he isn't holding onto hien as tightly as he could be, arm loosy wound around hien's waist. at the end of the day, it was easier when he could tell himself all there was between them was physical chemistry.

he closes his eyes. ]
For wanting to sleep, you sure are being talkative.
[ Hien bites back a sigh and wraps his arms around Elysium's torso and buries his face into the nape of his neck. The feathers tickle his nose. What does he smell like.... ]
"If you really don't want to stay here, you can go."
[ It's a nice scent and it helps Hien relax. He's seen Elysium fake sleep before, so he's not too surprised when he does this. He only knows a handful of people who can sleep at will, and he doesn't think Elysium is one of them.
But okay. You can't say that you didn't have your chance. Hien sleeps a very deep sleep, but the death grip he has on Elysium prevents him from going anywhere until Hien wakes or if he can somehow make Hien's arms disappear. He is so cuddly, but annoyingly so. ]
[ he might not be able to sleep at will, but he can fall asleep relatively quickly when sleep is too much of a luxury out in the field. you either take it when it comes during your rounds, or you don’t, and then you risk putting everyone else in danger because you missed something through sheer deprivation.
this, though, is definitely its own case. he feels responsible for hien in a way he shouldn't, is back to being close to him when he'd told himself he'd establish distance. what happened to boundaries? stupid.
so it takes him a little longer than usual to fall asleep. a little longer, meaning quite a bit longer. but eventually he settles, eases into his hold, and drifts off, curling more into him. warm… ]
[ Hien has a dream for once. He sits on the dry sand at the beach, looking over the ocean. A flock of seagulls come to him in hopes of snatching some of the bread that he's eating. In the end, Hien tosses a few pieces. They stick around until Hien has nothing left, except one. It has a little sea urchin in its mouth, but it doesn't eat it. Huh. Weird.
He gradually wakes in purgatory noon. The maze hasn't shifted yet to make room for the new one, so they're still in the little sleepover corner. Is Elysium still there in his hold? Is he still sleeping? ]
[ it has a little sea urchin in its mouth, and it almost looks sad. perhaps it washed ashore—that's why it stays, keeping it protectively in its beak until the reason why becomes obvious. when the other seagulls scatter, then, and only then, it carefully sets the urchin back into the sea before flying off.
as it is, elysium wakes, realises the hold has loosened by hien's standards, and gently sits up. if this were anyone else, he'd already be gone. his feelings towards it are rather complicated. instead: ]
You're up?
[ a little quietly. the fingers that had been threating themselves through hien's hair stop, almost startled. ]
[ The fingers through his hair feel nice, until they stop. Hien blearily opens his eyes and yawns, withdrawing his arms so that he can stretch. ]
"Mm... Good morning."
[ It is most definitely not morning, even in Purgatory's standards. His voice sounds more like a drawl, since he's still in the process of waking up. ]
"You're here, so I know I'm not dreaming. And you still have your fingers in my hair."
[ He yawns again. Ugh. Sleepiness. This is unfortunately Hien's norm... he only gets up in the morning when he feels like he has to, and this time, he wanted to see Elysium still there. ]
[ Stop yanking his hair!! He whines, but ultimately, he understands Elysium's concern about the maze. Let him yawn again. God. Sleepy bitch disease. It's uncurable for him. ]
"Gimme a moment."
[ He wants to stretch his arms and legs out again. nyaaaa ]
[ Hien thought Elysium wanted them to teleport there, so he's surprised when he just. walks off like. okay??? He could be spiteful and just teleport there by himself, but he tries to catch up with Elysium. ]
even then… they have legs… hien's really out here hanging with his polar opposite, help me. most likely purgatory man to be a gym bro along with tsukasa, or something. ]
[ Hien likes physical activities, but damn, he feels like a slug for a while after he wakes up. People who jog at the crack of dawn right after waking up? Impossible for him. He likes being lazy, if anything. ]
