[Of course...the one time Yomotso really, really needs Taiki to listen to him, he sounds like he might fall asleep at any second. He at least gets it though, that Taiki can't help it....because he must be exhausted from staying up so long. But this is still more than enough to send a shot of panic through Yomotsu too, because Taiki can't sleep right now.

He feels guilty before he even does it, but Yomotsu keeps his arms around Taiki and sits up- still holding the other boy too. Sorry Taiki...it's not that he doesn't want you to be comfortable, but...he can't stay like that. He can't take the risk of anything going worse than it already has.

Yomotsu shakes him just a tiny bit too for good measure- a very gentle one to try to wake him up, before tugging the other boy right up against him afterwards. He shakes his head against Taiki too- urgency in his voice now.]

You can't...you can't sleep right now. You have to stay awake with me.

[As much as he wanted to warm the boy up more before they left, he decides that they can't wait around anymore. Taking him into a warm bed, getting him water, and feeding him a hot meal...all of that will come first. And only when he's sure Taiki will be ok, then he'll let him sleep. And Yomotsu will stay the whole time too...he'll watch over him all night.

Without warning, he shifts a little to lift Taiki up into his arms. It's relatively easy for Yomotsu to carry the boy, at least...and he still keeps them pressed closed together too, even as he starts to walk.]

When we get inside somewhere, I'll hug you, or...or do whatever else you want, ok? But you have to stay awake first.
