So uhm, rei *sliding money across the table*
“I am NOT falling asleep. ‘m not tired at all.” Your lips felt so heavy, butyou somehow managed to mumble all that without snoring mid-sentence, which wasdecidedly an admirable feat. Especially considering how tempting it was toclose your eyes, even for just a second or two…
Rei’s quietlittle chuckle made for a sweeter lullaby than the train’s endless rumble. “Areyou really certain ? I can lend you my shoulder as a pillow.” Your inarticulategroan only made him laugh again, eyes shining with affection so sincere youcould only hide your reddening cheeks against his chest.
It wasn’texactly the most comfortable mattress, but his warm embrace and his soft, gentlehumming lulled you deeper into sleep, until you were barelyclinging to consciousness.
“I’m gonnadrool on you.” Your half-muffled threat wasn’t very convincing, and the soothingsound of Rei’s heartbeat was shaken up by his laughter for a moment.
“Please do,my love. I shall wear it like a badge of courage.” Without even needing to open your eyes, youknew he was smiling— that gentle, loving smile you could never resist. His handwas the most loving comb, brushing your soft locks with quiet reverence.
“You betterwake me up once we’re there, or else I’ll….” Talking was too tiresome, and yourlips fell close as you drifted further into sleep. Rei’s chest was rising, thenfalling, in a hypnotizing cycle; one that soon had you abandoning all pretensesand briefly letting consciousness aside for a short nap.
Rei’s handstopped its loving motions on your head, whispering as to not wake you up from your flimsy slumber.
“I’m afraidI may not resist the temptation to join you in your dreams, darling…”
