Hours passed, it was late evening.
Cool breeze blew as the sun had set, the darkness setting in.

Sanemi woke up feeling well-rested and warm. He blinked his eyes open, his vision still blurry. He turned his head to the side to find Giyuu sleeping peacefully beside him.

Giyuu was breathing softly, his chest rising and falling as he slept.

Sanemi stared at him for a long moment, his eyes soft and full of emotion. He reached out tentatively, his hand hovering over Giyuu's cheek before gently brushing away a strand of hair.

"Giyuu..."
He whispered, his voice full of emotion.

"I'm sorry..."
He swallowed hard and looked away, his eyes filled with guilt and shame.
He pulled his hand away from Giyuu's face and sat up, his back hunched and his posture tense.

"I shouldn't have let you take care of me..."
He muttered, hating himself for his actions.

"Mmh..."
Giyuu fluttered his eyes open, his gaze shifting to Sanemi.

He smiled enthusiastically as he hugged him.
"You're awake, did you sleep well?"

Sanemi froze at the sudden embrace, unsure of how to react. He hesitated for a moment before wrapping his arms around Giyuu, holding him tightly.

"Yes..."
He whispered, burying his face in Giyuu's shoulder.

Giyuu gently patted his head.
"Are you feeling better...?"

Sanemi nodded slowly, still holding him tightly. He didn't want to let go.
He felt safe and calm in the embrace. It was a feeling he hadn't had in a long time.

"Yes... I am..."
He whispered, his voice shaky.

Giyuu pulled away from the hug, leaning closer to him. His face was inches away from his as he whispered.
"Are you sure?"

Sanemi blinked, surprised by the sudden closeness. He could feel the heat radiating off Giyuu's body and the softness of his lips.
He inhaled deeply, breathing in Giyuu's scent. He was torn between pushing him away and pulling him closer.

"I... I'm sure..."

Giyuu pulled back, his smile never leaving.
"You do look way better than how you did before... so I guess everything's fine."

He blushed softly as he held Sanemi's hand.
"T-Take good care of yourself, Sanemi..."

Sanemi smiled sweetly, his gaze never leaving Giyuu's. He squeezed his hand, grateful.

"I will, Giyuu..."
He whispered, leaning closer to Giyuu. He wanted to be near him, to hear his voice. It was a feeling he couldn't explain.

Giyuu kissed him on the forehead. "Good..."
He smiled, so warmly, Sanemi could feel his heart melt.

"G-Giyuu..."
Sanemi muttered, feeling a warmth spread through his body. He couldn't help but smile back, feeling a deep affection for the person who cared for him so much.

"Hm?"
Giyuu tilted his head to the side curiously.

Sanemi pulled him closer, nuzzling against his neck. He closed his eyes, breathing in Giyuu's scent. He could hear the sound of his heartbeat and it calmed him down.

"You're so cute..."
He muttered, his voice playful and teasing.

Giyuu chuckled softly.
"St-Stop that!"

Sanemi chuckled back, pulling away from Giyuu's neck. He looked at him with a gentle smile, his eyes sparkling with joy.

"I'm glad I have you, Giyuu..."
He said, his gaze sincere and voice serious.

Giyuu's eyes widened for a moment before he smiled.
"I'm glad too, glad that we're together."

He blushed as he leaned closer to Sanemi.

"I'm yours..."

He muttered, his gaze never leaving Sanemi's as his blush deepened.

Sanemi's heart skipped a beat at the words. A surge of happiness and love for Giyuu building up inside of him. He smiled softly, his hand caressing Giyuu's cheek.

"Mine..."
He whispered, his blush deepening.

Giyuu covered the hand he used to caress his cheek, kissing it gently.
"That's correct..."

Sanemi's heart fluttered as he felt a sense of contentment wash over him, knowing that Giyuu belonged to him.

He leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to Giyuu's lips.

"I love you..."
He murmured, his arms wrapping around him.

"I love you too..."
Giyuu mumbled, his heart filling up with warmth.

Sanemi hugged him tightly, feeling his body against his. He buried his face in his neck, breathing in his scent.
"I'm so lucky to have you..."

Giyuu chuckled softly, pulling away.
"You're being too sweet again, Sanemi!"

Sanemi smirked, looking up at Giyuu from his neck. He chuckled back, his voice deep and playful.
"Well, you deserve all the sweetness in the world..."

Giyuu blushed hard, looking away with embarrassment.

Sanemi's eyes sparkled with amusement as he looked at Giyuu's blushing face.

"You're so adorable when you're embarrassed..."
He said, his voice soft and affectionate.

"S-Stop already..."
Giyuu blushed more, his breathing fast.

Sanemi chuckled, his eyes scanning Giyuu's flushed face.
"But why would I want to stop when I can keep going and make you even more embarrassed?"

Giyuu's face turned an even deeper shade of red, and he tried to hide it behind his hands.

"Sh-Shinazugawa-San!"
He stammered out.

Sanemi grinned, loving how he could make Giyuu react. He leaned in, his breath warm against Giyuu's neck.
"Didn't I tell you to call me Sanemi...?"

Giyuu shivered as Sanemi's breath tickled his skin, goosebumps rising on his arms.
"I'm S-Sorry... I forgot..."

Sanemi's grin widened as he continued to breathe against Giyuu's neck.

"That's okay, I'll remind you..."
He whispered, his voice low and husky.

"Sanemi... Say it..."
He demanded, his arms tightening around Giyuu.

Giyuu's heart raced, and he felt like he was melting under Sanemi's gaze.

"S-Sanemi..."
He whispered, his voice barely audible.

"Sanemi..."
He repeated, his face buried against Sanemi's chest as he tried to hide his embarrassment.

Sanemi's hold on Giyuu tightened as he leaned down to press a kiss against his forehead, feeling the heat emanating from his body.

"I love hearing you say my name..."
He murmured, his voice filled with affection.

Giyuu's face lit up, a warm smile spreading across his face as he looked at Sanemi.

"I-I'm glad..."
He murmured, tilting his head back to look at him with adoration.

Sanemi smiled back at Giyuu, his eyes softening as he looked at him.

How I wish we could stay like this forever...

Because,

I can't go a day without thinking of you, Giyuu...

You're the only one I'd ever allow to hug me and caress me, even if I'm not in the best mood.

You're really...

...The only one.

He smiled, lost in Giyuu's sparkling eyes.
