I’ll be fine, he’d say, just don’t bother with it but that is a lie. It’s the sweetest thing Akutagawa has ever heard.Īkutagawa wants to insist on Atsushi going back to sleep. If he didn’t personally know the Armed Detective Agency’s, ah, unique personnel, he’d wonder how they let her work with them.Ītsushi’s voice brings him out of his thoughts. “I… don’t think those books are good for sleeping,” he replies, eyes glancing away for a moment. She emits an aura that makes Akutagawa uncomfortable. Yosano Akiko has a problem, and that influences her taste in books. The other day Yosano-san gave me some, remember? I can-”

“Well, what do you want to do? I can get us a book. “You and I both know that you’re lying.” Though his words would have said otherwise, Atsushi carries a light tone to his voice. (They’re black, pure black, like… he doesn’t know. He finds it hard to lie to Atsushi when his eyes, colored the same gold and purple he often finds in old book covers, are staring right into his. “Wait, let me guess-you can’t sleep.”Īkutagawa clears his throat, muffling a cough. “No, now I want to know,” he says, and his hand trails a path from Akutagawa’s hair to his cheek, resting there. Don’t mind it.”Ītsushi opens his eyes, frowning almost instantly. This is far from the first time Akutagawa fails miserably at the simple task that is falling asleep, and at this point, he’s sure that Atsushi is tired of hearing about it. That’s when Akutagawa knows he’s almost asleep. “Atsushi?” He calls, so quietly it’s almost surprising that Atsushi heard him. His eyes are closed, but Akutagawa knows he’s not asleep, if the hand messing with his hair tells him anything. He opens his eyes, and Atsushi comes into view. Slow breaths, Atsushi playing with his hair. Feeling sleep take over his brain little by little, blurring the corners of his mind and melting his thoughts into puddles, he lets himself slip into unconsciousness and-Īkutagawa is tired, that much can be seen, but he’s not asleep. To think of nothing but the sensation of Atsushi’s fingers combing through his hair ( it’s calming, he explains whenever Akutagawa asks why he does that) and their slow breaths. With a hand softly pressed against Atsushi’s back, he closes his eyes and tries to empty his mind. (He once said he’d put up with sleeping on the streets just fine if Atsushi were there with him. Hell, he can live without the blankets, or the moonlight, if he still has Atsushi to wrap his arms-fatter than they used to be, he often notices he’s been eating a lot more since, ah, all of this-around. The only three things Akutagawa needs in order to sleep well, really.

Soft moonlight sneaking through carelessly-closed curtains, thick blankets as protection from the cold… and Atsushi Nakajima.
