"Well then...How about spin the bottle?"

"No"

"Come on! It'll be fun!"

"No, Tendou-san. Whenever you say something will be fun it usually means you will get to enjoy us making fools of ourselves"

"In my defence, I never said fun for all of us"

"He got you there, Shirabu"

"Shut up Semi-scum"

"Ouch. You're getting cranky. You should sleep"

"...it's literally 8 in the morning this is around the time I wake up"

"True but still sleep"

"I'd rather play spin the bottle than sleep"

"Then...play"

"Okay then" Shirabu huffed and spun the bottle Tendou had presented him with. Just my luck, it landed on me.

"Pffft" Tendou snorted beside us, turning his head away from the circle and putting a fist of to his mouth to try to stifle his laugh.

Shirabu didn't hesitate at all to walk over to me from the opposite side of the circle and sit in my lap. I'd never seen him be more confident with anything but the fact we'd already kissed before probably contributed to this.

He snaked his arm around my neck, playing with my hair a little. He looked up to it and then back to my eyes, smiling a little. Before I had the chance to return it, his lips attacked mine. This one was slightly more aggressive than the first one so it made me fall back a bit but I caught myself, putting my arms back into the floor. He broke away from me and walked back to his spot.

"Thanks for being my second" he smirked and sat down.

"Thank YOU for being my second as well"

"Who was your first then?" Ushijima eyed us both.

"Shirabu"
"Semi"

Tendou was being awfully quiet. Until he wasn't.

"Pffft so you've kissed before? When? Was it when you two ran off? Or was it when you were down by the lake a few days ago? Or when you spent time together all week? Or maybe-"

"Tendou-san... stop. Yes we've kissed before. Don't be so surprised"

"Okay. Up you get, both of you." He took us both by the arms and basically pulled us up, after which opening the door and practically tossing us out. "You're not aloud to come back in until you're boyfriends." He closed the door with nothing else to be said.

"Wanna take a walk?"

"If Leon-san sees us he'll kill you and me and I'd quite like to live to see my graduation day thanks..."

"Shirabu don't avoid it. I think we really do need to talk about this."

"Fine. Then talk"

"Okay. I haven't been able to stop thinking about you all week ever since we were at IKEA the first time. I loved spending all week teaching you how to skateboard and watching you fall on your face. Only kidding I was actually really worried the one time you fell really bad but anyway that's off topic. Point is, I really like you Shirabu. That's the feeling that I couldn't explain. It's love. It's love and I think I can't do anything about it except pray you feel the same-"

I was cut off by the younger stopping us in our tracks and pecking me on the lips.

"I feel it too"

"What do you want to do about it then?"

"I... I don't know. I'm not good with emotions"

"Me neither to be honest. Let me take you on a date"

"Really?"

"Yeah. Let's go on a picnic or something. But first, let's sleep. You can sleep in my bed if you want."

"Only if you sleep there too"

"...fine" we walked back, hand in hand and knocked for Tendou to let us back in. After telling him the current situation, he wasn't entirely pleased but let us in anyway since Shirabu was just about to pass out from sleeplessness.

We got into my bed and I pulled the covers over us. I hadn't realised until now but I was really really cold; probably because I didn't sleep for around a whole day now.

"Want to... cuddle?" Shirabu was cautious with his words but I could feel the smile through his words.

"Of course" I shuffled closer to him and wrapped my arms around his small waist. He shuffled back a bit too and into my chest, before turning to face me, though he just nuzzled his face into my shirt.

"Goodnight semi"

"Night Kenji-chan"

"Ei! What was that" he pulled away to look me in the eye.

"I said what I said."

He laughed at my words and put his face to my chest once again, falling asleep mere moments later. He must have been really tired.

—time skip—

I woke up and looked around. It was dark in my room as can be expected. We fell asleep at around 9am so we were bound to wake up at an awkward time. 11.29pm... great.

We'd slept a solid 14 hours. That's a bit scary but I pushed the thought aside and looked to the spot beside me which was missing a certain uneven-haired boy. He'd probably gotten bored and left. I huffed in annoyance. I decided not to dwell on it and instead go to the bathroom. As I exited, I heard a sound coming from the kitchen. I thought one of the boys may still be awake so I decided to see who it is.

As I rounded the corner, it turned out to be none other than the short copper haired boy who I had been looking for.

"You're up?"

"Yeah... I just woke up...what are you doin?"

"Well I woke up an hour ago and you were stirring so I thought you might wake up soon too so I wanted to make you some food."

"What's wrong? Do you have a fever?"

"Uh- Semi... waah?"

"You're being too caring. It's scaring me"

"Would you prefer I throw these waffles into your face?"

"No no I just... thank you"
I smiled at his little pout.

"You better be thankful I burned my finger trying to make these" I laughed but he didn't seem to be kidding, he held up a bandaged finger to face and now he was the one laughing.

"What so you didn't burn it...? Is this a prank?"

"Oh no I very much did but your face..." be burst out laughing again. I rolled my eyes and kissed him which shut him right up.

"What was that for"

"A thank you"

"You're welcome" he tilted his head a little and put down the food. He took one of the 5 waffles he made for himself and put the rest in front of me.

"So about that date..."

"Yeah?"

"You feeling up to it? What with your burned finger and all"

"Semi... I burned my finger I didn't get impaled in the heart with a stake. I'm fine"

"Just making sure... so tomorrow sound good?" I looked at the clock on the wall which read 12.01am "or well today"

"Sure. I'm not particularly tired right now but we could try sleeping again"

"Shwuree" I tried to say but my mouth was full waffles. He watched me ain amusement and he nibbled on his waffle, as I devoured all 4 of mine.

We decided on going back to sleep since no one was awake at all and we didn't have anything better to do than cuddle and nap.
