Work Text:
Byakuya's eyelids were ready to give up at any moment. It was already 2 a.m. and he was still working on that stupid project. Sometimes he thought that the teachers actually wanted to kill him, assigning a project due tomorrow, well, today, at like 10 p.m.? What the actual hell.
He tiredly rubbed his eyes as he continued working and working and working... The bright computer screen and the dark room made his eyes hurt a bit but he didn't care about that. He just wanted to finish that goddamn project so he can turn it in in time and have some nice time with his boyfriend who was sleeping on the couch behind him.
Alright...How many words have we got here..? 227? And how much do we need? 600? Ah...Nice..And then some pictures, facts and opinions... Should I make a presentation for extra points?
Byakuya noticed that his head began to hurt slightly but he ignored it. Work. He had to work. Just calm down and concentrate. Dont close your eyes. Look at the screen and type.
Where did that headache even come from? Maybe he should get some more coffee. But the coffee machine is too loud and it will wake up Makoto... He didn't want to interrupt his boyfriends sleep, Makoto was tired and needed to rest. Those art teachers have been really biting him lately.
He tried to focus on his work but his thoughts would just drift away somewhere and think about something else. Forget the coffee, I'll just go get those Moster Energy drinks Leon had gifted us... I heard they contain caffeine too.
Byakuya didn't really like drinking sodas or any other high sugar beverages but sometimes, once in a while, he would drink them. He made his way to their kitchen and opened the pantry and saw a few different cans of the drink. It wasn't too dark in the kitchen so he could read the names of each.
Ultra paradise, ultra gold, ultra violet, zero ultra...Why is everything ultra? Juice? What the hell does that even mean... Pacific punch? Sounds more interesting, I'll go with that I guess.
Grabbing the 'Pacific Punch' can he carefully closed the pantry and was about to open the can when he heard a sleepy voice from behind.
"Byakuya..? Why aren't you sleeping..hm?" - Makoto asked him, rubbing his eyes and waiting for an answer.
"I uh, was working on a project..." - the blonde answered quietly, turning around and putting the can on the the counter.
"Y'know thas bad for your health, right?" - Makoto seemed more awake now as he came closer to Byakuya, looking at him with a slightly sad expression.
"Makoto, I need to work..." - it seemed like Byakuya was telling that more himself than the brunette. He didn't like seeing his boyfriend sad because of him, but he had to work.
"No you don't. You're just overworking yourself again...I don't like it when you do that..." - Makoto said in an obviously upset and disappointed tone and hugged Byakuya's waist. A bit startled, the blonde hugged him back.
"Sorry, love, I just want everything to be done perfectly.." - he whispered, the brunette just hugged him tighter. Makoto could feel and hear Byakuya's heartbeat. One, two, one, two, one, two...
A part of Makoto wanted to stay like this for a little longer but another part of him wanted to go back to sleep. They stayed like that for a minute or two when the brunette finally pulled away.
"Sorry, 'Kuya, but I reaalllyyyy want to sleep"
Byakuya smiled and pecked Makoto's cheek.
"Sorry, love. I'll just finish my essay and the-"
"No! No more essays, projects and all of that stuff! You're going to sleep, end of story" - Makoto interrupted him in a more childish tone than a commanding one. The blonde chuckled softly.
"Hun, I've have to fin-"
"I said, END OF STORY!" - without giving Byakuya a chance to respond, Makoto grabbed his arm and dragged him to their room.
When they got to their room, the brunette closed the door, literally threw Byakuya on the bed, despite being so much shorter than him, and jumped onto the bed next to him. They both got under the covers and warm blankets, smiling.
Byakuya hugged Makoto from behind and snuggled his face into the brunette's neck and shoulder.
"I love you" - Byakuya whispered already half asleep.
"I love you too" - Makoto replied, already half asleep too.
