Summary
Noya admires forwardness, and confidence, and strength, and is also maybe the slightest bit dense. And if Asahi wants, he has to ask for it. And he wants. He really, really does.
Asahi stretches his arms. Breathes in and out once through the chest. Lets his impending graduation, his upcoming serious internship, his rocky and terrifying job opportunities, all of it, wash over him and feel absolutely terrifying and overwhelming and big, for a moment. Even with all of this, he wants. He’s certain Nishinoya Yuu is what makes this picture better.
And, God help him, he’s come to think that Noya feels the same.
The get-together precursor to going on a trip to Egypt. On pining, loving so so much, and making it work.

Summary
Noya makes grabby hands in Asahi’s direction. “Nuh uh, no backing out now. You can’t talk yourself out of giving it to me right in front of me, Asahi, c’mon.”
Asahi relinquishes the box.
The ribbon is shiny and soft but Noya’s patience has never been a virtue of his; he yanks the ribbon off and flings the lid open. Inside, nestled in a soft bed of black fabric, is a shiny gold key. There’s a tag attached to it. Noya lifts it up.
The tag spells out Asahi’s full name in Asahi’s neat, blocky handwriting, and there's a little doodle of a house right next to it. Noya has to catch his breath. “Is this - are you giving me a key to your house?”
Noya meets Asahi's family, looks the future right in the eye, and totally for sure has this whole relationship thing down. Right? Right. No problem. (Another step towards a future trip to Egypt.)
