Nobody to Love

Suga's Sick Day

   I haven't fully recovered but it's been a week so I'm well enough to go to work. I almost forgot about the assignment the boss gave me a month to do. I already wasted a week to try and get this done. I don't know how much I'll be able to do if my mind kind of feels like mush, half lovey dovey mush and half sickness mush. Ever since I met Suga, life hasn't been the same. Technically I met Kuroo first and it was from that point on, but I'm not going to give Kuroo the praise he wishes he could get from me. Life has changed for me in a good way, and I saw none of it coming. New bars, new restaurants, new friends, and a new love life.
  Enough with the sappy stuff, I got to tell Kuroo everything that happened on the date and also what happened on my sick day.
  "Hey, KurooKat is open again."
  "Yeah, it feels good to be back in business."
  "Table for one please."
  "Table for two with tea because I know you have some to spill."
  "We fucked."
  "Shit, finally."
  "I was joking! I didn't think you'd actually believe me if I just blurted that."
  "So you guys really didn't fuck? Man if that's the case I'm going back to work," he gets up and I want to say something to catch his attention.
  "We kissed."
  "...Real?," he turns to look at me for an answer and I nod. He immediately sits back down. "Tell me everything. Don't miss a single detail. And the story better be good or else I'll charge you extra for boring me."
  "Ok so we're walking around the city bored until we go to the grocery store and buy snacks and get coffee at a cafe. We're talking and it's chill until he sees one of those fountains that has water come up from the ground and we-"
"Fuck on top of the fountain!"
"What? No, we mess around in it. Then we get tired of running and we're soaking and we're about to kiss, but all the water stops and a super cold breeze blows. I give him my jacket and we go to my apartment. I give him-"
"a blowjob!"
"What the fuck no, I give him my clothes to change into. We sit on the couch and drink hot tea and when he was going to put his drink down he loses balance and falls onto my lap-"
"You mean dick?"
"Okay, I'm done, this is pointless."
"Noooo waaait tell me the rest please, I'm sorry, I'll be cooperative, I swear dude you gotta tell me the rest."
"Fine. Continuing, we nearly kiss again but he gets a call and says he had to go so we're walking to my door while he's thanking me for the night and he almost walks out but I stop him and get this. He's leaning up against the door and I unintentionally have him pinned back, I cup his face with my hands, kiss him, and tell him I enjoyed the night and that I plan to have more dates and he's down with it."
"Holy shit dude... that's smooth... damn I didn't think you had it in you to do something that romantic.."
"Truthfully me too, I just panicked because I wasn't going to let him leave without kissing him."
"Aww look at my friends being all lovey dovey with each other, going on cute silly dates. But is that it? Anything else happen?"
"Since we were soaking and it was cold, I got sick so he helped take care of me and we almost kissed again but I got denied because he didn't want to catch a cold."
"Hahahaha! I can imagine Suga just getting grossed out and saying no!"
"Sure, I got rejected from a kiss, but that doesn't mean what he said right after was innocent."
"What do you mean?"
"He said he won't kiss me because I'm sick but don't worry because we'll have plenty of time to do all that and many more later on."
"Okay I know I'm not suppose to make the joke, but you guys are going to fuck. Definitely."
"If that's what he means by "many more" then maybe, I don't know. That's what's I like about it though, that could mean anything and everything."
"Leaves you guessing, huh? Gosh he's such a tease. Oh that reminds me, what are you doing tonight?"
"The usual I assumed. Going to the bar to see everyone."
"You can still come by tonight but Suga isn't performing. He's not working today because he's sick."
"Shit, that could've been because of me."
"Well yeah, most likely. I think it's actually because of his nonstop working hours and extreme stress."
"Can he really not take a single day off? Who's even working him this hard, it's not the bodyguard is it?
"I'm guessing Asahi hasn't explained this to you either, huh? I don't know how much I'm allowed to say because this isn't my business but the guy who's in charge of everything Suga does is obviously his boss, but he only has contact with him via online. He's the one that signs up Suga for shows and all that Suga has to do is perform. Yeah, that's basically it."

I knew Bokuto and Asahi would bug me sooner or later about what's been happening with Suga and so I decided to go to Crows and reexplain everything I told Kuroo. Of course Bokuto was loud and freaked out while Asahi was surprised and calm, asking reasonable question. I wouldn't mind staying here longer, but my phone vibrates with a text from Suga. A simple "hey" he says, so I send one back. I wonder why he'd be texting me if he should be resting. Maybe he wants me to return the favor of him taking care of me on my sick day. I send another text after my first one, asking if he'd like me to help him get better from his fever. Minutes later, he responds with telling me to walk outside, then I see his car parked waiting for me. He rolls down the window and says "I knew you'd be here! Cmon get in."

We head back to my apartment and I open the door to let him in. "Thank you for letting me be here. I'm so sorry that I just invited myself here, we didn't even discuss it and it makes me look like an asshole and I apologize."
"Don't worry about it, it's fine with me. You're welcomed here anytime."
"Thank you."
"I'll go get us some blankets."
   "Movie night again?"
   "Sure, sounds good."

   Halfway into the movie, I could tell that he was getting kind of bored with it. He was leaning on my shoulder he whole time and would occasionally readjust his position. Maybe something was bothering him, I should ask.
   "How was your day?"
   "Hm? Oh, it was fine. Did some stuff for work and took the rest of the day off because I'm sick. How about you?"
   "Good, really it was like any other day."
   "That's good," he looks up and smiles at me.
   "Wait, you worked today? Even though you're sick?"
   "Awe Daichi, are you worrying about me?"
   "Well, yeah, of course. I don't want you to be overworked."
    "Sadly, that's not a possibility."
    "What do you mean?," I ask and he sits up to look at me.
    "It's my boss. His business is so dependent on me getting noticed so I can get more offers to work and get payed. So he believes any day I'm not working, is a day wasted. He was already mad with me skipping some work hours, so missing an entire day of work would make him go ballistic. To him, there's no such thing as a break. You work till you get payed and then work some more to get more money and it repeats without end."
    "Wow... I didn't know. If I knew what a tight schedule you had, I wouldn't have distracted you from work. Sorry," I say and put my hand on his shoulder.
    "No, no, no. It's not your fault. I decided on my own to miss some jobs and go on dates with you. I wanted to be around you, Daichi," he says, takes my hand to pull me closer, and kisses me softly, which makes me slightly blush. "Oops, I forgot I was sick. Sorry!"
    "I don't care. One kiss won't hurt."
"How about another?," he ask leaning in for another kiss, this one lasting a little longer than the one from before. His lips are so soft that whether it's a simple peck on the lips or passionate kissing, I can't help but feel like melting. He makes it so easy to fall for him, my god, is he tempting. But I don't want to do much just yet, there's still so much we need to know about each other. I'd rather take it slow than just rush into things. Like maybe having another date? Yeah, I think that could work.
"Hey, speaking of dates, we should go another one sometime this week," I suggest.
"I'd love that. Maybe I could figure out something for us to do since you planned our date last time."
"That's cool with me. Any day will be fine as long as it's after work."
"Alrighty. I'll be thinking of something for us to do," he teases me with taking his index finger and tracing it along my jawline. Shit, if he wasn't feeling under the weather I would make out with him right this second. I need self control, I just fucking explained to myself about taking things slow. "Sorry to leave early but I should go home and get rest so I can get rid of my sickness quicker. I'll text you though."
We walk up to the door, I open it for him, and turn to him to say, "Alrighty, have a good night."
"You too," he puts his hand under my chin and brings my face to his. He lightly kisses my lips. He looks at me and leans in for another, and we kiss again. "Hmm, it's like you want to get sick again."
"Nah, I just want to kiss you at any opportunity that I can."
"I'll be sure to include that for our next date. Good night, Daichi."
"Good night, Suga."
