Daichi slammed the ball over the net. He looked at his hand, feeling good about the spike, then looked up at his new teammate, Sugawara. They grinned at each other.
"That was a great toss!"
"That was a great spike!"
It was their first time ever playing together, having only met a few minutes previously, and their first try was a success. They double high-fived.
And their hands collided, Daichi's vision burst.
He blinked at the sudden change and said the first thing that popped into his head, "Your hair is grey even in color."
Then he realized.
He was seeing in color.
Suddenly, his face started heating up like a thermostat. Sugawara was turning as red as he was as they stared at each other, shocked.
Suga pointed at him, "Y-you! It's—I—is this actually happening?"
"First years, what's going on?" the captain called from the other side of the gym.
They spun around, "N-nothing!"
Asahi ran over to them, "Are you two okay?" They nodded, but Asahi noticed their intense blush. "Are you sure?"
Daichi looked over at Suga, wondering if he should say anything. Suga was looking at his shoes and twiddling his thumbs. Cute, Daichi thought. Then, Suga looked at him, as if asking for permission. Daichi nodded.
"We kind of, um... I guess we're soulmates? 'Cuz we're seeing color now," Suga's thumb-twiddling only increased.
Asahi looked at them, shocked, "For real?"
"It appears so," Daichi shrugged. He turned and smiled at Sugawara. Their eyes met, and they both blushed and looked away.
"First years, seriously, get back to practice!" the captain called again.
Daichi turned, "Sorry! It's just..."
"What?"
Suga spoke up, "Touched, seeing color. Yeah. So..."
Daichi nodded.
The captain took a moment to process and then, not quite knowing how to react, said, "Okay, congratulations I guess. Do what you need, and when you're ready, get back to practice."
They nodded, "Thank you."
"Daichi?" Sugawara spoke into his boyfriend's chest as he laid on top of him.
"Hmm?" Daichi stroked his hair, staring at his phone in his other hand.
"What's your favorite color?"
Daichi smiled to himself. Suga loved to ask him that. It seemed he was asked every few days since they had started dating a year and a half ago. He found it cute. "Why do you ask that so often?"
"Because sometimes it changes," Suga nuzzled in closer to him, "and I want to know if it does."
Daichi sighed, "Still grey."
"You're boring. All these bright colors and you choose the one that used to be the only color you could see at all."
Daichi shrugged, "What can I say?"
"What shade of grey at least?"
"Your hair. That exact color. I love it," Daich kissed the top of his head.
He knew Suga was blushing as he said, "Cheese ball."
Daichi laughed, "Yeah but you love me for it. How about you? Favorite color?"
Suga hummed in thought against Daichi's chest, "I guess light shades of blue? I don't know, it's hard to pick one, but cyan and sky blue and stuff. Oh yeah, and your pretty brown eyes."
"Is that so?," Daichi put his phone aside.
"Mmhm."
"Then look me in my 'pretty brown eyes' and stop hiding your face, my fellow cheese ball."
Sugawara looked up and smiled brightly at Daichi. Daichi leaned in and kissed him softly. The two hummed contently in each other's arms. Suga adjusted and moved further up against Daichi, kissing him back, harder this time.
"Oh, we're doing this now?" Daichi asked playfully.
"Yep," Suga pressed against him and gave him an eskimo kiss.
"I love you, Kouchi."
"Love you too, Dai."
Yuh, so this part is really short, and low key cringy, especially in the first half, but whatever. Maybe I'll do a sequel to it, but these cuties will make more appearances in the next parts.
Next time on "Emel is just writing short things because she never finishes long stuff": Tanakiyo.
Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed!
With love,
