Chapter 02 -In which you are my comfort

There were times in middle school when Misaki would use Saruhiko's legs as his pillow, throwing out excuses that he was so tired, that he couldn't sleep at home. But even though Misaki never said anything, Saruhiko knew it was because Misaki's parents were always fighting and they rarely paid attention to him. That was probably the reason why Misaki always raised his voice: he wanted to be heard.

Saruhiko clicked his tongue and stared at the boy on his lap. His eyes were closed, though he knew Misaki wasn't asleep. Saruhiko ran a hand through Misaki's hair, startling him for a second before he relaxed when recognizing the familiar touch of Saruhiko's hand.

The hands Misaki liked the most, the hands that make him feel at ease.

Misaki opened his eyes at the sound of the bell, signaling that classes were starting again. He bit his lower lip in discomfort; just when he was feeling better, that damned bell had to ring. Sulkily, he made to get up, when a hand pushed him back into his previous position.

"Saru?" he stared at the other boy in confusion. Saruhiko didn't skip classes; he was the goddamn class rep, albeit a very lazy one, but he still never skipped classes… or at least Misaki never saw him do it.

"It's okay, Misaki~"

Misaki was about to yell at Saruhiko for calling him by his first name when Saruhiko ran a hand through his hair, and then, little by little, he started to feel sleepy. Before he lost consciousness, he could have sworn he heard Saruhiko say "Have sweet dreams." while chuckling.

'I'll have them, as long as you're with me,' …not that Misaki would ever say it out loud, of course.
