And now, a series of vignettes:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2656: Having their hair washed by your muse<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Ah, be careful, Hattori\u2026” Hakuba muttered, wincing, though he leaned forward in defeat as the strong, gentle hands worked through his hair. Despite the earlier knock on the head, the touch was appreciated, and offered a great deal of reassurance. Besides, it wasn\u2019t as though he could wash his own hair with his shoulder as banged up as it was.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2657: Your muse falling asleep with their head in my muse\u2019s lap. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He slept soundly, cheek pressed against the warm leg while Heiji stroked his hair. Though Hakuba was missing the pay-per-view historical drama that they\u2019d rented for the room, Heiji let him sleep. Hakuba was so easily worn ragged these days\u2026 but it\u2019s not as though it had been an easy battle for either of them. Fighting demons was exhausting no matter where you fought them, even at hot springs. And, honestly, it wasn\u2019t like the Osakan hadn\u2019t fallen asleep during the last half of the movie, either.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2659: Sharing a bed <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The resort had comfortable beds, which was good for the two detectives. Of the two queens, one became the holder of suitcases, while they slept in the other, nestled under the sheets, close and warm. Both liked the room cold for sleeping, which made snuggling together all the more important.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u265a: Head scratches<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Morning had Hakuba sleeping in late, which was usual after a battle. He woke up to gentle head scratching, blinking up at Heiji, who nodded at the tray on the bed. Breakfast. He pushed up with a grimace and sidled up against him so that they could eat together, though as usual, Hakuba ended up just holding a cup of tea to sip with one hand, and let his fingers skritch Heiji\u2019s head in return, lightly dozing while they sort-of watched the morning news.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u265d: Reading a book together<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rain drummed against the sliding glass door of their room, and Hakuba mumbled something about wanting to go back to sleep, but Heiji prodded him until he sat back up. They still had clients to meet later that day, and Hakuba would never get up if he went back to sleep then. Though, he did anyway, nestled against Heiji\u2019s side while the Osakan read Black Beauty<\/i>\u00a0out loud for the hundredth time for him.<\/p>\n

\u265f: Patching up a wound<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Under the overhang on the porch was not<\/i>\u00a0the best place to be sewing sutures, but the power was out and Hakuba wasn\u2019t willing to wait for it to come back. Even though it was just a break in the storm, there was more than enough light to work by, and the porch was mostly dry. \u201cYou really ought to take some painkillers, Hattori\u2026\u201d he sighed, threading the needle back and forth with practiced, dextrous hands. \u201cAnd don\u2019t give me that look:\u00a0I<\/i>\u00a0know that you\u2019re a badass, you\u2019ve nothing to prove to me, you nut.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2664: Taking a bath together <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The power was still out after dinner, and with the wind shaking the trees and shutters, the pair decided there was really nothing left to do but take a bath. \u201cS\u2019just like that scene in Totoro, yeah?\u201d Heiji asked, and Hakuba snorted in agreement. \u201cYes, just like.\u201d They huddled together in the traditional bath in the dark, watching the storm through the window. Other than having to make sure that their new bandages didn\u2019t get wet, it was perfectly safe and comfortable to wait right there, soaking their troubles away\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2661: Accidentally falling asleep together <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u2026Hakuba woke up first, for once, because the water had finally gotten cold. Shivering, he nudged Heiji and whined until the Osakan got up so that they could both find their bath robes and run through the rain back to their room. \u201cWhy did we think this was a good idea, again?!\u201d The half-brit cried as they streaked past the maintenance worker who looked up from under his umbrella at them, shaking his head. \u201cCrazy kids\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2662: Forehead or cheek kisses <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“I\u2019ll get the heater go-” Hakuba stopped mid-sentence to look around their room, which was dark and cold. “Or, nevermind, there\u2019s still no power, Hattori\u2026” To which Heiji replied, kissing his cheek. “Guess we\u2019ll have ta get warm th\u2019 old-fashioned way.” \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2660: Your muse adjusting their jewelry\/neck tie\/ etc. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Once all of the blankets from the supply room had been gathered, both Hakuba and Heiji nestled into the comfortable nest and carefully rearranged blankets to make certain that every inch of them was covered. It took quite a bit of wiggling, but they managed, and soon were able to just lie there and listen to the rain and rolling thunder. Hakuba tugged at one of the blankets to cover a bit more of Heiji\u2019s shoulder, then leaned on him sleepily.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2663: Back scratches<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The power came back on sometime in the middle of the night with a whirring thud, waking both of them up, but only long enough to express their disapproval before going back to sleep. By morning, the rain had lightened to a drizzle, and the rising sun lit up their window in a pleasant, gentle glow. Hakuba stretched and rolled over onto Heiji, where he\u2019d sprawled out, and lazily scratched his back while waiting for him to wake up. For once, he felt well-rested, probably because they\u2019d both slept most of the evening and all night. Sighing, he nuzzled against the section of skin between Heiji\u2019s shoulderblades, and traced the contours of muscle ever so gently with his fingertips.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2026it didn\u2019t take long for him to drift off again, though.<\/p>\n
