umemiya was always a light sleeper, meaning nightmares or discomfort kept him awake for hours. his remedy? gardening. it wasn't uncommon to find him outside on the balcony or on the roof of Furin High School tending to his plants.

on this particular night, you were tossing and turning with the loss of heat on hajime's side of the bed. eventually waking up, his side of the bed was empty with no hajime. turning to the bedside table, the white light of the digital alarm clock read 2am

getting up, you wrapped a blanket around yourself prepared to go outside into the chilly autumn night. groggy and still half-asleep, you dragged your feet to the balcony, already aware that hajime would be outside tending to the flowers he had planted in the multiple planters on the balcony

there you saw him, crouched in front of his delicate flowers, watering them

"hajime..."

you called out groggily, rubbing your eyes as you tried to shake the sleep

his head shot around as he heard you and instantly got up, noticing your sleepy state

"hey love.. you should be asleep-"

he said, gently bringing his hands up to cup your face
