Kakashi looked up at the tired hollows under Ryouma’s eyes. “Maybe tomorrow,” he said, and knew that was the right answer when Ryouma yawned widely and couldn’t quite smother it.

It didn’t take a lot of encouragement to make him lie down and prop his leg up, per doctor’s orders. While Ryouma got settled, Kakashi liberated the pillow Ryouma had tried to pulverize him with, and stretched out on the floor, tucking it comfortably under his head.

There was an unsurprising number of kunai holes in Ryouma’s ceiling.

Ryouma rolled over enough to hang over the edge of the bed and raise his eyebrows at Kakashi. “Planning on staying there?”

Comparative to any number of missions, Ryouma’s floor was warm, carpeted, and reasonably clean. Kakashi said, “Unless you want me to leave, but then I would not be here to make breakfast. Also I’m comfortable, so you’d have to drag me back to my room and that would make the lieutenant and Niimi-sensei shout at you.”

“I’m not going to roll off and break my knee again. Your bed is fifteen feet away,” Ryouma said, amused. He hesitated, then said, “Or you could come up here, if you want. There’s room.”

Kakashi tilted his head, searching for an ulterior motive, but Ryouma just sounded tired and a trace wary, like he wasn’t sure about the offer or its reception. They’d certainly slept closer in the bunker, bolstered by Katsuko. But that had been mission fall out, foxhole comfort. And at least in Kakashi’s case, a lot of drugs.

“No,” he said, but carefully. “I just want to stay here and have the same team in the morning.” An additional thought occurred: Ryouma, for all his casual ease with other people, might actually want some space. Kakashi pushed himself up on one elbow, and said, “I can clear out if you want your room back, though.”

Ryouma shook his head, settling back with a creak of springs. “Got used to your snoring in the safehouse. You’d probably sleep better without a mask, y’know.”

“I do not snore,” Kakashi said.

“Could’ve been the lieutenant.”

“Shut up and go to sleep.”

Ryouma laughed again, softer this time, and a moment later the blue blanket slid down to smother the rest of Kakashi’s outrage.
