Yuzuru stared at the front door of the apartment and considered just turning around and going back to the hotel but.. he couldn't. 

After Yuzuru's asthma attack Javier had taken the liberty of calling his mom. Javier knew she'd be worried sick and come straight to Canada if she knew. She wanted to accompany him on every flight and never leave him alone for a second. That's how overprotective she was. Javier insisted that Yuzuru would come stay with him instead. This way a responsible adult (He was only 21 years old !) could watch over him and make sure he was okay. Of course Yuzuru's mother was beyond grateful and thought it would be a great compromise. Of course she would trust the man who had saved her son's life. 

It was either this or Yuzuru would have to go back to flying up and down with his mom. This way, Yuzuru could stay in Canada. His parents agreed to let him live with Javier as long as he kept up with his schooling online. It was perfect. Yuzuru was going to get to skate every day now. The only problem? Javi. 

Yuzuru hesitantly knocked on the door. They'd only met a few weeks ago and he was already moving in. Yuzuru insisted on paying half the rent. He didn't want to be a freeloader. Javier insisted on him not worrying about that but in the end Yuzuru got what he wanted. 

Javier opened the door. He was only wearing a towel loosely tied around his waist. His body was still shiny and wet from a fresh shower. Yuzuru instinctively turned away from Javier. 

"I'm sorry." he said. "I'll wait till you're done." Yuzuru tried to walk away but Javi grabbed him and pulled him against his golden chest. He held him tight. 

"I missed you." Javier said as he smelled Yuzuru's hair. 

"I've missed you too." Yuzuru admitted. 

Javier's heart fluttered and he pulled him even closer. After his asthma attack, Yuzuru had flown straight home to talk to his freaked out family. Javier and Yuzuru hadn't seen each other in a week. 

Yuzuru tried to move out of the tight hold but Javier didn't let go. 

"Javi.." 

"Yuzu..." 

Yuzuru laughed. "We can cuddle more later. Let's get inside." Yuzuru tried to move again but failed. 

"No." Javier said childishly. 

"You're gonna catch a cold, Javi." Yuzuru said. Javier felt butterflies in his stomach. Yuzuru was worried about him! He wanted to squeal. "Okay, then." Javier grabbed Yuzuru's suitcases and brought them inside. 

"So this is your room." Javier and Yuzuru went into the master bedroom. "..which is also my room." 

Yuzuru looked at Javier in disbelief. "Is that a joke?" 

"We're dati- I mean friends, right? It's no problem." Javier said. 

Yuzuru didn't say anything. 

"I mean, I could sleep on the couch. I don't really have any more bedrooms so-" 

"No. It's okay." Yuzuru smiled. 

Javier knew he was being a little manipulative. He even manipulated this entire situation. If Javier hadn't called Yuzuru's mother, this might not have happened but.. what had to be done, had to be done. Javier knew that Yuzuru, in his distinct politeness, would never let Javier sleep on the couch.

Nighttime rolled around and both the boys were ready for bed. Yuzuru was already sitting in bed, reading a book. He was wearing long striped pajama pants and button up. Javier thought he looked adorable. Javier took off his shirt and pants so he was only wearing boxers and hopped into bed. 

"What are you reading?" Javier asked.

Yuzuru turned his book cover towards Javier. 'An Axel A Day Keeps The Doctor Away' "Seriously? Even in your free time you're reading about skating?" Javier said, amazed. 

"It's important." 

Javier shook his head. "When is it cuddle time then?" Javier whined. 

Yuzuru ignored the question and tried (and failed) to focus on reading his book. 

Javier leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. 

"Goodnight, Yuzu." He went under the covers and fell asleep.
