[Souji lets out a small squeak of surprise as he's pulled sideways onto the futon, strong arms manhandling his body as easy as if he'd been in his sword form right now. Then he allows a warm laugh to pour from his lips, just a little bit frayed and fraught, as his own eyes suddenly sting with tears he can't explain. It's pretty silly, isn't it, to feel like crying right now? Hijikata's tears have run out, he looks relaxed now, not happy as such but... better. There's nothing to cry about, and so Souji blinks until the burning stops, squirming around a bit for a more comfortable position.
This has to be okay, right? He knows he absolutely can't leave Hijikata now, not when he's finally found some peace, and so staying here is the right thing to do. Even if it is... well, in his bed. He's just going to have to not think about that.
Sinking down against Hijikata's broad chest, he gently wipes the moisture of tears from his cheeks with gentle fingers, brushes his hair into some kind of order. There, much better.]
Sleep. I'll be right here. [One last assurance for tonight. Hijikata seems like he's half asleep already, but Souji would like to think that he can take that one with him into his dreams.
Then, before he can talk himself out of it, he leans up and in and presses a small, chaste kiss to Hijikata's cheek, before lying down properly next to him. He can take that one with him too.]
