Summary: The air was still, rarely did the paper wind chime hung outside the open rice paper door make a sound.

It was very hot.

Kenshin sat on the floor in the dojo, naked to the waist, his kimono folded down and over the back of his hakama. No matter what the season, he felt far more comfortable in traditional clothing if he spent a considerable amount of time outside the house. The air was still, rarely did the paper wind chime hung outside the open rice paper door make a sound.

Edward had trucked out from the main house, he rarely got dressed in this weather. He was sprawled out on his back on the floor, long blond hair in a loose ponytail, wearing a sleeveless shirt and his blue boxers. He had stopped wearing the compression shorts, and Kenshin’s eye was often drawn toward the gap in the boxers, quietly hoping to catch an eyeful.

“Are you sure meditation isn’t just another word for a nap?” It was the first words he had spoken in an hour, and Kenshin smiled. He had genuinely thought that Edward had gone to sleep, sprawled out so comfortably on the floor.

“Quite sure,” he murmured, hands on his knees and sitting on his feet.

“Because I really think you’re sleeping over there sitting up,” Edward opened his eyes lazily, and the wind chime made a soft sound. Edward caught Kenshin’s eye and he smiled.

“It’s too hot to sleep anyway,” Kenshin got up smoothly from his seated position, and Edward watched him as he moved over to where Edward was sprawled, before seating himself on the ground beside him.

Kenshin didn’t quite sprawl in the same way Edward did, all big and jungle-cat lazy, but he spread himself out, the floor cool on his naked skin. “If you’re that hot, we can always go back inside,” Edward suggested.

“Nah,” Kenshin said, and closed his eyes.
