Cats and stars
People thought they had their soulmate all figured out, especially Tsukishima, Yamaguchi, Kuroo, and Kenma. They knew their soulmate was their childhood friend and that the marking didn't show up because well, they've talked before the tattoos, which was rare.
However everything went down the drain when Kuroo and Tsukishima talked for the first time, right after their first practice game
Tsukishima watched the small ginger haired boy jump around, talking with a member of Team Nekoma. He couldn't understand a word they were saying, as they described everything as sounds. "What the hell are they saying?"
A boy with his black hair all tossed around due to his bed head, hours later, stood next to him. Tsukishima knew he was the captain of Nekoma, Kuroo if he was right. "They don't sound like highschoolers at all, you on the other hand, maybe need to go a little crazier."
The two felt shocks ago through their bodies, and grimaced in pain. It felt like someone just hit them in the chest. Both teams watched them in shock, Kai and Yamaguchi ran over to stand by them, comforting them until slowly Tsukishima stood up, pulling out his arm to look at it. Right where he felt the electricity start sat a perfect and simple black model of the atom, turning to Kuroo as he stared in confusion at a moon in the same spot and style.
Kenma came over cautiously, jumping in shock. Yamaguchi couldn't take his eyes off Tsukishima's wrist. Surprise and confusion riddled only only his face, but all of theirs. They were wrong.
The two slowly started to get along, meeting up for months after the marking to try and figure out why. Kuroo seemed to fall first.
Then one day, after many, many practice games, with many teams, it was finally time for a barbecue
Yamaguchi got a plate of food and stood by Tsukishima, knowing he hadn't eaten a lot. He tried to offer some only to get turned down with the excuse that "he wasn't hungry"
Daichi came over, holding a large plate of food, his cheeks stuffed. "Tsukishima, eat some more food." Yamaguchi thanked the stars as he had a plate of food. Daichi wouldn't bring any attention to him.
He wasn't the only one to come over to harass Tsukki, Bokuto and Kuroo did as well. "You too Kenma!"
Yamaguchi glaced at the blonde boy sitting beside the steps as he shaked his head. It was kinda cute. Yamaguchi put his plate down the steps carefully.
Tsukishima looked at him, obviously questioning the brunette's actions. "Yamaguchi what are you doing?"
Yamaguchi grabbed Tsukishima by the arms and forced him to stand. He pushed him towards Kuroo with a smile."Spend some time with your soulmate will you?" He didn't think that word would hurt so much to say. "He's graduating this year, so go eat with him."
Tsukki looked like he had been given to the wolves
"Have fun Kuroo."
"Thanks freckles." Kuroo sounded almost giddy, he gave one final glare to his childhood friend before dragging the blonde away to the grill.
Yamaguchi began to slowly eat his food in peace, well if his brain wasn't working a mile a minute. He really did that. Tsukishima really wasn't his soulmate. Tsukishima would leave him forever fo-
His thoughts were cut off by a familiar noise. He turned to Kenma slightly, looking down at the psp in the boy's hand. Kenma was playing something, and while Yamaguchi felt like he knew the game, he couldn't remember its name. Maybe he should ask.
Would kenma want to talk to him?
Tsukki talked to him, having met him with Kuroo to see if he was also his soulmate, some people had more than one so it was of course a question. He knew Kenma didn't like to talk to people, but he knew how Hinata liked to rant about Kenma and how much he liked his games. Maybe he would be okay if it was about the game. "Just remember, be respectful, he's older than you" Yamaguchi thought, putting his plate down again. He turns towards him slightly, probably staying out of the other's sight.
"uh Kenma-san," Yamaguchi watched as his head turned slowly, signaling that he heard him. "What game are you playing? I recognize it, but I can't remember the name."
Kenma was blunt in his answer, his voice quiet and calm. "It's Persona 3."
There was the clank of something hitting the ground and a cry of pain, at the same time. People turned to the stairs, staring at the two boys doubled over their own laps in pain. Yamaguchi let out a shaking cry, while Kenma let out a whine. Suddenly Daichi and Suga were holding Yamaguchi as he shook in pain, while Yaku and Kai tried to comfort Kenma without getting him too panicked.
Kuroo and Tsukishima stood there, frozen in shock. They were just about to come back with food, Kuroo even getting food for Kenma. Now they watched the two doubled over in pain. They always said the soulmate marking hurt more with a broken heart, but no one believed it, now they had to.
Kenma lifted his head slowly, panting. He was exhausted and his whole body was shaking from the shock. He turned to look at Yamaguchi slightly, only to see him talking to Suga and Daichi, a simple, black perfect cat face tattooed underneath his right eye. He reached up to same spot, knowing there was something there. Yamaguchi turned him slowly, staring between his fingers at the perfect star.
