Mizuena headcanon that struck me at 4am and didn't let me sleep oh yeah woo yeah

mizuki knocks on ena's door in a rainy day. their hair wrapped up in the messiest hairdo they have ever had and their clothes soaked. they have been running there, it's evident they got caught in the rain but were too stubborn to just wait for it to end [1/?]

ena was just booting up her tablet, getting ready to work on something and hearing the doorbell ring made her extremely mad (this is me self-projecting /hj)
she asks akito to open the door but he replies in that "UUUUUGGGHHHHHH, IT'S YOUR TURN" way [2/?]

so she has nothing to do but to open the door herself to find a sad wet mizuki on her doorstep.
mizuki just stares back at her with that one face. the "hehe, i am your problem now ".
ena looks at them in disbelief and closes the door "no " [3/?]

mizuki knocks the door again. ena let's the heaviest sigh known to man out and just opens again.
"you are so dumb" "maybe i just wanted an excuse to see you" "hm... you are better than that" "am i?" [4/?]

this isn't the first time mizuki crashes at ena's. they already have their own routine to randomly knock her door on the worse possible times (which are actually the best ever)
ena shouts at akito that a friend is staying over. "'a friend' you wound me ena" "SHUT" [5/?]

so ena just gives them a spare set of clothes and goes back to work. mizuki is like an actual cat, who just roams around causing gay little accidents on purpose. ena just isn't worried anymore. she lets the hijinks ensue [6/?]

ena is having massive art-block. nothing is coming to her and her canvas remains empty.
mizuki organizes the things ena misplaces often. finished with the cleaning, they sit on her bed and pet the yellow cat pillow as they watch ena struggle [7/?]

ena throws her head back, annoyed that she can't draw anything. "you know it's pointless to try if that's gonna be your attitude" mizuki smiles at ena who's about to throw her tablet out the window.
"yes, jiminy cricket. when did you get so wise?" she replies sarcastically [8/?]

mizuki walks up to her and turns the tablet off. ena of course isn't happy. "WHY?" "because if you keep using your brain that much, the blood vessel on your forehead will jump out" mizuki points at ena's forehead. she softens her countenance and leaves her desk [9/?]

she lets herself fall on her bed next to mizuki, who's trying to hold back the laughter. ena is funny when she's irritated, they think.
from up-close mizuki can see ena's face clearly. the unneeded amounts of make-up over her eye bags can't fool them [10/?]

"someone hasn't been sleeping enough~" ena's face turns to mizuki. she knows they are good with detail like that. it's pointless to deny it. "might have pulled some all-nighters this week to—" "i care not for the reason. sleep now" "i—" [11/?]

ena turns their back on mizuki. she hates it when they are right. sleep doesn't sound like a bad idea, and her eyelids are already heavy enough. also, mizuki playing with her hair isn't helping the sleepiness. she just lets herself fall asleep at their side [12/?]

thunder wakes ena up. how long has it been since she fell asleep? she wonders. the clock marks past 4am. oh, she missed the niigo reunion. k and yuki would come for her ass
ena isn't the only one to wake up to thunder. mizuki opens their eyes suddenly. they were asleep too [13/?]

they look at the clock and back at ena. "it's ok. k and yuki know why you were absent today. i told them"
"You WHAT" "come on, let's go back to sleep" "no way in hell" "then talk to me"
that doesn't sound half bad for ena. she turns again to face mizuki's sleepy face [14/?]

"what do you wanna talk about?" "anything. i just like hearing your voice" "why would you say something like that?" ena is easy to embarrass
they don't actually talk about anything. they stare at each other in silence. as though it were a staring contest, eye to eye [15/?]

after several minutes of intense eye contact, mizuki closes their eyes and falls asleep. it isn't as easy for ena, who keeps staring at them for a little longer. they look so at peace with themself it makes her kinda jealous. the little details seem to matter more [16/?]

the pink eyelashes from up-close are like carefully painted lines on a canvas
their hands resting close to each other ignite furtive curiosity on ena's side who can't help but wonder if reaching out might be a good idea. she doesn't know where this nonsense comes from [17/?]

selfishness doesn't sound like a bad thing when she looks at these thoughts. she wants to do something out of her own volition, even if she might deal with regret afterwards. also, it's not like they haven't held hands before in a friend way. this just feels too personal [18/?]
