[Akihiko was having a weird time long before he woke up.
His dreams, for starters, were determined to be weird. He found himself back on the BEASTFORCE obstacle course from before. Still climbing it with Mitsuru, reaching the summit of the artificial mountain and getting ready to hit the last checkpoint button...
...Except he suddenly wasn't able to do that. Because something much more important had come up, when he saw that Mitsuru's hair was tangled from the climb with a few bets of glitter and fake snow stuck to it. And somehow, according to his dream logic, it was way more important that he help her comb out her hair, even if he just had to gently work it with his fingers-]
"WhMits-???"
[It's almost a relief that he wakes up from that. And doesn't have to dwell on that weird dream any longer.
...Almost. Until he feels something warm curled up against him, draped over his body, and pinning him in place. That's when Akihiko wonders if he should take a closer look, or just hope that he suddenly slips straight back into sleep. Because he already has a notion of what he's dealing with... And why he was dreaming what he did.]
