[While Shouyou wouldn't mind another kiss, Tsukishima isn't pulling his hand away, and that's enough for now. Just hours ago, he wouldn't have thought this would be possible either. Besides, they have the house to themselves for a while; they have time to savor the simple act of touching each other.]
Is it because you didn't think I liked you back? Or... [He hesitates, then says softly--] ...because you didn't want it to be me?
[Shouyou's not stupid. It had taken him some time to accept his feelings for Tsukishima. And Tsukishima had known his own feelings for even longer than that. There are a few conclusions he can draw from that alone.]
[It's just a handful of words, but they explain so much of Tsukishima's personality that Shouyou's mouth just about drops open.]
Yeah... it hurts when you think you can't have it, right? When you want something that badly.
[He gets it. He does. Recently, he'd thought there were two things out of his reach: volleyball and Tsukishima, whether from the doubt of other people, or from a perceived impossibility. And yet, here he is, with one of them close enough to touch.
Shouyou shivers as Tsukishima's hand moves, holding still and letting him explore as he likes.]

It's - Wanting things - It's hard.
[Especially something like this. Because then you have to say it, for anything to happen.
And what if it doesn't.
Slowly, Tsukki slides his hand up. Mapping the slope of Hinata's chest. Shoulder. Curving up to the side of his neck. Where the same pulse flickers.]

Slow.
Careful.
Trying to fill that space. To believe it can happen. Is happening.]
