Work Text:
It was late, really late.
And by late it was 12 o'clock in the afternoon, which is late to Motomiya Matsuri seeing how she has been working on her project nonstop since yesterday at 10 o'clock. When she finally reached a satisfying checkpoint in her latest creation, the pure exhaustion kicked in instantly. Matsuri was tempted to fall asleep right then and there, but she stopped herself as last time she fell asleep on her desk her neck ached for days.
“To bed I guess.” Matsuri murmured to herself, stretching her arms into the air and letting out a big yawn.
Before trying to stand on her half-asleep legs, there was a small knock on the door to her room and then it opened to reveal her brown-haired roomie.
“Matsuri-chan! Hello!” Akane greeted her roommate with a smile.
“Akane, have you been out?” Matsuri responded.
“I have since 9.” Akane giggled and walked into the room. “I tried to tell you but I received a grunt in response. That’s when I knew you were too far gone into your new doodad and left a sticky note on your desk.”
Matsuri blinked and gazed upon her workspace only to see said note stuck on the edge of the mahogany. ‘Running errands! Be back soon! Try to sleep!’ were the contents of the note and at the end a cute little heart.
“Welcome back then…”
“Haha, thank you!”
Matsuri watched as Akane removed the pom pom hair tie from her hair, releasing the last bit of her pretty light brown hair. She brushed her fingers through the strands as she sat on her bed and laid back, resting her head on her pillow. The September rep pulled out her phone from her pocket and started scrolling through social media, unaware Matsuri went from simply staring to walking up to her bed. That is until Matsuri positioned herself over top of Akane, casting a shadow over her roommate and pulling peachy eyes away from her screen.
“Matsuri-chan?” Akane inquired.
She received no response, only Matsuri laying on top of her and resting her head on her shoulder. Akane was left confused by the sudden embrace until she heard the sound of soft snoring emanating from her roommate.
“Couldn’t make it to your bed hm? Or maybe I serve as a better pillow?” Akane mused with a soft smile and freeing one hand to brush through Matsuri’s short hair.
Matsuri sighed happily, snuggling closer to the point Akane could feel her breath on her neck. Thankfully Akane didn’t mind this, or at least she tried not to in order to calm her heartbeat. Still, her face told all as a dash of pink spread through her cheeks.
“Sleep well Matsuri-chan,” Akane whispered as she rested her head on her roommate’s.
