(iv) husband

"my love", tetsurou looked at his wife with a hint of concern, "you okay?"

"listen", chi took a deep breath, "is it okay if i go see rin?"

"did something specific happen?", he asked, leaning in

"no but... tetsu i'm kinda worried about him.", he held her face, brushing his thumb over her cheek.

"should i drive you?", he asked but she shook her head.

"it's not far from here. i'll be back in sometime i just wanna check on him."

kuroo left a peck on her lips before she kissed his cheek and then she was gone.

-•-•-•-

"hey didn't you-"

"rin!!", chi was pulling him into a hug as soon as she saw him, feeling him slowly hug back.

"what's up", he pulled away and asked, going back to what he was doing. packing up.

he was shirtless. she'd barely realised that when she hugged him. his abs were still surprisingly toned. there was a joint in his hand that he was taking hits out of.

"where are you going?", she asked, noticing his vaguely bloodshot eyes.

"moving out. we're selling.", he stated plainly, blowing smoke from his mouth, "rei's living at her mom's for the time being. hina's with her."

"and you?", she asked, cause suna's parents didn't live in tokyo. "where are you going?"

"i bought my own place", he shrugged, "i'm moving in next week. it's close to your apartment, i think."

"really? where?"

"i think the exact address is on the kitchen counter"

she walked towards the counter, reading the address with her eyes widening.

"rin this is literally my building"

"fuck, is it?", he sighed heavily, "i'm sorry i didn't realise-"

"why are you apologising? i'm actually happy you're moving there!", she exclaimed, laying a hand on his shoulder.

he held her hand, slumping his shoulders. "i thought samu had everyone over for dinner tonight"

"yeah kou and tetsu are there", she explained

"so why are you here?", he questioned as she joined him on the couch.

"i was bored"

"bullshit"

"okay", she sighed, "what was the last meal you had?"

he stayed silent, expression hardening. he didn't need anyone to take care of him. he didn't.

"are you hungry?", she asked again, "i brought you food from samu's"

"thanks", he gulped and nodded, "you can go back now"

"so how was the game today?", she changed the topic, taking no notice of his plea.

"decent", he shrugged, "i met kou and the pretty girl"

"ugh, i haven't met her yet", she groaned, "i don't understand how kou even pulled her"

"he takes after his parents"

"that's true"

"chi"

"hmm?"

"i feel...", she could see him struggling to express what he was saying, "i thought it would work out. with her."
