[ The response draws a small giggle out of Taiki, completely oblivious to everything that's going through the other's mind. Instead he just leans a little into the hand he feels brushing through his hair suddenly, like he's silently asking for more of it - or just trying to soak up every moment of this.
You wouldn't tell judging by Taiki's personality, but it's not like he's ever done this before with anyone, after all. No matter how bright and physically affectionate Taiki is as a person, most people he's encountered in his life have pushed him away the way Yomotsu did just before. It's how he ended up being bounced from distant relative to distant relative after his parents died, no one truly wanting to take care of the boy. Maybe it's why Yomotsu's rejections never really seemed to get through to him.. He was already used to blocking all of it out by then, ending up completely oblivious to people's less than stellar intentions.
But it makes everything about this moment feel even more special. No matter how happy he is by default, this still makes him feel a little extra warm, a little extra loved.. It's a new experience for Taiki, and it makes him wish for this moment where the two of them are cuddled up so close together to never stop. ]
I feel a lot warmer now..
[ It's definitely muffled again, but he's still trying to make sure the other can hear it. Even though Taiki doesn't fully know about all of the negative thoughts going through the other's head, or just the full extent of how much Yomotsu is worrying about him after him having stayed out there all day and night.. he still figured from what the other said earlier that Yomotsu wanted him to be warm, right? So Taiki knows he at least has to let the other know as much now, that his limbs don't feel as stiff anymore now he's under his usual blanket pile, with Yomotsu in there with him like his own personal cuddle heater. ]
That's good, right?
[ It's not as much Taiki asking it objectively - as oblivious as he can be, he knows it's better to be this warm than being too cold - but it's more just about the implication in it. It's good, so it should make Yomotsu happy.. that's what he wants, anyway. Just seeing Yomotsu, let alone being this close to him, fills him with so much happiness.. So all he wants to do is make sure the other is happy too.

That's what soulmates do, right? ]
