Muichiro and Y/N had been laying in bed for what felt like centuries without getting a wink of sleep. They were on the same bed, but they had their backs turned at eachother, their eyes wide and dry and face covered in a deep red blush. They both ached for affection from eachother but wouldn't dare ask, so the scenarios they would make for what would happen between the two, if they actually had the courage to ask, were flooding both their sleep-deprived brains. The h/c male was assuming the other was asleep, so he went to check the time on his phone; 3:34 was written with big white letters on the screen. He sighed and turned around, only to be met by his friend's back, which was quite disappointing to him. Not like he couldn't determine the position the other boy had by the pressure put on the side of the bed and the curve it made to his weight, but it still kind of hurt. But just then, he noticed how stiff the other looked and how unstable his breathing was- definitely didn't look like a sleeping person, even if he was having a nightmare.

Y/N turned, his back now flat against the bed, one arm somewhat spread, his hand pararel to his cheek so he wouldn't get too warm. "You can't sleep either, can you ?" He mused sleepily, turning his face to look at his best friend, who turned to face him. "Yeah..." Muichiro said quietly; seemed like he was pretty tired as well after all. "I have trouble sleeping normally, because I get nightmares and flashbacks... So I wanted to ask a favour, if that's okay with you..." The long-haired boy half lied. He didn't lie about the nightmares and flashbacks, but he didn't mind sleeping through them, he was used to it by now. He just wanted cuddles, that was all about it, so he hoped Y/N would agree to his request. "Sure, what is it though ?" The e/c male answered positively before asking what the favour was, purely because of two reasons; 1, he had a soft spot for Muichiro anyway and 2, the other boy had done so much for him already that he couldn't deny any of his requests- it would go against his own morals.

"Uhm... Can we.. cuddle..?" The taller boy fidgeted with his own fingers shyly, avoiding the gaze of the male his body was facing. "Huh. Wait huh ? What ?" Y/N blinked a couple of times. He must've passed out a while ago, because this situation was next to a dream for him. "No way I'm awake right now I must've passed out. Hm." He thought out loud and faced the ceiling again. "L-look.. if you don't want to, that's fine..." The boy next to him spoke up again. "I don't mind, but can you pinch me real quick ?" He said rather seriously, so the sahhpire complied, giving the boy a painful pinch on the forearm. "Ouch, what the fuck..- Wait so I'm not asleep ?-" He said with eyes widened in realisation, then he slowly turned to face Muichiro, who was looking at him with an expression that made it seem like he was questioning the boy's dignity, and blinked, pulling him close a few moments later. It was a sudden start to their cuddling session, but it definitely was a step forward.

It had been about 10 minutes since the two lovestruck teenagers began cuddling and Y/N still couldn't fall asleep. Basically, he wanted to be small spoon, because his body being somewhat smaller made it a bit uncomfortable to hold the other boy, so eventually he decided to speak up to see if his friend was awake. "Hey,, Mui..?" the h/c boy whispered softly, only to receive a small "Mmmmnn..?" from the sapphire who was pressed against his chest. "Could-... could I be the small spoon..?" the smaller male said in embarrassment, turning away even though his crush couldn't even see him in the dark. "Yeah, sure. I wanted to be big spoon anyway, but it was comfy like that too, so I didn't say anything. Sorry if I caused you discomfort." the teal-eyed boy apologised quickly before shifting his position a bit, so he would be the one having the other against his chest, holding Y/N tightly, yet softly. Though both were flustered, they ended up relaxing and sleeping comfortably for the rest of the night.

-timeskip to the next day lol-

"Oh my god, Mitsikatsu ! Come here quick you have to see this !!" Yoriichi whisper-yelled to his twin brother, who ended up getting home late at night from work, so he ended up missing meeting Y/N. He was also too tired and grumpy to talk to his brother, so he never found out that there was another teenager in his house in the first place. The man complied and walked to where his twin was, looking into his cousin's room. He blinked a few times, then turned to his brother. "Why the hell is a random guy in our house and why is he in the same bed as the kid." He whispered his question, but it came out as more of a demand to know- which wasn't too far from the truth. "That's Y/N, the boy Muichiro used to talk about, remember ?" The marked man asked with his hands holding eachother and pressed against his one cheek, smiling. "Right, him. Is that all ?" Mitsikatsu said with a blank stare, not really seeing the point in his brother's freakout. "I guess it is. Anyway, I'll wake them up now, go back to doing your thing." Yoriichi said as he entered the room, the other man leaving to go to the kitchen for his own breakfast.

"Hey, you're going to be late if you don't wake up now." The burgundy man said as he shook the two awake. "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.." was all that came out of Y/N's mouth before he realised that he couldn't turn to get up, since he was trapped by Muichiro's arms. His eyelids flew open as he blushed, then he looked at the older man that was standing above them. "Um.. help ?" he said with an small awkward smile, but thankfully, Yoriichi managed to wake up his cousin, who, too, turned into a flustered mess as soon as he woke up.

The two boys were left alone as soon as they sat up, they sat on the edge of the bed for a couple of seconds before Muichiro spoke up. "How did you sleep ?", a long pause waited for him, but the e/c boy answered eventually. "Better than usual. What about you..? I hope I don't move around too much..." He said, clearly embarrassed, but waited for the sapphire's response anyway. "No, it was good. Thanks." The boy said before getting up, patting Y/N's head softly. "So, wanna get changed or something ?" He asked, receiving a small nod from his h/c friend. And so, they did change.

Both of them seemed to have a preference for lightweight and baggy clothes, though Muichiro had a preference for black or blue clothes, while Y/N wore generally more colourful clothing. "You're so emo, jeez." The e/c boy joked as he glanced at the other male in the room. "Yeah ok, whatever you say, himbo mofoe." He teased back, resulting in an angry Y/N. "I'm not a fucking himbo and at least I'm not emo like your headass. Es em heich" he said with a straight face, though both of them knew he had no ill intent in his words. "You suck." Muichiro said, giggling. "Yeah ? What do I suck then ?" The h/c boy said, raising a brow at him, obviously not serious with that question. "Lots of dick apparently." the sapphire snapped back, if Y/N didn't know him, he would've thought he's mad at him. "Fuck off with your 'come-on-fuck-me-emo-boy' looking ass of yours" the e/c male said, giving him a light push. "Ya, you want some or what ?" it was Muichiro's turn to raise his eyebrow at the other boy. "Queue camel by camel." Y/N said, wheezing, which was only fueled by his friend. " 'Make up, make out... I mean-!' " Muichiro quoted a meme, making both of them laugh, as the jokes went on for what felt like forever as the two walked to school, together.
