Chapter Text
After a long video game session, Tsukki ahead by just a few points, Yamaguchi mutters something under his breath. It's heartfelt and wistful, quiet and calm despite the harsh words they'd been saying to each other for the past few minutes. Tsukki asks Yamaguchi to repeat himself, and he does.
"Daisuki."
Tsukki doesn't understand how Yamaguchi's bad english makes his heart beat faster and his cheeks turn red, but he goes back to the game and gets badly beaten by his freckled friend. Later, as they lay on Tsukki's bed, figuring out if dinosaurs really died or if they're floating in space to another planet, Tsukki asks an odd question.
"Why'd you ask for me to die during our game?" And Yamaguchi bursts out laughing, curling over and wiping tears from his eyes.
"I didn't, Tsukki. You're so dumb!" Tsukki's face goes red, and he pushes Yamaguchi off of his stomach and to the corner of his bed. His arm is arched over his glasses-less face, and he's kinda sad he can't see how cute Yamaguchi looks while laughing.
"Die, Tsukki! Die, Tsukki!" Yamaguchi says through shortened breathes. "You're so dumb!"
