[Nobunaga gulps it down for practical purposes; it's a bitch to clean, and he is completely partial to the look on Klaus' face, deadset on memorizing it..]
[He is a million kinds of smug. So cocksure and proud arrogance. Sure, he's a demon king, and he can't even blame his soul's erosion on anything but himself, and maybe Kennyo (cult leader of the Ikkou Ikki) warned him exactly of that, but in moments like this, he can still do things right, in a way that defies religiosity, and is uniquely himself.]
I want you to sleep. I'm going to make you my toy later. Right now I'm proud of you, and just did what I wanted. [Leans up and kisses Klaus' forehead, getting up and deciding between bed and couch.] Have you sufficiently had your mind blown free from last night? [He might be getting the slang wrong. Whatever, he likes the pun!]
[There's a nod at that. That's fair. He's kind of tired anyway. Sleeping on the floor and being hungover is a real bitch, but at least he's...here. And Nobunaga is safe and alive.] Nothing to be proud of [A small murmur as they pull themselves off the floor and make the decision for the bed. He'll actually put his clothes on later, for right now, he is just gonna burrow under the covers.]
Oh yeah. Mind totally blown. Come here. [It's their turn to be bossy.] We're cuddling. [And that's the end of it.]
[Lion flomps next to them, half on top of the sheets, still naked and laying on his chest, one arm stretched over Klaus' shoulders.]
I know the ghosts mistook you for -- that other guy. [Great time to bring this up. Flawless, really.] But would you want your powers back here? Not that it's a simple matter of wanting it, but if they came back, would you hate it? [Buries his face on Klaus. So cute. Best tiger. Best friend. Good partner.] You don't have to answer right away.
[Klaus hums happily before scooching back as close as he can and pulling on Nobunaga’s arm to drag him closer at the same time. He’s been good enough for proper cuddles. And is much more tired than they expected.]
For Bash, yes. [A moment.] More under the covers, please. [Because if they’re talking about this, these are their terms. But the question is one he doesn’t entirely know how to handle. It’s just something. He misses them and doesn’t miss them at the same time. And he sincerely doubts the coming back to life stuff is something the Captain would allow. If he’s even the one controlling it.] I…don’t know. [It’s the honest answer anyway.] I don’t think they’d help me here? You can’t usually see the ghosts on the ship anyway. And we already come back after dying. Seems redundant, I guess. [They frown slightly] I wish I had something more useful, I guess. But then I’d have to relearn how to do stuff and that sounds terrible.
Yeah yeah, coffee date guy. Jeff's boyfriend. [Bash doesn't get a name from now on, oops. But Oda gets under the covers and snuggles.]
[A small laugh and he gently kisses Klaus' cheek.] Maybe you can learn things in a way that is less forced like your father's style. Something you can enjoy and be proud of.
[Nobunaga was originally going to try reading next to Klaus but damn he is SO comfy like this.]
Well, it's probably moot. You already know plenty of martial arts... you could probably teach me some things. And you should, actually. I guess if you get a chance, just seize it, and I'll help you become the best you you're ready for. [Snuggle, snuggle, falling asleep, snuggle.]
[Maybe it's not just lap pillows that do it, but being this comfortable and blissed out. He'll have to remember that.]

[His eyes slip closed as he leans against Nobunaga.] Mm. That could be okay. Maybe.
