the only thing you have to promise is to come back as soon as you can. you're warm.
[ really Rook can't blame Jiho for that reaction at all, he doesn't look at it the same as the assassin, he knows this, but --
that puts a little more in perspective. kind of. this has been Rook's existence for over two thousand years, he knows only this. but for the first time he wants something more. wants something less transient.

You do. The first one better be pink and yellow too. Stripes!

...damn.]
would that really scare you?
no, it isn't the place where you do that.
i need a new phone.
no subject
Maybe concern me more than scare.
Mmm, I can get you a new one if you want, you have a preference at all?
no subject
kill him.]
you don't have to be concerned for me. i mean, it's better than if the phone auto corrected the other way around.
[just imagine if rook was looking forward to a cuddle and a nap and instead...]
this one's ok, really.

[ so is sex. most of the time. he is pretty sure that it would be amazing with Jiho, but he also knows he will take naps and cuddles too.]
If you're sure.

Does it? How would you know mmm? Maybe your bed is just really comfy okay.

he's sinking deeper. but be aware, he'll take you with him.]
maybe for you. i've slept with your big shiny knee in my kidney before.
no subject
I'm sorry! You can totally push me out if that happens again. I was probably trying to cuddle you.
no subject
[he might've tried at first, but rook's pretty solid and now...now he doesn't want to.]
we just need to practice lining up our bodies.
no subject
[ does the thought of 'practicing' snuggling you make him flush more than anything else? MAYBE IT DOES. are you surprised? ]
no subject
if you slept on your back more, i could just lie on top of you. or mostly on top of you.
no subject
That-- that I can do. Sounds nice.
We should still practice it though, until, you know, it's second nature.
no subject
we could start right away.
no subject
I have a nap nest all ready for you.
no subject
but if you get summoned away this time, i really will make someone pay for it.
no subject
I can't promise that I won't, but I can promise to make a nest twice as comfortable later if I do. Maybe bring back some nice tea for you?
[ he types out 'sorry' and deletes it about seven times before he just vows to make sure that he is the most comfortable napping partner. ]

Maybe I will even steal some nice blankets when it happens again.
[ when not if because it will happen again. and again. and again until either his punishment is met or the world ends.
he is sure the latter is more likely.]
no subject
[he doesn't want the blankets that someone-
but he doesn't want rook getting depressed either.]
i'm going to knit my own, remember?
