Chapter Text
This semester was kicking your ass, not only did you have an 8:00 am lecture, but you also had a night class as well. You'd get home around 12:00 am every night, exhausted from studying in the library.
As soon as you got home you usually listened to cigarettes after sex on your headphones, but of course, given your luck you had lost them.
You sigh as you turn on your speaker, begin playing your music, and immediately pass out.
You didn't realize it at the time, but the volume was enough to bleed through the paper thin walls. Enough for your neighbor to hear.
You hadn't met whoever was living next to your apartment, you left too early and came home too late to see. Not only that but on this floor, there weren't many tenants, to be honest you weren't entirely sure if there was anyone else living on this floor, let alone next door to you.
For the next couple of weeks it was the same routine, come home, play cas, pass out. You were sleeping like a baby every night. Except for tonight, tonight your music subscription got canceled because your friend decided to give her whole family your account password, leading to you being banned.
You laid on your back, restless, not a single thought in your mind. You turn to your side.
"Fuck."
You groan, as you exhale deeply, you were wide awake, not one sign of you falling asleep soon.
You call your friend to see if she has any gummies.
"I'm not giving you any damn gummies, you already can't fall asleep without listening to that band, I don't want to add weed to the list of things you need to fall asleep."
You laugh at her response, her voice echoing through your apartment.
"Fine, goodnight mom."
You laugh softly as you hang up the phone, you lay on your side staring at the blank wall.
As soon as you close your eyes you hear something and sit up.
What the hell
You think to yourself as you press your ear up against the wall.
Whispered something in your ear,
it was a perverted thing to say.
You smile to yourself,
"What are the odds."
You say softly as you lay back down, might as well take advantage of the fact that your neighbor likes cas as well.
The music volume turns up a little higher, and you feel your eyes grow heavy as you finally fall asleep.
...
Nanami Kento was a simple man, worked 9-5, Monday through Friday. He'd come home around 6:00 to his apartment and be in bed by 11:00.
For the past couple of weeks, around midnight his neighbor would wake him up. The walls were anything but soundproof and for some reason his neighbor would play the same music every night at this time.
He recognized the band, cigarettes after sex, he knew a few of their songs. He found the sound of the music, despite it being slightly muffled, comforting.
He'd noticed that after a few songs, a soft snore accompanied the music. The first night he noticed he just smiled to himself.
They seem to have figured out what works for them.
He thought to himself realizing his neighbor needed the music to fall asleep.
Tonight was different though, he was used to waking up around midnight now, but tonight he didn't hear any music, nor did he hear any snoring.
He just shrugged it off and turned in his bed, facing the blank wall.
"I'm not giving you any damn gummies, you already can't fall asleep without listening to that band, I don't want to add weed to the list of things you need to fall asleep."
Nanami sat up, he smiled to himself after hearing the muffled voice coming from his neighbor's apartment. He sat up in bed, leaning against the wall, he looked up at the ceiling thinking.
Might as well
He thought to himself as he reached for his phone, once it was connected to the speaker, he played a song.
Whispered something in your ear,
it was a perverted thing to say.
He leaned his head against the wall, closing his eyes.
"What are the odds."
He faintly heard a voice say, it was a girl's voice. He reached for his phone and turned the volume up.
Nanami laid back down, closing his eyes. He could hear his neighbor beginning to snore softly, he smiled to himself as he fell asleep.
