Summary: Tao sighed as he went down the stairs, yawning. And the lights were still on in the living room. Who was up at this time of night?
Notes: Written for explosivestrider's prompt of 'more Rai and Tao interaction'. Didn't quite get the protectiveness though, whoops.

Tao sighed as he went down the stairs, yawning. A nightmare, huh? He didn't tend to get those often and he didn't want to disturb the others, so a midnight snack seemed to be in order. At least until – well. He wasn't sure he wanted to go back to sleep after that.
And the lights were still on in the living room. Who was up at this time of night?
Tao poked his head in and - oh, yeah. It was Raizel-nim, two steaming cups of tea in front of him. So the other one had to be for...
There was no-one else in the room.
Tao went in further, investigating the spaces he couldn't see and nope, Boss wasn't there.
Raizel-nim smiled at him and leaned forward to slide the cup furthest from him towards Tao.
"Is that for me?" Tao asked, pointing at himself, to make absolutely sure. Maybe there was two cups because Raizel-nim was in the mood for two cups of tea right after another. It wasn't exactly rare or anything.
Raizel-nim nodded and oooh. "Hey, you shouldn't have," Tao said, plopping himself down into the nearest seat.
"I was still awake," Raizel-nim said, taking a sip of his tea, and hm. Tao didn't do anything with his tea just yet, just wrapping his hand around the mug and letting the warmth seep into him. Piping hot and just been made. Tao blinked, glancing down at the drink and then at Raizel-nim.
"Uh, I didn't wake you, did I?" Because then Tao should have made the tea for him instead. Waking up to someone else's nightmare had to suck.
This time, Raizel-nim shook his head.
"...Do you and the Boss ever sleep?" From what Tao had seen of them so far, it seemed like they were always up when Tao went to bed and when he woke up again.
"We do," Raizel-nim said.
"Just not as much as regular people, heh," Tao added, a corner of his lips curling up. Regis and Seira seemed to sleep more than Tao, but they were still growing, weren't they? And Boss? Boss was Boss, so he didn't need to have an explanation for it.
Tao sipped his drink, savouring it. And it was exactly how he liked it. Which wasn't too surprising considering who made it. Tao beamed at Raizel-nim. "Thanks."
Raizel-nim dipped his head and Tao hummed, leaning back on the sofa.
"So," Tao said, glancing at the TV. "I don't want to go back to sleep just yet-" And it was nice that he didn't have to explain. Never needed to explain any of his actions inside the house aside from when he exasperated someone. "-so do you wanna watch something?" There had to be something worth watching at this time of night.
And if there wasn't, then they could still talk about it anyway, pick it apart. Or he could do all the talking, letting the words flow out his mouth as they came to him. It would give him something to do, something else to think about.
Raizel-nim smiled at him. "I would enjoy that."
"Sweet!" Tao grabbed the controller and settled in to stay up the entire night. Hopefully Boss wouldn't mind too much if he did end up sleeping on the sofa, but if he did, Tao would just have to make sure he didn't fall asleep with the cup still in his hands.
