Week 0, Sunday

[moonlightbeast]

[Hey roommate! Did you know your roommate has nightmares? Because he sure do!

Luckily they're quiet ones, but Atsushi is definitely waking up late on Sunday night after one of his nightmares. He's trying to be as quiet as he can be, but his steadying breaths are loud in the quiet night and he's sitting up and rubbing at his face.]

[9mon]

[Hey, buddy...

He comes back in with a glass of water and hands it over.]

Are you okay?

[moonlightbeast]

Ah-

[Busted.

He sinks down into the bed a bit, almost like he's trying to hide, before he finally reaches out to take the water.]

Just bad dreams. A lot happened in the last couple days.

[9mon]

Yeah... It got really scary there for a while, huh?

Having nightmares is pretty normal.

[moonlightbeast]

[He nods. Definitely scary, and nightmares after that are normal.]

Still, I'm sorry I disrupted your sleep.

[9mon]

Don't worry about it.

Um... Do you want warm milk? That helps me when I wanna sleep.

[moonlightbeast]

[Warm milk...]

I think I'll be okay without it for now, but I'll remember that trick if I have trouble sleeping another night.

[Which will. Probably happen. Eventually.]

...

Kumon, I...

[He feels. Really silly about it. But there's something he wants to say.]

[9mon]

[He waits, since he's heard his name.]

Yeah?

[moonlightbeast]

I'm sorry. Even if it was a pretend murder, I shouldn't have stabbed you. Especially not over a piece of bread.

[9mon]

[He will gently put his hand on Atsushi's shoulder.]

It's okay, I forgive you for your pretend murder.

[moonlightbeast]

[He didn't expect that answer, but he lets out a small, reassured huff.]

Thanks. I'll try my best not to pretend-murder you again.

[9mon]

You're welcome.

[He smiles.]

So let's be good roommates to each other, okay?

[moonlightbeast]

[He smiles in return.]

I think I can do that much, at least.

[9mon]

Good.

I've only had one roommate before now, but do you wanna decorate the room later? It's already really cozy, but maybe it can be more "us"? Like by putting up triangles or something?

[moonlightbeast]

I'm not against the idea, but why triangles?

[9mon]

Oh! 'cause Sumi's really into them. They're all over our room. But it doesn't have to be triangles if they're not your favorites.

[moonlightbeast]

I...don't think I have a favorite shape, honestly.

[9mon]

Color or animal?

[moonlightbeast]

I like cats! And chameleons too.

[9mon]

Good picks.

Cats are great, and chameleons are cool. I love kangaroos too!

[moonlightbeast]

I guess we can decorate the room with animals, maybe? We did get those plush animals when we first got here.

[9mon]

Yeah! I got a really cool dragon. [ It's cute and fuzzy and it sits in his bed. ]

And we're amber so we could make more of them.

[ Cute! Warm! Soothing! ]

[moonlightbeast]

[GAAASP]

You're right! We can!

[9mon]

Right, right? We can only make a little at a time, but that's still good.

[moonlightbeast]

Give it a week or so and it will be very cute in here.
