Starting off the book with a lil bit of angsty fluff úwù

Tsukki and Yamaguchi have been dating for a few months now.
But recently, Yamaguchi started feeling like he wasn't good enough for Tsukki. He feels like he's a burden to him, just another problem.
So in order for him to feel somewhat better, he's been putting small but plenty strawberry gashes along his arms. (poor babey :<)

He's been doing it for a few weeks now, his arms were always covered in bandages. Whenever someone asks why his arms were bandaged, his excuse was always "I fell and scraped my arms, nothing much".
Soon after, Tsukki starts to notice Yamaguchi being more tired and fatigued than usual. Missing his happy, sunshine boyfriend, he went to ask him what was wrong.

<time skip owo>

Tsukki and Yamaguchi are walking home from school.
"Yamaguchi?"
"Yes, Tsukki?"
"...what's wrong? You seemed off for a couple of days now," Tsukki stopped in his tracks and turned to face the other, "if anything's bothering you, tell me."

"Why do you ask, Tsukki?" Yamaguchi questioned back, looking at his boyfriend while giving a faint smile.
"You look more fatigued than before, I'm worried that you aren't getting enough sleep." Tsukki replied.
Yamaguchi's smile faded as he averted his gaze downward. Looking back up, the corner of his lips tug up to force a small smile. Genuine enough to seem real, but not enough for Kei to be convinced.
"It's okay, I'm fine, Tsukki." Yamaguchi reassures the taller male.

Tsukki stared at him with worry.
He grabbed Yamaguchi's hand and started to walk again.
"H-huh?! Tsukki, w-where are we g-going?!" Yamaguchi asked, eyes widened in fear. "You're staying over at my place tonight." Tsukki replied almost as if it was a command, still holding Yamaguchi's hand firmly, leading them to his house.

Once they have entered Kei's house, they took off their shoes and dropped their book bags on the floor.
Tsukki grabbed Yamaguchi's hands and led him to the couch.
They both sat down. Still holding each other's hands as Yamaguchi looked down the entire time.

"Yamaguchi, are you really okay?" Tsukki asked, a concerned look in his eyes.
His fingers brushing over Yamaguchi's cold hands. Yamaguchi stayed silent, his hair covering his face.
"Yamaguchi, hey."
"..."
Tsukki lifts Yamaguchi's chin with his fingers only to be met by puffy, teary eyes.
"oh..." Tsukki mumbles.
He pulled yamaguchi closer, hugging him tightly.

Yamaguchi sobbed and hiccuped, burying his face in Tsukki's neck. He hugged him back as tight.
After a few minutes, Tsukki felt Yamaguchi's breathing slow down to a steady rhythm. He pulled away while still holding Yamaguchi in his arms.
"I'm sorry, Tsukki." yamaguchi mumbled quietly.
"You dont have to apologize, but can you at least tell me why you aren't okay?" Tsukki replied softly.
"Please look at me."

Yamaguchi met eyes with him.
Tsukki sighed while brushing away a loose hair strand from Yamaguchi's face.
Tsukki's eyes trailed down to Yamaguchi's arms, noticing bandages due to the sleeves being pushed up a bit. Yamaguchi followed his gaze. He quickly pulled his arms away and tugged on the sleeves.

"A-ah, i-it's nothing. i f-fell down a few days ago and s-scraped my arms accidentally-"
"May i see your arms?" Tsukki asked.
Yamaguchi shook his head from side to side, stubbornly.
"Yamaguchi. Show me your arms now." The tone of Tsukki's voice sounded more stern and demanding.

Yamaguchi stayed still, eyes shut.
Tsukki slowly grabbed one of his arms and lifted his sleeve, exposing the bandages. He took the other arm and did the same.
He looked up at Yamaguchi, who's eyes were slightly open with tears pooling at bay.
"These aren't normal bruises you get from falling,"
Tsukki started, but after looking at them a little longer, he realized something.
"...why?" Tsukki asked quietly, trying to find an answer in Yamaguchi's eyes

"...It's because I feel pathetic." Yamaguchi weakly answered.
"I feel like I'm not good enough for you. I'm just a burden you have to endure, I'm just another proble-"
"Yamaguchi, you aren't pathetic." He was cut off by Tsukki.
Yamaguchi's eyes shot up to look at him.

"You aren't a burden I have to endure,"
Tsukki brought his hand to cup Yamaguchi's face, wiping away a tear.

"and you definitely are good enough for me." He said with a smile.

Tsukki slowly leaned in to the point where their lips were touching. Yamaguchi, without any hesitation, kisses back, tilting his head to the side a bit for a comfortable angle. Their lips moved in sync, the pair basicall melting into each other's affectionate and loving action. This lasted a few moments and pulled apart for air.

"...promise me you won't ever do this again." Tsukki pleaded, gently rubbing Yamaguchi's arms.
Yamaguchi nodded.
"Yamaguchi, promise me. Please."
Yamaguchi sighs. "I promise, Tsukki." He says as a small smile forms on his face.
Tsukki takes Yamaguchi's arm and he kisses the wrapped up area lovingly.
He repeated the same gesture for the other arm.
Yamaguchi, taken aback, just stared as his boyfriend kissed his scarred arms.
"I hope my kisses heal your scars faster." Tsukki says as he looks up at Yamaguchi with a smile. Yamaguchi's face turned red at the gesture and chuckled.
"I love you, tsukki~"
Tsukki's smile grew wider as he said
"I love you too, yamaguchi~"

Ever since then, Tsukki made sure he kissed Yamaguchi's arms every night until they healed.
