『tendou satori × ushijima wakatoshi』

⸙.

『彼は何も見えません...彼の周りのすべてが真っ暗です。』

A loud ring from the smartphone echoed against the four corners of the room, waking a certain man up. He looked around, patting around him 'til he felt a small rectangular object just beneath his pillow.

Pressing the answer button, he placed the phone on his ear. [Good morning, Wakatoshi-kun!]

Tendou's voice immediately brought a timid smile to Ushijima's face. "Morning, Tendou."

[In twelve hours, we could see each other again! I can't wait to see you! Anyway, what are you doing right now?]

Ushijima stood up, using the wall as his support. "I just got home from my morning jog, kinda tired."

[I told you to rest, didn't I? You're not getting any younger, y'know?]

"I know, but how can I even play volleyball if I don't exercise?"

[Hmph, don't tell me you're pushing yourself too much again?]

"Don't worry, I know my limits," Ushijima answered, opening his refrigerator. "Did you eat before going to the airport?"

[Yup, my colleagues were almost crying when they found out that I'm finally coming home, but they know that I haven't seen you in ten years, so they told me that they'll visit us once in a while. What time is it there in Japan?]

"Hmm... around 8:30 in the morning, I think."

[Did you eat breakfast already?]

"Yeah," Ushijima replied as he pulls out a carton of milk and a pack of loaf bread. "I cooked the recipe that you told me before. It tastes good."

[Haha, I know right? It was the easiest healthy meal that you could do since I don't want you to eat fast food all the time. Will you cook it for me once I got back?]

"I'll cook it for you, no matter how many times, whenever you want it," Ushijima leaned his head to the left, holding the phone in place between his ear and his shoulder as he sits down. "I miss you."

[Awe, I miss you more.] Tendou responded on the other line. [I can't wait to hug you.]

As they exchange sweet little talks, even if it's just through a phone call, Ushijima and Tendou felt the same- eagerto see each other, after a decade of being apart. Ushijima likes phone calls the most; he could hear his husband's voice live, and could interact with it. Tendou's voice was playful all of the time; he loved hearing it, and he felt comfortable... as if Tendou was just right beside him.

[Once I got home, you need to take me on a tour around Japan.] Tendou stated. [I feel like I need to catch up on a lot of things.]

"Japan didn't change that much," The olive-haired gentleman took a large bite of the bread. "It's still the same old Japan that I used to live in."

[You sounded more like a foreigner than I do, Wakatoshi-kun.] Tendou chortled in laughter. [I don't see you that much in matches nowadays. Is everything okay there?]

"Yeah, the coach told me that they'll let the others play my position first."

[Eeeh? Why?]

"I don't know."

[Maybe you didn't prove your value yet, Wakatoshi-kun. I'll see that coach once I got there, and ask him directly why.]

"No need for that," After he found the plastic glass in the sink, Ushijima returned to the table. He placed the tip of his finger in the glass, and once he felt the milk touching his finger, he closed the lid and drank it. "Do you want to watch movies when you got here?"
