[he is going to stay firm on this, too!! he leans forward as well, pressing their foreheads together as his eyes flutter and he finally drops their hands loosely between them]
It made my heart flutter like a bundle of butterflies.
[honestly? they probably should. it's been a long and exhausting day, and both of them are still recovering emotionally from everything that happened]
[but]
[Akira can't help himself. Minato yawns, and he ducks his head in a small, fond laugh]
[and then he leans forward to catch Minato's mouth in a kiss. right at the end of his yawn, when he's least expecting it, but also when his mouth isn't wide open because that would be super weird]
You're so concerned about missing a stolen kiss. . .
[SO, SO FOND!! but yeah, he leans in to kiss Minato again, this time much more slowly, lingering with their lips pressed together so he can savor the gentle moment]
But anyway, he doesn't really have to finish that statement before Akira's leaning in for another one, and that's way more important. He lingers contentedly, eyes sliding shut as he basks in the very gentle and sweet moment.
[for as much as Akira teases, even he can admit that this is much better. . . and there's something about this kiss in particular that sends his heart thrumming warmly in his ears. he truly never thought he'd be in this position, enveloped by someone he finds so completely and utterly amazing. . . fortunate enough to have such a bright presence lighting up his life. but now that he's here, he can't even begin to fathom where he'd be without it]
[. . . they're both exhausted, but Akira makes no move to lie down, no move to return to bed so they can finally sleep. some things, he thinks dully in the back of his mind, are so much more preferable!!]
[ Akira makes no move to return to the bed, and honestly? Minato doesn't either. This entire situation is intoxicating and distracting and warming, and Minato has no interest in letting it end too quickly. Akira has managed to convince him that he deserves this, that they both deserve this, and that's enough for Minato to give himself over to it fully.
So one slow, warm, loving kiss becomes two, and then a slow third, and then...
...
... Then Minato has to break away to stifle a yawn, turning his head a little so he doesn't just completely yawn in Akira's face.
[honestly, Akira is the farthest thing from "at peace" with what happened today. . . but it's also currently the furthest thing from his mind as Minato curls up tightly against him. his heart beats in tandem with Minato's, both physically and metaphorically, and somehow. . . that makes everything okay]
[Minato falls asleep first, and Akira tilts his head down to press a kiss against the crown of Minato's head. he stays enveloped in Minato's arms, listening peacefully to the sound of his breathing-- his heartbeat-- as he slowly drifts off himself]

[ Minato is not so sure about that, but... he just smiles a little, pitching forward to gently thunk his forehead against Akira's. ]
Well... so long as you're happy, I'm happy. Like I said... I really meant it.
I'd never take it back.

Wow. That's... that's really cute, Akira.
You're really cute.
no subject
Thanks.
You're really cute, too. Just so you know.
[his tone is light!! because despite the depth of the words they've now exchanged between them. . . some things never change]

And is just left blinking blearily afterwards.
Maybe they should nap. ]

he's not prepared for it. At all. Akira steals that kiss, and Minato doesn't reciprocate very well, because it's right when he's least expecting it. ]

W-wait, I missed it--kiss me again...!

Okay, okay. I get the hint.
C'mon.
[it's reluctant, but Akira pulls away, tugging gently on Minato's hands to guide him towards the bed. it is probably time for them to sleep!!]
no subject
[ another yawn... now that he's started yawning, he can't stop. ]
I was... enjoying the moment...
[ but he is also unresisting as Akira guides them to his bed.
sleep... definitely beckons. Minato's exhausted, unsurprisingly. ]
no subject
We can enjoy more of it tomorrow, okay?

Minato just... yawns.
And nods a little, and curls even closer... and he's out like a light. It's been a long day.
He seems... at peace, though, despite everything that happened that day. ]
