Nowhere I’d Rather Be

He watches the ball hit the floor on the other side of the court, holding his breath, waiting for the confirmation that it’s in bounds and he’s not seeing things. The gym is loud, louder than anything he’s ever heard, and his heart thunders along with the screams of the crowd. He can practically feel the waves of anticipation and worry from the rest of the team, scattered over the court and sidelines, tense and still as they wait. Suga is right beside him, as he always is, one hand clenched in the fabric of Daichi’s jersey, the tiniest tremble just barely noticeable.

Then there’s the call, the roar of excitement as the scorecard gets flipped to the winning number, everything moving in fast forward as they realize that they’re won. Noya yells, nearly flying across the court to tackle Asahi, and Tsukishima lets out a disgruntled noise as Tanaka does the same to him. Daichi doesn’t get to see what happens after that though, because then Suga is right there, his hands braced on Daichi’s cheeks, pulling him in until all Daichi sees is those fluttering lashes before Suga’s lips are on his, warm and soft and so unexpected.

He can’t hear anything but the beating of his heart and the rush of blood in his ears. The screaming of the crowd has disappeared, the yells of his teammates muted. He can’t feel anything except Suga’s breath on his lips and his hands on his face, warm and sweaty even with his fingers partially taped. There’s a single moment he gets when Suga pulls away, blinks his eyes open to stare up into Daichi’s, something like worry clouding the excitement there, one moment when he realizes that even winning the game hadn’t felt this right.

Suga barely gets to move away before Daichi wraps his arms around his waist, squishing him tight to his chest as he leans in to kiss him again, deep and satisfying and perfect. The noise rushes back in, loud and exciting, the cheering of the team so close, and when Daichi pulls away again, Suga is right there, his grin brighter than the sun as he drapes his arms around Daichi’s neck.

Suga has spent days trying to decide what to get Daichi, trying to sort out in his head what an appropriate gift would be for someone who is his closest friend, and also the reason he can’t focus in class. He wants to give him everything, anything in the world that would make him happy, but the more he’s thought about it, the more unavoidable the conclusion has been that what he needs to give Daichi is honesty.

Making the perfect gift to show Daichi his feelings was one thing, but now Suga actually has to give it to him.

Day 3 of DaiSuga Winter Weekend! I’m so glad I was able to do all the days, and that I got to do them with @tsuumei ❤ Happy winter fluff, everyone!

Daichi still isn’t feeling that great, but he’s at least on the upswing, while Suga is solidly in the massively congested and achy zone, which complicates things somewhat. Daichi can’t exactly surprise him with a decorated dorm room if Suga never leaves said room.

“Hey, Kou,” he says softly, brushing sweaty hair out of Suga’s eyes. “Can I get you anything?”

Suga makes a pitiful moaning sound and curls his body into a slightly more compact ball. “I wanna die,” he says

Suga wants all the decorations for Christmas. All of them. Daichi could do without them, but he’d also do anything for his flu-ridden boyfriend.

Day 2 of DaiSuga Winter Weekend collab with @tsuumei! Her art is here ^^

‘Daichi: …is this for me or for you?

Suga: both of us!!

Daichi eyes the package again, wondering if this is strictly accurate. It’s extremely small. He slips his finger under the edge of the paper and pulls it open to reveal nothing but a pair of socks. Fuzzy, red and white striped socks, with a little red nose and antlers at the top. They’re just ugly/cute enough to be exactly something Suga would love, but he has to admit, he’s a little perplexed by his husband’s request now.’

There is some confusion surrounding a pair of Christmas socks, and the absence of anything to wear them with.

It’s DaiSuga Winter Weekend!!! I love cozy winter stories, and I love DaiSuga, and @tsuumei and I were both so excited about this weekend that we had to collaborate and create ALL THE FLUFF. The three days will be together in a series on AO3 (with Mei’s art embedded within the fics!), but each one stands alone, and is related only by theme. Please make sure to see the illustrations in their full sized glory on Mei’s blog! 

Koushi giggles as Daichi croons at him, playful and sweet, singing along with the radio softly playing in the corner, a song in English that they both love on his lips.

“I want a dream lover, so I don’t have to dream alone.”

Daichi grins and sweeps Koushi across the kitchen, their feet slippery on the tile in just fluffy socks, one arm around Koushi’s waist, the other holding Koushi’s hand in the air. “You don’t have to dream alone, you dork.”

“Nope.” Daichi twirls them around, and Koushi can’t help the laughter that bubbles out of him. “Cause I already have my dream lover.”

“Oh?” Koushi tilts his head, playing dumb. “And who’s this lover? Have I ever met them?”

“Brat.” Daichi leans in and kisses him, stealing his breath away. Koushi doesn’t even realize that they’ve stopped moving until Daichi has pulled away again, smiling sweetly down at him. “You’re everything I’ve ever wanted, you know.”

Koushi smiles up at him, and he knows he looks ridiculously in love, but that’s okay. “And you’re a sap.”

Daichi drops his hands to Koushi’s waist, and before Koushi can squirm away, starts tickling. It leaves them both in tearful laughter by the time he stops, and Koushi leans against Daichi’s chest as he tries to get his breath back. Daichi’s hands are a comforting weight on his hips, warm even through his shirt. “Your sap, though.”

Koushi giggles a little as Daichi peppers his face in tiny kisses. “Yeah.” Daichi grins down at him, cheeks pink. “You’re perfect. My everything.”

He rises on his toes just enough to capture Daichi’s mouth, wrapping his arms around his neck. They just stand there for a moment after pulling away, gazing at each other, and Koushi wonders how he got so lucky. The song on the radio fades out to something else, another soft, sweet song, and Daichi moves them again, until they’re swaying and dancing slowly across the floor, perfectly in sync.

“Dream lover, where are you With a love, oh, so true And the hand that I can hold To feel you near as I grow old~~”
