Short summary: Rosa returns to find Kain awake but Cecil still sleeping.
“He’s still sleeping?”
“Mm.”
Rosa sits down on the bed opposite of Kain and leans over to brush Cecil’s bangs away from his closed eyes. When she left the bed this morning, way too early in the day for any strenuous activity but perfect to catch the sunrise, the two men who shared the bed were both asleep. Now upon her return, it seems Kain is awake. However he remains laying on his side, his left hand resting on Cecil’s bare chest, his eyes only looking at Cecil’s peaceful expression. It seems like last night Kain was the one who got snared by Cecil’s stray limbs; if she looked under the sheets she’d likely see Cecil’s left arm securely around Kain’s waist. But it also seems like Kain is in no rush to leave.
And she is in no rush to make him move either. It’s a rarity for Kain to stay; at first because he was hesitant to stay and intrude on their “marriage”, later because he had duties to attend to as Cecil’s righthand military man. But today is a rest day for everyone, from the servants to the king himself. Which is why Cecil still sleeps. Which is why Rosa and Kain want Cecil to sleep. Which is why Kain is still in the bed and why Rosa has returned to it.
She leans over Cecil’s sleeping form further to press a kiss against Kain’s forehead. He looks up at her afterwards and allows her to press a kiss to his lips next.
When they part, she looks back down again at Cecil, still sleeping, still dreaming peacefully. There’s only one thing to do now. She slides under the sheets and lies back down next to Cecil’s right.
“See you in a few hours.”
“Rest well, Rosa.”
