[ The upside of Taiki basically doing anything Yomotsu asks him to without questioning it whatsoever means that it also works this time, when he's actually asking for something reasonable. No matter how sleepy he feels right now, he'd never want to let the other down, so Taiki is already moving to cling as well as he can to the other in this state. The fact that Yomotsu is running barely registers with him though... it almost feels like he's in a daze like this, like Yomotsu's face above him is all he can see and the surroundings don't matter a bit. They don't feel as important, anyway. Not as important as the fact that he feels like he was waiting for Yomotsu for so long, but he really came back like he promised. Could anything be better or warmer than that?
Getting home does at least vaguely register with Taiki, even though he doesn't consciously realise how lucky they are that no one is home right now. No matter how little they care about Taiki, surely his relatives would at least ask why there's a stranger in their house - and even if Yomotsu turned himself invisible to normal humans, it'd still be impossible to carry Taiki in without making him look like he's just.. well, floating in the air.
But this definitely is the best case scenario, being able to go into the house without anyone asking questions, while Taiki can just give Yomotsu instructions about where his room is with a soft and sleepy voice.
(Not that the room isn't very obviously Taiki's anyway when you see it. It's definitely a small room, like giving it to him was some kind of afterthought, but there's a bed with a mountain of soft blankets and a collection of ordinary stuff no one would otherwise think to bring inside, like rocks and leaves and the like.
When Yomotsu does manage to get him into the bed, Taiki slowly pulls up at least one of the blankets over him - lacking the strength to really do more than that right now. But it feels warm and comfortable, and when he looks up to see the fox spirit standing there, he reaches his arms up to Yomotsu - almost like a baby would - to try and get the other to come closer. The only thing he can think of right now that would make this situation more comfortable would be to have Yomotsu right there with him to use as a teddy bear of sorts. ]
