Disturbing @agentlemagician from here
With a soft hum in his chest, Ritsu regards the others attention, blinking slowly as he’s talking. Trying to stay awake for a few seconds, before nodding slowly, and managing to drift off slightly when he leaves.
Fake siblings, that’s where it all started. All to spite his brother - funny how much energy he spent on that activity, seeing as he’d always tell him how he didn’t care for him. Yet the soft smiles and gentle nature of the other had somewhat managed to hit a spot in Ritsu. Filling a hole he didn’t know he had.
No wonder Aoba knew just about everyone, he was so easy and nice to get along with~
Sitting up ever so slowly, not bothering to remove the blanket from his shoulders, he sways. Staying awake for a few seconds, before catching himself halfway asleep once again.
The return of Aoba somewhat manages to summon the needed will for him to stay somewhat conscious. “Fwuah~ Nah. It’s fine Onii-chan~”
Rubbing his eyes, with one hand, he accepted the warm cup, trying his best to keep it balanced as he yawned yet again.
“Mmmm, I’m still sleepy. Perhaps I should have slept past sunset~ It’s so nice and quiet around here.” Blowing on the tea before taking a sip of it, he nods happily, before changing his gaze to the slightly older boy in front of him. “Neee, nii-chan, why are you still here? Are you pulling an all-nighter again?”
❝Let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you, Ritsu-kun~.❞
He turns back to focus on his own work, which is returning books back to their original positions on their shelves. It seems that the odd student here or there leave them where they once sat. It’s clear most of them must know Tsumugi will return them to their original place without much complaint-- though he is slow in getting these miscellaneous tasks taken care of with more pressing work awaiting his needs.
Ritsu is one of them, and so he lingers nearby, gives the younger student time to wake up to gauge whether he’s in a talkative mood or not. Regardless, Tsumugi intends to fill the air with conversation as he tends to at least try to keep the atmosphere light and at ease. Its become easier talking to Ritsu over time and hes more than happy that the younger Sakuma still decides to linger even after Rei reacts the way he wishes when this all started. But, it’s resolved now, right? Oh, how he hopes so.
❝There’s still work to be done. I got distracted with some other requests and still have a few things to do, so I think it will be late by the time I’m finished. I’m not very fast or efficient with everything, but that’s ok~!❞ a hum follows, happy with the current circumstance. ❝You can stay as long as you like though, Ritsu-kun.❞
He’s in the process of tidying up another bookcase as he talks with Ritsu. Somewhere in the process of it all he tries to make room for a rather large book, but as he tries to ease it up onto one of the taller shelves that requires a stool to get to, his terrible luck strikes again. He’s in the process of making room for such a snug fit and loses his balance as he pulls another book free. The weight is just enough to make him sway and wobble and with a frantic ❛uwah?!❜ he falls, books raining down around him with a loud thud amidst the chaos of him trying to maintain his balance!
Tsumugi Aoba. Clumsy as always. Even his lucky item can’t save him from himself.
