[Team one] things that go knock-thump in the night
Hadn't written Takahika in a while so this was fun
"Find out what that noise is," Hikaru whispers groggily into the darkness. "It's too annoying to sleep through."
"Me?!" Takaki whisper-shouts back, utterly too dramatic for Hikaru's half-awake state to deal with. "What if it's a murderer in our apartment?"
Hikaru sometimes wonders how he fell in love with this idiot.
"Then he's a super incompetent one, judging by the lack of murder so far," he replies, groping in the dark for Takaki so he can push him out of bed.
They both pause when they hear the muffled knock-thump again coming from the living room. Not too loud to draw outside suspicion but not too quiet to easily ignore.
Hikaru finally succeeds in getting Takaki to roll off the bed. Unfortunately he did not calculate the other's strong grip into this scenario, and gets pulled down along with him. The crash as he lands on top of his rather solid boyfriend should have been loud enough to draw the attention of whoever was making the noise.
But the muffled knock-thump continues like nothing happened.
"Forget the noise," Takaki mutters, reaching up to wrap his arms around Hikaru. "This position isn't so bad."
"Forgot about your murderer theory already?" Hikaru says, mustering up all the sarcasm he has now that he's very unfortunately wide awake. "Or do you think he'll see us together and decide not to kill the two idiot lovers on the floor?"
"Maybe he's a romantic at heart?"
"You're impossible," Hikaru declares, wiggling his way out of the embrace just in case Takaki gets a glimpse in the dark of the smile which accidentally made its way to his lips.
He's not going to encourage these terrible jokes lest Takaki decides to share more.
Hikaru makes it to the bedroom door before Takaki creeps up behind him to join in the investigation, hands latched to the back of Hikaru's tank top. It feels like he's lugging a giant monkey around on his back.
He opens the door and switches on the light, hoping to catch the source of the noise in the act.
Turns out there's a tiny bird fluttering around by the window, trying to find its way out.
"It's a bird!" Takaki exclaims as if he was vying for the position of Captain Obvious.
"Wow, you're so observant. Why don't you find him a way out too then?" He reaches around to tug Takaki forward, but the other remains rooted to the ground.
"I don't wanna touch it," he whispers back.
"Just go open the window," Hikaru sighs.
He remembers they had the window open earlier since the weather was nice, but it has a tendency to slip shut after a while. So he figures the bird just slipped in without notice but didn't make it back out again in time.
"You'll save me if it attacks my hair?" Takaki asks, inching slowly forward.
Hikaru snorts. "No, I'll laugh hysterically and send video to Chinen."
Takaki gasps, and places his hand over his heart. "The betrayal!"
"Stop stalling," Hikaru complains. He's ready to get back to bed.
All in all, the confrontation is anticlimactic. Takaki cringes like he's doing the most terrifying job in the world, but he manages to get the window open long enough for the bird to swoop away to freedom. He flails a bit as the bird flies by, but it otherwise goes off without a hitch. He secures the window shut afterwards.
"You survived," Hikaru deadpans.
"As an animal rescuer now, I think I deserve a reward," he teases back.
Hikaru returns to bed. "Congrats, you win a decent night of sleep."

Ahhh your family's squirrel incident sounds chaotically funny ^_^ chasing an animal around is always an adventure! I must admit, we had a bird fly inside our office once which inspired me to write this lol. My coworkers screamed about it a while until it figured out where the door was again XD

It really is! (and I realized that I typed "wasn't at boarding school" but I meant "was") That sounds really chaotic--definitely good story inspiration! I'm glad it escaped okay.
