[ 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. ]

"Did you sleep well...? Why did you stop..."

[ it's a mystery how they determine time in this place but it is most definitely morning. he does not say it, but he's most certainly thinking it. ]

Stop what? Are you still dreaming?

"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. ]

Yeah, 'cause I was going to wake you up.

[ he yanks at hien's hair. ]

I dunno about you, but I kiiiiiind of don't want to find out what happens when we're still in a maze when it transitions for the week.

"Stop... I'm not into that..."

[ 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 ]

This isn't meant to be sexy. You really did want things to go in that direction, huh…

[ YANKS AGAIN

and then releases, if only to also stretch and start walking back to the heart. this seems kind of mean? but he's walking slower than usual…

"No..."

[ 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. ]

"I'm trying not to."

[ NOT ALL OF US CAN TELEPORT, HIEN!!!

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.

Since when were you known for your restraint?

[ 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. ]

I'm starting to think that's where all your energy goes and this laziness of yours is just a cover-up.

[ Hien frowns a little, but relaxes his expression shortly after. You sure know how to effortlessly break a heart, Elysium. He can't even ask if it's really that wrong to do such a thing. ]

"Right, so it's a burden."

[ like how he is the burden ]

[ it is very wrong to ask emotionally unavailable men to be emotionally available with their feelings of vulnerability, yes. in elysium's case it is his currently very tenuous relationship with happiness. ]

It is. It's enough for me to be content.

[ well, he isn't wrong. there are enough people emotionally invested in him that it's giving him hives, but he isn't about to say that to his lil teens. never mind he technically isn't that far off from them in age, whatever. ]
