I was working all day but it’s still day one here soooo #TsukishimaKeiWeek2022 @TsukishimaWeek day one, sweets and party planning with some #bktsk #bokutsukki !!

Somehow, against all odds, Tsukishima had ended up going to the same university as bokuto. They were in different

Departments but that didn’t stop the older one from spamming the gym three group chat when Tsukishima announced his decision on where he was going. What started as humoring him and letting bokuto give him an (unnecessary) tour around the campus had led to surprisingly nice study

Sessions and a growing friendship between the two. Tsukishima could often be found at a cafe, splitting a slice of strawberry shortcake with bokuto after a long day of classes. He normally wouldn’t indulge in so many sweets, even though he loved strawberry anything, but bokuto

Always insisted they split a slice so he didn’t break his diet too much, and it was hard to resist the puppy dog eyes.

It had been a few months, and Tsukishima knew both bokuto and him had a birthday coming up. He finally got bokuto to agree to not throwing him a party but just

Hanging out at bokuto’s apartment, maybe inviting Kuroo and akaashi over. However, he could tell bokuto was a little sad about the fact that no one had mentioned throwing a party for his own birthday, which was a week or so before tsukishima’s. This is how Tsukishima found

Himself planning a surprise party for bokuto. It was pretty simple, but he thought bokuto deserved the best of the best since he wasn’t planning on inviting as many people as he thought bokuto would like. He even bit the bullet and was asking for akaashi and Kuroo’s advice in a

Secret group chat. He was in the final stages, a few days out from the get together, when he was planning a grocery list for snacks and desserts. Kuroo had insisted on FaceTiming because he ‘knows all of my bros favorite snacks,’ his words.

‘Ok now that you’ve graciously

Approved of the food, can I move on to dessert? A cake because it’s his birthday, and then I was thinking like strawberry cheesecake bites or mini strawberry shortcakes?’

‘Cake yes, make sure it’s chocolate. And veto on the strawberries unless you’re trying to kill him, I know

You’re salty but that’s a bit far tsukki.’ Tsukishima raised his eyebrows.

‘What do you mean kill him?’

‘Oh dude he’s allergic to strawberries, didn’t you know?’

‘No he is not.’

‘Uh yes he is,’ kuroo chuckled, flipping a page in the textbook he was reading. ‘He wouldn’t

Even eat the chocolate part of my neapolitan ice cream because it touched the strawberry at my 16th birthday, I was hurt until he told me he was allergic.’

Tsukishima’s mind was replaying the multiple (multiple!!!) times they had split a slice of strawberry shortcake. What the

Fuck?

‘I gotta go.’ He hangs up as kuroo starts to protest and slams his phone into his bag, does a 180 and walks(read: power walks as fast as you can to not be considered running) to bokuto’s apartment. He buzzes the intercom until bokuto unlocks it and climbs the steps until

He’s face to face with a half asleep bokuto at his door.

‘Tsukki! I didn’t know you were coming over or I wouldn’t have taken a nap,’ he starts rubbing his eyes as he smiles at tsukishima.

‘What do you mean you’re allergic to strawberries?’ He cuts straight to the point.

‘Oh uh you found out?’

‘Thank kuroo. Bokuto, I’ve seen you eat like a pound of strawberries??’

‘Well okay I’m allergic but like barely! It just makes my mouth tingle and go numb sometimes, it’s not a big deal!’

‘Not a big deal??’ He is struggling to keep his voice down

Seeing as they’re still in the doorway. ‘Why did you get the strawberry cake then if chocolate was your favorite?’

‘Why are you and kuroo talking about what kind of cake I like?’ Bokuto questions.

‘Stop dodging my question, why?’ Bokuto sighs dramatically before leaning on

His doorframe.

‘Because I saw how you looked at the cake when we were ordering drinks, and I remembered it was your favorite. But then you said you weren’t going to have dessert but you looked sad, so I just kinda ignored that I couldn’t feel my tongue.’ Tsukishima blinks once,

Twice, before surging forward and pulling bokuto into a kiss, still standing in his doorway.

And that is how Tsukishima got himself a boyfriend, and immediately spoiled said boyfriends surprise party.
