It was Different (Daisuga- Haikyuu Fanfiction)

Chapter 2

Take it slow but it's not typical
He already knows that my love is fire
His heart was a stone, but then his hands roam
I turned him to gold and I took him higher
But I'll be your daydream, I'll wear your favorite things
We could be beautiful, get drunk on the good life
I'll take you to paradise
Say you'll never let me go

Over the next 7 days, the two of them met after Daichi's shift ended, sat in that same couch in that nice corner, and talked for hours. They got more comfortable around each other. They both knew a lot of random facts about the other. They had told stories, found things they both liked and differences as well.

Today, Friday, was Daichi's last day of work. It was a bit quieter between them, not that they were sad or upset, they had exchanged numbers to keep in touch.

It was easy to tell how much closer they'd gotten, both physically and socially, but obviously, the physically part went unknown to both. Sugawara had his feet kicked up on the couch, and had them resting over Daichi's lap, they were sitting so close that Sugawara was almost in his lap.

"That can't be true." Daichi retorts.

"Of course it's true, I'm serious it happened!"

"Ok so, when you got home, you tripped over Shadow, splattered the cupcakes, and then she scratched you 'cause you woke her up?"

"Scratched me?! Hah! I wish! She was downright savage; I have a scar on my neck." Sugawara claims, a hand automatically going to his neck. "And then guess what? I tried to cook dinner, and my oven turned into Lucifer. Food? Gone, burned to a crisp, it didn't deserve its end, my food deserved better. My building should be glad I didn't burn down their house." He finishes, mumbling.

Instead of consolation, he gets a long laugh out of Daichi.

"Oi! Don't laugh, freakin' rude..."

"How can I not? I mean who has such bad luck on their birthday?" He defends, trying to catch his breath.

"I do!"

"Well maybe you shouldn't have gotten a black cat for the birthday before that." He mocked. Sugawara responded with an annoyed expression and a slap at Daichi's shoulder. Unknown to him, that slap was so hard Daichi was sure he coughed up a part of his soul.

"Shut up..." Sugawara mumbled lamely. "I still love her, she's the damn devil but she has her moments... And she's not all black, more dark gray with black stripes."

"Okay." Daichi says with a light laugh [and consoling his poor shoulder].

8 o'clock rolled around, and a comfortable silence had settled. A decent number of customers were still minding their business, Daichi and Sugawara were still on the couch together.

"Hey," Sugawara starts, catching Daichi's attention. "play this game with me." He demands, placing the end of a Pocky in his mouth. [oya oya]

Noo no no no what am I doing why am I asking him to kiss me, well... I want to kiss him, but I can't just- not like this!

"What? No, don't be stupid." He looks away immediately after. Unknown to Sugawara, it was because a slight blush had risen to his cheeks.

Despite knowing he shouldn't say anymore, Daichi's immediate rejection annoyed him, made him more determined to convince him.

"Aw c'mon Sawamura, it's not stupid... or are you just scared to play it with me." He teased, waving around the snack before placing it back between his lips.
