FILL: TEAM GRANDSTAND
They go see the ocean together, pant legs rolled up and cold sparkling water lapping at their ankles. Slow feet treading further and further out from the shoreline. Furuya’s hand hovers between Sawamura’s shoulder blades, fingers tracing an imaginary number. Their summer has long ended and the skies are overcast, but even in the hazy sunlight, there’s a warm gold outlining Sawamura’s profile. When he tilts his face up towards Furuya, big bright eyes and a quirk to his mouth, Furuya lets his fingers fall, bumping against the warm curve of Sawamura’s spine.
“What is it,” Sawamura asks, leaning in closer with a tilt of his hip. “We’re not in that deep,” he says, curling his fingers around Furuya’s arm; even with his toes balanced precariously on slippery rocks and wet sand, he stretches up with a dangerous arch of his back. “Are you afraid of falling?”
There’s a curve to his mouth that Furuya traces with his eyes. A hundred different angles and shapes to Sawamura’s loud moving mouth but there’s always something familiar about it. Pink and soft and warm. Furuya licks the salt from his lips and turns his face away, faint sunlight skimming his cheeks as he presses his fingers harder against Sawamura’s back.
“Hey,” Sawamura shouts, stumbling forward a little. His grip tightens around Furuya’s arm, voice catching on a gust of wind, “Furuya! You – “ Always that tone, Furuya thinks, chasing him down. Thundering feet and a warm breath at the back of his neck.
This far out, the waves crash into their knees, water breaking into salt on their skin and Furuya can taste it on his tongue, can feel it settle on him like a cloud of mist, drying like caked-on tears.
Sawamura tugs a little harder on Furuya’s sleeve, huffing a sigh as he swivels around to push into Furuya’s frame of view. From this angle, Sawamura's face is shadowed in diffusive planes, a flash of some strange and bittersweet emotion flickering across his face like light rippling under the surface of the water.
"It'll be a while before you see this again, huh?" Sawamura sighs, eyes turning towards the horizon. He tucks his elbow close against Furuya's ribs, sharp bones and warm skin, that same proximity, familiar and unshakably constant.
Furuya hums quietly, swaying a little closer towards Sawamura. "Tokyo skyline," he murmurs, hip brushing up against Sawamura, hand sliding over the curve of his shoulder. There is so much blue around them, stretching wide around them and curving up above them as far as they can see.
“‘Tokyo skyline,’” Sawamura laughs, his shoulders shaking lightly against Furuya’s side. "Only you would call this the 'Tokyo skyline,'" Sawamura says, the corners of his eyes crinkle with a smile. “But it is a nice view,” he says, looking up at Furuya. His mouth twists into a grin, fast and easy, “You better not get soft back in Hokkaido." Teeth flashing like sharp white points in his mouth. “Nippon Ham Fighters or not, you better not be all droopy when you come back."
The elbow pushing up close and hard against Furuya’s ribs should hurt, but he only leans in closer, curling loose limbed and heavy over Sawamura’s shoulder. "I'm going to be working hard here too," Sawamura rambles, mouth moving loud and fast, shoulders shifting under Furuya's weight. "Just because I'm not going pro just yet doesn't mean you can slack off," he says. There’s sea foam around their legs and sparse sunlight against his neck and Sawamura’s hair, soft and misty against his face. The sound of Sawamura's voice slips in between the ebb and flow of the waves, crashing against their knees before slipping far and away towards the curving edge of the horizon.
“You’re so annoying,” Furuya mutters, lips fluttering light against Sawamura’s skin, warm breath catching in his throat when Sawamura tilts his face up. "You're annoying," Furuya says again, louder as Sawamura's elbow twists against his ribs. His words trail off with half-hearted exasperation, lips pursed and pushing forward to close the small gap between them. The gold in Sawamura's eyes shimmer until his eyelashes flutter closed. There's blue spread out all around them and sea salt on their tongues when he kisses the crooked scowl of Sawamura's mouth. Here with his feet in the cold ocean and the open sky stretched wide above them, everything feels big and far. He presses in closer to Sawamura, eyes squeezing shut as he kisses him harder. Warmth blossoms out of the cold as Sawamura pushes back against him, stubborn mouth chasing after him until there's nothing but the sound of their hearts beating warm and loud in his ears.
