And they were roommates. Again.
A lot of stuff had happened. There had been a school trip to the japanese countryside where almost every students was getting laid while Yamaguchi and Tsukishima were just sitting on the roof of the hotel, watching the stars and talking, talking until their throats were sore. They even hugged, for a second, before it became too awkward for either of them to bare.
They were being disgustingly romantic, but Tadashi still didn't believe the blonde had any feelings for them at all. They just didn't want to have hope only to be disappointed in the end.
During that evening also, Yamaguchi had came out as non binary to Tsukishima. Well, they didn't say these exact terms, because they didn't actually like labelling themselves but anyway, Tsukishima was confused at first but when it was explained to him, he was understanding and truly made an effort to use the right pronouns and do everything right. Of course, after a while, he didn't even think about making the mistake anymore. Yamaguchi was happy their roommate took it all so well, the way he tried to support them was almost comforting.
He was still an asshole though, just an LGBT friendly one.

——————-

It was a normal day. Tadashi was coming home from school a little early because their teacher was sick, and they were feeling good. With all the support they had gotten from both Moe and Tsukki, they were actually being bold enough to present a little more feminine now and it felt so... right. Today, they wore makeup outside for the first time. It wasn't a lot, just some eyeliner, but it felt like a huge step.
Nothing could possibly ruin this day.
Or so they thought. It all changed when they heard the click of a camera right behind them. They turned around, only to be faced with a strangely familiar face.
Before they even got the time to greet the man, another picture was taken, before the blonde decided to speak.

- « Tadashi Yamaguchi, 17. Coming back from school early because of an absent teacher. »

Hold up, that wasn't Tsukishima's voice..?

- « Nope, I'm not Kei if that what you're wondering. Tsukishima Akiteru, pleasure to meet you. »

There were actually a few differences between Tsukishima and his brother : his hair was slightly darker, he looked older, obviously, and he had tiny teenage facial hair at the bottom of his chin, that was barely noticeable. He also didn't have glasses. But besides that, they were identical

- « How do you know my name? » Yamaguchi asked coldly, they were hesitant.

- « That's cause I'm a pro!»

He stuck his tongue out, Yamaguchi didn't seem too amused. They weren't feeling good about this guy, maybe it was stupid, but they were careful.

- « I work very hard to get the most juicy pictures you know! And my very last news, is this one! »

He showed Yamaguchi a picture. They froze. It wasn't a huge deal but it was still... something. The picture showed them and their roommate at their front door laughing with their eyes closed, standing, well, a little bit too close for comfort.
Yamaguchi remembered, this was taken this morning. Were they really standing this close to each other? It just felt so normal, so right back then.

Not wanting this picture to get out, for obvious reasons, Yamaguchi thought thay being a little more on the friendly side couldn't hurt and decided it was okay to invite the man to their apartment. He had insisted quite a lot and after all, he was Tsuki's brother. What's the worst thing that could happen?

- « Hum... you don't happent to wear any lingerie do you? I doubt these are enough to satisfy my brother... »

- « What the hell are you talking about? LEAVE MY BOXERS ALONE!!! »
