AN


This one is a bit on the longer side, but it is very fluffy fluff, no angst, just fluff, with a poem at the end.


I woke up as the midday sun filtered through my curtains, I looked at my phone to check the time: twelve-forty two. Also in my notifications, I got a text from Mirio "call me when you wake up3" that was weird, I always text him when I wake up. I looked at the time: 8:22, he knows that that's hours before I wake up since the quarantine started and I didn't have to be anywhere at any time. Still half asleep I taped the screen to set up a video chat, he picked up almost instantly.

I smiled as his beautiful face appeared on my screen. Despite not having to leave his house his appearance was fully put together, I didn't understand why he put in the effort, I couldn't remember the last time I wore anything but pajamas.

"Good morning sleepyhead," he was just so cheerful, he was the one thing I missed about non-quarantine life.

"Morrin'" I yawned.

"Have you heard the news!" he sounded so excited.

"Mirio~, of course, I haven't I just woke up, calling you was the first thing I did."

"Well there ending the quarantine tomorrow!" I had mixed feelings about that, I've come to like my new life I could stay up all night, sleep all day and spend all my time writing without ever having to leave the house or do anything. Even on school holidays, my mom insisted that she needed to 'air out the Tamaki,' and drag me on errands with her or something. But the best part of it was I had no human reaction with anyone but my parents and Mirio, if I could just physically be with him this would be one-hundred percent perfect, without it was around eighty-five percent perfect.

A look of concern fell on his face. "What's wrong Tamaki? Isn't this great!"

"I- I just don't want to deal with people again," I looked away from my phone.

"But you want to deal with me right~!" I looked back to see his goofy smile, he was just so cute! It made me smile again.

"Miro, I haven't considered you as people in years! If I did I wouldn't have been willing to call you!" I laughed, he started laughing as well.

We stayed like that just laughing when that died down we just smiled at each other until my blatter decided that I needed to move immediately.


I spent the rest of the day thinking about this thing actually ending, and finally being able to be with my boyfriend, to hold him, to cuddle him, to kiss him... on anxious, depressed, pessimistic side of me that never fails to make itself known, was telling me how I'll never get around to finish writing my novel and how I'll have to deal with crowded spaces and people and crowds back in the real world, the existing lack of solitude that came with dorming, but I kept pushing myself to think about Mirio. I didn't know how I felt about it so I grabbed my poetry journal and started writing, I put my pen down and looked at the time, it was almost two, which wasn't that late for me in quarantine world but I knew that I should try to go to bed, and get myself on some form of normal sleep schedule because if this is over chances are school will start up again soon. So I got ready for bed and turned on the tv in my room, in a mostly vain attempt to keep out the intrusive thoughts, as I tried to fall asleep.


Mirio's POV


I woke up bright and early with a smile on my face, today this nightmare ends, finally get to leave my house, I finally get to be with Tamaki, Just the thought makes me squeal with excitement.

I wanted to run over to his apartment right away but I knew that he wouldn't be up for ~hours~! Instead, I tried to cook breakfast, one of the many things I tried to learn, emphasis on tried! I can now make mostly unburnt scrambled eggs with very little shell mixed in!

I finished my eggs and got dressed and did my hair, and it wasn't even eight yet! I just wanted to be with my Tamak, but he sleeps so late! I pouted and paced the apartment wondering what I could do, I've done everything I could do in my apartment multiple times already!

My mom came out of her room to get ready for work. "Honey, why don't you go out for a run, to get rid of some of that excess energy," she suggested putting up a pot of coffee.

"That's a good idea! Thanks, mom!" I changed into workout clothes, put on my headphones, and started my cardio playlist.

Once I got outside I just started running I didn't pay attention to where I was running it felt so good to run without a mask! Eventually, I found myself stopping, at Tamaki's building. I looked at the time it was eight twenty-four, still too early! I went back to randomly running and ended up back at Tamaki's to more times! It was almost nine. Ok so if I run back home and shower then walk back here it would take...urg, I hate math! But it would have to be some reasonable time, still, before he wakes up but it would it wouldn't be too early! Hopefully! I just need to be with him.

I arrived back at his apartment a ten-twelve, I knocked, knowing that I wouldn't get a response, his parents would probably be at work, hopefully, they're homophobic and don't know we're dating, Lucky there was no response, so I let myself in. He gave me a spare key a long time ago, so I was able to get in, but even if I didn't have a key I could use my quirk to reach through the door to unlock it, it would not be the first time, I forget to bring my keys more often than I care to admit!

I went straight to Tamaki's room and went in as quietly as I could. I sat down on the edge of his bed and looked at his peaceful sleeping face in the dimly lit room, which brought a smile to mine. I wanted to wake him so I could be with him, but I also wanted to watch him sleep, that's not creepy right? I gently brushed away a lock of his long messy hair off his face. I started stocking his hair. Soon he groaned and opened his eyes slightly.

"Mirio?" he mumbled.

"Yea, Tamaki, I couldn't wait to see you so I just came over! I'm sorry I woke you, I needed to touch you..." I realized what I just said as it came out of my mouth, "not like that- I mean not like tough you touch you just-" he put his figure to my lips, his way of telling me to stop talking, which was good because I didn't know how I would make those words work, my boyfriend's the one that's good with words, not me! He sat up and curled up around me. I .turned towards him, having him lay more on my chest, and held him with both of my arms. He brought his face close to mine asking for a kiss, which I happily gave him. It felt magical just having my lips against his! Eventually, he pulled away.

"You're the one thing I missed during quarantine," he whispered, "I liked everything else about it I just missed you, when you told me it was ending I didn't know how to feel so I wrote a poem, but now I know that I'm glad it's over," with that he nuzzled back against my chest. He didn't share his poem! I love his poems, they're so sweet and well written, I know that he doesn't think that their that good but they are!

"Can I hear it?"

"Can't we just stay like this for a little bit longer?" he pleated, and I couldn't say no to him. For long. As much as I love holding him I couldn't stop thinking about this mystory poem, soon I just couldn't take it.

"can I please hear the poem now?" it was my turn to plea now. And he caved. And untangled himself and grabbed his notebook and turned on the light. I was so excited to hear finally hear it.

He sat on my lap and leaned onto me as he read

"The end,
Is almost
upon us.

On to the new,
Which is
More of the old.

But,
The current
Is happy.
The current
Is safe.

But I long,
To see more,
Than just
your face.

I miss,
Your gentle touch.
To be engulfed
In your arms,
Once more.

It would bring
A feeling,
Of pure delight.

All that I,
Have now,
To remind me
Of your beauty,
Is
A face,
On a screen.

But though the screen,
I can not reach.
I can not touch.
I can not feel.

Even though,
I enjoy
The now.
And all,
of its solitude.

In a way,
I am happy,
That
It is done.
Just
So I
Can be
With you."

I felt all warm and fuzzy knowing that he prefers being with me over his people free solitude. "I love you, Tamaki," I whispered into his ear.

"I love you too, Mirio," with that he tilted his head back towards my face, for another kiss.

I am Tamaki,
I love the solitude of being quarantined, the time between it starting and classes starting up again was practically heaven to me.
