Makoto's POV: (TW: 🛑homophobia, alcohol and sexual assault🛑)

Makoto woke up with his head resting on Togami's shoulder.

He was honestly super relaxed so he didn't want to get up, but the pressure against his cheek rose a couple of questions. His eyes sluggishly open and then a squeak tore from his throat.

Holy hell someone kill him. He swallowed down the panic and then noticed the absence of Hagakure. So his eyes flit across the room until he found him scrolling on his phone, sitting on a chair away from them. He looked up, smirked and then gave a wink. "Sorry. Didn't want to interrupt you guys"

Makotos face turns red, taking a quick glance at Togami to confirm he was still asleep and then speaks up, "so...who else knows?"

Hagakure snorts, "half the class man"

Makoto grimaces. He really thought he was subtle. Togami shifts a bit, muttering something under his breath before leaning against Makoto. "Uh...does he...?" He gestures to the sleeping boy next to him.

Hagakure looked around the room before leaning forward, "There is no way he knows" he whispers. "Like it's impossible, this guy is so dense"

Makoto exhales with relief, a weight being taken off his shoulders. Except for...the obvious weight next to him. At least Togami doesn't know yet. Maybe he could just wait these feelings out?

Yeah, that'll work.

Hagakure continued scrolling on his phone before looking back up, "so...not confessing anytime soon?"

"I'm not talking about it" Makoto mumbled, leaning against the couch. Hagakure raises his eyebrows before shrugging.

"Fine with me. Just like...stop turning red every time Togami talks to you" Hagakure said. After he finished his sentence, Togami shifted around before his eyes opened, he sits up, clearly unaware of the emotional turmoil Makoto just went through.

Hagakure grins, "morning sleeping beauty"

Togami just shoots him a glare before rubbing his eyes, "what's the time?"

"9:12 am" Makoto mutters.

He wrinkles his nose, "I have this uh...business party at 7 pm today" he yawns.

Hagakure nods, "oh hell yeah! Can I drive you?"

"No, I'd rather die." Togami shook his head before standing up. "I'm going to take a shower" and then he leaves.

Makoto glanced over, "do you think he liked the Barbie movie yesterday?"

Hagakure nods, "oh yeah!"

He smiles, "really?"

"Nah he despised that shit"

"Ah..."

Togami came back down in 30 minutes, wet blonde hair and wearing a dress shirt and ironed trousers. He walked down the stairs, wiping at his glasses while Makoto was sitting on the island counter in the kitchen. Hagakure was talking about an encounter with a ghost when he was a kid.

"-and I'm telling you, the ghost was right the-" then Hagakure looked up. "Oh yo what's up"

Togami shrugged, "I'm okay. My back hurts considering the fact I slept on a couch with 2 other people" he says.

Makoto pursed his lips, trying not to let his face turn red cause apparently he is not subtle at all according to Hagakure. But Togami just walks past him, opening cabinets and squinting.
