I sat in front of my window and my chin slumped down by the wooden ledge, watching the autumn leaves fall down the tree by the front. No matter the wintry window frame, my room was ever-warm. Nearby my bedroom window were the tips of trees, a way to watch the seasons change in real time.

From the bare wands of the wintry days, to the promise of spring buds and green leaves of the summertime awaiting their golden days. The rest of the room was simply the room, pretty though it was. That world beyond was everything to me and I breathed alongside Tsukki of root and branch.

I wonder if Tsukki's still coming over. I've been checking the time and it's almost past midnight. I sighed and dragged my feet over the carpeted floor to sit down on my bed, turning my night lamp off and tucking myself in the bed. I guess he won't be coming tonight.

Screwing my eyes shut, I tried my best to fall asleep, but it seem like I wouldn't be able to sleep too quick. I faced my ceiling, laying down by my back and stared at the empty wall, maybe I should bring the glow-in-the-dark stickers back. I kind of missed it.

The comforter was thick and irresistibly soft, like a billowing cloud underneath my skin. I toppled into it, relieved to rest my weary feet. Warmth and darkness enveloped me, I soon succumbed to the call of sleep  when it was all taken away in one snap making my eyes flutter open by the sudden tapping sounds occupying the growing silence of my room. I jolt up from my bed, making it creak softly under as I quietly observed the window.

My eyes widened immediately when I realized that it was Tsukki, I quickly jumped out of bed, striding my way to the window to open it, as soon as I did, Tsukki curled his knees up to his chest to fit in the window, stumbling over the floor, I watched him, almost shocked, the sleep still remaining in me.

"Tsukki!" I said half whispering and half panicking, he sat down on the floor and his smile was crooked and cheeks flushed in red.

I crouched to see his face better, reaching over the lamp on my desk to turn the lights on, as soon as I moved closer to Tsukki, a strong stench of alcohol invaded my nostrils making me grimace, "Tsukki, have you been drinking?"

Tsukki hiccupped for a few times as his smile grew into a grin, "A little bit," He tried his best not to slur his words, "Saeko-san came over a while ago because Akiteru-san introduced her to mom and Akihiro," Tsukki explained, shifting on the floor.

I watched his face twist in uncontrollable grins, making me bite my lower lip to prevent me from laughing, "Akiteru-san and Tanaka-san's sister?" I said, grinning.

He rubbed his eyes before running his fingers over his hair before shrugging his shoulders, "Akiteru has good taste for girls," Tsukki rolled his bloodshot eyes. I didn't know if he was being genuine or absolute sarcastic.

"You shouldn't have come, you're drunk," I said before standing up from crouching to sit on my bed, Tsukki's head was leaning against the wall as he slouched down the floor.

Reaching for something inside his pockets, he ignored my comment by bringing out a red box of . . . fries? The box was already crumpled and wrinkled, but he handed it to me anyways, "If I tell you I'm bringing fries, I'm bringing fries," Tsukki mumbled.

The fries were already cold and soggy, but I took one and popped it in my mouth, "Thanks," I nodded, I chewed on the fries slowly as Tsukki glanced around the room before standing up.
