:Today:

He hides when he's tired, and that's certainly what he is - with shadows under his eyes, and hidden wrists, and his dry tongue - he retreats into his room and locks the door. In general, his roommates leave him alone.
But in what he considers his most serious lapse of judgment, he gave Miku a key.
Miku, who hums irritating pop tunes from the radio. Miku who has no thought filter (or no thoughts worth filtering). Miku, who constantly bumps things off tabletops without noticing. Miku who throws the curtains apart and lets the sun jump into Len's dark, dusky room. Blinding, burning all the time, her hair shouting its teal hue, she is the most unsubtle girl in the world. She invites herself into the bed, if only because he's too tired to protest.
And she whispers against him.
Gentle tones, she's learned, because people can always learn a thing or two. He relishes the quiet, and now, he relaxes in the noise.
While toying with his mussed hair, she coos. "How's Today?"
He rolls over the rumpled blankets on his side, facing her. "I haven't met her; I hope I don't."
Miku is awed by the scratchy words.
The hair that she strokes is sharp gold, but still soft as a dream. She has never seen the color of the sky so clear and strong in someone's eyes. The frown on his face is so classic for him, just as it is a little irritating.
She runs her thumb over his chapped lips and sighs, "one look and Today would drop everything to steal you for herself."
He groans softly. When those heavenly eyes peel away from her in embarrassment, she feels a little piece of her heart being torn from her chest.
But he doesn't recoil; he hides his face in the crook of her neck, desperately close to her heart. She feels his burning cheek against her. His breath is thin and careful. His arms slide around her waist and lock into place there.
That's the don't go signal, the Today can't take me from you signal.
Her heart agrees in Morse code.
Uhhhhh I got impulsive again, I may just publish a lot of nonsense in this thing, since everyone else seems to do oneshots as well.
my soul screams for negibanana, can you honestly blame me?
