2:17AM

Unfortunately for you, you've spent the past few hours tossing and turning, unable to sleep because of your sickness. You tried everything but you just couldn't get to sleep. You press your palms to your eyes until you see colours, anything for a momentary distraction, yet nothing was helping.

Beside you, your phone buzzes against the wood of the bedside table. Can't sleep? It was your partner, Shoto. Somehow he always knew if you weren't sleeping well.

You weren't sure whether to respond or not, you didn't want him to worry about you not being able to sleep, yet ultimately, you responded, agreeing to his message and explaining that it was your cold.

Then, a quick response. We can call, if that'll make you feel better. He always knew the best way to make you feel better. You accepted.

when he called, and you answered, his voice was clearly tired, you knew he'd recently just woken up. "I'll stay on call until you fall asleep." He told you, already setting the phone beside him.
