Chapter Text
Tsukasa walked into the house with Mafuyu next to him. “Goodness Mafuyu” he sighs, “I'm sorry.” Mafuyu just looked at him with dead eyes. “Shush, It’s not your fault. Just please bring an umbrella next time? He says, She hums.
He brings her to the couch, “Wait here, I’ll go get some clothes.” He sits her down before going upstairs to his room.
Mafuyu usually hangs out at his house so he sets aside a spare set of clothes for her. It’s usually just a purple tee with cream colored sweatpants and sweater. He looks down at his own clothes and we hair before deciding to run a bath for both of them.
Tsukasa walks back downstairs to find Mafuyu sitting quietly, “Mafuyu? I ran a bath.” She gets up from the couch and walks over to him, “Thank you.” He thinks (. “She seems so.. Dead? Did her mother do something? I swear that women treats her like garbage! I promise Mafuyu I’ll help you.” .)
He grabs her hand and interlocks it with his, he smiles at her before leading her up the stairs to the bathroom. Mafuyu gets into one of Saki’s swimsuits as Tsukasa gets into his as well before they both get into the bath, they sit there for a while in silence before Tsukasa asks, “Do you need me to wash your hair?”, “Yes please.” she responds. He smiles before getting the shampoo and puts it into her hair.
He admires her a bit before asking her, “Are you alright Mafuyu?” she blinks “How so?”
“I mean you showed up to my house at night, did she do something? Mafuyu tenses up a little at the mention of her mom.
After a moment of silence she responds “I don’t want to talk about it please.” “That’s alright, how about we talk about something different? Like how's your music group?”
“They’re fine, Amia and Enanan recently took me out to a diner. That was nice I suppose.” He smiles at her. “I’m done with your hair, you wanna get out now?” he asks, “Sure”. They both get out and Tsukasa leaves so she can change.
When she finishes he changes next, he comes out of the bathroom and sees her waiting for him, he admires her. Her lips, her hair, her skin, her face, he quickly snaps out of it though when she says his name, ”Tsukasa?” “Ah, sorry Mafuyu! Let’s get to bed.” She nods at him, he interlocks their hands before leading them to his room.
They lay down as Tsukasa wraps his arms around Mafuyu. He knows Mafuyu has a hard time sleeping so before he falls asleep himself, he sings a small lullaby his mother used to sing him.
~The sun sets.
In a silent sky.
Echoing of a passing song.
A long wait for the dawn
A record of time while it glides along.~
Mafuyu slowly falls asleep as Tsukasa kisses her forehead before falling asleep himself.
This was a long night. Will it end here though?
