[ Itsuki can't remember the last time he's slept this soundly. Not that he usually sleeps all that badly, but there's something about him that's so distrustful of the world around him that he's always just that teensy bit too much aware to sleep deeply with his guard down.
This is different. Falling asleep in Kiyomi's arms feels like being sheltered from the world for a little bit - it's a sign he can completely trust her, anyway, that he's letting his guard down this much to begin with.
But it also means that when he opens his eyes in the morning, he stiffens at the realisation of just why he slept so soundly. He's still clinging to Kiyomi in the same position he fell asleep in, cuddling so close to her - his heart beats so quickly that he almost passes right out again from it, and he lets out a squawk of surprise, his cheeks starting to glow once more.
(And yet he doesn't pull his hands off her right away - whether it's surprise or something else, who knows?) ]
