[ it's quite nice and he's just nuzzling and cuddling closer ]

[gosh she has missed feeling cuddled and comfy in her sleep. winds her arms tighter around your chest]

[ he knew you needed cuddles

someone will eventually have to wake up though, unfortunately ]

[it will probably be her, because lol nightmares]

[ poor big sis. just let me give you all the cuddles and headpettings ]

[yes that would be a good idea, since she is going to bolt upright with a gasp]

[ and he's just sort of going to roll a little and sit up a bit, watching ]

Mako?

[it's pretty obvious she's still lost in the dream for a minute, and then she looks around, confused]

Jiu Wu? What--I--you--

[confused and shaking a little]

[ he's just perfectly calm and quiet, reaching out to gently touch your shoulder ]

Are you okay?

[takes a few deep, shuddery breaths]

Yes.

[no, not really. she's still shaking]

What am I doing here?

[ a little sheepish ]

Ah . . . I came to you, actually. You've looked kind of down, recently.

[ it is obvious you are lying to me ]

But you're obviously not okay. What's up?

[ just going to scoot a little closer and tentatively slide a hopefully comforting arm around your shoulders ]

I...oh. Well.

[there is a moment of cognitive dissonance before she pushes aside the dream and slowly leans against him]

Bad dream, that's all.

[ lets her do that and lifts his hand for some headpettings

but this sounds familiar, so he's asking verrrry quietly ]

About Takeru?

[sets her head on his shoulder, giving in to this being comforted business]

Mm. Not like he is, of course.

[ little brother can do this. all of these headpettings and he's tilting his own head to rest on top of yours ]

I'm just as sorry you had to see it as I am that I did it.

[shrugs a little, just the shoulder that isn't leaning]

It was probably better for all of us that I did. He'd most likely have gone after you again.

But that doesn't mean you wouldn't have tried to go after me, either.

I almost did. But he woke up, so...

I'm glad you had each other. [ he is just leaning against you a little ]

[sighs and curls her legs up to lean more]

Small favors, I guess. You and he are really all right?

I . . . think so, at least. I think he's still a little tense around me, but he told me he'd punch me if I moped about it. He was upset with me the other day, but that wasn't entirely related.

[ yes come to the taiwanese teddybear ]

Mm. Intellectually he's sure he's forgiven you, but...he's not always the best judge of himself.

What was he upset about?

[it is a testament to him that she's pretty comfy with this]

I unintentionally did something that upset Chiaki. It wasn't entirely my fault, but I've talked to both of them already; we settled it.

[ is it because he just likes happies ]

Mm, I see. I'm glad it's settled.

[she's too heart-tired to ask for details at this point, especially for something that's resolved. and it's partially due to a like of happies and partly because she's pretty sure it's really obvious when he is Unsafe]

Me, too.

[ he's just going to pull you backward to flop back down on the bed and get into prime cuddling position

and it is very easy to tell when he is Unsafe ]

Get some rest.
