Day seven - forgotten birthday.

#tsukishimakeiweek @TsukishimaWeek #bakt

Missed a couple days but ending the week with the goat bokuakakurotsuki.

———

Akaashi woke up being half smushed by his boyfriend bokuto. The half that wasn’t squished was tangled up with his other

Boyfriend kuroo. The only thing that would’ve made it better would be if his /other/ boyfriend Tsukishima was here. Alas, the youngest of them was still living at home for another year while he finished high school. Akaashi himself had just moved in with the older two in the last

Few months, and while it was amazing, he couldn’t wait until they were complete.

He rolled over slightly and grabbed his phone, squinting as he checked the time. It was still early enough bokuto hadn’t gotten up for his morning run. He glanced at the date, shaking his head

Slightly at the fact that it was already October 1st. September flew by. Moving, bokuto’s birthday, tsukishima’s birthday, school, he was almost ready for the holida-oh fuck. He jolted straight up in bed, ignoring bokuto’s mumbled ‘agaashe’ to scroll back through the thread with

His partners. Oh no. No no no this couldn’t be happening. He scrolls from the goodnight messages sent Tuesday night, back to the start of the day. Nothing. They had all forgotten tsukishima’s birthday.

‘You both need to get up right now.’ He shouted, rolling over bokuto to head

To the dresser. ‘C’mon, both of you. Up and dressed.’

He shuffled to the other side of the bed while pulling on his pants to grab Kuroo’s foot and drag him off the bed, the only proven way to wake him up before he woke himself up.

‘Akaassshhiii, what’s wrong?’ Bokuto asked

Rubbing his eyes. He dodged the shirts Akaashi was throwing at them.

‘The next train leaves in 15 minutes and we cannot miss it. Let’s go.’ He kicked the Kuroo shaped lump on the floor as he moved into the bathroom, ignoring the groan it made.

‘I can’t get on the train, I’m

Hanging with tsum-tsum today?’ Bokuto questions, leaning down to help kuroo stand up.

‘Cancel.’ Akaashi hisses back.

‘Akaashi. It’s Saturday. My one lovely day to sleep in. What do you think you’re doing?’ Kuroo steps in front of him, blocking him from leaving the bedroom.

‘Exactly kuroo. It’s Saturday. We have to be on the next train to miyagi.’

‘Why?’

‘Well unless the two of you went to miyagi on the 27th and neglected to tell me.’ Kuroo paused for a second, before diving to the bed to double check the texts just as akaashi had.

‘Oh fuck.

Bo, get up. Oh he’s going to kill us.’ Kuroo has joined in the panic, flinging the blanket from his shoulders to throw on the first shirt he sees from the bed.

‘What am I missing?’ Bokuto asks, looking between the two of them.

‘We forgot tsukki’s birthday.’ They say in

Complete unison.

‘Oh fuck.’

They’re settled on the train, oblivious to the weird looks other passengers are shooting them as they come up with a game plan. Akaashi decides to FaceTime yamaguchi to see what tsukishima’s plans are for the day. He picks up with an

Unimpressed hello.

‘Yamaguchi-kun, thank you for answering my unexpected call. Could you perchance tell us what tsukishima’s plans are? We are trying to surprise him with a visit.’

‘I’m not sure if I should tell you, I’m very disappointed in all three of you.’ He scolds, eyes

Widening slightly as he takes in their haphazard appearance. ‘Ugh fine but only if you promise to bring him a slice of strawberry cake from that new bakery he mentioned. Once practice is done, he’s got a short shift at the bookstore and then we were going to watch movies. I can

Bail if you don’t piss him off.’

‘Thank you, we really owe you.’

‘Yeah you do.’

Kuroo and bokuto have their heads together looking at stores in the mall Tsukishima works at that might have something that they could buy as a gift. Akaashi sighs, laying his head against the

Window as he pulls up the website for the bakery.

They make it to the mall unscathed, akaashi is holding the cake(they bought him a whole cake, not just a slice), kuroo is holding a bag filled with new records that Tsukishima had been talking about buying from the thrift

Store, and bokuto was holding a giant stuffed owl that he insisted Tsukishima would love because it looked just like him(it really did.) The three of them were attempting to scope out the bookstore to ensure no one was around to hear them beg for forgiveness, Tsukishima didn’t

Like a spectacle. When they finally confirmed the store was empty, they strolled inside.

‘Guess who?’ Kuroo asked, trying to sound cool and calm but just coming across a bit too overenthusiastic.

‘Hm, I’m not sure, the voice doesn’t sound familiar.’ He deadpans, not even

Looking up from the book he’s reading. Akaashi shivers as he slowly turns the page, like the three of them aren’t there. Oh he’s mad.

‘Tsukishima, there are no excuses. We’re awful, terrible, we completely understand if you break up with us,’ akaashi blurts out, unable to stop

Himself.

‘Woah hey I’m not okay with that!’ Bokuto shouts.

‘It’s fine, I’m not mad.’ Tsukishima replies, still focusing on his book. ‘Maybe at first but,’ he trails off shrugging.

‘Well you should be mad at us, but not like to the point you wanna dump us. We bought you

Gifts?’ Kuroo offers. Tsukishima reaches for his bookmark and finally looks up at the three of them before he bursts into laughter.

‘What? What’s so funny?’ Bokuto asks, head turning from side to side.

‘Did you even look in the mirror before leaving?’ Tsukishima giggles, ‘you

Guys are a trainwreck. Bo, that’s Kuroo’s shirt, I don’t even know how you fit in that. Kuroo, your pants are literally on backwards. Akaashi, your buttons are not even close to lined up.’

They pause, turning to look at the others before joining in on tsukishima’s laughter.

‘Well, moonshine, are we forgiven?’ Kuroo asks.

‘Depends. When’s your train back?’

‘Tomorrow, if you’ll have us.’ Akaashi replies.

‘Hm not looking like that. My shift isn’t over for another couple hours, take my keys and go change. You should all have spare somethings in

My closet. And the put the cake in the fridge for dinner.’

‘Dessert.’ Kuroo admonishes.

‘Yeah yeah that’s what I said.’

‘Tsukki!! Did you see my bird??’ Bokuto asks, thrusting the stuffed owl in front of his face.

‘It’s lovely bo, you can put it on my bed. Me, you, and

Akaashi can cuddle it tonight.’

‘Tsukki! What about me?’ Kuroo whines.

‘You’ll be on the floor.’ He deadpans back.

As they head to tsukishima’s house, akaashi adds a recurring event to his calendar for each of his boyfriends birthdays.
