Komaeda frowned, sifting around the food on his plate. He was alone at a table, once again. He was just about to rise from his seat and throw his food away when he looked up and found himself facing Hinata.
He jumped in his seat, startled. "H-Hinata-kun?" he asked, looking into his crush's bright green eyes. "What are you doing here?"
Hinata raised his brows at Komaeda. "I came to sit down with you…?" He sat down at the table across from Komaeda, setting his tray down on the table.
Setting down his tray, Hinata's hand grazed Komaeda's. Komaeda jolted, feeling a burst of energy surging between them. He blushed, looking down at his tray. And then Hinata grabbed Komaeda's hand, holding it in his warm grasp.
Komaeda looked up from his tray, surprised. Hinata was grinning at him. "Hinata-kun, what are you doing?" He looked down at their intertwined hands.
Hinata didn't reply. He just held Komaeda's hand, until both of them had finished what was on their trays. Hinata rose from his seat, pulling Komaeda up with him. They walked out of the dining room together, all the way to Hinata's room.
It was late now, almost 9'o clock. Komaeda let go of Hinata's hand for a moment as he climbed in to bed. Komaeda crawled in with him, folding himself under Hinata's arms. They lay like that, holding each other, until sleep dragged them both under.
