just hear me out

chapter four: the excellence of misfortune

"Last question," Daichi yawns as Sugawara pats the bed beside him. "What is something about you that would surprise me?" Sugawara shrugs at first before speaking. "That my past was shit and I'm here only because of my past actions in saving up." He shrugged, his head collapsing to Daichi's shoulder as he yawned.

"Moving on," Sugawara chuckled tiredly, eyes struggling to stay open. "Are you one to steal the covers?"

"No, are you?"

"Sometimes."

Before Daichi can say another word, Sugawara shifts to lay under the covers against his bed before looking up at Daichi. "It's almost five, we should get at least a few hours of sleep before Asahi decides its wake up time." Sugawara watched Daichi lift the covers, then he laid under them. Sugawara clearly hesitated before Daichi opened an arm and allowed him to lay against his chest, in which Sugawara did so.

"This is a one time thing," Sugawara yawned. "I still hate your guts."

"And I hate yours too." Daichi wrapped his arm around Sugawara's shoulders, pulling him in close.

Within mere moments of silence covering them like the blankets did, and Daichi holding Sugawara close, the pair were asleep and even though it was a one time thing, Daichi had never held anyone tighter, and Sugawara had never liked it more.

"You two, up now," Asahi's chuckle wasn't mistaken as Sugawara groaned and shifted to hide in Daichi's chest. "I don't have any classes today." His voice was raspy, an indication that he had only just gotten up. "But it's midday."

Daichi only groaned in response, palms pressed into his eyelids, before a hand collapsed around Sugawara again. "While I'm finding this sight adorable, you two need to get up."

"Who cares if it's midday?" Sugawara groaned. "I have no classes today, so I can sleep in," The male yawned. "And that's exactly what I'm doing."

"Daichi."

"I don't have any either, Asahi, or I wouldn't have come over."

"Fine. You two can sleep. But I have a class soon, so I need to get going, I'll lock the door!"

"Mhm." Sugawara shifted as Daichi hugged him closer. "Remember, one time thing." Daichi kissed his head as he spoke.

"Stop kissing me, you barely know me."

"Mysterious boy, I like that."

"Shut the fuck up."

"I'm completely wounded." Daichi stared at the ceiling, Sugawa shifted further under the covers. "I don't care," He managed a chuckle as Daichi's hand entered his hair. "I'm sleeping."

That was before his phone went off, he groaned and rolled over, answering it. "Hello?"

'Morning, sleepyhead.'

"What do you want, Oikawa?" Sugawara looked down as Daichi's hand trailed around his waist. Daichi's head falling against his shoulder as he prompted himself up against his elbow.

'Hurt-- But you never texted me last night, and Akaashi has a History class today, so I'm coming over.'

"Oh-" Suga's eyes widened, and Daichi shifted again.

'Is everything alright, Koushi?'

"Yeah! Perfect," He chuckled nervously. "But I need to shower before you get here, so I'm going to hang up and do that."

'But-'

"Bye! See you when you get here!"

The tone of a call ending was what Sugawara handed Oikawa, before removing Daichi's hand from around his waist and getting up.
