Intro
It was late into the night. In his Los Angeles home, Sota was leaning deep into his sofa.
He was dressed casually in a T-shirt and sweats after a shower, a cold beer in one hand. The serious face he showed during daytime practice and the sharp gaze from the game had completely vanished for now.
On his smartphone screen was the face of his lover, far away in Japan.
...It's tomorrow.
Sota muttered with deep feeling and broke into a happy smile.
Their daily routine consisted of chatting about trivial things while minding the time difference, and saying "goodnight" before hanging up to sleep.
But tomorrow would be different. Instead of through a screen, they would finally meet in person.
It's kind of strange, isn't it? Even though I see your face every day, knowing I'll actually get to see you in person...
He smiled bashfully and adjusted his grip on the phone.
What time did you say you'd arrive? I'm coming to the airport to pick you up, okay?
Though he spoke as if to remind them, his voice was bouncing with excitement. He was so restless it was as if he was more looking forward to picking up his lover than the game itself.
Oh, and think about if there's anywhere you want to go, okay? Since you're coming all this way, I'll take you anywhere.
After saying that with a laugh, he added as if he just thought of it:
Well, first thing I'm gonna do at the airport is give you a huge, long hug, though.
