Work Text:
Afternoon naps have become much more common for Rin ever since his more demonic features came in. Right about three in the afternoon, his eyelids get all droopy and he can barely keep his head up. Mephisto reasoned that it’s because he’s growing into his demonic powers, that and he has one extra limb to fuel.
Rin just took this new trait in stride. Not much he can do about it anyways. Besides, who would say no to a well deserved nap? Maybe Yukio, but definitely not him!
So from three to four, he takes his daily naps. Now this all sounds like a pleasant new addition to his schedule right?
Wrong! Unfortunately, very very wrong.
The problem is, nothing can wake him up! And that's a bad thing when someone, namely Yukio, needs Rin for something.
Doesn't matter if he gets smacked around, a loud noise goes off near his sensitive ears, or you pull at his tail: the most anyone will get out of him is a quick glare, a swat of his hand or tail, before he's back to snoring.
Usually that is.
Adrenaline fills his veins in an instant and he feels his body tense up. Wake up, wake up! His sense scream and scratch at the inside of his skull.
What could cause such a reaction when he was sleeping? Was the dorm on fire? Did a really mega ultra powerful demon show up?
Rin's eyes shot wide open, being immediately met with what his instincts had been warning him about.
Maybe he was still dreaming? Yeah, that has to be right, because there's no way you're leaning over him right now! Forearms laid beside his head, caging him beneath you. You're close enough that every time he breathes your chests press against each other.
His eyes wander a bit, down to where you're sat on the edge of the bed. Okay so you're not straddling him (thank god because he wouldn't know what to do with himself) You're just leaning over him, gaze boring into his.
“Howdy.” You smile gentle, breath warming his face as you speak and he flushes. Look, he knew you were close before, but he hadn't realized you were this close.
Rin watches as your eyes slightly narrow, feel as they scrutinize each and every feature that makes up his face as if he were food on a plate, waiting to be devoured at a moment's notice.
All the poor boy (the literal son of satan) can do is tremble beneath your gaze. Whether it's from shock or excitement, or both, he hasn't decided yet.
“Came to drop somethin’ off for ole pinprick.” You nod your head in the direction of the desks that sit below the windows of the room.
Rin can't exactly make out whatever it is, not wanting to have the scene of you above him out of his sight for longer than a second, but he's able to see the vague shape of some bag sat atop Yukio’s desk.
Not like you give him the chance to turn his attention elsewhere, somehow leaning in ever closer to the half demon.
Oh god, oh god, oh god! You're making his already heightened senses go into overdrive! Do you know what you're doing to him?!
“And why are you hovering over me?!” Rin squeals in a much higher pitch than he intended, but you don't seem to be the least bit concerned about it, or anything else for that matter.
Instead, you're focused on fulfilling whatever task you have right now: nails raking over his shirt as your hand gingerly slides under the his collar, coming to hold his exposed neck in your palm.
If that wasn't enough, you then proceed to press your forehead to his, not caring for the furious blush that overtakes his face.
Holy shit. This is really happening! Rin can barely contain himself. His heart’s beating in his ears, his chest is all tight from holding his breath this whole time (since when did do that), his palms feel sweaty yet they ache to hold you, and he's starting to feel an ache in his tail from how hard it’s been beating against the mattress.
“You were looking a little too hot over here.” You say as if you were reciting today's weather forecast like some news anchor.
Ah yes, today we'll have a bright sunny day as the heavens decided it fit to bless the son of satan with the happiest day of his life! Back to you John-
“What?!” Rin's shout was definitely loud since he saw you wince a little at the sound of it, but it's not his fault! How else was he supposed to react when the hottie of his dreams says something like that to him?!
A second later, a small amused smirk stretches itself across your lips, lips he really wishes were pressed against his right now.
That bit of wanting a little for wish fulfillment aside, you cock your head slightly, pulling back ever so slightly as you took in his rather... jumpy reaction.
“I mean that ya' looked sick. Under the weather?” Your tone was like that of a teacher's, understanding exactly where he went wrong, knowing how to clarify his misunderstanding.
“Oh yeah, right!" Rin rolls his eyes, puffing air through his nose like he hadn't just got caught red-handed. "That’s totally what you meant… ”
Fuck, fuck, fuck! Why did he have to go and embarrass himself like that?! Of course you meant he looked sick! Why would he think otherwise? You were just being a nice caring friend to him! Nothing more!
Rin quickly covers his face with one of his hands, trying to look anywhere but at you, a task he’s findings impossible when you start to laugh at his sorry state.
Pulling back, you remove the hand you had on his neck (much to his dismay) struggling to sit up straight as you began to wipe away the tears starting to gather in the corners of your eyes.
Normally, he'd just be happy that he got you to laugh, even at his own detriment. Not this time though, poor sorry little Rin (again, the literal son of satan) actually got his hopes up!
“Yeah yeah, go on and laugh at poor old Rin!” He pouts, choosing now to finally sit up, crossing his arms and puffing out his cheeks much like a toddler would. “Can’t blame a guy getting nervous when he wakes up to a literal 10/10 leaning over him.”
" 'm sorry." You managed to sputter between the fits of laughter you were trying, and failing, to conceal. "If there's any solace, you looked plenty hot already."
Rin's ears perk up at this. He closes one eye and allows the other the peek over at you. You thought he looked hot already, you say?
It's then you decide to pinch the loose fabric of his shirt, playing with the open buttons just under his collar, fingers just barely brushing against the skin of his chest.
"Had your shirt up to your waist, couple buttons undone." You pause, smile still as clear as day. "You even kicked off all the covers, made your pants fall down in a way that a lot of skin was showing... "
That emphasis on skin, you didn't just mean skin did you?! What else did you see?
Last time he checked, his crouch was still covered, or were you talking about his happy trail? Or maybe his v line? He has been working out more these past few weeks and-
"Must've been real hot in here for you to do all that." The look on your face, the shit eating grin, you were enjoying teasing him, enjoying his absolute torment right now! And you got him not once, but twice!
Twice!
God, he's such an idiot!
Rin snatches your wrist, holding it in place as he tears it away from his shirt.
“You can stop teasing me now!” Seriously, was this your side hobby or something? You're too good at this, looking all cute, using your words to make him feel all flustered.
And there you go again, putting on a show by pouting and doing the best rendition of puppy dog eyes he's ever seen in his life!
"That's no fair! You look too cute when you blush..."
Rin shakes his head. Uh uh. He's not falling for your tricks this time. He glowers, furrowing his brows as he looks at you.
"I'm not going to let you go me three times!"
"But I'm being serious Rin!" You pull your wrist from his grasp so you can throw your arms around his shoulders.
Rin tenses the moment he feels your arms wrap around his neck, shivers when he feels your nails scratch at the nape of his neck. You know just how to get him all nervous with a couple of simple touches.
Now he's questioning whether or not you're some type of lust demon! Maybe be should confirm with Mephisto later...
You lean into him again, pressing your weight into the half demon, causing him to fall back into his forearms. You follow him, chest didn't pressed against his, eyes focused on his lips that are barely an inch away from yours.
"You're just so cute, ya'know." Rin watches as your tongue peeks out and quickly swipes across your lips.
You bring one of your hands back, using your thumb to tug at his bottom lip.
"All blushy, jaw dropped, your little fangs on display." You hum, eyes slowly trailing up to meet his. The moment they do, his heart stops for a second.
This has got to be another trick! There's no way you're this into him. (Though you're welcome to prove him wrong however you like-)
"Then I see that wispy tail wagging and I know you’re having a good time." You pause, voice dropping the slightest bit lower as you lean over to whisper in his pointed ear.
"Makes you look so cute that I have to tease you."
"S-so you're just teasing me again!" Rin sputters, face hot in embarrassment as begin to cackle, fully falling atop the hald demon as you let your laughter take over.
He can't believe you got him a third time in a row! Seriously, your skills are way too good! But some of what you said had to be true, right? You couldn't make up all of what you said on the spot...
Or is that just wishful thinking talking? Jesus, he doesn't know what to do with himself. Rin has half the mind to shove you off him from provoking him so much, but, at the same time, he's relishing in the time you're sharing, how close you are to him right now.
So he decides to leave you be. Better to let whatever's going on sizzle out than to somehow make an even bigger fool of himself.
Eventually, you stop your villainous laughter and raise up off the boy who you've been playing with. Rin won't look you in the eye, but you don't care, bringing a hand up to ruffle his hair.
“I do think you’re really cute though.” You stand from the bed, dusting yourself off as you pull your phone out of your pocket.
Ah, you should start heading back before your roommate starts worrying about where you are.
“See you Monday Rin.” You pass him a light smile even though he can't see it as you walk out the door. "Let's play s'more, kay?"
Rin is left dumbfounded. All he can do is sit there and watch as you leave his sight. It's only several minutes later does his demon brain finally process parting words you had left him with.
You actually thought he was cute! Him specifically, Rin Okumura himself, cute! It's not hot, which he would’ve preferred, but cute!
That's still something in his book! Better than nothing anyway.
But Rin’s dumbass took too long to realize that fact! Now he has to wait till Monday to ask what you to spell it out for him!
