Sunday

[10:12] Unknown Number
Hello Kuroo-san! This is Yamaguchi, Hinata's boyfriend and Tsukki's best friend.
I got your phone number from Hinata I hope you don't mind.
I was wondering if you were busy this morning.

[10:19] me
ofc i remember u! ur too adorable to forget
and ofc i dont mind!
r u asking me out freckles…? :O

[10:20] freckles
Oh no! I was just hoping that you could give Tsukki a call.

[10:20] me
….what?
tsukki? why?
IS HE OK?!

[10:23] freckles
Ahh yes, physically he's fine. Don't panic too much Kuroo-san!
I'm just a bit worried about him.

[10:23] me
what do u mean 'physically'
thats oddly specific, is he not mentally ok?
why r u worried
ur worrying ME

[10:27] freckles
Um. Okay. I shouldn't say this but he's given me no choice. It's for his own good.
Tsukki is insecure. I know you haven't met him but it's very difficult to tell on the outside and I can only assume he keeps up that front via message.
Don't be mad at him (he was only looking for support, I hope you understand) but he sent me a screenshot of that message you sent about wanting to settle. It made him worry.
BUT NOT IN THE WAY YOU THINK.
He's concerned about hurting you… I think he believes he isn't good enough for you.
I'm really sorry about how much I know but he's my best friend and I've known him since we were kids and I'm really worried.
I think you could be good for him and I don't want him to just push you away because he's scared.
Sorry again.

[10:28] me
its ok dont apologise so much! i understand id be the same with kenma
im going to call him rn
thank u for tellin me freckles 3

[10:29] freckles
Please be careful Kuroo-san. He's not as harsh as he seems.
Thank you for understanding.


[10:31] Me
Incoming call…
Call connected.

"… Hello?"

"Were you asleep?"

"No… Yes. Who is this…?"

"Kuroo Tetsurou."

"…"

"Good morning sunshine. Shit your voice is unbelievably sexy when it's all gravelly with sleep Tsukki."

"Uhhh. Wha—What are you-? Why did you call?"

"Concern."

"Um… Concern for what?"

"Concern for you."

"Shit… Yamaguchi contacted you didn't he? I'm going to fucking kill him."

"Okay sexy gravelly voice also makes death threats sound very real. Tsukki, he's just worried about you and from what he told me so am I. I didn't mean to push all that stuff on you. I didn't want to but I needed to explain why I wanted to keep it this way. At least for a little while… You hurting me is literally the last thing I'm worried about. Also there is no way in hell I'm too good for you."

"Jesus… Kuroo, I-"

"No, Tsukki, listen. I realise I come on strong but I'm not pushing you towards anything. I want you to want this because I've had enough of trying to make people want the things I want. It's exhausting. I don't know where this insecurity comes from but I do know that you deserve better than to think so little of yourself. We've barely been talking for a week, but your friends with my friends and they love you and I'm friends with yours and we've spoken a lot and I just feel like I've known you forever. Which is such a fucking cliché but so fucking true. You're so much better than you think you are. I think you're worth it Tsukki and that's all that should matter right?"

"…"

"…Tsukki?"

"…I do want the things you want."

"Okay, good. Because I like you. Which is also really dumb but whatever. Shit happens right?"

"I like your voice Kuroo."

"Shit dude, do not use that fucking voice on me, it's a damn weapon. You should come with a warning label like Gizmo. 'Do not speak to Tsukishima Kei in the mornings, you will get an instant hard on'. "

"I like your laugh too."

"Tsukki!"

"Fine, sorry. I'm sleepy and my brain is struggling to focus on greater concepts other than you sound good."

"Well, as sweet as that is, did you listen to and understand what I said?"

"Yes Kuroo."

"Good boy. Why are you still asleep?"

"Mm, haven't been sleeping very well."

"Damn, I'm sorry. I feel so guilty for telling you all that stuff and freaking you out."

"Not your fault. I'm glad you told me."

"… Okay. Do you need to sleep more Tsukki?"

"Mmmm sleep…"

"I'll take that as a yes. Text me when you wake up."

"Mm Kuroo. M'sorry."

"It's okay Tsukki. Sleep."

[10:39] Me
Call disconnected.


[13:45] Me
Did I talk to you this morning…?

[13:45] Kuroo
plz tell me ur fuckin with me rn

[13:46] Me
Okay… I'm fucking with you.

[13:46] Kuroo
NOW PLZ TELL ME UR STILL FUCKIN WITH ME
u do remember what we spoke about right?!
srs kei, tell me, rn, tell me

[13:46] Me
:D

[13:47] Kuroo
ur an arse

[13:47] Me
Told you.

[13:47] Kuroo
so u remember what i said n we're all good?

[13:49] Me
We're better than good.
I'm sorry for freaking out on you.
Your voice is amazing.

[13:51] Kuroo
ok now ur hittin on me and i don't even know what to even
r u ok
did u bump ur head
take drugs
went back to that underground fight club (and not invite me?!)

[13:51] Me
Ha, now you know how I feel.

[13:54] Kuroo
u have power over me tsukki
i never thought ud be the type to abuse it .·´¯`(-▂-)´¯`·.

[13:55] Me
Clearly you have a lot to learn about me.

[13:55] Kuroo
shit stop tsukkkkiiii
everything u say sounds so suggestive
r u actually flirting i don't know u well enough to be able to tell over txt

[13:56] Me
Yes.

[13:56] Kuroo
ok i have swimming practise in like 4 mins D:
but why r u flirting
not that im complainin, like defs the opposite
but what changed
i know uve been accepting my flirting since fri but u still haven't been flirting back til now

[13:59] Me
You just seem more real now.
Not just because of the call, though that was probably the last big push towards, um, wanting this.
But in meeting your friends and listening to you rant so passionately about me doing what I love doing
and listening to you talk about the reason you love law
and listening to you talk about what you've been through with relationships and what you want from your next one.
I guess I've gotten to the point that I realised I like you…
And I think that's part of the reason I went missing yesterday.
I did a LOT of thinking. So much so I struggled to concentrate on study and sleep.

[13:59] Kuroo
omfg worst timing ever to be the cutest lil shit that evr existed
ill respond proper later

[16:32] Kuroo
that is the first time you said you like me and i will cherish it forever ( ω )
tsukkkkiiii 3
that was so sweet ur so freaking sweet
i love that those r the things that made u like me
oh god how r u this perfect
how did this happen how did we meet again

[16:38] Me
Technically we haven't met yet.
And thank you.

[16:39] Kuroo
u blushing tsukki?! i can tell u go all quiet with short responses
so cute ^_^ i cant wait to see ur cute blushing!
i wonder if we would have met without the accidental butt pic (which is still my most treasured possession) :P
i mean its highly likely right u know both KEN AND AKAASHI
i wonder if we would have liked each other

[16:41] Me
The likelihood that we would have met anyway was pretty high.
Hinata's pretty obsessed with Kenma and Yamaguchi always drags me places with them.
You may have come home one day to me in your living room.
And clearly we would have been attracted to each other.

[16:44] Kuroo
come home to u in my living room and ravish u u mean o(*ω*)o
i think i prefer it like this tho (as much as i wanna touch u rn)
i mean i know NOW ur not shallow like previous dicks were
ive been pre hesitant when meeting anyone over the last few months becoz of things that happened
mayb i wouldnt have trusted u like i do like this
who knows¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[16:45] Me
Not really much point contemplating it. We are where we are.
Though I'm not the most socially appealing person which would have made you less likely to like me.

[16:48] Kuroo
right bokuto told me ur like akaashi
good thing bout me and my bro for guys like u and akaashi, we tend to plow right thru that cold quiet intimidating façade without much of a care lol
ur so pretty i would have done (will do) just about anything to get in
fuck that sounds horrible =/
i dont JUST mean bone u i mean get to kno u and learn how perf u r 3

[16:48] Me
I know what you mean and it's sweet even though you somehow managed to make it one of the crudest things I've ever heard.
Akaashi and Bokuto do seem like an odd pair but I see what you mean.
It's nice, to know that they understand each other and balance each other like that.

[16:49] Kuroo
tsukki ima understand u like that and u balance me
far less extremely than them though i think
im not bokuto
i love him like a bro but god knows we dont need another one of him

[16:49] Me
Hinata.

[16:50] Kuroo
fair point
omg I remember when boku met aka and i acted like my fckn bro had died
i was such a shithead 2 years ago

[16:51] Me
Your "party boi" phase?

[16:54] Kuroo
fuck ye
the end of it tho thank god
bless akaashi and his angelism
i mean it was fun but for someone who wants to be a fkn lawyer a lot of it was downright stupid
borderline illegal shiz that could have had me never see a courtroom
just dumb
but i hated akaashi
i mean hes beautiful and i wanted to fuck him (bokuto calld dibs) but god i hated him

[16:54] Me
Well, of course, he threatened your important party boi lifestyle.
He stole your best bro and wingman, taking away what you held most dear, your fun times.

[16:55] Kuroo
ugh tsukki u just get me even my dickhead delinquent self lol :D
i was so pissed off u have no idea
i wanted to murder him
and now i love him like family and want them to be happy together 4ever

[16:57] Me
I do actually have an idea of how that feels.
Hinata stole my best friend from me four years ago, or at least that's how my idiotic 17 year old self saw it.
I reacted much the same. I was like a petulant child that had had their favourite toy taken away.
Still embarrassing to think about.
I don't love Hinata (he's no Akaashi) but he makes Yamaguchi happy and that's all that matters.

[17:00] Kuroo
yeh their happiness comes first 3
and then a couple months after them being vomit worthy cute i started to watch them wistfully instead of disgustedly
i want what they have so bad
they're so comfortable with each other u kno
freckles n shrimp been together 4 years? nice
bokuaka just had their 2 yr anivers but they live together and r practically married lol
theyre so cute
tsukkkkiiiii
i want it
i want love and happiness 3333

[17:02] Me
You'll get it Kuroo. Your too kind and caring and together not to.
Anyone would be lucky to have you.

[17:03] Kuroo
TSUKKIIIII OMG
⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄
how can u just say that
lol i say that but u probs retyped a million times out of embarrassment
i would have
ur so beautiful tsukki u say such beautiful things that i dont deserve

[17:06] Me
It wasn't anything special. And you do deserve them.
Also you say far more embarrassing things all the time.

[17:07] Kuroo
omg that took u so long to respond
ur so red rn :D
ok lets stop embarrassing the fuck outta each other
i dont think i can deal with anymore of ur cuteness mr
i have lots of study to do tonite important lawyer shiz
ill talk to u tomorrow because ur super distracting

[17:09] Me
Okay. I should probably be focussing too.
We should talk again soon. Like a phone call talk.

[17:10] Kuroo
uhu u rly like my voice hey tsukki :P
we should defs do that but not when uve just woken up because the sound of ur gruff fucked out sleep voice was like blood straight to my dick
gl with study and tlk later bby 3

[17:10] Me
I really do like your voice.
I'm pretty busy tomorrow but I will respond when I can.
Good luck with the lawyering Tetsurou :)
