Chapter 2: Other people: Part 1

                                    

                                          
Daichi's POV: 
                          
Suga and I are going to be hanging out after school, we haven't really been hanging out recently due to our exams, the only times we see each other is during volleyball practice and even then we are too busy because of the troublesome lot (AKA Tanaka, Nishinoya, Hinata, Kageyama, Tsukishima and surprisingly Yamaguchi) so I am looking forward to talk to him. I miss his cuddles so much.
                          
I walk to the meeting place we both agreed on, he wasn't there yet so I pull out my phone and answer some messages that were sent during the day from various group chats. I suddenly notice Suga's adorable face peeking from behind my phone.
                          
"Hiya darling" I whisper softly before taking him in my arms and kissing his nose. He snuggles in closer to my chest, humming contently. I press my face into his hair and kiss the top of his head, God he is so cute.
                          
After a few minutes we break apart and start walking to his house, we link our pinkies as we stroll past the park, I missed this so much. I remember when Suga confessed to me right here at 2AM after he had an argument with his parents, I helped cheer him up next to a bush of yellow roses which I picked one off for him. We already knew we were soulmates however our initials are in white, despite that we decided to make it work, I mean there are some rare cases that romantic soulmates can change from platonic and vice versa, maybe we'll be lucky.
                          
We get to his house and go straight to his room and I am instantly attacked by cuddles from Suga, we fall to the floor laughing.
                          
Sugawara's POV:
                          
I have to tell him, I can't  keep pretending like everything is fine when it's not. I'm tired but not of Dai though, he is one of the best thing that has ever happened to me and I love him a lot but I don't think it's romantic. I love him so I can't keep this from him any longer, he has to know.
                          
"Hey Dai, can we talk?" I ask after having a millions of thoughts rush into my head.
                          
"Yeah, sure". We both sit up and move to the bed. I reach out for his hands to try to distract myself.
                          
"Before I start, can you promise to stay quiet until I finish, this has been on my mind for a while now and I can't stay quiet about it any longer."
                          
"Okay".
                          
I bite my lip as I try so hard not to cry, Daichi gently strokes my knuckles, prompting me to start. Looking down towards the small flowers embraided on my bed sheets. Come on Koushi don't chicken out now idiot.
                          
"I love you Daichi... but not in the way you love me. I've taken a while to figure out my true feelings towards you but they're not what either of us want. If I could choose who to be in love with it would be you, however, for some unknown reason, no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to love you romantically..." I have to pause as tears fall from my eyes and sobs escape my mouth.
                          
"I-I'm so s-sorry Dai, please don't hate me" I close my eyes, scared to see Daichi's face. All I do is fuck up I'm sorry Daichi please don't think I'm a bad person. I love you so much.
                          
I suddenly feel a soft, warm hands wipe my tears and caress my cheek like what he always did.
                          
"Koushi... look at me okay" I raise my head and open my eyes to see Daichi's eyes glistening with tears "Listen, I could never hate you, I am okay with being friends if it makes you happier. You can't force your feelings Koushi. I will love you no matter what so please do what makes you the happiest you can be as long as I can keep being your best friend, that will be more than enough for me". We hug as I sob into his shoulder.
                          
"I'm going to leave now but please, promise me you won't blame yourself" He speaks in a gentle tone while wiping his eyes.
                          
"I promise".
                          
Daichi leaves and I grab my blankets to just snuggle up on my bed and hopefully get some sleep. It takes a while for me to sleep, I could be cuddling with Daichi right now but I just had to mess things up like I... Wait, no, stop, I made a promise to Daichi, It's the least I can do after doing this to him. I turn on some piano music and slowly drift off.
