Yamaguchi's perspective

Nighttime. It's always one of the worst times during the day for me. Especially because I've been having recurring nightmares ever since I was starting middle school, and they've only been getting worse with each passing year. And now that I'm in my first year of high school, they've gotten so bad to the point where I've given up on sleeping entirely. Some might call me crazy, but it doesn't bother me all that much. I've grown to be used to comments like "you're imagining things because you're so tired!" And "Quit being delusional. It's all in your head." Maybe it's because I haven't had a good night sleep in over two years, or maybe it's because when there's a thunderstorm, I start panicking. But in all seriousness, I really hate having recurring nightmares. Especially when they're as bad as mine. I always remember them so vividly after I wake up so I can write them down in my journal. I've just grown used to everyone calling me a freak, that I've just stopped showing emotion. While I was trapped in my own thoughts like a prisoner sitting at my desk, my eyelids began to grow heavy, and soon enough, I was dozing off, until a clap of thunder was heard. That sent me shooting Awake "Oh come on..." it's like even GOD doesn't want me to fall asleep. How cruel...despite me disrespecting god in my head, my body started shaking. I was beginning to have a panic attack. So, thinking quickly, I opened my window, slipped out onto the roof, closed the window behind me, grasped at a tree branch, and slid down onto the grass, which was wet from the heavy rain, and with no time to lose, I made my way to the only house that I really felt safe in other than my own home...

Tsukki's perspective

I groaned a little and sat back in my chair, rubbing my shoulder, which was stiff from me leaning on it "finally done. I'm gonna get started reviewing for exams-" I was suddenly cut off by a knock at my bedroom door "yes?" I called out. No one answered. I sighed, standing up from my desk and made my way over to the door, ready for My mom to tell me to go to bed, but instead, there was no one there "Huh? ...maybe it was the front door? I'll check" I thought as I quickened my pace down the stairs and to the front door, ignoring the confusion of my own thoughts. I swung the door open, only to find...
"Tadashi? What are you doing here this late at night?" I was, in short, bewildered. Yamaguchi was standing in front of me,
Completely drenched, like he was just asking to get sick. He came all the way here, in shorts and a T-shirt. Barefoot.
IN POURING RAIN?! I put two fingers onto the bridge of my nose and rubbed there for a little bit while letting out a long sigh. "Come on in. You'll get sick." I stepped out of the way so Yamaguchi could stumble in, shivering from the cold. "Wait here, I'll get a towel so you can dry yourself off. Once you're dry, go take a shower. I'll have some clothes ready for when you're done, ok?" I said, walking to the bathroom to get a towel, and by the time I came back, Yamaguchi was huddled against the door, hyperventilating, and crying. So that's why he came here...I see now. I sighed and made my way over to my freckled friend, gently putting the towel onto his hair. "There, now dry yourself off, ok? I'll get some clothes for you" Yamaguchi weakly Smiled at me "Thank you, Tsukki.." He stood up and started drying himself off as I went to get the shower ready for him, I thought to myself "Why did Yamaguchi come here of all places? He could have gone to sugawara, or Daichi, hell, even the shorty. So why me?" I shook it off as mere speculation as I came back "The showers ready for you, Yamaguchi-" before I could say anything else, Yamaguchi's head was on my chest "T-Tadashi?" I could tell he wasn't ok "After I change clothes and have a shower, can...can we cuddle..?" I looked bewildered, but smiled softly at my small friend "of course, you look like you need it. Now go have a shower before you get sick. You're clothes are on the sink, by the way" he nodded and backed away before going to the bathroom, I sighed and headed up to my room. Once I was in my room, I changed into my pajamas, and got into bed. Before I knew it, I had fallen fast asleep.

Yamaguchi's perspective

I had only just gotten out of the shower, wearing a set of Tsukki's clothes. Once I was in his room, I looked over to the bed and saw he was already asleep. I smiled a little before getting into the bed as well, snaking my arms around his back, and when I thought no one was listening, I whispered so only Tsukki could hear if he was awake. "I love you.." I guess he was awake because not even two seconds later, Tsukki places his hands onto my waist and gently whispers into my ear "I love you too." And that, was how I had the best nights sleep I have ever had.
