Someday

It wasn't long until Kuroo's phone started ringing from its spot on the floor and he answered it with a sigh. "Mm?" He hummed flatly.

"Ah, Kuroo-san,"

Kuroo raised an eyebrow. "Uh, this isn't Tsukishima,"

"No, it's me his friend Yamaguchi,"

"Oh, freckles. Uh, why are you calling?" Kuroo's confusion, and slight amusement, only grew at the fact Yamaguchi was clearly running away from Tsukki, his voice audible in the background.

"Tadashi! Give me my phone back!"

"I just wanted to tell you Tsukki was just being rude, him and Daishou are only friends," Yamaguchi pulled the phone away from his ear to yell to Tsukishima. "Because he has standards!"

"Tadashi I swear to god!"

"So sorry if what he said upset you, he didn't mean to and he's just too proud to apologise-"

"Tadashi!!"

"I'll give it back if you apologise!"

"Fine mum!" The sounds of running stopped and from the clarity of both Tsukishima and Yamaguchi's voices, Kuroo figured he was on speakerphone. Tsukishima sighed. "Sorry for being a dick. Couldn't resist." He deadpanned.

Kuroo gave a half chuckle. "You wound me. And it's fine, who you kiss is your business, I just, never expected your first kiss of all, to be with Daishou,"

"Oh don't worry." Yamaguchi chimed in.

"Mm. Koushi was my first kiss."

"Like I said, Tsukki has standards."

Tsukishima hummed in agreement. "Like I said, I was being a douche. I don't just kiss anybody. Sides, if Daishou and I had anything going on aside from being friends, at most it'd be friends with benefits. We're both assholes so we get along, but he's too underhanded for me to like in any other way. He can be nice when he wants to, don't get me wrong, but he's too.... straight. He's bi but with a definite pref towards girls. Ew."

Kuroo laughed loudly. "Okay, fair enough."

"Mm."

"Oh!" Yamaguchi said suddenly.

"What's on your mind Yams?"

Tsukki snorted at the nickname as Yamaguchi chuckled. "Tsukki's going to Tokyo to visit him-"

"Tadashi!" Came the scandalized retort followed by Tsukki attempting to take the phone from Tadashi once more.

"And you seem to not like Daishou as much as I do so can you look after Tsukki for me?"

He chuckled. "Of course-"

"Sweet okay, thanks Kuroo-san bye." was the rushed reply he got before the call ended.

Kuroo looked at his phone before shaking his head, chuckling. "What an interesting set of guys."

Friday quickly rolled around and found Kei climbing off the train at the Tokyo train station, adjusting his bag on his back and his light teal scarf to cover his ears, mouth and nose, keeping the cool Tokyo air from nipping at his nose. Donning a yellow sweatshirt/shirt, mostly covered by the scarf and a form fitting black coat with a large collar and sleeves that stopped just above his wrist, exposing the bottom of his shirt's sleeves, white skinny jeans and a pair of black boots, Tsukki took to the streets of Tokyo.

...

Only to promptly run into the one and only Kuroo Tetsurou. The slightly shorter male let a grin spread across his lips. "Oh ho ho~? Tsukki, what a delightful surprise."

Kei rolled his eyes at him. "How long have you been waiting here?" he sighed, voice muffled by the scarf.

"All day." He sighed dramatically. "Because I would wait forever for you."

Kei gave him a pointed look. "Are you really as stupid as you look?"

Kuroo made an offended sound as Tsukki continued walking. "Hey, I'm kidding, geez Tsukki-"

"Tsukishima."

"and I just wanted to make sure you didn't get lost and freeze to death before Daishou can bore you to death. Look at you, already so cold." He said, gesturing to Kei's hands buried deep in his pocket and the scarf covering his ears, nose, mouth and neck completely.

The younger male rolled his eyes. "Yeah yeah. Now are you going to talk my ear off any longer or do what you came here for?"

Kuroo wiggled his eyebrows at him. "Spicy child. You got his address?"

Kei mock gasped. "And here I thought you knew where we were going."

"I know Tokyo, I don't know where the snake lives. Now come on, cough it up."

Kei gave him Daishou's address and let Kuroo lead the way, despite having been to Daishou's house plenty of times and knowing the way there well. The walk there was filled with chatter, mostly banter, with Kuroo joking, teasing and needling Kei and the blonde giving back snarky replies as they fell into an easy rhythm. Daishou's house soon came into view and Kuroo insisted on walking Kei to the door. "Well thanks I guess."

Kuroo gave him a thumbs up. "Gotta look out for the little ones."

"I'm only two years younger than you."

"Damn. That really makes me feel old."

Kei stared at him flatly, looking even more unimpressed when Kuroo patted his shoulder. 

"Also, Akaashi and Bokuto are having a party Saturday or Sunday evening, if you're keen to escape Daishou." He said, casually putting a hand on the door behind Tsukki, the younger male basically trapped

"Thanks. But I'm sure I'll be fine."

Kuroo smirked slightly. "If you say so. But you've got my number," he said, leaning into Kei's personal bubble and Kei was thankful for the scarf covering up the blush he was sure must be forming from the way his skin was heating up. He pushed off the door and stood back, shoving his hands back in his pockets. "I'll see you later Tsukki." He grinned before hopping off the the three steps that lead to Daishou's door and walking off, leaving a dumbfounded Tsukki feeling numb from reasons other than the cold.

Shaking his head, he turned and knocked on the door, surprised at himself for also actually considering Kuroo's party proposal.
