"What did you do this time?"

About two years ago, Tanaka and Kiyoko started dating and they've been doing pretty well. Sometimes, when Tanaka gets a bit too wild, Kiyoko kicks him out and he always manages to find his way to Suga's apartment.

A slightly guilty look crossed Tanaka's face as he muttered under his breath, "Well, you see... I may or may not have accidentally thrown my playstation controller at the tv."

"Accidently?" Suga questioned, tossing the towel in his hand aside. Tanaka immediately nodded at the grey-haired man.

"Yeah, I didn't mean to. Some punk was being a little shit and I was upset!"

"So you threw the controller?"

Tanaka opened his mouth to argue, but closed it after a few seconds, realizing it was no use fighting with the man.

"What's the time?" Suga asked as he walked through the living room to the kitchen? Tanaka replied with "almost five". "Want some ramen? I made a pot two days ago, but I have some leftover."

"Yeah, sure. Sounds good."

Suga grabbed a pot from the cupboard, filling it with water before placing it on the stove.

As Suga waited for the water to boil, he and Tanaka talked. Of course, they didn't talk about Suga's feelings for Daichi. As far as anyone knew, Daichi and Suga were just best friends.

It's not like anything could happen between them anyway with Daichi and Aiko together. Suga shook the thoughts from his mind as he finished up the ramen and split it into two bowls. He shouldn't be worrying about that. Right now, he needs to spend time with his friend.

"Got any plans for this weekend?" Tanaka asked curiously, noodles being shoveled into his mouth. Suga nodded as he smiled.

"Daichi is taking me to an aquarium on Sunday that opened recently."

"The one in Tokyo?" Suga nodded at the man's question, taking a bite of his ramen. "Cool. I heard it's pretty sick. I've been wanting to go there with Kiyoko, but she's still scared of sharks so..."

Suga let out a laugh at Tanaka's bummed expression. The pair continued talking about random subjects until about seven-thirty before they decided to watch some TV.

°°°

Suga and Tanaka had stayed up pretty late last night, leaving Suga groggy this morning when he woke up at nine. He dragged himself to the kitchen to make a pot of coffee.

As soon as the coffee was done, Suga poured some into a mug he had received as a graduation gift from the volleyball team. There was a joke among the players that Suga was the mom of the team so they all pitched in together and got him a coffee mug that said Karasuno High School Volleyball Club's #1 Mom.

Under that, it had a selfie that Asahi had taken of all of them, including Ukai, Takeda, Kiyoko, and Yachi. Those were fun times, playing volleyball with some of his best friends. There are times when Suga wishes he could go back in time and relive it.

Suga went to the living room and sipped his coffee as he switched on the television, watching the first thing to pop up. It just so happened to be a cartoon.

After about an hour, Suga heard the door to the guest bedroom open and close as Tanaka practically crawled into the kitchen, making himself a cup of coffee as well. It was cold now, but Tanaka was too tired to care. He joined Suga on the couch and they watched TV together.

After about five minutes, Suga spoke. "How long do you plan on staying?"

Tanaka's eyes darted to Suga, "Till tomorrow if that's okay with you."

Suga only nodded. He didn't care if Tanaka stayed for an entire month, let alone two nights. Tanaka was his friend, and he would let him stay as long as he liked.

After whatever cartoon was on the tv had ended, Suga decided he should probably go to the supermarket. He needed to shop now or he wouldn't be able to make what he wanted for dinner.

"Hey, Tanaka. Do you want to go with me to the supermarket?" Suga called out to the man who had gone to the bathroom.

"Sure. Just give me a minute."

°°°

Nothing had happened after the two had gone to the supermarket. Now Sunday, Suga felt giddy and excited about what the day had in store. Since today was going to be nice, Suga dressed in a black and white striped t-shirt, a pair of brown pants, and a yellow jacket.

Not only was Suga going to an aquarium, but he was also going with Daichi. Maybe this could be his shot at telling Daichi how he feels. That's right. Suga was going to tell Daichi. He just needs to find the right time to do so.

Just then, Suga's phone vibrated and the man looked down to see he had received a text from Daichi. A smile made its way onto his lips as he said goodbye to Tanaka before leaving his apartment. Suga joined Daichi in his car before the two took off to Tokyo.

"Are you excited?" Daichi asked, his brown eyes glancing over at his best friend in the passenger seat beside him.

Suga nodded almost immediately. "Definitely."

°°°
Once they had reached Tokyo, Daichi and Suga drove for about five more minutes before they pulled into the parking lot of the aquarium.

As soon as Daichi found a parking spot and stopped the car, Suga was already getting out. This made the dark-haired man laugh. He hasn't seen Suga this excited since their first high school volleyball game.

"Come on, Daichi. We have to hurry before there's a big line," Suga whined as he waved his arm at his best friend.

Grabbing Daichi's hand, Suga practically dragged him to the entrance, ordering two all-day passes, and taking a free pamphlet. The pamphlet had a map of the entire aquarium, and it was huge.

Suga's jaw dropped to the floor when the two had entered the hallway leading to the traffic circle. On either side of him was an enormous fish tank filled with fish and other sea creatures and plants.

"Wow," Suga gasped as Daichi followed him into the traffic circle. There weren't too many people, but just enough to be considered busy.

"I assume you like it?" Daichi asked, staring at the boy in front of him, who was still gaping at everything. The traffic circle's ceiling was a dome and it had intricate paintings of different sea animals, along with bones from different fish hanging from it as well.

Suga nodded, answering Daichi's question. He turned to his best friend, his heart fluttering in his chest as he spoke. "This is incredible! Thank you so much, Daichi. I really-- oh, my God, look! A gift shop!"

Suga ran off in the direction of the gift shop, leaving Daichi in the traffic circle, smiling to himself before going after the man.

°°°

OMG, THAT WAS SO CUTE! Suga is literally so precious I can't with him sometimes. I was going to write more scenes between Suga and Tanaka, but I REALLY wanted to start writing for the aquarium scenes. I really hope you guys like my story so far, cuz I really am.

Anyway, that's all for now. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and I'll see you in the next one.

Buh-bye.
