THE same grey ceiling hung above the faces of two males, laying flat on their back. in the same apartment, only a wall separated them from being with each other. although the two longed for each other, only a wall of cement blocked their path to each other, why wouldn't just one move so they can be together?

DOPPO's chest slowly rose up and down. whilst eyeing the boring, dull ceiling, he placed his right hand on top of his chest. the same feeling erupted inside him once more. doppo couldn't sleep. he couldn't even close his eyes, even if he was tired from working all day.
sorrowful, restless eyes stared at the grey painted ceiling. the same grey painting ceiling for years.
hifumi tossed and turned in his bed. nervous, yet excited for the day which will be unraveled when the sun rises and when the district of shinjuku becomes alive. hifumi coughed, for a long time. scattered on his bed were a dozen red rose petals. his trembling legs slowly guided him to grab a plastic bag, then he stuffed the petals coming from his own body, and threw the plastic bag away.
there was no way hifumi was going to sleep again. he saw the same scene every time he closed his eyes. jakurai, doppo, the people from his work, even the team members of other divisions, gathered around his glossy, pitch black coffin.
i don't want this to happen. i don't want to be a burden for others. i don't want doppo to worry.
tears rested on the side of his eyes, as it slowly trailed down his cheeks. he wiped his tears with the white long sleeved shirt he wore to sleep. hifumi didn't think twice about rising up from his comfortable bed, and swung the door open. he made sure to not make a noise. slowly turning the doorknob, he entered doppo's room.
"hifumi?" he froze, eyes wide open. "d-doppo, why aren't you asleep? aren't you tired?" hifumi closed the door to doppo's room and slowly moved forward to the bed. "hey! did i tell you, you can come in here?" doppo sat up from the somewhat comfortable position he was currently in. "i don't need permission doppo-chin!"
doppo was not in the mood to argue with hifumi. "ne, why are you up anyways?" hifumi sat down on the side of the bed. "i don't know." hifumi pouted. "that's not a good excuse." doppo turned his head to him. "then what's your excuse for coming into my room? baka." this time it was hifumi's turn to sigh. "nightmares."
"how old are you? four?" a pillow was thrown at doppo's face, causing him to fall back down on the bed. hifumi slipped under the large, white blanket covering most of doppo's bed like a layer of snow while ch covered pine trees on a winter night.
"it's not only that, baka. i'm excited to spend the whole day with you tomorrow!" hifumi basically slammed himself on the bed and sighed. the two team members of matenrou laid next to each other, only a few centimeters apart. "ne, doppo-kun." hifumi shifted his weight on the left side of his body and turned his head to face his best friend. "hm?"
"do you love me?" doppo snapped his head to face hifumi without a second though. "hah?! what kind of question is that?" hifumi laughed. "eh just wondering." hifumi chuckled. "oi, is your head in the right place today? oh wait, it never is."
"doppo!" hifumi whined. the two faced the grey painted ceiling once more. "should we repaint the apartment? the ceiling is too dull. don't ya think?" doppo kept quiet, already half asleep. "uh, do what you want." doppo had already doze off.
hifumi chuckled, seeing the sleeping figure of his best friend. well, hopefully soon to be more than best friends. "oyasumi, doppo." hifumi hovered above doppo, and gave his forehead a light peck. he laid flat on his stomach, and one hand wrapped itself around doppo's waist.
not a second later, hifumi felt a warm hand wrapped around his back. "hifumi..." doppo muttered in his sleep. from laying on his back, he shifted to sleep on his side and faced hifumi.
soon the two males dozed off to sleep. not facing the dull, grey ceiling, but facing each other.
hifumi,
doppo,
