Love Me Back (DaiSuga)

Part 7

"Never would've thought you'd be the reason I'm getting high, Daichi." Sugawara bitterly giggled to himself, inhaling the weed that was buried deep in his bag. 

After he got home, he needed some sort of relief. An outlet?
Then he remembered the marijuana he was going to throw away, but ended up forgetting to do so. He promised the dark haired captain he wouldn't go back but, it's all his fault so he figured it was fine. 
After all, promises were meant to be broken. 

Once again, his parents were out so he didn't have to worried about being caught. 
The house was fogged with so much smoke that it looked like the silver boy placed a fog machine inside his living room. 
He forgot how good it felt to get high, and just for everything to all just fade into the distance. 
Like it never happened in the first place. 

"Hahah, what an idiot I am." Sugawara mumbled his words, puffing out the smoke that he inhaled. "Michimiya's such a pretty girl. Of course he'd go for her, and not some guy like me." He forced out a chuckle. 

He could feel the tears start to sting the corner of his stoned red eyes but, he didn't want them to overflow. He didn't want to cry over something he knew would happen. 
It was just inevitable.
Daichi was going to marry a pretty girl, get a job, and have a family just like any other normal person would. 

"Heh, why couldn't I just be normal." Sugawara let a tear escape from his left eye. 
The tear felt like lava against his skin, as his sensories were over the roof because of the weed. 

This was one of the times he wasn't happy with who he was. Normally he accepts himself being gay but, not this time. 
This time he just prayed that he was a girl and that he was able to marry Daichi instead. 
He wished he was never born a boy who loved other boys. 

'Is there something wrong with me?' Sugawara eventually gave in and ended up sobbing into the palm of his hands. 

Meanwhile...

"Michimiya, I'm sorry." Daichi apologized to the girl he just pushed off of him. The short haired girl looked at him with such a sad look that he felt pity for her. 
"I can't...return your feelings." He admitted, dropping his head down. 

"You're in love with Sugawara...aren't you?" Michimiya sighed, making Daichi's head snap up. 

'Me? Like Sugawara?' Daichi thought to himself, totally spacing out. 
He recalled all of times he spent with Sugawara, thinking that they were just friends. Then he remembered the awful feeling of his chest tightening up at the possibility Koushi had a boyfriend. 
'Is that love?' He asked himself, looking up at the girl with a disappointed look on her face. 

Except, he didn't see Michimiya.

All he could see was that silver haired boy who he spent all of his time with. 
Koushi Sugawara. 

"I'm really sorry Michimiya...but I have to go." Daichi finally came into realization that he was in love with Sugawara. He dashed off into the cold night, running straight to Koushi's home. 
He left Michimiya standing there.
Of course she was sad but, she was happy that Sawamura could finally come to terms with his own happiness. 

"Go get him, Sawamura." She turned around, walking in the opposite direction as she disappeared like a shadow in the night. 

Daichi was sprinting over to Sugawara's home, running as quick as his legs could take him. He never would've thought that all the jealousy and anger could be caused by his dormant feelings for Koushi. 
He had so much thoughts going on in his head but the silver haired boy's face triumphed them all. He could only see his face clearly.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

"God, do people ever just disappear off the face of the earth?" Koushi grumbled, hearing the constant knocking on his front door. He didn't know who it could be since his parents were out, and mostly since his mind was like mush right now. 

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

"I'm coming!" Sugawara frustratingly shouted, dragging his feet to the front door. 
"Now, who the hell is i- Pause. You look a lot like someone I know." He chuckled, seeing Daichi out of breath at his front door. 
He thought it was just his imagination due to the weed. 

'This smell...' Daichi's eyes went wide as angered filled him up to his head. He could smell that familiar smell of weed that he remembered all so well from the second year of high school. 
"Suga...are you smoking again?" He gritted his teeth, seeing the visible signs of someone being high.
Koushi's eyes were red, and he was wobbly while he was just standing there in a daze. 

"Chips...and chocolate." Sugawara mumbled, turning around to go back into his house to get some pringles and nutella. 
He blatantly ignored the dark haired captain as he rummaged through the cabinets. 

"Suga!" Daichi shouted, slamming into Sugawara's house. He was upset that the silver haired boy broke his promise that he forgot all about confessing his feelings. 
He watched as Koushi laid his chips and chocolate out, holding a blunt between both of his lips. 
Sugawara was so out of it that he forgot Sawamura was still in the house. 
"What are you-"

"You know, you look awfully like this boy I play volleyball with." Sugawara happily chuckled, crunching down on his pringle that was smothered with nutella. 
"Actually, I saw him kissing this girl today. Heh, I guess he really did listen to my advice when I told him to accept." He weakly smiled, still feeling that bitterness in his heart. 

'When did he see that?' Daichi panicked to himself, not realizing that the silver haired boy was inching closer and closer with a strange look in his eyes. 
"Sug- Suga?!" He looked and realized how close Koushi was. 

He was so angry about the broken promise, that he couldn't even ask Sugawara if he was okay. But Koushi didn't care. 
He had something else in mind. 

"But, I guess you'll do, Daichi #2." Sugawara grinned with a dim look on his eyes. 

"Wha-" Daichi was awfully confused until he figured out what Koushi meant. 

Because with that distance between them slowly growing less and less, Sugawara had leaned in and planted a kiss onto Daichi's lips. 
As he didn't know that it was his real love standing in front of him.
