Noya's POV
----------------------------
This is fine. It's all fine. Everything is normal. I tried to convince myself. There was no way I...nevermind. Suga's taking crazy pills I swear. As I laid there, embarrassed out of mind, my morning alarm went off, signaling it was time to get out of my bed and do something useful with my life. I groan, reluctantly pulling myself out of my comforting sheets and stumbling over to my closet, ignoring the ear piercing ringing of the alarm I was too lazy to shut off. I grab out my school uniform, peeling off the sweaty clothes from last night's restless sleep. The alarm became too much to handle, knowing it would wake my parents if I didn't turn it off. I rush over to it, quickly shutting it off before I heard any angry steps down the hallways from upset and cranky parents. I let out a quiet sigh as I slip into my uniform and grab my bag, making my way to the bathroom to spike up my hair. I feel the little buzz of my phone in my pocket, most likely from Tanaka. As I pull my phone out, another buzz rings, my reminder to take my medication. "shit right..I better go take that," I set the reminder to snooze, knowing it would send me another notification within the next five minutes. I open the message from Tanaka, my face lighting up when I see his name. Dammit what is this..why am I all like..warm inside?!
A wide smile creeps onto my face, my cheeks turning a gentle shade of pink. I shoot back a quick reply, my smile only growing wider as I do. 'Yea! I'll be there soon ;)' And with that, I quickly get ready, grabbing my hair gel and spiking up my hair how it always is; leaving the little blonde strip hanging down in my face. I reach out for my toothbrush, getting some toothpaste on it and brushing my teeth quickly but still effectively, because c'mon, what girl (or guy) would want to kiss me with bad breath? I place my toothbrush back, running out of the bathroom down to the kitchen to take my pill, the reminder going off for the second time. I pop the ADHD medicine in my mouth with a quick swig of water. I hear the steps of my mom upstairs, her steps gentle as she walks around diligently, getting ready for an easy morning. It would be no use spoiling her good mood by saying goodbye. I walk over to the front door, carrying my bag as I slip on my shoes and quietly make my way out. I walk down the street, a bounce in my step as my morning energy begins to build. My stomach swarms with butterflies when I see Tanaka. His strong, broad shoulders hunched over. His delicate face riddled with tiredness. His voice still deep and groggy as he calls out to me. Who wouldn't think this man is perfect beyond compare. Who wouldn't fall head o..ver..NO!! I can't think like this! I'm his best friend..besides, he wouldn't like me that way. My smile begins to fade, my demeanor switching dramatically. I see Tanaka's calloused hand wave in front of my eyes, signaling I had zoned out.
"Yo, dude, where you at? Cause you're definitely not here, what's wrong?" Tanaka questions. His gaze is gentle and laced with worry. 'he doesn't just zone out like this, at least not in the mornings,' he thinks to himself.
"Hm? Oh, sorry I guess I got lost in thought, I didn't sleep well last night," I let out a little chuckle, attempting to play off the fact I hadn't just zoned out overthinking about him. His expression changes, a small sigh leaving his lips, so plump and pink..if only I could..
"Noya, c'mon you know you need to take better care of yourself, you need to get decent sleep! We've talked about this," His face reads something loving, one I know all too well. I know he cares..but just how much? Oh who cares, now isn't the time to be obsessing over this stuff.
-----------Tanaka's POV---------
Something about Noya seems off today. Normally he's all bubbly and excited. It could be from his lack of sleep last night, but even then..he isn't like this. Something definitely isn't right, but I'm not going to push. He'll tell me when he's ready. The walk to school was extra quiet, yet comfortable. Noya's small frame bouncing next to me. Even on an off day there's still that bounce in his step, it's so cute. At this point I have completely accepted my feelings for Noya. They were definitely much more than platonic, that's for sure. I would even say that I've fallen in love with him. I mean who couldn't?! His spunky attitude that can switch to a cuddly clingy baby so quickly. The way he doesn't give a shit about who you are, he'll draw you in. His eyes...those are my favorite. They drip the beautiful chocolate, shining and shimmering in the light. His gaze is different for everyone. His hair has just as much emotion as him, drooping a bit when something's wrong. His hair is drooping a little right now. He's definitely not okay but I won't push anything.
As we make our way past the gate of the school, I hear a snicker. It was from Suga-san behind us. I look back, confusion filling my face. "Heyy what's so funnyyyy?" Suga just snickers again and mumbles, "Oh nothing~" And with that he walks off in front of us, running up to his two boyfriends, Daichi and Asahi. I let out a little chuckle, a smile growing on my face. I look back down at Noya, running my fingers through his hair. "Hey, earth to Noya, come back to meeeeee," I let out another little chuckle, seeing his little flinch as he comes back, smiling at me.
"Heyyyy, it took like- 15 minutes to do my hair todayyyy," His face says it all, he wasn't mad, he was amused. A fake pout covering his face, a wide smile growing under it. All I do is smile and roll my eyes, still running my hands through his hair. His hair is so soft...holy shit what shampoo does he use- His face twists, a light blush dusting his cheeks as he looks down. That was...kinda strange. It looked like he was almost...blushing?!
