Chapter 23: Cuddles

=Rainbow Academy: Classroom=

/Vincent's POV/

"I want to cuddle someone today..." I thought, drawing doodles into a spare notebook

"Mr. Lee?"

"Mr. Lee?"

"Hey, Vincent, Mr. Kim's calling you" Sunny whispered, nudging my shoulder as I snap out of my trance

"Oh, yes, sir?" I answered

"Please pay attention to class, Mr. Lee" Mr. Kim said as I just nod before doodling again

"What's wrong, Vince? It's not like you to not pay attention and just zone out" Sunny asked

"It's nothing, don't worry about it" I assured

"If you say so..." Sunny answered before turning back to pay attention to our lesson

-Time Skip: After Class-

I was walking down the halls aimlessly, feeling down because I don't have the courage to ask anyone to cuddle with me

Since I was looking down and not where I'm walking, I bumped into someone, bracing myself for the impact but it never came

"Hey, Vincent, you alright?" A familiar voice asked as a pair of arms pulled me up to stand upright

"Y-yeah, I'm fine, thanks Tatsuya" I answered softly

"Oh, right, Sunny came up to me a while ago, telling me that you were zoning out and mumbling how you want to cuddle someone" Tatsuya suddenly stated

"Wait, I did that?" I asked, baffled

"Apparently, she heard you saying it so still want to cuddle?" Tatsuya queried

"You'll cuddle with me?" I asked

"Yep, let's go?" Tatsuya answered as I nodded eagerly and pulled him to my dorm

=Vincent's Dorm=

"Are you sure it's fine? You don't have to push yourself to cuddle with me" I said, taking a couple clothes to change into

"Its fine, Vincent, your my other end anyways so what's the harm?" Tatsuya answered as I smiled to myself

"Thanks Tatsuya, you don't know how much that means to me" I said before entering my bathroom and changing out my uniform and into comfortable clothes

Once changed, I exited the bathroom and looked at my other end who was already making himself comfortable in my bed

"Come here" Tatsuya beckoned, opening his arms for me

I got in the bed and laid my body beside Tatsuya's with my head resting on his chest comfortably as his hands wrapped itself around my upper body

"Is this alright with you?" Tatsuya asked as I just hummed, closing my eyes as I started dozing off

"So warm..." I thought

"You should sleep now, Vincent, you've had a long day of classes" Tatsuya said, softly caressing my hair which lulled me to sleep

"Goodnight, dearest other end" Tatsuya softly whispered before darkness overcame me

/Tatsuya's POV/

As Vincent fell asleep in my hold, I can't help but let a small smile show in my lips at how cute my other end looks like in my embrace. I then carefully reach over to the small lamp on his bedside table before turning it off, shifting a bit and then closing my eyes, waiting for sleep to take over me as well.
