NOTES/ uni!au where yamaguchi n reader r roommates and reader is an absolute chaos machine but tired today

ㅡ

deciding to rent an apartment with you was probably one of the most unexpected decisions yamaguchi would've claimed to have made. he was so desperate to find a place for school that as soon as he found you, he was in. you looked much like a senpai he had when he was in his 1st year high school, angelic and calm, kind of like a mother. this eased his nerves and he thought he was moving in with someone very mature. but of course you turned out to be as chaotic as another senpai he recalled who was like a mere child who had so much energy it was as if his blood was actually a mix of caffeine and energy drinks.

but even the ones with the most energy had their moments where they fall victim to fatigue.

you and yamaguchi had eased into one another quite well, the contrast of calm and chaos finding a middle that created a much needed balance in both your lives. the chores were always taken care of since you were able to put your energy to good use most times, you both remained well fed as yamaguchi helped you learn a couple more dishes than instant ramen and fried egg, and your days remained always interesting. yamaguchi enjoyed coming home to you and hearing what kind of crazy stories you had to share about your day.

though today seemed to be a much more quieter day for the both of you.

with the semester wrapping up, finals were coming into play. some students had their finals right after the last day of classes, some at a good middle and the lucky ones closer to the end of finals season. you, unfortunately, had 4 exams right after the other while yamaguchi was granted the blessing of having his exams evenly spaced out.

you pushed yourself to work hard, wanting to maintain a good gpa, and for a while it did worry yamaguchi. it wasn't often you sat yourself down and studied properly. he thought you might experience some sort of stroke.

thankfully your exams passed quickly and you came home, confident that you "aced that shit!", on your final day to celebrate.

"tadashi! let's drink!" you told him, a bright expfession gracing your face despite the heavy eye bags and dark circles around your eyes, "i'll go buy us sake~!!"

and he was convinced, telling you he was alright to celebrate tonight since his exam was in two days.

"okay, just let me shower and you and i can head out to grab stuff for a celebration," he said, getting an excited nod in return.

his shower lasted less than 20 minutes and he was out of his room, ready to leave. he called your name and was met with silence, however, and he already knew what the situation came to be.

walking into the living room, he noticed you passed out on the couch in the most uncomfortable position. you sat at the edge, body tilted to the side with your shoulder leaning against the arm rest and your head just hanging. it didn't look like a way anyone with a sane mind could sleep but he knew just how much you've been studying and also keeping up with maintaining the apartment.

his heart swelled at the sight of you, tired yet still bright. he never imagined himself to ever be so close to someone that he didn't even go to high school with, someone he just ended up rooming with because he needed somewhere to stay. he was glad he found you, though, as all that he's experienced with you now had become memories he held so dearly.

"oh y/n," he sighed, shaking his head as he moved around the couch to get to you, "what am i going to do with you?"

it was a rhetorical question though he knew there was an answer. obviously he was going to take you to your room so you can actually sleep and then he was going to go grab some ingredients to make you your favourite dinner. he scooped you up in his arms, your body not even reacting to him hauling you off the couch. you were that tired, he supposed.

with ease, he headed straight for your room and used his foot to move the covers from your bed. he then placed you down gently and adjusted your body to make sure you were comfortable and that you wouldn't wake up stiff like you would have had he left you at the couch.

he chuckled to himself and brushed some hair out of your face, taking the time to admire your beauty for a moment. you looked so at ease, your chest rising and fall at a steady pace as you seemingly dreamed about something good. it was times like this that you looked ethreal, like a heaven sent angel. but he knew as soon as you woke up the chaos would return and you'd be like a little demon waiting to cause mischief at 100% full energy.

this brought another laugh to bubble in his throat and he shook his head.

"you did good today," he whispered softly, leaning in to gave your forehead a congratulatory kiss. his lips lingered against your skin for a moment, him savouring a sweet moment he could never find courage to pursue when you were awake and acting like you drank coffee and an energy drink for an hour straight. but he liked you that way anyway.
