With a small sigh, Eiji carefully shifted his body around so he could lower Emi back down to his bed, one arm around his back and the other cradling his head. Even if it felt like he'd accidentally shake the blond awake at any moment, he managed to gently lay him down.
Though... he wasn't entirely sure why, but Eiji lingered there for a moment longer, leaning over the other boy. There was so much about this picture that wasn't right - there was sno much he didn't have the power to fix. He hadn't meant for it to be this way.
Hesitant, urged only by the fact that Emi was unconscious, Eiji's hand hovered over Emi's face indecisively. It was a stupid little sentiment. Even considering it felt like a shameful secret. But this, at least, was one small, simple thing he could set right for the time being.
He let his fingers brush back Emi's frumpled, unstyled bedhead - just a little, and carefully, as not to irritate his injuries - until it resembled his old self a little more.
That done, Eiji rose up to collect the dishes, leaving Emi to his rest.]
