In Love With My Best Friend (Tsukki x Yams)

13: Shattered.

The team said their thanks towards Sugawara for letting them stay at the beach house as they packed it up, ready to get home. They all loaded up on the bus, Yamaguchi took a seat next to Tsukki, as all of the others took seats next to each other also. 

As always, the bus was chaotic with the screaming, shouting and laughter coming from all of the other boys. No matter how loud it was, or how quiet it could've gotten, Yamaguchi always enjoyed the scene of his friends. 

As Tsukishima looked out the window, watching all of the people and objects pass, a wild idea struck in Yamaguchi's mind. Yams flipped Tsukki's left hand, slipping his own into the tall boy's one. Yamaguchi thought that Tsukishima was going to freak out but instead, the blonde boy just squeezed the smaller boy's hand. 

A hint of blush grew on both of their faces as they continued to intertwine hands.

"Well guys, it was wonderful to have you at the beach house!" Sugawara exclaimed, "remember, practice tomorrow so be here early." He continued on, waving goodbye to all of the boys. 

By the time they got back from the beach house, it was already night time so per usual, Tsukishima and Yamaguchi walked home together. But this time, they were walking hand in hand. Yams swung both of their hands back and forth, like a little child. 

"You're making my arm hurt." Tsukishima grumbled, his arm still swinging along with Yamaguchi's. Through the night and the ride back, those two haven't let go of each other. It's like they were already a couple but, they weren't at the same time. 

"Heh, sorry Tsukki." Yamaguchi rubbed his neck with his other hand, stopping the swinging. They ended up at the place they usually part so, Yamaguchi let go of Tsukishima's hand, waving goodbye. 

"Wait." Tsukishima stopped the freckled boy in his tracks. "Do you wanna come over?" Tsukki asked the nervous Yamaguchi, who was now turning to face him. 

"O-oh?" Yamaguchi stammered because Tsukishima never normally asked him to come back to his house this late at night. Of course, they would have study times and movie nights but not too late. "Sure!" Yamaguchi excitedly exclaimed, running back to Tsukki's side. 

Tsukishima just gave Yamaguchi a small smile, walking back to his house with the freckled boy in hand. 

Time skip

"We can watch a movie if you like." Tsukishima told Yamaguchi, who was taking his shoes off and stepping inside. "You can go and head up to my room, I'll be there." Tsukki walked over to the movie shelf while Yams ran upstairs to his bedroom. 

Tsukishima had that simplistic type of bedroom where he doesn't really have anything to decorate. He had a few pictures and posters up on the wall, and all the other basics people have in their own rooms. 

"Here." Tsukishima walked in, throwing Yamaguchi a bag of chips. Tsukki climbed into the bed, switching the TV to netflix. "What do you wanna watch?" He asked Yams, throwing him the remote. 

Yamaguchi scrolled through the options for a while, not knowing what to pick. Yams was always indecisive when it came to movie night but, Tsukishima still always handed him the remote. He knew that but he still wanted to give Yamaguchi the option to choose. 

"Tsukki, I don't know. You choose." Yamaguchi sighed, tossing the blonde boy the remote. Tsukishima scrolled through the options a bit more, ending up at one of Yams' least favorite genres. "Just not--" Tsukki cut him off by clicking one of the scariest movies. 

Was there some ulterior motive to picking the Ring? Yes. A movie that scares Yamaguchi? Yes. 

30 minutes in...

"AHH!" Yamaguchi shrieked, jumping into Tsukishima's arms. See? That was the ulterior motive Tsukki had in mind. 

"You scream like a little girl." Tsukishima chuckled, Yamaguchi's arms clinging onto him. "It's hilarious." He continued to laugh, squeezing Yamaguchi tight. That was another one of the reasons he chose a horror movie. It always made Tsukishima laugh on how loud and high pitched Yams screeched. 

"You know I hate this movie." Yamaguchi sighed, his breath a bit shaky. He fumbled with Tsukishima's shirt a bit, not wanting to look up at the lady on the screen. 

"Yeah, yeah, I know." Tsukishima remarked, fidgeting with Yamaguchi's slim fingers. "It's just funny to see how you react." He snickered, making Yams whine in annoyance. 

1 hour later...

Yamaguchi dozed off while fumbling around with Tsukki's shirt, laying his head on the taller boy's chest. But when he woke up, the blonde boy was gone.

When he finally got his vision cleared, he decided to go down and check for Tsukishima. He could hear two people chattering a bit, Tsukishima's voice stood out but he also heard a...female voice. 'Who could be here at this time?' Yamaguchi thought to himself, checking the clock to see that it was already 10:00. 

Yamaguchi peeked around the corner, and what he saw made him instantly turn back around. 

He could hear his heart physically shatter. Like an expensive vase being slammed to the ground, shattering into thousands, maybe millions of pieces. Tears threatened to overflow Yamaguchi's eyes as they started to sting. 

In the doorway was that girl from the cafe, the girl Yamaguchi had a hatred for. On the other side of her was Tsukishima...practically sticking his tongue down her throat. That's what it looked like to Yamaguchi at least. Before Tsukki could see Yams, he darted upstairs to the room, making sure to quiet his footsteps. 

Yamaguchi quickly grabbed his bag, tempted to just jump out of the window so he wouldn't run into his best friend. Before he had time to contemplate that ridiculous idea, Tsukishima entered the room, startling Yamaguchi. 

"Sorry, someone was at the do--oh you're leaving already?" Tsukishima asked, in a quite disappointed tone of voice. Yamaguchi didn't understand why he sounded so disappointed but, he didn't decide to question it. 

"Y-yeah, it's pretty late so I'm gonna head home." Yamaguchi tried his best not to let the tears come back up while he faced Tsukki. "Thanks for the movie." He added, speeding out of the room with his head down.

"Are you okay--?" Tsukishima just watched Yamaguchi dart out of the room, not staying to hear his question. 

Tsukishima just stood there, wondering why Yamaguchi was in such a rush. That wasn't until he realized that Yams may have saw him and that girl kissing. Tsukki didn't hesitate to question that because, he darted right after Yamaguchi this time...once again. 

"YAMAGUCHI, WAIT!" He shouted, running outside to see no trace of his once smiling best friend.
