(The day is Wednesday cuz why not)
Valentines day. The day where half of the worlds population sits at home watching TV or reading novels by authors they have only just discovered, waiting for the next day to come in order to buy all the half price chocolate, while the other half is preparing for a day filled with love and caring, preparing for dates, making dinner, setting up cute picnic spots and just feeling all lovey-dovey. The day that many people hate for not having that special someone to enjoy the day with. The one day in the year that has people either crying their eyes out or worried sick. Or maybe even both. Of course, if your worried you are obviously not prepared. Your special someone will be able to see this very clearly. Luckily, Daichi and Sugawara don't have that problem. In fact, they were too prepared. They had everything planned. From the end of volley ball practise up until they would have to sleep. They had been planning it since the first of February. Seems rather boring, the lack of spontaneousness making it all too formal, but the two boys didn't mind. To be honest, they loved the days leading up to their special dates. They did have the moments where they did indeed go on random dates just to shut their teammates up about how they have no fun. But on those odd occassions, they felt too out of place.
Sugawara walked out of his house to the place he knew his boyfriend was waiting. A smile grew wide on his face as he approached the boy who was facing the other way waiting. He saw the neatly yet messily brushed hair and straight away he could feel his heart flutter. It was like everything the younger boy did could make him want to scream out at the top of his lungs the love he has for the boy. But he has to refrain from doing so. Some people don't appreciate screaming at such an early hour.
"Good morning," Suga whispered into Daichi's ear making the boy jump in fear of his life. He turned around and saw Suga standing there, smiling smugly.
"Morning," He said back smiling. He extended his arms to bring Suga closer to him in order to hug him. "How has your day been so far, kind sir?" He asked overly politely making Suga's smile widen.
"You are being rather polite today, sir. Is everything in order up there?" Suga asked pointing to his head.
"Well that was rude Milady. I am behaving as always with a slightly over exaggerated accent. But other than that nothing has changed." Daichi said bowing in front of Suga, stopping either of them from walking.
Suga was slightly embarrassed at the fact Daichi was bowing in the middle of the street where anyone could see him. Suga looked around cautiously, smile still present on his face, and luckily spotted no one. He lightly took hold of Daichi's upper arm and started walking in the direction of the school pulling Daichi behind him making him almost trip along the way. When Daichi was balanced once again and could walk properly without the need of help from Suga, he bent his knees slightly to get to the height of Suga and planted a soft kiss on Suga's cheek meaking him blush. Suga slowly moved his hand in the direction of Daichi and entertwined their fingers together. That's the way they walked until they got to school.
The two boys went to their lessons and as the day progressed, so did their nervousness. It started off as a tiny bit of nerves right at the back of each of their minds, but as the last lesson ended and they went to the club room to get changed into their kit, their nerves expanded so they were the only thing they could think of. Looking around, hardly any of the other boys looked nervous. Maybe Asahi slightly, but that was expected from him, Yamaguchi, but it looked more like fear mixed with sadness, and Yachi, but she just always looked nervous. Maybe it was a silly thing to be nervous over something they had been planning for almost two weeks, but it was just an emotion they felt was right.
Once everyone was out of the club room, fully dressed and ready for practise, they started stretching. As Suga looked around again, he could see Asahi and Noya sat together, stretching, talking, laughing. He saw Noya steal a few kisses from Asahi leaing the older boy red on the face. He turned to look at the rest of the room, the next thing he saw was Kiyoko and Yachi holding hands sorting out whatever it is mangagers sort out. The next thing he saw was Yamaguchi and Tsukishima bothh stretching with each other while talking. Yamaguchi wearing a wide smile, happiness and content obvious on his face. Tsukishima also seemed to have a happier look on his face than normal. After, he looked at Tanaka talking with Ennoshita, Kinoshita and Narita. Tanaka, as usual, was talking about something in a rather big manner. His arms swinging everywhere as he tried stretching making him lose balance many times. He even saw Coach Ukai and Takeda talking and looking rather fondly at each other. The thing that surprised him most, however, was the fact that Kageyama and Hinata were looking around as well looking rather confused. He tore his gaze off of the other members. There was one person missing. He looked around again, this time only scanning the room, but still saw no sign of Daichi. When he was getting up from his sitting position, he felt arms wrap around his waist. He didn't have to think about who it was. He could tell from not only the big hands but also the smell. He smelt like everything Suga loved. Mainly Daichi.
"Hello." Suga said smiling, his eye lids slowly growing heavier. His body sinking further and further into Daichi's. He loved the fell of Daichi around him. Iit all felt exactly like home.
"Hello," Daichi whispered in Sugas ear, "Don't fall asleep now. We still have practise."
Suga made a noise of reluctance but still opened his eyes and stood up straight. The other guys were just finishing off their stretches. When everyone approached Ukai, Ukai was still looking fondly at Takeda.
"Urgh!" Someone groaned, "I know you people in a relationship want to be all lovey-dovey and all, but some of us," Suga turned to look at the voice owner, Tanaka, to see him making hand movements to show he meant him, Ennoshita, Kinoshita and Narita, "But you don't have to rub it in!"
"Sorry," Everyone said in unison, even Kageyama and Hinata who still looked confused.
"Anyway," Ukai said, "We have one practise match planned so far for later this year and although it's not very close, we still need to practise and get stronger. So today we'll just do some three vs three matches mixing up the players. Some of you may not play with the people you are used to but anyway, get to it."
With that everyone went to do as Coach Ukai said.
--
When practise was over and everyone got changed, Suga and Daichi agreed to go home seperately in order to get ready for the date. Everyone seemed to be somewhere today as well, except the four boys that had no partner.
When Suga got home he didn't bother eating any dinner or anything because he was going on a date later. The date was going to be at a restaurant anyway. It'd be pointless to eat and then eat more. He said 'hi' to his family then ran up the stairs two at a time, his enthusiasm clearly showing through his nerves that were still present.
"Koushi!" He heard his name being shouted from down the stairs.
"Not now I have to get ready for a date!" He shouted back.
He heard the faint chuckle from his mother that he could recognize every time. It was a chuckle he heard often. It was the fond one. The one she used on younger kids when they did something stupid or adorable.
When Suga got to his room, he quickly ran in and shut the door slightly too loudly. He ran around throwing his bag off his shoulder onto the bed and stripped so he was only in his boxers. He started to hang all his clothes up and putting them away into the wardrobe. He then was running around collecting all the things that needed washing and dropped them into a random corner. He would need to remember to take that before leaving with Daichi. When he picked all the dirty things up, he took his socks off and also threw them into the corner. He picked out a new pair of socks and slid them onto his feet. Once he had them on, he quickly rushed to put on his freshly cleaned suit he only wore twice before. It was a normal black suit with a black tie that he thought looked really nice on him. When he checked the time he saw he still had a couple minutes spare before Daichi came. Yeah, they didn't really think much about the date time. Since practise ended earlier than usual due to the highly demanded request, Coach Ukai and Takeda let them go early. This still left the two boys with hardly any time to get ready. The walk home took around ten minutes if he hurried and by the time Daichi would get to Suga's house they would be left with around fourty minutes to get to the restaurant which was roughly a thirty to fourty minute drive. That left them with no other opition but to rush. They were lucky enough to have been let out early otherwise they might have been lte and not made it.
Once Suga finished putting on his trousers, shirt, blazer, and tie, he looked in the mirror to sort his hair out. It wasn't too bad in his opinion but it could look better. He quickly picked up a comb and quickly but gently combed his hair through to help it settle.
"Koushi! I think your date is here!" Suga heard his mum shout.
"Don't open the door yet! I wanna do it!" He shouted back running out the room.
Before he got to the stairs he quickly reversed into his room and picked up the pile of clothes he needed to wash. When he ran down, he skidded and ran into a wall falling over and calling out in pain. His mum came back to help him up, also taking the pile of clothes from his arms letting him go. He put on his shoes but before he opened the door his mum walked up to him sorting out his appearance and spraying him with a spray he recognized as his dad's.
"Thanks," He mumbled then opened the door.
He was shocked. Standing there was Daichi in a suit that made him look a lot more attractive. His hair was done neater than usual, his tie was neatly done, everything about him was neat. In his hands was a bouquet of flowers. It was a mixture of Roses, Gerberas and Alstroemeria. They were beautiful.
"I like your hair," Daichi said awkwardly fiddling with the packaging around the flowers that held them together.
"Th-thanks," Suga stuttered.
He looked down at his hands and then he remembered.
"Mum!" He shouted for her.
When his mum got to him she was holding a box filled with chocolates that Suga was making all night last night. It's harder to make them with nuts and caramel than he thought. His mum handed him the box so he could hand it to Daichi, and he did. Daichi gave him the flowers which Suga then gave to his mum so she could put them in water in his room.
"I like your suit. It," Daichi coughs, "Looks good on you." His voice cracked at the end which made Suga and his mum chuckle.
"Aww you both have the same chuckle!" Daichi exclaimed.
"Haha you're hilarious aren't you?" Suga asked sarcastically. It was a rhetorical question so he wasn't expecting an answer but he did recieve one.
"I do like to think of myself as a comedian. It's something I enjoy doing in my spare time. Especially when it comes to you. I just love hearing you laugh. It's the cutest thing ever." Daichi then made a cooing noise which got him a punch to the chest from Suga.
"Shut up before I kill you in front of my mother." He said in a deadly serious tone. His eyes had a dangerous look in them as well as a playful one mixed with it.
"Sorry!" Daichi exclaimed.
Suga walked out of the house saying bye to his family and grabbed hold of Daichi's hand. He pulled him to the car that was parked outside his house. It was Daichi's car. Suga got in the passenger side while Daichi got in from the drivers side, but before they set off, Daichi put his fingers under Suga's chin and lifted his face up, planting a chaste kiss on Suga's lips. It left Suga breathless. He was in a state of surprise. He didn't expect a kiss just yet. Yes, they may be going out and they have kissed before, but he thought he would have to wait till after the date in order to get a kiss like you would do on a traditional first date. But of course it wasn't their first date. It was, however, their first valentines together.
The car journey was mostly silent. The radio wasn't on as no one thought of turning it on, it was fine with it off. There was conversations here and there but mostly they were quiet. It was a comfortable quiet though. One that you can easily live with. And it seemed to calm a lot of their nerves too. Somehow being in each others presence in a small space was a good way to calm them.
It didn't take long before they were at the restaurant and getting out of the nice, warm, peaceful car.
"Urgh, we have to walk." Suga whined as he walked around the car to take hold of Daichi's hand.
"Don't complain. We're going on a date. Come on! Be more enthusiastic about it!" Daichi said swinging both his and Suga's hand back and forth as he began skipping to the restaurant.
"Please stop. Daichi, I hate to say this but you are kind of embarrassing youself, as well as me, right now." Suga said covering his face with his left hand.
Daichi stopped at those words. His right hand was brought up to his chest and a looks of false pain was marking his features. He looked at Suga with his jaw slightly open and his eyes watering.
"How could you say that?" Daichi said, his voice breaking half way through the sentence, "I thought I meant something to you. I thought that wht we had was real! It turns out you were just like what my mum said. I knew I should have listened to her. I should have gone for the Iitalian!" Daichi said raising his voice every time. His eyes were still foggy, tears sitting in their place, not moving. They were held in place and refused to move.
"Please keep your oice down. I rather we not get kicked out of the restaurant as soon as we enter it." Suga said in a quiet voice.
The two boys entered the fancy restaurant. It had golden curtains covering a couple of the windows, the walls were painted a dark bronze and the tables were a rich wood that neither of them knew the name of. There were booths at the back of the restaurant and in the middle were normal tables.
"Oh my goodness, what is this beautiful place?" Suga whispered to Daichi to not disturb anyones peace.
"I know, I know. Do you like it?" Daichi whisper-asked back.
All Suga did was nod. He was at a loss of words. The more he looked around, the more beautiful it was. He saw all the different things that made this place that much more perfect. The way the light was dimmed near the back for more privacy while the front was nicely lit up so that people could see everything. All Suga could think about was the fact that this was his and Daichi's first Valentines date together. It was the first time they would do something as special as this, not counting Christmas and birthdays, and in such a beautiful place. It was just the most perfect thing ever. Daichi seemed very happy as well, a broad smile on his face as he greeted the receptionist that asked for their reservation. When the lady checked to see if they did indeed have a reservation, Daichi quickly stole a kiss from Suga which made the smaller boy blush a deep shade of red.
"Very well. Would you like to follow me this way?" She asked getting out from behind her desk.
The two boys just nodded and followed shortly after the lady that was leading the way. They sat at one of the back booths that was around the middle of all the booths by the wall.
"A waiter will be with you soon." The lady said. She then walked back to her desk.
Suga looked down at the table seeing Daichi's hand lay atop of it. He swiftly layed his hand on Daichi's and slowly rubbed circles with his thumb, tickling Daichi in the slightest. The boy was very ticklish.
After a couple of minutes of waiting, a waiter approached the two boys asking for their order. Neither knew what to get. It was food they weren't used to and so they didn't know what to get. In the end they just got the first thing they saw that was at a reasonable price. They didn't exactly have the most amount of money.
"Daichi," Suga said gaining his boyfriends attention.
"Yes?" Daichi said raising an eyebrow.
"Why are your hands so ticklish?" Suga asked looking at the hand under his, contemplating whether or not it would be a good idea to start a tickle war in a restaurant. He thought against the idea, however, due to the amount of people surrounding them. They all looked like couples which is understandable as it is Valentines day. Who forgets about a day like that when they are in a relationship?
"I don't really know how to respond to that?" Daichi sounded confused.
When Suga looked up from the two hands he saw that Daichi also looked confused and so he elaborated, "I mean, your hands. I touch they just a tiny bit, I can accidentally swipe my hand across yours, and somehow I manage to tickle you. How does one do that? Doesn't it ever get annoying just having very ticklish hands. It would mean you can't do anything properly."
"Not necessariy. It only tickles when other people touch my hands as you can not tickle yourself." Daichi pointed out.
"Oh yeah." Suga said quietly lowering his head once again.
"You're so stupid sometimes, I swear." Daichi said half-heartedly.
Suga lowered his head completely at that and kept repeating the word 'sorry' over and over again. This got Daichi worried. He didn't want to upset his love on such a special day. He turned his hand so his palm was facing Suga's palm. He then started drawing random shapes, writing random words and just trying to help Suga.
"Please stop apologising. You didn't do anything wrong." Daichi whispered.
Suga lifted his head ever so slightly to look at Daichi. He looked him in the eyes and felt much better straight away.
"Thank you." Suga said. Daichi nodded not quite knowing why Suga was thanking him but not wanting to ask either.
After a few more minutes of waiting, their food finally came and they ate in a nice, calming silence. They spent most of the time just staring at each other and communicating using eyes. They made small conversations here and there but mostly it was just staring into each others eyes and smiling. Smiles that could brighten the day of anyone who was walking past. They were so warm and inviting that they seemed almost unreal. But those smiles were only for each other.
Once the two of them payed and exited the building, they kissed one more innocent kiss and got in the car. While in the car the boys argued over what CD to listen to. Daichi saying NIrvana's 'Nevermind' while Suga was arguing that they should listen to Melanie Martinez's 'Cry Baby'.
"But that CD has no romantic lyrics and it's so creepy!" Daichi exclaimed as he tried not to look at Suga. He was driving and didn't feel like crashing.
"And Nevermind is romantic and not creepy?" Suga said slightly concerned at his boyfriend's lack of logic.
"I see your point but no. We are not listening to Cry Baby," Daichi said in a tone that meant there was no space for arguing.
Suga looked at his surroundings, they were almost at his house and they spent the whole journey arguing over a CD.
"You're right." Suga said. Daichi smiled proudly at that, "We won't listen to either of them because we are arriving at my house." Daichi's smile disappeared.
"Do you have to go home?" Daichi whined behaving like a baby.
"I hope no one from the team or from school at all sees you or hears you like this. It's just too embarrassing. And yes, I do have to go home. It is Thursday tomorrow and we have school." Suga said.
"It's not like we'd do anything other than sleep at mine. Unle-"
"I'm gonna stop you right there thank you very much." Suga said putting a hand over Daichi's mouth.
When the car came to a stop, it was out side of Suga's house. The two boys got out of the car and Daichi walked Suga to the door.
"I had a great time sir, thank you very much for the lovely time and for joining me." Daichi said, acting posh again.
"Me too, kind sir. It was indeed a fine date with such devine delicacies that I have never tried in my life before," Suga replied.
"Ah, yes. The very unique ingredients and meals."
Suga began laughing at the expression Daichi kept pulling every time he spoke. He pulled him down a bit so he could plant his lips on Daichi's. Their lips fit perfectly together. They moved at the perfect time with each other. The passion and love they had for each other was shown in this kiss making Suga feel dizzy. There was a lot of both of those things making the kiss rather long. Too long to call it innocent.
As they pulled apart, Suga was breathless and Daichi was slightly dizzy. When a couple seconds passed and the two boys could function properly, Daichi began walking away.
"I love you," Suga called in a soft voice stopping Daichi.
Daichi turned around with a flushed face and a smile on his face, "I love you too."
