The front door opens around six o’clock, and instead of the usual rushed sound of Sloan kicking off their boots, you hear two quiet thuds. Instead of the excited running to the couch that you were waiting for them on, you hear lethargic footsteps trudging towards you.
“Sloan?” you call out.
Usually they would perk up at your voice, literally jumping onto the couch where you were waiting, but this time they answer back with “Mm-hm?” The TV, volume on low, nearly drowns them out. You keep your eye on the entrance to the living room, watching as they walk in, eyes staring at the floor, ears nearly flat on their head.
“What’s wrong?” They shrug before looking up at you. There are bags under their eyes, darker and deeper than usual, and their eyes lack the light that usually shone through.
“Long day, I guess.” They collapse on top of you, wrapping you in a bear hug and burying their face in your chest. Your hands automatically come up to the mop of hair on their head, stroking their ears gently.
“Do you wanna talk about it?”
“Nuh-uh.” They let out a deep sigh. “Nothing really happened, I just missed you.”
“Aw, baby.” You rub at the back of their ears with a little more pressure, which they groan quietly at. “I missed you, too. You’re off tomorrow, right?” They nod. “We can spend all day together, promise. Do you want to go to the beach?”
They look up at you. “Just wanna stay in with you. Can we watch Studio Ghibli movies? I still haven’t seen Howl.”
“Mi vida, I don’t think that movie’s about what you think it is.”
“Why would it be called Howl then? What other animal howls?”
“Howler monkeys?”
“Don’t count.” You let out a laugh, and they smile, laying back in your chest. “I love your laugh, amor.” They rest for another minute before they roll onto their back, eyes closed. “Tell me about your day.”
“I didn’t do much,” you start.
“That’s okay, I just wanna hear you talk.” You rub Sloan’s scalp with the tips of your fingers as you tell them about what you did while they were gone. Cleaning the kitchen, doing some laundry, starting some sitcom before realizing that they would probably want to watch it with you, turning on reruns of the Office to fill the void they leave when they’re not home instead.
“I did some baking, too,” you remember. Their ears perk up at this.
“What’d you make?”
“Guess.”
“Hmm…” They open their eyes, looking up at you as they think. “Cake? Cookies?”
“Nope, nope.”
“Brownies?”
“Not quite.”
“Oh!” They sit up, turning around to look at you. You can see their tail wagging a bit, but you can hear the distinct thump of it against the couch clearly. “Did you make churros?”
You grin. “How did you guess?”
“Did you make chocolate sauce to go with them?” Their eyes are full of hope, sparkling in a way that the sun could never hope to replicate.
“Baby, you know chocolate makes you sick.”
“Chocolate makes everyone sick if they have enough!”
“You can barely eat a tablespoon before your stomach starts hurting.”
They pout. “Maybe I just want you to rub my tummy.”
You place a hand on their cheek, leaning in to kiss them on their forehead. “I made the carob dip to go with them.”
“It’s not the same…” They drag the last word out. “But I guess it’ll do.” You roll your eyes at them.
“I can make a tiny bit of chocolate sauce to go with them, if you really want.”
“I really, really, really want.” Sloan wraps their hands around yours, still resting on their cheek. “Pretty please?”
You give in. “I’ll make it tomorrow, before we watch the movie. You just want tummy rubs, don’t you?”
“Maaaybe…” They flash you a smile before letting it fade slightly. “Thank you for cheering me up.”
You cock your head slightly. “I didn’t do anything, though.”
“Yeah, but just…” they let out a sigh. “Being around you cheers me up. Talking to you cheers me up. You’re like my puppy.” You blink at them, causing them to swat your arm. “You know what I mean!”
“I know, I just like giving you shit.” You reflect their smile back at them. “I’m glad you feel better. I love you, Sloan. I want to make you happy.”
“I love you, too, (Y/N). You make me happy every day. I love getting to come home to you.” You lean closer into them, putting your hand on their other cheek before capturing their lips in a gentle kiss. After a moment, the two of you pull away.
“Do you want to watch the sitcom I was telling you about?”
“Yeah!” they bark. “What’s it about?”
“It’s sort of like the office, but it’s set in like, a WalMart. I watched like five minutes of the first episode before I realized it’s totally up your alley.”
“You watched five whole minutes without me?” They pout at you once again. “How could you?”
“Baby, you watched half of My Neighbor Totoro without me.”
“I thought you had seen it before! I swear you had said you’d seen it before.”
You shake your head. “Nope, and we still need to finish it, too.”
Sloan yawns, laying their head back on your chest and snuggling in, facing the TV. “We should watch it tomorrow. After Howl.”
You nod, kissing the top of their head, right between their ears. “After Howl.”
The two of you fall asleep on the couch, in a position that would normally be uncomfortable but somehow works for the two of you. Sloan has one leg over yours, holding you close with their nose pressed into your neck, while you hold them tightly, making sure they don’t fall off the couch.

AUGH im loving your au so far!! does all of this happen in season 2 or do they meet mogami earlier-- and if not, is everything else relatively consistent with canon once they get out?
im curious to know how theyd feel about each other and how theyd react to finally leaving (if they would at all), because that kind of relationship must take a toll LOL
it’s still season 2! i don’t know how it impacts them longterm but in the short term it’s very..
for mob, a lot of it is self degrading guilt as he’s prone to do. blaming himself and making no effort to reach out bc he doesn’t think teru would want to talk to him again after that mess. why couldn’t he see through it, do better, not treat him so poorly, etc. especially bc he was probably thrashing his ass AS dimple arrived to snap them out of it…. & teru is mortified obviously, that now shigeo has seen in depth the person he was before they met, but more than that..
mob goes home to his family and friends and teru goes home to an empty apartment. nothing about his living situation actually changed in mogamis world, he already was alone. it’s really difficult for him to parse, i think, bc mob is His Friend. singular. so he beats himself up until he realizes wait, in this situation i think kageyama would probably reach out to talk about it, right? apologize? and he whips out his phone immediately but…
