Unhealthy obsession (Haikyuu AU)

Chapter 23

Shirabu grunted in frustration before jumping up again to try and see something through the window. "I don't see shit," he said in a whisper, turning to his friend.

Yamaguchi followed suit and jumped, but his attempts were unsuccessful just as his friend's. Shirabu whirled around with his arms crossed, wondering to find some way to see what was going on inside that place. They already got there, but the obstacle of the window was very difficult for them to overcome.

When one of the most famous porn gossip twitter accounts announced that Kenma, the director of Oikawa's and Kuroo's film, was going to be part of a premiere party of the film where other famous porn actors would also attend, Shirabu's alerts fired. After doing a minimum investigation through the different twitter profiles, he found that his favorite actor—and also that of Yamaguchi, his partner in crime that night—was attending that party. And, as it was obvious, Shirabu wasn't going to miss the chance to see someone like him up close.

He spent the day before searching for the party venue, accessing dubious forums, blogs and websites where he could find out that the party would take place in a huge venue on the outskirts of the city. It was indicated that the security of the place would be strong and impossible to trespass, but there were Shirabu and Yamaguchi after having jumped the wall that surrounded the place.

Swallowing his pride, Shirabu turned again to look at Yamaguchi, who was still bouncing around with his hands resting on the gap in the closed window.

"Lift me up."

Yamaguchi suddenly turned around to look at him scrunching his nose. "What!?" he yelled in a shrill whisper, releasing himself from the window. "Are you crazy!? What if we get caught?"

"Don't be an idiot, we're already here. They can catch us even if you don't lift me up, we entered in a private place surrounded by security guards," Shirabu said, clicking his tongue in annoyance. "Since we've reached the door of the place the director of a porn movie rented for a party, at least let us see something. So, lift me up."

Yamaguchi snorted reluctantly but looked at Shirabu in defeat. Shirabu was right. They were already there, they had entered the land belonging to someone else without being allowed. That was considered breaking and entering, it couldn't get much worse, so... why not?

Yamaguchi squatted on the ground and looked at the boy from below. "Hold on tight, I don't have much strength," he said, extending his hands.

Shirabu nodded and slipped his legs over Yamaguchi's shoulders; both boys held hands to have greater support. Using his leg muscles, Yamaguchi stood up with Shirabu over his shoulders. They staggered slightly before Yamaguchi planted his feet firmly on the ground, offering more stability to the boy on top of him.

"Come closer to the window," Shirabu said looking down.

With slow, wobbly and clumsy steps, Yamaguchi approached the window. Shirabu's eyes were on the edge of the window and he could see, with some difficulty, four people sitting on stools with microphones in their hands. They were talking in front of a camera.

"There are many people inside," Shirabu whispered in fascination, sweeping the room with his gaze. "I think that's Oikawa. If his fans saw him they would drool. Now that I think about it, didn't someone on his group chat say they were coming just to see him? I think Semi or Suga said something about it on Teru's group chat."

"Yeah...," Yamaguchi said breathlessly, balancing to try and support Shirabu's weight. "Semi said something... but I don't remember who wanted to come..."

"Hmm... I wish I could remember," Shirabu said. "Imagine how funny it'd be if we run into someone we know here. That'd be fucking uncomfortable."

Shirabu laughed, but Yamaguchi didn't say anything. He could only think of his balance. He felt weak, his legs were shaking and he was sweating a lot. He felt that he was losing strength with every second that passed. "Hey... Shirabu...," he gasped, "focus on... focus on who we've come to find... it's hard for me... to hold you..."
