[ At least Taiki doesn't seem bothered about being made to sit up instead of comfortably lying there next to Yomotsu. Then again, Taiki often isn't bothered by a thing, so there's no way something small like that would suddenly shake up his personality and make him mind it. He's still a little slumped as he's sitting up against Yomotsu, but he just can't help it - he is tired, and Yomotsu is comfortable and warm right now.
But the urgency does get through to him. Even though being carried in Yomotsu's arms is just as comfortable as lying there with him, or sitting there against him, and even though it's so very tempting to just go ahead and sleep like this.. he can't just do that. Not when even Taiki, who can be a little oblivious sometimes, can notice the tone in the other's voice. He doesn't want to make Yomotsu worry about him, not when he actually realises it and can help him. He doesn't want Yomotsu to ever have to sound like he's worried or on edge, so the least think he can do here is try to stay awake for a while longer, right? He's been doing it all night, so surely he can at least do it for a little while more until they get somewhere comfortable enough to sleep.
So his eyes do open pretty widely to show that he's not falling asleep anymore, shaking his head a little while lying there in the other's arms to try and shake his mind awake a little more too. ]
I'll stay awake.. I promise. [ His voice is a little more gentle than his usual chipper energy, but maybe it's partially because he's still tired to begin with. Or maybe he just really does want to just reassure Yomotsu to the best of his abilities right now.
(Not that it means he doesn't make himself comfortable in the other's grasp anyway, okay.. it's just nice, being carried by Yomotsu like this. He likes it, and a smile appears on his face.) ]
... You'll really hug me though? [ That brings back a little bit of the chipperness, even though it's still a tad muted. ] As much as I want?
[ Be careful there, Yomotsu, you may just have a Taiki clinging to you for the rest of your life like you're an oversized teddy bear... His affection knows no bounds, especially when it comes to hugging and cuddling. ]
