[He stays awake a little while longer, just to make sure that Dohalim isn't faking it in order to make sure Red Wine himself goes to sleep first. When he's satisfied that the man is in fact asleep, and only then, he sighs out a soft exhale and closes his eyes.

And it doesn't take him long at all to fall asleep as well, still with one hand lightly buried in Dohalim's hair.]

[wow??? Dohalim has a bit more integrity than that??? if only because he doesn't want to incur his sleep deprived wrath.

for the most part, Dohalim does end up sleeping the night away; only a few times does he wake up with a jolt, only to be lulled back to sleep at the feeling of Red Wine's hand in his hair, and the warmth under the blankets. come morning, he's still out, pressed against Red Wine's chest and almost completely buried under the covers.

it's close to noon when he finally wakes up properly, slowly, as he tries to blink the sleep away]

[The brief moments when Dohalim does wake up are answered only with a sleepy murmur from Red Wine and a few idle strokes of his thumb behind the man's ear. He shifts around a little in the night of course, but as someone with a tendency towards enjoying cuddling in bed he doesn't move far.

He enjoys a good long lie in, so when Dohalim wakes up he'll find the other man still quite contentedly sleeping.

Red Wine looks peaceful when he's asleep, with the prideful and haughty lines smoothed into something softer.]

[Dohalim doesn't move much at first, only pulling away just so he can get a look at Red Wine better as he sleeps. it really is sweet that he stayed the entire night and morning; he really didn't have to. he has to smile softly to himself; he can practically hear Red Wine's voice in the back of his mind telling him that he's being foolish yet again.

reaching up, Dohalim gently brushes a lock of hair that had fallen into the other man's face, fingertips ghosting over perfect skin as he watches him with admiration]

[His expression pinches softly when he feels his hair being moved and he stirs with a soft sigh, a tiny frown and a mutter of 'five more minutes' exhaled on a breath of air.

A moment later, when he realises the covers are not being ripped off him by Steak and his brain catches up with him, he opens one eye just slightly and then blinks awake.]

Oh. [Hmm... that's nice.] There you are.

[there's a pause before he lets out a soft chuckle, shaking his head. absolutely adorable]

Here I am.

[cupping Red Wine's face with his hand, Dohalim rubs smalls circles against his cheekbone with his thumb]

If you want to catch those last five minutes of sleep, I won't mind.

No, no, I'm awake.

[And with his usual headache. There's a good reason he isn't a morning person. Or really much of a person at all for at least an hour after waking up. He tips his head against Dohalim's palm and hums softly.]

Did you sleep?

[Given that was what he was here for, and all...]

Surprisingly, I did. I'd only woken up once or twice throughout the night.

[which is saying a lot, considering that whatever little sleep he did get, he'd wake up more throughout the night. it was nice, getting a decent night's sleep, for once]

I hope I haven't ruined your sleep schedule by making you come over.

What's a sleep schedule?

[Really, he just sleeps when he wants to.

He is normally not nearly so talkative just after waking and it is a little bit of an effort. Red Wine yawns, covering his mouth with the back of his hand, then reaches out to toy with a curl of Dohalim's hair.]

No bad dreams?

Just one or two.

[there's no point on lying, really. Dohalim's pretty much committed to the fact that he'll never be without nightmares, but it was nice to not be completely terrified of them in the middle of the night]

If you're tired, you should go back to sleep.

[A soft huff of amusement leaves him and he shakes his head.]

I told you I don't wake up quickly.

[Understatement really. It's hard to do when you tend to wake up feeling hung over.]

I'm fine. You worry too much.

Perhaps I do.

[tilting his head up a little, Dohalim presses a soft kiss to Red Wine's lips]

But ever will I be the overthinker.

Hmm...

[He buries his fingers into the richly coloured curls of Dohalim's hair, holding him in that kiss and closing his eyes.

The man really does think too much.]

It's not an entirely objectionable quality.

Yes, but there is always a time and place.

[well, at least he's admitting to it than anything. look at him go, facing his vices. sighing, he shakes his head]

It can be a detriment, sometimes. An annoying one, at that.

There is that. [Another light huff of laughter leaves him as he combs his fingers slowly through the man's hair. It's nice to be given time to wake up instead of being expected to be immediately on his feet and ready for the day.]

We all have our irritating sides. Even me.

[Yes, shocking.]

Hmm... Yes, I suppose we all do.

[leaning in, Dohalim doesn't kiss Red Wine again, but nips at his bottom lip instead]

Don't think for a minute that I've forgiven you for the coercion last night. Twisting my arm like that when I was vulnerable, you should be ashamed of yourself.

[Red Wine shifts at that, and with one hand against Dohalim's shoulder he pushes the man over onto his back and moves to lean over him.]

Isn't it strange how I'm not in the least. [He replies with a spine-melting grin, sliding his hand down from Dohalim's shoulder and idly across his chest.]

But I expect you anticipated such a thing.

Ah, that was my mistake.

[as he's guided down on his back, Dohalim reaches up around Red Wine to gently graze his nails up and down his spine]

I'd forgotten how awful you could be.

If I'm so awful, I'm sure you won't want me doing this.

[He skims his hand down Dohalim's stomach to the inside of his thigh, where he gives a light squeeze against the firm muscle there. His lips press soft and warm against the other man's and his eyes dip closed, a tiny smile pulling at the corners of his mouth.]

In fact I should probably go right away before I offend you further.

[ah, so this is the sort of morning they're going to have then, is it. there's a soft smile of his own as he kisses Red Wine back; he lets out a soft sigh as they pull away. eyes slip half closed as he watches the other man, his leg shifting ever so slightly at the touch]

Presumptuous to think that I was offended. I was only stating the obvious.

[It seems like it is, though Red Wine hasn't decided how far he would like things to go yet. Sometimes just fooling around is fine, and all a person really needs. There isn't any sign of arousal on him yet, just the idle exploration of that one hand stroking up and down the sensitive skin of Dohalim's inner thigh.]

Is that so. You want me to stay, then? [His eyes light up with mischief as he asks.]

And do be specific in your answer, sweetheart.

Hmm... I'd like it if you would.

[perhaps its the contentedness of waking up after a decent night's sleep, or the fact that he's woken up to someone he's grown rather fond of, but, for now, Dohalim is allowing himself just that moment of selfishness. he wants the company, still; he's not ready to let Red Wine leave, just yet]

I do have to give you a house tour at some point, after all.

[Wine-red eyes widen for a moment, the amber flecks held deep in them almost seeming to glow for a moment. He gives another squeeze to the firm muscle under his hand.]

So you can give a straight answer! I'm impressed. [He truly is terrible.]

And you do, that's quite right... but I'm not in a rush to leave.

Oh shush. Don't make me change my mind.

[sliding his hand up, Dohalim gives Red Wine a light slap on the back of his shoulder, but he has a small grin on his face. no, it seems like he'll be keeping the other man around for a while yet, if he's not opposed to it]

Honestly, I'm not inclined to get out of bed right now, either.

[he'll ignore the fact that he has to wash the teapot and cups from earlier]

[He hums, then with a comfortable sigh he settles himself against Dohalim's chest and lets his eyes fall half closed. His long ears dip down slightly in contentment.]

Nor am I.

[To the surprise of no one who knows him well, but Red Wine doesn't really give off the air of a lazy person... so it might be a surprise to current company.]

For a while, at least.
