The Moon's Redamancy In Fall [Tsukishima x Yamaguchi]

thirty-four.

Inspired by the song "Too Much To Ask" by The Arctic Monkeys.

❝Would it be outrageous to say, we're either shouting or we're shagging? Locked in tempestuous phase, at least that's how we felt yesterday. The eyes are getting heavier and whether you're asleep or awake is a mystery. Would a kiss be too much to ask?❞

Yamaguchi

Tsukki and I were outside Kaori-san's room as she was being treated by the nurses, they were cleaning her wounds and had given her pain killers, it was getting crowded inside so we let ourselves out for a while.

We sat by the hallway with Tsukki's head resting on the wall, his eyes closed and breathing even, I was standing in front of him, and suddenly I had the urge to ask him, "Are you tired?"

"Very fucking am," He mumbled, as he opened his other eye slightly to peep over me.

I sighed and beamed at him, as I paced towards him, I sat beside him and nudged my elbow, "You'll be fine," I nodded, humming to myself in approval.

Tsukki's face recoils into a smirk, but melting into a small smile before nodding back at me. We stayed like that for a few minutes, until Akiteru-san exited Kaori-san's room.

"Hey, you guys okay?" He asked.

I nodded with a smile, "Yes, Akiteru-san,"

Akiteru-san averted his eyes and scratched the back of his head, "Uh . . . Kei, I was wondering to ask you a favor . . ." He trailed, before smiling sheepishly towards Tsukki.

Tsukki raised an eyebrow at him, signaling him to continue as if he was too tired to even talk.

"Could you get mom her clothes? I'm sorry, I forgot last night!" Akiteru-san was quick to apologize, he knew Tsukki would make a rude and snarky remark after asking him a favor.

Tsukki rolled his eyes and grumbled under his breath, "Damn, you only had one job," He sighed.

Akiteru-san placed a hand on his waist and his face recoiling into a mocking surprise, "Tsukishima Kei, I raised you with mom!" He pointed a finger at him and pouted.

Tsukki had a bored expression, "I didn't ask to be born," He deadpanned.

I mentally giggled by their light bickering.

Akiteru-san lets out an exasperated sigh, "Oh, come on! You're so emo about everything, just move your ass and I'll pay you,"

Tsukki looked up to mock as if he was thinking about it, "Only if I get paid," He shrugged his shoulder.

"Yes, oh my god, I will!" Akiteru-san was clearly annoyed by Tsukki. It's nothing new.

I snap back in realization, "Oh yeah, I could come with Tsukki so I'll be on my way home, too," I nodded, smiling.

Akiteru-san snapped his fingers, "Oh yeah! I completely forgot you had to go home, god. I also left your mom a message that you're here with us, so you don't have to worry," He smiled, patting my shoulder.

I sighed in relief, "That's very thoughtful, Akiteru-san, thank you," I bowed my head in a slight manner in appreciation, as he happily obliged.

Tsukki and I stood up after Akiteru-san and I exchanged goodbyes, I promised him to be back in a day or two to visit Kaori-san.
