( samatoki doesn't really know why ichiro gravitated towards him and vice versa, or why he keeps him around instead of pushing him away like everyone else. it probably would have helped his case if he wasn't the one to initiate this entire thing, when he took the first step and asked the kid (with cuts and bruises and a fiesty energy he couldn't ignore) what's his name. a gamble he had no idea would pay off so well, but a part of him is thankful he took a risk. somehow it feels like the two of them have been inseparable since.
that was several months ago, and now they are here — a tangled mess of limbs in his bed with the lingering smell of cigarette smoke and sunshine. samatoki watches every move ichiro makes, the way his eyes fend off the last little bit of sleep, coming alive and focusing in on him and him alone. he feels fingers on his back again, and he couldn't help the soft exhale that escapes him, relaxing into the touch as he brings ichiro closer. he wonders if he could hear just how loud his heart is beating, pulse reacting to the other's presence like it always does.
he almost sounds like a high school kid in love, but is that really so bad? )
Midnight. Now go back to sleep.
( he brings a hand up to settle at the back of ichiro's head, content to keep them in this position. it's warm and he won't let any heat escape. )
