"Excuse me. Is Tadashi here?"

The Karasuno volleyball team's eyes travelled to the doors of the gym, which were slightly open as a boy poked his head in. He had messy (H/C) hair and glossy (E/C) eyes, which had dark bags beneath them. "Uh, he went to get a stray ball that flew out the window right now. Who are you?" Tanaka asked, crossing his arms.

"(L/N) (M/N)," The boy answered tiredly. He spotted Tsukishima and waved. "Sup Tsukki."

The team expected a dry response; something along the lines of 'Don't call me that' or 'Shut up'. But instead, the blonde simply replied with, "Hey."

(M/N) looked over at Daichi. "Do you mind if I wait here for Tadashi to finish practice? I'm supposed to walk him home."

"Uh, yeah, that sounds fine," Daichi shrugged. (M/N) took a seat against the wall, sliding down to the floor and pulling his knees to his chest. He laid his head on his arms, shutting his eyes. "Uh.. Tsukishima, who is that?" The captain whispered to the blonde.

Just as Tsukishima was about to answer, Yamaguchi returned, a ball in hand. "Hey guys! I got the ball!" He exclaimed, smiling and catching his breath. The rest of the team just looked at him - some with worried expressions, others with ones of confusion. "Uh, is something wrong?"

"Yamaguchi! Some weird guy said he had to walk you home!" Tanaka shouted, pointing at the boy against the wall. He hadn't said a word. "Now he's being real quiet! Is some perv trying to get in your pants?!"

"Weird guy-?" Yamaguchi replied, turning his head. He dropped the ball and squeaked. "(M/N)!" He yelped, speed walking over to the boy. He kneeled down, taking off his jacket and laying it over (M/N)'s shoulders. "Are you seriously sleeping right now..?"

"Uh, who is that Yamaguchi?" Hinata asked, tilting his head like a curious puppy. Kageyama nodded and raised an eyebrow, crossing his arms.

Tadashi chuckled, kissing the boy's head. "My boyfriend!"

"..."
"YOUR WHAT?!"

Tadashi bashfully laughed and rubbed his neck, nodding. He felt a tug on his jacket and turned his head. (M/N)'s head was poking up, eyes half-lidded. "Hi Tada.." he mumbled. "Can you tell them to quiet down..?"

Tadashi chuckled and pat (M/N)'s head. "I mean, you are at a volleyball practice. We can't be all that quiet," he spoke. (M/N) groaned and nodded, and Tadashi gave him his earbuds. "Use these. I'll be done in like, an hour."
(M/N) nodded and put the earbuds in, connecting them to his phone and turning on music. Within seconds, he was asleep again. Tadashi turned to the team. "Sorry about him. But yeah, he's my boyfriend!"

"Wow. Did not expect that!" Hinata laughed. Kageyama smacked his head, growling. "Ow! Why'd you do that, Bakayama?!"

"Don't be rude, Hinata boke!"

"Guys, guys, please!" Sugawara interrupted. He looked at (M/N) and Tadashi, smiling kindly. "We should at least try to be quiet for (L/N). He's obviously tired."

Yamaguchi sighed and smiled. "Thank you Suga-san," he thanked. He kissed (M/N)'s head one more time, then ran off to finish practice.
After about an hour and a half of practice, the team had just finished cleaning up and were all leaving. Tadashi walked over to (M/N), kneeling down and gently shaking him awake. "We're all done. We can go home now."

"Finally," (M/N) mumbled. He stood up and stretched, then shrugged on Tadashi's jacket. It was a bit loose/tight, but he didn't mind. He held his boyfriend's hand and yawned. They walked home with Tsukishima, who eventually split apart from them at his street. When they got to Yamaguchi's house, they stopped at the doorstep. "I'll try not to call you again tonight. You look sleepy, and that's my job," (M/N) chuckled.

"You know I don't mind (M/N)," Tadashi giggled, resting his arms on his boyfriend's shoulders. "Call me if you need to. And if you don't," he kissed (M/N) and pulled away, saying, "I'll see you tomorrow."

~~~

Honey
I'd walk through fire for you
Just let me adore you
Oh, hon-!

Tadashi yawned as he sat up and picked up the call that had his phone blasting music. "Well hello," he greeted with a yawn. "Took my advice?"

"Oh shut up. I didn't want to, I just got really bored."

Tadashi laughed and flopped backwards, putting an arm behind his head. "Well, what are you doing right now?"

"Thinking of you.. and eating.."

Tadashi blushed, smiling a little bit. "Really? What were you thinking of about me?"

He heard (M/N) sighed and chuckled. "Well.. I was thinking about how cute you are. With all your little freckles and acne scars, even the ones on your shoulders and back. I really love your hair - it's so soft and cute.."

"No it's not, it's a really ugly shade of olive green-"

"Shhh, I'm praising you right now, baby," (M/N) cut him off. "I like your hands.. they're so soft and warm, even on the coldest days.. and I like when you kiss right under my eyes, where I have the dark spots.."
(M/N) went on for a while, listing every single thing he thought was cute about Tadashi. By the end, Tadashi was nearly in tears. He yawned, smiling fondly. "Tired?" (M/N)'s voice asked gently on the other side of the line.

"Mhm.. I think I'm gonna go to bed," Tadashi mumbled. "I'll see you tomorrow at school. Byeeee~"

"Bye babe," (M/N) chuckled. He ended the call, then sighed and looked up at the ceiling. He stood up and walked around his bedroom, trying to tire himself out. After about five minutes, he sat back down. He unlocked his phone and opened his music app, beginning to listen to any music playing.
When one song began to play, he had an idea. (M/N) smiled and looked at his wallpaper, which was a photo of him and Tadashi eating ice cream. "Hmm," he hummed. "I've got nothing better to do.."

~~~

The next day, the volleyball team questioned Tadashi about his relationship with (M/N). They were still in shock; how could they not know one of their teammates had a boyfriend? And that it wasn't Tsukishima?
Tadashi explained that he and (M/N) had started dating half a year ago, after a very awkward and shy confession. He also had to answer the question of why (M/N) was always so sleepy; he had insomnia. Because of that condition, it usually led to sweet conversations in the middle of the night.

And that night, it just that. (M/N) couldn't sleep for the life of him, so he called up Tadashi again. But this time, the chat was about something different. "Tadashi, do you remember when we met?" (M/N) laughed, his phone on speaker as he cleaned his room up.

"Yeah, on the first day of school. Didn't I crash into you?" He heard Tadashi giggle from the other side of the line. "I remember.. you were lost, so you were walking around to look for your class. Tsukki and I were walking to class, and I tripped and well- landed on you! Wow.. that was really bad, now that I think about it.."

"But if you hadn't fallen, we wouldn't have met," (M/N) chuckled, tossing some dirty clothes in the hamper. "Wanna know my first impression of you?" He asked as he looked at the photos he had pinned up on his wall of his boyfriend.

"Oh yes, please enlighten me~"

(M/N) smiled and took down one of the photos. In it, Tadashi was wearing a cute shirt and some shirts, sitting on (M/N)'s lap in a photo booth. "Well, I thought you were clumsy. I mean, who trips on the first day of school?" He smirked. He heard Tadashi whine and snickered. "But, I also thought you were pretty cute. Your expression while you were trying to apologize - absolutely priceless!"

"You're so mean!" Tadashi laughed. (M/N) laughed along, putting the photo back up. "Well, I thought you.. I thought you were kinda scary.."

"Wait, really?" (M/N) asked, looking at the phone with a concerned look. "Why?"

"Well, you had these super dark eye bags, for one. They made you look super.. well, I don't know, scary!" Tadashi exclaimed. "And you just looked really annoyed while I was trying to apologize- I shouldn't say this! Not after all the nice stuff you said!"

(M/N) smiled, but felt a small pang of hurt in his heart. "Well, I'm sorry I scared you that day," he mumbled. He looked at the time. "Hey, you should probably head to bed. You have a game tomorrow, don't you?"

"Oh yeah, you're right!" Tadashi yelped. (M/N) chuckled as he heard the shuffling of bed sheets and pillows. "You still want me to come over tomorrow night, right? For our three month anniversary?"

"Of course Tada. Good luck tomorrow, okay?"

"Thanks (M/N). Night!"

"Night," (M/N) smiled and ended the call. As soon as the call screen disappeared, he went to his music app and looked at the playlist he had made the night before. He then glanced at the bags by his door and hummed happily. "This should be perfect.."

~~~

The next day, Tadashi returned to school with a grin on his face. The team had won their volleyball game, and now he could go home and celebrate his anniversary with (M/N).
He arrived to the gate of the school after the extra practice, happy to see (M/N) standing there. "(M/N)!" He yelled, running over to him and tackling him in a hug. "We won!"

"That's great Tadashi," (M/N) replied, hugging him back. He cracked a smile, but Yamaguchi could see through it; he was exhausted. The way he rubbed his eyes as they pulled apart was enough evidence. "How about we get some food to celebrate? You can even ask for the extra soft and floppy fries."

"Y-Yeah, that sounds great," Tadashi chuckled. "But are you sure you don't want me to run inside and grab the food? You look tired.."

"Nonsense. I'm treating you today," (M/N) hushed Tadashi, pressing a quick and gentle kiss to the boy's lips. They walked to Tadashi's favorite fast food restaurant and went inside, standing at the counter to order. (M/N) kept his arm around Tadashi's waist, leaning his head atop his boyfriend's. "When we get home, do you wanna watch a movie?"

"Ooh, that sounds great!" Tadashi exclaimed, grinning widely. (M/N) smiled and kissed his temple. The person in front of them finished ordering, so they went next. They ordered their food - plus some chocolate chip cookies and sodas - and moved to the side.
After (M/N) paid for their food and took it from the worker, the couple walked to his house. They headed up to his bedroom, since his parents were home, and sat on his bed. "So, what movie do you wanna watch?" Tadashi asked as he pulled the food out, laying their meals out on paper plates he had grabbed from the kitchen. They decided on (insert movie) and started watching it, eating while doing so. Somewhere along the line, after they had finished their food, they laid down and cuddled as they continued to watch it. "(M/N)?" Tadashi whispered. "I.. I love you.."

It was the first time Yamaguchi had ever said those words. He had been scared to, but he managed to do it. But when he didn't get a response, he looked up. And he was disappointed to see that (M/N) had fallen asleep, nose buried in Tadashi's hair.
Tadashi sighed and stood up, turning the TV off. He laid back down, wrapped his arms around (M/N)'s torso, and hid his face in his chest.

'His stupid insomnia.. he can't even control it, so I shouldn't be mad.. but it's not fair,' Tadashi thought. Before he knew it, tears were welling up in his eyes. 'It's not fair..! To either of us! He can't catch a break! And I.. I just told him I love him and he wasn't even able to hear it!'

(M/N) groaned as he slowly awoke, rubbing his eyes. However, he was caught off guard when he felt something wet press against his chest. He looked down, eyes growing wide. "Tada?" He whispered to Tadashi. He pulled back, tilting the freckled teen's head up. "Oh my god, are you crying? No no no, what's wrong? I'm so sorry, I fell asleep-"

"That's what's wrong..."
He looked down at Tadashi, who then sat up and wiped his tears. "I.. you fell asleep before I could say what I wanted to say. Now I s-seem like a big baby," he muttered, looking away.

(M/N) cupped his cheeks, using his thumbs to wipe away the tear tracks. "Well what did you want to say? You have all my attention now. I won't sleep for a million years if you need to tell me something."

Tadashi stared up at (M/N), blinking a few times. Then, he blushed and cast his gaze downward. "I said I love you," he whispered. (M/N)'s hold on his face nearly faltered. "It's probably too early to say that b-but-"

He was cut off by (M/N)'s lips meeting his, the taste of salty fries still lingering. Yamaguchi's eyes widened, and he slowly kissed back. When they pulled apart, he sniffled. (M/N) pressed their foreheads together, murmuring, "I love you too Tadashi. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to fall asleep."
He pulled away and grabbed his phone, opening the music app. "Just.. listen to this, okay? I made it for you."

Tadashi nodded, and (M/N) pressed the play button. He tugged the freckled teen toward him, laying down. Tadashi laid his head on his chest, their hands interlocking. They sat there for hours, listening to the music that (M/N) had pulled together.
When the playlist finished, Tadashi's cheeks were warm. He smiled, sitting up. "That was.. beautiful (M/N)," he said. "Thank you so much. That might the best anniversary gift ever - and it's only our half year!"

(M/N) sat up and laughed. "Well, expect many more anniversaries to come my dear," he said. He kissed Tadashi's cheeks, right where his freckles were. Then, he took his hand. "And.. I really am sorry about falling asleep earlier. I'll see if I can buy some melatonin gummies, okay? I heard those help with insomnia," he apologized once again, kissing his boyfriend's knuckles.

"That'd be nice," Tadashi giggled. He crawled on to (M/N), hugging him like a koala. "Now, can we finish that movie we were watching?"

"Sure thing babe. And maybe a movie marathon after?"

"It's nearly 2 AM! (M/NNN)!"

"Okay, okay, I'm just playing around!"
