daisuga is the martha stewart domestic catalogue of my heart

There’s not many things that make Daichi cry these days.

He cried much more when he was younger; over losses that felt too big for what they were, for small things that were pressed, so unexpectedly, so gently, into the palm of his hand on the day he and Suga had graduated high school. Daichi had not been brave enough; he should have known that Suga had always been all the bravery he needed.

(Daichi still keeps that second button from Suga’s school uniform, tucked away in the same box as the cufflinks he reserves for special occasions.)

So Daichi is not sure why there are tears in his eyes as he watches the water turn to steam in the sink; the tap is running over the smoldering remains of what used to be their old kitchen curtains, and he can’t help the tight feeling in his chest. It had only taken a moment of inattention after a long day of university classes, bone tired during finals week, and before he knows it, the oil had burnt too hot and droplets had set the cheap fabric on fire. The entire kitchen smells acrid with it; his eyes sting and he’s trying so hard to blink the wetness from them. He feels faintly ridiculous.

“We can get new ones, Daichi,” Suga says, standing at his shoulder, and Daichi can tell Suga is struggling to keep the smile off his face. “They were really ugly. Didn’t you hate the pattern?” The curtains had little cartoon crows on them, and Suga had ugly laughed with so much delight at finding them in the discount bin. Suga had named them, this one with the misshapen eyes had been Kageyama, this one with the misprint in red had been Hinata. It had done a little to soothe the homesickness they had felt like a sting; three years ago seems almost like yesterday, when they had come to Tokyo so full of its lights in their eyes, and not much money in their pockets except for the scholarships they had worked so hard to get, and they had wanted everything the world had to offer.

“They were the first thing we bought together for this apartment,” Daichi replies, voice gruff, and now Suga does smile, and it’s small, and soft, and so full of unbearable fondness.

“Unbelievable. I can’t believe what a sap you are. I’m embarrassed for you.” There’s a light thump as Suga punches him lightly in the ribs as he laughs at him, but then Daichi feels arms slipping around his waist. “Take me out for dinner, and I’ll buy you the nicest curtains in town. Your pick. As fancy as you like. Only nice, fancy curtains for Lord Sawamura Daichi.”

“I kinda liked the crows,” Daichi murmurs, turning his face into Suga’s hair, and he kisses the little tuft that always seems to stick out as Suga just groans in disbelief.

“Truly unbelievable.”
