M-21 couldn't sleep. His spine still ached after going through a building and getting stamped on, each breath sending sparks of pain around his body.
He should get up to take some painkillers, but the pain was bearable at the moment. And he would wake up Kentas if he moved.
He exhaled, Kentas' breathing clear to his ears as he watched his face move with every breath. Everyone was alive, if tender. That was the best case scenario he would hope for, really.
A lock of Kentas' hair dropped down, brushing M-21's nose. M-21 tried to jerk back, but his body was already reacting to the sensation.
His nostrils flared and he sneezed. His forehead smacked off Kentas'. "Sh-!"
He didn't get to say more. Kentas' arms snapped out around him and they tumbled off the bed, Kentas growling as M-21's skin prickled at Kentas' transforming. Shit.
Kentas pinned M-21 under his bulk and Kentas' eyes weren't focused, not seeing him. Fucking- Kentas was still reacting to the 'attack' on instinct and if he moved wrong, Kentas' claws were already pressed against his skin.
M-21 gritted his teeth as the pressure against his spine increased but Kentas' growl petered off, his glare relaxing as he sniffed around M-21's face.
Kentas blinked down at M-21 before looking around. "What...?"
"Accident," M-21 said, grunting as Kentas got off him. "I sneezed and you reacted."
"Damn." Kentas shook his head, letting go of his transformation, then extended his hand to M-21. "Sorry."
"Don't be," M-21 said as he took Kentas' hand and was pulled to his feet. He smirked at Kentas. "I would have done the same." It was surprising it hadn't happened earlier.
Kentas grinned. "Hah! Yeah." He glanced out the window — it was still dark out. "Hm, go back to sleep?"
"In a minute," M-21 said, heading for the bathroom. He may as well take the painkillers while he was up.
He was out again less than a minute later, the painkiller working its way through his system, and a hand splashed with water.
"Your hair was what made me sneeze," M-21 said, lifting his hand.
Kentas gave him a wry look but tilted his head towards him anyway. "That's not going to work for long," he said as M-21 patted his hair.
"It'll work long enough for me to get to sleep," M-21 said, making sure his hair was flattened. "We'll work something out in the morning."
"Mm." Kentas slid his arm around him and pressed their foreheads together, rumbling in his chest.
M-21 growled back, smiling faintly as the pain faded, and he was finally able to drift off to sleep again.
