“Oh my god, babe, stop, I’m not alone,” Suga giggles into the phone. It’s a sugary sound, not his normal laugh, though it’s somewhat become his normal laugh over the last month with how much he’s done it over the damn phone.

best friend to fucking hang up this stupid asinine phone call so they can get back to studying. His history notes have gotten no where since Suga picked up to the annoyingly bubbly KPop ringtone that he only uses for one specific person.

word makes him grind his teeth harder, surely ruining all the hard work his orthodontist did back in middle school. But.... yeah. Suga’s boyfriend.

biting his lip in the most adorable way with the cutest little blush while texting the Seijoh captain. And who could blame him? Not Daichi. Not when Oikawa fucking Tooru is the only person he’s ever met that comes close to Suga or Shimizu level of beauty.

himself and bitched to Asahi but otherwise been perfectly supportive of his best friend’s completely obnoxious relationship. He’s a /good/ friend, Suga’s /best/ friend and even if he’d like to be /a lot more than that/ he can suck it up and let Suga be happy. Even if it sucks. +
So when Suga finally hangs up he has every intention of politely laughing it off so they can get back to their homework, but instead he bites out the thought that’s been banging around dangerously in his mind for the last two weeks.
“When’s this going to be over, Suga?” +

Bright hazel eyes pop a little wider as they stare back at him. Fuck. Daichi’s done it now. How the hell does he rectify this? Does he rectify this? Or does he—

this is what he’s been saying to Asahi but /not/ something he should be saying to Suga. /Has/ his laugh sounded way too light and airy with Oikawa? Sure. Daichi much preferred the husky little chuckle that rippled out of him when they walked home together.
But what right did +

Except he doesn’t. His fluffy premature-grey eyebrows lift nearly to his hairline as he chews on his lower lip. Which is also +

“How long have you known?”
And now it’s Daichi’s eyebrows raising. He doesn’t know how to answer that, though. What kind of response is that? A question for a question? So typical Suga. Maybe if he just stays silent long enough Suga will keep going and +

he won’t have to dig himself an even deeper hole than he’s already in.
No such luck, though. As the silence stretches, he clears his throat once, his voice stuff gruff in his embarrassment.

And now Suga huffs, crossing his arms over his chest. Which is so fucking cute it hurts.
“How long have you known it was fake? Me and Tooru?”
Daichi’s eyebrows might actually merge with his hair at that point. Fake? It was all.. fake? He’d been angry and annoyed and jealous +

Suga shakes his head now, a wry laugh escaping, “I guess it doesn’t matter does it? Didn’t exactly work as planned anyways.”

gaze, or the elegant way his hands moved while telling a story. He’s not usually lost in the situation itself. He needs Suga to explain, he needs to understand. If Suga /isn’t/ actually dating Oikawa Tooru, why had he been pretending?
Who had he been pretending for? +

“Please don’t make me explain this, Daichi, it’s humiliating enough that you knew this whole time.”
Suga’s laugh isn’t the syrup-sweet monstrosity he’s been using, but it’s not the crackling-fire warmth Daichi’s used to, either. It’s dry, brittle. He hates this one even more. +

But Daichi can’t say anything, he really /does/ need Suga to explain, so he sits. He waits. A pillar. A foundation of patience. Until Suga heaves out a breath and the words tumble out of him like the sudden release of a dam before a waterfall.

The last bit comes out in a near-whisper. “Because I’m really into you and it kind of sucks.”
He looks up to meet Daichi’s eyes, blown completely wide in something that might be surprise... or horror. There’s a wince as he murmurs almost painfully, “Please say something.” +

When Daichi finally finds the words, they’re not exactly what he meant to say, but he hasn’t said the right thing all day so why start now?

rid them of the infinitesimal amount of space between them. Daichi holds his hair, keeps him still as he laughs again.

that part, though. Well... at least right away. Daichi would cave at some point and tell him and be teased forever, but really what does it matter? Daichi would hear that husky-warm campfire laugh again finally, the one Suga did just for him. The thought warms him, even as +
Suga’s cool hand on his arm makes him shiver. He locks eyes and rumbles out, “Ask me again.” Suga tips his head to the side. So fucking cute. “Ask me again how long I’ve known.”
Suga’s smile is hesitant as he parrots the question, “How long have you known, Daichi?”

his hand on the back of Suga’s neck again, drawing him in closer as he whispers just loud enough to be heard over the sound of his heart pounding, “Just since the day I met you, Koushi.”
