It had been a week since the party. Not much happened after twister. Because Atsumu had fallen asleep, Kiyoomi dropped him off at home and the night ended there.
Atsumu's phone rings, but he doesn't recognize the number. He is undecided whether to answer it, but eventually answers.
"Hello?"
"Atsumu? Is that you?"
"Who's this?"
"Udai Tenma. From the party. Remember me?"
"Oh yes I remember. But how did you get my number?"
"Ah. I asked Saeko. I'm sorry if I disturb."
"Hm. No don't worry. I'm just surprised."
"I was wondering, are you free tomorrow? Can I take you out?"
"Wow. That was sudden."
"I hope it's positive." He giggled.
"Hahah. Well, I'm free yes."
"Good. Do you know *** cafe?"
"I know."
"5 pm. Is that okay? I can come and get you actually-"
"No no. I can come by myself. Thanks though."
"Okay then. See you tomorrow."
"Yeah."
As soon as Atsumu hangs up, he is bombarded with questions by Oikawa.
"Who was the caller?"
"Udai Tenma."
"Whoa. Where did he get your number from?"
"Saeko."
"What did he say? Will you meet up?"
"Yeah."
"Are you sure? Have you thought about it?"
"Oh my god enough, let me breathe."
"Sorry."
"We're just going to have coffee. It's not a big deal. Maybe he's the one for me, who knows. Isn't it nice to have someone familiar? I'm sure he'll be harmless."
"Physically yes. But emotional? How would you know?"
"I won't know until I try."
"I think don't rush. Take a good look around you. Maybe the perfect person for you is a lot closer."
"You seem to know something."
"Not at all." He gets up from the couch and heads to the kitchen.
"Tooru."
"Are you hungry? I'm hungry. Let me ask Iwa when they'll come. I don't understand what they're doing."
"Tooru. You're skipping it."
"I am not doing anything."
"Bitch."
"Instant noodles?"
Oikawa starts boiling water. Atsumu sighs and sits down.

Iwaizumi wanted to buy Oikawa a gift for Valentine's Day, so he went out with Kiyoomi.
"You should have called Atsumu, not me."
"You're right. You didn't do a damn thing, Kiyoomi."
"What could I do?"
"Okay, I like this sweater. Blue or pink?"
"Isn't it a little simple? You two are dating for years. Think creative. This is like a first year anniversary present."
"You think so? Then let's think of something else."
"We're back to the beginning again, Iwa."
"Fuck."
*
The next day, Iwaizumi and Oikawa go out to dinner. Oikawa is very excited and gives his gift right away. He combined all the photos they took together and all the beautiful messages they sent to each other and turned it into an album full of memories. Iwaizumi is surprised and tears of happiness flow from his eyes. He can't lift his head from embarrassment. He never wants to cry in front of Oikawa.
"Iwa. You're so cute, you know that? I love you so much." He gets up and hugs him from behind. Iwaizumi puts the album on the table. He takes Oikawa's hands and kisses them.
"I can't believe you made me cry."
"I'll tell everyone about it."
"I'll beat you."
"You love Me."
"Maybe."
"What do you mean maybe? I'll beat you up."
"Idiot." He gets up and kisses him passionately.
"My present is not as perfect as yours."
"Everything from you is perfect."
Iwaizumi takes the gift out of his pocket.
"I know it's still early for marriage. That's why I'm not proposing. But it doesn't stop me from getting the promise ring. Stay with me forever, Tooru. Because I have no life without you."
Now it's Oikawa's turn to cry. He covers his face with his hands and sobs. "I can't believe you."
"What happened my love?"
"And you say my present isn't perfect. Silly." He approaches slowly and wraps his arms around his neck. He buries his head on his shoulder and continues to cry.
"Shh. Come on. I want you to laugh today. The only place you'll cry is the bed tonight." He whispers, patting his back.
"Iwa chan you're a pervert."

Atsumu and Tenma are sitting in the cafe drinking coffee. Ever since Kiyoomi learned about the situation from Oikawa, he's been heartbroken. While thinking about what to do, he decides to follow.
He is sitting at a far table, with the menu in hand, trying to watch and hear them.
"I'd love to cook for you someday, if you love it that much, you should eat from my hand."
"Really? I'd be very happy."
"Rollo o wold bo vory hoppy." Kiyoomi silently imitates Atsumu. He gets very nervous. He didn't think things would come to this.
"Have you decided, sir?" The waiter comes and asks Kiyoomi.
"Bitter coffee. Very very bitter."
"Okay. Can I have the menu?"
"Can you not get it?"
"Sir, our menus are limited and there are people waiting."
"What a ridiculous cafe this is." His voice rose involuntarily, at least enough for Atsumu to hear.
"Omi?"
Kiyoomi hides behind the waiter and the menu.
"Omi. I can see you. Why are you hiding? And what are you doing here?"
"I'm not hiding. I was going to meet someone. But the service sucks. I'm getting out of here."
"Omi wait!"
