I smiled when writing this!

***

Whenever Kuroo mentioned the fact that Bokuto and him had moved in together to one of their friends, fear and worry flashed across their face.

Akaashi frequently expressed worry about their capability to take care of themselves, especially together. And yeah, maybe Kuroo still was not completely sure about how his laundry machine worked, but that was not necessary for survival.

Nowadays Bokuto and him spend most of their time together, so it made sense that people expected him to be chaotic.
After all Kuroo was Bokuto's best friend, boyfriend, and now roommate. And Bokuto's presence just always managed to make Kuroo excited and bring out his almost childish, joyful side. It made sense that people who knew both of them expected Kuroo to be a mess, he was after all a mess for Bokuto.

Still, Kuroo was a chemistry student. He knew his way around a laboratory. Measuring, pouring, and waiting for results came naturally to him. The kitchen was no different, it was just like a laboratory, except without some of the deadly acidic chemicals.
He knew how to feed himself and now he considered it an honor to frequently cook for Bokuto.

Bokuto ate every meal until no crumbs were left, and always thanked him with a big grin and a kiss. It felt good to take care of him.

Today however, pleasing Bokuto was not Kuroos goal in the kitchen – he was on a mission. Mission “make-Akaashi-believe-that-we-are-adults”, as Bokuto called it.

“What's the plan?” Bokuto asked eagerly. He was sitting on the counter and radiated with excitement.

For a second Kuroo thought about resisting the urge to kiss Bokuto, but he looked too cute, it would have been cruel. Bokuto giggled into the kiss.

“Here's what we'll do,” Kuroo said, putting on his game face, “to impress Akaashi and prove our competence, we need to bake something really, well, impressive.”

He showed Bokuto his phone screen so he could read the recipe.

“What's pavlova?”

“It's a cake made up entirely of meringue, topped with fruit.”

Bokuto's eyes started to sparkle. “That sounds amazing!”

His enthusiasm never failed to make Kuroo smile. “If you want to try it, we have to get to work.”


Cooking with Bokuto was always fun, what he lacked in skill or finesse, he made up for with determination. Kuroo's personal favorite part of it was the way Bokuto's tongue peeked out in concentration.

Still, Kuroo had a mission to fulfill, he couldn't stare at his adorable boyfriend the entire time, even if the way Bokuto's arms flexed when stirring and the pink flowery apron were a side to behold.

They started a contest to see who could whip up the egg whites faster. After 15 minutes, Kuroo gave up and convinced Bokuto to do so as well, even if he had not yet slowed down or shown signs of tiredness.

“Trust me, it's not cheating,” Kuroo said and plugged the electric whisk in.

While Bokuto held the whisk, Kuroo took on the more delicate task of slowly drizzling in the sugar.

“It's so shiny!” Bokuto almost shouted when the meringue reached hard peaks. He scooped out the meringue onto a lined baking tray, handing over the spoon to Kuroo so he could do “cool swirly things”.
Of course they used the baking time productively, cleaning the kitchen up. Or at least that was the plan before Bokuto started kissing Kuroo, and well, Kuroo certainly couldn't be blamed for giving in to his favorite person.

(His second favorite person was Kenma.)

When the Pavlova finally finished baking, Bokuto excitedly started decorating it with strawberries.

“Bokuto, I have some bad news.”

“Oh no! What happened?”

Kuroo sighed. “Akaashi just texted me. He can't come, he got a stomach flu.”

Bokuto immediately rushed to his phone to without a doubt write Akaashi a get-well-soon message decorated with many exclamation marks and stickers.

“Poor Akaashi...” Bokuto's voice showed his compassion, as did his sad puppy eyes.

Wasting no time, Kuroo pulled him into his arms to gently stroke his back. “It sucks, I know you were excited for this. What a waste, the cake turned out really pretty.”

Bokuto looked up at him and furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. “Why would baking a cake ever be a waste? It's awful that Akaashi feels bad, but I'm not exactly mad about getting to eat an entire cake with you. Unless you think we can't finish it?”

“Oh, is that a challenge? You're so on!”

Sorry for the terrible title, I literally couldn't come up with anything else.

***

Chris wakes with his shoulder aching. It does this, sometimes, on rainy days. It’s never anything terribly unbearable, but he throws a heating pad in the microwave as he’s preparing a pot of coffee anyway.

Eggs and bacon go in the pan. Years of living in the States have shaped his breakfast habits into something decidedly American, and his husband doesn’t seem to mind. At the moment, he’s not even awake, and Chris wonders if he’ll end up serving it in bed.

Kazuya hasn’t taken terribly well to retirement. After years of playing professional baseball, his knees had finally given out. Through the off-season he had been alright, his spirits keeping up well, but now that teams are back in training and with the season just around the corner, his mood has shifted into something darker. He’s tried to mask it as best he can, but Chris knows the frustration of wanting to play and not being able to. It’s not like Kazuya could hide anything from him, anyway.

The bacon has been pulled from the pan and he’s about to throw bread in the toaster when Kazuya finally emerges from the bedroom. His hair is a complete mess, sticking out from his head a hundred different ways. He’s shuffling a little more slowly than usual, and Chris keeps a careful eye on him. It could be that he’s tired, or he, too, could be in pain from the weather. He pours himself a cup of coffee and pulls the heating pad out.

“Your shoulder?” he questions.

“You know how it gets,” Chris answers.

Kazuya hums and arranges it on Chris’ neck. He follows it up with a kiss to the outside of Chris’ shoulder. “Morning.”

“Good morning. I hope you don’t mind that I scrambled these.”

“That’s fine.”

Kazuya retrieves plates from the cabinet and places strips of bacon on each. He holds them steady while Chris scoops out giant piles of fluffy egg.

“Do we have any plans today?” he asks, taking them over to the table.

“None that I know of,” Chris answers. He refills his coffee mug. “Unless you’ve got plans I don’t know about.”

“Nope.” They settle at the table.

Conversation is slow as they eat. Kazuya seems tired still, bags weighing heavy under his eyes, and Chris wonders what time he got to sleep in the first place. His heart hurts, and he wishes there were something he could do to soothe the baseball-shaped hole in Kazuya’s heart.

“I have an idea,” Chris says, just as Kazuya is shoveling the last of his eggs into his mouth.

“What’s that?” Kazuya asks past a mouthful of food.

“You. Me. Pajamas. The couch. Netflix marathon.”

Kazuya grins. “You wanna Netflix and chill, old man?”

“Old man!” Chris protests. “You’re the one who’s going gray already.” He reaches out to ruffle Kazuya’s hair.

“It makes me look sophisticated, unlike this scruff all over your face.” Kazuya stands and runs his thumb over the couple days’ worth of beard growth Chris hasn’t bothered shaving down.

“You like it,” Chris counters.

“I didn’t say I didn’t.” Kazuya bends down and presses his lips to Chris’ jaw. “It’s kind of nice, actually.”

“Why do you think I haven’t shaved?”

“Are you trying to seduce me, Chris-senpai?”

“We’re married, Kazuya. And I distinctly remember you coming on to me.”

“I’m a very smart man, Chris. Had to snatch you up before you went abroad and fell in love with some beautiful American.”

Chris grabs Kazuya’s chin and tugs him down for a kiss. Kazuya smirks against his lips.

“You always had my heart, Kazuya,” Chris murmurs. “No beautiful American could have taken that away from you.”

Kazuya’s eyes shine, and he smiles, genuine and sincere. “So lazy Saturday morning in?”

“Followed by lazy Saturday afternoon, and then lazy Saturday evening.”

“Lazy enough to order takeout?”

“Sounds good to me.”

“We’re using your name this time, I have no interest in screaming fangirls at our door.”

“Fair enough,” Chris laughs. “Hey. You wanna talk about anything? I know it’s hard, missing the season.”

Kazuya nods, a wistful look in his eyes. “Yeah, it is. But everything had to end sometime.”

“It did.”

“And it’s easier knowing you’re here,” Kazuya says. He cradles Chris’ cheek in his hand. “You were always waiting for me. It’s nice to be on the same page, for once.”

Chris can’t help but to lean up and capture Kazuya’s mouth again. Kazuya hums contentedly into his mouth.

“You owe me a movie marathon,” he says when Chris pulls away. He smirks. “Last one to the couch pays for takeout!”

“We have a shared bank account!”

I love rodents so much y'all.

***

Everyone’s phone pings as an alert comes up in We Love Asahi (And Each Other). It’s the seventeenth name the chat has gone through, and this one has lasted a whole three days without Noya or Suga changing it.
Asahi goes into the notifications of his phone, watching Daichi and Suga out of the corner of his eyes as they do the same. Asahi shifts where they’re sitting on the floor to snuggle farther into Suga’s leg. Suga has stopped petting his hair in favor of reading their phone, and Asahi figures if it’s that important he should actually click into the conversation.

Yuu: are u going to kill me if i tell u that I did….a thing
Koushi: what did you do babe?
Yuu: u’ll find out wen i get home
Daichi: This is a bad idea.
Yuu: u have no idea wat i did.
Daichi: You asked if I was going to kill you. That probably means I’m going to.
Yuu: u love me 2 much to kill me.
Koushi: i don’t!
Yuu: fine i’m never coming home… with takeout…
Koushi: how spicy did you get it???
Yuu: told them 2 make u cry.
Koushi: you are tentatively allowed inside the apartment.
Yuu: be there in 10.

Asahi entwines his left arm with Daichi’s leg, and grumbles quietly until Suga’s hand returns to his hair. They go back to focusing on the nature documentary Daichi’s picked, though Asahi’s mind fills with thoughts of what Noya could have done this time.
Last time Noya had asked them that question, he’d decided to try frosted tips. Time before, he’d accidentally washed a new purple shirt with all their white clothes and gotten kicked out of the laundromat for the ensuing freakout. It had permanently banned him from laundry duty and left them all wearing slightly lavender shirts to practice with the neighborhood association. Then there was the time he’d gotten fired for insulting a rude customer, which Suga had supported him for and Asahi had been horrified by. The time he’d bought a new bike far out of his price range that had gotten stolen three days later. The time he’d volunteered them to babysit a coworker’s nephew for a full week.
In short, Nishinoya Yuu was always causing some kind of trouble for his partners, and they loved him not only despite it, but for it.
“Tadaima!” the man himself calls as he walks through the door. He looks the same, if somewhat subdued and cradling his jacket to his chest.
“What is that in your jacket?” Daichi asks.
“Did you find a kitten?” Suga asks eagerly.
“It’s a guinea pig!” Nishinoya crows as he pulls a skinny, piebald animal from his jacket. “He was the last one at the pet shop, and look how scrappy he looks. He was all alone, Suga,” he pleads, turning to the real head of the household.
Asahi and Suga both jump up and rush towards the rodent in question.
“You got a guinea pig,” Daichi says, more statement than question.
“He was all alone, and look; I bet he wasn’t getting his veggies. Someone has to take care of poor Buta!” Noya lifts up the pig to eye level. “Don’t they?” he croons. “Don’t they, lil buddy?”
“You named him Buta?” Asahi says. He holds out his arms for the rodent, and Nishinoya obligingly deposits it in his large hands. “You know they’re not really pigs, right?”
“It’s better than Piggu-Piggu!”
“Which was your second choice,” Suga says, sidling up to Noya and reaching out their hands to pet the animal now known as Buta. “Right?”
“That’s what they were calling him at the store,” Nishinoya says. “You can’t get rid of him. The lease says we can have caged pets, remember?”
“You know you have to have at least two guinea pigs, right? And they need fresh veggies and hay all the time. And he’ll need a lot of cage space, and--” Asahi says until Noya cuts him off.
“Daichi will help me go get everything I need,” Nishinoya says.
“I...will?” Daichi says.
“You had guinea pigs till first year,” Nishinoya says. “Your parents told me all about Kishimu and...I can’t remember the other one.”
“Retasu,” Daichi says. “I’m never letting you near my parents again.”
He reaches for his shoes.
“So we can keep him?” Noya says, his eyes large and impossible to turn down.
“You have to take care of him,” Asahi says, still cradling him in one arm and petting him with the other hand. “I’m not doing anything for him.” He begins to rock gently back and forth, eyes glued to Buta.
Suga rolls their eyes. “Asahi will watch him while you’re gone.”
“I just said I--” Asahi says.
“Fine, then I’ll take him,” Suga says.
Asahi pulls Buta to the side. “No!”
Nishinoya slips a hand into Daichi’s as their partners bicker fondly over the guinea pig.
“Looks like we’ve got a guinea pig,” Daichi says as they walk out the door.
“So, you’re not going to kill me?” Nishinoya says, just loud enough for Asahi to hear as he jumps out of Suga’s range and tucks his arms around Buta.
Daichi throws his head back and laughs.

Hope you're okay with implications of possibly adding Sawamura to the relationship!

***

In a way, the practice uniform he’s pulling off is familiar. The royal blue against tan skin reminds him of high school, of home, in a way that’s wonderful and bittersweet.

The orange script that spells out Mets is different, of course, and while there are aspects of New York City that remind Chris of Tokyo, they’re not the same. For one, the late March chill is nothing like a Tokyo summer, and for another, there’s no familiar banter to chime in with, no Miyuki harassing the underclassmen, none of Mochi’s laughter, none of Jun’s shouting. Going professional had always been his dream, and his father’s dream for him, and he’s thrilled to finally be making that dream come true. But he can’t help but think of the men who helped him get where he is today and miss them, far from home as he is.

Noah pats him on the shoulder as he’s headed out, and Jacob waves at him across the locker room, but he hasn’t really made friends with any of them yet. He had spent a few nights at the hotel bar with them, but nothing past that. He sighs as he shoulders his bag and heads out into the night. In his pocket, his phone buzzes.

>>How’s New York treating you?

Speak of the devil. Miyuki Kazuya’s face greets him from the screen. His arm had been wrapped around Eijun in the picture, but the small circle that shows the contact photo doesn’t show that. Another pang goes through his heart.

<< You’re up early, Chris answers.

>>Sawamura’s got me catching for him in a few. Kid’s really getting good.

>>Don’t tell him I told you that.

Chris laughs aloud.

<< Your secret’s safe with me. New York is cold. How’s Tokyo?

>>About the same.

>>Lonely without you.

Chris sighs, wondering if Miyuki is thinking the same things he is. They had been so close, and there had always been something brimming just under the surface between the two of them. But they’re on different sides of the world now, living different lives. He can’t wait for Miyuki any more than Miyuki can wait for him. And then there’s Sawamura to think about...

It takes him longer than he wants to admit to come up with a response. His thumbs hover over the keyboard the whole taxi ride back to his apartment. By now he’s assuming Miyuki will have been pulled away from his phone, busy with Sawamura, and he probably won’t get a response until tomorrow morning his time, later that evening for Miyuki. He knows what he wants to say (I miss you, I wish we’d had more time, we can still make it work) but he holds himself back. Being on the other side of the planet hasn’t made him any braver, it seems.

<< Yeah. At least you’ve got Sawamura, though.

To his surprise, an answer comes back almost immediately.

>>Is it wrong to want you both?

A moment later, while Chris is still gaping, a text from Eijun himself.

>>Miss you Chris-senpai!! Tell Miyuki Kazuya to stop texting you and get back to catching!

Chris laughs again. Gods, how he misses them. He’s typing out a response when another message comes through from Miyuki, this time to both of them.

>>Let’s Skype this weekend, the three of us.

Half a world away and Miyuki can still surprise him.

>>MIYUKI KAZUYA THAT’S A GREAT IDEA FOR ONCE

>>Fuck you, I’ll full of great ideas.

Chris shakes his head. They’re ridiculous, but he wouldn’t want them any other way.

<< Let’s do it. Pick a time and I’ll be there.

>>CHRIS-SENPAI! I’M HONORED TO BE WORTH YOUR TIME!

>>Alright, let’s go back to pitching, you little weirdo.

>>YOU’RE WEIRD, MIYUKI KAZUYA.

Chris pockets his phone again. He’ll never stop missing home, but home was never the place he was in so much as the people he was with, and it turns out they’re only a Skype call away.

Gosh. This is really lovely. You really captured that feeling of being far from home and the people you love and the warm fuzzy feelings of being missed and loved in return. Thanks for the fill!

(And don't even worry about canon. I could easily see this happening in the future. *thumbs up*)

Re: FILL: Team 29 Balls to the Face, G

[oaktoont]

Ahhhh! This is freakin' adorable! I'm such a sucker for old married domestic couples. And I love the idea of them taking care of each other after their careers are over. Thanks for the fill!

(The title is totally fine, but I understand the hesitation. Coming up with titles is the *worst*. Lol.)

Kakeru does not know how long he’s been running.

It feels nonstop, these days, since the world ended -- a constant endless road of time, advancing onward, without interruption or change. He runs, he forages for some resources so he can keep running, he takes a short rest (you can’t rest for long, not any more) and then he keeps running.

It’s almost dusk, and he’s running along a railroad (long and flat, good line of sight) when he comes across a body lying across it. This isn’t unusual anymore (he misses when it was) until he realizes the body is moving, chest gently rising and falling with breath, inhaled and exhaled, slowly and with effort.

He assumes the body is dying.

He almost keeps running, but Haiji’s words echo loudly in his head as he passes (“you’re not actually alone, you’re always with someone else”) and he is reminded that he used to have people around him, running with him, and they would have stopped for him, always. So with an ache in his chest he slows down, and doubles back.

“You okay?”

He knows the second the words are out of his mouth that it’s an idiotic question -- none of them are okay.

The person on the side of the road shifts slightly, eyes flickering open in a glare -- a pathetic one -- before he closes them again, waving him off. “Go away. I give up, just leave me alone.”

Kakeru feels the words charging through his head, destroying his train of thought, throwing him off-balance. They sound familiar, and his reaction to them is sudden and intense.

“No,” is all he says, and he sees Haiji’s face, his smile, before leaning down to haul the stranger to his feet.

“Hey,” he says, swatting at him. “Don’t you listen?”

“No,” Kakeru says again, and starts walking, pulling the stranger along with him. “I’m not leaving you here, so come on.”

“I’m just dead weight,” the stranger says, strawberry hair falling into his eyes as he slumps, sweat pouring down his face, his feet dragging as he shuffles down the road, pulled along by Kakeru. “I’m done.”

“One more mile,” Kakeru says, still holding firm to his upper arm. “Let’s just go for one more mile.”

The stranger looks up at him, frowning. “Why do you even care? You have no idea who I am. You could easily keep going and just let me do what I want.”

“He’d be disappointed if I did that,” Kakeru says quietly, but after a few more steps, pauses, and finally lets go. “But I guess I can’t make you do anything. I’m going to go one more mile, and I think you should, too.”

“I can’t,” the stranger laments, but he’s still standing, and has his hands in his hair, distress obvious in the tense line of his shoulders.

“You can,” Kakeru says, and pauses, looking back at him. Waiting.

The stranger lets out a whine, and then sighs, and slowly looks up at Kakeru, searching his face for something. Kakeru waits.

He turns with a shake of his head and looks for a moment like he’s going to go back to the spot where Kakeru found him, but then he stops, groans, and turns back to face Kakeru.

“One mile,” he says, and Kakeru nods, and starts walking, and slowly, the stranger starts to move, trailing after him.

“I’m Kakeru,” Kakeru says, eyes fixed on the road ahead of him.

“Akane. But my f-- I went by Prince, before. I guess.”

“Okay,” Kakeru says, and they keep walking, and as it starts to get darker, Kakeru can see the tiny lights of fireflies blinking on and off along the bushes to the side of the road, and Kakeru can’t help but feel like they’re lighting the way, ushering them on.

Just one more mile, and just one after that.

Maybe, eventually, they’ll find answers, if they just keep going.

i have no idea what the names for the chars in kitagawa daiichi are when kageyama’s there, so i stole some names from the wikia. i almost went with witch for kageyama’s class, but ultimately settled on launcher for the theoretical smc & yx parallels. it’s been a while since i watched qzgs (& i never finished the novel) so just pretend it all makes sense :D

this turned out more gen than i intended, hopefully that’s ok…!

“Oi, Oritsume,” Kageyama snarls, as he climbs his avatar onto a higher rock for a better shooting position. “I told you to get to the left—can’t you move any quicker? Use your fingers!”

“Calm yourself,” Oritsume snaps back. “Just do your job and stop ordering us around.”

Kageyama ignores him and activates Anti-Tank Missile, shooting at the enemy Blade Master—the one with bright orange hair—who quickly darts around the three shells. Honestly, he’s the only one on the enemy team with any valuable hand speed.

He zips about the battlefield, deft for a player with no situational awareness, and closes in on Kageyama’s team captain. Hashikami, the captain, tries to activate his Ghostblade’s Dark Boundary, and Kageyama curses under his breath. Can’t he see it’s too late? Screw the orange-haired player’s situational awareness—Hashikami needs to improve his, and Kageyama says as much.

Kageyama unleashes Gatling Gun in retaliation—which hits the Blade Master before the Dark Boundary can take effect, thank you very much. Still, what’s done is done, and Hashikami is left with barely any health.

Anger seizes control of Kageyama’s brain, but before he can say anything, Hashikami throws down his blade and says, “That’s it. I’ve had enough with your attitude. I’m not playing anymore.”

Slowly but surely, the other players on his team agree. One chips in, “You might as well be playing by yourself, know-it-all. Tyranny’d accept you for your attitude alone,” as he too drops his weapon on the ground.

Kageyama’s face burns. He grits his teeth, swivels his avatar around a few times to take notice of the enemy team: just three of them are left, and the Blade Master is the only one that could pose danger.

“Fine,” he says, and gets to it.

+

In the end, he does win. It’s close, though; the Blade Master and the Sharpshooter pull off some weird teamwork that gets the Blade Master in real close with the last 5% of his health.

Luckily, Kageyama manages to disarm him. In a moment of impulsivity, he flips on the world voice chat, pins the Blade Master to the ground, and nearly shouts, “What have you been doing for the past three years?! What—why are you even playing?”

“For the glory, obviously,” the Blade Master retorts. His avatar jerks in an attempt to land a hit on Kageyama’s, which he responds to by firing his hand cannon into his shoulder and taking the last of his health. As the victory animation appears on Kageyama’s screen, he can hear the Blade Master saying, “Just you wait, though, I’ll—”

+

Just over a few months later, Kageyama finds himself shellshocked in his new team’s training room. (It’s not Tyranny, in fact; they didn't want him.) In-game, an orange-haired Blade Master stands before him.

Kageyama lifts his eyes to see an equally orange-haired head sitting at the computer across him. Hinata, or so he remembers from the team introductions.

“You’re—” Hinata makes a noise that kind of sounds like he’s dying, then whines, “How am I supposed to beat you if we’re on the same team?!”
