[Yamaguchi's spreading grin freezes a bit immediately after that slips out—honestly, he's not sure how much he can say, without compromising his or Tsukishima's identities to Sakeguchi. Or their allegiance, which doesn't seem like appropriate first- (or any-) date material....
Then again, neither of their jobs under Karasuno is exactly a secret, as far as the public's concerned. And Sakeguchi already knows Yamaguchi by name. 'Tsukki,' meanwhile, is a nickname; and even if Sakeguchi did know Tsukishima's real name and profession...why would he assume anything shady? Tsukishima's a doctor, and he runs a clinic. Yamaguchi doesn't completely have to lie about his friend if he's careful not to give away any details.]
He's...um...my best friend, like you said! We hang out all the time. [Not that either of them has much free time to speak of, these days, but it's still not an uncommon sight to find Yamaguchi hovering over Tsukishima's shoulder like a friendly remora.]
