I sigh. I'm not use to Daichi being so…..I don't know. Mean, kind of depressed, pushing me away. I almost regret him taking this job as a sales person for office furniture. It's more than just that though. He also has to sale printers and other office things I know nothing about. I'm sitting with Kuroo and Kageyama for drinks. Once I graduated, I got close to Kuroo. Kageyama and I became friends through his dating Hinata. He is still gets fluster whenever we discuss his relationship. It's hilarious.
"Why the long face?" asks Kuroo.
"Oh just Daichi," I reply. "It's been….stressful lately." Kageyama nods in agreement.
"I don't blame him," states Kageyama. "Our job is very stressful."
"Well I would expect it to be stressful for you," I reply. "You hate talking to people. Daichi doesn't mind talking to people and explaining details."
"Sadly, that doesn't always make sales," huffs Kageyama before sipping his beer. "It's a whole lot of ass kissing but damnit the pay is on point."
"Has to be if you're still working there," says Kuroo. "Are you still going to try out for the Olympic team?"
"Of course," says Kageyama. "I wanted years for this. Hinata is going to try out too."
"That's great," I reply glad to talk about something nice.
"Yeah," says Kageyama. "Since he works late tonight that is the only reason I'm not practicing and having a beer with you guys." Kageyama glances at me. "I hope for your sake Daichi is off soon, but he has a really important client he is trying to sale."
"Oh….." I reply.
"You know….." says Kuroo. "Whenever I get stressed out my girlfriend takes me on a getaway." He starts smirking.
"Um okay," says Kageyama. "That sounds nice and all but a getaway? Doesn't sound special to me. Like are you going to the spa or something?"
"Sometimes…." grins Kuroo. "We mostly fuck." Kageyama begins to blush hard as my face drops. Kuroo begins to laugh hard. "You should see your faces!"
"Screw that!" hisses Kageyama looking around. "What the hell is wrong with you? People could hear you."
"I don't care," says Kuroo. "I mean seriously. If you guys are ever stressed out, you should try it. I usually like to go for 4 days but I can settle for 3." Kageyama runs his hand over his face as I flag down a server ordering another round of drinks for everyone.
"It can't seriously make that much of a difference," I reply. "I mean….I don't know….."
"It makes a huge difference," states Kuroo. "Like I bet you haven't had any in over a week." He is right. It is hard for Daichi to get in the mood when he is unhappy but isn't that how it is for most people? "Your face says everything. You should do this for Daichi, and his battery will be reset. If you see him getting to the point he is now, schedule a sex trip. It will make your life much easier."
"What?" questions Kageyama. He clicks his tongue. "Only you would think of some shit like this."
"Actually, I got it from my parents," says Kuroo. "They go away 4 times a year. I loved that in high school because….well you know." He begins to laugh as Kageyama and I look at him like he is crazy. Kageyama rolls his eyes.
"How do you know that is what they were doing?" I ask curiously.
"Oh come on," drones Kuroo. "I wasn't stupid. They would be desperate to leave and would come back with wide grins on their face. Like I could total the car and they wouldn't care kind of grins. Once I started having sex, I knew what those grins were." I shake my head at him. We chat a bit more before I wrap things up. I get to my car and get a text from Daichi.
Daichi: Almost done with this client and I will be home. Can you pick me up something to eat?
I already know what he wants. When Daichi is stressed he likes the expensive sushi. I call to place his order before picking it up. Which is a hassle by the way. It's located in the busy part of downtown but if I can provide him a small piece of mind I will do so. I get to the apartment getting his food set up on the dining table before hopping into the shower. By the time I get out I can hear Daichi in the dining room. I proceed in lotion up my body before heading out there. I walk over wrapping my arms around his neck before kissing his cheek. Daichi shrugs me off hurting my feelings. I sit down in the chair across from him.
"How did things go?" I ask. "Did you get the account?"
"I did," says Daichi. "I also got a referral for us."
"That's great!" I exclaim. "Why aren't you happy?"
"Because I had to work this guy over for two weeks to close this," says Daichi. "God forbid if the referral is the same way. He was an ignorant asshole. Like he wasn't looking for function or considering the space. He just ugh…..it's hard to explain."
"I'm sorry baby," I reply softly. "Maybe I can give you a massage tonight."
"No," he replies coldly.
"Did you need something else?" I ask. I'm really hinting does he need me to pleasure him without saying it. I mean maybe Kuroo is on to something here.
"No," says Daichi staring down at his meal.
"Are you sure?" I asked. "I mean you haven't touched me in over 2 weeks?"
"So your horny basically," says Daichi.
"Well yes but I always want you to be happy!" I exclaim. I didn't like how he was trying to make this about me.
"I'm not happy damnit!" he shouts. "Can I eat in fucking peace please." I get up from the table stomping anyway slamming the bedroom door. Why won't he let me fucking help him. I sit down on my bed grabbing my computer. You know what, I'm booking us a getaway. It will only be 3 days as it is a 3 day weekend coming up at the end of this month. It's a last minute thing and will probably cost more but I don't give a shit right now. I look over the hotels, resorts, and somehow that doesn't feel good enough. I locate a townhouse that is close to the beach. It has a pool, Jacuzzi, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen and living room. This is perfect! I go ahead and get the house booked. I'm not telling Daichi because he will just argue with me that he needs to keep his schedule clear for work. His job can kiss my entire ass at this point. Daichi finally comes into the room. I cut my eyes at him before focusing back on my computer.
"Look Sugawara," he sighs. "I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you."
"You never do," I reply. "Why don't you look for another job?"
"I have tried but there is nothing!" he replies. "I even tried looking for other positions within the company and there isn't shit." I feel like every time I try to offer anything to make things better it just pisses him off. "I'm going to shower." Daichi disappears into the bathroom and I sigh. Damnit this trip better work.
