His Responsibility

[dragonicstar]

He was delighted when he felt the mattress shift, a little less so when Jack ended up lying a little farther than Tasuku would’ve liked.

“Mm… Not quite.”

A situation Tasuku easily remedied by inching closer, wrapping his arms around Jack’s midriff and pressing his face into his shoulder.

“There. That’s better, don’t you think?”

He looked up at Jack. “Are you okay with this?”

He always had to make sure.

Having nothing to hide when they were already this close, Jack nussled his nose against Tasuku’s fluffy, sky blue curls, his own arms winding around his petite waist loosely. “Yeah... Tasuku’s scent is so.. gentle.” Humming sleepily, Jack was quickly lulled by the feel of Tasuku’s form against his own, losing more and more consciousness with each passing second. “Hmnm... wake m’up... later.. I've gotta cook... hmn..”

His Responsibility

“Aw, Jack. Don’t worry about me, okay? I don’t see how it’ll be any different, anyway. Your mini form still has a lot of sharp edges. Not that I mind at all.”

He smiled fondly up at his Buddy.

“You’ve been working so hard to take care of me these past few days. You ought to reward yourself with some well-earned rest. Besides, you like being cuddled while you’re in human form, don’t you? You can’t hide it from me.”

Tasuku’s hand still lingered over the spot beside him, and he stared at Jack expectantly. “I want this too, so… You can put your mind at ease. I know you won’t hurt me.”

Much to his own chagrin, Jack’s cheeks turned a sharp variant of pink, ashamed that he was so easily read. Of course he reveled in being close to Tasuku whenever he could, but to readily admit he enjoyed something like cuddling was...! He resisted a grumble and instead sucked back his pride. He was far too tired to argue... “Fine...” Politely removing his favorite blazer and setting it aside, all the while loosening his tie too, Jack sluggishly crawled onto the mattress beside his Buddy. Already he could feel his warmth radiating towards him, making his susceptibility to the wiles of sleep all the more prominent. “Is this... okay..?”

His Responsibility

“Sorry. I ended up causing you more trouble in the end…”

He laughed softly at Jack’s show of exhaustion.

“You’re not planning on sleeping there, are you? That’ll be really uncomfortable. C’mere.” Tasuku patted the spot beside him. “It’s a lot more comfortable here… Not to mention warmer! I’d imagine it’d be harder to sleep anywhere now that you can’t curl up into a little ball like you used to.”

“Ah... but...” The thought of reopening Tasuku’s injuries due to carelessness crossed Jack’s mind--what if he moved or jerked around in his sleep? What if he accidentally hurt Tasuku without even meaning to..? “Mnm... should I resume my mini form instead? This might be...” Jack trailed off, his irritating headache causing his words to fall short against his tongue. “I mean... I might hurt you...”

His Responsibility

“O-ow… Ouch…”

He tried desperately to keep the complaints in, but some noises of discomfort slipped out as Jack bound his wound with fresh bandages. 

“Nn… I’m fine, Jack… I don’t feel as bad as I did last night. You worry too much.”

Although…he had promised both Jack and the entire rest of the Buddy Police he would take it easy. Tasuku let his shirt fall over the fresh bandages and sat back, propped against pillows that had been placed on the couch beforehand.

“How about you? You’ve barely had a chance to rest…”

[ryuenjijack-blog]

Applying pressure to the bridge of his nose in attempt to ease his headache, it was far too difficult for Jack to deny his sleep depravity. “Nng... I know, I know, but I’ve been worried half to death.” Heaving out a big sigh, Jack sprawled out his torso across the foot of the bed, arms stretching across Tasuku’s blanketed lap. His head just fell short of reaching the other’s thigh, half burying his face into the soft duvet. Heavy lids drooped over Jack’s amber eyes, almost sheepishly peering up at his Buddy. “But now that you’re stabilized some, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to try and take it easy a bit..”

His Responsibility

Fresh bandages were being wound around Tasuku’s petite, barren waist as a shallow injury was already beginning to scab over. The price of a reckless action that very well could have costed the young Buddy Cop his life, Jack was simply elated that it hadn’t been the case. For as many times as the other put himself in the line of danger, he was incredibly lucky to have gotten away with such minor injuries... Though that didn’t entail that Tasuku’s delicate body could handle it very well.

“Sheesh.. you gave me such a scare last night. How’s that fever?” Pressing the back of his hand to his forehead for good measure, there was somewhat of a remnant from the evening previous, that usually pallen skin of Tasuku’s still somewhat flushed.
