"gumi... come back to bed, please?" your voice drawls out.
it was 1:05 am and you'd just woken up to find that your boyfriend was still awake, fixated on nothing but the computer in front of him.
just a couple hours ago, megumi excused himself from bed to go work on his missing school assignments. you let him be, lazing around on his bed without realizing you were slowly falling asleep. he, of course had noticed, and took the initiative to make sure you laid comfortably on his bed before returning to his chair.
"i will," megumi responds, moving to comb his fingers through your hair. "i just need to complete this one and then i'll lay with you."
"but that's what you said hours ago," you propped yourself up on your elbows. "you shouldn't stay up too late, it's really bad for your skin."
he rolls his eyes and chuckles. "sometimes assignments take more than one hour, you know."
you sigh once more and with nothing else to say, you decide to scan his face. lit under the warm lamp light, his eyes and lips were highlighted in such a way that made him even more beautiful.
even so late at night, megumi still had a way of charming you.
"how many pages do you have left?" you asked, another desperate attempt to get him to stop.
"around 3 i'd say. four if i decide to overexplain." megumi stretches, groaning out when his back pops.
"then just finish it in the afternoon when you have more energy. come on, it's too late to be focusing on this."
he turns his chair to look at you, an unreadable expression on his face. was he tired? annoyed? on the verge of ending it all? you didn't know. all you wanted was for him to return back in your arms.
megumi licks his lips in thought, "it's only three pages, [name]. you can go to sleep if you get tired, i'll join you after."
you sigh again, flopping onto your back. "fine. but when you're done, don't bother sleeping next to me-"
"-you're sleeping on the floor," you announce.
he stares at you dumfounded.
"excuse me?" now megumi's genuinely confused. just a second ago, you were begging for him to lay next to you, and now he just got demoted to floor-sleeper. in his own room.
"you got a problem?" you turn to your side to look at him. "you can sleep on the couch if you prefer that more."
megumi deadpans. "are you being serious right now? look- sweets. just let me do this really quick and i'll be there."
you yawn, "it's now or never, gumi. i'm gonna fall asleep any second, so make your choice now."
you turn to face away from him, hiding the growing smirk you had on. it gets bigger when you hear him sigh, followed by the sound of the chair rolling away.
the bed behind you dips down as he makes himself comfortable next to you. his arms wrap around you, and you turn once again to bury your face in his chest. he holds you against him tighter, breathing in the scent of your cologne.
you chuckle and twirl his hair around your fingers, "i knew you'd fold."
megumi grumbles. "it was either this or back pain, don't think too much of it."
