Hmm #bakt #bokuakakurotsuki a/b/o with alpha kuroo and bokuto and omega akaashi and tsukki. This will be mainly sfw and a little angsty but happy ending. Also more of a thought vomit than a well thought out/written thread.

They meet like canon, and practice in the third gym.

Everyone thinks tsukki is a beta cause of scent blockers and suppressants, only yama, ukai&takeda, and dachi know his true status. It’s the last night of the training camp, karasuno is set to head out tomorrow in the early afternoon and the third gym is practicing, but kuroo is

Missing. Tsukki refuses to admit to himself that he’s upset, that he misses kuroo, until he storms in the doors towards the end of the night clearly agitated. Tsukki immediately wants to comfort him but forces himself to hang back, not wanting to weird kuroo out. He’s clearly mad

About something but akaashi and bokuto are skirting around it, and he doesn’t come anywhere near where tsukki and lev are rolling up the net for tsukki to ask him about it. By the time tsukki comes out from putting the net in the equipment room, the three third years are gone.

Hinata says they apologized but had to leave early and the three first years finished cleaning up before dinner.

Bak are no where to be found through the whole meal, and tsukki goes to bed resigned that he missed the last night, maybe ever, to hang out with the three of them.

He doesn’t want to think such negative thoughts but part of his brain is screaming that the three of them clearly didn’t want his company, and it stung so much he couldn’t sleep. After an hour of tossing and turning, the snores of the room were starting to fill him with an

Uncontrollable rage(he’s not dramatic thank you). He decides to make a break for it and get some fresh air. He wanders aimlessly around the hallway by their quarters, before his feet unconsciously drag him towards the hill outside of the third gym. He makes it to the top before

He realizes kuroo is also up there, not looking much calmer than earlier. He steels his nerves and steps out of his comfort zone to ask kuroo what was wrong, but Kuroo dismisses him as nothing being wrong. Tsukki calls his bs but it turns into an argument. Kuroo’s parents were

Mad at him because he was dating another alpha, and they were super traditional. He missed practice because they said they had a family emergency only to surprise kuroo with a blind date with a family friends omega daughter. Tsukki, who has his own messed up family situation,

Tries to sympathize but Kuroo ends up snapping and he tells tsukki

‘What do you know? You’re nothing but a beta, you don’t have the same pressures the rest of us do. You get to go home to your picture perfect family and date whoever you want and honestly, you can fuck off.’

Which admittedly are super harsh words he normally wouldn’t say, and he does end up feeling bad and regretting them as soon as their out but the alpha in him won’t let him apologize so they just sit in a stunned silence for a minute before tsukki just 180s and heads down the hill

Without another word.

Tsukkis moving on autopilot, incredibly upset but trying to hold it together until he finds an empty, unlocked classroom, and plops down in a corner crying. He spends most of the night there, sneaking back in to the room with the rest of karasuno about an

Hour before everyone else starts to wake up. He claims a migraine when the rest of the room has already headed to breakfast and Yama and suga are checking on him. They promise to bring him something light, and leave him alone.

In the breakfast room kuroo feels awful, he’s

Finally calmed down enough he wants to apologize for the way he talked to tsukki last night but he doesn’t show up for breakfast. He’s too ashamed to tell akaashi and bokuto what he said so they just think he’s still mopey from the night before.

Tsukki only leaves the room for

Lunch, but he’s constantly surrounded by yama and yachi and kuroo by bokuto and akaashi and he can’t think of a way to pull him to the side, so by the time karasuno piles onto the bus, kuroo hasn’t even said a word to him. Tsukki assumes it’s because he really meant it when he

Told him to fuck off, and fully expects to never talk to them again.

Until bokuto adds him to two group chats. ‘Third gym!!!!’ With bak and hinata and lev, and ‘og 3rd gym’ with just bak and him. He does reply in the chats, just infrequently and never to something kuroo says.

Nationals come and go, and during the match kuroo and tsukki pretend like nothing happened, and they have the once in a blue moon moment, and tsukki considers that his closure for the crush he had on the alpha.

Time skip to tsukki’s third year, bak are all in college near the

Tokyo area. The third gym group chats are still relatively active, though tsukki and kuroo both never interact with the other. Somehow bokuto and akaashi dont notice, bokuto because he’s thrilled he gets to talk to his three favorite people at once, akaashi because despite being

Generally observant, is technology adverse. He texts like a grandpa who doesn’t know how to work his phone, often being made fun of by the other three. There’s a long weekend coming up and lev and hinata are in the one chat talking about how karasuno is coming up for a mini

Training camp when bokuto suggests they crash it to Kuroo. Kuroo agrees, but akaashi refuses, saying he’s got too much school work to do. Bokuto and kuroo promise to keep it a secret, wanting to surprise everyone. They go after bokuto’s last class on Friday, a few hours before

The teams would break for dinner. The third years are all excited to see them, but they’re scanning the karasuno team and they don’t see tsukki anywhere? They’re in the middle of a match so besides a frantic wave from hinata, they haven’t had a chance to talk to them. Though the

Third years do seem kinda down. Kuroo asks lev and lev says he doesn’t know where tsukki is, and that whenever he tried to ask hinata or tsukki’s one friend, the new captain, they wave off the question and change the subject.

Karasuno finally finishes their match, losing which

Is never a surprise from them, they tend to pull it all together when they get to official matches and they have more than a few first years rotating in and out. One in particular complains about the loss, bragging to his uninterested looking fellow first year that if he had been

The middle blocker the whole time, they would’ve won. Bokuto and kuroo wince, knowing how annoying an overly confident first year is, especially one with a form like this kid had(or, well, lacked.) hinata makes his way over to say hi and the first words out of Kuroo’s mouth are

‘Where’s tsukki?’ And hinata smiles a tight, fake smile before going ‘oh you know. Are you guys staying for dinner and extra practice?’ Kuroo goes ‘if I knew I wouldn’t ask?’ And hinatas smile falters, before he just shrugs and says tsukki couldn’t make it this time before

Pretending like kageyama was calling him and telling bokuto and kuroo to swing by the third gym if they wanted. They do, and them and lev and hinata and one of the first years from karasuno and one from nekoma join them. Kuroo’s secretly glad the karasuno one wasn’t the kid who

Claimed to be their best middle blocker, even though he likes showing off his skills. The kid was a bit much, and when kuroo walked past him he was pumping out alpha pheromones the second he was out of the gym, where it wasn’t allowed. He tried to not judge him too harshly but he

Kinda stunk on top of the foul attitude. The two of them stayed for dinner, and left, telling hinata and lev that they would try to swing by tomorrow and maybe even drag akaashi out. Once they get back to their apartment(the three of them shared), bokuto texts in the third gym

Group.

Bo- ‘tsukki :(((((((((((‘

Tsukki- ‘hm?’

Bo- ‘we crashed extra practice and you weren’t there :((((((((‘

Lev- ‘yah wat did u do? Fail a test??’

Akaashi- ‘Tsukishima-kun would never fail a test. -Akaashi.’

Tsukki- ‘ffs akaashi we know it’s you, stop signing your

Texts. And nope didn’t fail a test.’

Bo- ‘:((( then why?’

Tsukki- ‘I’ve been kicked off the team.’

Bak all audibly gasp at this, kuroo even drops his phone.

Hinata- ‘Tsukishima :( :(‘

Lev- ‘liar no way’

Bokuto is currently spamming what?? No?? What do you mean? You’re

Joking??

Hinata- ‘temporarily!!!!’

Tsukki- ‘no, pretty sure it’s permanently banned.’

Akaashi- ‘Tsukishima-kun, please elaborate. What happened? -Akaashi’

Hinata- ‘no!!! I thought aki was gunna do something??’

Tsukki- ‘him and my grandpa have a meeting at the school tomm,

But I doubt the school board will change their mind lol 🤷🏻‍♀️’

Kuroo- ‘I think Bo’s crying’

Bo- ‘WILL SOMEONE TELL ME WHY MY HEART CANT TAKE THIS’

Hinata- ‘it’s a temporary misunderstanding.’

Tsukki- ‘no, it’s not 🤷🏻‍♀️’

Lev- ‘shrug emoji again and I’ll cum beat u up’

Kuroo- ‘lev…..do not spell come like that.’

Lev- ‘y that’s how Yaku spells it??’

Tsukki- ‘Lmao’

Akaashi- ‘Tsukishima-kun, please take pity on poor Bokuto-san and tell us what happened. -Akaashi’

Tsukki- ‘🙄 new first year was mad he wasn’t starting middle blocker, even tho

He sucked. Told Ukai to make a spot for him cause his parents are hot shots and Ukai said no, so he tried to find a way to get one of the starters out of the way. He found a super old rule book that hadn’t been updated that said omegas couldn’t be in team sports and went to the

Principal 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🤷🏻‍♀️’

Lev- ‘wait i don’t get it y did that get u kicked off?’

Tsukki- ‘maybe because I’m a poor little omega who would break my pooor little omega arms playing with the big bad alphas 😂 😂 ‘

Hinata- ‘Tsukishima :( :(‘

Bak are silent, taking in the new info.

Kuroo remembers the last time they talked one on one and feels sick to his stomach, akaashi can’t believe that this is a real situation, and bokuto is trying to not be pissed enough to go fight this child, while also being super sad tsukki has to deal with this.

Lev- ‘ur not a BETA?? U lied 2 me??’

Tsukki- ‘never said I was, not my fault you assumed.’

Bo- ‘tsukki. I’m coming to your house tomorrow we will have our own training camp!!’

Tsukki- ‘uh no you’re not. That’s a three hour train ride and literally who’s to say I can play on

The team again anyways?’

Hinata- ‘Tsukishimaaaaaaa :(:(:(‘

Akaashi- ‘Tsukishima-kun, please let the three of us come to you tomorrow. Even if we cannot help you get back on the team, please let us help you keep your skills sharp for university. -Akaashi’

Tsukki- ‘I really do

Appreciate the offer you two, but im not just sitting moping this weekend away.’

He attaches a picture of a local university gym where he’s practicing with a few of the university players. Kuroo who’s still reeling from the entire conversation almost loses it when he looks

Closely at the picture. No. Nuh uh. He hits tsukki’s number to call him and redials when he gets ignored. He’s sent to voicemail again and his hackles are raised!

Kuroo- ‘tsukki answer your phone.’

Tsukki laugh reacts to his message and replies ‘no 🤷🏻‍♀️’

Kuroo tries again and

When he ignores him, again, grabs bokuto’s phone to face time him. Tsukki answers bokuto’s call and is met with a disgruntled Kuroo.

‘So you’ll answer bokuto and not me?’

‘Yes. Bokuto is my friend, you are not.’

Akaashi and bokuto both flinch at the tone of tsukki’s voice,

Taken aback by his icy words. When did this happen?

‘Tell me you are not practicing with that /snake/ daishou suguru.’ Kuroo hisses.

‘Oh, do you know each other?’ Tsukki feigns ignorance.

‘He’s a snake and a cheat and he doesn’t deserve to look at you.’

Akaashi and bokuto

See this convo going downhill fast and try to intervene but before either one can succeed, tsukki’s yelling ‘oi, suguru. You still wanna take me out tonight?’ He angles the phone so the three of them can see daishous head snap up, before nodding. ‘It’s a date.’ Tsukki smiles at

The phone before continuing. ‘I’m going to hang up now, and go shower before I go out with the so called snake. Bye. Oh wait, bokuto?’

‘Uh yeah?’ Bokuto is frozen, kuroo is seething, and akaashi is frowning.

‘The next time I purposely ignore Kuroo’s calls, and you let him use

Your phone like the leech that he is, I’ll block both of your numbers.’ Tsukki hangs up after that. Kuroo has completely deflated, his insecurities of being a third wheel with bokuto and akaashi brought to the surface by tsukki’s words. Bokuto can tell by looking at him that he’s

Probably on the verge of tears.

‘That was unnecessarily cruel of him,’ akaashi frowns. He knows what tsukki is dealing with is awful, but he didn’t like the way he took it out on kuroo for seemingly no reason. He cares for the three of them, pretty equally, but with Kuroo

Right in front of him upset and heading to lay down, it’s easy for akaashi to take Kuroo’s side. Bokuto shoots off a text just to tsukki telling him he knows he’s probably upset, but that he can talk to any of them whenever he needs to. Tells him that he hopes he’s okay and that

He is going to call him in the morning no matter what to check in on him because they’re friends, and friends do that, before he also heads to Kuroo’s room to lay down with the other two to comfort kuroo. They all doze off.

Meanwhile in miyagi, tsukki is blinking back angry

Tears because how dare Kuroo act like he cared. What now that he knew he wasn’t a beta suddenly he was the boss of him? Daishou asks if he’s okay, and he nods but asks for a rain check. He grabs his stuff, waving goodbye to the few people he knew who invited him to practice,

Agreeing to be there tomorrow. On the way back to akiteru’s apartment, where he’s staying, his phone buzzes again. It’s a text from akaashi.

‘Tsukishima-kun, I know you’re going through a tough time but you do not need to take it out on Kuroo-san. He is my friend, and you hurt

His feelings. I hope you can be more considerate in the future. -akaashi.’

Tsukki’s pissed, because first kuroo and now akaashi?

Tsukki- ‘glad to see the way you worded that implied Kuroo was your friend and not me. Good to see where I stand.’

Akaashi- ‘Tsukishima-kun, I did

Not say that you weren’t my friend. Just that you should not be unnecessarily mean to kuroo who has done nothing wrong, but is now the one upset. -akaashi’

Tsukki- ‘I told him the truth. He’s made it clear to me before that me and him aren’t friends, and finding a way to

Contact me when I told him I didn’t want to talk to him was invasive. Also, you can say that you didn’t say that all you want, but bokuto and even /lev/ reached out to me to see if I was okay, but your only concern is poor kuroo, so your words don’t mean much. Goodnight.’

Tsukki turns his phone off, pulling his futon down from where it was stored and laying it on the floor in akiteru’s living room before collapsing into it. He knows akiteru will be rolling in soon with their grandpa, who will be sleeping in akiteru’s room and Aki will take the

Couch next to tsukki, so he rolls over and tries to calm himself down. He doesn’t want to be crying again when they get in.

Meanwhile akaashi heads back into kuroos room to see Kuroo and bokuto awake. Kuroo decides he should probably explain himself and tells them what he said

To tsukki two years ago, and how he never apologized. Akaashi is like what the fuck now I feel awful and shows them his convo with tsukki, and kuroo is like oh god this is literally all my fault?? And bokuto is like I can fix it. He calls hinata who is half awake but hands the

Phone to yama, who is surprised to hear that tsukki told them what was going on. Apparently he was taking it pretty hard, and was dealing with it by ignoring it or making jokes. Bokuto says he’s going to visit tsukki for the next two days but needs his address cause it’s a

Surprise and yama is like you can go but his grandpa had to fly in and he’s been staying with his brother so they might not have room for bokuto to stay over and bokuto’s like it’s fine, I’ll get a motel for the night.

So bokuto wakes up at 6 am and gets on a train. Akaashi

Tells him to please convince tsukki to call him so he can apologize but stays with Kuroo who refuses to show his face to tsukki.

Tsukki gets a call from his brother that the meeting with the principal didn’t go as well as they hoped, but they were stopping by the grandpas

Lawyers office to talk options and would be back later. Tsukki gets off the phone with them, trying to tell himself that he’s done crying, he’s not going to be upset over stupid volleyball anymore, when there’s a knock on the door. He opens it and there’s bokuto, and tsukki

Loses it and starts crying and bokuto panics thinking it’s him and apologizes but tsukki just tells him to shut up and hugs him and they move inside, and bokuto holds him on the couch as he cries and explains the call.

‘Maybe grandpa Tsukishima’s lawyer can help? That’s gotta

Be like discrimination.’

‘It’s my moms dad, he’s not a Tsukishima. But maybe.’

‘Oh! Maybe grandpa tsukki’s moms dad’s lawyer can help.’

‘Maybe.’

‘Does he like. Have his own lawyer?’

‘Yeah. My mom and him live back in France because of her health, but he has a business

Over here. The lawyer helps him take care of it while he’s away.’

‘Ooh are you guys like rich?’

‘That’s rude to ask,’ tsukki laughs.

‘Maybe. My parents are rich, or that’s what everyone says. I don’t really get money.’

‘Remind me to become your accountant, I can embezzle

Money and you probably wouldn’t notice.’

‘Tsukki, you can have as much of my money as you want?’ Bokuto says this so seriously tsukki is almost speechless.

‘My moms side is…well off. But her and my dad divorced when I was young, and he’s had custody since then because of

Her health. Any money that might’ve been sent to us for her, he took for himself. He opened a bunch of cards in aki-niis name, maxed them out. It’s why aki has a super tiny apartment.’

‘That’s awful. Is that why you’re staying here?’

‘No, I’m here cause he was trying to set me

Up with some rich alpha asshole, like I was nothing but fucking livestock to be sold off to the highest bidder,’ tsukki scoffs.

‘Tsukki, that’s awful.’ Tsukki shrugs, and the two of them continue to cuddle on the couch(they are not cuddling?? Tsukkis brain argues) for a bit

Longer before bokuto drags tsukki to the park to play some one on one. Bokuto pays for a quick lunch, and tsukki texts aki that he’s going to practice some more at the university where bokuto joins him. He also pays for dinner before cursing, remembering that he was supposed to

Look for a vacant motel before it got too late. Tsukki insists he stays at akis, tells him he can have the futon and tsukki can curl up in the chair. They argue about who will get the chair until they get back. Aki tells them that their grandpa felt bad about encroaching and

Got himself a motel to stay at despite akiteru’s protests, and that bokuto can have his bed but bokuto’s like nah you have your bed and I’ll sleep on the couch and akiteru’s like uh I’m not letting an alpha sleep in the same room as my omega baby brother and tsukki is like I will

Murder you if you reduce me to my secondary gender again?? So he relents. They have to whisper because the walls are super thin but eventually bokuto remembers akaashi wants to apologize and with some convincing, and explaining that kuroo never told them what happened before

Tsukki texts akaashi ‘I will consider your apology. Please give me one week to come to a conclusion on if it’s accepted or not.’ Akaashi replies with ‘Tsukishima-kun, thank you for the chance. I will patiently await your decision. -akaashi.’ And tsukki replies ‘I will immediately

Reject it if you do not stop texting like you’re writing me a letter, ffs you’re not 80.’ And akaashi replies ‘I will do my best.’(kuroo had to wrestle the phone from him to erase the -akaashi from the end of the message.) The next day, bokuto and tsukki just wander the town, not

(More coming later gotta do things irl)

Mentioning the way they had woken up. Halfway through the night, bokuto had rolled off of the couch and ended up curled around tsukki. Tsukki woke up with his face buried in bokuto’s neck. He knows he should roll away but he’s so comfy, and his week has been so shitty he indulges

And snuggles in closer. It’s not until bokuto woke up, asking if someone was making strawberry pancakes that he acted annoyed. Shoved his hand into bokuto’s face to push him away, telling him no but his scent patches had worn off. Bokuto was shocked pikachu face and tsukki

Called him an octopus, before wiggling out of his arms.

Tsukki takes him to some of his normal haunts, the cafe for breakfast, the bookstore he frequents, the sports store so bokuto didn’t get bored. Bokuto’s phone rings with a message from kuroo, asking if tsukki was willing

To consider his apology like he was with akaashi or how he could make it up to him, and tsukki tells bokuto to tell him that tsukki doesn’t care for the timing of kudos apology so no. Try again in 7-10 business days. Kuroo sets an alarm on his phone on the 7th business day.

Bokuto and tsukki get lunch, and then head back to the apartment to get bokuto’s things. Tsukkis grandpa is there, and him and aki press bokuto to stay for dinner, his grandpas treat. They go out and spend half of the meal trying to embarrass tsukki(it works for him, he’s

Plotting akis murder) but bokuto is just happy to learn anything about tsukki. Tsukki walks bokuto to the train station, and surprises both of them when he initiates the hug before bokuto boards. Bokuto’s so shocked he doesnt hug back at first, but when tsukki goes to pull away

Bokuto jumps into action, squishing him in his arms, spinning him around as tsukki tries to act mad but can’t stop laughing. He leaves, and tsukki texts him a thanks for coming down. Bokuto texts back ‘anytime!! Tell me how Monday goes asap!!’

Bokuto get back to the apartment

To find kuroo and akaashi sulking in the living room. He calls them dramatic before ordering take out and curling up with them on the couch to watch a movie.

Monday comes and bokuto is anxiously scrubbing the kitchen when kuroo and akaashi get home. They question him and he

Tells them that tsukki’s grandpa/lawyer/brother were supposed to meet with the principal and the kids parents today and tsukki hasnt reached out to him yet and he was super nervous.

Finally bokuto’s phone rings and it’s tsukki.

Bo- ‘tsukki!! Why didn’t you call me??’

Tsukki- ‘what do you think I’m doing right now?’

Bo- ‘I said asap that means like as soon as possible!’

Akaashi in the background- ‘bokuto-san please calm down you’re shaking the whole table’

Tsukki- ‘sorry, some of us don’t have all day to laze around the house’(teasing)

Bo- ‘I had two classes today!!’

Tsukki- ‘yeah, and I had 8 hours of classes and also two hours of volleyball practice.’

Bo- ‘you’re back on the team???!!!’

Kuroo in the background- ‘ow fuck Bo watch out that food was hot!’ As bokuto jumps up and knocks his plate onto kuroo

Tsukki- ‘yeah. Turns out the kids dad works for my grandpas company so the second he saw him he made his kid quit the team completely. But the lawyer still pressured the principal and he’s working with the board to rewrite the policies so it doesn’t happen again.’

Bo- ‘tsukkiiiii that’s amazing! Maybe once you’ve forgiven akaashi and kuroo we can all come down!’

Tsukki- ‘hm we’ll see. I don’t think akis place can hold all of you.’

Kuroo from the background- ‘why doesn’t he just come up here?’

Tsukki- ‘hey bokuto, push kuroo for me?’

Kuroo- ‘bo what the fuck???’

Tsukki, laughing- ‘maybe in a few weeks I can save enough to come to you guys.’

They chat for a bit until tsukki gets on his train to his brothers apartment and tells them goodnight.

Tsukki starts replying to Kuroo in the group chats, and a week

After tsukki accepts akaashis apology(and apologizes himself for being equally snappy back), tsukki texts kuroo telling him to tell him sorry face to face and he would be forgiven.

He ends up going to Tokyo after bokuto sends him a preloaded card for the train, with enough

Passes on it that tsukki could go back and forth from Tokyo to miyagi every weekend for the rest of his third year.

He gets there only for the three of them to realize they did not think of where everyone would sleep and they all keep volunteering their rooms for tsukki and

He’s like y’all are the adults here and I have to come up with a real solution? Me and Bo can share a bed. And kuroo and akaashi are like uh no you cannot and tsukki’s like you’re not my boss yes we can. Unless you don’t want to, and makes puppy dog eyes at bokuto who is like

He’s sleeping in my bed no arguments. And akaashi is like well fine then I’m sleeping in Kuroo’s bed. And when tsukki tries to call him out on what kind of logic is that?? He just storms into the living room. The four of them eat junk food and watch shitty movies and play Mario

Party/kart. Akaashi is somehow worse at video games than he is at texting and tsukki only loses one round of Mario kart because he’s too busy laughing at akaashi who is somehow going in reverse and can’t figure out how to turn around to notice kuroo sneak around him. After that

Akaashi’s washes his hands of games, and says he’s going to bed because it’s late, and he suggests they all follow suit. Bokuto goes to get ready first, leaving just tsukki and kuroo in the living room.

Kuroo finally apologizes for what he said two years ago, and how he’s acted

Since then. Tsukki tells him he accepts his apology and is also sorry for hurting Kuroo’s feelings. He says that he isn’t going to lie and say it wasn’t his intentions, because it was, but that didn’t make it okay and he was sorry. They talk, a heartfelt convo about their family

Situations and agree to work to be better friends. Bokuto comes back out to let tsukki get ready for bed. They go to bed, and the second bokuto lays down tsukki clings to him like a koala, squinting at Bo and going ‘they’ll never believe you.’ Before falling asleep.

Saturday is spent playing volleyball at bokuto and Kuroo’s college gym, and then going out at night. Tsukki tricks kuroo into buying him a few drinks and the four of them are drunk when they get back to the apartment. Kuroo and akaashi end up hooking up, while bo and tsukki

Make out, but like tenderly. Sunday, bokuto tells the other two that he’s hogging tsukki and they go get breakfast, and on the walk through the park on the way back to the train station, bokuto asks tsukki to court him. Tsukki says ew no but you can date me. I’ll be your

Boyfriend, not your future omega or whatever and bokuto’s like deal?? Cause he didn’t know there was a difference but tsukki is adamant there is. Bokuto says as long as I can do this, then I’m happy and leans in to kiss him. It’s v romantic.

Tsukki goes home, and when bokuto

Tells akaashi and kuroo that they’re dating, they’re both a weird mix of fomo and also happy for the two of them.

Akaashi and kuroo start out as a fwb situation but eventually end up dating as well.

When it’s time for tsukki to go to school, he heads to Tokyo and move in

With the three of them. He ignores his brothers protest about moving in with his boyfriend too young, telling aki if he doesn’t shut up he’s giving their grandpa saekos number. (Aki had yet to introduce the two.) tsukki and bokuto share a room and akaashi and kuroo share a room,

And the third room that used to be kuroos(who moved into akaashi’s room) is turned into just a spare bedroom for guests or if someone needs some space.

As time progresses the four of them grow closer and closer. Their friends have a hard time telling who’s dating who, but the

Four of them never acknowledge that they’re closer than normal roommates. Akaashi is constantly doting on tsukki, bringing him extra desserts and he insists he gets to be the one to wrap and inspect tsukki’s fingers after a volleyball match. Bokuto and kuroo flirt constantly,

Using cheesy pick up lines on the other one but genuinely blushing. Kuroo and tsukki touch each other unconsciously. Tsukki holds kuroos hand when they sit next to each other, Kuroo’s hands almost immediately find their way to tsukki’s hips, at parties, when they’re cooking next

To each other, or walking down the street. There are bets going on when the four of them are going to just get together, or finally announce that they’ve been together this whole time. But the four of them honestly don’t spare it a second thought, even though they’re not like

That with any of their other friends.

It’s not until one evening when tsukki’s in pre-heat. He doesn’t have them often because of the medicine he takes, but he does have at least one a year, sometimes two depending on what the doctor recommends. He hates them, hates the way

They make him feel sticky and uncomfy in his own skin. It’s not that he’s opposed to sex, just the lack of control and the entire thing is overwhelming. He gets super grumpy and irritable before them, and this time he has super bad cramps and is laying on the couch, miserable.

Kuroo is the first one home and he’s hit with tsukki’s pheromones the second he opens the door.

‘Moonshine?’ He calls out as he steps in, to find tsukki sprawled out, surrounded by a blanket he stole off of Kuroo and akaashi’s bed. It looks like he’s only wearing one of

Bokuto’s giant shirts, and the scent patches he started the day off with were tossed on the floor. He sniffles as Kuroo gets closer.

‘Hey. What’s wrong?’ Kuroo asks as he threads his fingers through tsukki’s bangs, already starting to dampen with sweat.

‘Hurts.’ Tsukki gasps

Out, wriggling in the blanket.

‘I’m sorry baby. Do you want me to call Bo? Tell him to ditch class early?’

‘No. It’s not a full blown heat yet, just cramps.’ He whines as another one shoots through him, tilting his face and nuzzling kuroos hand with it.

‘Ok. Lemme get a

Heating pad.’ Kuroo heads to the closet to grab it, stopping in his room long enough to change into sweats and an old t-shirt. He pads back into the living room to plug the heating pad in and hands it to tsukki who snatches it and presses it to his stomach. He chuckles and goes

To leave to get a glass of water and maybe some ibuprofen when tsukki whines and reaches out to grab his arm.

‘Moonshine?’ He asks.

‘Where are you going?’ The way tsukki’s words are starting to slur mean his heat is coming quicker than he wants to let on. Kuroo explains what

He was about to grab but tsukki shakes his head no. ‘Don’t want it. Just cuddle with me. Please.’

None of them knew how powerful tsukki’s puppy dog eyes were, but they shouldn’t have been surprised with him being the younger brother. They were even better than bokuto’s, none

Of them could say no. Kuroo slides under tsukki, letting the blonde snuggle in and get comfortable on his chest. The heating pad is moved to lay on tsukki’s lower back.

‘Tetsu?’

‘Hmm?’ Kuroo tries to ignore the jump of his heart whenever tsukki calls him tetsu.

‘Can we

Scent each other?’

‘You sure?’ He raises his eyebrows, normally tsukki doesn’t want any of them to scent him.

‘Please.’

‘Yeah. Yeah okay.’

And that’s how Bo and akaashi find them, curled on the couch, tsukki purring as he rubs the gland on his neck against Kuroo’s.

Bokuto thanks kuroo for helping tsukki, asking tsukki if he wants to go to bed. Tsukki demands five more minutes with kuroo and bokuto and akaashi grab some snacks and gatorades to put in their room for when his heat fully kicks in. Tsukki finally relents and let’s bokuto carry

Him away, but tells akaashi that he better scent him after his heats done. (Akaashi immediately agrees, he’s only ticked kuroo got home before him so he wasn’t in his place.)

When akaashi and kuroo head to bed, akaashi breathes in deep.

‘You smell like strawberries.’

‘Shit,

Sorry. I can go shower.’ Kuroo moves to take off the shirt that was soaked in tsukki’s scent, but akaashi stops him.

‘No.’ Akaashi pushes kuroo into their bed, man handling him until akaashis neck is pressed against him, the two of them sharing tsukki’s scent between them.

‘Tetsurou.’

‘Hm?’

‘I think. I think I like Tsukishima-kun.’

‘Yeah. Me too. And Bo.’

‘Yeah, and bokuto-san. When Tsukishima-kun is out of his heat, we have to tell them.’

‘Deal, but babe, you gotta drop the honorifics if we’re gunna confess.’

‘And what?? Am I supposed

To call them by their first names suddenly??’ Akaashi pulls back and his face is bright red.

‘Babe. You were literally spoon feeding him breakfast the other morning, I’m pretty sure you can call him kei.’

They end up waiting a few days after tsukki’s heat is over before

Planning a big dinner. They’re going to confess over dessert but akaashi has been panicking over the idea of using their first names that the second they sit down and tsukki asks what the occasion is, akaashi says ‘we just wanted to make you dinner, Kei.’ Not realizing what he

Said until bokuto squeaks and tsukki turns a grinning face to him going ‘/oh?/‘ and kuroo groans, and akaashi cracks and spills his guts. It’s a long ramble that is only cut off by tsukki leaning in mid sentence and kissing akaashi quiet. Tsukki and bokuto had been discussing

The same thing, apparently tsukki mid-heat tried to go confess then and there but bokuto made him wait to be sure. Tsukki pouts that they didn’t tell him before his heat which makes akaashi sputter at the idea of sharing heats with tsukki, and Kuroo’s pouting that akaashi got

Kissed and he didn’t.

‘Bro, I’ll kiss you?’

‘Aw bro,’ Kuroo and bokuto kiss and tsukki boos, throwing napkins at them until Kuroo breaks the kiss to call him a little shit, and chases him around the kitchen before he catches him, pulling him into a kiss of his own. Meanwhile

Akaashis climbed into bokuto’s lap and the two of them are watching kuroo and tsukki practically make out in the kitchen.

‘Well there goes the meal I slaved over,’ akaashi complains, as tsukki breaks away from kuroo long enough to say

‘Honestly keiji, if you cooked it, I

Don’t think we should eat it anyways.’ Akaashi is too smitten by being called keiji to yell at tsukki for insulting his food. Kuroo, who was actually the one who cooked it, shoos tsukki back to his seat and demands they eat dinner like civilized humans. (This works until dessert

Where akaashi immediately starts sneaking tsukki bites of his plate after kuroo told him he couldn’t have seconds or the coach would kill them.)

They live happily ever after the end !!!!
