❝you're going to be the death of me, [name]❞

—[name] and sugawara were sat on [name]'s shitty couch. surprisingly, the tea after school thing had slowing become a regular activity for the two. [name] would pull out a movie from her impressively large collection sugawara had admired not so long ago, then they'd sit down and enjoy each other's company for a couple of hours.

sugawara really enjoyed the movies [name] showed him but what he loved more was that she would explain it. what she liked about it, stupid little facts and easter eggs and how good the acting was. she'd always apologise for taking over the film as most people always hated when someone wouldn't shut up during a movie but sugawara thought that was the best part of their time together. he loved hearing [name] gush about the things she enjoyed. her almost rare happiness sort of rubbed off on him. he really liked to see her talk about her interests

"so what'd you think?" [name] turned over to sugawara once the credits began rolling. her hair was messily tied back from her face and her school shirt was untucked. it took everything sugawara had not to blush. this girl was just to pretty for him, even when she wasn't trying.

"yeah, it was great, i can see why you like this one so much," he smiled as he placed his mug on the coffee table. [name] lips tugged into a smile.

"are you feeling any better from the other day?" sugawara decided changed the subject. [name] was changed from a smile to something much more unreadable. her eyes shifted away from sugawara to stare at the liquid in the mug both her hands held. sugawara swallowed a lump in his throat, worried that he might've brought up something a little too touchy.

"yeah, i think so..." [name] trailed off, reminding herself of the events from a couple days ago. her nose crinkled up just like it always did when she was thinking hard. [name]'s right hand left the mug to trace the loose stitching of the couch to distract herself from the discomfort. "thank you for not treating me like a pyscho by the way, i know i probably freaked you out a lot," she giggled awkwardly.

"of course not, i'm just glad you're okay," sugawara smiled at her once more. [name] let out a small sigh.

"it's just yukio, got into my head, i know he's a dumbass and he never means what comes out of his mouth but it still got to me," she explained.

"so it was yukio that told you all that stuff?" the grey haired setter asked with a slightly shocked tone. [name] nodded.

"yeah, it really freaked me out, got ami involved and everything," she laughed awkwardly, continuing to pick away at the stitching to calm the nervous feeling trying to resurface. "but everything worked out okay and some of thats because your really good at comforting me, suga."

[name] and sugawara both smiled at each other for a while, enjoying the comfortable silence after [name] had finished speaking. sugawara couldn't help but notice how close she was right now, their hands were so close to touching in the middle of the couch. he couldn't help but let his eyes flicker to her lips every now and then. [name] noticed and hesitantly and slowly let herself move in closer. sugawara let himself do the same.

the grey haired boy panicked once he realised what he was doing and then moved a little faster than the cheer captain. his lips quickly went to her cheek and lingered there for a moment. "you're going to be the death of me, [name]," he laughed softly, placing his forehead on hers. both their faces were dusted shades of pink though sugawara's blush was much darker than the cheer captain's.

she sighed and let a small smile tug at her lips. she felt her hand edge over to meet sugawara's, their fingers gradually laced together. sugawara held her hand rather tightly, like she'd disappear if he were to let go.

"i know," she mumbled with a quiet laugh. there was a subtle sense of nervousness hidden in her tone.
