"Your manuscript is late."
Taiga yelped, jumping from his seat so fast he banged his knee against his desk.
Kuroko stared him down as he rubbed the throbbing spot, and he scowled back at him before collapsing into his chair again. "I have writer's block. How did you even get in here?"
"You gave me a key, remember, Kagami-kun?" Kuroko said, and he crouched a little to be face to face with Taiga as he slouched in the chair. Kuroko patted his hand. "You should have just told me you were blocked."
Taiga rubbed his face. "I was hoping that something would come to me," he admitted.
Kuroko looked at his face closely. "…when was the last time you slept?"
He wracked his brain for an answer. "What day is it?"
Kuroko sighed and stood up. "Okay. Get up, Kagami-kun. You're going to bed, and I'll come back after I negotiate a new deadline for your manuscript. Then when you wake up, we'll talk about what's not working for you."
"I love you," Taiga said to him. "You're amazing."
Kuroko smiled slightly. "You should say that when you're not so sleep deprived, Kagami-kun."
