Chapter Text
Hitoshi found it easy to lay sprawled out on the couch, listening to the sound of Shoto flipping his book, in the middle of the night.
Although sleep escaped him, his mind went blissfully blank and he was in a state of sleep and non-sleep.
Shoto relied on the night lamp set on the table for light to read his book. Hitoshi wondered if he could even see the words in the dark. The dorm was very bright and noisy and lively. It was something that Hitoshi was not used to. It was not something Shoto was used to.
Staying up late was a novel situation for Shoto. At home, by the end of the day, he was so tired from training, he was sleeping before his head reached his pillow.
At some point, he was staying up because he could.
When Hitoshi joined their dorm, Shoto gained a companion in the insomniac. They were here in the silence. One reading and the other daydreaming (nightdreaming?).
