"Akaashi! My tummy hurts. Make it stop." Bokuto had gotten up from the Fukurodani table a few minutes ago to talk to Tsukishima. Apparently Akaashi was being scary in some way. She couldn't tell. By the looks of it, Tsukki had brushed her off again and Bokuto was back over here.
"Akaashi." Bokuto was so annoying at times.
'I have to help her though. She is so helpless. And cute.' Akaashi thought. 'She would never get by in life without me. Curses.'
"Describe it then. I can't help you if I don't know what you are feeling." She sighed.
"Describe pain? How would you do that?"
"Figure it out."
"Ok. Umm… It feels like a knife is stabbing me in the tummy multiple times. And... it really hurts." Bokuto said, while putting on a concentrated look.
"Why don't you go lay down in the nurse's office." Akaashi said in her monotone voice. Having a stomach ache wasn't that bad. Bokuto was probably over reacting, so not much feeling and worry had to be put into this.
"Ok." She got up and walked over to the doors. She looked behind her and made a pouting face before walking out and shutting the doors behind her.
"Bokuto being a nuisance again? I don't see how you don't get along."
Akaashi looked up and Kuroo was standing there, with her cat smile.
"What are you doing here? I see you got your cat back."
"Your so nice. Thanks. And yes. I got my kitty back. She is so cute. I need your help with something as well." Kuroo had taken the spot next to Akaashi. She set down the back kitten, and it bounced around on the table. Walking around to other players and rubbing her face on them, slightly purring. Kuroo watched this and smiled with glee. Then turned back to Akaashi.
"What if I told you….My stomach hurts as well. In the same why Bokuto described it. Would you make me go down to the nurse's office as well?" Kuroo said. She balled her hand into a fist and slightly pawed at Akaashi's face.
"Yes I would. If your stomach is hurting too, then go."
"Fine. See you later I guess." She smiled and picked up her kitty. Who was now rubbing her face against Akaashi's arm. "Don't go around screwing around with people. If you know what I mean."
"As if. Just go."
….….
"Are you ready for bed now my little sluts?" Tsukishima said. Pissing off Kageyama was one of his favorite things to do. Being a girl now meant that he couldn't lay a finger on her, as ordered by Daichi. "You look so tired after all that setting. To bad you can't practice enough to get Hinata to hit it."
"Shut it. It's not like you've practice much." He said. They all started head back to the Karasuno dorm room. Nishinoya, Hinata, and even Tanaka this time had loaded up on sugar. They were bouncing off the walls and Asahi of all people was starting to get irritated, along with the rest. Daichi and Suga, the normally inseparable pair were walking on different sides of the hall, walking at different speeds, and looking in different directions. It looked like they were avoiding each other? No. It was something else.
"I did practice. Although I'm not obsessed, like you. I don't have to practice everyday. Wait. Do you want me to break one of your arms? Then you can go through a fraction of the pain I went through. Sound like fun?" She smirked back. Walking around the annoyed setter, taunting him.
"Tsukishima stop. I don't think that we need Kageyama to commit murder tonight." Yamaguchi said, pulling her back, away from him, who has sent painful glances over in their direction. Almost like daggers.
His touch was soft,as he pulled her back. His small freckles stood out when he talked. He was so cute. He reminded her of Kuroo. She was cute as well. Tsukishima felt the heat rising to her face.
"Uh. Yeah. Ok." She said. Backing away from Kageyama, she stood on the usual left side of Yamaguchi. Making him irritated would make that cute face go away. Tsukishima didn't want that.
'Why am I doing this. I should be over there making him pissed off. Not staring love blindedly at a kid who reminds me of Kuroo. Wow…' She thought. Thinking about Kuroo made her heart beat faster, pumping more blood to her face. Her cheeks were getting hotter and hotter. 'What if Kageyama sees me like this. With a blushy face. How do I make it calm down?!'
They were almost at their dorm now. Most of the other teams had already arrived at their rooms. Suddenly, a shrill scream burst throughout the halls. It echoed and rang in the ears of Karasuno. Thumping was heard and people from all of the rooms, as they bursts out from the dorm rooms. Doors opened and players came out to look around and see who made the screech.
Tsukishima recognized that voice though. It wasn't hard to tell. They were always yelling and talking loud.
"Bokuto."
….…..
Footsteps could be heard thundering through the halls. Tsukishima was running around looking for Bokuto. When turning a corner, she slammed into a person with enough force to knock her and the other backward and onto the ground.
"Shit. Tsukki! Why are you running around so fast?" Kuroo was getting up from the ground and helping the girl up when fully standing. "If you are looking for Bokuto, she is in the nurse's office. So there is no need to be running. Help me find Akaashi. Boku is having a panic attack and won't talk to anyone."
"Why did she scream?" Tsukishima was perplexed as to why she would just burst out of nowhere and screech.
"Really. I just said. I don't know. That's why I'm trying to find Akaashi." Kuroo said while giving Tsukishima a 'really dude' face. "You should help me find her."
"I'm right here you twats."
They both turned around to see the setter glaring at them. She had rustled hair and depressed looking body features. There were bruises and scratches lining her muscular arms and legs. Not to mention that killer black eye.
"Are you alright?"
"No. Yeah. I guess. I was walking up the stairs then Bokuto screamed. I managed to fall down three flights. Other than that I think I'm great." The sarcasm in her monotone voice was cringeworthy. It hurt to hear her so irritated.
"Three flights…"
"Let's just go. Standing for no reason in an empty hall is pointless. You said Bokuto was in the nurse's office? Shouldn't the nurse be helping her?" She said the last part to herself. They had started walking after Akaashi had pushed them in the direction of the medical wing.
"The nurse is a nurse. Not a therapist. I'm not even sure how to get Bokuto out of this stage of panic. She's not doing all that great." Kuroo sighed and started to slouch again. Akaashi pushed her back up straight.
They made it to the office and pushed the doors open. The inside of the room was in absolute shambles. There was broken glass everywhere, with blankets and medical gowns everywhere. Even one of the beds had flipped and was laying upside down across the room.
'Wait. There are two beds out of place. The one over there and...what the fuck.' Akaashi thought. Some of the craziest things were happening. The bed had been pushed up against the corner to form a triangle shape. A blanket had been put up over the top to make a shelter. The doctor guy and nurse looked like they were talking to the bed.
"Um. What's happening here?" The three had made their way over to the nurse and Doctor. They looked up.
"Let's see. Bokuto freaked out all of a sudden. When we tried to calm her down she flipped out and overturned the bed. We tried to catch her, gut she smashed a few things trying to get away and dragged that bed over here to the corner. She would scratch at us if we tried to take it apart and she's pretty much locked up in there. I don't want her to start getting anxious." The nurse said trying to take the blanket off the top of the structure. It was quickly put back into place by Bokuto from inside.
"Geez. Bokuto, what's wrong? Why won't you tell me?" Kuroo was complaining to the bed smushed up against the wall. "You're making me worried. I might loose my hair. And then run away. Then I would stop being your friend." Kuroo frowned, and her soft kitten smile disappeared some time ago.
Suddenly, a hand reached out and grabbed Akaashi's arm. She was yanked into the little bed fort and the blanket on the top was adjusted again.
"What the hell! I told you not to go grabbing me like that!" Akaashi pestered from inside the fort. There was whispering and the two conversed for some time. Tsukishima had fallen asleep on Kuroo's lap after about fifteen minutes. Kuroo had fallen asleep a few seconds after. They were both out cold by the time Akaashi had gotten out from the fort. She was pale and showing a slight amount of worry.
She walked over to Kuroo who had fallen back onto the ground dead in sleep and with Tsukki curled up on her long legs. The doctor and nurse had gone to do something else across the room and everything had gone back to normal. Akaashi picked up Tsukishima was placed her in one of the four beds that hadn't flipped over. She relaxed and purred when she was put down and the blanket pulled on top of her. She headed back over to Kuroo where she shook her.
"Kuroo. Can I talk to you for a second?"
