In the arms of love

the unwritten rule

"Hey, Tsukki!"

"Shut up, Keomi."

I chuckled as I watched the annoyance on Tsukishima's face. He, Yamaguchi, and Kao were waiting for me in front of my house.

"Morning Keo-san" was what came out of Yamaguchi's mouth that made me express disgust on my face, while Kao was laughing as if her life depends on it.

"Yams, c'mon!" I groan "We talked about this. Drop the damn honorifics already. We've known each other for a decade now!"

"Sorry Keo-sa" I glare at him "I-I mean Keomi-chan." I swear this boy wants me dead.

"You can do better Tadashi" I try my best to hint to him what is it that I want to hear.

"But- O-okay Ai.'' I can't hold my smile as I run towards my freckles friend before I hung on his neck.

"We have two options. First - you stop showing us how much in love you are with Yamaguchi and we all go to practice, and second - I and my sister go without you and you two do your thing in the house and we meet for the start of the classes. " Tsukishima is smirking at me.

"Kao-chan, I honestly feel bad for you" I start saying as I let go of the green-haired boy "You have to deal with Saltyshima your whole life. You even look like him, a better version of course. But really, if I had him as a twin, I would have killed myself at least three times already."

Kao smiles at me and says "He is better at home. Akiteru is dealing just great with his all-knowing ass." The two of us laugh as Tadashi tries to hide his smile from his best friend.

"I hate you." 'Despair' is what was written on Tsukki's face.

"Why? We are lovely." I placed my hand on my heart as if it was hurting.

"You wish you were-" He started saying when I cut him off.

"Anyways" I grabbed Kao and Yamaguchi's hands, walking down the street to our school "Let's go before Daichi kills us for being late."

"And whose fault would that be?" There was Tsukki again trying to pick a fight with me.

"Onii-chan, just shut up already." Kao said.

The rest of the way was in silence but no one was bothered by it. We knew damn well when we should just stop talking and let each other at our thoughts. That's one of the things that was like an unwritten rule for our ten years old friendship.
