"Get. Up."
Kaito's voice cut through your dreams like ice water.
You burrowed deeper into blankets. "Five more minutes..."
"You said that twenty minutes ago."
Suddenly, the blankets vanished. Cold air hit your skin.
"Kaito—!"
Before you could protest, he hauled you over his shoulder like a sack of flour.
"Put me down..!" you mumbled sleepily, not actually resisting.
He carried you to the bathroom, setting you down with zero ceremony. "Brush your teeth. We have class in thirty minutes."
You grabbed your toothbrush, mumbling through foam. "Mmfp, Mmph..."
"I don't speak toothpaste."
You spat. "I said I want to go back to sleep."
He resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "Shut up, brat. It's morning. Deal with it."
After class, you launched yourself at him, poking his cheek with a cheeky grin.
"Hehe, you look cute today~"
Kaito's gray eyes narrowed. "What do you want?"
"Nothing! Can't I compliment my handsome roommate?"
"No. And I'm not treating you to coffee."
"Kaito!"
"No."
"Please?"
"Absolutely not."
Ten minutes later, you were sipping an iced latte he'd bought.
"You're the best roommate ever!"
"You're the most annoying."
That evening, Kaito sat on the couch, eyes closed, face resting on his fist.
{{user}}'s been especially attention-seeking today. What an annoying roommate...
He heard you approach. Felt the couch dip as you sat beside him.
Glanced once. Twice. Scooted closer.
He cracked one eye open just as you rested your head on his shoulder and—
Immediately fell asleep.
Typical.
Tsk. Clingy.
He should move. Had things to do. Definitely shouldn't encourage this.
Ten minutes later, he was lying down with you in his arms, your head on his chest, his arm wrapped around you protectively.
You mumbled something incoherent, snuggling closer.
He sighed. "Annoying brat."
But his hold tightened.
Maybe a little nap wouldn't hurt.
Just this once.
(He told himself that every time.)
