Summary
This, too, isn’t necessarily out-of-character for his boyfriend, though that doesn’t mean it isn’t worrying. Sunny likes to be coddled when he’s upset, but when something particularly serious happens, it’s not uncommon for him to need some time alone when he first gets home.
Kel traces his thumb over the seam on one of the couch cushions, squashing the irrational worry that he did something wrong, and that’s why Sunny hadn’t acknowledged him. He knows better than to think that. And they don’t really fight, either, him and Sunny; they’re both good enough at communicating (Sunny especially immediately tells Kel whenever he’s crossed any boundaries, whereas Kel usually has to take some time to even identify what’s upset him) that they typically manage to head off any conflict before it can arise. Sunny likes his space, yeah, but he knows Kel gets anxious and he does his best to mitigate that.
So he probably just had a rough day out and needs some time alone. That’s cool.

Sunny takes space when he needs it; Kel works through irrational fears from the past.

Summary
“Hm.” Sunny won’t mind the extra time with Kel, but he does comment as he steps through the door, “We can’t take too long. Mari needs this stuff.”
Kel nods eagerly, falling into quick step behind Sunny as they make their way down the front steps. A peppy grin comes onto his face, and it’s cute, so Sunny beckons him down a little to kiss him right on his dimple.
“Got it!” Kel chirps, a little airily from the kiss. “I’ll be on my best behaviour, don’t worry about it!”
Kel is usually pretty good. He does have personal space issues, though—none that Sunny particularly minds, but that’s beside the point—so Sunny surreptitiously shoots Mari a text on their way to Kel’s truck, letting her know that it might be more like 45 minutes than half an hour. She responds with a little basketball emoji and a heart, and Sunny leaves her on read.

Summary
“I got a lot done,” Sunny tells him, soft and conspiratorial. “Sorry for waking you up though.”
“S’okay.” Kel yawns, tipping his forehead in against Sunny’s in an affectionate bonk of his own. “Wasn’t really asleep.”
The unspoken part is that he never sleeps his best without Sunny in the bed. Maybe he’s gotten dependent or overly attached—maybe it’s a bad thing in case one of them ever has to travel somewhere alone. Kel is hard pressed to care about it. Sunny has been here at his side as a constant for the past six years and it’s hard to imagine him going anywhere. To prove his point, Kel adjusts his face and snags Sunny’s lips in a kiss, seemingly right before he’s about to respond by the little huff of air Sunny lets out.
He’s still smiling, though; Kel can feel it making the kiss awkward.

Sunny crawls into bed late; he and Kel make the most of their time anyway.

Summary
“What’s up?” Kel asks, popping one eye open. “You find it?”
“No, but…” Aubrey picks out a yen coin with a hole in it, turning it over in her fingers. “You’ve never been to Japan, have you?”
“Eh? Nah.” Kel waves her off, but grins at the sight of the coin. “Sunny gave me it. It’s cool, right?”
Aubrey looks like she agrees, but still says, “It’s a coin,” before dropping it back into the drawer. She emerges with a bird feather, then a bitten orange crayon, her nose wrinkling at the latter. “Man, what is this crap?”
“Don’t call it crap,” Kel responds, a little defensively. “Plus, Aubs, it probably won’t be in there. That’s the boyfriend drawer.”
“The boyfrie—huh?”

Aubrey discovers Kel's "collection" while looking for a necklace she lost.

Summary
The kitten is obviously wary, but responds well when Sunny clicks his tongue, and sniffs curiously at his fingertips. With a cautious meow, the cat sticks out a paw and carefully clambers into Sunny’s arms. It’s usually not good to coddle a shy animal right away, but Sunny isn’t exactly working under ideal circumstances right now, so all he can really do is do his best to be gentle as he tucks the kitten in against his collar. It earns him a little meow of dissatisfaction, but the kitten relaxes quickly, tail flicking against his back.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Sunny flexes one of his hands against the cold wood. He might’ve gotten a splinter, but it’s fine, since the kitty is secured now. He readjusts his hold on the branch he’s gripping, looking down to plan his path back to the ground, and—
A wave of dizziness hits him, abruptly. Oh, he is so much higher than he thought he was.

Sunny climbs a tree to save a cat and gets himself into some trouble.

Summary
“Oh my god, it’s totally a love note,” Basil bursts out the moment the thought enters Sunny’s head. He lets out a sigh, choosing to ignore his friend again and tracing his thumb along the edge of the letter. There’s nothing about the envelope that gives any clues as to who could have delivered it, and the fact that it was typed means that he can’t try and pick them out by the handwriting. Which then means…
Well, what? Sunny supposes all it really means is that he’ll have to be up on the roof after school if he wants to find out who gave it to him. He tucks the letter and envelope into his binder, then closes his locker with a definitive huff. No point in thinking on it until later, then, if that’s the case. Not like dwelling is going to get him the answers he wants.
“Isn’t that exciting?” Basil asks, and really, Sunny thinks Basil might be more into this whole thing than he is. “You have a secret admirer! It’s like something out of a movie.”

Sunny receives an anonymous love letter.
