Chapter Text
Suga waved goodbye to his students as the bell dismissed them for today. He hummed an old tune he remembered in high school as he packed up everything. He started placing activities for tomorrow, Suga would usually do it the day of, right before class starts but he’ll be busy this evening.
“Alright, time to finish this quickly! Daichi said he has time off today, better hurry so he isn’t waiting for me.”
It’s a calming schedule, at least two times a week, they meet up to chat, usually over food and usually they talk about their jobs.
Suga was thinking about what story to tell today when he heard his name being called out.
“Koushi!”
He turned around and saw Daichi waving to him. He had a bag of food in his hand, Suga noticed some leaves sticking out of the bag. He smiled teasingly.
“Daichi! woah, do you have produce in there? awww, are you gonna cook something for me?” Suga grinned
Daichi’s cheeks were slightly flushed, “yeah… well hurry and finish up… We don’t have all day.”
“We kinda do? Don’t tell me you’re gonna ditch me, We hardly have time now as if is!” Suga quickly finished up the last thing he needed for the classroom tomorrow and started walking with Daichi.
“I can’t believe you waited out my classroom this time, so eagar today, Mr Police Officer!” Suga teased.
“…will you stop with that nickname, I’m still the same Daichi you know.” Daichi grumbled affectionately. He smiled and added “same captain of Karasuno”
Suga bursted out laughing, “oh my god, I remember playing volleyball! too bad we only really made it in our third year.”
“It’s thanks to those first years, we ever had a fighting shot” Daichi added, while smiling.
“I wonder what theyre doing…I heard Kageyama’s on the Schweden Adlers.”
“I heard about that too, Hinata and Tsukishima are in a volleyball team as well. Hinata on MSBY Black Jackals and Tsukishima in Sendai Frogs”
Suga smiled, “They’ve all come so far, honestly.. What are we doing? Teacher and Police, doesn’t sound like something we can write home about it.”
Daichi let out a hearty laugh, “well, still! I think we have a right to be proud of ourselves! Especially you, Koushi. I could never handle kids as much as you do, you should be proud. I know I would be proud to have you teaching my kid”
Suga couldn’t help but blush at that statement, honestly, Daichi can be so heartfelt at times. He walked closer to him, the sun slowly starting to set.
Suga shoved him lightly, “You flirt! I can not believe some lady hasn’t snatched you up already! Saying such meaningful words to me. I won’t retire til I get to teach your kid, well if you ever manage to get one”
Daichi chuckled softly, “I mean, I have been trying to go back in the dating pool again, nothing too serious though, just downloaded a few apps here and there.”
They made it to Daichi’s apartment. Suga sat on one of the chairs, he’s been to his house a few times already so he made himself comfortable.
“Any luck so far? seeing any lovely ladies that caught your eye?” He joked, remembering Daichi’s luck in high school, the girls loved him, though he had never gone out with any girls. Michimiya was the exception, it didn’t really last too long, unfortunately. Daichi, however, also never seemed to be in shambles either. Arguably, Tanaka and Noya were more heartbroken than the man himself. Suga also remembered hearing Daichi’s love life in college, a few relationships there as well.
He giggled seeing the look on Daichi’s face. Even in adulthood, he was quite the catch. Suga was pretty curious on how his friend never landed in a serious relationship though. Him personally, Daichi was everything he asked for in a man, if he ever seeked out a man. He never really questioned his sexuality, well he thought Kiyoko was cute, but everyone does. Men don’t really get him excited, except for Daichi. The more he thought about it, the more his friend seemed appealing. He watched Daichi cut up some cabbage, washing them, and placing in a pot.
“Are you making soup for me, Daichi? what a caring guy you are” He joked.
Daichi smiled at Suga, “shouldn’t you be making dinner for me? Don’t I have the hardest job between the two of us?”
“hey! Dealing with kids can really take the winds out of your sails. Oh, that reminds me. you remember Haru, the kid who clings? Well, today he…”
Daichi listened to Suga talk about today’s events. Something about his students not letting go. He laughed as the teacher recollected the story, kids always sound so stressful, having the limits up to their imagination. Whenever he walks by the elementary school, Suga is always surrounded by kids and if he’s not, then best believe a kid is coming for him soon. A kid sounds too stressful for Daichi right now, he wouldn’t mind them in the future, actually. He finshed up the soup and spooned a few scoops for Koushi.
“Here you go, I heard this soup is supposed to help get more nutrients in.” Daichi said, handing the bowl to Suga. “Careful, it’s pretty hot still.”
Suga gave a few soft blows on the soup and took a sip, he gave Daichi an approving look, “It’s really yummy, I quite like it.”
Daichi smiled and grabbed two glasses, “we’ll be here for a while unless you have to grade papers or something and want to head back home.”
Suga dumped a stack of papers from his book bag, “I’ll be doing it here, you can’t get rid of me that easily, Officer Sawamura.” He laughed, seeing Daichi’s reaction to him being called officer. He started marking on the papers, checking on the progress of every student, in between pen strokes, they talked more about anything other topic they could grasp their hands on.
“I saw Tanaka and Kiyoko the other day, I still can’t believe they’re together.” Suga sighed, “should’ve been me”
Daichi laughed, “Like you had a chance, please Kou. You’re ridiculous.”
“God forbid a guy’s hopeful! but yeah Tanaka’s earned it, I’m sure Kiyoko liked him too, even back then. I remember hearing her telling Yachi that”
“Gotta hand it to them, theyre pretty cute. I’d love a relationship like that.”
“Don’t worry Daichi, you’ll get there someday, you softie!”
They continue talking. Once Suga’s done with his soup, and finshed his drink. Daichi clears the table, washing dishes as he hums to himself. The sound of pages flipping, the water hitting the dishes, and him chatting with Suga. He really enjoyed times like these.
“Koushi?”
Suga looked up, “yeah?”
“we can meet each other next week. Sorry that it can’t be earlier, For some reason, they want us to be on high alert? I have no idea but hey, if there’s danger, I want to make it stop.”
The teacher nodded, “yeah, it’s ok i get that, Miyagi isn’t exactly dangerous but it can get pretty scary sometimes.” The sky was starting grow dark. “ooh, I should probably start to go home!”
Daichi nodded, “come on, I’ll walk you to your place.”
Suga grinned, “More time together, I see how it is.”
“uh no, I ju-“
“It’s a joke, please Daichi! You remind me of Asahi when I’d joked about him changing in front of me”
“Well that’s Asahi, he’s a timid guy in general!”
They walked to Suga’s place, the night sky now glittering with stars. Unfortunately, the streetlights block any sight of actually seeing them. The officer laughed, hearing Suga complain about it. The two of them soon reached the apartment complex. Daichi waved goodbye to Suga as he dropped him off. They both wished each other good night and safe farewells. While Daichi went back to his place, Suga flopped on his bed and started unwinding. He sighed happily, a relief it was, to finally relax his shoulders. He couldn’t wait to see Daichi next week, it’s always nice to have a friend to talk to.

The next week has arrived, Suga starts packing up to see Daichi. It’s getting late, he had to stay after hours for a meeting. He stretched and he noticed Daichi waiting outside for him, his face was nervous and looked at Suga with desperation. Clinging to Daichi’s hand, was a young boy, gripping on his shirt. The officer looked at Suga, with a pleading and slightly embarrassed look on his face.
“I have a kid now, can you help me, please?”
“Awww. oh my god a kid, you have a kid now? wait, A KID!?”
