late birthday present

I don't ship this one THAT much, but there ya go

Daichi x Sugawara

31st December, Friday 2021

10:27 am

Daichi awoke to his phone ringing, and vibrating under his pillow, he was in bed, sleeping with his beloved; he cursed under his breath to whoever woke him up at such a time, who gets up as early as this on their day off anyway? After all, you don't get much free time in the police department: he wanted to stay in bed till noon. He looked at the contact realizing it was one of his colleagues from work: he accepted the call.

Hello?

Uh, hey Daichi

Yeah, what's up? Why are you calling at such an hour?

okay, look, I know you're supposed to have this day off but I REALLY need to go to the hospital right now, could you please take over just this once?

Why do you even need to go to the hospital?

My wife went into labour

Oh-
Um, yeah I'll be there in less than 30 minutes!

Daich hung up and sighed, "Better get going...", he whispered not wanting the latter to wake up. He moved, trying to get up from the bed when suddenly, Sugawara grabbed his arm sleepily; "where *yawns* are you even going? The presents will be given out at night...", welp... He exposed his 'super, secret, surprise, which had been planning on doing for 2 weeks; with the help of Oikawa Tōru.

"I know, I know but I have to go to work-"
"I thought you were free today?"
"Yeah, but someone asked me to cover for them"
"Just disagreeeee~", Sugawara whined
"Baby, cmon I'll probably be back in a bit"
Sugawara huffed and pouted, "Fine!", he covered himself with their white, fluffy blanket and went to sleep.

Daichi just chuckled and got up to get ready.

Time skip~

11:00 am

Daichi left a while ago, around an hour ago. Suga decided to get up and decorate the place with cute pictures and stickers; as they hadn't taken down their Christmas tree yet, he had to improvise around it. Maybe he could also prepare a meal?

12:30

He finished up with the cute drawings and had the time to take all the Christmas decorations off, "Getting some good work done today", he huffed proudly placing his hands on his hips and admiring his work.

"Now, time for my little break"
He sat on the couch for a while before starting to re-arrange the furniture; like he always does.

13:00

"Bake or buy?", he was deciding if he should get a cake or make one
"A homemade one is romantic, right?"
...
"Ingredients, ingredients-"
as he was gathering them, he dropped the flower bag on his head
he stood there trying to understand what had happened
grabbing the bag off his head, made the white powder fly everywhere
while he just stood there spitting out what flower sneaked into his mouth

"I think I'll stick with buying..."

14:27

He was dancing around the living room, humming to the song playing in the background, the cold breeze hitting his face from the open window; he had a perfect view of seeing the fireworks being set up for tonight.
He could see familiar faces helping out too, and Hinata and Kageyama bickering in the corner with a bunny, he just laughed it off to himself.

15:45

Time was flying by, the year was already over, his eyes glistened at the pictures in his hands, they were pictures from all their dates, parties and just sentimental times they had this year, time sure does fly faster once you're happy?

He put the pictures away in his personal box, which was custom made and gifted from Daichi, putting it back on the shelf he looked at the time and frowned. It had already been about 8 hours since Daichi left, and it was now 3:45 pm, and Sugawara had a VIP private date and small reunion party gathered together for Daichi and for the last day of the year.

Perhaps he should just skip the date at red lobster, and just go to the reunion, after all, you don't always get to see your busy friends, now do you?

17:45

He sat in the darkness of their living room, knees held close to his chest, he was really quite upset- he wanted to spend his entire day with the love of his life... But I guess you can't have everything you want.

20:37

He stared at the time, looking unconvinced at the fact that the day ran away like that. He was supposed to give a 'gift' to Daichi later.

He looked at the table he had set in the kitchen, the red candle almost burned out, the dim light hanging on to its last moments, the yellow-orange lamp light set right in the middle of the table which was covered by a white cloth.

Two plates of dinner, he made, which were now cold and the sweet cake he had bought with Daichi's name drizzled on with chocolate.

Did he really spend this much time on something that had just gone to waste?
Salty tears started to prick at the corners of his eyes.

BZZZZ BZZZZ

He thought it was his loved one, but much to his sadness, it was not; instead his best friend Oikawa was calling him, he didn't want to pick up at all, and just wanted to scream his lungs out to a certain someone who hadn't called him the entire day, nor did he say 'I love you' this morning.

he hung up the call, but much to Oikawa's stubbornness he decided to bombard the latter with text messages instead.

private chat between 'Oika' and 'Sugar'

You can come to talk to me

----------------------------------------------------------

Sugawara let the tears fall, the open window flowing harsher and colder air towards his face, 'another year spent alone', he laughed melancholically, he looked out the balcony, the stars poking at the not-so-dark sky. The gradient of the dark blue of the night sky and pink of the sun setting. His eyes fell on a certain small red velvet box in his hands, before chucking it onto the hard wooden floor.
