It had only been a month or so since the two had started dating. Tadashi had finally voiced his emotions to the other, and to his surprise but no one else's, they were accepted and reciprocated. He was giddy at first, unable to comprehend the fact that Tsukishima liked him just as much. Now they were finally staying the night together for the first time as a couple. There was something different about Tsukishima's room now, looking around made him feel comfortable and cozy, more so than before. It felt like he belonged there, like it was partly his own. There was something so wondrous in finally admitting his feelings to his childhood friend, and finally feeling like he was where he was supposed to be. Side by side with his boyfriend. On top of that, it was the first time he was sleeping in a bed with Tsukishima, rather than being next to him on a separate futon. It smelt so nice, like the hoodies he would steal to wear, like the one he was in right now, but it was strong and soothing, he wanted to cover himself in it forever.

He stared at the roof, specifically the line of light that made its way past the barrier of curtains. The slow, soft breaths he could hear beside him indicated the other was asleep, so he slowly turned his head, looking at Tsukishima. His face looked so soft in the dim moonlight, and he wanted to caress it, to hold it, but he just watched. Tsukishima's features were different when he wasn't controlling them to be a snicker and frown, he was relaxed. Tadashi slowly rolled onto his side, allowing him to burn the image into his eyes. He took it all in.

His skin looked smooth, no damage had been done to it. The peach fuzz on his cheek reflected the light of the moon, though it didn't look as fluffy as his hair. Blonde and puffy, like a pom-pom. Tadashi smiled, he really loved everything about Tsukishima. He was beautiful in his own way, and Tadashi wanted to take in all of it, experience it all. He finally closed his eyes, letting himself fall asleep as well.

By the time the sun was rising, Tadashi had already started to awaken. It's the time he would usually wake up for work, but knowing he had the day off to spend with his boyfriend made him feel energetic. He raised his hand to his mouth to yawn into the back of it, wiping sleep from his eyes while his hand remained around his face. He peered over at Tsukishima, who was still asleep. The golden rays of sunlight moved past the curtains and hit his face just right. It was like watching over an amazing grace, sent to make his life better. He was angelic is the sun, his face shining, eyelashes glistening. Tadashi's heart skipped a beat, maybe two. This is what he wanted to wake up to every morning. He watched Tsukishima's face turn into a slight frown before his eyes opened. Moments later they looked straight at him. They shone golden in the light and Tadashi felt his breath hitch in his throat.

He had never felt so truly in love with something than like he did now, with the person who he lay next to.

If I know what love is, it's because of you. I have never loved anyone like this before, so silent but so loud, so mystical but so real. Our worlds meet like it was meant to be, and here we are, together, staring at each other, like it's only us. And we only need us to be in love, because that's what it's about. Honesty, care, kindness and above all else, the effort in building our own throne. One we sit on together, hand in hand, watching as our worlds collide into one, to love and be loved by you. Love is a promise I can see you hold dear within your own eyes, something I hold in the palms of my hands. We nurture it together as it grows, and I will never be prepared for how big it will blossom, but having you by my side through it all will make it okay. I trust you that we'll always be okay. You have a place in my heart that no one else could ever have. It is forever, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

Tadashi smiled, reaching out to take Tsukishima's hand in his own.

"Good morning Tsukki."

He watched Tsukishima blink, he was a blur to him at the moment.

"Good morning."

He felt Tsukishima's hand squeeze his own. It was so gentle, then he squeezed twice more.

"What was that for, Tsukki?"

"Tadashi, I love you. I know we haven't been together for long, but I have, for years now," His eyes drifted to focus on Tadashi's eyes, "And I want this to be ours. No matter what I say, if I squeeze or tap you three times, just know that I love you. First for my feelings, second for my passion and third for the commitment to you."

Tadashi squeezed his hands three times back.

"I love you too Kei, forever and always."

Tsukishima pulled their hands up, lacing their fingers and kissed Tadashi's knuckles. They lay there, side by side, silent but together, professing their love for one another is the golden light of the sun. It was pure, heartfelt. It was true to them. Tadashi pursed his lips, he felt like he could cry. To be fair, Tsukishima wouldn't even be able to see it. But this, this was all he wanted. His life was one big love letter to his best friend of years.

I choose you. And I'll choose you again. I never won't choose you above all else. Over and over and over. Without a doubt, in every heartbeat that passes, I'll keep choosing you. I love you Tsukishima Kei, and I never won't.
