[He's immediately trying to yank the blanket back.]

No.

Stay on your side of the bed.

[alttitude]

[SOUSEI,,]

You took all the blankets!

[HE'S COLD TOO, BINCH]

[disilluded]

[Carefully, deliberately.

Sousei peels off one (1) blanket.

And chucks it at Jae-ha's face.]

[alttitude]

[FFFAS;LDKFJSD

he's going to take it

but keep complaining

scooting closer]

- you realize you're only going to get colder now.

[disilluded]

[Leans....away....]

I can handle it.

[Maybe.

It's fucking cold.]

[alttitude]

[ . . .

Doubt.

But also Jae-ha is going to take the blanket that was thrown at him and move to wrap it around Sousei's shoulders again.]

Can you.

[he doesn't even have it in him to change his intonation into a question]

[disilluded]

I do not like the doubt in your tone.

[But also like.

Why are you giving him back the blanket.]

What do you think you're doing? That is yours.

[alttitude]

My dragon's blood keeps me warm enough - and something tells me you'll be even moodier if you're freezing.

[a lie and a truth]

Though you know it would be better if we just shared.

[disilluded]

[Ick]

...

[It's because he doesn't believe Jae-ha about his blood keeping him warm when he walked into the room bundled up like that--and the fact that Jae-ha gave him the blanket as well that ultimately makes him sigh.

And.

He lifts up the end of the blanket, a grim look on his face.]

This is only because I do not believe you about your blood.

[alttitude]

[ . . . sure it was a flimsy lie but.]

Should I be happy to take what I can get?

[Though he will take that, easily slotting himself next to Sousei and taking that blanket end to wrap it around the both of them.]

[disilluded]

[A snort.

Sousei is just huddling deeper into the blankets.

And aggravatingly, it is warmer to be both huddled under the blankets.]

Just do not even think about it at all.

[Pretend it's not happening.

That's what he's doing.]

[alttitude]

[Jae-ha is content.

He's also going to push his luck and wrap an arm around Sousei because why wouldn't he.]

Why? Does it bother you to be so close to me?

[disilluded]

Yes.

[Sousei is trying to pry Jae-ha's arm off immediately. But he's trying to do so without disturbing the blanket so... ???

It's not working that well.]

It does. I'm not interested in being this close to you.

[alttitude]

[Sousei is trying so hard and Jae-ha is laughing because at this point it's more just fun to mess with Sousei—]

Why not? We could have fun like this.

[JAE-HA!!!]

[disilluded]

No.

[Oh...]

Why would I be interested in something like that?

[alttitude]

Because you need to learn what fun is and probably blow off some steam.

[this is his proposal]

It'd be warmer, too.

[THIS IS HIS PROPOSAL]

[disilluded]

[Um.

No.]

That is a terrible idea.

I am going to pretend as though you never suggested it so that I do not feel inclined to kick you off of the bed.

[alttitude]

[SIGHS.

He's going to just lean against Sousei anyway then, because he might as well get comfortable here since it's the warmest and most non-paranoid he's been all day.]

Really, why aren't you any fun at all?

[disilluded]

[you wouldn't like him if he gave in too easily anyway.

Though.

He will at least allow that much, because it really is warm.]

Why would I want to be "fun"? There are far more important things at stake here.

[alttitude]

[Valid.]

Really? Right now? Exactly at this moment when I walked in and found you shivering on the bed?

[disilluded]

Yes.

Shivering here is more important than doing anything like that with you.

[alttitude]

I don't know, it could be more enjoyable than you think -

[but fine fine, he'll lay off for a little bit since he thinks it's just making sousei pricklier]

But you could stand to loosen up a little. You know no one's going to murder you here.

[disilluded]

I'm not tense out of fear for my life.

[Everyone else's, maybe... but Sousei just sighs, eyes closing for a minute.]

They are distracting us. That is the point of situations like this. [With the cold.

And it's working, too.]

[alttitude]

[ . . . hm.]

Then - would you prefer we made an attempt at being productive? There's not even much to read here to pass the time.

[and he's an antsy dragon who doesn't like being unoccupied

he wants... a book... so badly]

[disilluded]

[God he'd also kill for a book. Horrible.

A book would be amazing.]

Admittedly I, too, would feel better with something to occupy myself with, but I'm aware it's a fool's errand to run around expending energy in the cold right now.
