osamu doesn't notice him until the train clears out of people and he sits down as he still has a couple stops to go. oh.
keiji is directly across from him, book in hand, but those blue eyes meet grey.
they hadn't really spoken since their break up from a year ago.
it wasn't messy or dramatic, just… osamu's jealousy got a hold of him and spilled over. he's not /that/ kind of guy, but turns out he can be when keiji's closest friends are bokuto and kuroo.
it doesn't really concern him whatever they did before osamu started dating keiji, however they were still a little too flirty and clingy for osamu's liking.
snarky comments led to an argument and osamu didn't have time to beg for his boyfriend's attention.
he had a rapidly growing business to run and he could pass on the high school drama. so he made the decision for keiji.
that didn't mean he stopped thinking about keiji… or yearning for him… or loving him. that was especially apparent as his heart leaped into his throat upon eye contact.
keiji was calm and collected as always, but neither were going to say anything or make the first move. was there a move to make? it was probably just some coincidence.
osamu moved to tokyo about two months ago, intending on looking over the restaurant in shinjuku.
he didn't know keiji rode the same train line.
soon enough his stop came and he left. a question lingering on if he'd see keiji again….
… and well. he did. a couple days later in fact.
he wasn't /actively/ looking for keiji, but they did seem to find each other on the train. osamu pushing through to reach keiji.
again, no words were exchanged but not like keiji moved away. what were they doing?
it happens a few more times… feels like a game. will keiji be on this train? who is chasing who this time? who is gonna break?
osamu is a strong and stubborn man, but he's a loverboy at heart. a quiet romantic.
he doesn't have to go in tomorrow, being his own boss and all. keiji usually had the weekends off too.
and while keiji isn't quite the same brand of stubborn…. he preferred when osamu initiated. took the lead. told keiji what to do.
he could have skipped this train if he wanted, avoided osamu entirely. but he keeps coming back.
it's when they're nearly alone again, few chairs taken up. keiji has a new book in hand. he feels osamu's gaze on him.
"Depends on what you're offering."
"Yer pretty ass in my bed, we can deal with the talkin' later."
his stop is coming up, keiji has about five minutes to shut him down. end this whole game.
he doesn't hesitate to put his book away into his bag, osamu doesn't hide his victorious smile.
"It'll be different this time."
osamu wasn't thinking about the long term, he just missed having keiji in his arms. and what they used to have.
"You'll just have to trust me, but… I've missed you, Osamu."
the train reaches the station and they both stand, osamu reaches for keiji's hand and they leave together. osamu seriously meant they could talk later because he knew once they were at his apartment…
… he'd want nothing more than to feel keiji around him again.
but their… reconciliation can wait for the morning after… feelings that never quite faded, tension that's weighed down on them both.
osamu never fell out of love, keiji was always someone he held dear to him. and he'd trust keiji in the promises that he made.
no one would get in the way this time. osamu was his top priority.
