2 years later...

Tsukishima strolls down the pavement, the sun beaming down at him. He looks up at the bright blue sky; so clear that it looks painted on. As he walks, he takes in the crisp morning breeze with a relaxed sigh. Fumbling for his keys, Tsukishima approaches the dark wood door to his house and pushes it open.

When he steps inside, he is greeted by the aroma of lavender and vanilla, coming from a small humidifier in the kitchen. He sets down the shopping bags he's holding and locks the door behind him, then calls, "I'm home."

He hears movement, followed by the sight of a shadow, coming down the stairs. Out comes a sleepy Yamaguchi; dressed in a dark green hoodie and looking absolutely gorgeous for someone who just woke up. He yawns and makes his way towards the blonde. Tsukishima smiles at the sight of his boyfriend and opens his arms to him. It's been a whole year since he moved in with Yamaguchi, but he still never gets tired of holding him tight and feeling the beat of his heart. "G'morning.." Yamaguchi mumbles. Tsukishima grins, running a hand through Yamaguchi's soft locks of hair.

"Good morning, Tadashi."

He feels Yamaguchi cuddle closer to him and then say, "Where did you go?"

He freezes.

3 months prior...

Once Yamaguchi has fallen asleep, Tsukishima sneaks out of their bedroom and quietly heads over to the living room. Admiring the framed photos of him and Yamaguchi on the wall, he grabs his cellphone and dials his brother's number.

The phone rings only twice before Akiteru's groggy voice echoes out of the phone, "Kei? It's pretty late. Is everything ok?"

"Teru."
