bloodsong1"Saiai. Wake up."
"Hmmm?" Windsong blinked her eyes open. She was snuggled against Kenji on a plane.
"We've landed, Song. Time to get up."
"Bugger." Kenji chuckled. Song sat up, stretched and stood. Planes were not comfortable to sleep in. Kenji collected their backpacks and cheerfully nudged her through the tunnel and into the terminal. Song yawned as a young man put a lei around her neck. "Huh?" She blinked a few times. "Where are we?"
"Hawaii." Kenji took her arm. Song peered at him. He was also sporting a lei. "It's five am, local time."
"And they're passing out leis at this hour?"
"It's tradition." Kenji grinned, apparently enjoying her jet lag-induced confusion.
"Why are we here?"
"To meet your parents. They're flying in tomorrow morning. Today is just for us."
"Good. Take me to bed." Kenji blushed slightly at the knowing chuckles. Song blinked. She was doing that a lot.
"You can sleep as much as you like when we get to the hotel. Come on, saiai. I need your help getting the luggage."
"All right." Song grumbled a little as they found the pickup station, claimed their bags and headed out of the terminal. The sun was just peeking over the ocean. The couple found a taxi and rode to their hotel. Song fell asleep in the cab and had to be prodded awake again. Kenji endured her fatigue with a smile and a shrug. Once they got into their hotel room, Song literally dived into the bed.
"Aaahhh. Horizontal is good." Kenji laughed as she promptly fell asleep.
"My poor saiai. What will you say when I ask you?"
"Hmmm?" Windsong blinked her eyes open. She was snuggled against Kenji on a plane.
