FILL: Team Azumane Asahi/Sawamura Daichi/Sugawara Koushi, T
word count: 1282
"So Sawamura, what do you say?"
The flyer in his hand still seemed like a joke, despite the fact it was very real in his hand and he had read it at least fifty times by now. But it stated very clearly what it was and what it meant: Psychology Department Couples Study. Must be over the age of 18, must have been living together for at least six months. Will be paid for time in study.
Daichi can literally feel Kuroo's gaze on his neck, waiting for the answer. Both of them kind of know what it is though - no one can say no to easy money in university.
(Still.)
"Sure, why not?"
It's only the first part that turns out to be tricky. Iwaizumi nearly laughs himself into a coma when they propose the plan to have Kuroo stay in their apartment (the studio Kuroo shared with Kenma would never work out) over ramen (their treat).
Since he says yes, Daichi and Kuroo figure it was worth the extra thousand yen for the bribe.
After that, no one really seemed to question them suddenly being an item. Daichi and Kuroo don't question it either - they can get by easier with this study thing if no one's asking needless questions.
Both of them ignore the way Iwaizumi and Kenma roll their eyes about it.
Part of the study turns out to be a sleep test.
"We'll need to pick a night where we can have you two come to the lab room to sleep." Ushijima explains, uncaring for the way Daichi's neck turns red or how Kuroo's fingers twitch in his jacket pockets. "It will be arranged as comfortably as possible, and you're free to bring whatever amenities from your rooms that you need. Do you have any questions?"
"Just one." Kuroo says, "Are you guys providing the condoms and lube or do we gotta bring it?"
Daichi adjusts the bag on his shoulder, trying to keep his chin up. All joking aside, pretending to be dating for a few questionnaires and some observational stuff is one thing, but sleeping together is a totally different beast. He thinks it'll be fine - but it doesn't feel fine. Not with Kuroo so twitchy, cracking twice as many jokes like Daichi is so dense he can't tell what Kuroo's trying to hide. "You know, there's nothing to be nervous about."
"Who said anything about me being nervous?" Kuroo snorts, shaking his head, "Are you sure you're not just projecting, Sawamura?"
Daichi gives him a level stare, holding it until the high arch of Kuroo's shoulders sag.
"Just think of it like training camps." Daichi tries, "Except we're sharing a futon, I guess."
"Gee, that sounds sooooooo much better."
"Hey, at least I showered today, so if either of us should be bitching it should be me."
"Oi!!"
Daichi barks out a laugh at Kuroo's pissy cat face. "I'm teasing, jeez." He softens though, knowing he shouldn't be too hard on the guy. Slowly, he extends his hand, taking Kuroo's in his own with a squeeze.
"We'll be fine."
Daichi falls asleep easily after the usual check of his phone and doing late night studying. This, Kuroo has learned, is a totally normal part of his going to bed routine.
But usually Kuroo doesn't get to see it at such a close range he can smell the faint tinges of Daichi's aftershave on his skin. For as steady and calm as the man is, seeing him asleep at his side makes his heart stutter in a way that makes him think it'd be okay to call the hospital.
Kuroo takes a deep breath, and buries his face in Daichi's shoulder. He'll just have to accept the night without sleeping.
Kuroo, as usual, sleeps well into the mornings, an unshakeable mass until at least eleven as long as he has no where to be. Daichi's seen it at work plenty of times, but never has it happened where Kuroo's nose was practically brushing against his own.
He doesn't know how they got twisted around in the night. He doesn't know why it's so cozy to be pressed against Kuroo's body like this, except that it is, and oh man.
Daichi has to get up. Now.
In the end, they get 10,000 yen each for the study.
Naturally, they blow it on barbeque and booze.
They've long since lost track of the number of drinks they've thrown back, like the amount of meat they've packed into their gullets after months of being stingy, it's way too high to count. Kenma and Iwaizumi are with them, somewhere, but Daichi's long since lost track of them too.
All he cares about is how warm it is against Kuroo's side. He enjoys his little home here.
"Hey, Sawamura."
"Hmm?"
"Do you..." Kuroo stops, taking a breath, finishing his drink. "Do you like me?"
"'Course I like you." the answer comes as easily as the breath between the words, "I wouldn't be here if I didn't."
If Daichi were paying attention instead of resting his face in Kuroo's shoulder, he would see the way Kuroo's eyes go wide and his face flushes pink from his answer.
He doesn't miss the way Kuroo takes his hand, fingers threaded together tight.
When he wakes up the next morning in his own bed, stripped down to his boxers, Daichi realizes their hands are still linked.
"So.... now what?"
Iwaizumi went out on a run, so it's just Kuroo and Daichi in the apartment, sharing coffee on his bed as the morning sun streams through the windows.
"What do you mean?" Kuroo asks through a yawn and another sip of coffee.
Daichi sighs, "I mean, since the study's over and all. We don't have to do, this." He waves his hand between the two of them. "You can move back to your place, and we don't have to be dating anymore."
"...I thought we settled this last night?" Kuroo asks, his tone a little too even for the skeptical look in his eye.
"We did?" Daichi doesn't really remember, he thinks through their conversations, something about their chemistry professor, the new practice routine for the team, about how much he liked Kuroo despite everything about--
Wait.
"Oh my god." And Daichi goes positively scarlet trying to hide his face in his hands, and Kuroo starts to laugh.
"C'mon Sawamura, you weren't that drunk!" But he tapers off, looking over at Daichi expectantly. "But really, if you didn't mean it last night, it's cool."
Daichi takes a deep breath. Kuroo holds his.
"No, no." He pulls his hand away, face still burning. "I meant it."
Kuroo lights up like a hundred watt bulb.
"Well then, boyfriend," Daichi is sure he said that just to make him groan, "I think we should actually move in together."
"You just want to because your apartment lease with Kenma is all but dead."
"Details." Kuroo says, waving his hand, and putting his coffee aside before turning to stare Daichi dead in the eye. Something about his seriousness makes his heart flip a little, the same way it did when they shared the futon and when they wake up intertwined like his mother's old red yarn. "But really, I could use the space, I can pay rent, and we know we can share well. So it seems like a good fit, right?"
Daichi swallows thickly. He is right about all those things after all, and it doesn't do Daichi any favors when Kuroo's grinning ear to ear, face a beautiful hopeful pink.
"So Sawamura, what do you say?"
