[He just laughs lightly in response, wrapping his arms around her once she's turned around and pulling her in close. Yes. For now, spooning.]
[He presses a quick kiss to the shell of her ear before settling himself more comfortably against her and closing his eyes. It...it doesn't really take him long to nod off again. It never does, when Kaede is next to him. He manages to get in a few more hours of sleep, but only a few. Because unlike Kaede, he DID have a very restful night's sleep, even if she woke him up early from it. So, soon enough, he's waking back up.]
[Now, normally he'd be all too happy to just lay in bed and snuggle with Kaede instead of getting up and doing anything particularly productive. But now that he's awake again...his curiosity and concern over the trees is back again. And he can't just lay there idly while there's a minor crisis like that going no. Especially since there's a chance it could happen to Kaede again or to him. She was upset enough over it happening just once...she doesn't need to go through it a second time.]
[So he gently nudges the pianist awake so that he can tell her where he's going, and ask her if she wants to come with him. To the dome, to investigate the trees. And maybe try and get a word in with whoever's in charge of that whole display. Boy howdy does he have some feedback.]
[But, in the end, she'd rather just keep sleeping. And honestly he can't even blame her. So after getting dressed and giving her a few gentle smooches along with the promise that he wouldn't be gone long, Shuichi heads out the door on his own. His destination? The fantasia dome.]
[Except...he never actually makes it there. Hell, he never even makes it off of their floor, thanks to a certain text message. He said he didn't want to know who Kaede shared her dream fantasy with, but apparently fate had other plans. Because he's finding out anyway.]
[And after one very emotionally turbulent conversation that took just about as long as it would for him to do a preliminary tree investigation, Shuichi is returning to his room. He opens the door and approaches the bed quietly, making sure not to turn on the lights if Kaede has them turned off. He's going to have to wake her, but...you know, he can be polite about it.]
[You still sleeping, girlfriend? Do you mind if he just...sits on the edge of the bed?]
