[No monsters, no fights tonight, but still a long, sweaty night of superheroing is behind Dick. He's shrugging off his costume and pulling on a pair of sweatpants when he pulls down the sheets...

He snorts a laugh, and just moves around to lie down at her back. He whispers in her ear:]

I could get in without waking you up, but where's the fun in that?

[Shiki is all too used to Dick being out all night fighting crime while she slept on, only to find herself being held in his arms when she wakes up next morning. She didn't mind the routine, really--it was definitely a nice thing to wake to--but she couldn't help but worry about him sometimes. Guess that's one of the cons of having a superhero for a boyfriend.

Imagine her surprise when the usual routine they have fallen into was broken when she hears his voice whisper in her ear, slowly ebbing away the haze in her mind sleep had caused . Shiki makes a "mmm" sound, shifting her body so that she could face him, opening her eyes blearily.]

Hmmn... jerk. [She mumbles, the smile she had on her lips contradicting her words. Shiki wraps an arm around Dick, snuggling up closer to him with a sigh.]

Welcome--[Before she could catch herself, she yawns, chuckling before continuing that line of thought.]

Ehehe, sorry. [beat] Mm...[Lifting her head a bit so that she can kiss him on the lips, resting her forehead on his, tips of their noses touching.] Welcome home.

[That is a worth a kiss on her chin, right? There's a sense of warmth and happiness flooding his blood, and while he's really ready to collapse, he likes these kinds of moments: both of them relaxed, maybe a little uninhibited due to overwhelming sleepiness, but still safe, still cozy.]

You know, if you ever want me to not wake you up, I won't.

[But he assumes she likes the fastest reassurance that yes, still alive. And he just likes her sleepy face.]

[~~She has an adorable sleepy face, lbr.~~

Totally worth the kiss and he gets an Eskimo kiss in return. If she wasn't feeling warm and contented before, she is now that Dick was beside her. He just brings that gentle side of Shiki more when they have moments like this. Also, he'd be assuming right, being able to see that he's fine with her own eyes would make her fret about him less.]

[Laying her head down on the pillow again, she smiles up at him, her hand reaching out to card her fingers through his bangs, gently caressing his forehead and cheek in the process.]

I know. Buuuuuut, I kinda have a feeling you won't be able to resist.

And, well... [Her hand moves from combing his hair so that she can cup his cheek, her expression softening as she went on.]

I do... like seeing your face.

I could turn the lights on.

[He says it playfully, nuzzling her hand.]

That way, you can see it even better.

[She chuckles, leaning forward to kiss the skin between his brows. Even when she's in the brink of sleep, Dick still manages to make Shiki laugh.]

Mmm, tempting. [~~Unfortunately~~ She pulls away, her thumb strokes his cheek gently before her hand drifts down, taking his palm into hers, lacing their fingers together.] Very tempting.

[beat]

Not tired anymore?

I'm a college-age superhero. Sleep is kind of optional.

[The way he lays, very little control over himself and just flopping limbs, suggests that no, he is very, very tired-- just very, very practiced at ignoring the fact.]

How you manage to pass your classes, I'll never know.

[She chuckles a bit while squeezing his hand. Shiki could go on about how sleep is a necessary evil but it'll be coming from a girl who pulls all nighters whenever she has a deadline coming soon for her boutique. Hi pot! Meet kettle and vice versa.]

Well, since you don't want to sleep, what do you want to do now, hmm? You have my undivi--[Yawn]--hmmn, divided attention.

You mean, I'll have you undivided attention in my dreams. Or your dreams.

[His hand moves while contemplates adjusting the comforter or his pillow, but in the end, no, nothing happens. He is still boneless.]

[Shiki can't help but grin at that, chuckling again while pressing a kiss on his forehead.]

Of course.

[How could she forget? Privacy? In Somarium of all places?]

[Sensing movement, she looks down, seeing his hand move before it settles on the mattress again. Her gaze then shifts to the comforter that was hanging off the edge of the bed, thinking that maybe Dick wanted to tug it up to them. Without letting go of his other hand, Shiki sits up for a moment, reaching over with her free hand and successfully pulling the comforter up to their height, covering up to their chins.]

[Softly, she asks:] Better?

[He nuzzles her shoulder, trying to fit himself in to cuddle against her like she's three times his size.]

Yeah, a lot. There's something to be said for that feeling you get when you don't want to get out of bed because nothing good can come of it.

[She hums thoughtfully, nuzzling the top of his head after shifting her position to accommodate him better.]

Mmmn. [Shiki sighs, feeling rather content.] Nice and cozy bed, warm covers... [A tiny smile forms on her lips as she says:] The company's not bad either.

I think I would choose the company over the covers, honestly.

[It's sincere, because his sleepy brain is too tired to filter it through the sarcasm and snark he usually puts around his emotions.]

You... you talk back, for one thing.

[Shiki giggles.] I sure do!

I also give excellent hugs. [She gives him an affectionate squeeze of her arms.] And well, if you want kisses...

[It looks like sleepiness makes Shiki Misaki a whole lot smoother compared to when she's awake.]

I'm sooo sleepy, though...

[It sounds like that's fading, though.]

What if you did the kissing...? Would that be okay?

Edited 2023-08-23 10:30 (UTC)

[She giggles again, kissing his forehead in response, her arms pulling him closer to her.]

Well, [Shiki starts, kissing the tip of his nose next.] since you asked... [Then the corner of his mouth, her voice softens.] so nicely.

[She pauses for a moment, the smile on her face turning coquettish before finally kissing Dick fully on the lips, her eyes fluttering close as she sighs.]

[Definitely, definitely okay...

He completely relaxes, running a hand through her hair and trying to just mirror and match her kissing, letting her set the pace, before reaching a pause point.]

You should do this more often.

[Her breath hitches when she feels his hand combing through her hair, her own hand cupping gently his cheek as she kisses him. The pace was slow and easy, not wanting to rush and just to savor their moment together like this.

Shiki chuckles when they pull away for a second, pressing kisses all over his face before chirping:]

Hmm, you like sleepy make outs, Dick? [She asks, her thumb brushing against his cheek.]

Sleepy make-outs, well-rested make-outs, spontaneous make-outs...

[Standby for yawn. Covers his face with a pillow.]

It helps that you like it, too.

[She giggles when he yawns, leaning in to kiss the middle of his brows.]

Hmm... [Shiki yawns, resting her forehead against his, rubbing the tip of their noses together gently.] Does this count as a, "I'm glad you came back home to me" kiss?
