Far Away (BakuDeku)

Chapter 13

EIJIRO POV

As eventful of a day today was, I'm pooped. The commotion in the common room had died down some time ago, leaving only a few left lounging around, as the others had gone to bed. My body seems to be telling me it would be a good idea to follow their lead.

For the past couple of months, Katsuki and I had begun spending the weekends together at each others dorms. The school weeks were stressful and busy, not leaving us much time for each other, so the weekends are really the perfect time for us. Even if we have work that needs to get done for our classes, we end up doing it together on one of our beds. The weekends are relaxing, something to look forward to, time to spend together.

I can remember the time after our first date, it had unfortunately rained halfway through and neither of us had brought an umbrella with us. After a mad dash back to the dorms, we found ourselves in his room. He had given me some dry clothes to wear, even though I had insisted I was fine with grabbing some from my own dorm. We had spent the rest of the evening cuddled in his bed, wrapped in a big goofy blanket, watching movies on his laptop. We ended up falling asleep in the middle of our third movie. I had woken up the next morning to find myself in his big comfy clothes, cuddled up with him.

Weekends are really something I look forward to. Last weekend was one spent in his dorm, there was lots of cuddling involved, but this meant that this weekend will be spent in my dorm. Butterfly's flap around in my stomach, I always love it when we spend time like this together. When it's just us, sheltered within the four walls of the dorms, it seems as though we're the only ones in the world. Giddiness bubbles in my chest as I open my dorm door and prepare for the night. My pyjamas are a simple pair of shorts and a t-shirt. I make sure that my laptop is plugged in and that I have extra blankets and pillows on my bed. We weren't given any extra assignments this weekend, which I am thankful for, so there's more time for us.

The time reads 9:17, just about the time he or I would begin to get ready for the others dorm after game night. I decide it would be best if I got comfy in the nest of pillows and blankets, and picked a movie to watch. The only light on in the room is from the lamp on the nightside table, not too bright or too dim, it makes for a perfect setting. With a Netflix tab open on my laptop, I begin my search. An action movie sounds good right now, OOOOH or maybe a horror movie! If I choose a horror movie, then we'd have more chances to get close, though, it's not like he doesn't let me snuggle up anyway. However, no matter how cliche it may be, the idea of being tucked into Katsuki while under a mountain of blankets and pillows with a scary movie playing, sounds quite enticing. Horror movie it is.

Looking over to the alarm clock on the table, I read the time as 9:32. He should be here very soon. Sitting and waiting is very boring. I pull out my phone and play some games to pass the time. Two games of solitaire later, and I'm gazing at the time once more. 9:56. He's probably taken a shower and that' why he's late. He'll arrive shortly. Two more games of solitaire, my laptop has shut itself off, barely leaving the room any dimmer. My alarm clock shows 10:20, it's odd that he'd this late, maybe he's been held up by one of our friends. It's not uncommon for Denki and Hanta to show up and ask stupid questions, just to get on his nerves. Yeah, that's probably what's up.

More time passes, as well as more games of solitaire, but no Katsuki. 10:46, exiting the game on my phone, I pull up my messages and quickly find his contact. 'Hey! Don't forget, weekend at my place this time! :D <3' The text is sent and I sit waiting for a reply. He's always been quick while texting, not leaving anyone on delivered for longer than necessary, he doesn't like the notifications on his phone. With no reply, I head over to the contacts of Mina, Denki, and Hanta.

EK: 'Hey guys! Ya seen Katsu around? He hasn't showed up yet :/'

Not much time passes before I get a response,

HS:'Nah, not since the common room.'

Real helpful Hanta, I roll my eyes. Denky is the next to reply,

DK: 'Yeah me neither dude. Sorry.'

A sigh escapes my lips, so the chaotic duo aren't the cause to my boyfriends tardiness. The last bit of hope I had vanished when Mina was the last to text back,

MA: 'Awwww, Eijiiiiii, is the bo not there yet??? Maybe he had some things to do. I'm sure you'll see him soon!!!!'

She's right, he's probably cleaning his room or doing extra school work. He'll be here soon. By now, my eyelids are heavy and it's hard to keep myself conscious. I just have to stay awake a little bit longer, he'll be here soon. 11:23, my laptop is pushed off of my beaded my nightside lamp is shut off. I fight off sleep as best as I can, but it really has been a long day. My eyes close one last time before I'm over come with sleep. Though, the same thought plays through my mind, he'll be here soon.

MORNING... EIJI POV

As my eyes blink open, my vision is still a little blurry. Sun streams in dimly from the curtains. I roll onto my side and acknowledge the time on my alarm clock, 7:13. My head tells me that I should go back to sleep, it's the weekend after all, I have no reason to get up early. However, it's never a bad thing to start the day off early. Slowly sitting up, I take notice to the laptop placed carelessly on the floor. As well as the extra amounts of pillows that had been tossed around in my sleep. Oh yeah... He never showed up. To be fair, he had had a fairly exhausting day, so maybe he just passed out on his bed. I'm still disappointed, but with this thought I'm able to let it slide.

The floor of my room is cool under my feet. Blinking some more, my mind is slightly awoken and I step over to the door. My pyjamas being simply shorts and a shirt, I'm comfortable enough to head down to the kitchen, but I'm sure not too many others would be awake at this time on a Sunday. My room is at the end of a hallway, so I'm careful to keep my steps light as I make way my way to the elevator, as to not wake those who may still be asleep. The ride down is slow, enough time for me to wake myself up fully. The doors slide open, and I quietly walk across the common room and into the kitchen. This floor is very spacey and open, most spaces all connected together. As expected, there were no others in sight.

I grab a glass from an upper cabinet, placing it gently on the island in the middle of the kitchen. Opening the fridge door, I begin the search for orange juice. Due to all of us sharing the same cooking space, items placed in the fridge are never where they were last, always moved by someone else. My eyes land on the familiar orange container, the fridge door closes and I turn back to the island. Instead of being met with my lone glass, my eyes fall upon two figures standing by the entrance of the kitchen. The three of us pause, making no movements, only string at each other. My mind begins to function once more, as I poor the juice into the glass and put the container away.

Spinning on my heal, I grab my glass and start out of the kitchen. Before fully passing the others, I stop and face them both. My eyes taking in the sight of the boy with messy green curls, wearing my boyfriends clothes, along with the spiky blond haired male, who stared at me stunned. I swallow thickly, "You forgot to come over last night." Red meets red, Katsuki's eyes showing nothing but guilt. Without another word, I turn and head back to my room.
