Yuki opened his eyes and blinked groggily. The class had a party on Utsuroshima island in order to celebrate a strange creature who called itself 'Usami' who stopped and even stranger creature called 'Monocrow' from forcing them all to play a killing game, and returned peace to their school trip. They were to stay there for fifty days before going back to Hope's Peak Academy to continue the rest of their school year, and their only requirement was to become friends with the others and obtain 'hope fragments'. On the fifth day, they decided to throw a party, but somebody had brought alcohol in...just how much did he drink last night?
The lucky student sat up in bed with a killer headache, rubbing his forehead to try and soothe the pain. He just felt so tired and dizzy, and his eyes felt...much, much darker than normal. He dragged himself out of bed and went to the bathroom to splash his face with water.
Once he began drying his face off, he heard the sound of his boyfriend coming into his room. "Ah, Yuki? Are you there? I saw that you drank a lot last night, so I brought you some things for your hangover" Mikado called. He held a platter that had cut-up prickly pear and ginger slices, two ibuprofen pills, a small cup with a mixed liquid substance, and a bottle of water on it.
Yuki felt his insides get warmer at the sound of his voice. When they had arrived on the island and were threatened by Monocrow, Mikado had spoken for the first time and told the group to get behind him, even preparing to sacrifice himself to keep them safe. Before they could begin fighting, Usami showed up, beat Monocrow into submission, and took control of the school field trip.
Over the next few days, Yuki had decided to get closer to the wizard who was going to protect them all, hanging out with him around the island and talking about nothing in particular. Sometimes Mikado would go mute again, so Yuki would just ramble to fill the silence or hold hands and lean against him in silence. Soon, Mikado even began to take his mask off around him. Before the party, the two had decided to date officially.
Yuki came out of the bathroom and Mikado nearly dropped the platter, taking a step back as his eyes widened. "It can't be...this early?" The wizard whispered.
Yuki eyed the platter with his hungover gaze, which looked next to emotionless. "What did you bring?" He asked.
He could've sworn he saw Mikado stiffen for a split second before he walked over to him, carrying the tray. "It's for your hangover. Why...why don't we go to your bed and you can have it there?" He suggested.
"Alright." Yuki began walking over to the bed while Mikado followed behind him. He sat down on the edge on the bed, placing one hand on his knees and rubbing his head again with the other. "...What's on the tray?"
"Just some things to help with your hangover. Here, if you eat these slices..." Mikado picked up a ginger piece off of the plate and handed it to Yuki. The orange-haired boy put it in his mouth and swallowed it.
He looked over at the two pills. "What kind of pills are they?"
"Oh, those are just some ibuprofen." When Yuki gave him a confused look, the wizard hastily added "It's also known as 'Advil' or 'Motrin'."
Yuki picked up the bottle of water and twisted the cap off, putting the pills in his mouth before swallowing them down with water. Afterwards, he put the bottle down and began to eat the rest of the sliced vegetables. As he put the cactus into his mouth, he began to reflect on Mikado's strange behavior. He had always seen the wizard as brave and extroverted, not as submissive as he was now. In a way, he found it endearing.
After he finished eating, he noticed the small cup. "What is this?" He wondered, his brain too out-of-place to comprehend this morning. Another spasm of headaches came and Yuki squeezed his eyes shut, tightening his grip on his knee.
"Ah, it's just a mixture of borage oil and eleutsuro- I mean, eleuthero extract." Mikado internally kicked himself for his slipup. "I promise it will help." The wizard reached out his hand and rubbed his gloved hand over Yuki's knuckles in a comforting manner before quickly withdrawing with a nervous expression.
Yuki didn't need any more encouragement, downing the mixture before washing it down with more water. He yawned and put himself under the covers. "I don't really care for breakfast right now, I think getting some more sleep might help." He moved over in his bed, leaving a spot for one more person.
Mikado still stood beside his bed, fiddling with the tray. "Yes, sleep is scientifically proven to help with hangovers." He replied.
The next few moments were silent as Mikado stood around awkwardly and Yuki waited. Finaly, the lucky student spoke up. "Aren't you going to join me?" He asked.
Mikado stiffened before immediately removing his shoes. "I-If that is what you want from me, then I shall provide!" The blonde got into Yuki's bed and tucked himself in under the covers, and Yuki clung to him like a koala before settling into a peaceful sleep.
Later, when the two were walking around Utsuroshima Park, Yuki decided to bring the topic up. "Thanks for taking care of me when I had a hangover, but..." The lucky student chuckled, "I didn't know you could be that submissive!"
Mikado felt his face heating up in embarrassment. "I-Is that so...?"
"I think it's cute side of you!" Yuki clung onto his arm with a smile. "You don't need to be embarrassed!"
On the outside, Mikado nodded in reply. On the inside, he was kicking himself over and over again for mistaking his identity. Oh well, it wasn't like he was going to achieve his goals with the way things were going now.
