Basil’s eyes slowly fluttered open, letting out a small exhale as he rubbed his eyes. As his vision cleared up, his eyes were met with the still sleeping face of Sunny, strands of his raven hair seeping down near his eyelids. A smile grew on Basil’s face, slowly reaching out with his right hand, brushing the strands of hair away. He continued to cautiously play with Sunny’s hair, making sure to not accidentally wake him up in the process.
After a while, Basil stopped, slowly retracting his hand as he turned around to his end of the bed, slowly pulling the covers off of him as he got out of bed, careful to not accidentally wake his boyfriend.
Unfortunately for Basil, that didn’t quite work out. The next thing he knew, arms wrapped around his waist, dragging him back to the center of the bed.
“H-huh? Sunny?!” Basil cried out. Before he could question his boyfriend's actions, Sunny drew Basil closer to him, the Blonde squeaking at the sudden action.
“Mm…Stay.” Was all Sunny said in response, burying his face into Basil’s neck, his heavy breath causing the latter to blush in response. Sunny slowly opened his eyes as he held Basil by his waist tighter, admiring their blush.
“Sunny…come on, I have stuff to do!” Basil exclaimed, attempting to reason with him. Sunny simply shook his head, “It can wait for later…” he replied before going back to rubbing his face on Basil’s neck. Basil then attempted to pull Sunny off him, trying to shake his arms off his waist and free himself. He really did try, but his attempts proved to be futile against Sunny’s iron grip on him. Basil whined as he realized his attempts were in vain, pouting. “You really are mean sometimes, you know that?”
Sunny gave a smug smile in response similar to one his sister would make, letting go with his right hand to poke at Basil’s cheek, earning another whine for him. “Well, it’s not my fault you’re all soft and huggable…” Sunny said before wrapping his right arm around Basil again, closing his eyes.
After a few minutes like that, Basil sighed, closing his eyes. “Fine, I’ll stay. As long as you promise to help with watering the plants later.” Basil said, offering an ultimatum. “Deal,” Sunny replied. Anything for a few more hours of rest with his beloved. Basil smiled in response, turning around to face Sunny before wrapping his arms around him, digging his face into the crook of Sunny’s neck. Sunny ran his right hand through Basil’s soft, silky hair, closing his eyes and taking a sharp inhale, enjoying the flowery scent of his hair. Basil’s hair was always nice to touch, a mix of shampoo and conditioner always ensuring his hair was in perfect condition for playing with. Sunny let out a soft giggle before placing a kiss on Basil’s head, eliciting a blush from the blonde.
“You know, you’re really cute when you blush.” Sunny said as he continued to play with Basil’s gentle hair. He continued to stroke the Blondette’s hair, caressing it gently with his soft hands. “I love you so much…”
“I love you too.” Basil responded, placing a kiss on Sunny’s lip before returning to his original position. Sunny smiled in response, drawing the covers closer to the two lovers. Sunny’s heartbeat and heavy breath on his hair sent a wave of serenity through Basil, focusing on his lover’s beating heart as he slowly drifted to sleep, his own heart changing to become in sync with Sunny’s.
Meanwhile, Basil’s breath on Sunny’s collarbone sent a similar wave of calm through him as the two slowly melted together into one as they continued to cuddle. No pain could exist while they were like this, just the two of them and their love and affection for each other. Sunny suddenly threw his legs around Basil, solidifying his role as his living, breathing, body pillow, Basil giggling in response before gripping Sunny tighter.
The lovers slowly drifted back to sleep, a wave of comfort rushing over them as they did so. While there were things to be done later in the day, for now, they could rest.
Besides, after everything they’ve been through, they deserved a few more hours of rest.
