Around a month and a half into official dating, the two of you had kept things pertaining to your relationship private. The only people who knew about it were his teammates, Daniel, Momo, and Hiro. You kept the circle of people knowing small because it was the most comfortable option.
The media hadn't even spoken about the two of you in the last month surprisingly. But it might have been because you didn't give them anything to talk about. You still rarely used social media and your account was still private. So if you did post anything—nobody would know.
In other news, Momo was visiting this month because it was 'Thanksgiving Break' in the States so she wanted to visit home. You planned to hang out with her and Daniel since you were sure they'd both get along. But also she was finally going to meet Kiyoomi at the airport.
"What does she look like?" Your boyfriend asked standing beside you closely with his hands in his pockets. The airport wasn't an ideal place to be for him because of how busy it was. So he decided to stay close to you and of course, he had a mask on.
"She has dark red hair now I think—it's kind of wavy like yours too," you say giving a vague description as people exit the terminal. "Is that her?" the man asks nodding his head in the direction of a woman who fits the description.
Your eyes followed his line of sight and landed on the woman. A gasp left your mouth loud enough to catch her attention as you dashed to her and away from your boyfriend. "Momo!" you shout with open arms.
When the redhead's eyes met yours she gasped and opened her arms just as quick to give you a tight hug. "Oh my God I feel like it's been ages!" she squeals as the both of you rock side to side in the hug.
As you both pull away she notices Kiyoomi approaching the both of you from behind you. "Oh you didn't tell me you were bringing the boyfriend," she whispers while putting emphasis on the last word. At the mention of him, you glance over your shoulder to see him slowly getting closer before you turn back to Momo.
"I said 'we' in my texts, I thought it was obvious," you laughed playfully as your boyfriend joined your side. You glance up at him and gasp as you remember the two have never met. "Kiyoomi's, this is Momo—Momo, Kiyoomi" you introduce the two briefly.
The redhead had heard enough about the man to know who he was and she smiled and waved at him instead of an expected handshake. "Nice to meet you Sakusa—I've heard a lot about you,"
Sakusa returns the wave a little confused because he had half expected her to try and shake his hand. "Nice to meet you too—I have also heard a lot about you," He responds curtly. You glance between the two and laugh at their introductions.
"Okay we have so much in-person catching up to do," you announce to Momo and the three of you start walking to leave the airport. Momo slightly struggles to roll her suitcase as a wobbly wheel gets stuck in a crack on the floor.
Kiyoomi luckily notices this and stops in his tracks. "I can carry the suitcase to the car," he offers. Momo looks surprised and shakes her head. "oh no it's totally fine dude, it's just a little wonky--" She tries to assure the man that it's fine but sure enough he cautiously takes the suitcase and walks ahead of the both of you silently.
You're also a little shocked and exchange a glance with your closest friend. "What's his deal? I thought you said he doesn't like--like germs or something?" Momo questions as the two of you stray behind your boyfriend.
"Yeah--I think he's just trying to make a good first impression. He acted out of character when he met Hiro too," As the words leave you routh the redhead glances over to you with her brows closely knitted together. "Who's Hiro?"
You laugh a bit at her clueless stare, "I told you there's a lot of catching up to do,"

Back at your apartment Kiyoomi is in the kitchen fixing something for the three of you as you sit in the living room filling Momo in on things you'd skipped on telling her.
"So you worked for Ayaka Hayashi? This was her apartment and now you just casually hang out with Hiroaki Nakamoto?" Momo emphasizes clarification. You nod casually confirming your connection to the two A-listers and watch as her jaw drops. "And you're just now telling me!?" She shouts finally letting the shock sink in.
"Well yes," you nod letting your eyes drift to the kitchen where Kiyoomi is looking at the scene in the living room with wide eyes. "I can't believe this," your friend says shaking her head. "Other than that not much else happened that I haven't told you about," you assure the woman who is still shaking her head at you.
"The food is ready," Kiyoomi hesitantly interrupts from the kitchen. At the word 'food' Momo has leaped off of the couch and darted toward the kitchen. "Oh Sakusa this smells good....I can already tell you ate," Momo tells him and he furrows his brows.
"Thanks but I haven't eaten yet?" He replies slightly confused. Momo shares the confused expression with a tilt of her head. "Oh! No, I mean like--you did a good job," she tries to explain. "Sorry, I teach at a High School in the States and that's like the stuff they say--doesn't really translate well,"
Honestly watching the two interact was so entertaining for you as you prepared your plate. "We're eating in the living room because I don't have enough chairs for the kitchen," you say and you see Kiyoomi grimace at the thought.
Even though in the past month he had eaten at your place twice so he was already aware you preferred eating in the living room anyway.
The three of you gather around the small table in the living room and sit on a cushion on the floor before Momo goes to turn the TV on. "Oh wait let's take a picture I told my students I'd bring pictures back to show them," she exclaims while grabbing out her phone.
You sat in the middle of her and Kiyoomi so as she leaned into you to take the selfie of the both of you half of his face made it into the picture. When she showed you the photo you started giggling at his dazed expression in it and asked her to send you the photo.
When she finally took a bite into her food her eyes widened. "Sakusa this is incredible --you could be a cook if you weren't an athlete," she compliments and Kiyoomi shakes his head. "Ah thank you but I just use recipes from the internet," he says and Momo laughs.
"Do you happen to have a brother though?" She tries to casually ask and you roll your eyes playfully at her question. "Yes, he's in his 40s," he nods.
