30 Day Ship Challenge - Miritama - BNHA

Day 16 - Needing Each Other

It was rather dark, rainy, and gloomy. Mirio was off on some fantastical journey with some students training to be heros.
What a good day.
Tamaki couldn't bring himself to ask his lover to come and hug him. He needed someone right now but was that going to make him ask? No.
He couldn't. How could he?
Just because he was having a mental breakdown and in extreme physical pain didn't mean that he had the right to intrude on what was supposed to be a fun day off from heroing on Mirio's part.
He was able to push himself up and drag himself downstairs; using the bit of his takoyaki that he had left from the battle he'd gotten so caught up in. Tamaki wanted to try and sleep but he didn't want to miss Mirio once he came in. Plus, he didn't think he would be able to. Maybe if he took a few pain meds and one of the insomnia pills Mirio had he'd be able to. They both struggled with sleeping most of the time, but Mirio's were a bit stronger; he had a bigger dose. That was because Tamaki didn't need that much, just enough for his brain to finally stop tormenting him and let him fall asleep already.
Having someone Mirio's couldn't be too bad.
Was it that smart? No. Did Tamaki think it was? Also no. But did he try to do it anyway? Yeah. Because he was so loopy and he couldn't think of anything better. He couldn't imagine anything better.
If he could just collapse on the couch the pain would go away for a while. Maybe Mirio would wake him with the shout he always gave to let him know he was home.. But the guy was also fairly good at not waking the light-sleeper from his naps.

And that was just what Tamaki did, tried to help his pain then brought the bottle of water he'd used to swallow the dose of sleepy pills over to the cluch.
He wad already drowsy. He wondered vaguely how these didn't actually work on Miri sometimes, because about 20% of the time they wouldn't be able to get him asleep.
He draped his lacreated and broken arm off the side of the couch and succumbed to the weights on his eyelids, only having to wait for (what seemed like seconds) before the surprisingly quick release came.

As soon as it had started, it was gone again, but with the addition of some extra pain.
It wasn't so bad at first, starting as a simple unpleasent feeling, but as Tamaki woke more, he found himself whimpering. When he opened his eyes he could see Mirio, quiet as a mouse, tending to the wounds as carefully as he could.
Even though he most likely didn't know Tamaki was awake he would utter an apology every time the guy so much as shifted, as if it was his doing.
He kept his eyes closed and tried to bear through it, he didn't want to disrupt Mirio and make him mess up. He seemed to know what he was doing, of course he did, he'd been  picking up healthcare and first-aid since he really got a handle on his quirk and felt he was strong enough without it aswell. He's gotta know what he's doing.
Mirio would glance up every few moments and upon realizing Tamaki was awake, let out a soft yelp. He stood. “Tamaki! Are you alright, why wouldn't you go to a hospital?!”
“I-its not the worst.. I can deal, they have worse inguries to deal with.”
He didn't dare deactivate his quirk willingly.
Mirio sighed, pulling Tamaki close. The second he pulled back, Tamaki found himself in tears, collecting quickly and suddenly realixinng he was sobbing. He whimpered and hid his face in the crook of Mirio's neck, wrapping his undamaged arm around hin ans squeezing with all his might.
“I-” he sniffed, “I- I let him get away!” Tamaki cried, bursting into tears again. He needed to get something out but that was all he could do.
Mirio hugged him tightly and ran gentle circles on his back. He almost rave the gentle 'shhh, it's okay' but decided against it. He hadn't seen Tamaki cry like this in a long time and knew he needed to let it out. “It's alright, let it out, Sawa-chan. Let it out.”
