You woke up in the same position you fell asleep in; in your extraterrestrial's embrace, in his bed. Slight vibrations could be felt coming from his chest, but they weren't as strong as when he was awake.
You carefully raised your head, which was still heavy from sleep, and saw his pale blue face. Lissinlaciss's big eyes were closed, facial muscles relaxed and mouth lightly opened. Well, the upper mouth.
The lower mouth was fully closed at the level of your knees. You innocently wondered how sharp his teeth must be.. Are they sharp? Maybe they are more round at the edges...
Thoughts about whether it would be rude to ask if you could touch his lower teeth filled your head. You were a little stiff from the way Lissinlaciss had his long pale blue arm resting on you.
You tried to get into a better position with careful movements, but the carefulness wasn't enough. One of your knees touched his lower mouth, waking him up.
At first he seemed a little disoriented, quickly got his bearings however. His ér-ing became louder at the sight of you in his arms. „Oops, sorry..." you began in half a whisper. „I didn't meant to wake you."
„Um.." Lissin didn't know what to say, he didn't expect to fall asleep. It startled you a bit when he spoke in his extraterrestrial tongue. Stopping him in the middle of a sentence, you finally got into a better position and asked him to give you your translator back, not knowing where he put it before you fell asleep.
Lissin quickly, still sleepily, looked around the bed and felt for your translator, which he then placed behind your ear. „I was just asking if you're okay, if you need anything..." He repeated in english.
You explained to him that you just wanted to get into a more comfortable position, waking him on accident. You two just lay there, still very close, looking at each other sleepily; he had his head bowed, you had yours tilted back so you could see each other's faces.
After a while, Lissin cleared his throat. „That was.. the best sleep I had in a few months." „Truly?" you asked. „Yes, I wonder if it's thanks to your presence or simply that my new medication works." That sentence made you blink twice. „Do you mean the pills we got at that place today?" „Yes." he confirmed.
„..I don't think you took them though."
Silence. You could hear a pin drop. Lissinlaciss's big extraterrestrial eyes widened, if that was even possible, as his ér-ing got louder once more.

Turns out Lissinlaciss's problem with sleeping didn't require any special medicine, exercise, therapy or anything he has ever tried. Your presence was the cure.
Seems you had slept for about three hours. However, since you were not pressed for time and had nothing planned, there was no need to worry or rush the day. The afternoon nap benefited both of you.
Lissinlaciss peeked you silently, his seven fingers drumming against the pale blue couch you two sat on. An uncomfortable silence engulfed the entire room and thoughts swirled around your minds. You had no idea what Lissin was thinking about, however your thoughts kept wandering to... his lower mouth.
You swallowed. 'Don’t ask,' you told yourself. 'that would be rude.!' But curiosity burned too brightly.
„Lissin…” you began, voice barely above a whisper. „I'm a little... embarrassed, I'd say, to ask about something." He turned his head slightly, not facing you completely, the corners of his eyes shimmering with quiet amusement. „Ask about anything, Y/N, communication is the most important when it comes to living together."
And with that he lowered his head, appearing more at your level. You felt heat rush to your cheeks. „Right...” you gulped. „So um, I’m just—curious. About the teeth in your..." gaze dropped from his face to his abdomen. „...L-lower mouth. The texture, the shape… You know.”
A low, melodic sound left him- something that your translator decided to keep in his original voice, half a laugh, half a sigh continuing right after. “It is alright to be curious,” he said softly, holding back an ér. “I'm okay with letting you... explore a little.”
Your heart skipped as you leaned closer, drawn by something far beyond science. The air between you felt like it was filled with unspoken trust, the kind that felt both unnerving and strangely safe.
'I would expect them to be disgusted, but it seems like a lot of the things I've read about humans are consistent with the idea that curiosity is one of their strongest qualities.' Lissinlaciss's thoughts wandered around the knowledge he had about your race, yet feeling such personal emotions at your request to look at his lower mouth closer.
With a slow movement, he began to open his lower jaws. A saliva string reflected the living room light before you saw his huge teeth, surrounding an even larger tongue.
For a long moment neither of you spoke. The soft hum of the room seemed to wrap around you, filling the silence that followed his quiet permission. You could almost see hesitation in his big extraterrestrial eyes. The way his hands tightened slightly on the pale blue material of the couch made you shift your posture, yet he made no move to stop you.
„I don’t want to make you uncomfortable,” you said at last, backing up a little. His eyes suddenly glistened with something similar to a fragile patience. Lissinlaciss didn't say anything, not realizing he was holding his breath. „it feels a bit like... insolence."
„There's nothing wrong with wanting to explore and learn." His sentence came out more politely than he wanted it to come out.
Lissin's coaxing paid off. Growing more confident, your hand reached for one of the big teeth, covered in a slim blanket of saliva. At the first touch, a chill ran through you... Not necessarily a bad one. The consistency was not bony, it was closer to a polished crystal.
„Smooth..." your voice rang lowly. As you continued to explore, you didn't notice how stiff Lissinlaciss was. He didn't mind the touch, he just wasn't used to the new sensation.
The pads of your little fingers ran over his pinkish gums. As if in a trance, all he could do was to watch your face full of fascination. You decided not to point out the ér-ing.
One of the things you noticed that was different from the human oral cavity was that it didn't have an uvula. There was just a hole, probably esophagus, where the large tongue went. You didn't have the courage to touch the muscle. The tongue seemed to be the size of your torso, that was not SO odd... The difference between a human tongue and this tongue was the surface.
Lissinlaciss's tongue was completely without papillae (at least it looked like it), as smooth as a slide, clearer than skin. „Do you... have taste buds?" you asked simply, looking up at his face that watched you from the beginning.
Lissin's upper mouth opened, albeit it took a second for him to form an answer. „Yes? I do." His head tilted in astonishment. „Why wouldn't I have them?"
„I don't see any papillae." Shrugging, your gaze went back to his lower mouth, focusing on the... lips? After a moment of silence, your long-legged roommate spoke again.
„Taste buds are microscopic..." His voice drifted lowly across the room. „I am unfamiliar with the term papil... papilla-ey?.." he tried how the word felt like on his upper tongue.
Without looking in any direction other than the lips surrounding his lower oral cavity, you gave him an answer. „Papillae are tiny, visible bumps that give the tongue its slightly rough surface." Humming to yourself you lifted your head once again. „Does your upper tongue not have those as well?"
„No... does your?" Noticing his big eyes dropping from your eyes to your lips, you stuck out your tongue for him to see. Your faces were closer than when you cuddled a few minutes ago.
„Fascinating," he sighed out „glistening from saliva..." and meticulously observed every part of your tiny tongue. Blush spread through your cheeks, knowing if you were to move your head just slightly, you could have literally licked him.
When Lissin was satisfied with his examination, he straightened up. „I'm curious what else your body will surprise me with." he said without a shame and without shame he also meant it.
If only the little head of yours was just as innocent, instead your head lowered, glancing at the still open mouth that could swallow you in two bites... Glancing a tiny bit lower you saw how his loincloth bent over his hips and... 'I wonder if he has a-'
„Y/N? Are you alright?" rang your blue roommate's worried voice. „HUH? Oh yeah! I'm alright, of course I am- just thinking and stuff, you know heh."

The conversation led you to questions and answers regarding his race. You laughed a lot and time passed faster than it would seem.
„So where are ya hiding your fins?" you joked, leaning into the pale blue couch with half lidded eyes. With his hand resting on the upper part of the couch, Lissin replied.
„I'm a few million years behind, evolution has caught up with me." Giving you a giggle in his untranslated voice he continued. „However, embryos of my race still have smaller fins from head to tail at some stage of development."
Another question popped up in your mind. „Where does the embryo grow?" Lissin sat up straighter.
„Inside of the females body..." „Right, but where is the uterus located exactly? Can't be where the lower mouth is... or it can?" With narrowed eyes filled with confusion, Lissin answered as if it was the most irrational question. „Inside of the ribcage."
„What? Where else would the offspring grow?"
More minutes passed as you now understood that the female's lungs were pushed to the sides around an uterus kept between them, during pregnancy. The question about giving birth with this kind of development stayed behind your teeth.
