Work Text:
Reigen and Serizawa walk out of the bar.
"Tonight was fun." Reigen said.
Nothing really happened tonight. They just talked and drank, but Reigen drank too much. Well- "tall-glass" much. He drank it really fast.
"Nothing really happenes tonight, Reigen-san. We just drank."
"Anything with you is fun. Especially drinking."
Serizawa wasn't sure if Reigen was flirting or not. Even if he was, he wasn't sure if he meant it or not. Either way, he blushed.
"Katsuya.. your face.... you're so.. red.." Reigen swayed.
"You should see yours." He chuckled.
Suddenly, Reigen held a firm grip on his arm.
"A-are you alright, Reigen-san?"
"Mm, yeah.. just a bit tired."
Serizawa took that as a sign and carried him on his back.
"You didn't have to do that. I can walk fine."
"I know, but people who say they're 'just a bit tired' are lying."
"Welp. You know where I live." After that Reigen fell asleep on his shoulder.
Reigen is really warm. Serizawa can feel a few tiny pricks on his neck, but felt the soft orange hair on his cheeks.

When they got to Reigen's apartment, Serizawa used his powers to unlock the door. Once he opened it, he was greeted with a few scattered shoes on the door way. In the kitchen, there was one unwashed glass and plate. The glass had a little bit of water in it. The coffee maker was off, but it was half-filled with cold coffee. In the living room, there were papers scattered and a few bottles and cans of beer.
Reigen's bedroom was quite small. His bed was at the leftside by the wall and there was a desk a few meters away from the bed. His room was quite messy, a few socks and clothes scattered on the floor.
Serizawa set Reigen down on his bed. He stretched after long minutes of carrying the man.
He was quite tired from carrying him and walking home, so he took a break by sitting by his bed for awhile.
Serizawa checked the time, it was 1:06am. His apartment was quite nearby too, just a 30-minute walk. After checking the man, he heard a low groan and the sound of shifting on the bed.
Reigen's body was now turned to him. He was slightly drooling. His breathing was slow. He looked very.. relaxed. It looked nice. He looked nice.
Then slowly, the pair of eyes slowly opened. Calmly. It's not usually something you'd see. He usually waked up as if he had a nightmare during his naps in the office.
"Hey." He smiled.
"H-hey!" Serizawa jumped.
"How long have you been here?"
Serizawa turned to his phone to check what time it was, it was now 1:10am. Last time he checked it was 1:06am. So he'd been here for 10 minutes. He realized that he had been staring at the man for almost 5 minutes. He heated up at the realization.
"It's 1:10."
"You don't have to go home right now, it's late and you're probably very tired. You can crash tonight."
"It's fine, a 30-minute walk won't hurt, plus I dont know where to sleep." Serizawa stood up.
"Well..if you won't mind, you can sleep beside me." Reigen offered as he moved to give him some space.
This is an opportunity that Serizawa wouldn't miss. This would be the time he was THAT CLOSE with Reigen. This could be a one-time only thing. Or this could lead to something more than a one-time thing.
Serizawa accepted the proposal by placing down their jackets and stuff then laid on Reigen's bed.
Reigen smiled and hugged him.
Serizawa thought he drifted off to sleep when he saw his eyes closed.
"You were staring at me, were you?"
"Y-yeah.. sorry, I got a bit carried away."
"Even last week?"
"Yeah.."
"Even a few hours ago?"
"Yeah.."
"Mm. That's okay, I look at you too." Reigen looked up at him
"W-what?"
"I- if that makes you uncomfortable, sorry.."
"I-it's fine.. it's just... do you feel.. you know... do you feel that when you do it at least?" That was quite vague, Serizawa thought.
"What do you mean by that ?"
"That nice feeling."
Reigen fell silent for awhile.
"Yeah.."
"Then, I do too."
Reigen chuckled and pulled him closer then actually drifted to sleep.
Serizawa shifted and hugged him back. He was glad he didn't leave.
