∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ (sleep) - for your muse to fall asleep on mine (yuriiiiiiii)
the classroom is mostly empty, the others having gone home after club activities had ended for the day. yuri, however, remained, completed fixated on the novel in hand. mikio sat beside her, intent on joining her despite yuri’s unconvincing attempts of persuading him otherwise; truth be told, it was an activity she looked forward to, so the fact he’d made time for her, even after the club, made her heart flutter. as long as he didn’t mind, her worries could ease and she could allow herself to become absorbed in her book. pages turn slowly, waiting for him to finish reading, and while she was often patient she couldn’t help but notice he was struggling with this one in particular.
had she been moving too fast? maybe it wasn’t the right book for him after all. she’d gotten carried away again .. how embarrassing.
movement, albeit slow, as his thumb begins to fall down the page, before dropping completely to his side.
her eyes jump to life, mouth agape as she finally clicks on to his heavy breathing, and the fact his body pushes against her side, drooping atop her and causing her face to brighten significantly. the cold conditions of the room vanished.
for a brief moment she wonders if he’d fallen asleep due to boredom, but those pessimistic thoughts are submerged by his sleeping face, and the fact she couldn’t take her eyes off him. so peaceful. did he feel comfortable around her? that thought made her happy. she should wake him but she didn’t have it in her to ruin this moment.
gaze returned to her book and she gently turns the page, careful not to make any sudden movement case he wakes up. try as she might, she couldn’t quite focus on the novel as she had previously. instead of being enveloped in it’s story, she was overcome by the warm sensation of his body against hers, and found that to be far more enticing.
she was allowed to be selfish. was it so wrong to want his attention? moments like these meant everything to her. book closes. if she could just indulge for awhile longer, she’d be content. so, yuri ends up closing her eyes and leaning against him in turn, allowing this moment to last in her memory.
