The Moon's Redamancy In Fall [Tsukishima x Yamaguchi]

"What the hell are you doing here?" I half shouted and whispered through the phone call, peering over the window where Tsukki stood next to a tree.

Tsukki was wearing his thick jacket and with his hood on, he shuffled his feet on the ground before speaking, "I had to ditch a party," He relented, his voice slightly wavering from the cold temperature, biting his lower lip, his gaze still glued at me by the window.

I sighed through the phone, a half part of me was so happy that I could feel the adrenaline rushing through my veins by the sight of him and it almost feel like I'm exhilarated. No. I really am satisfied. And by the other half rests the anxiety and fear that my mom might find out that Tsukki's freaking outside the window, and it's almost midnight.

Panic creeping up to my throat, I speak again, "You can't be here, my mom's going to kill me!" An exasperated sigh escaped my lips, I uttered and fretted while our eyes meet.

"Just let me in," He grunted through the call, and I felt my heartbeat against my chest so hard because fundamentally, I'm about to do something inevitable.

My eyebrows formed a slight furrow, at the back of my head I wanted to let him in, like what we usually do back when we were kids. I miss those days. But my anxiety and fear over my mom kicks in, "No, go home," I premised with certainty in my voice even though I didn't want him to go.

Tsukki steps out of the shade making me have a better look, giving an eyeful towards the window, he entreated as if begging, "Come on! Let me in. It's not like we're doing this for the first time!" He argued.

"No,"

"Let me in or I'll scream," He pushed.

I shuddered and glowered towards him, "Don't you dare," I warned.

God, don't make this hard for me, Tsukishima Kei.

He took a deep breath, as if he's ready to yell, "Let. Me. In." Tsukki mumbled in between his breathing.

A groan making its way out of my lips as I try to muster his stubborness, if he's here right beside me, I would've already hit him, "I swear if you yell-"

"YAMAGUCHI LET ME-"

My heart feels like it literally jumped out of my chest when I heard his peircing yell especially that I almost forgot we were still on call making my brain shake from his yell. Damn it, I literally forgot that my phone was pointed directly on my ear, I cut his voice immediately with a lot of shushes, "Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up." I repeated myself over and over again, shaking my head in disapproval.

I knew Tsukki wouldn't give up that easily. He never gives up on arguments that quick especially if the person he's arguing with is me. Which annoys me and it gets on my nerves because most of the time he would just win over me.

I swear to god, if my mom finds out-

"Tadashi? Who are you talking to?" My mom's voice could be heard just outside my door, my nerves immediately jangled when I realized that she's outside, I jolted to where I stood but then relaxes when I realized that I had locked the door.

My voice coming out a stutter, my eyes darted to the door, "U-Uh . . . I'm just talking to . . . uh, Yachi," I abruptly said. I was hoping I wasn't being too obvious.

My mom didn't speak for a few seconds, and I hear her footsteps shuffling, "Don't stay up too late, okay? Say 'hi' to Yachi-san for me," She said in a singsong voice and I cringed.

Giving my attention back to Tsukki who was still standing outside, he gave me a smug smirk, "Are you going to let me in or what?" He asked, again, contemptuously.
