TRIP NIGHT ONE

I have Daichi and I bags packed. I'm just waiting for him to arrive home. I packed some cute lingerie, oils, handcuffs, toys, and other things I think I might need. Damnit we are going to make this work. I'm nervous but excited at the same time. My phone rings causing me to look down and I see it is Daichi.

"Hello," I greet.

"What's this nonsense that I can't work late tonight?" asks Daichi. "I see my calendar is blocked off for this evening and the next 3 days." Daichi uses his calendar fatefully. It helps him a lot at his job. I didn't think he would call me with an attitude about it.

"Yes," I replied. "We are going on a trip. It was a surprise for you. I already took care of everything."

"You didn't discuss this with me?" says Daichi.

"I wanted it to be a surprise," I reply appalled. "I'm doing this for you, for us." Daichi sighs.

"Whatever," he mutters. "I will be home late."

"You can't!" I exclaim. "We need to be there by 6pm to pick up the keys."

"This is why you should have told me about this," snaps Daichi.

"You usually get off early the day before a holiday," I whimper. "I don't appreciate the fucking attitude. I'm trying to do something nice."

"Whatever," says Daichi. I feel my patience inside just snap.

"Don't whatever me!" I exclaim gripping the phone hard. "Daichi you better be here within the next hour or else."

"Or else what?" he asks.

"Just do it!" I scream into the phone before hanging up. I'm so mad I'm shaking. I would leave without him because otherwise the money would go to waste. This whole plan would go to waste. This the worst argument we have had in a while. I usually don't yell at him but in this case, it was needed. I'm trying to do something for him and he yells at me for it. I don't think so Daichi. I plop down on the sofa crossing my legs using my phone to surf the internet since my laptop is packed up. Forty minutes later Daichi is walking through the front door. I stand up. "Thank you."

"Whose car are we taking?" he asks. "Although I think we should take yours. You should do the driving since this was your idea." God he is being petty. Daichi usually does the driving.

"Fine," I reply. "Can you please help me carry the bags to my car?" He doesn't say anything and just starts grabbing the bags. I roll my eyes grabbing my own bags trying to remind myself why we are doing this. We get everything loaded in my car. I get comfortable behind the wheel of my car turning on some music. Daichi is staring out the window. "Did you have a good day at work?"

"No," he replies. Good lord, he is in one of those moods. When he gives me a one word answer that means he is one step away from shutting down. I'm not going to allow this to mess up our weekend. I head out on to the main road wondering how long will it really take to get there. According to google maps it is only 2 hours away. I let the music take me away and we get there in a good time span. Thankfully we didn't hit any traffic along the way. We just barely made 6pm. I'm running towards the owners.

"Thank you so much," I tell them. They are an older couple who clearly is retired.

"You're welcome," replied the gentlemen. "Just treat this as your own home."

"I certainly will," I reply bowing before they make their exit. I head back to the car as Daichi stares at the building in shock.

"Sugawara…." he says slowly. "This is…..too much."

"It's great," I reply grabbing my bag. "Let's get going because I'm starving. Did you want to eat in or eat out?"

"I want to eat in," mumbles Daichi. "I'm not in the mood to be around people or whatever." Well thank god I got this townhouse instead of the hotel. I didn't know he would be so down in the dumps. I head up the three small steps unlocking the door. We head inside and I'm shocked at what I see. For a house that is close to the beach the place is completely modern.

The kitchen is to die for with white cabinets but dark tan marble counter tops, stainless steel applicants. The living room has crème colored sofa with white color furniture. God forbid if someone with kids come here. The TV in the front room is a nice 55 inch. I head up the stairs to the right. The main master bedroom is at the back. This room is more beautiful in person. A four post bed with curtains to help make everything look more romantic. The furniture here is black brown but the bed has all white bedding. Lots of photos on the wall to remind us that we are at the beach. I hear Daichi come into the room behind me. "This is nice….."

"Thanks," I reply. "I really like this place. It looks much better in person compared to what I saw online." Daichi is looking a little depressed. "Hey if you want to stay in every night, we can do that. I just want you to relax babe. You have been way too stressed." Daichi runs his hands through his hair.

"Yeah….." he says. "I'm going to look for something for us to order." I just nod before walking out of the room. I don't know what to do because he does seem a little better but not much. I explore the rest of the house finally heading to the back with the private pool and hot tub. This is going to look so good at night. I head back in seeing that Daichi ordered a pizza, nothing special. He wasn't even wanting to drive and pick anything up.

We don't really speak that evening as he is not in the mood. He goes to bed right after he finishes eating. I grab my phone heading downstairs to call Kuroo. I'm so glad when he answers.

"Hey," he greets.

"Kuroo," I reply. "Um I need your advice. You can't tell anyone though! This stays between us!" I like Kuroo and all, but he can be really chatty.

"Alright then," he replies. "I won't repeat anything that is said. What's going on?"

"I took that trip with Daichi," I reply slowly. "The one you recommended…"

"For real!" he exclaims. I would be laughing at his excitement if I wasn't so worried about Daichi.

"Yeah," I sigh.

"Why are you sighing?" he asked. "What's wrong?"

"He seems like he doesn't want to be here," I explain. "I don't know what to do."

"How can he not be excited about this?" asked Kuroo.

"I don't fucking know," I pout. "I kind of surprised him with it. Even after seeing the place he is still not into it. Like he is asleep right now."

"Really?" says Kuroo. "I would so be getting it in right now." I bite my lip because I really want that too. "I'll take that silence that you want to."

"Of course, I do," I growled. "I haven't had any in 6 weeks."

"You have got to be kidding…." says Kuroo. "I wouldn't have made it a week, Jesus. What is his problem?"

"He just shuts down when he is stressed out," I explained. "Sadly, that includes shutting me out."

"That's not healthy," says Kuroo. "I think he needs to look for a new job."

"I agree," I reply. "This job is spilling into every corner of his life. I don't know what to do to get the ball rolling."

"Ahhh this is where I come in," states Kuroo.

"Naturally," I drone. "Got any ideas? I mean I have brought toys, oils, cuffs you name it."

"How does he feel about when you take charge?" asks Kuroo.

"It can be a hit or miss," I shrug although he can't see me. I walk towards the doors looking out at the pool.

"Get him to the point where he can't say no," says Kuroo. "If there is anything, he likes than do that until he breaks." Kuroo has a good point.

"Alright…" I say.

"You have an idea," says Kuroo. "Mind if I ask what it is?"

"Yes I do something in mind," I reply. "You don't need to know what." Kuroo laughs.

"Whelp my job here is done," he replies. "I recommend you cuff his ass. From what you told me he can he wish washy or whatever."

"That's not too cruel is it?" I asked.

"Just cuff one hand," suggest Kuroo. "Drives me fucking nuts when my girl does that."

"Why am I not surprised you are a little freak," I state walking into the kitchen to fix some water.

"Because I don't hide who I am," laughs Kuroo. "Look I have to go but if you need any further advice, let me know."

"Thanks," I reply ending the call. Cuffing one hand? I'm not sure how that will work but it does sound very sexy I must admit. I sit down in front of the TV ready for a distraction until it is show time. By the time I'm ready to make my move Daichi is fast asleep. I cut off the lights before removing my clothes. I grab the fur handcuffs from my bag along with the key. I walk over moving the curtains tilting the blinds so just enough light enters the room. I can't believe I'm doing this.
