Y/n slowly opened their eyes, their head throbbing in pain. They winced, lifting up their arm to rub their eyes which were slightly puffy. They stared at the ceiling for a while before their eyes eventually settled on Sabito's sleeping form. Y/n subconsciously smiled, turning on their side in order to filly admire their friend.

Hm, strange. "Friend" felt like a weird word to them. Was Sabito a friend? Surely he was, right? Well, perhaps more than that. A best friend, of course! But even that felt so....foreign.

Y/n's eyes slowly went over to their clock, seeing that they were, in fact, late to school by two hours. They felt the need to panic but since they were two damn hours late, they figured they might as well stay home. They slowly sat up, sighing. They felt so tired, so exhausted. And- fuck, everything was just so messy. All they wanted was to go to sleep and not have to worry about any of this bullshit. Alas, they were introduced to the reality of the world.

Y/n decided to forget about everything for a bit and got up, going to the kitchen to make something. Their stomach grumbled as they made their way through their home. Fortunately, their parents were at work, meaning they had the house to themselves for the time being.

Y/n grabbed a bowl, pulling a box of cereal as well and pouring a generous amount of cereal into their bowl before reaching for milk in the fridge. They proceeded to grab another bowl and make some cereal for Sabito as well. Once done, they grabbed the bowls and walked back to their room.

Sabito was now awake, staring at the ceiling as he still seemed a bit sleepy.
"Good morning," Y/n smiled, placing Sabito's bowl of cereal on their nightstand as they sat at the end of their bed with their own bowl.
"How'd you sleep?" Y/n asked.
"I should be asking you that." Sabito yawned, now sitting up.

"I slept well, here." Y/n said, handing Sabito his bowl.
Sabito thanked them and took the bowl. The pair ate in silence, also stealing glances once in a while unbeknownst to one another. Y/n had felt terrible ever since their breakup with Giyu but somehow, Sabito managed to make it all better. How did he do it? He was amazing, really.

After the pair finished their breakfast, they decided to laze around for the day and pulled up a movie. It was quite peaceful, so much so that Y/n had forgotten all about their headache earlier that morning.

Inbetween the movie, Y/n kept sneaking glances, merely staring at their friend. He was quite beautiful. Y/n stopped themself, why were they thinking that? They couldn't think that way, they were thinking about their friend for fuck's sake!

But perhaps, he was more than that? Y/n was merely in denial.
