Chapter Text

One Year Later

 

“Gaaah, your room is dark.” Shouyou grabbed Tobio’s curtains and flung them apart.

His back is so broad and strong, Tobio thought. Then he started sneezing. He opened the window to air the dust out of his room.

His room, that he was leaving behind, to move to Tokyo.

His room wasn’t all he was leaving behind.

Shouyou swore he’d visit. At least for a year. After that? He’d be on the other side of the world.

Don’t think about how much you miss him while he’s still in front of you, dumbass. “You don’t have to help me pack.”

“I want to find all your secrets.” Shouyou pawed through his desk and discovered an old shoebox. “What’s this?”

“Open it.”

His boyfriend gasped. “Wow.”

Shouyou looked through the artifacts. Three programs from Nationals. His third-place finisher medal. A dried rose from a White Day bouquet. A box of candy hearts.

“You kept it.”

“Of course I did.”

“I… didn’t think you noticed.”

“Didn’t notice the boy I liked giving me candy that says, like, ‘first kiss’ and ‘all mine?’”

Shouyou fell into giggles. “You never said anything!”

“Neither did you!”

“I was embarrassed,” Shouyou squirmed. “I had a huge crush on you.”

“You mentioned it.”

“You said you loved me first!”

“You said I should be captain first!”

Shouyou sat on his desk, yanking him close. They were eye-to-eye. Tobio drowned in Shouyou’s shiny amber gaze. He still looks at me like that.

“You should be captain,” Shouyou smiled. “You’re still the best volleyball player I know.”

 “You’ll always be my captain.” Tobio smiled back. “The captain of my heart.”

Shouyou rolled his eyes and groaned. It was true. Tobio was a cheesy simp.

Which is why he kissed his boyfriend with all of his heart.
