Night to dawn (A TsukkiYama AU)

Chapter 3

"Well, we're here," said Tsukishima with a sigh as they arrived at his house, "though you already know because you've slept here."

"Okay, okay, I get it, you don't have to keep teasing me about it!" Yamaguchi said with a little pout. That's cute, Tsukishima thought, until he corrected himself. "You forgot to bring some clothes with you," he noted aloud.

"Ah, I guess I did..." Yamaguchi said and rubbed his hands behind his head while grinning nervously. "I guess I'll have to do without showering for-"

"You can take some of my clothes." Tsukishima interrupted him. Wait, why am I being this considerate?, he asked himself. He couldn't seem to get an answer, though, which was expected. "Come on, they're in my room." Yamaguchi followed him upstairs to his room, but when he saw Tsukishima's room, his eyes widened. Then he started laughing. Tsukishima blushed and said "D-don't judge me!" Through tears, Yamaguchi said "Hahaha... s-s-sorry, it's just too f-funny.."

Tsukishima's room was filled head to toe with dinosaurs. His bed covers and pillow covers had little green dinosaur prints on them, the wallpaper had the same print and he had a few dinosaur toys on his shelf. He went over to the cupboard and then frowned. He just remembered that he probably didn't have anything Yamaguchi's size.

"You're much too small for my clothes," he said, "but I'll give you the smallest thing I have, okay?"

Yamaguchi finally stopped laughing and said "Okay, thank you."

"The bathroom's across the hallway and to the left." Tsukishima said, with a little stern in his voice, "Don't get lost."
"I won't, don't worry!" said Yamaguchi, chuckling as he took the clothes from Tsukishima.

As soon as he had gone, Tsukishima went over to his bed, took his favourite pillow and squeezed it tightly. His heart was beating very fast and he hadn't the faintest idea why. It must be because this is the first time I've had someone come over, he told himself, and tried to calm down, but to no avail. 

After about ten minutes, he heard the bathroom door open, so he got his clothes as Yamaguchi opened the door and sighed "Aah, what a refreshing bath!". Tsukishima caught the smell of his own shampoo and blushed, but quickly turned his face away. "Tsukki? What's wrong?" said Yamaguchi and he tried to take a peek at Tsukishima's face, but he quickly calmed himself and said "Nothing, I'm going to go shower."

"Okay, then..."

Tsukishima went to the bathroom and closed the door, leaving Yamaguchi alone

...

After closing the door, Tsukishima put a hand over his mouth and blushed furiously. "What the hell am I doing?" he muttered, and slowly took off his clothes and turned on the shower. To shake himself out of his current state of mind, he turned on the cold water. He watched the droplets slide down his body and felt the biting cold of them, but he enjoyed it. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

After he was done, he  turned the shower off and dried himself, then wore his clothes. He walked back to his bedroom and saw Yamaguchi squeezing the same pillow he had squeezed before, taking deep breaths with his eyes closed. He felt the heat rising up his neck and let out some air. At this, Yamaguchi's eyes flew open and he looked up. He quickly dropped the pillow, blushed a little and said "Sorry Tsukki..."

"D-don't worry about it...". They stared at each other awkwardly for about half a minute until he suggested that they watch a movie. At the mention of this, Yamaguchi's face lit up and his eyes had a new shine to them. "Can we?!" he said excitedly. 

"Why are you so excited? Have you never seen a movie before?" he said with a malicious smirk.

"No, I haven't, but can I pick the movie? Please?"
"Fine."
"Thanks Tsukki! You're the best!"
"Shut up, Yamaguchi."

"Sorry Tsukki, hehe!" said Yamaguchi, with a big smile on his face.

...

"What the hell has possesed you to pick a horror movie?" Tsukishima muttered, when Yamaguchi had picked which movie to watch.

"Huh?" he had a confused expression on his face, "I want to watch it?"

Tsukishima looked at him in shock and said slowly "I didn't expect you to be the type to like horror stuff..."
"Haha, yeah... my family doesn't let me-" Yamaguchi caught himself mid-sentence and murmured "Nothing, let's watch the movie."
"If you say so..."

They had turned off the lights for a cinematic feeling and sat down on cushions on the floor in front of the TV. Tsukishima had a nonchalant expression on his face; he had watched this many times. Yamaguchi, however, was not used to horror movies, since his family hadn't let him watch any movies or play any video games, telling him to "focus on his studies".

Whenever there was a jumpscare, Yamaguchi jumped violently and clutched his hands. Tsukishima watched him from the corner of his eyes until he got annoyed. He put his arm around Yamaguchi and lifted him up and placed him in between his legs. He said "Don't ever choose a horror movie again, you idiot." 

Yamaguchi blushed and then grinned. He snuggled into Tsukishima's back and said "Sorry, Tsukki. But since you said not to choose a horror movie again, that means I get to come to your house again?"

"Shut up, Yamaguchi."
"Sorry, Tsukki."

...

"I'm going to get nightmares after this..." said Yamaguchi weakly as Tsukishima turned off the TV and picked up the cushions. "I don't want to sleep alone..."

"Sleep with me, then." came Tsukishima's voice from  near the window. Tsukishima paused and was shocked at himself. Why did he say that? When did he even think that?

Yamaguchi stared at him and blushed, then turned his face away. "R-really? You mean it?"

No use lying now, Tsukishima thought, as he answered "Yeah."
"Thanks Tsukki!"

They then went upstairs and got ready for bed. Tsukishima lay down first and shuffled closer to the wall so Yamaguchi had space. Yamaguchi got in afterwards, and there was an awkward silence until Yamaguchi said "Goodnight Tsukki!" in the brightest voice he had and Tsukki replied with "Hm."
