the art of faking a smile. (under-construction)

19. This friendship that's breaking

DYLAN POV

I step out of the bathroom with only shorts on. No, unlike those typical gay or romance stories where that one hot dude will at some point walk around shirtless to fluster their crush, I just simply needed to find a cleaner shirt to wear because the one I have right now smells like shit.

I throw my smelly shirt into the laundry basket and enter the room. There I see both the Matsuri brothers dead asleep, Akio on the mattress, slightly drooling a bit and Hideki curled up into a ball on my bed, soft snores coming from him. I smile, today was pretty hectic for them so they're probably exhausted and wanting rest. I silently take out a shirt from my wardrobe and put it on before switching the lights off and slipping into bed. I turn to face Hideki's back and just stare at him for a while, gently placing a kiss on the back of his head.

It's been so long since we've slept in the same bed like this I realised that the bed is quite small to fit the both of us now so there's little space between the both of us. I lean my head against Hideki's and sigh, thinking back to the events that happened before dinner, caressing my lips once again with a smile on my face that I couldn't stop. I soon drift off to sleep with happy thoughts in my head, thinking about a boy I've been stuck with for my whole life who has an adorable blush on his face.

----------

Morning comes in a flash. The wind peacefully rustling the trees and the soft rays of golden sunlight shining through the window. With my eyes now wide open and my senses fully awake, I feel a warm presence snug under my arm, soft breathing hitting my torso. I look down to see both Hideki and I cuddled closely together, my arm still over him. Hideki is still sound asleep, his facial expression looking soft and relaxed. But I know those cute expressions will fade away once I wake him up from his beauty sleep.

"Hideki, wake up." I gently shake Hideki by the shoulder and he just grumbles in reply, pulling the covers over his head.

How cute.

I slowly open the covers again and start playing around with Hideki's face. Massaging his cheeks and nose and opening his eyelids showing all whites in which I chuckle a little from the sight. I start making funny faces with Hideki's face and man I want to take a picture so badly, but at the same time I'm too lazy to get up. As a result, I finally wake Hideki up who has a cranky face and looks as though he wants to murder someone, AKA me.

"Morning." I smile at him cheekily, my face close to his. Hideki pauses for a moment before pushing me away as far as he could, a blush covering his cheeks and ears.

"T-too close!" Hideki mumbled, damn was it fun teasing him.

"Well I guess we can't help it since the bed is quite small."

"Wait... does that mean we cuddled while we were sleeping?" Hideki asks.

I shrug. "Well if you want to think we did then I guess you can."

Hideki blushes even more. "Idiot obviously I don't want to think so.."

He's become so much more cuter and less manlier now, so fucking cute.

"Okay, okay, but we did and I couldn't help it, my arms probably unconsciously sneaked it's way around you and the bed is kinda cramped for the both of us. Anyways we should go downstairs for breakfast then get ready for school." I get out of bed, stretching my arms out and scratching my stomach.

"Nooooo I don't want to go to school." Hideki groans his face planted to the pillow, first time hearing that from him. I roll my eyes, taking a sip from my drink bottle.

I then slowly creep up to Hideki with an evil grin and slowly pour water on his bare neck. Hideki yelps at the sudden wetness of his neck as the water slowly trickles down his back.
