I didn't want to hear you bitch about it being cold. Insufferable.
[It's said defensively, and he jabs his fingers into Ren's cheek in punishment before smoothing it away with a gentle touch. For once, though, he appreciates that Ren is as tired as he is, though; there's no way he'd be up for anything in bed right now other than sleep.
Moisturizer applied, Akechi allows himself one more kiss to Ren's lips before stepping away decisively to wash his hands.]
(Okay, the combination of everything does lead Ren to laugh out loud, only interrupting it to kiss Akechi's lips once he's close enough, squeezing the man a little with his arms before he sneaks a kiss on his jaw - believe it or not, innocently.)
Thank you, honey.
(And once Akechi is no longer within reach, Ren allows the monster yawn to leave him, stretching once again much like a kitty before he sneaks his way to bed. It's cold, and it's a way to thank him if he manages to get it warm enough by the time Akechi comes back. He is, after all, a human heater.)
[With Ren safely out of the bathroom, Akechi finally allows himself an exhausted sigh, resting both hands on the counter and looking himself in the mirror. Ren said beautiful, but he feels anything but with the obvious bags under his eyes, the telltale itching threatening a breakout, the few stray untamed hairs from his eyebrows... something to deal with tomorrow. For now, he just shakes his head at himself and ventures back into the bedroom, crawling into the bed beside the other boy.
It's almost scary to think about going back to sleep, after everything, even with Ren there. Even still, he allows himself to curl up beside him, wrapping an arm gently around his waist and resting his head on his shoulder.]
...Thank you, Ren, [he murmurs finally, something he should have said a long time ago.]
(In the meantime, Ren has all but drifted off to sleep. It's been tiring, and after gathering all the strength he could muster to strut his way back into ADI's, there's not much left. Ren's body heat has made the bed not unlike paradise, inviting, welcoming...
But there's something much better that comes. It's Akechi, with his arm around him and his head on Ren's shoulder, too close to his heart not to hear it beating for him. ) You're welcome.
(All the love he feels is poured into the kiss he presses on Akechi's forehead, lingering and allowing himself to get lost in the other boy for a second. The coolness of his skin, the fragrance of his skincare, his shampoo... Ren can't help but wrap an arm around him to bring him closer. He's too goddamn tired, and he's cursing the world inside that head of his, because all he wants to do is to worship Akechi how he deserves, to kiss every patch of skin, caress the soft skin, show him just how beautiful Ren finds him.)
Men prefer to be called handsome, you know, [he mumbles grumpily, pinching the other boy's skin in punishment. That's the only gripe he has, though, and honestly Ren is fully within his rights to call him far worse things. He sighs against the other boy's shoulder and closes his eyes, allowing himself to finally start to relax into him.
Things aren't even close to okay, let alone perfect. But it's a start. Assuming they can just make it to tomorrow, that's a start.]
(Okay, that makes Ren giggle-- did this motherfucker just bring gender roles to a man who had been in a dress not too long ago? Ren'd love it to be called beautiful, excuse him!! But it's fine.
With his leg wrapping around Akechi's, Ren finds comfort in their embrace, finally letting the well-deserved slumber take him far from this world.
He'll tell Akechi just how wonderful he is tomorrow, he promises himself.)
