed, but...

Well, that requires effort and energy that Souji just doesn't have. So he shifts, gets a little more comfortable, and leans his head down. Sleep time.]

[iaijutsu]

[If he weren't already this tired, Hajime might wonder if it's really in any way appropriate to be thinking about what a good pillow his best friend makes.

Oh well.]

[deathcough]

[no homo man we're just two teenagers with dubious heterosexuality cuddling on a couch together while sleeping. Vaguely homoerotic feelings are a natural part of the equation.

Right?? The fact Souji may or my not end up lacing his fingers with Hajime's is also totally...normal. Yes.]

[iaijutsu]

[Just as normal as the fact that Hajime is in no way pulling away from it and might in fact tighten his grip a little in response.]
