A study session with Nagi turns into a sleepover.
“No can do f/n. As much as I love karaoke, I can’t. I have a tutor coming over to help me study for my exams. Next time though for sure,” you laughed into your phone.
With the school year approaching its end, you’ve been studying nonstop for all your finals. One class in particular was giving you a huge headache, calculus. Luckily for you, Reo offered to help.
“Yes please Reo. I’m dying in the class. I need as much help as I can get,” you cried dramatically onto his shoulder.
“Yes of course y/n. As one of the top scorers in well…every subject…” Reo bragged, “I guarantee I’ll help you get at least a B or above.”
“Okay okay let’s not show off now,” you grumbled, immediately lifting your head off his shoulder and shoving him away.
The sound of the doorbell jolts you out of the earlier events playing in your head. Rushing to the door, you immediately open it-
“Hi Y/n,” the tall, white haired teen yawned.
“What are you doing here? Where’s Reo?” You asked, peering behind him.
“An urgent family matter came up so he asked me to sub in for him.”
“Oh I see, come on in then,” you said, pushing the door open to let the giant man through.
As you closed the door, you silently cursed at Reo for not even sending a quick text to let you know that he wasn’t coming.
“Would you like some tea Nagi?”
“No thanks, tea’s gonna make me sleepier.”
“Oh okay, then where would you like to start?”
“Wherever’s fine,” Nagi replied, yawning again.
“Okay then we can start with this.” You held up the folder filled with calculus practice assignments.
“…so you plug in the variable u for 2x and just take the derivative of it,” Nagi continues, pointing at the problem. Surprisingly, the man could be very focused when need be. It’s been 3 hours since you guys started, and he hasn’t slacked off once…well not that much anyways. There were a couple times where Nagi had almost dozed off while explaining a problem and you had to wake him back up.
“Done that was the last one!” You cried happily. “I’ll go make some ramen for us!”
“Finally, such a hassle.” Nagi grabbed his phone and laid himself on your carpet. You stopped.
“If it was an hassle then why did you agree to help me?” You questioned, unable to control the sliver of hope rising in your chest.
Nagi paused. “Mm no reason, just to help out Reo I guess,” the white haired man answered brushing it off.
Ignoring the stinging of disappoint in your chest, you packed up your books and walked off the kitchen. Unbeknownst to you however, Reo had planned this session long before today. He saw the way Nagi watched you in the halls as you laughed with you friends. His eyes full of wonder and adoration as he questioned how you managed to light up every room with just a smile. The way your eyes twinkled when you talked about your passions. The way your laughter filled him with joy. Or the way his heart would speed up so much whenever he’d see you and he couldn’t understand why…
“Okay Nagi they’re almost done. Just give it like 1-2 more minutes,” you told his laying figure as you carried the ramen to the living room coffee table.
“Nagi?” You nudged his shoulder slightly. No response. You nudged him again. No response.
You sighed. Of course he is. He just spent the last 3 hours helping you with your homework. He rarely ever puts that much energy into anything.
You opened your cup of ramen and pondered whether or not you should call Reo to take Nagi home. However you recalled Nagi’s earlier comment about Reo’s family problems and it would be very unlikely he’d be able to pick Nagi up. Sighing once more you decided to just leave the sleeping man on the carpet.
Maybe he’ll wake up in a hour or two.
You stared at the man lying at your feet. It’s been almost 3 hours. Nagi’s still sleeping. Deciding there’s no other choice but to let him stay the night, you grabbed an extra pillow and blanket. As you leaned down to tuck the pillow behind his messy hair, you couldn’t help but to caress his hair for a little while longer than necessary. It was soft, like silk, but scattered messily across his face. Your heart pounded in your chest as you moved from his hair to his face. Your fingers gently traced his delicate skin down to his chin. Nagi shuffles. Surprised, you back away, but Nagi’s hand suddenly reaches out to grab your wrist, pulling you towards him.
“Nagi…?” You face was burning up from the close proximity of his chest. Still twisting in his sleep, he slithers one arm around your waist pulling you in. You couldn’t break out of his grasp without waking him. The logical decision was to wake him but your heart was telling you another thing. The warmth radiating from his body was more than convincing enough for you to stay in this position.
One night wouldn’t hurt…I’ll get up before he wakes up.
Yawning, you carefully pulled some of the blanket around your body and relaxed yourself against him.
“Goodnight Nagi,” you whispered as you closed your eyes. Within minutes, you were asleep.
Nagi opens his eyes when he felt your heartbeat falling into a steady rhythm. Smiling sleepily, he stares at your figure curled up beside him.
