Day 15

[pandatrash]

[There are really only two important things to note about Day 15:

One, your tablet informs you that there's a killing night tonight! Tonight we're back to normal; only one murder, please!

And two, there is shitty prepackaged deli sushi in kitchen. So uh, y'know. Enjoy that.]

I'm not sure...

[that sounds very restful. but it's probably not less restful than stewing here by himself, so he just trails off there, and heads over to the bed]

...Ah, alright.

[afailedmurder]

[just gonna crawl right in with him]

Good. Let's get some rest.

[truthstranger]

[for some reason that really doesn't make rest jump to the forefront of his mind, especially since these beds aren't exactly large. but he does his best to settle in anyway, on his side facing Akechi]

O-Okay. I'll try.

[afailedmurder]

You don't want to be the little spoon?

[truthstranger]

Ah, we... could do that.

[and Akechi couldn't see how red his face turns that way. he rolls over.]

[afailedmurder]

[curls up around him and buries his face in the nape of his neck]

Good night.

[truthstranger]

[His breath catches a little at the contact, and his heart starts beating faster. There is probably no way he's going to fall asleep any time soon.

He closes his eyes anyway, and relaxes against Akechi as much as he can. He can at least make the attempt]

Good... night.

[afailedmurder]

[yeah so the obnoxious nuzzling probably isn't helping]

[truthstranger]

[it definitely is not. he manages a minute or two of pretending he might sleep, but he only seems to get more sensitive to the touch, and eventually he twitches like it tickles]

A-Akechi-kun...

[afailedmurder]

Sorry, I'll stop.

[reluctantly]

I should get some rest too, no matter how cute you are.

[truthstranger]

[cute... he curls in on himself a little more]

It's, um. Nice. But I definitely can't nap if you keep doing that.

[afailedmurder]

Sorry, sorry. I'll be good. You can go to sleep.

[he will be good!!]

[truthstranger]

Okay.

[somehow he's a little disappointed. but it really is true he needs to sleep, so he takes a deliberate deep breath and tries to settle down]

[afailedmurder]

[settles back in and closes his eyes]

We'll do something fun tomorrow.

[truthstranger]

[that chills him a bit, as a reminder that the chances of tomorrow being a fun day are actually very small.

he just hums and also closes his eyes, though, Akechi against him a little more comforting now]

Mm.

[afailedmurder]

Afterward, I mean.

[yawns a little. he was also tired]

[truthstranger]

...Right. We'll see...

[afailedmurder]

Yes...

[pauses]

Can I ask you something? Last thing, I promise.

[truthstranger]

Of course, what is it?

[afailedmurder]

Would you, ah... want to call each other by given name? When it's just us.

[truthstranger]

[his head jerks back a little in surprise and he turns red again.]

Ah, i-if you want to... we can...

[afailedmurder]

If it's not too strange! Nobody ever calls me by my name...

[truthstranger]

N-No... I mean, it does feel a bit strange, but... I want to do it.

[afailedmurder]

Okay. Let's do it, Shuichi.

[truthstranger]

Then, good night... Goro.
