Sai slept peacefully on his daybed. His deep blue sheets were wrapped around the lower half of his body exposing just a little bit of boxers covered
in dolphins and goldfish. Kento watched through the tiny crack in the door to Sai's room. He smiled silently to himself. He always loved watching Sai
while he slept. The way the sun always seemed to shine on him just the right way so as to highlight his auburn hair making it glow faintly. Sai shifted
faintly in his sleep sliding one hand under his head and the blanket slid down just a little bit revealing a creamy pale thigh. Kento opened the crack of the
door just enough to slide in and grimaced slightly as the wind-chime Sai had hung on the door jingled a little. Kento turned his head quickly to see if his
sleeping prince showed any signs of awakening. Fortunately Sai didn't stir at all and Kento quietly stole into the room. He took one step into the room and immediately regretted it. The board creaked loudly underneath Kento's weight.

Kento froze immediately and looked to Sai. Sai stirred a little bringing his hand to his ear and scratched it lightly. Kento made to bolt out of the room but breathed a very light sigh of relief when Sai returned to his quiet slumber. Kento walked as quietly as possible to a nearby chair in the middle of the room. He sat down and grimaced again when the chair and the floor both let out a small groan of protest. Sai however showed no signs of waking. Kento sat there as quiet as possible. Watching every little flicker of Sai's body. Kento missed these times. They always seemed to be in some emergency or another and it was rare to see Sai as peaceful as this. That was the whole reason he had gotten up so early. Normally he always slept later than everyone else did. But today he wanted to see Sai. He wasn't sure why he wanted to see him sleeping. He just did. He was glad he had too. Sai was so peaceful and serene. Kento longed to touch the smaller warrior but refused to let himself. He didn't want to do anything that would ruin this moment. Sai squirmed under Kento's scrutiny and Kento worried that perhaps he was going to wake him. However Sai just pulled up his blankets up to his chest and returned to his peaceful slumber. Kento smiled again faintly and sat there for several minutes.
Finally he gave in to his temptations and carefully lowered himself to the floor. He had only taken one step when the floor groaned and Sai's eyes
fluttered open.

"Kento?" Sai seemed baffled to the larger warrior's presence. Kento's felt the warmth of a blush creep onto his face.

"Um. I just. Uh. Wanted to watch you sleep. Sorry." Sai let out a quick smile and curled up in his blanket and let out a small yawn.

"Oh, Ok. Well I think I'm going back to sleep then." Kento quickly resumed his place on the chair and sat blissfully and Sai slid back into slumber.

However Sai's sleep didn't seem as peaceful. He opened his eyes every now and then and smiled at Kento only to close them again. Kento felt guilty for
waking him up but didn't really want to leave. Kento finally got up and left the room to fetch him a small bite to eat. He sat on the couch for a few
moments. He didn't want to disturb Sai's sleep but Sai looked so peaceful and so cute when he was sleeping. It was hard for Kento to stay away. Eventually he
made his way to Sai's room again and found his place on the chair again. This time with little bit more success. He smiled brightly at Sai's sleeping form.
However Sai started squirming again and finally opened his eyes. Kento only smiled and sat there. Sai yawned sleepily and sat up.

"Hmmm. I think maybe I'll go sleep on the couch." Kento raised an eyebrow at this but didn't dispute. All the other guys were asleep with exception
of Sage who was out practicing. Sai and Kento made their way to the couch. Kento and Sai sat down on the couch and Sai quickly snuggled his way into
Kento's arms and laid there peacefully. Kento smoothed out Sai's hair and let out a sigh of contentment.

They laid there for a few minutes with Kento gently caressing Sai's face and hair with his one free arm. The other one was pinned under Sai's head as
a pillow. Kento started loosing feeling in his arm but didn't want to disturb Sai. But finally he shifted and removed his arm from under Sai's head cause
Sai to only blink up at him.

"Um Sorry. My arm was falling asleep." Sai smiled and closed his eyes again. Kento looked down at the peaceful scene lying in his lap and couldn't
resist an urge to run two fingers down Sai's pale cheek. His fingers rested on Sai's soft lips and Sai half-awake parted his lips faintly darting out his
tongue to lick the tips of them. Kento placed his other arm along Sai's collarbone tracing lightly around the edge of his shirt. Sai opened his lips a little
more and began to gently suck on Kento's fingers ever so softly. Kento continued to gently caress Sai's collarbone with his fingertips, slipped his other
fingertips out of Sai's lips. Sai gave a brief smile up to Kento blinking a couple of times.

"Is everything alright, my love?" Kento nodded faintly bringing his hand down around Sai's shoulder giving it a gentle squeeze.

"Yeah, just enjoying the moment." Sai snuggled his head into Kento's lap a little more and closed his eyes again letting out a small moan of content.
Kento watched Sai fall slowly back into slumber listening to the even breaths. He placed his hand on Sai's heart, feeling his heartbeat thumping
peacefully. Kento let out a small sigh of content and leaned back his head against the back of the couch. He tried to match his breath with Sai's finding it a
little difficult at first. However, eventually he too fell into slumber. He was vaguely aware of Sai's body shifting so that Sai's body now faced toward him
rather than on his back.

He wasn't sure how long he slept, but the sudden sound of footsteps walking by him and faint chuckle awoke him. He opened his eyes to see Sage's form
retreating back to his room and he smiled faintly.
