Yamaguchi looked around at his apartment, taking in everything. It had been too long since he'd seen this all. 

Tsukishima was able to wheel him inside and was taking him to their room. "I'm praying this is clean enough. Are you okay?" 

"Mhmm!" 

Tsukishima smiled. He rolled him up to their bed and sat in front of him on the bed. "Would you like to go take a bath?" 

Yamaguchi tilted his head as if asking how. 

"I think I got the right shower chair that Lea recommended if you need it." 

Yamaguchi set down Mr. Buns and pat the bed. Tsukishima hefted him up and put him in his lap. He set him on the bed, moving him on his side a bit. His wheelchair was set aside and Tsukishima grabbed fuzzy and oversized clothes. 

"Are you wearing pants or no?" 

Yamaguchi shook his head. 

"Ah. Makes sense." 

Yamaguchi was put in the tub with a bit of warm water where he tried to hide his scarred hips and waist which was hard to do when he couldn't move his legs. Tsukishima moved his arms away and kissed his cheek and kept filling the tub. 

He sat with Yamaguchi, just waiting for him to calm. Yamaguchi wondered at the water, comfortable and relaxing. He held Tsukishima's hands and kissed his fingers, everything completely silent. 

Tsukishima let him do this, his eyes watching his partner. His heart hurt for Yamaguchi and wanted to hold him and tell him he was going to be okay. It would be cruel and false though. So for now he would felt Yamaguchi do as he needed. 

His kisses were pressed into his hands and arms and places Yamaguchi could reach on his upper chest without pain. He hadn't gotten to see Tsukishima in so long like this. Both of them loved to explore each other's bodies because of the calmness behind them and he couldn't have this until now. 

"Tadashi?" 

Yamaguchi looked up from holding Tsukishima's hands up to his lips. "Mm?" 

"Would you like it if I washed your hair? I'll dry it after and make sure that you're comfy." 

Yamaguchi nodded. Tsukishima kissed his cheek and got him a bit closer. 

"Close your eyes." 

Yamaguchi closed his eyes and shivered as Tsukishima poured water on his head. "M-mm." 

Tsukishima waited a moment before looking through the half-empty and strongly scented shampoos along the tub side. "Hm… Do you want the one that smells like syrup?" 

Yamaguchi opened his eyes and stared. He picked up a mint shampoo and strawberry conditioner. 

"Ah. Okay… We really need to get rid of some of these."

Yamaguchi started poking bottles, locking them over onto the floor. Tsukishima laughed and kissed his forehead. "Got it. Let's get your hair washed." 

Yamaguchi tilted his head up, eyes closed. "Mm…" 

Tsukishima playfully bit under his jaw before going to his hair. He rubbed his head and dig his nails into his scalp slightly, avoiding the scars at the bottom of his head where it had been shaved. 

He rinsed out Yamaguchi's hair and kissed his cheek. Yamaguchi's cheeks flushed and he laughed. 

"Are you embarrassed by me kissing your cheeks?" 

Yamaguchi whined. 

"Hm?" 

He bit Tsukishima's cheek and stuck out his tongue. 

"Ow, what the hell?" Tsukishima huffed. He bit back and Yamaguchi giggled. He leaned his head back and yawned. "Love you too asshat." 

Yamaguchi grunted at him. 

"Hush." Tsukishima conditioned his hair before rinsing it again and helping him with cleaning off the rest of his body. He washed himself off before taking Yamaguchi to their room where both of them got dressed for the most part. 

Yamaguchi curled up next to Tsukishima, head resting on his chest and mostly laying on the side that didn't hurt as much. Tsukishima had pulled up something to watch on his laptop and was planning to dry Yamaguchi's hair. 

Somehow they had gotten in this position. It was alright for him though and Yamaguchi looked like he was going to fall asleep any moment. 

"You alright baby?" Tsukishima questioned, turning his head to look at him. 

Yamaguchi rubbed Tsukishima's waist and hummed. 

"Nap time?" 

"Mhmm." 

"Ah… Night night kiss." Tsukishima bent slightly and Yamaguchi tilted his head up for a kiss. Tsukishima kissed him and pat his bottom as light as he could. 

Yamaguchi laughed and relaxed. 

Tsukishima got him to sleep, holding him close in a blanket. He eventually got up and started on dinner, throwing together something small for them.

When he was nearly done he went back to his room where he found that Yamaguchi had nearly gotten out of his sweater while sleeping. Tsukishima woke him and adjusted his sweater. "Anything hurt?" 

"Mm?" Yamaguchi rubbed his eyes. He yawned and grabbed onto Tsukishima, getting sat up a bit. Tsukishima hefted him up, still wrapped in a comforter.

"I'm almost done with dinner. Would you like to try and sit on your chair with a pillow?" 

Yamaguchi shook his head. 

"Couch?" 

"Mhmm…" 

"Alright." Tsukishima got him to lay on the couch. "Comfortable?" 

"Ye…" Yamaguchi waited a bit before sighing. "Y-yes." 

Tsukishima kissed him and got dinner. Yamaguchi ate, still looking around. They had pictures along a bookshelf, which he wanted to look at. 

Tsukishima got him several of the pictures down. Yamaguchi stared at the ones from high school where they were both with the team, in graduation uniforms. He looked so happy… Tsukishima was looking at him in most of the pictures. Or holding his hand. 

Even in the picture of Tsukishima sitting in the rain by himself, he was looking off to the left where Yamaguchi had been. 

Yamaguchi held the pictures to his chest, brows furrowed. 

"Tadashi?" Yamaguchi held out his hand and Tsukishima held it. "Would you like me to make you some cards to try and help with answering me?" 

"Mhmm…" 

Tsukishima nodded. He took away the plates and picked up Yamaguchi again, taking him back to their room. Yamaguchi was propped up and helped with the cards with messy writing. 

"Mm!" 

"What is it?" Tsukishima asked, looking up. 

Yamaguchi held up a card. On the paper were wobbly letters spelling out "I love you". 

"Ah… Thank you. I love you too." 

Yamaguchi picked up a card and held it out. This one said kiss me. 

Tsukishima did kiss him, chuckling into it as Yamaguchi giggled. "Do you want more kisses?" 

"Hehe… Mm…" 

Tsukishima kissed him a few more times, lovingly holding him. Yamaguchi kept giving him kisses until it was obvious he wanted to sleep. He tugged at Tsukishima's shirt, huffing and puffing. "Bedtime?" 

"Mhmm," Yamaguchi whined. 

"It's alright. Do you wanna change?" 

Yamaguchi pulled at his short shorts. 

"Off?" 

Yamaguchi nodded. 

Tsukishima pulled them off of him and didn't quite move him on his stomach but on his side nearly on his stomach. Since he couldn't move his legs there wasn't a huge risk of him dislocating his hips. "No pain?" 

Yamaguchi shook his head. "Mm…" 

"I guess you'll brush your teeth in the morning." Tsukishima pulled off his t-shirt. "I am going to go brush my teeth though." 

Yamaguchi nodded. He burrowed into the pillows holding him away from the mattress. Tsukishima brushed his teeth quickly before getting in bed and covering Yamaguchi up. Yamaguchi held a hand and slept soundly, comfortable. 

Tsukishima huddled up next to Yamaguchi, not touching except for a hand but he was close. He laid in the dark for a bit before he fell asleep, feeling safer. 

****

Warm…? 

Yamaguchi opened his eyes and whined. His room was hot as hell. 

His legs wouldn't work so he couldn't get up and open the window. For a moment he laid there, tempted to whine and wiggle around until he got Tsukishima awake. 

Instead, he took off his shirt and laid there. 

For five minutes. 

Then he got a little sweaty and fussier. 

Yamaguchi pat Tsukishima's hair and back, whining. 

"No baby…" 

Yamaguchi pulled his hair and whined louder. "Ah!" 

Tsukishima startled awake. "Yama…?" 

Yamaguchi huffed and puffed, whining. 

"Hang on, hang on." Tsukishima sat up. "Jesus fuck it's hot." 

"Mhmm!" 

He got up and turned on the fan. He climbed back in bed and laid on his back, closing his eyes. 

"Mm!" Yamaguchi pat his chest. 

"You still want to be held?" 

Yamaguchi nodded. He was put over Tsukishima, who fell back asleep quickly. Yamaguchi played with Tsukishima's hair and stayed still but he couldn't get back to sleep. 

It seemed like forever until ended up falling asleep. He was a bit more achy than usual but he was exhausted. His first night home had been amazing. 

Getting a bath and a nap and cuddles and homemade food was wonderful. And now he got to cuddle up with his lover, in his bed with his stuffed animals and cold pillows. 

****

Tsukishima sighed softly, opening his eyes a bit. He was overly aware of the warm body on top of him and holding him close. Carefully, he started to move Yamaguchi so he could go to the bathroom. 

Yamaguchi whined and woke up, clingy. He wanted to cuddle longer from what Tsukishima could tell. "I just need to go to the bathroom Tadashi. I'll be back." 

Yamaguchi whined in response. 

"I promise you'll get held more when I come back. Relax." Tsukishima went to the bathroom before coming back and seeing Yamaguchi trying his best to sit up. "Oh my God Tadashi wait." 

Teukishima sat him up and Yamaguchi smiled. 

"Good morning to you too." 

Yamaguchi pointed to his cards and held up the one with "I love you" on it. 

"I love you too. What do you want to do?" 

Yamaguchi held up his breakfast card. 

"Pancakes? Eggs? Something traditional?" 

"Mm!" 

"What?" 

"Pa... Pawn... Pan." Yamaguchi's eyes lit up. He'd almost gotten there. Just a little farther and he would be able to say a longer word. 

"Alright. Pancakes." Tsukishima rolled him into the kitchen where Yamaguchi played with a spoon. He was amazed at the shine of a metal spoon instead of a plastic one. 

He had only been given plastic silverware and it was boring. None of them had the little flower carvings his did. The ones he bought for five dollars because no one wanted them. He was unique and so were his things and he loved it.
