[10:07 pm]

tamaki stalks through the halls of the dorm, pajamas in hand, minding his footsteps so as to be considerate to those who might be sleeping. he rolls his foot down instead of solid steps; heel, arch, toe, heel, arch, toe. the moonlight peeking through the blinds provides the only light in the building, but tamaki doesn’t dare turn on his phone flashlight. something about the way the pale light shines through the slats is ambient, and for a moment, he thinks of you.

he thinks of how the moon shines so brightly only because of the sun, not unlike how he is with you. the way light radiates off you, providing warmth to anyone who might be around, whether they like it or not, has always been your most attractive trait to amajiki. no matter what mood he’s in, when he’s around you, he’s able to truly be at ease. you’re the sun and he’s the moon, your light reflects off him.

it’s plain to see to anyone who watches the odd pair walk down the halls- the girl bounces off the walls with an electric energy, arms always flailing around to emphasize the point she’s trying to make. the boy is quieter, but somehow still loves spending time around her. there’s clear admiration for the smaller girl, who still walks as if she has nowhere to be, knowing that whatever she says, the boy will listen. he peers down at her with a subtle smile and kind eyes, finding every word out of her mouth absolutely captivating. 

you’re the light in tamaki’s life, and he shines because of you. 

pleasant thoughts fill his head as amajiki continues to think of you. nothing in particular, just the way he feels when you’re around. all his worries melt away, as if you had a second quirk. 

making his way up the stairs, he finds his way into the showers, where he washes off the stress and worries of the day. his perpetually sore muscles relax a bit, hot water slightly stinging, though the way his tension is relieved is worth the mild burn on his skin. showers are one of tamaki’s favorite parts of the day, it marks the beginning of when he can wind down and make time for himself.

after he’s done, amajiki once again dons his bunny slippers and heads out of the bath room, finally arriving at his dorm room where you’d likely be waiting for him just as you said you would be. he takes his key out of his shower caddy and pushes it into the door knob. a rush of warm air hits him, and tamaki quickly closes the door to keep the heat in, but his heart stops when he sees you.

you’re sprawled out on his bed, limbs spread out so all of the space is taken. your head is turned to the side so amajiki can see your beautiful face from where he is. he notes your chest rhythmically rising and falling, and he knows you’re really asleep when you don’t try to spring up to hug him when he sits down on the bed next to you. 

you look so calm compared to how bouncy you normally are, and it’s such an intimate moment that tamaki can’t bare to look away. he gets the same feeling he does whenever he looks at you; he feels light, like he could fight off a thousand villains and still come back to see you. his body heats up bit by bit, first his fingers and toes, then his torso, rising to his neck until he feels completely enamored by the scene in front of him. as much as he’d love to wake you up to pepper you with kisses, as much as he’d love to sneak into your side to cuddle you, he knew you needed this rest.

your insomnia had worsened recently, symptoms seeping into your daily life, and the least amajiki could do was let you get a good night’s rest, even if that meant he had to give up his own bed. he’d do anything for you, all because of what you do for him. if he had to sleep on the couch? so be it, it’s not the end of the world. you’d do the same, no doubt. 

tamaki grabs a discarded throw pillow and places it on his open futon. there’s already a blanket tossed haphazardly on the side, and it’s put next to the pillow. before he goes to sleep, tamaki takes a second to admire you one more time, taking in the feeling he has when he sees you and making a point to remember it. if only tonight could last forever. maybe it couldn’t, but that only means there would be more moments like this in the future. amajiki pulls out his phone and makes sure the flash is turned off, snapping a picture of your sleeping form to remember this moment.

the only thing illuminating the picture is the moonlight.
