Work Text:
the room was silent and nearly pitch black. the only source of light was the moon emitting light through the closed curtains of a window. the window was open, a pleasant cool air flowing inside the room. a certain blond-hair boy lay his back flat against the bed, scrolling aimlessly on social media, liking whatever he saw— he didnt even bother reading the post. just like, scroll, like, scroll, repeat. its as though his thumb was on autopilot, or at least had a mind of its own. he quickly peeked at the time.
2:19am.
he sighed, setting his phone down as he stared at the ceiling. surprise! there was nothing. he was having so much trouble falling asleep, but why?? what made him struggle so much??
he turned to his side, staring at the empty space next to him.
the space that tsuzuru was supposed to be sleeping in. sleeping so peacefully...
ah... perhaps that was why he was having so much trouble?
tsuzuru was currently studying overseas to practice his writing. he wanted to get better (even though he's already a pro), so he decided to go after getting an offer. he would be gone for about a month or so.
"ill miss you, tsuzurun~!! dont go!!" kazunari pouted, embracing the other male so tight he thought he might die of asphyxiation. "dont worry–" he barelt managed to choke out. he released himself of kazunari's hold, looking fondly at the male. "ill be back before you know it." he kissed kazunari, and kazunari responded to the peck by jumping ontop of him and attacking him with even more kisses.
tsuzuru was late to his flight. whoops.
aaand we're back to reality. kazunari laughed wholeheartedly at the memory. tsuzurun has to deal with so much thanks to him, but he knows he still loves him (no matter how many times he tells the male "i am so tired of you.") (kazunari knows he isn't because tsuzuru is smiling as he says this). kazunari rolls on the bed, flailing his limbs like a love-sick teenager. "ahh, tsuzuroon is so CUTE!!!!" he screams.
once he got his energy out he sighed once more, tears threatening to leave his eyes. "i miss him.."
he grabbed his phone, opened his contacts and before he knew it he was calling tsuzuru. at two in the morning. what time was it over there anyway? hopefully it wasnt too late for tsuzuru.
after two rings, tsuzuru picked up. the first thing kazunari heard was shuffling noises. had he woken him up?
"tsuzurun? earth to tsuzurun!!!"
"huh?"
why did he sound so confused?
"tsuzurun!!!" he called out to him again.
"kaz?"
"yeah?"
"kaz?????"
"yeah??????????"
"ah, found it." the sound of a zipper was heard and tsuzuru's voice was clear.
"hi, kaz. i lost my phone. turns out it was buried in my bookbag," tsuzuru chuckled. "i thought i had gone insane. you have no idea how scared i was when i heard your voice out of nowhere."
"aww, do you miss me that much? thats so sweet!" kazunari teased.
"you say that, but do you want to tell me what time it is over there? its two in the morning. why are you calling me so late? you should be sleeping."
"hey, you have no right to say those things to me. who is the mankai playwright that's known for staying up for days on end and then passes out when a script is complete?"
kazunari didnt need to see tsuzuru to know that he was shaking his head.
"okay, right.. thats fair but, still. this isn't like you. what's keeping you up so late?"
"i miss you," kazunari's tone became serious all of a sudden. tsuzuru was taken aback, he didn't expect that response. especially from kazunari.
after brief silence, tsuzuru started laughing again. "you're so weird. hang on," kazunari waited for a moment, confused. soon beeping came from his phone. he looked at the screen, noticing tsuzuru was attempting to video call him. kazunari stood up, a sudden burst of excitement surging through him. he accepted without a second thought, finally seeing his loved one after like— two days. tsuzuru waved at him. kazunari had never been more happy to see his boyfriends disheveled appearance. (he was always ecstatic to see him, dont get him wrong. two days without seeing him though... he's surprised hes still even alive.)
"tsuzurun!! agh, i just wanna ruffle your hair!!" he squealed. tsuzuru blushed, "please don't." the brunette set his phone down, probably on a nightstand, and laid down facing the camera after throwing a blanket over his body. "you should try to sleep. how about we sleep together?" he offered.
"oh. my. god. OF COURSE!!" kazunari quickly grabbed his phone charger, plugging it in and immediately went for his blanket so he could be engulfed in the comforting warmth of the cloth. he gently set his phone down where tsuzuru would've been at. he stared at him in awe, already feeling fatigued.
"love you lots, tsuzurun. g'night."
"goodnight, kaz."
