Got the advantage though. [He grins.] My body is still technically younger than yours.

[He siiiighs.] I don't have much luck of getting taller than you...unless I get a big growth spurt in the next year or two.

Could happen. I don't even know if I'm getting any taller either.

[Considering...] You should really get some rest too, Ted. [He knows how much nightmares wears one out--especially ones to do with memories.]

[He doesn't look at Naoki, if only because his smile faltered at that. Ah, well... it was hard to go back to sleep now, even if he is tired.] Maybe, yeah.

[Naoki's own expression falters, then seems to grow more resolute.] ...want me to go out on the couch?

No. [He shakes his head, moving around so that he'd be on Naoki's side rather than on top of him.] Don't do that.

But you... [He trails off, rubbing the back of his neck. Ted told him before he didn't like sleeping in the same room as others, and...]

I invited you over. I'm not letting you sleep on the couch when they're a comfy mattress here. [He dismisses the concern, smiling.] Please?

[The concern is not so easily dismissed, y'know. But Naoki can't say no to the please, either, so he's torn. Sigh.] Okay...but just tell me if you want me to go out there. It's not like I mind, either way.

We can just talk then. [He lays back on the bed, looking at the ceiling.] Pass the time until the sun rises.

[Naoki follows his gaze up.] Heh...so much for sleeping, eh. [Not like he minds, though, which is obvious from his tone.]

It's nearly sunrise anyway. A few hours earlier than usual couldn't hurt. [He chuckles.]

Guess you're right. And we can just nap in the day if we get too tired. [Naoki stretches lazily.]

That's right. Hope they didn't mind me hogging you for a whole night though.

I think they'll manage without me for one night. [It's nice. Spending the time with Ted, even with how it started.]

[He nods.] This is nice.

It is. Thanks for inviting me to stay.

You know you're always welcome here. [He stretches, catlike, one arm to the air before he let's it fall back on the bed.] You can never have enough moments like this.

[Naoki thrives off of these peaceful moments and smiles.] You really can't...

C'mere. [Gonna drag you down to his level on the bed so he can go warmth-stealing again.]

Coming. [Naoki laughs, letting himself be dragged.] ...jeez, is heat all I'm good for?

Want me to make a list? [He says in amusement, grinning.]

[Lazily resting an arm over his shoulders.] How long would it be?

No idea. [He says sheepishly.] Probably really long.
