Summary
' "Excuse me," Shouyou says, sounding frustrated. "When exactly did Kageyama get all sexy?"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Tobio demands.
"You used to be all weird and awkward and now you're like all—guh and unnngh and stuff!"
"I have never made either of those sounds in my life," Tobio deadpans.
"Yes, you have," Koushi says. Tobio scowls. '
--
Four years after Koushi graduates, two years after he and Tobio started putting together the puzzle that is their relationship, the last piece finally falls into place.

Summary
'Shouyou's eyes are closing. "You're warm."
"It only feels that way because you are hellaciously cold," Koushi tells him. Shouyou squints up at him and he chuckles. "That means your hands are cold as hell, Hinata Shouyou."
Those same cold hands trace down the column of Koushi's spine, first one, then the other, and Koushi shivers, a little tremble that drags from his waist up to his neck.
"So maybe you should warm me up, Sugawara Koushi." '
--
Shouyou is cold and the kotatsu is broken.

Summary
' "Tobio," Koushi says sweetly, "don't you want to watch?"
"I can't," Tobio replies, voice hoarse from holding it back.
"Tobio," Koushi says again, though his voice is decidedly less sweet, the way he purrs the next words. "If you don't watch, we'll stop." '
--
Just a lazy Sunday morning.

Summary
'Their fourth kiss is at the door to Koushi's apartment.
"Thank you for tonight," Tobio tells him. Like he's realized something he forgot, he pauses, before pressing his lips to Koushi's. He starts to retreat.
Koushi leans forward, chasing the kiss, catching his sleeve.
About thirty-seven seconds later, he has his legs wrapped around Tobio's waist as his former kouhai slams him against the wall of his apartment.'
--
They've waited long enough.

Summary
'Truthfully, Shouyou thinks he knows what he wants. It's just that he has no idea how to bring it up. It's needy, it's a little selfish, and it's a lot embarrassing. But he hasn't been able to stop thinking about it since that first night.'
--
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
