damned_institute | Nightshift 22: M21

Xemnas' plan to get information from his roommate turned out to be a failure, as his roommate didn't even show up. Instead, he decided to gather information by investigating the room he was in. He had stumbled on various items which were quite out of place for an institute such as this. Journals and pens, he could understand. But a flashlight? Or a radio?

Xemnas suspected this institute wasn't as it seemed to be. It was rather unfortunate that none of his subordinates could explain the details before they were escorted back to their respective rooms. Xemnas had hoped he could receive information from his roommate, but that too had failed.

The Superior's suspicions were confirmed as soon as he heard the announcement over the intercom. The way this man spoke was quite enough to confirm anything. A complete contrast from the announcements during the day. Such a happy facade they held up, but for who?

He noted the hallway was completely shrouded in darkness. Surely, other doors must've been unlocked as well, but he didn't hear a sound. Not even footsteps. Just his own breathing.

Confirming there weren't any direct threats, Xemnas carefully stepped out in the hallway, closing the door quietly behind him.

Ed sighed, dropping his arm to the side and effectively giving up. "I'm fine," he said, voice slightly strained. "And Adel is breathing just fine." Right into Ed's ear, in fact, which he wasn't exactly happy about. "He's just asleep." Why now? Why here in this ridiculous position?

Another yelp, which Ed would deny had ever happened, escaped him when Adel's arm wrapped around Ed's body, pulling him closer and tightening to make escape even less possible. He growled and tugged at the offending appendage, trying to get Adel to release him, but to no avail.

"Oh dear..." Tamaki ran a hand through his hair. "Ed-kun, I can't move him!" He didn't know what to do. Adel was too heavy for him, and now he was...er...clinging to Ed and even if Tamaki was able to pull the taller of the two off the bed, the shorter would be pulled off as well!

"I'm sorry. I don't know what else to do." He frowned. "Adel-kun has been pushing himself... his body probably decided it couldn't take any more." Sighing, Tamaki crawled onto the bed, wondering if he could at least help get Adel o let go of Ed.

"Maybe I can at least...er... get him to stop squeezing you..." He tugged at Adel's arm, holding his lower lip tightly between his teeth as he concentrated.

The tugging only made Adelheid hold on more tightly, possessively, and even in sleep his emotional exhaustion made the desperation clear in his voice and expression. "I won't let them take you away from me...!"

His voice was a low, harsh growl, his memories working even through his weakness, and he shifted a little, as though to protect Edward from Tamaki. Even unconsciously, he was instinctively protective of his little sister.

Thankfully, this at least got some of Adel's weight off of Edward's chest. Even though Adel was still probably not going to go anywhere anytime soon.

Ed was seriously beginning to consider just hitting Adel around the head. If Tamaki would just grab that spear for him...

No, grevious bodily harm was probably not a good idea, even because of this, although Adel being clingy was a rather worrying state of affairs. It seemed inherently wrong, especially considering Adel's raction to Ed and Tamaki kissing earlier.

FInall, he slumped back with a defeated sigh, relieved that Adel was partly off his chest at least. Might as well get some sleep orsomething since he doubted he'd be moving anytime soon.

"I think it's a lost cause, Tamaki," he grumbled, trying to straighten his legs a little more and move into a more comfortable position. "If he's not gonna' move, then I'm going back to sleep."

"Sleep would probably be a good idea," Tamaki agreed. "I am tired." He pursed his lips and shook his head. Adel would be rather upset if he remembered this, he was certain. But... well, for now Adel was sound alseep and Tamaki was tired and always sought comfort.

"Goodnight, Ed-kun," Tamaki said, curling up on the bed next to his two friends. Quickly and somewhat sheepishly, he leaned forward and kissed Ed on the cheek, before settling in with a yawn.

As soon as the struggling stopped, Adelheid relaxed again and that small yet happy grin again appeared on his face. Despite all of his flailing, Adel liked this situation, though he would never admit it.

At the feel of a body against his arm, there was a moment of confusion, as that didn't fit into the dream at all... but then Adelheid just took one of Tamaki's arms and flung it around Adel's own shoulders, so that he could snuggle into the warmth- almost as though Tamaki was more a blanket than a person. But regardless, he was comfortable and content, and soon completely still as he drifted off into genuine sleep.
