If tomorrow starts without you

Fucking magnificent

[Back to present time.]

Tendou weakly attempted to sit up on his bed. His legs were feeble as his unfocused vision slowly started to become clear anew. The frail adult put his right hand on his forehead, rubbing it delicately. He decided to shower, but as soon as the latter stood up, dizziness took over his body. He concluded that last night wasn't a dream, as he felt his naked, glittery chest. A smile and blush appeared on his face as he was relieved that he met Wakatoshi. "I need to see him again." He gradually sauntered in the direction of the bathroom to the right of his room. As he placed his hand on the handle, he twisted it, but it took the adult several times to open the wooden bathroom door. He turned on the light and stared at himself in the mirror. He still had all the glitter, and makeup stuck on his pastel skin. The colored powder and shimmers had melted. His face looked like it was beaten. He reached for the shower handle and rotated it, letting the cold water flow on his nape. As the young man languidly turned his head of wet hair, he peered at the light switch. Tendou proceeded to turn it off before setting foot in the chilly shower, with pants on. Lifting his head, the water on his face started to clean his body. His makeup rolled down his skin, making it look like he was crying sparkly blood. The bottom of the bath twinkled. The 6'2 man opened his mouth to allow some glitter in. He then closed his mouth and casually spat the shimmering liquid, running down his pointy chin. His hair blocked his view, as his eyes were still half-opened. Unbothered by the hair and water around his eyes, Tendou stared at the water drops falling in his direction. He was lost in his thoughts. Wakatoshi was on his mind. Unable to stand anymore, he leaned to lay down in the bathtub to try and relax. He allowed his arms to extend on each side of the borders. Without doing it on purpose, the incapacitated man clogged the shower drain. Tendou closed his eyes, but the water raised gradually. He fell asleep in the bath, with the water level elevating until it reached his nose.

Semi opened the door, walking to the toilet as he was about to use the bathroom. Luckily, he saw his roommate about to drown. He had a good vision. He could easily see in the dark. He pulled his sick friend out of the cold liquid and yelled out his name. "Hey! Tendou, what the hell!?" Tendou coughed up water from his nose and grasped the grey-haired man's shirt, suffocating. He didn't understand what just happened, as he felt too weak to respond and think about the situation. Semi helped him out of the tub to recover, giving Tendou a towel and a pair of pyjama pants. Tendou's right arm was around Semi's nape as the latter held his left hip to avoid his roommate to fall. Dragging him to the kitchen, Semi sat his weak friend on a stool. He was visibly hungover. "My poor friend, you were so wasted last night. You must not remember anything."

Semi was right. All Tendou could recall was meeting Wakatoshi and the fact that he almost placed his thin, soft lips on his. Everything blurred out with colourful waves surrounding different gloomy rooms. The trembling boy lazily looked up and met Semi's doleful face. "I can't get addicted to that paper thing you gave me last night, right?"

"You can only be addicted to the feeling of it. But it's not like any other harder drugs out there. So don't worry." Semi explained, trying to reassure his roommate before asking if he enjoyed the feeling. Then he asked if he would retry the tabs. To which Tendou responded that he would rather not try it again in a million years, even though the feeling was incredible. Semi chuckled and pointed out that the alcohol he drank was a silly idea. He should never have mixed it with the acid.

A sudden ache sprang up in Tendou's head. He brought Wakatoshi to the conversation, informing the mocking adult that he missed him. Semi put the palm of his hand on Tendou's right shoulder, cheering him up. He stood up and walked over to the fridge, and grabbed a bottle of water before pouring some in a glass. He handed it to his roommate. Tendou drank it all in one sip, then let his head drop on the counter. He groaned as his fingers formed a fist. He wanted to meet Ushijima again. The tall and muscular man was the only one who could make him feel special. Tendou decided that he needed to go to the grocery store and buy some fruit for a potential energy boost. His roommate, however, hesitated and wanted to go instead of him. Or at least go with him. Tendou denied the invitation as he stumbled back to his room to put some clothes on.
