Y/N's POV

"Y/N, Kazuha, you two ready to set off yet? You got everything? We're about to start letting a few special guests on to leave so we're just double checking!" Beidou called out to us, we both yelled back a "yes" from the wheel and she chuckled at our words being in sync before leaving us alone to do whatever. 

"Y/N, the skies won't be clear for long so how about we go to our room to avoid the storms?" Kazuha suggested. I nod and he holds his hand out for me to take. I take it with no hesitation and he walks us back to our rooms, guests starting to board the ship. 

Kazuha opens the door and lets go of my hand, closing it behind him and locking it so that nobody walks in thinking it's their room. I made my way over to his bed and sat down. 

He sat down behind me, allowing me to sit in between his legs so he could play with my hair. My head rested on his stomach and I felt myself slowly drifting to sleep. He feels like home.

at Kazuha's house the next day - (around 9pm)

It didn't take that long to get back to Inazuma, only a day and a half. I decided that now would be the best time to quit working at the detective agency considering they were becoming more popular with employees. I wasn't going to quit my detective work though, I just needed more free time and I can't get that if I'm being screamed at through a phone to work on cases quicker. 

My face scrunched up, quitting a job is quite stressful and so I needed to figure out how to do it without feeling really awkward and guilty afterwards. 

"What's got you all worked up Y/N?" Kazuha asks, walking over to where I'm seated in his kitchen and kissing my cheek. 

He massages my shoulders from behind me. I smile. 

"I'm thinking of quitting work at the agency tomorrow but I'm not sure how to." I reply softly, looking up to meet his eyes. 

He plants a quick kiss on my lips. Butterflies flutter in my stomach. 

"Just simply tell them that you're unhappy working there now, you've found other ways to live your life and that you wish them the best." he whispers, resting his chin on my head. 

"You're right, thanks for the help." I hug his arm. 

"Can we go cuddle in my room now?" he whines in a tired voice. I laugh and give a hum of agreement. 

I follow him to his room and lay down on the bed next to him. He wraps his arms around my waist and I bury my face into his chest. We laid still like that for a while before I turned around and moved backwards, into his embrace more before falling asleep.

Kazuha's POV

***

When I woke up, I was spooning Y/N. I'm not sure when I fell asleep or when she changed positions but I'm not complaining. 

I sat up carefully to not wake her. God she's so beautiful. 

I slowly got out of the bed and walked out of the room. I'm going to make her breakfast, that's a thing couples do. Even though we're not officially dating, we're definitely not just best friends anymore. 

I grab a box of her favourite cereal and her favourite drink. The toaster dings and I take out the slices of toast, putting them on the tray with a mix of spreads for her to choose from. 

I hear the sound of the bed moving around so I assume she's woken up. 

Making my way back to our room, she's sat on the bed, rubbing her eyes. I place down the tray in front of her with a smile. She looks at me in confusion and then weakly smiles.
