For You

Weather is no excuse for him, he'll come to you rain or shine.

With the rain pounding against your apartment window and the wind rattling your door, you couldn't help but want to curl even more into your soft blanket. Ushijima had promised to return early to you tonight to watch a drama with you, but the intensity of the rain seemed to make it incredibly difficult to keep the promise that made you stay up past your internal curfew. Your eyes were already heavy and slowly weighing themselves down, but the willpower and stubborn desire to see your lover really forced your limits.

U: be there soon

You weren't sure if it was your exhaustion from your activities or your need to see Ushijima, but the sound of footsteps in the rain pulled you out of your tempting slumber. Waiting a solid five minutes with your ears focused on the door, you exhale a breath realizing that the sound was most likely something from your imagination.

Except the loud banging against your door proved that it was not as you bolt upward and wobble your way toward your front door.

"_______!" You quickly unlock the entrance and back away a few steps as you watch Ushijima calmly step in and close the door behind him in one stride. As expected, the man is drenched head to toe in cold water as you watch him run a hand through his dripping tresses to move out of his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I promised to watch something with you tonight but it appeared that the weather didn't agree with the plans." You, who stared at Ushijima with glassy eyes, merely leaned into his soaking form (you had tossed your blanket onto the sofa without realizing) and grasped at his clothing sticking to your skin.

"Let's go to bed." You're slowly slipping away from your consciousness as you feel strong arms wrap and carry you into something warm. The warmth envelops you completely, but you feel as if there's a component missing - a warmer body that you wanted to hold was missing from beside you.

"_______." In what felt like an eternity, Ushijima finally returned to you wearing pajamas and radiating strong body heat as he scooted closer and melted his figure into yours. Ah, he really didn't have to run to you like this, but maybe just once you'd allow yourself to be greedy.

"Thanks for coming." Ushijima presses a kiss to your forehead.

"Of course."

Nothing would stop him from being with you.
