four out of six (daisuga)
"I'm going to die soon."
Daichi looked up from his reading at Suga's sudden words.
"What?"
"I said I'm going to die soon," he repeated calmly.
The setter, who was lying on his back on the bed, rolled over onto his side and looked down at where Daichi was sitting on the floor. Daichi set down his book beside him. Suga gave him a small smile. Daichi frowned.
"Don't say that."
"Why not? Because it's true?" When Daichi didn't reply, Suga reached out and tousled his hair. "I'm sorry. I know it's hard for you to hear me say things like that. But it helps me come to terms with it. Do you understand?"
Daichi closed his eyes and sighed. "I do." But that doesn't mean I've come to terms with it yet.
When Suga is diagnosed with cancer, it takes everything in Daichi's power to accept that within the year his best friend would no longer be alive. But that didn't mean he'd given up hope. So when Suga presents Daichi with his bucket list, Daichi does everything in his power to make Suga's last six request come true.
