Chapter Text
Since Tadashi hadn’t gone to school on Friday, Tsukki came to his door Saturday night with a nonchalant expression.
Tadashi had tried really, really hard to hide the fact that his face was burning, but he was sure that it didn’t work. His reactions were really too obvious. This was why he was a disaster bi.
“Tsukki! What are you… doing here?” Tadashi asked and Tsukki shrugged. “Just came to see if you were feeling better, I guess. Can I come in?” Tadashi nodded, opening the door a bit wider, and Tsukki entered, changing his shoes into the pair of slippers that he had at Tadashi’s house.
There was a slightly nervous, airy feeling in Tadashi’s chest as they walked towards his bedroom. It was weird, honestly - he and Tsukki had hung out thousands of times, practically - there was no reason for him to be nervous like this. He had never felt this way before, but maybe it was just because this was the first time he noticed how handsome his best friend was.
But he tried to push that thought away. He had to focus on being normal and not acting like his heart was beating out of his chest.
They got to Tadashi’s bedroom and Tsukki sat down on the bed, like usual. Okay, this was fine. Nothing was out of the ordinary.
Until Tsukki spoke up.
“You’ve been more distant lately,” he muttered, nonchalantly, making it seem like it wasn’t a big deal. Tadashi had always envied him for his skill in that. “Is everything okay?”
Tadashi heart only fluttered a little bit at that, so, bonus points. He shrugged. “Yeah, I’ve been… figuring some stuff out. Sorry that we haven’t been hanging out as much.” Tsukki shrugged in response. “I don’t care if you have your own life.” Tadashi blinked at him, then nodded quickly. “Right, I - yeah.”
I should tell him, he thought briefly. He deserves to know, he’s my best friend.
“Tsukki,” he started and the blond looked up, raising an eyebrow. “I have to tell you -” He cut himself off, his anxiety getting the better of him. His words were choked off as his stomach tightened with nervousness.
Tsukki tilted his head to the side, patiently waiting for him to continue. Looking into his eyes, Tadashi felt… safe. He knew he could tell Tsukki anything. They’d been through everything together. There was absolutely no reason for him to be worried.
“I-I’m bi.”
Tsukki’s eyebrows furrowed, just the slightest bit before he nodded. “Okay,” he said. Tadashi nodded back, slightly surprised by his nonchalant air. “Do you… Do you care?” he asked quietly. Now Tsukki looked confused. He shook his head a bit. “The only thing I care about is that you’re… honest with yourself.” He looked down. “And happy,” he added, almost as an afterthought.
“Thank you for telling me, Yamaguchi,” Tsukki continued, a small smile making its way onto his features. Tadashi felt his cheeks get hot at the sight. “I’m glad that you could trust me.”
“You’re my best friend,” Tadashi said, softly sitting down next to Tsukki on the bed. “I trust you with everything.” Tsukki turned to him, that same soft smile on his face. Tadashi’s heartbeat got just a bit faster. “I trust you, too,” the blond whispered. Tadashi leaned his head on Tsukki’s shoulder like they used to do when they were kids. He expected the usual reaction: Tsukki letting out an ironically annoyed scoff before lifting his shoulder so Tadashi would remove his head with an equally ironic “sorry, Tsukki.” That reaction didn’t come, though, and instead, Tadashi felt Tsukki relax into the proximity before gently resting his head on top of Tadashi’s.
They remained like that for a time that Tadashi didn’t count and honestly didn’t care to, simply basking in the silence. Their friendship had never especially needed much talking, not after all the years that they had known each other. Tadashi found that even without words, Tsukki could detect every tell in order to see his true feelings and thoughts, and vice versa. It occurred to Tadashi that maybe, just maybe, he had been in love with Tsukki for a long time, even if he didn’t know when or how it had happened. Tsukki was his other half. They completed each other like it was natural.
Oh.
Tsukki spoke up again, breaking the silence in a voice barely above a whisper. “I need to tell you something, too.” He turned his head, slightly, and Tadashi mimicked the movement. There was hardly a couple of inches of space between them, and from the distance, Tadashi couldn’t help but focus on the way that Tsukki’s eyes sparkled in the faint glow of the fairy lights strung above Tadashi’s bed, or how his blond hair curled softly at the ends.
“I’ve been thinking a lot lately,” Tsukki added, “about you.”
“What about me?” Tadashi whispered back, cheeks only burning a little bit. Tsukki looked down, biting his lip, as if he couldn’t find the words, but met Tadashi’s eyes again after a few seconds. “These past couple weeks… I - missed you, a lot,” he said. “It’s because I… I’ve liked you, for a long time.” Tadashi’s eyebrows furrowed externally, but on the inside, his heart stopped beating. Despite what Oikawa had told him, he thought that was just the third year being overdramatic. He hadn’t thought there was any truth to his theory, but when Tsukki met his eyes…
Tadashi was pretty sure his soul left his body.
“You don’t have to like me back,” Tsukki said, in that nonchalant way he did when he was afraid of showing that he cared. There was underlying anxiety to it, though, that Tadashi picked up on immediately. Right as he opened his mouth to accept the confession, tell Tsukki that he did like him back and he would love to try and start something more-than-friends, the blond continued. “Staying friends is fine with me, especially if you like someone -”
Tadashi cut him off by leaning forward the short remaining distance between them and cutting off Tsukki’s rambling by pressing his lips to the blond’s.
“Tsukki,” he whispered when they pulled apart, and holy shit the look on his best friend’s face was hilarious - Tadashi hadn’t seen him that shocked since he had yelled at him at their training camp, “I do like you back.”
Tsukki’s eyes filled with relief that he didn’t let show on his face before he nodded. “So… boyfriends?”
Tadashi smiled, trying to keep cool as his heartbeat a million miles a minute in his chest. “Yeah,” he said, giving Tsukki a peck on the cheek. “Boyfriends.”
