In theory, this was a good idea. In reality though, this is one of the dumbest things you could be doing.
When your eyes caught the glimmer of your skateboard in the middle of studying, all you could do was stare wistfully at it thinking about what you could be doing instead of adding to your wrist pain while doing math problems. At this point, math was becoming it’s own problem too since all the numbers were beginning to blur into one big blob.You needed a break and you knew it.
Akaashi’s recommendation was something you automatically agreed with. Sure he probably meant to lay down, do a bit of research on skate shops, something calming etcetera, but sneaking out just sounded so much more appealing. Fresh air would be perfect for you plus you could try and check out the skate shops to get your skates fixed. Hitting two birds with one stone.
To sneak out though, there were only two problems you thought you needed to deal with. The first being the fact that you were trying to sneak out of a room on the second floor which you easily dealt with by putting a ladder below prior, and the second being taking off your window screen. It was a bit harder than you had expected since it was your first time trying to take it off, your last house already having the screen removed, but it was nothing MeTube couldn't have fixed.
That was two obstacles dealt with, but now you were dealing with one you didn’t account for: for you to be hanging out of the window with your skateboard squeezed in one arm, the other arm’s hand gripping onto the bottom of your window, and you tippy-toeing to reach the closest step of the ladder you could.
You honestly thought you were tall enough to reach the ladder perfectly fine. But it seemed like you might have done a few miscalculations. This realization comes to you while you stare down at the looming drop that could potentially await you but while doing so the voice of your neighbor startles you.
“Hey neighbor, you might die if you do that!” Where was his voice coming from?
Turning your head ever so slightly you see Suna staring at you with wide eyes and hands gripping his own window. This might have been the most emotion in his face you've seen besides his god awful smirk and usual amusement.
since you both were neighbors, you've talked a handful of times, which was usually sarcastic banter, but sometimes the fact you were neighbors slipped your mind. How that works you don't know, but you really did forget you were neighbors at times. Especially window buddies from what Bokuto calls it.
You knew he was your window buddy, having glanced at him a few times during the past few weeks, even making eye contact and waving at each other, but you didn’t expect him to be awake and seeing you like this. How embarrassing you think to yourself. It would be rude not to reply though; taking a deep breath in you’re hoping your voice won’t be too shaky.
“Shhh! Be quiet please, I don’t want to wake anyone up. Thanks for the oh-so-amazing insight though, duly noted.” To your dismay, your voice does end up being shaky but oh well.
A loud sigh comes out of Suna’s mouth as he runs a hand through his hair, if you weren’t about to fall to your death you probably would think he’s attractive but currently you have a few bigger problems to tackle. Right before you plan to speak again though, you feel your grip start to loosen and you close your eyes awaiting your death.
“Yn, listen to what I’m saying, okay, drop your board into the bush, try your best.” Listening to him is probably the best course of action if you want to live, so you do so and drop your board hearing it fall into the leaves below. After letting out a shaky “I did it,” you hear your neighbor speak again.
“Okay now open your eyes and use your free hand to grip the bricks in front of you,” He pauses for a moment while you attempt to follow his instructions then continues, “Now try to climb down, I’ll meet you at the bottom just don’t look down while descending.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It took around five whole minutes to get down to the bottom of the ladder, Suna Rintarou waiting for you and attempting to console you the entire way down. There were multiple thoughts of you never doing this ever again but you did know that sneaking out is inevitable. Taking a moment to recuperate, you flop down on the grass that was once below you, the feeling of the earth against you was pleasant after being stuck in the sky.
“Thank fucking god I lived you are a lifesaver Suna-kun.” A sigh of relief was let out as you lay sprawled, opening your eyes to see the same boy you were thanking leaning over you while standing.
“I know I’m a lifesaver, I almost watched you die. You know you could have traumatized me right?” Sarcastic bitch he was, but you couldn’t deny you were amused, the banter felt nice after almost falling.
“My bad didn’t mean it was almost at one in the morning. Next time I'll do it during daylight” You snort while taking in the scent of grass.
“Yeah you go do that. Getting traumatized at one in the morning is really not it.” You can hear the snarky relief in his voice before you close your eyes and sigh again. After a moment, you stood up and grabbed your skateboard from the bushes you threw them in. Running your hands along it, you inspect the chunk of wood. Thank the gods it wasn't damaged, you didn’t know what you’d do if it ended up being broken.
“Anyway if you’re fine now, let's go skating.” Immediately turning towards the boy, you blinked, staring at him a bit confused.
“What?” There was a dumb, slight smile on his face, he was obviously amused by your reaction.
“Well you almost died once, what if you almost die again, I needed to get out of my room anyways so I’ll go with you to make sure you don’t die. Or if you do, then your family hears about it. Don’t wanna die alone do ya?”
Weighing the pros and cons in your head, even if you wanted to say no, which you oddly didn’t, you knew you couldn’t. For one he quite literally saved your life and two he definitely knew the area better than you and after one death scare knowing someone would be looking out for you would be good. Plus going by yourself would be lonely. So… why not?
“Okay, sure then, where are we going?”
Notes !! :
-> It took two weeks for this chapter im so sorry </33
-> it's also 3 am so im sorry if the writing portion is unedible
-> I feel bad for yn bc she cant ice skate anymore, her roller skates are broken, and all she has is a skate board that she knows absolutely no tricks on
-> yn used to regularly sneak out but their old house was one story which made it like a hundred times easier than what she has to deal with rn
-> Suna wasn't too panicked until the twins were panicked bc he then realized he might ACTUALLY watch someone die
-> me projecting onto yn because i almost died when i miscalculated my height and the top of a ladder a few years ago <3
-> Osamu fell asleep at the end but Atsumus stayed up bc he was invested in a kdrama and whatever is going on on Rin's side
-> Yn and rin ended up getting back to their houses at like 4 in the morning and Rin held up the ladder to make sure she didn't fall or anything
-> Akaashi has this weird sense late at night whenever he's reading to check the gc at random times bc someone might be awake he thought it was originally bokuto but realized he was probably sleeping. Bokuto is also at Kuroos for a sleepover rn bc he is !!
