Love Hurts (Teruyama)

Chapter Nine

 "Freckles!" Someone shouted, catching Yamaguchi by surprise.

 Yamaguchi spun around, and saw none other than Terushima.

 "Teru? what are you doing here?" He asked, pulling Terushima into a hug.

 "What? I can't go to store without something going on?" Terushima was grinning like a madman.

 "When you're giving me that look, no." Yamaguchi's eyes drifted down a bit, and he noticed that Terushima was holding something behind his back. "Teru, what is that?"

 "Oh, nothing-" Terushima thrust a bag into Yamaguchi's hands, "-just a present from your awesome boyfriend."

 Yamaguchi raised an eyebrow, and opened the bag. When he did, his eyes lit up, and his mouth watered. "French fries!" He shouted happily. "Thank you so much!"

 Terushima chuckled. "You're welcome."

 "How did you know I was at the store though?" Yamaguchi questioned, putting a few french fries in his mouth.

 "Saltyshima," He answered, smirking. "I asked him where you were, he asked me why I wanted to know. I said, 'cause I wanted to surprise you. Then, after about 10 minutes of pestering him, he finally told me that you were at the store."

 Yamaguchi sighed, and gave Terushima a look. "I really appreciate this, but, next time, please don't annoy Tsukki."

 Terushima waved his hand dismissively. "Ah, he'll be fine. Besides, how else am I supposed to surprise you with your favorite food?" He asked, putting his arm around Yamaguchi. "Anyways, what're you doin' here?"

 Yamaguchi flushed red. He didn't want to tell Terushima that he was looking for a birthday present for Terushima. His birthday was coming up soon, and Yamaguchi had wanted to get something special. Something that he didn't think anyone would get Terushima. Something that he knew Terushima would love.

 "Nothing." Yamaguchi silently cursed himself for that stupid answer.

 Terushima quirked an eyebrow. "Nothin' huh?"

 Yamaguchi gave a feeble nod, hoping that Terushima wouldn't catch on.

 Terushima nodded. "So, just walking around stores is popular now?"

 Yamaguchi hesitated. "Uh, well, no..."

 "So, what are you doing here?" Terushima asked, leaning up to Yamaguchi. "Tell the truth."

 Yamaguchi could feel his face heating up. "T-Teru, I-uh, you- you're standing on my foot..." He muttered, pointing at his foot.

 Terushima glanced down, then stepped away. "Sorry. But, seriously, what are you doing here?"

 Yamaguchi ran a hand through his hair. "Uh, just buying some...food!" He stated. "Yep. Buying food."

 "Oh. Mind if I tag along? I don't really have anything else to do."

 Yamaguchi internally screamed. He wanted Terushima to come along, but he needed to find a resent. "Sure."

 "Great!" Terushima shouted, grabbing Yamaguchi's hand. "So, what are we getting first?"

 Yamaguchi had spent practically the entire day with Terushima, and he didn't really get the chance to find any possible gifts for Terushima, but his trip wasn't in vain. Since he was with Terushima the entire time, he got to ask questions, and find out things that Terushima liked and disliked. He also finished his french fries within the span of 30 minutes, and so Terushima got him another bag, so that was, in Yamaguchi's eyes, a big plus.

 "Bye, Teru!" Yamaguchi waved as got off the bus. "See ya some other time!"

 Terushima waved goodbye, and then gave Yamaguchi a wink, which then made Yamaguchi go a deep shade of red.

 When the bus left, Yamaguchi let out a deep sigh, and smiled. Maybe it's not so bad that Teru knows about the disease, he thought to himself. Maybe it'll go away soon.

(A/N~ I'm really sorry that this chapter was so short, I was on a time limit, so you can't hold that against me. I promise that the next chapter will definitely be longer [although, I can't guarantee that it'll be published by tomorrow]. Thanks for reading this [terrible] chapter. I promise that the next one will be better.)
