Chapter 9, Kiyoomi (Sakusa pt.2)

THIRD POV

It wasn't long until a butler came in and told Kiyoomi that his parents were leaving soon.

"41-39, not bad Omi," The gradient head said as she dried her light sweat with a towel, and drinking on her bottle.

He huffed, "I'll defeat you next time," He said as he grabbed his things.

"You can take a shower in my room before you go, I don't mind. Or just the guest room," Shirome offered with no hesitation as she exited the court, towel on her shoulders.

Kiyoomi tried to remain stoic, "Uh-no, it's fine," He said as he cleared his throat and catched up to her.

Shirome frowned, "You'll get sick if you leave in that state. Don't worry, my room is clean."

He frowned, "It's not that."

"Then what is it?" She obliviously replied.

"It's..a girl's room."

"..."

"..."

"Oh."

Shirome lightly laughed as Kiyoomi glanced at her with a tint of pink on his cheeks. He wondered why that didn't cross her mind.

"You can use the guest room if you're not comfortable. I don't mind," She gave the ace a heart warming smile.

Kiyoomi smiled a little, "I think it's more comfortable if it's your room."

Shirome grinned, "Alright. I'll get you a clean towel. I'll make sure you're comfortable."

Kiyoomi finished showering as he changed to the extra clothes he brought, prepared as his parents told him he can play at your court. He dried his hair with another towel and exited your bathroom.

He was surprised to see it was a normal, clean bathroom. He expected it to be girly.

As he got out in his sweatpants, black hoodie, and white shoes, he found Shirome watching a movie.

He noticed his phone pinged and he glanced at the message.

From: Mom
To: Kiyoomi

Sweetie, the Fuyumis took us out for dinner and to see the land we were talking about. I'll have someone to pick you up at 9 PM, I'm sure you'll be fine on your own. ♡

He closed his phone, he looked at the modern clock on the wall.

7:08 PM. He had to wait until 9.

He slightly frowned but he felt a little happy, because he get to spend more time with Shirome.

Walking to the couch you were sitting in, he sat with a light sigh.

"Oh hey, I thought you're leaving?" Shirome said as she glanced at the bored looking boy.

"They went to dinner and will leave me here until 9 PM. I won't be a bother don't worry," He said as he used his phone.

Shirome frowned, "You're not a bother, tell me if you want something."

He hummed in response and drowned himself with his device.

After a while, he noticed that Shirome was struggling to keep her eyes open. It was fluttering softly.

Wanting to be polite, he gently placed Shirome's head on his shoulder (with a towel under). He pulled the blankets up as he covered her warmly from the cold.

Turning the TV off, he went back to paying attention on his phone.

Not long after, Shirome hugged his arm and snuggled with him. The male was panicking as he noticed how close the female got with him.

He turned his phone off and awkwardly held the small ace back.

He soon felt sleep reaching him as he drifted away. His head resting on Shirome as the pair was comfortable on each other's hold.
