Mondo Owada x reader [without you]

excitement

Your P.O.V
The two of us woke up in the morning again, in the same position as I fell asleep in. My cheeks turned red just slightly as I noticed how close the two of us had been. Mondo stretched himself and brought a little distance in between the two of us to probably avoid an awkward situation. I mean I don't blame him, I would have probably just done the same. 
The biker quickly fixed some single strands which stuck out of his hair with his hair products while I quickly got myself ready. He put on his giant ass coat again, stretching himself sleepily before leaving towards the dining hall with me. I was so god damn tired. I mean why the heck did morning time had to be at 7am? couldn't it have been one or two hours later? But alright this was a school after all, I guess 7am made sense.. It was still too early considering this place isn't even used as a school. 

Nevertheless, we eventually forced ourselves into the dining hall, sitting down. Considering how many we had been at the start, this felt empty as shit. I mean okay, Byakuya just stopped showing up to the daily meetings and 6 others were dead, of course it would feel empty. While I ate some breakfast, even though I wasn't hungry but I didn't want to collapse again, I continued to sketch around a bit, of course so that Mondo wouldn't see it because now I was for real working at his design and I think I was ready to start the coloring. 
I took some watercolor markers and colored the base, blending the different colors with the water pen that was inside the package of the markers and then taking some other pens as soon as it was dry to make the shadows deeper and to make the design look a lot better. The part with the coloring and shading was the part which took me the longest but it was also the part that was the most fun. Sometimes I would just sit hours on different designs, forgetting the time and avoiding everything that has got to do with homework as good as possible. I always copied it in the mornings after that to not to get in trouble with Taka or the teachers. 

I didn't really get that far as I thought by the time almost everybody left but I was sure that I would have finished it until nighttime by sure. I was really determined to give it to him and just wanted to see his reaction when he saw the design I sat so long on. I stood up as well eventually, heading towards the biker. "I'mma go and finish this, I'm sure I can show you today before nighttime sooo... let's meet up shortly before nighttime in the dining hall again", I let out to him, giving him a smile. "Woah for real man? thanks!", he let out, grinning widely. His grin was reason enough to finish this as soon as it was possible. I was just so excited about how he would think about the result- 

I made my way towards my dorm, the first time since I have been in Hope's Peak that I was really motivated to finish this. I unlocked my dorm room quickly, pushing open the door and closing it again with my foot, locking it so that no one could randomly enter. 
I set down my drawing materials onto my desk, starting to color the base with the markers at first again and then continuing on until everything was finished. Now I just needed to do the details- I packed together the markers and put them into their right order into the package again, so that it looked ordinary. I didn't like it when my whole materials were flying all over my desk while I was working, it was just so god damn annoying and confused me sometimes. 

But as I just packed everything up again and got out the other pens and pencils that I was going to use to bring more dimension into the design, the doorbell rang. I raised an eyebrow. Is that Mondo? It could be. I stood up, opening the door to see a note on the floor in front of my feet. I picked it up and read it while I was heading inside again after I saw no one else standing around. The note told me that Mondo wanted to meet me up earlier than planned and the same place and that he had something that he wanted to tell me. 
Somehow it seemed weird to me. Why wouldn't he just come up to me and tell me in person? I didn't know but maybe he just didn't want to disturb me so badly. I decided not to think about it too much as I sat down onto my desk, folding the note and pushing it into the pockets of my pants. It surely took me a while to finish Mondo's design but I really liked it, even though this usually would have been way quicker. But in here, I wasn't really all that motivated enough and I didn't want to make the design worse by forcing myself to draw something. 

I was earlier finished than I thought and now I just needed to wait the time until I was supposed to meet my friend. I was so excited for his reaction- I just hoped that he liked it but at the other side- It looked awesome and I was the ultimate tattoo designer for a reason- 
But eventually that time came. I ripped the pages carefully out of the notebook along with the sketches of Mondo I did during the previous breakfasts. Not because I wanted to show it to him, I just ripped it out so that he wouldn't find it if he skipped through the sketchbook or took a look at it. And so I eventually headed outside of my dorm, heading towards the dining hall full of excitement.
