Safe With You - KyoYama (Kyotani x Yamaguchi) -Haikyu!!-

Chapter 2: Little Things

"Yamaguchi? Where did you come from?" Tsukishima was surprised to see him coming from another street.

"From home?"

"You didn't come from the direction of your house though..." It's true, he was just on his way there.

"I mean, I bought something from the nearby store first."

"Okay?" Tsukishima squinted his eyes as the freckled boy walk past him. He was obviously worried. The freckled boy was acting weird these past days. "Look, if it's about Shoyo I told you you can still join us you know. Besides, he likes talking with you than his own boyfriend."

"Where is Hinata?" Yamaguchi looked around. 

Tsukishima just buried his hands in his pocket, frowning. "He's with the King, they always go out so early for a jog." That's what you get when your boyfriend is a literal ball of energy. 

Yamaguchi can't help but laugh a little at how cute his best friend is when he's jealous. The tall blonde did make an effort to jog with his boyfriend at first but he just can't keep up with him despite having long legs. 

Good thing Tsukishima is a simp. So Yamaguchi managed to escape interrogation by asking about his relationship or talking about Hinata. Everything was normal that day, until the end of practice.

"Is it just me, or is Yamaguchi going home earlier these days?" Tanaka was the first to say it. The entire team did notice Yamaguchi was not staying to hang out a lot after their practices. Unless it's a scheduled one, of course. 

 "You didn't fight again right Kei?" Hinata looked at his boyfriend, judging him with a cute pout.

The tall blonde just released a deep sigh, before ruffling the tangerine's hair. "No sunshine. I didn't."

It's not like the team didn't ask Yamaguchi, it's just he always says "I just need to go home early" which they could tell was total bullshit. So Tanaka and Nishinoya came up with a genius plan.

Spy on him when he leaves.

Hinata was in on it and dragged his boyfriend too. As much as Tsukishima was worried about his best friend he didn't really want to spy on him. But he was lying if he said he wasn't curious.

"I'm off guys! See you tomorrow!" Yamaguchi waved at them before running. This was their cue. The four spies looked at one another.

Operation: Keeping Our Precious French Fry Safe begins.

Meanwhile, Kyotani was in an independent gym near his place, practicing his spikes. A normal routine for the mad dog. His focus was interrupted when he heard his phone's notification. When he picked it up he saw a message from Yamaguchi.

On my way home! Keep up the good work! 😁😊🤣😘- Yama

Just like that, a smile formed on his face without him even realizing it. It hurt a little but he's getting used to smiling like a dork from time to time. Plus no one was really around that time. So no need to hide it. 

Still, he can't believe he smiled because Yamaguchi calls his place "home" now. Kyotani went to grab his things, leaving earlier than usual. Before Kyotani practices until the gym close, now he just plays until Yamaguchi gets home. 

Meanwhile, on the Foursome Spies. They managed to secure a good vantage point from a nearby bush. Tsukishima was surprised to see that Yamaguchi headed to an unfamiliar street. He was even more surprised when he entered an unfamiliar house.

When the lights went on, they can see Yamaguchi alone. "Is this where he lives Tsukki?" Noya peeked out of the bush they were hiding at.

"Don't call me that," Tsukishima said. "And no, this is definitely not his house."

"Whose house is that then?" Tanaka titled his head a little. No one knew the answer. (Except us obviously)

Inside, as soon as Yamaguchi noticed Kyotani was not home. He immediately wore his pink apron and got started. Tonight he wanted to make pancakes! He was extra sure he got it right this time since he did practice making them secretly. Of course, he bought his own ingredients since Kyotani would scold him for wasting food again.

So he went to review his checklist.
