I once believed love would be burning red, but it's golden, like daylight.

love is a truly indescribable thing.

it manifests differently in every person, making it hard to understand and accept sometimes.

for wakatoshi, love was making breakfast for his husbands every morning.

love for wakatoshi was buying the cologne his lovers liked on him the most, just so he could spray his hoodies with it and give them away.

for tooru, love was pecks on the lips first thing in the morning. love was holding pinkies with kiyoomi in public, because he still struggled with crowds.

love for tooru was making wakatoshi tea at three in the morning because he'd stayed up too late researching new techniques yet again.

for kiyoomi, love was the handwritten letters he wrote to tooru and wakatoshi. love was every emotion spilled out onto those pages.

love for kiyoomi was taking long baths together, soaking in the warmth both emotional and physical, that enveloped him.

love was their snakes.

love was wakatoshi dealing with the homophobia that came their way, because reputation was important for olympic gold medalists.

love was kiyoomi joining oikawa on the back of his motorcycle for the first time, curls floating on the inside of his helmet.

love was kiyoomi manicuring their nails, and painting tooru's a light shade of mauve, his favourite colour.

love was in their friendships.

love was in oikawa's best man speech for hajime.

love was in kiyoomi visiting atsumu and osamu often, being sure to stop at onigiri miya.

love was in wakatoshi bringing home packages upon packages of chocolates when he visited satori.

love was in yuuji's fingertips as he took care with tooru's fluffy hair.

love was in the stories wakatoshi had with daichi and tetsuro over coffee.

love was in the constant watching of koutaro and shoyo's matches, of which kiyoomi attended all but three.

love was in tooru.

love was in kiyoomi

love was in wakatoshi.

love was in the family they built together, just the three of them and their snake.

love was in the family that built along the way, their friends and their friend's families.

love was in every christmas, every valentines day, every white day.

they were love.
