He flinched, as he followed the movement of I Love You back and forth across his back a few times. At first he didn't know what Axel was writing but once he got it he shuffled and turned around to look him in his eyes, his whole face blue. He took a few deep breaths and then got closer, whispering with his last ounce of strength. "I love you too…" Before burying his face into his neck.
His heart hammered in his chest, he was so, so scared. He didn't want to be rejected. But what if all Satsu saw him as was a friend? He flinched when the other turned around, withdrawing his hands quickly. He went to apologize but he stopped before slowly easing around the other. He smiled to himself, his heart bursting. "I'm glad…" He whispers softly. "Now get some sleep…" He murmured.
(If my dumbass would quit forgetting rps that'd be nice,wouldn't it? I've been drowning in work and school and relationshit so i am very sorry but i promise i'm back for a while now)
Satsu's whole body got warmer and warmer as his face only cooled in embarrassment. If he got too embarrassed for too long it could kill him, so he was trying to just calm himself down as he lay there, staring at Axels chest. He really hoped it was a romantic I love you, and not a friendly one, as the two had been very close for a long time, to the point where they'd say Love you. But there was never an I Love You. That was too direct, too pointed, more of a romantic statement. At least, that's what Satsu perceived it as. He couldn't sleep though, and spent all night tossing and turning, trying to settle in, but his heart was too busy having a drum solo in his chest and his brain was dancing along to the beat.
Axel seemed to relax, he was dead tired, but he was happy. He seemed to have dozed off, but his mind was wandering nervously. He could feel his friend shifting and moving somewhere in his subconsciousness but he left it at that. He woke up in the morning feeling nervous, but also a little hopeful. He curled around his friend gently, wrapping his arms around Satsu. He always tended to do this whenever Satsu stayed the night. In the morning he would curl into his friend and keep the other to his chest. It was just nice to hold Satsu in his arms.
Satsu yawned as he snuggled into Axel, having not slept a wink and watching the sun come up. "Gmorning sleepy head." Satsu said groggily, turning towards Axel and very lightly kissing his nose. "How'd you sleep?" He asked this softly, cuddling into his friend?
Axel hummed softly and smiled at the other, leaning into the kiss to his nose before humming and pressing a soft kiss to Satsu's forehead. "I slept okay." He murmured quietly. "About last night… I meant what I said… or wrote?" He paused. "I just… I mean it. I really love you. You're just so amazing and kind… and I-" He held Satsu closer.
Satsu blushed again and hid in Axels neck. "S-stop that h-h-ha…handsome…" He murmured very quietly, picking at his fingernails, a sure tell sign of his anxiety kicking up. "You're gonna k-kill me with all of th-this blushiiiiing…" He also whined a bit and hid even more. "Let's…let's get breakfast please."
Axel smiled a little and nods slowly. "Breakfast it is." He slips out of bed and quietly gets dressed, lazily putting his hair into a bun and getting into some casual clothes. He hums and stretches. "Take as much time as you need getting out of bed. You know where the kitchen is." He teases quietly. Axel glances over at his friend…? He didn't know what he could call Satsu now.
Satsu nodded and lay there after Axel left, sitting up and doing some breathing exercises to calm himself down a bit. When he finally did he headed down the stairs, wearing his usual blanket cape, dragging the huge bed comforter down the stairs with him as he tiredly waddled into the kitchen and put his head on Axels shoulder, humming softly. "What's for breakfast?"
Axel was working quietly on breakfast, humming to himself as he worked. The sweet aroma of food wafted through the kitchen. Axel smiles as he felt Satsu press his head against Axel's shoulder. "I made french toast." He hummed happily. "As well as eggs and bacon… You're welcome to go chill on the couch while I finish if you're still tired."
"Mmm…no. I'll fall asleep." He groaned softly, shuffling over to the kitchen and getting out milk,which he poured into a cup, and hot sauce for his eggs, and then over to the spice cabinet for pepper. After all that he plopped down at the kitchen table and put his face on it. "Mmm…this table and my face are the same cold. That's bad." He huffed and covered his face with the blanket and curled in on himself, trying to regain some heat.
He chuckles and waves his hand. "If you say so!" He calls cheerfully. He paused for a moment before turning his attention to the other. "You can go turn on the fire and wait there? Breakfast won't be done for a little while." Axel gently cups his friends face, his hands nice and warm. They were big, too. Easily cupping Satsu's cheeks. "Don't want you getting cold." He states gently.
Satsu nuzzled into his hands and yawned gently, blinking his soft blue eyes gently. This close Axel could see the gold and orange flecks in the ocean of sky in his eyes as he smiled and stood up,and hugged Axel. "I'd rather freeze for you. I like your warmth better than the fires anyways."
He held the other closer, running his hand through Satsu's hair and shakes his head a little. "No baby. I love you so much. But you can't freeze on me, you understand?" He murmured quietly. "But you can cuddle me all you want to stay warm." He murmured gently, smiling a little to himself. He was so glad that it had turned out for the better.
Satsu huffed and stripped down to his fire proof boxers, started up the fire, and just sat in it, warming up rather quickly. He didn't burn or anything,and ended up just curling up there as his face returned to normal color. Then he began to manipulate the flames to make fat little fire people, climbing all over him and running around inside the fire place.
He watched the other do what he needed and gave a satisfied nod before returning back to working on breakfast. It was finished in about a half an hour and smelled absolutely breath taking. He set out a few plates and cups before glancing at Satsu. "Breakfast is ready!"
