Rukawa sighed in affectionate exasperation as he sat down next to the sleeping redhead on the couch. Hanamichi must have already been tired after today's grueling practice, and dinner had probably made him even drowsier on top of that, wiping him out the first chance he had to relax.
Rukawa smiled, remembering their dinner... how Hanamichi had kept throwing him quick furtive glances over their food, then would blush and look away. At one point Rukawa had reached under the table and given Hanamichi's hand a quick squeeze... The redhead had jumped at the touch, but then returned the gesture with a soft smile, quick enough for Rukawa alone to see.
After that, the walk home had been silent once again, but this time it was a different silence. The tenseness that had been building up in the past weeks was gone, but now there was a new nervous energy... the anticipation and excitement about spending the night together... Rukawa wondered how he had the patience to sit through dinner when what he had been wanting for so long was now so close. Wondered that he hadn't jumped on the redhead as soon as they were home. And he wondered that he wasn't supremely frustrated now that the redhead had fallen asleep on him! If he'd been in this situation mere months ago, he would've been fighting a losing battle against his uncontrollable hormones. But now...
Rukawa smiled softly and reached forward, brushing a lock of hair from Hanamichi's face. The redhead stirred at the touch, his eyes fluttering open and squinting at the light.
"Kaede?" Hanamichi asked sleepily, rubbing his eyes in an adorably childlike manner. "Gomen." The redhead apologized, looking around at where he was and realizing what must have happened. Rukawa sighed affectionately again.
"Come on." he said, taking Hanamichi's hand and pulling him off the couch. Still holding on to the redhead's hand, he turned, leading the half-sleeping boy to his bedroom. Once they where inside he began to undo Hanamichi's school-clothes, the redhead quietly letting himself be undressed and put into bed, still half-asleep. Rukawa found himself stifling a yawn of his own as he took off his shirt and pants, then crawled into the bed next to the other boy. He wrapped his arms around the redhead, quickly becoming comfortable with the other boy so close to him, so warm against his tired body.
"Goodnight." he whispered, planting a kiss on Hanamichi's forehead before closing his eyes to sleep.
It wasn't long before the redhead stirred in his arms.
"Kaede?" he asked.
"Hmmm?" Rukawa replied drowsily.
"Aren't we gonna-- I mean, I thought we were going to--" Hanamichi stammered, "don't you wanna--"
"Of course I do." Rukawa interrupted softly. "But not right now Hana. We're both exhausted, were both barely awake... we can wait until tomorrow."
"But I'm awake now, I swear!" Hanamichi protested.
"I'm sorry Hana, but I'm not. And I want to be fully awake when I make love to you for the first time... so I don't miss a thing." he replied. Hanamichi's mouth snapped shut and he blushed. Rukawa hugged the redhead tighter. "I want to feel everything, every tremble and every shake, hear every moan, see everything, see you... your eyes... your body..."
"Hentai!" Hanamichi gasped. But he definitely sounded more turned-on than angry. Rukawa smiled, cupping the redhead's cheek with his hand and caressing it lightly with his thumb.
"I want to see the sunrise in your hair, shining like fire around your face while I hold you, feel you from the inside and make you mine."
Hanamichi gazed back at him, speechless, then a look of distress crossed his face.
"Mou... How am I supposed to sleep now?" the redhead groaned.
Rukawa smirked.
"I don't care, as long as you're awake when I want you."
"Teme!"
"Do'ahou."
"Ugh." Hanamichi gave in, dropping his head onto Rukawa's chest.
"Hn." Rukawa smirked, wrapping his arms around the redhead again. Hanamichi heaved a defeated sigh and snuggled in closer. Rukawa grinned, quickly falling into a comfortable sleep.
