・❥・Bokotu Kōtarō・❥・

You and Bokuto are early to arriving at the beach, being the first one's there. Both of you wanted to stake out the best spot so you could set up the volleyball net. Bokuto was very insistent on it being in the perfect spot, making sure it far enough from the water and designated the seating area of the group. His focus about the whole thing made you laugh, you had never seen him so serious before. The guy even brought a rake to keep the area clean of anything that could injure anyone.

Once everyone arrives and unpacks their belongings, he’s eager to start a game. He chooses you as his partner and you are ecstatic. Together you dominate the sandy court with a mix of your amazing serves and his powerful spikes. After every point made, Bokuto can’t help but cheer loudly in triumph. His excitement rubbing off on others, making everyone smile.

After claiming victory, Bokuto pulls you up onto his shoulders, parading around the beach while chanting, “We are the champions!” His enthusiasm so infectious that onlookers start to clap and cheer for you.

Not surprisingly, Bokuto still has a lot of energy after the intense game so he suggests going swimming. He races you to the water; he lets you get ahead, and before you know it, you're swept off your feet and gently tackled into the waves. You laugh as you splash each other playfully. He challenges you to various water games, like who can hold their breath the longest or swim the fastest. Despite his competitive nature, he has very good sportsmanship. He will always cheer for you, regardless of who wins.

After playing in the water, you decide you want to relax and tan, while Bokuto gets in another game of volleyball. With every move he makes, his chiseled muscles glisten in the sun. You'd watch him play all day if you could.

After his match, he joins you on a beach blanket, taking a break to enjoy some fruit and cold drinks. The small talk between the both of you is enjoyable, talking about anything and everything you could think of.

As the sunset approaches, all the boys take initiative to get the bonfire going. Each person takes a seat on the logs surrounding the fire, taking turns roasting hot dogs and marshmallows, sharing funny stories about each other. Bokuto's laughter was joyful and loud, you couldn't help but smile at the sound.

When stars began to show up in the night sky, Bokuto and you excuse yourselves to take a walk down the beach. He reaches over and intertwines his fingers with yours, “I’ve had such an amazing time with you, today. You make everything so much more fun.. and I, um,” he pauses, his hand squeezes yours, “… I think I’m falling for you.” “I think I am too, Kou,” you give him a firm kiss, more than a peck but not too intense.

After his confession, you both head back to your spot and lay down on a blanket, gazing up at the stars. He pulls you closer to him, releasing a sigh of contentment. He couldn’t be happier to be surrounded by you and his friends on this wonderful, beachy day.

・❥・Kuroo Tetsurō ・❥・

When you get to the beach, Kuroo is eager and extremely prepared to get everything set up. He’s got a big canopy to sit under, a foldable table for the food, those reclining camping chairs, he’s got everything. Kuroo even brought multiple outdoor games like badminton, ladder ball, spikeball, and cornhole. He is prepared.

This man is so ready for the beach that he even brought water balloons. You didn’t even see him packing them so you were surprised when he pulled out a cooler full of them. “No, you didn’t,” you smiled as you started to grab some and back away. “Yes, I did.” He and you ran around the beach laughing, trying your best to hit each other with the colorful balloons.

After you won the war, you both sat at the table under the canopy, fixing up a plate of premade sandwiches and snacks. As you ate, you two discussed what your plans after eating were, with random conversation mixed in.

Kuroo suggests going for a walk along the shore to collect seashells. You each find some unique shells but the majority are common. Kuroo playfully pretends to find a super unique one, only to reveal another one of the common shells. You roll your eyes but still laugh at his antics.

Later, you go and swim by yourself to cool off, while Kuroo prepares to prank you. He digs a shallow hole in the sand, covering it with a towel. He lures you over, suggesting to sit with him. When you step on the towel, you sink into the hole as Kuroo laughs. He quickly gets up to help you out and apologizes, a mischievous smile on his face.

When sunset comes, Kuroo is already on top of making the fire. You expected to have to scavenge the beach for wood but, again, that man is prepared. He brought a whole case of those premade firelogs so you wouldn’t have to worry.

Kuroo looks at you, his usual playful demeanor turning serious, his features softly lit by the fire. He takes your hand with his, “Y/N, I know I joke a lot, but I want you to know I really care about you. Today was amazing because I got to share the day with you.” He hesitates a moment before leaning over to give you a soft kiss

Night arrives with beautiful stars shining in the sky. You and Kuroo lie on a blanket, gazing up at the stars. Kuroo points at various star clusters, naming them and sharing facts about each one. His passion and knowledge for the subject captivated you. You admired the smarty-pants side of his personality.

So I've heard the audio and....

When they leave you on your wedding day (Sakusa, Bokuto)

Genre: angst

Word count: 1.7K

masterlist

Sakusa’s will make more sense if you read this you don’t have too but it’ll help.

Sakusa:

“Y/N,” you hear knocks on the door outside your dressing room “I-I need to talk to you.”    

“But Omi, a groom must never see their bride until they meet at the alter,” you say behind the door.

“I-It’s important, and I must tell you right now.” he says a bit more intensely

“Okay, Okay... you can come in but im hiding in the closet since my dress is already on.”

“Ok.”

You hear the door open and shut, and a lot of pacing around of what you can presume was his fresh wedding shoes trotting against the hard wood floors.

“Omi,” you call wondering why he hasn’t spoken yet “Is everything okay?”

“Umm yes I-it's fine...it just I-” he says pausing

“Just what?”

“I don’t really know how to say this Y/N, I don’t really know how to say it’s just-” he says again pausing himself taking a deep breath.

“Just what Omi? Don’t tell me you’ve got cold feet love,” you say laughing at the thought of it, but your laughter ceased when you don’t hear the ‘Of course I don’t have cold feet Y/N’ that you were expecting.

“Omi?” you asked again, hoping he had he was still going to give you the response you wanted.

“Omi..” you repeated.

“Omi!” you say finally, now exiting the room (with your wedding dress on) to see why your fiance was not responding.  

To your shock, Omi was sitting down on a couch with his face in his hands with soft sobs coming from his mouth and runny tears and snot coming from his eyes and nose. “Omi whats wrong?” you say loudly, alerting him,

“Y/N you look beautiful!” he says sniffling.

“Omi you were meant to say that at the alter, but now that your crying forget about the dress... what’s wrong?” you say sitting down next to him.

“I don’t know how to say this...” he starts, looking away from you  

“Say what? Omi look at me...” you say feeling anxious  

“We...We can’t get married today,” he says still with his eyes off you.

“What do you mean, we can’t get married.” you ask but you get no answer,

“Omi answer me,”

“Say something please!” you say turning his body so that he’s facing you, his eyes are all puffy and bloodshot from the crying and now tears are filling yours “What do you mean Omi,”

“Remember Ex’s name?” he says confusing you cause what did she have to do with anything.

“Yes I remember her, I remember vividly being the girl you cheated on her with after you claimed you were ‘breaking up with her’ so I had to tell her.” you scoff “so yes, I definitely remember Y/N, what about her?”

“We recently umm how can I say this,” he says struggling for words “reconnected... and I do truly miss her and she’s made me rethink some things, see some things...”

“And those things are?”

“I’ve always loved her, she’s always been my one. The one.” he says smiling a bit at the thought of her making you feel sick.

“But Omi what about us? What about the wedding that’s going to happen in less than an hour?”

“Im sorry Y/N I’ll tell everyone what has happened.”

“I don’t want you to do that, I want you to marry me.” you say desparetly “please Omi, why her? Why now..”

“It’s always been her, and you’ve known that.” he says standing up “The day you told her about our ONE NIGHT stand, was the day that I thought I couldn’t live on, but when you came and accepted the pathetic mess I was, I gladly dated you since I had nothing else to loose...but its been 4 years since then I'm a changed man and EX NAME is a changed girl, a forgiving girl and the spark we had wasn’t lost I guess...and Im happy now”

“But what about me?” you say crying “What about me? And my happiness, don’t I deserve that? Don’t I deserve to finally be happy.”  

“Y/N, you do deserve to be happy. But not with me, not at the stake of my own happiness, I wont allow it.”

“Omi bu-”

“God Y/N, don’t be so desperate!” he said agressively “Im sorry for stopping the wedding, I know your parents have put in alot of money in it and I will certainly pay them back... in due time of course.”

“You’re sorry for stopping the wedding?” you say angrily “Not sorry for stopping this relationship. Stopping the longlasting feelings ive felt for you since the day I met you?”

“Cut the crap Y/N, all we did was have one night stand.” he says rolling his eyes and unbuttoning his top botton of his shirt and loosening his tie I dont know why but this Is what guys do when theyre mad in the movies.

“Your such a liar Omi, you used to come into my work place everyday flirting with me talking about how much you wanted me, PINING AFTER ME, making me fall in love with you and not even telling me you had a girlfriend at the time.” you yell “and you summarise that all to me falling in love with you after one measly one night stand.”

“I don’t want to do this Y/N,” he says heading to the door “We’re finished. No more wedding. No marriage. And definitely don’t contact me after this. We’re through.” he slams the door behind him, leaving you alone and jilted in your wedding dress.

You get why he broke it off with you, and technically you do play a small part to blame. You were the one that told his girlfriend that you slept with him and then dated him afterwards, so I guess ‘how you get them, is how you lose them’ definitely works in this case.

Bokuto

The bokuto and L/N wedding was going to be a joyous occasion. Your soon to be husband told everybody he saw that he were to be wed with you, he couldn’t contain his excitement.

“Bokuto calm down, we’ll be married soon.” was what you always said, whenever he started his rambles to which he always replied “I know Y/N, I cant wait.”

When it came to your grand day, you were excited from the moment you woke up you were buzzing, wondering if Bokuto was feeling even a half of the feelings that you felt.  

You looked beautiful in your dress, anticipating the look on Bokuto’s face when he sees you at that alter. Your wedding party was already at the hotel you were getting married at whilst Bokuto’s got ready at the houe and decided to drive there.

So after you got ready, all you had to do is wait for Kuroo, one of Bokuto’s best men, to tell you when it’s time for you to walk down the aisle.  

You were impatient, your leg was shaking now you knew how Bokuto felt when he rambled on how excited he was for you to become Bokuto Y/N. You finally heard a knock on the door and you dashed to open it,

“Kuroo, thank god you’re here!” you exclaim giving him a hug “I’ve been waiting ages for you, lets go! Take me to my future husband.” You pull his arm practically trying to run and see your man before Kuroo pulls your arm halting you.

“Y/N...” he says shifting his eye sight from left to right “I think we should sit down for a minute.”

“Why? Is he not here yet, gosh he’s always been late to things” you joke “but fine we can sit for a minute or two.”

As you sat, Kuroo turns his body to you putting his hands on your knees with his eyes looking sad “Y/N. I don’t know how to say this but...” he gulps putting his head down “there’s been an accident.”

“Accident? What do you mean accident? What happened? Is everyone okay.” you ask a bit frantically, since it would sad for someone to be hurt on your wedding day.

“That’s the thing Y/N, Bokuto he..”  

“Bokuto what? He’s okay.. Right?” you ask staring at Kuroo “He’s fine right?”

“No he isnt,” he says

“What do you mean he isn’t what happened, where is he? I need to see him.” you say getting up before Kuroo pulls you back down.

“He isn’t anywhere... well anywhere for you to see him. There weren’t enough cars for us, well there were but one of them the engine wasn’t starting and it sound a bit dodgy. But Bokuto said, he insisted for us all to be there. I even offered to let him take my spot in the other cars, I did Y/N I really did, but he promised us that he’d be fine. He left a bit before he did, saying that if he had chance to wander around the hotel it may calm his nerves. But when we were driving, we saw this car all mangled up on the side of the road, it was his. I told him not to drive that car, I told him and he did and I-” he rambled with tears pooling in his eyes “Im sorry Y/N im really sorry.”

“But why why didn’t you call?”

“He told us not too, he said that he wanted you be to as happy as you could be on this day as he knew it wouldn’t end with you becoming his wife.”

“But the ambulance, you called an ambulance right?”

“He was D.O.A, Akaashi went with him since he knew that he probably wouldn’t be able to deliver the news to you.”

“Why? Why did he leave me? On our wedding day, it was supposed to be our day and now hes gone Kuroo hes gone.” you wail, but kuroo wraps his arms around you in a brotherly hug as he cries too.  

That’s how you spend your wedding night, crying in your friends arms over the loss of your ‘husband’ and his ‘brother.’

Bokuto’s funeral was the week after, and it was not an event you were excited for. It was a hard day to get through, but you did it with the help of Kuroo and Akaashi. You visit Bokuto every year on your wedding anniversary talking to your husband even though it always reminds you of the day that never came to be.

This is the wedding angst that is a gift from me to you sweetheart @teesumu you can totally block me after this cause girll I cried whilst writing it.

"Never Enough Time"

Kenma x GN!Reader angst

TW: amnesia, drugs and alcohol mention, cursing, fighting, hospital mention, drunk driving, mentions of cheating

Time

Kenma was never one for people. It's not that he hated them, it's just sometimes they were overwhelming. They come and go, so often that he just stopped bothering to remember them and sort of just let them be.

Everyone except for Kuroo and someone named Y/N yet he wasn't sure why they stuck around for so long.

Kenma wasnt that understanding of why they never seemed to leave. Though he didn't mind, he was positive they would sooner or later. And yet that factor, It also scared him.

He could never remember the faces of those who left but he knew. He knew from the emptiness inside. It was terrifying knowing that everytime they came around he felt so much better.

"Hey Kenma, how you feeling?" There they were again. Y/N having entered his room followed by his supposed childhood friend Kuroo.

"You always ask me that" Kenma replied with a frown. He could never remember there faces, only there voice. When he tried, all he got was a blurred image of a poor attempt to imagine your features.

"And every single time, you say your fine" You replied with a quietly chuckle to his nonchalant tone. You appeared to be pretty used to his antics after all.

"Thats because I am" He grumbled, crossing his legs, listening to the beeps of hospital machines. Kenma had long forgotten the time that had passed since he had been in here.

Told that apparently he had gotten into a car accident, damaging a part of his brain that allowed him to remember those in his social circle.

But apparently, the two who consistently visited were people quite close to him.

He always got the same dream every night. He supposed it was a rememberance of the accident, a memory he could recite like the back of his hand if asked to.

Place

Kenma remembers where it all started, having gotten into an argument with someone. There face was blurred, like a fog that he just couldnt seem to wipe away.

"Kenma how many times do I have to tell you! Me and tet@$#$ have nothing going on!" The blur exclaimed.

Kenma had been drunk that night, drinking as to kill the painful feeling in his chest. But it made him angry.

It made him spiteful, and now here he was arguing with this figament that he just couldnt put a face too. He swears he recognizes that voice, the name on the tip of his tongue.

"@$#@ I dont know why your acting as if you dont in fact fuck my best friend! Ive seen how you look at one another! What do you whore yourself out to the rest of my friends to?!" It was the insecurity speaking, you both knew it.

But the moment was too heated for it to be truly acknowledged that he didnt mean what he said. And he was just to out of it to comprehend the backlash and consquences soon to follow from his words.

"Kenma you dont mean that"

"But I do! You want to prove to yourself so bad that you arent some slut but you are!" Kenma argued angrily. Shoulders shaking with such intensity that he was positive you could see it.

"Get the fuck out of my house. I dont let whores sleep under my roof"

"Kenma!" The voice exclaimed with pain wrapped behind it. The use of his name made his heart pang with frustration that they just couldnt seem to get the hint.

He pointed to the door, he didnt need to see the blurred face to know there were tears streaming down. The door slammed shut, and he was left alone again. The sound of the car being heard exiting his driveway and onto miyagi streets.

Kenma scoffed, opening a drawer he swore he'd never open again, popping out a cigarette. Lighting it up with shaky fingers, to take a long drag. Slowly exhaling smoke.

The pudding head decided to go for a drive. Sober, he knows that driving in this condition is just plain stupid, and reckless. But common sense wasnt something Kenma had in this very moment.

He pulled out of the driveway, and set out on the road. He had a few things he wanted to say to his friends face for sleeping with his lover.

He didnt make it far, maybe half the distance necessary before tears began to fog his view.

The heartache setting in, before a sob rumbled from his throat. Kenma lost control and crashed.

And now here he was. He didnt know where his phone lay, the hospital saying it was apparently broken and unusable. Though now that he was pondering it, he decided to ask the two a question.

"Do you guys know why the person I argued with isnt here?" Kenma asked quietly. Wondering if maybe they may carry a different answer. Had they broken up? He doesnt remember breaking up, but there was alot of things he couldnt recall at the moment.

Though based on there expressions they knew something. Kenma felt his whole world stop when he listened to there next words.

"...Well Kenma, it was... its me. You thought tetsuro.. also known as Kuroo" He watched as you gestured to the rooster haired male. "was someone I was sleeping with and-"

"Get out" He whispered, eyes dilated with fury. They knew, YOU knew. And said nothing, despite being aware he suffered with amnesia.

"Kenma please-" You started but we're quickly cut off by him.

"Shut up and get out. You knew, and you didnt say anything" His eyes narrowed, watching the guilt flash over your features.

Getting up, his eyes watched kuroo slowly file out, holding the same guilty expression.

"Before you go, answer me this, did you really cheat on me?" He whispered meekly.

Looking into your eyes, watching as you pulled out his cracked phone. Charged and alive.

With pursed lips, you took a deep breath, and nodded. "Yes, Kozume I did." and left.

Leaving him with a broken heart, tears streaming down his cheeks as he looked down at the screenshots, proving your guilt.

[jadehqknb]

Hiiiii, so I was thinking a bad boy imagine where the reader is Kise or Kuroo's girlfriend and she's very supportive of him being in a gang and she's also very affectionate and sweet, but some of her friends warned her about him bc he's very flirty and she's very protective and jealous. So she finds him and another girl in a compromising position but it's not the case tho and so she leaves and she's rly hurt. She gets kidnapped and he saves her and plz plz plzzz happy ending?? Thank youuuu

Hello! So, since I paired up two ofthe asks that made the randomizer cut I re-randomized the remaining asks andthis one came out on top to be the last of the month! Thanks!

“You know he’s, like,always all over other girls, right?” How could she have ever defended himfrom that after seeing what she did? Her boyfriend, with her…the image wasburned into her memory, searing away the love she felt for him replacing itwith a deep-seated ache. After everything she’d done for him too! She supportedhim despite her family disowning her for aligning herself with a rival gangmember. She believed in him even though all her friends told her he was nogood, that he would break her heart because he was a flirt! She knew he wasoften sent for coercion against female members of rival gangs, his charm andgood looks breaking past any defenses they put up.

But now the same had happened to her. She’d trusted him and-

Her thoughts abruptly cut off as a searing pain shot throughher head. Blinking rapidly, the last image before her eyes were the faces ofwho she knew to be his enemies, the ones who’d sworn revenge upon him. With ashuddering sigh, she fell unconscious, morbidly thanking the gods for a quickrelease from the pain of his betrayal.

Kise thought he knew anger, butthis rage, it’s fierce enough to scare himself. Before him sits his love, theone person in the whole world who understands and loves him for everything heis. She knows his darkest secrets, his deepest fears, his heart’s desires, allof it.

And now she’s suffering because ofit.

It’s clear they’ve roughed her up,her blood-soaked shirt is evidence enough of that. But there’s something else,something deeper and more underhanded that’s happened because when her headrises and their eyes meet (one of hers swollen), there’s no expression ofgratitude, no release of breath in relief of his arrival. If anything, a lookof utter agony spills across her face.

“Just leave me Kise,” the use ofhis last name by her voice startling him, “they can’t hurt me any worse thanyou have.”

“________-cchi, what are you-“

“Don’t call me that! Don’t you evercall me that again! How could you? How could you do that, to me!” she shouts,voice echoing in the cavernous warehouse.

Around them are the bodies of herkidnappers, most unconscious but a few dead. Kuroko and Kagami blink inconfusion, both of them unsure exactly what to do. Clearly, _______ needs helpbut as Kise starts moving towards her again she screams out, “Stay the fuckaway from me!”

“Get her,” Kise grunts and Kurokomoves to her in his stead.

“Come on, ______-chan, let’s getyou out of here,” the blue haired sniper says, untying her restraints. Shefalls against him, thoroughly spent, staining his suit with blood. Kagami movesnext, leaning down and lifting her up easily.

The sight of her snuggling into thecrook of the red head’s neck makes Kise’s blood boil but there’s no time forthis right now. She needs medical attention and rest. Then, maybe, hopefully,they can work through whatever lies it is they told her to turn her againsthim.

Midorima clicks his tongue as hecleans her wounds, hooking up an IV to rehydrate her body.

“She needs rest and no furtherstrain for at least a week,” he advises when he exits her room. “Until then,Kise, I recommend you not speak with her. She was thoroughly distraught, mumblingsomething about you betraying her. If you were to try to talk to her in thisstate I fear she’ll tear the stiches and go into shock.”

Kise nods his understanding, tearsof frustration stinging his eyes.

The week crawls by but finally hegets clearance from Midorima to seek an audience with her. Initially, sherefuses, but under the surprisingly gentle persuasion of Kasamatsu, relents andallows Kise to enter her room. Her eyes are hard, lips pressed in a tight lineas he enters.

“Say what you want quickly then getout,” she snaps, turning her head so she doesn’t have to look at his goldeneyes, the eyes that melt her.

“_______-cchi,” he begins, taking aseat on the bed, “I don’t know what those goons told you to make you so upsetbut-“

She whips her head to face him,eyes full of fury. “They didn’t do a thing except break my body! YOU broke myheart, Kise!”

“What are you talking about?” hegrunts.

“I saw you,” she says lowly, voicefull of anger, “I saw you that day kissingthat girl and I know you weren’t onassignment! So, who was she? Hmmmm? Your little side whore? Your plaything forwhen I’m away? Tell me! Who was so important that you would throw awayeverything we built together?!”

She’s shouting again, voice drawingattention to the door and Midorima enters with a scowl on his face. Grabbinghers, Kise directs her attention to his own, eyes boring into her with anintensity she’s never seen before. “That girl had an allergic reaction to some ofthe food at the magazine shoot. I was giving her mouth to mouth to keep heralive until paramedics arrived.”

“What?” she breathes out.

“Yeah, it was just her and me andmy assistant at the time because everyone had to go pick up various items forthe shoot. She took a bite of a cream cheese puff thing and it had shellfish init. I guess when you came in was the same time my assistant was in the backally waiting for the ambulance. I never even knew you were there!”

Tears flood her eyes, her facescrunching up as she sobs against his chest. “Ryouta,” she chokes out and hesighs in relief, “I’m so, so sorry! I’m so sorry I doubted you! I…I’m so sorry!”

“It’s ok, shhhhhh. It’s ok,_______-cchi.”

Flying backwards, her head smackingthe headboard she cries out, “Even if I was mad, I didn’t tell them anything! Ididn’t! I…I just couldn’t betray you!”

He kisses her deeply, smoothingdown the back of her hair. “I know, baby, I know. Just, settle down, ok? It’sall ok now.” He looks over his shoulder, nodding to Midorima he has this undercontrol and the doctor retreats, shutting the door quietly. Carefully, Kisesettles into bed next to her, lying down and drawing her into his arms.

“Just next time, stick around toyell at me so you don’t get kidnapped again, ne?” he asks somewhat playfully andshe smacks his arm.

Kissing her again, he sighs intoher mouth. She may be a bit of a handful sometimes, but as long as it’s hishands handling her, he’s happy.

A cry of pain pierces Kuroo’s heart. That’s _______’s voice, callingout for mercy. “I don’t have anything to live for anymore, just kill me, please.”

Her pleas sear his soul, why would she say that? Isn’t he worth living for? Didn’t she believehe’d come for her? That he’d save her? Rushing in, guns blazing, he cuts downthree of her abusers in under thirty seconds. Yamamoto handles the remaining twowhile Lev rushes to get her down from where they’ve suspended her on a chain.

Kuroo sees her clinging to the half-Russian, sobbing thanks intohis shoulder. But when she raises her head and sees him, she goes silent, eyes cold.

“Come on, _______-chan, I’ll take you to Kuroo-san,” Lev offers,turning to walk towards his leader.

“No, Lev-kun, please, just, take me home,” she begs.

“Eh? But he’s right there! Don’t you know how worried he was? Howmuch he cried when we heard you were taken?” he exclaims, setting her down butstill holding her upright.

Normally, Kuroo would smack him for his big mouth but right now,it surprisingly seems to be helping him, because Kuroo can see hesitationshift the fierceness of her gaze. “He…cried?” she asks, voice small.

“Of course he did! Kuroo-san can’t live without you, ______-chan,we all know that!”

“Babe,” Kuroo calls softly, taking slow measured steps towards her,as though he’s afraid she’ll tear away from Lev’s grasp, “why did you tell themto kill you?”

“Eh? You said that?” Lev asks horrified.

“Lev, let’s go,” Yaku snaps, yanking the taller male away.

Her body shakes with the effort to stand but Kuroo won’t touch her,not if she doesn’t want him to. A small whimper of pain draws him closer, armsstretching out in a silent request for permission. She barely finishes the nodbefore Kuroo rushes forward, drawing her into a long embrace. Kissing hertemple, he whispers into her hair, “Tell me why.”

A shudder slices through her body, drawing more winces andstammers of pain but she manages to choke out, “I…I saw you. I saw you withthat girl and I just….oh god, Kuroo I thought I’d lost you and I just didn’twant to live anymore!”

“Saw me with…”he trails off, mind desperately searching for whatshe’s talking about.

Then it hits him. Suppressing a laugh, of relief or mirth or bothhe’s not sure, Kuroo pulls her head back to look in his eyes. “Oh my prettylittle kitty, how could you think I’d ever want anyone but you? That girlwas so distraughtshe almost ran into traffic so I grabbed her and tugged herback before she got hit by a truck. I guess you just saw the aftermath and insteadof talking to me,” he flicks her head making her pout, “you run off and getyourself nabbed in a dangerous territory.”

Kuroo draws her closer, kissing her cheek to avoid her split lip. “You’remy one and only, baby, never, ever doubt that again.”

She nods, throwing her arms around his neck and crying into hisshoulder. He easily picks her up, walking to the waiting car and the rest ofthe gang who all breathe a sigh of relief at the sight of her safe and whereshe belongs: in Kuroo’s arms.

Haunting My Dreams

Written for the wonderful @helwolves on the occasion of her birth! Based on a prompt for @sportsanimeolympics, which I can no longer post as a fill thanks to my being switched to Team BoKuroo. :3

Pairing AkaKuroo, inspired by the song Spooky (of which I prefer the Classics IV version, though Wolves suggested the Dusty Springfield one). I hope you like this, darling!

Also, thanks to @notallbees for listening to me ramble about the idea!

Tetsurou gazes down at the giant black cat draped over his lap and legs and wonders, not for the first time, how he got himself into this situation. Despite his legs being almost numb and the intense need to pee, he doesn’t want to disturb Akaashi. Not while he’s this comfortable and close to Tetsurou, which honestly doesn’t happen all that often. Akaashi is aloof at best, and Tetsurou is fairly sure the only reason he naps on him so often is just by the virtue that not many people actually know Akaashi’s secret. Being a panther doesn’t exactly instill the best sort of feelings in people, for whatever reason.

The only thing Kuroo minds is when he really, really needs to get up (like now) or the times when his pathetic crush takes him over (also now). Just when he’s about to gently nudge Akaashi awake Akaashi yawns and shifts back, still sprawled over Tetsurou, but this time sleepy and gorgeous in his human form. Tetsurou can’t help staring, wondering if he’ll ever manage to gather enough courage to do anything about his feelings.

Akaashi always has this ethereal, almost eerie air about him, and though that makes others wary, Tetsurou can’t help wanting to bask in his presence instead. Unfortunately he really needs to pee now, and he wiggles his way out, letting Akaashi slump on the couch itself as he hobbles toward the bathroom. When he gets back he stands next to the couch and wonders if it’s worth it to try to get his spot back. Akaashi yawns and blinks slowly as he sits up, evidently aware of Tetsurou’s gaze on him, staring back up at him in his version of curiosity, which looks much like his other faces, if you don’t know him well enough.

Fortunately Tetsurou does know him well enough. Maybe a little too well, honestly, Tetsurou thinks as his mouth moves even before he’s completed any sort of coherent thought. “Will you go out with me? Tonight? Uh, movie?”

Akaashi blinks again, and then answers in his usual soft voice. “No, I’m busy tonight-” Then he crinkles his nose and looks off to the side before catching Tetsurou’s gaze again. “Alright.”

The walk to the theater is quiet, and Tetsurou watches Akaashi out of the corner of his eye, wonders what he’s thinking, exactly. It looks like there are shadows clinging to him, like there are stars dusted in his dark hair, and Tetsurou blinks to see if they disappear. Akaashi tilts his head toward him in that moment, his gaze sharp, and then his lips turn up in a tiny little smile. Their hands, which have brushed together a few times, are close enough still that it takes almost nothing for Akaashi to thread his fingers in Tetsurou’s.

Being squished under a panther was something that Tetsurou had gotten used to long ago. Being squished under human Akaashi was almost as frequent, though usually it was during a nap, and not on the grass on their favorite park, the stars bright above them. There’s howls and the sound of chains rattling, and children running along the sidewalks to get to the next block of houses handing out candy, but here in the park, in the dark of the trees, it’s quiet with only the two of them.

Tetsurou’s heart is pounding from finally asking the question he’s been agonizing over for months, at least, and his back is sore from Akaashi throwing himself into Tetsurou’s arms with the most emphatic yes Tetsurou’s ever heard come from him. Akaashi sits up, and the darkness seems to back away from him as he does, like the stars are shining just a little brighter for him. He holds his hand out to Tetsurou, and Tetsurou takes it gently.

The silver band fits perfectly on Akaashi’s finger, the companion to Tetsurou’s own, just like Tetsurou knew it would, and he’s never seen anything more gorgeous than how Akaashi beams at him.

Kenma and Kuroo go to a gadget store that has a new teater VR headset for gaming, Kuroo is considering buying it for him though he has reservations and isn't too sure, but he gets his answer when Kenma tries it out, gets disorientated and pukes on the store floor.
