One Night With You

9

Without any danger, they arrived at their destination safely. Though it wasn't safe to say that Yamaguchi is in good state. Ever since that event on the plane, Yamaguchi has been evasive of Terushima. Even after setting foot on the foreign land, there is still this awkward air surrounding them. "Uhmm... Yamaguchi?" Terushima broke the silence. They were riding a white car, heading to their allocated hotel.

Yamaguchi didn't bother speaking nor intended to listen, instead he put on his earphones and listened to some music. Terushima let out a sigh, he still doesn't have any idea on how to make Yamaguchi speak. Finally, they've arrived. The hotel was fancy enough to make Yamaguchi take off his earphones and explore. This made Terushima feel a little more relieved, thinking Yamaguchi might finally talk to him. 

After checking in, they went to their room to unpack their things. It was a long day, but neither of them were tired. The nap from the plane really helped them out. So instead of sleeping, they started exploring around. As expected, Yamaguchi seems to be a bit more down than he was at the airport. That said, Terushima gladly accompanied him wherever he went.  

Though for the meantime, the only looked around the hotel. It was truly extravagant, with the big chandelier hanging from the ceiling down to the white marble floor. Yamaguchi was enthralled, he has never seen anything so expensive before in his life. Terushima was just smiling behind him, admiring how Yamaguchi looks at everything with sparkling eyes.

They continued walking, looking around every nook and corner of the hotel. Finally, they went out to the beach. As they were walking through the palm trees, the cold sea breeze was blowing on their skin, making Yamaguchi shiver. "You okay?" Terushima worriedly asked, slowly taking off his jacket. "Y-yeah..." Yamaguchi replied, then continued walking with his mind somewhere else.     

Their small walk lasted for only 10 minutes, and proceeded back to their room. As if they were walking for hours, Yamaguchi immediately laid down on the bed. Terushima just chuckled, letting him do anything that he wants. Since Yamaguchi was down, he thought that letting him off would do some good. 

Although not in good shape, Yamaguchi still performed very well. It made their work progress very fast, reducing the work duration to 3 days. Now they still have 4 days left which they can treat as a vacation. Still, Yamaguchi seems to be down in the dumps. This time, Terushima started to be more curious. 'Just what is he thinking about?'   

He started observing Yamaguchi, looking at him with every chance he had. Everywhere Yamaguchi went, Terushima would always know. Well, Yamaguchi can't seem to walk around by himself so of course Terushima has to accompany him. And out of everywhere they went, he noticed that Yamaguchi seems to not like the beach. 

Once again, he was out walking with Yamaguchi. He was hoping to do something fun to cheer Yamaguchi up, when someone came running from the distance. "Yamaguchi-kun!" Someone short was running to them, waving his hand and carrying a fishing rod with the other hand. Yamaguchi's face quickly formed a smile, making Terushima widen his eyes. 

"Nishinoya-san! What are you doing here?" Yamaguchi greeted him, "I heard you were overseas, never knew I'd bump into you here." Yamaguchi chuckled, making Terushima more relieved. Terushima just watched them converse, Yamaguchi smiling all the while. He was just surprised when Yamaguchi pulled him all of a sudden, "Oh right, This is Terushima. My co-worker." Yamaguchi introduced him, making him proud.

Their conversation continued all the way to the hotel's restaurant. They were getting hungry as lunchtime was growing near. They were having a good time together, just talking about some stuff interesting one another. After the meal, they went their separate ways and started to return to their room. But this time, Yamaguchi was smiling.

"You're finally smiling." Terushima said, making Yamaguchi turn his head toward him. "What do you mean?" Yamaguchi was struck with confusion, it was as if he was not aware of his own actions. "Well, ever since we landed, you've been making a really sad face." Terushima stated, they were nearing their room when Yamaguchi suddenly stopped walking. 

"Um... Yamaguchi?" Terushima called him, but he didn't answer. Yamaguchi was just there standing, staring into the nothingness. "Yamaguchi?" Terushima called, but once again there was no answer. "Yamaguchi Tadashi!" Terushima yelled, bringing Yamaguchi back to his senses. "Oh, were you calling me? Sorry 'bout that." Yamaguchi let out an awkward chuckle, putting his hands behind him. He started walking, only to be stopped by Terushima.

"I really shouldn't be saying this, but you've been acting weird lately." Terushima confronted him, but this didn't let Yamaguchi lose his cool. Instead he just shoved Terushima's hand away form his shoulder, "Then please, don't" Yamaguchi proceeded to enter the room. Terushima on the other hand, is still clueless on how to tackle this situation. He just went in after him, not knowing what was coming next.
