Work Text:
You and Kamishiro Rui had been together for less than one day. Everything had gone by in a heartbeat; from hours of hanging out, his gentle nature, your inside jokes, and his confession. Although you two had had a couple of sleepovers, today was different. You were in Rui’s messy room, full of new, broken, and unfinished handmade projects. The two of you were sleeping beside each other. Rui quite literally bought a bed in his room just for you, as it made him sad to even imagine you sleeping on the floor while he was on the springy couch. The couch was honestly more comfortable than his new bed, but whatever. You had also woken up before him, and you couldn’t tell him it was a bit irritating to sleep there.
It’s literally 8 AM, I can’t force him awake, you thought to yourself. You tried to get up, but you noticed Rui was hugging your right arm in his sleep. Wait. Was he seriously hugging your arm? The thought of that made you want to giggle, but again, you didn’t want to wake him up. You examined his room carefully, because what else could you do? It was already too late to go back to bed. You always wondered about the party decorations in his room, like the banners and the balloons floating above his ceiling. In the corner of his room near his desk, there was the platypus plush you had given him for his birthday. It always fascinated you how he kept every gift and trinket.
Rui, still unconscious, shifted, and his arms moved away from yours. Now, you could get out of bed. The thought of lying down for too long was already giving you a headache. You stepped out of bed and reached for his door. Knowing him, he probably wouldn’t wake up for another hour or so. The hangouts with you two helped you memorize his home’s layout, so you practically made a beeline for the kitchen.
I can’t even shower right now, I literally forgot to pack clothes, you thought. In the cabinets and the fridge, there were no snacks that you liked. With a sigh, you returned to his room and sat at his desk. Your phone hadn’t been turned on since last afternoon. You picked it up and checked your messages. There was one from Otori Emu.
8:26 AM
Emu Otori
Hi, Y/N! I heard you and Rui were together, and I just wanted to
congratulate you! I always thought you two would look great as a
couple. Sorry if this woke you up! Also, how are you doing?
Y/N
Good morning, Emu! I’m doing great! Thank you so much for this
message! I really appreciate it. I’m sorry I didn’t respond. Rui and I
were bonding last night. What about you? How are you doing?
Emu Otori
I always do great when I talk to my best friends! Oh no! I have to
get going to breakfast with Nene. I’ll message you when I have free
time. See you!
With another sigh, you set your phone down. It felt wrong to be looking through Rui's belongings anyway. Well, there was no choice but to wait for Rui to wake up. Opening your social media apps was too risky, as your phone didn't have a Silent Mode to mute the keyboard noise. You walked over to Rui's bed and crawled into it, careful not to wake him up. While pulling the blanket closer to you, you realized how pretty he looked asleep. The thought of that reminded you of why you loved him so much. One thought led to another, and you fell asleep listening to his slow breathing.
