[MUCH SLEEP... VERY COMFY...

He'll curse at himself a little when he's awake but he's definitely not, in the deepest sleep he's had for a long while. He doesn't even stir when he's petted, nuzzling in completely unconsciously.

Zzzzz.]

[Good. Komaeda will let him sleep as long as he can! Really. He'll just pet at his hair, slip his fingers into dark strands, ruffling then smoothing out again. He smiles to himself, humming softly.

When did he get so lucky anyway?

Komaeda ducks his head now to nuzzle into Hinata's hair, to press a kiss there, murmuring a soft series of sweet nothings even if HInata is still asleep.]

[Eventually... eventually, Hinata starts to stir, groaning sleepily at the continued petting and ruffling. Ooh... that feels nice. And he can hear the low murmur of Komaeda's voice, even if he can't make out what he's saying.

His voice sounds sweet, pleasant... this is a nice way to wake up on Christmas--

You forgot to wake up. His eyes fly open at once at his own (?) thought and he blinks rapidly. Oh damn it, he did forget...!!]

[Komaeda can feel Hinata's posture change, and that's enough for him to realize that yup he's awake now. Is he startled somehow? Komaeda nuzzles further into his hair, sighing soft and contented.]

Awake, darling?

[Definitely awake. So he murmurs without waiting for an answer.] Good morning. And Merry Christmas.

[It's Christmas! The very best Christmas he's ever had and it's only just begun.]

[Only startled by the drawling voice in his head that makes him feel like he's being mocked somehow-- Hinata blushes at the pet name, lifting his face to peek up at him properly, see his face and...

Still sleep-tousled. All right. This is a good way to wake up after all.

He leans up, kissing him lightly.] Merry Christmas to you too, Nagito. And good morning.

[Oh and blushing Hinata. Komaeda beams at him, pleased by it. He meets that kiss happily with a pleased hum of approval. There really is no better way to start the morning than this really.

So he's still all smiles as Hinata returns his greeting.] Did you sleep well? It's not usual to see you sleeping in.

[And then, quieter,] It's been really nice. It's the best sort of Christmas present, getting extra quiet time like this with you.

[Shhh. Say nothing about his blushing...

Komaeda looks so happy, though, so Hinata's expression is softening though the pink in his cheeks is sticking around for the ride, for now.] Extra quiet time...

Even though I was asleep? [...] I really haven't slept in like this in a long time. I don't think I can even remember any dreams. [Which is a rare occurrence; it's not unusual for Hinata to wake up in the middle of the night with some nightmare or another.]

[But he wants to mention it. How can he express his appreciation for how cute blushing Hinata is if he can't talk about it? It doesn't seem fair. But fine he'll just enjoy it in silence.

His fingers sift through Hinata's hair still, repeatedly.]

Even though you were asleep. It's still nice to wake up being held. And I like watching you sleep. You need to rest, you know. [Komaeda is fully aware Hinata doesn't take it easy, doesn't relax nearly as much as he should. He's aware of the nightmares too.]

[It's extraordinarily soothing... the combing motions of those fingers through his hair, and Hinata's sighing and laying his head back down on the bed before he even thinks about it. He watches Komaeda with half-closed eyes.

Which avert, a little sheepishly, at the words.] ...yeah, you're right. [He does need to. He doesn't sleep fully through the night a lot of nights.

But he does sleep better (believe it or not) when Komaeda's holding him.] I got a lot of rest last night... how late did I sleep in?

[It's meant to be soothing. It's soothing for him too, a fact that he's realized long before now -- how much comfort just touching Hinata can be for him. Maybe it's a little selfish.

His fingers slip from his hair, down to brush along his cheek as Hinata looks away.]

Even I'm right every now and again, after all.

[Yup. Komaeda smiles and shrugs a shoulder at the question.] I don't know, but it's a holiday, so it's fine, no matter how late it is, right?

[Komaeda's right more than now and again. Hinata turns his head into his touch, looking up at him again and tightening his arms around him.]

I guess, but...

[He leans forward, burying his face into Komaeda's chest and mumbling in a vaguely sulky way:] I wanted to get up earlier.

[Oh no he's pouting, isn't he? Komaeda tries to fight back a grin because that's adorable. He ducks his head to nuzzle into Hinata's hair again.] Oh? Was there a reason? Whatever it is, I'm sure you'll still find time for it if it's something you really want to do.

[So don't go sulking too much Hinata.] And I can always help too, after all.

[He likes helping Hinata. It's nice to feel useful.]

[SULKING INTENSIFIES--

Into his chest still, muffled and with the faint inflection of a sigh:] I was planning on waking up early to surprise you. But I don't know if I'll be able to do that now.

[He squeezes his arms around him.]

[That sulking is still cute. Komaeda tightens his arms around Hinata in turn with a quiet exhale, a sigh of his own, like a laugh more than anything else. To surprise him? That's sweet. Even the thought of it.]

Hajime...

[He murmurs quietly.] It doesn't matter. It's a surprise anyway. And if it's for me, getting to rest with you like this this morning has already been a present. [Best present. He got to hold him and watch him sleep and it's adorable and Komaeda is a sap okay shut up it's Christmas.]

[Okay, that'll make the sulking dim down... and Hinata tips his face to look up at him. His hair is still tousled and sticks up messily here and there, but he softens to hear those words.

Sighing again (in a happy defeat almost), he leans up to kiss his chin, then under his lower lip.]

We've got some other presents to get to after we get up.

[Good. No sulking, Hinata. It's Christmas, after all. Komaeda is just going to tousle his hair all the further now before trying to set it back in order.]

Do we? That's exciting... it's been a while since I've had presents to open on Christmas.

[But really by far the very best gift he could have gotten is Hinata, waking up next to him like this. He is going to believe that.] I have presents for you too, Hajime.

[Should Hinata be nervous? Maybe.]

[Hinata's eyes are brightening with interest-- no nervousness at all. Whoops. But he trusts Komaeda implicitly.]

Then... should we get up, Nagito?

[He traces his fingers tenderly along his arm, feeling a little lazy yet but. He's curious, too.]

I suppose we should. We can't let presents stay ungiven the whole day.

[Really Hinata. Be more nervous. What if what he got you explodes? It could happen. That would be his luck.]

But still... it really is nice being like this. [That tender touch, that sets a pleased shiver racing through him and has him snuggling in closer.]

[Hinata's confident in things not exploding today!! He makes a quiet noise as Komaeda snuggles in (cute, he's so cute) and ruffles his hand over his hair, cheeks reddening.

Just because it's cute...]

Yeah, it is... [......] But we can do more of this after. What d'you say?

[Ruffling his hair is no way to get him to move at all, you know. Komaeda isn't complaining though. To the contrary, he's soaking up the attention and the touch. He murmurs a wordless sound before lifting his head to peek up at Hinata now.]

Mm! I'd like that, doing more of this.

[So for now he extricates himself from Hinata's arms, moving to sit up, hair drifting into his face, mussed from sleep so even more of a mess than it usually is.] So then, let's go make the most of Christmas.

[Hinata laughs, lounging for a moment where he is and grinning up at Komaeda with his flyaway hair.] With that hair? [he jokes, reaching up to flick a piece from his face.

But he's moving to sit up proper, his own hair looking not too messy. His ahoge is bent in several places, though...]

Ah... is it particularly bad? [It must be, right? He lifts a hand to it and okay yeah it's everywhere, but it's fine. Hinata has probably seen him worse before. Reaching out to curls a finger around Hinata's ahoge and tugs gently.]

You're a little crooked too.

[It's cute. Maybe he should have gotten him a hair straightener! Then he could have borrowed it. Except no.] I suppose we'll have to have a casual morning looking like this.

Oi-- [Hinata's neck bends as his ahoge is tugged like NO, IT'S ATTACHED. Grumbling, he lifts a hand to crumple Komaeda's already crumpled hair.]

It's probably pulled straight again, thanks to you...

[Ruffle ruffle.] But we can take it easy this morning, and worry about how we look later.

You're welcome, Hajime. I'm happy to help fix it.

[That's not what he was getting at, Komaeda. But Komaeda is ignoring the griping and instead just laughing as he's ruffled. Jeez. He nods in agreement.] Mm! I think that's a good plan.

But somehow you're gorgeous as always. It doesn't seem fair, does it?

[He sighs. SIGHS. So heavily. Woe is Komaeda having a cute boyfriend. His life is suffering.]

[Hinata pauses and looks over at him, quirking an eyebrow.] I'm pretty sure me being a mess in the morning isn't gorgeous...

[He pushes himself up to his feet, just laughing at his sigh and offering a hand.

C'mon, boyfriend. Upsy-daisy.]
