Chapter Text
Everyday was pure bliss, he'd wake up at seven to watch Kei making breakfast in their little kitchen. Golden hair would glow with the morning sun, wet with sweat from a night shift or with water from an early shower. He'd say "Morning, Tsuki" and win a hum and a kiss in the cheek as response.
Everyday was delightful but something was missing. Tadashi could feel it in his bones but he couldn't decipher what.
"What's wrong, Yama?" He got out of his daze and enjoyed the warmth on his back thanking Akiteru for the large couch.
"I don't know" because, really, he didn't. It was just a thing in the back of his mind trying to make their way trough, but failing miserably.
"Hmm...is it about work? It's been a long while since you've had a day off" Oh, was that it?
"Maybe, I'll talk to Yachi about it tomorrow morning" And like that, he was pulled closer and fell asleep being held tight.

Blonde hair came to focus as a breathless and screaming Yachi caught up to him at the school's entrance.
"Kyoko...office...you...NOW!"
Just like that he was pushed through the hallways to the taller and scarier supervisor.
"Yamaguchi-kun, have a sit" He complied and stiffened as she started to talk again "You need some vacation" Well, he wasn't fired, at least not yet " but we have a job we thought you'd like"
"It's really interesting and will be better than just spend the days off by yourself at home" Had Yachi been there the whole time?
"Yeah, yeah. The only flaw is that it would be volunteer, that's why we're asking beforehand"
"Oh, that's...it's okay. Can I ask what it would be?
✻ ❉ ✻
"YOU ARE VOLUNTEERING ON YOUR VACATION?!?!"
"Well, you see-"
"Why didn't you talk to me before answering?"
"Tsuki, I-"
"Now that I thought we could actually spend some time together"
"WE ARE NEVER TOGETHER" Wait, did he really say that? By the way his boyfriend froze yes. "You are just...never home"
His voice broke at the end and he couldn't control the sobs when the hug came.
"Yama, I-"
"Of course you didn't know" That's not how he wanted things to be, this weren't his happy days. "I'm so lonely, Kei"
That was it, at the mention of his given name the other knew how bad the situation was. He guided the tears sobbing mess in his arms and flopped them down on the couch. After minutes of soothing his Tadashi down, the tears stopped and he talked again.
"So, what do you wanna do?"
