Atsushi could practically feel Akutagawa’s unease radiating off of him. He was sat bolt upright in their bed, shoulders locked and tense, and a small frown. Atsushi sighed and rubbed his eyes.
“You’re not still mad at me from yesterday are you?” he asked tentatively, sitting up beside him.
Akutagawa firmly shook his head, “No.”
The two spent a couple more moments in this undisturbed silence, before Atsushi placed a hand on Akutagawa’s shoulder and turned him so their eyes met.
“Is it work?” Atsushi continued to query.
Upon no answer, a now minimally frustrated Atsushi slowly manoeuvred Akutagawa until his head was in his lap. Akutagawa was still staring dead ahead with a brooding glare, now only it was focused at the ceiling and Atsushi’s god-awful uneven bangs which hung slightly in his vision.
Beginning to lovingly stroke his dark hair, Atsushi placed a little kiss to Akutagawa’s head. Slowly but surely, these gentle gestures made Akutagawa’s eyes drooped until he could no longer look menacing. His shoulders relaxed and his breathing slowed too.
Atsushi placed another kiss on his forehead.
“Feeling better?” he murmured quietly.
Only, Akutagawa did not respond, fast asleep on top of Atsushi.
Not wanting to disturb his partner, Atsushi tried to lightly shift Akutagawa until his head was now on his chest, in which soon after Atsushi began to drift into his own sleep.
Maybe they could speak about what was bothering Akutagawa in the morning after a good nights rest, but for now the pair will simply bask in their sweet dreams together.
