- « From now on, we'll sleep on futons. »

- « The hell ? Where did my bed go ? »

- « It was too big, there weren't any room left for me. »

This was actually happening. Tsukishima was moving in.

The blonde knew that Yamaguchi felt guilty about ruining his apartment and was using it as an excuse to do pretty much anything he wanted. Tadashu tried many times to convince him the moving was a bad idea, but he just wouldn't listen.

- « Hey, Tsukishima, really, I mean it, you can't just move here.»

- « Why not? »

- « Because it's uncomfortable for me. »

- « But why? It's not like I'm a girl or anything. » he answered, amused. « Plus, since you don't really like me, you shouldn't worry. Just a act like I'm not here, okay? »

- « ... It's not like you're giving me any other choice.»

- « Yeah, also. They said my apartement will be ready in two weeks, you can live with me for two weeks right? Now if you don't have anything else to say, I'm going to sleep. Spending time with you is tiring really. »

And then he just lazily placed himself on the futon and fell asleep. How could he act so calm? Yamaguchi didn't understand what he was up to at all. They tried to fall asleep as well, but just couldn't with an almost stranger in the room.

It also turned out Tsukishima was a pain while sleeping.
Yamaguchi was confused, their futons were like 40 inches apart. How the hell had he ended up with his face on Yamaguchi's pillow? And as if this situation wasn't already flustering in itself, this was the first time they could see the blonde without glasses. It was distracting, to say the least.
They tried pushing him away multiple times but he was just too heavy and they eventually gave up.
As they were getting up to go and sleep on the couch, Tsukishima stopped them and wrapped his arms around their waist tightly.

"I love you so much, Little Bernie."

He was sleep talking.
... Little Bernie?

They did eventually manage to fall asleep in the other's arms, after quite a while of awkwardly trying to find the right position. This shoujo-like situation felt surreal.
Could they really go on like this?

- « What are you making? »

Yamaguchi's thoughts got interrupted once again by the shirtless man that had just entered their kitchen. Getting out of  THEIR room. Yamaguchi blushed, thinking about what this situation could easily be interpreted as.

- « Please get dressed. » Yamaguchi said, trying their best to stare at anything but the blonde.

- « Do you have a lunchbox for me too? » he asked.

- « No, why would I? »

- « Because I'm a sad sad, really really sad homeless boy. »

- « Fuck you. »

- « Hm, you wish. » Tsukishima answered without thinking. When he saw the look on Yamaguchi's face however, he startled and his ears turned a nice shade of pink.

Tadashi's brain was short circuiting.
Their face had turned almost humorously red and their thoughts in that specific moment were better not to be spoken of. They coughed, trying to act unbothered but failing quite miserably.

- « I'll make you a lunchbox if you tell me who's Little Bernie. » they said, changing the subject.

- « Wh- What? How do you know that name? »
