[ the giggling jostles yuri's head a little where it's purchased on finn's shoulder and he grins because it's cute and he can feel it and he's allowed to be here and they're gonna date and--
shh. shhhhhh.
yuri hums quietly at the question before snorting. ]
Jas keeps staring at Neon like he wants him in ways that are going to result in the rest of us losing sleep just from the sheer volume of it all. You know he hasn't brought back a single groupie after a show in like... three weeks? If he doesn't do something soon I think Ry's going to lock them in a green room until they resolve the tension.
I don't know if locking them anywhere would be a good idea, especially if you have somewhere you guys need to go...
( for once, he knows he's not wrong.
finn chuckles, finally quite comfortable in yuri's presence, actually enjoying they way he's cuddled into his shoulder. with a smile, he squeezes his hand, wanting to get more comfortable in bed. )
I - if it's not weird, I brought my toothbrush in case I fell asleep. We - we could still cuddle like this. If you want.
[ and then he pauses because what do you mean he brought his toothbrush with him. yuri's brain goes blissfully blank for a solid five seconds before he squeezes finn's hand back. he's relatively certain that his ears have turned an interesting shade of pink, and he wouldn't be surprised if it's traveled a little down his neck. ]
It's not weird. It's-- unexpected, maybe, but not weird. I would love to cuddle like this while sleeping.
[ his head lifts so that he can smile up at finn. ]
I should warn you, I'm a clinger. So apologies if you run hot.
Just trying to make up for - you know, last week, ( finn explains quietly. he is always intentional in everything he does, and he hopes that yuri doesn't take it as a pity offer. they are, after all, pre-dating.
he chuckles, wrinkling his nose. ) We can turn up the air conditioner if you're gonna cling a lot.
( it's not the biggest step for most people. but finn has caught onto yuri's blushing and has begun to mirror that same flush on his cheeks. )
Mm, good call. It's nice to crank the AC and burrow under covers, anyway. I'll go do that if you wanna tuck your toothbrush in the bathroom.
[ he assumes it's hiding in one of the bags of goodies, and probably for the best that yuri didn't see it right away. then again, he might have just thought finn's extra hygienic and wanted to brush after ice cream.
yuri turns his head and bumps his forehead against finn's shoulder before he pulls away and extracts himself from the bed. his shirt lifts as he stretches his arms up over his head, grunting a little when his joints pop before he leans over the ac to start fussing with it.
and maybe he takes a little longer than necessary, pausing to stare out of the window into the city around them before he draws both layers of curtains closed. he wants to give finn time to maybe... gather himself, if he needs it.
yuri needs it.
he returns to the bed and burrows in, giddy with the anticipation of... cuddling. ]
( finn rolls away until his feet touch the floor again and he shuffles to his bag to pull out his travel toothbrush. being a good kid and all, finn quickly skitters into the bathroom to give his teeth a little brush after the late night sugar intake.
plus, he doesn't want his morning breath to be so rotten if they're ... going to have this sleepover, as impromptu as it is.
he dabs at his face with one of the little hotel face towels and blinks at his reflection. his black hair sticks out every which way after rolling around on the pillow for a bit. his cheeks are a little ruddy since he's been spending all this one-on-one time with yuri. he looks ... the same, but there's a different air to himself now that he's back in his home world. he kind of likes it.
with a deep breath, he opens the door, smiling at yuri already under the covers. well! he he goes! )
[ why is yuri more nervous for this than he was the night he lost his virginity? like why is this the thing that's making his heart race and his palms sweat? (hold on, let him just wipe those on the covers really quick.)
he looks up and away from the tv when finn comes back into the room and he returns the smile, gaze soft (and kind of sleepy, now that they're about to bunker down; the adrenaline of the last hour is really starting to crash). yuri pulls back the blankets on the other side of the bed and pats the empty space-- before lifting both of his arms and making grabbing motions with his hands. ]
( well, that's sweet. finn's smile grows as he shuffles closer to the bed, chuckling at the way yuri's hands open and close. another cute thing he can add to his new list of cute things yuri does.
he gingerly gets into bed as if not wanting to jostle his body much. one knee, then the other, then the full side of his body underneath the covers so he can pull them up to his chest. his breath smells spearmint fresh and he looks back at him through heavy-lidded eyes. )
Mmkay, I'm ready.
( he ... holds an arm out to welcome yuri back into his personal space. )
[ yuri happily wriggles closer as soon as finn is settled in (and he's invited) so that he can figure out exactly how he's going to get himself slotted against finn.
he starts with settling his head on his shoulder, at least, grinning just a little bit as he thinks about poor finn's arm going numb in the middle of the night. ]
Y'know, if your arm starts to go to sleep, feel free to wriggle it free. Just don't move too far away!
[ and then carefully, as though testing the waters, he lets his arm not trapped beneath him snake out to drape across finn's torso. his hand dangles loosely on the other side and he rubs his cheek against finn's shoulder as he gets fully settled in. ]
( finn's never been opposed to cuddles. he tends to not initiate them, simply allowing the people he adores to come in and claim their spot against his side or on his shoulder. he likes it that way, that he can be that reliable touch. with the way things have already gone tonight, he certainly would enjoy being that person for yuri as well. )
I promise to stay close, ( he whispers, crossing his heart. this is closer than they've ever been and it's not scary right now, with the hotel room all cozy and the television still on. maybe he should set the time to turn off when they're both dozing. )
Yuri, I. This is nice. ( finn exhales, leaning in to bump their heads together. )
[ yuri giggles quietly at the head bump and absolutely fights the urge to lean up and steal a kiss. he wants to, so very badly, but... no, not yet, he can't do that yet. he can hold on and wait for their first kiss to be something more. when he's certain that finn wants it, too.
the hand wrapped around finn curls in a little so he can lightly hold on to the fabric of his shirt instead of just dangling there. like he's clutching a giant teddy bear. ]
We're taking off for the next stop tomorrow afternoon. We could... we could use the travel time to maybe find somewhere to go on a date? Maybe they have a park we could go for a picnic, or an aquarium or something...
( finn softens his voice, a little sheepish. ) That sounds lovely. Any of that.
( finn will soon find once they wake up tomorrow morning that he does like being cuddled by yuri in his sleep. it's comfortable, but he looks forward to the day it become a true form of comfort for him. with the room so cold around them, he's grateful for the blankets. )
And aquarium and something like ... cupcakes and iced tea.
An aquarium it is. Oh! We should see if there's one at any other stops we go to, too.
[ and then he quiets down a little bit, maybe sounds just a touch sheepish himself when he speaks again. ]
It could be like... our thing. If you wanted to have a thing. That's ours.
[ aquarium dates followed by boba and dessert honestly sounds like the absolute best afternoon yuri could ask for. ]
Or not, if that feels like too much. I've just never-- I mean, I told you already that I've never really dated anyone, so I've just had all of these... ideas in my head for a long time. About things to do with someone I like.
[ yuri laughs and nods, which is really just him rubbing his cheek against finn's shoulder, before he lets out a breath. ]
You're right. We have time.
[ he doesn't have to rush this. in fact, he shouldn't rush it, and he's already anticipating that being The Wisdom that will be bestowed upon him when bren and ryker inevitably sit him down to have a Conversation with him.
( finn closes his eyes, smiling gently. it isn't something he should be thanked for, but he doesn't protest it. )
I just needed some time to think about it, ( he assures him, his voice a little hazy-sounding now that he's given himself permission to settle in. he gives a great big puppy yawn and burrows underneath the blankets. )
I guess we should probably get some shut-eye, mm? ( as if he isn't already a third of the way there already. )
[ yuri can't help but echo the yawn, turning his head a little bit to cover the motion against finn's shoulder. when he exhales he settles in, eyes already falling shut as he makes himself as comfortable tucked in against finn as he possibly can.
this is probably going to be the best night of sleep he's had in a long time. ]
Next time you see your mom, thank her for me, too.
[ slightly slurred with sleep, but coherent enough to be understood. ]
