A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in a while 😥, if I don't update for a bit just know I'm either busy or just slow, I'm not ever going to abandon this without finishing it. Literally halfway through writing I went to draw a Makoto fan art. I don't even draw 😭
Makoto's POV
I start cleaning up the board game me and Byakuya were playing. I had fun even though I lost by a lot. I don't really mind, Byakuya looked really smug when he beat me, but I could tell he didn't mean it too much. It was cute.
I'm just glad he enjoys spending time with me. Surprised, but glad.
I stop cleaning the game up for a second to look up at Byakuya. He's staring down at me. I feel my face go red, and Byakuya looks away. I do the same and quickly look back down to finish cleaning up, and once I do, I place the lid on the Monopoly box.
"I'll put the box back when I leave tomorrow." Byakuya tells me. Oh yeah! Byakuya is going to stay here all night! I totally forgot. I smile up at Byakuya and look at the time. We still have a while till night, so we decide to get food.
When Byakuya comes back with our dinner, we eat slowly. We talk for a while, and when he leaves to go put our dishes back, I feel lonely even though I know he's only going to be gone for a few minutes.
Byakuya looks to be deep in thought when he enters, but quickly snaps out of it once he sits next to me on the bed.
"The nighttime announcement should play soon." He speaks quietly.
"Yeah..." I feel my face heat up from the awkward silence. We are both tired, and that's probably why we're like this. But still I feel a little embarrassed.
"Koto."
I look up at Byakuya. Our faces closer than I thought they would be.
"That was... fun. I want to do something like that again. I never did anything similar as a kid, and I want you to share more things like that for us to do."
"Yeah, okay. I will..." We fall back into silence, but neither of us attempt to speak. Our faces inch closer together and oh my god are we about to-
*Ding Dong Bing Bong*
"Eek!" I jump, and almost fall off the bed. Byakuya looks like he's about to start laughing at me.
"Idiot." I hear Byakuya mumble, but he smiles slightly while he says it to tell me he's not so serious.
He smiled. He doesn't do that often, he normally smirks, but it's nothing like this. Does he like me, then? He has been acting different lately, nicer, and that smile... and also the fact he almost just kissed me too. Almost. I look down quickly, so he doesn't see my red face.
"W-we should probably get ready to sleep then..." I trail off, my words becoming jumbled from my nerves.
"Yeah." Byakuya responds, and I try to go get ready for bed before I explode, but before I can get up Byakuya puts his hand on the side of my face. He looks over me, especially looking at my lips. His thumb caresses my cheek and after a full minute of this he lets go.
I get up as fast as I can to go get ready for bed.

Byakuya's POV
*Ding Dong Bing bong*
When I wake up my stomach flips, and I'm incredibly confused by the situation I find myself in. I try thinking back to what happened last night that could've gotten me into this predicament. I fully wake up, and remember what caused Makoto to be on the bed next to me.
I blush a deep red, my brain putting together the pieces.
Last night at around 1 am, Makoto complained about a draft by his bed, (a vent I presume) and me being delirious from sleep, offered him to stay in my bed. (lol u thought)
Thinking about it now, I realize how dumb I was. Why would I allow him to sleep on the same bed with me, it's just going to end in me getting embarrassed, or something. I lay back down, but turn towards Makoto. He looks so cute...
Then I remember the thing that woke me up. The morning announcement played! I was lost in my thoughts, trying to remember what happened, but I need to get up now!
Kyoko is always here early after the announcement plays, and I've surely used up all of my time!
Clicking heels in the hallway remind me of just how little time I have.
I rush out of the bed, trying to look occupied with getting ready. Kyoko walks through the door and looks at me.
"Oh I thought you would be ready by now. Your always ready early." Kyoko sits down in a chair by the wall.
"I lost track of time." I speak, and start to comb my hair. I finish and turn around to look at her.
She looks at Makoto and frowns. She then looks back and forth from me to him for a couple seconds.
"Isn't that where you sleep? Makoto is always on the other bed." Kyoko says, looking at Makoto.
I get flustered, but compose myself. Why does she have to be so observant.
"No, not that I remember. Maybe he switched beds when I was out of the room yesterday." I manage to stay calm, and just say the first thing that comes to my head. I've always been a good liar.
"Oh alright." Kyoko seems to believe me, but the way she stares at me in silence, with a big smirk on her face tells me she may know what's going on.
After I get fully ready, I walk to Kyoko. Now I have fully composed myself, so I try to come up with a new topic so I can stop thinking about cuddling with Makoto. It's not like we did cuddle, but I wish we did...
I snap out of it, and indulge in conversation with Kyoko.
"Why can't Makoto stay in his dorm? One of us will still be with him to make sure he's okay, but why are we in the nurses office still?" I make sure to ask something important before my mind drifts back to Makoto. Though I guess my question is still about Makoto. I really do think about him more than I realize.
"You really just get straight to the point don't you? Anyway, if you haven't noticed by now I'm not a doctor. The stitches I put in were necessary, but I doubt they are the best. If the stitches open up, it's best if Makoto is already here." Kyoko places her hand on her chin, and I notice she is speaking all of her thoughts to me. Normally, she gathers up her information and carefully speaks in a way whoever she's speaking to will understand best, or speaks to get her point across. I can tell she does that because I do something similar. I can see how she's speaking right as thoughts come to her now, and I can't help but feel glad about that. I almost smile. I feel like I can share my thoughts to her too. Are we really friends now? I never expected that.
Kyoko sighs. "He's also less likely to open the stitches if he's laying in here, than if he's moving around his room... but I think it's fine if he goes back to his room soon." She smiles up at me. "We just have to make sure he stays safe." Before I was only really expressing my feelings to Makoto, but I can't help but smile back at Kyoko.
She looks a little surprised, but she returns to her signature smirk soon. She grabs a chair from behind her, and slides it next to her own chair. She pats the seat for me to sit down, and I do.
"So why is Makoto in your bed?"
I sigh, and reluctantly explain to Kyoko what happened, and she looks quite disappointed.
"Come on, something interesting had to happen."
I look over at Makoto. "Well one thing did happen, actually." She looks intrigued. "Well almost happed. I think we were about to kiss but the nighttime announcement played..." I keep my voice down, scared Makoto isn't actually sleeping and will hear me.
"Really?! Did Makoto seem like he wanted to kiss you too?" She asks out of nowhere.
"Yeah...?"
"So, it's seems he likes you too. Your not allowed to chicken out of telling him you like him, or else."
"I know." I'm too scared to ask what she means by the 'or else' part.
At this point, Makoto starts to wake up.
"You should get breakfast for yourself. I want to talk to Makoto first, so I'll get him food later."
"All right." I get up, and smile down at Kyoko. "I'll talk to you later."
She smiles back up at me, then I walk out of the room with the monopoly box.
I'm nervous about telling Makoto how I feel, but I'm also exited to get closer to him. I feel similarly about Kyoko. I am exited to get to know her better, she has always been mysterious. I've never had a friend like her.
I can't believe I'm feeling this way, but I can't wait for tomorrow.
