Most people wouldn’t get their relationship. Kiyoomi usually was quite cold, and tried to stay away from everyone. And more than once, they had asked him why he was staying in a relationship with him.
But Shouyou saw more than just the surface.
Sure, Sakusa Kiyoomi wasn’t dying to show off his affection in public. Or to talk about his deep feelings towards him. He even barely accepted to hold hands in front of everyone, and Shouyou had learned to accept that.
However, he didn’t hesitate in bringing him breakfast in bed, or preparing a nice and relaxing bath after a stressful day at practice.
Sure, Sakusa Kiyoomi wouldn’t give him a passionate kiss in front of the rest of the team. But he always had a nice blanket, so they could cover themselves during their bus trips, and cuddle until they reached their destination.
Shouyou watched as his boyfriend was folding his clothes, and putting them into their backpacks. His mouth curled up in a smile, wondering what he had done to be so lucky.
“What?” Kiyoomi asked, as he realized that Shouyou was just standing there so close to him.
Shouyou closed the distance between them, and went to hug him from behind.
“Have I told you how much I love you, Omi-san?” He whispered.
Kiyoomi didn’t reply at first, since he was still packing. However, he soon felt the warmth on his cheeks, and he had to stop. He closed his eyes, as he enjoyed being held like that.
“I love you too, Shouyou-kun.”
Sure, Sakusa Kiyoomi wasn’t really open about his feelings, and would never write him a poem. But when he was comfortable showing the contents of his heart, it was like receiving oxygen, when you were struggling to breathe.
And Shouyou treasured those moments, as if his life was depending on it.
