“You looked too comfortable to wake up.”

It had taken a while to ease into big Eorzean beds, the mattresses were always too soft, the pillows too overly stuffed, and blankets upon blankets made him feel trapped. He'd spent too much time along the tree tops of the Golmore Jungle, had spend countless nights sleeping high up on the canopy, his bed either a sturdy branch or - if he wasn't feeling particularly lazy that evening - a wind rocked hammock swinging high above the jungle floor.
To be fair, it had taken him a long time to get used to sleeping on the ground during his years among the Xeala. Dangers usually kept far below were now able to come in close proximity.
But Eorzeans - and Sharlayans to an even greater degree - seemed to revel in the luxury of soft beddings. That Kou had managed to burrow into the thick comforters and find himself able to sleep spoke of the exhaustion the Viera shouldered. But to wake to the face of this Elezen in particular brought about a silent smile and warm eyes.
"Oh, but I'd rather be more comfortable if you'd join me." He scooted over, opening the bed space for Vespera to climb into.
Unlike his bed hesitance over the years wandering ever westward, Kou had taken quiet a liking to sharing his sleeping areas with others. Lonely nights were far behind him and he easily pulled the taller male into his arms, spooning him and holding him close as if he were his most sacred of treasures.
