Remember When? // T. Muichiro x m!Reader

Chapter 16 - "Rough Morning."

Y/N finally managed to wake himself up. He was half conscious for a while, being able to feel and hear everything around him, but he couldn't move or open his eyes- he was kind of stuck like that. It wasn't a rare occurrence, he was often fatigued by his depression and lack of motivation, but he had never left like that around Muichiro before. He opened his eyes slowly, noticing that he was being embraced tightly by the taller male. He looked up, noticing that the mint-eyed boy had already been awake, seemingly staring at the (h/c)ette, a small smile playing on his (c/t) lips. "How long have you been watching me sleep for?" He asked, seemingly snapping the taller boy from his trance. "I- um. Hi." The sapphire panicked and just said the first thing that came to mind.

Despite sounding stupid, he couldn't help it- his brain just wouldn't cooperate with how flustered was from embarrassment. "Pfft- Hi, Mui." Y/N said, giggling at how cute he found the long-haired boy. He went to get up, but Muichiro only tightened his hold around the e/c boy's waist, pulling him closer. He proceeded to bury his face against the back of the smaller boy's neck, whining. "Stay like this for a while with me.." The ravenette said, his voice muffled and meek. The (h/c)ette knew that Muichiro wasn't planning to force him, which he was glad for, but in all honestly, he didn't want to get up either. It was Sunday after all, and he would have to go back home today, so he decided to savour the precious time with the taller boy. Y/N simply relaxed his muscles and melted back into the warmth of the bed and his peer, sighing in contention.

After a while of just laying there with their eyes closed, both of the boys got hungry. They were very much awake the whole time, but they both very much flustered by the whole situation of the cuddling to move or say anything. Much as the air wasn't tense, and neither were they, but they both felt really awkward. "Hey, are you hungry?" Y/N suddenly asked, trying to ease the awkwardness between them. Muichiro just nodded against his neck, letting out a low hum in confirmation. In times like this, the (h/c)ette was so glad that the other boy couldn't see his face, because it was as red as strawberry. The fact that the taller boy never realised how effortlessly attractive he could be was going to be the death of him.

"Alright, let's get up then." He attempted to get up, but he felt the arms of the other tighten around his body yet again. "No." The shorter boy sighed, trying again with a gentle voice. "Mui.." Yet, it didn't seem to work. "No.." He tried a third time, his voice more firm and strict, yet it still held tenderness in it- like a mother of sorts? "Muichiro." This time, the taller retracted his arms."...You're no fun." The ravenette grumbled and crossed his arms around his chest. Even if Y/N wasn't looking at him, he just knew the other boy was pouting. "Right?" Y/N agreed sarcastically as he hopped off the bed, leaving the other boy to sulk about how he couldn't get more cuddles.

Even if Y/N was the one who wanted to get out of bed, he still found himself longing for the warmth the other boy provided him. But oh well, it was the price to pay for being hungry. He got Two bowls, two spoons, the milk and the cereal and poured cereal then milk into each bowl respectively, dipping the spoons into the while liquid that had the cereal floating in it. He also took notice of the fact that the taller boy hadn't exited the room yet, so he went to get him. Upon entering the room, he came into view with his favourite ravenette, laying flat against the bed as he stared at the blank ceiling. "Oi, I made you breakfast. Get up." Y/N informed and left the room, going to eat.

For a while, the taller boy seemed pretty sad. Eating his breakfast, brushing his teeth, everything he did he had a sad frown on his face, and Y/N just couldn't understand why that was. Had he done something wrong? Was he too mean when he asked to get up? He didn't mean to upset the other in any way, but all he could do was watch, as the usual cheerfulness Muichiro held was nowhere to be seen. Actually, he looked like he was going to cry half the time. It was very concerning. Was he mad at Y/N? The mint-eyed boy was just so hard to read, it bothered the (h/c)ette a lot.

The shorter decided it's best to grow a pair and ask his friend what was going on. Even if this was about him, the least he could do is talk it out with the other. "Hey, um, are you okay? I mean.. Clearly, you aren't, but did I do something wrong? If so please let me know. If not, please talk to me, don't just bottle it up.." Y/N said, tugging on the sleeve of the sweater of the ravenette to get his attention. "Oh,, don't worry. I'm just thinking about how you have to leave later. I don't want you to go back there is all.. That's why I didn't want to let you go, to be honest.." The teal-eyed boy admitted bashfully, averting his gaze from his friend. "Oh- Don't worry about it! I've lived like that forever, it isn't going to affect me too much. I'll just miss the cuddles.... and your smile in the morning.." The e/c boy explained, mumbling the last part quietly enough so that the other boy wouldn't hear. "What was that last thing you said?" The sapphire asked, tilting his head. "What last thing?" Y/N asked back, pretending to be confused too. "Oh, nevermind." The taller waved the other off, thinking about what he'd been just told.
