The bed felt like perfectly placed clouds on his side. The blanket covered his whole body excluding his shoulders and chest as well as everything above that. He finally fluttered his eyes open as the sun light seeped through his window after a relaxing stormy night. He closed his eyes again and shifted to the opposite side wanting nothing but darkness to take over again.

Glimpses of last night's memories came flooding back in. The center of attention in a yelling crowd; a wild case from the beasts that wanted to devour him whole; the unexpectedly man in shining armor who took him home and comforted him when no one else would.

A small smile appeared on his face, eyes still closed imagining them on the couch last night. His eyes widened as he jolted sitting up on his bed and looking around for any sign of him, none. He eased his tensed shoulders. He felt a sudden wave of guilt wash over him remembering he fell asleep on him and having him look for his room while he was stuck sleeping in his heavenly arms.

"Ugh, I feel bad now. He was so nice too.."

he lifted his hand up to his hair and ran his fingers through his hair sighing. The blanket slid down to his lap.

He looked towards his nightstand and saw a sticky note. It said: "here's my contact info just in case you wanna meet up or somethin. And don't worry about last night, it was fun spending time with you. :)
-Rantaro Amami
###-###-####"

He felt excitement and relief from the note knowing he'd see and talk to him again. He rubbed his face with his shirt feeling hot then unbuttoned them. He grabbed his phone and looked at all 70 messages and 17 calls all from kaede. He sighed then smiled and clicked on the messages. He read the first 5 then answered her.

Emo Detective: "you good?"

Piano Freak: "YOU LEFT WITHOUT TELLING ME?! I WAS WORRIED SICK!"

Emo Detective: "I'm sorry. I couldn't find you and I just wanted to get out of there."

Piano Freak: "psh, who took you home? I was your only ride."

Emo Detective: "this guy named Rantaro. After what happened he helped me out and took me home."

Piano Freak: "after what happened. I heard about it on Twitter. Are you okay? I wish I was there I'm really sorry :(  and Rantaro Amami? Really? Wow never thought a guy like him would help you out. I'm not trying to offend you but like.. ya know ._."

Emo Detective: "Wdym? And don't worry about it. I have to go now. Thanks for checking up on me ig"

Piano Freak: "NP! if you wanna hang or do something later today just call!"

Emo Detective: "ofc, thanks ^^"

He quickly checked Twitter and all the smack talk about him. He groaned checking all the horrid comments..
He sighed putting his phone down.

"Welp, there goes my reputation.."

he rolled his eyes then got up feeling dizzy. He stumbled a bit before stealing back his balance. He continued sliding his feet towards the kitchen and made himself a coffee and toasted a bagel. He hummed waiting for the bagel to pop out and for the coffee to brew.

He probably won't want to hang out with me anymore.. I can't pretend that shit didn't happen to me.

He scrunched his face before the smell of a toasted bagel ready to eat brought him back to reality. He walked towards the toaster and placed the bagel on a plate and grabbed his coffee and took it to the table to eat.

(Time skip🧍‍♀️)

Shuichi had already cleaned up but ever since this morning his head along with his body hurt and he just felt awful after last night parade. He walked back upstairs and got back in bed knowing he didn't have much to do that day other than stay in and just sleep. He yawned and fell asleep staying in bed for the rest of the day.

(I'm sorry for being gone for so long ;-;)
