"Really comfy," Daus mumbled, cracking a small smile as he turned to look towards Erikos as well. He rubbed his amber eyes tiredly, attempting to blink out the drowsiness. He had never really slept that much, but a weird feeling of being next to Erikos seemed to make him comfortable.
Erikos gave him a smile before letting his eyes close. If there was one thing besides eating he could do, it was sleep. He felt himself dozing off quickly, a yawn escaping him as he snuggled into the pillow
Daus smiled softly at the way Erikos snuggled into his pillow before he closed his eyes as well. He felt himself doze off, part of his face buried in the pillow out of habit.
(time skip to the next morning?)
(yeah, that sounds good.)
Erikos awoke the next morning with a soft yawn, keeping his eyes closed in an attempt to fight back the sunlight filtering through the curtains. He went to move, but slowly realized that he was more or less spooning Daus. He blinked a few times in surprise before shuffling to the far side of the bed as stealthily as he could, his face feeling like it was suddenly on fire
Daus made a small sound as he hugged his pillow dorkily, feeling Erikos shift next to him. He seemed to stir a bit, but his eyes remained closed as he yawned faintly. This was the most he had ever slept, so he wasn't going to move in a while.
Erikos held the other pillow close to his chest, giving a muffled noise of frustration before covering his face with it. What was wrong with him lately? Ever since Daus showed up, he had been a flustered, bumbling idiot. He was never like this, so why was he acting like it now?
Daus finally cracked an eye open at a muffled sound, frowning faintly as he sat up. He didn't remember where he was at first, though after a few moments, the recent memories of yesterday flooded his mind. Yawning and stretching a bit, he looked down towards the pillow covering a figure's face before he realized that it was Erikos, a small grin crossing his face at that.
Erikos kept the pillow pressed to his face, deciding he'd rather suffocate than let Daus see his face as red as it was. He hugged the pillow, wondering idly if he might be able to fall back asleep
"I'd let you sleep, but I'm kind of worried that you're suffocating," Daus mumbled, a small smile tugging the corners of his lips up as he glanced down towards Erikos and the pillow covering the others face.
"I'm perfectly fine, thank you," Erikos responded, hugging the pillow closer to his face as if he was trying to prove a point. He let out a sigh, humoring Daus by letting the pillow shift so that it was only covering the bottom half of his face
"Just checking," Daus chuckled as he looked down looked down towards Erikos, laughing a bit when they hugged the pillow closer to their face. He yawned and brushed a few strands of hair away from his face before leaning back down against one of the pillows again.
"You were probably hoping I was dead so you could take me to the underworld," Erikos teased, moving the pillow so that the top edge was right below his chin. He turned to face Daus a bit, a lopsided grin spreading across his face
"Definitely. I'm waiting for the perfect moment to murder you so you can be my buddy down there," Daus laughed, smiling a bit as he looked towards Erikos as well. "I don't have a lot of friends down there…unless you count the sarcastic ghosts that like to bother me," he added, chuckling a bit at the thought. He knew a few ghosts, but most were vengeful or extremely sarcastic and moody.
"Well, I'd be sarcastic if I was dead too," Erikos chuckled. "But no, I wouldn't be a ghost. I'm not sure how it works, but when half demons die they turn into full demons. Which is strange, because then you've got to wonder how the first demon became a demon. I just hope I'm not tied to the river like mom was. I want to go explore and stuff, you know?"
"I used to be the most sarcastic ghost in existence," Daus joked as he propped his elbow up, resting his chin on the palm of his hand as he looked towards Erikos. He nodded in understanding to the other's next comment, humming in thought for a few moments. "You could be like Popeye the sailor man…except you're a demon. Just make sure to visit me whenever you do die," He said as he smiled faintly.
"I'll figure some way to visit you out. I mean, eating people and terrorizing merchants can only occupy so much of my time," Erikos said with a small laugh. He ran a hand through his mess of dark hair absently, some stray locks sticking out at odd places
"You really only realize how many people die in one day when you have to judge all of them," Daus sighed, laughing a bit as he looked towards Erikos. He reached out and brushed a few of Erikos' messy locks down, not realizing what he was doing before he stopped and pulled his hand back.
Erikos tensed up a bit at the touch, his face flushing a bit. God damn it, stop blushing like a little girl! he shouted at himself in his mind. In an attempt to play it off he simply laughed at Daus' comment. "Well, I'll try not to kill too many people when I'm a demon then," he chuckled
"Yeah, that would be nice," Daus answered, laughing softly as he laid down on his back for a few moments, intent on not letting Erikos see the pink tint on his cheeks. Since he was paler, he was sure that it was already visible.
"Your face is doing the thing again," Erikos pointed out, resorting to teasing Daus about his similar issue. Wait a second. Daus was blushing. He was blushing. What did that mean? He hid his face in the corner of one of the pillows, something strange and warm curling in his chest
"It's called blushing," Daus mumbled, though it came out a bit muffled as he hid his face with the sleeves of his sweater, not daring to meet Erikos' gaze. He cursed himself mentally for being so flustered, but it was something that he could barely control most of the time.
"It's kind of cool-looking. I mean you're sort of pale, so it adds…color or whatever," Erikos said slowly, trying and failing not to trip on his words. He was struggling to find the right words now, which was horrible considering he was usually easy to talk to
"I didn't know blush was cool-looking. I heard that it usually makes me look like a dork," Daus joked as he peeked towards Erikos through his fingers, mentally willing his blush to fade away, though his cheeks continued to have a warm sensation.
