The car ride back was silent. You were still trying to process that he had kissed you, and he was focused on driving so late at night.

You had lent your car keys to Mitsuri so she could drive back to the dorms in peace, meaning there was no need to worry about picking it up the next day.

By the time you were back at your dorm, the entire day caught up to you and grew tired.

"Night, Giyuu," you mumbled as you approached your dorm after what seemed like forever.

"Goodnight, darling," he mumbled back in a similar tone.

You slipped through the door and almost immediately kicked off the boots you were wearing, grabbing the side of the wall as you did so.

Your feet were killing you after standing on them for nearly 6 hours; your bed was practically calling out your name.

You sleepily took off your makeup and slipped into some comfier clothes, and the moment your head hit the pillow, you were out like a light.

-

The sound of Sanemi yelling woke you up.

You rubbed your eyes and checked your phone for the time.

12:34pm.

Thank god it was the weekend.

You tiptoed to the bathroom, desperate to wash your face to wake up, before emerging in the kitchen in still your pyjamas.

"There she is," Tengen smiled as you walked towards the table. "Great job on yesterday," he roughly patted your back.

"Thanks," you said, yawn escaping from your lips in the process.

"So," Mitsuri asked from the other end of the table. "You and Giyuu?"

A smile immediately crept up on your lips.

"I mean, It feels like we're kinda dating? but we haven't really talked about it, though, or made it official,"

"Fucking finally," Sanemi blurted out "I thought you guys were blind or some shit,"

You nearly snorted at the mans sudden outburst.

"It's true," he shrugged, before taking a bite of an apple.

"When are you seeing him next?" Shinobu asked.

"Hopefully today, I might go and surprise him, actually,"

"Awww," Mitsuri gushed before getting out her seat to check on the scrambled eggs.

"Do you want any Y/n?" she asked over her shoulder.

"I'm good, I'll just eat at Giyuu's." you laid back in your chair, excited for the day ahead.

-

In order to save gas, you decided to walk to Giyuu's apartment. The fresh air woke you up, and gave you the chance to stop by a shop and pick up some fresh cinnamon rolls.

The whole journey was about twenty minutes, and as you walked up the all too familiar stairs, a small rush of adrenaline ran through your veins.

You pressed the doorbell with your free hand before clutching the box of cinnamon roles tightly again.

The door opened with a small click.

"Surprise!" you smiled.

His whole face lit up and he stepped to the side allowing you to pass through the doorway.

He shut the door behind him and immediately leant forward, placing his lips on yours, just like he'd done the previous night.

His hands found your waist, and your free arm hung over his neck.

He pulled away, softly saying your name under his breath.

You had barely taken a chance to take notice of his messy hair and slightly tired eyes, as if he was barely awake.

The material of his shirt hung loosely around his torso, and his eyelids were so close to fluttering shut that you feared he would fall asleep against you.

Your hand guided itself to his face and you gently ran your thumb across his cheek bone.

He leaned into your touch, softly grabbing your wrist as he did so.

"You okay?" you asked just above a whisper.

He mumbled out some slightly incoherent words of agreement.

"Just tired," was what he settled with before resting his head against your shoulder.

You place the cinnamon roles on the side before sliding your hands down to his back, drawing small circles with your hands on the fabric.

You ended up on his sofa, him laying on top of you, allowing you to run your hands through his hair and press the odd kiss on the crown of his head.

He didn't say much, and you didn't force him, too. The silence spoke volumes, and the fact that he fell asleep in your arms was proof enough that he was exhausted.

You let him rest for who knows how long.

"Y/n," he suddenly grumbled against your torso.

"Yes, pretty boy?"

He said nothing, but a light shade of pink dusted the tips of his ears.

"Can we order pizza or something? I can't be fucked cooking," his voice was raspy and sleepy.

"Sure," you chuckled, reaching over for your phone.

He moved himself off you and headed for the shower, returning 15 minutes later.

Shirtless.

All he had on was a pair of low waisted sweatpants.

"Hey," he said, so casually, making his way to the kitchen for a glass of water before sitting back down next to you on the couch.

All the blood in you rushed to your face, and you did your best to keep your composure.

"You good?" he asked, well aware of your slightly flustered expression.

You nodded your head, pressing your lips together in a thin line before crossing your legs.

The doorbell rung, indicating the pizza was here, and you ran to get it.

It was still warm, so warm it nearly scolded your hand, so you wasted no time in placing it down on the sofa between you, whilst Giyuu put on a movie.

It was nearly 5pm, and although you had literally done nothing but nap with Giyuu, somehow you felt lethargic.

Although it was April, the evenings still brought out a chill in the air, the exact opposite of how it was when you had arrived.

A shiver crawled up your spine at the sudden cold.

"Cold?" he asked.

"A little," you wrapped your arms around yourself.

"Hold on." he got up and went to the room just to bring back one of his hoodies.

Your eyes lit up.

"Thank you," you grinned, sliding it over your head.

"You're welcome," he quickly kissed your cheek.

Time flew by, and all of a sudden, the pizza box was empty, and the ending credits of the film were playing.

It was getting close to 8pm, and you didn't want to leave Mitsuri on her own any longer, so decided to call it a night.

"Bye Giyuu," you said, as he walked you to the door.

"Bye bye my love," he said as he pulled you into a tight embrace.

You bounced down the stairs before finally emerging into the now cold evening air, both content and relaxed.
