What if #bakt soulmate angst au where when your soulmate touches you for the first time, a mark is left on the parts of the skin that make contact. Most peoples hands are decorated with swirls of their soulmate tattoos, because of handshakes. Sometimes it’s someone’s fingers and
Their partners arm where they gently grasped their elbow to stop them from stepping onto the street too early.
Kuroo’s parents were soulmates, and divorced because they fell out of love. Tsukkis parents were soulmates, but his dad died young, shortly after he was born and he’s
watched his mother suffer from the loss his entire life. Neither of them wants to be with their soulmate, they hope they never find them. (Until they meet each other, but when nothing blooms where their arms clack together as they block, they both can’t stop the disappointment
From swirling through their veins.)
Bokuto’s parents are soulmates, and his mothers love each other so much. Akaashis parents aren’t soulmates, set up in an arranged marriage for business reasons and his home life is very cold, detached. Every time he goes to Bokuto’s, he’s
Amazed by the love his family have. They both desperately want to find their soulmates. (Again, the first time bokuto high fives akaashi and neither of them wakes up with the telltale soulmate marks, they both take months to get over it.)
Eventually, they end up accepting their
Fates, that none of them are the others soulmates. Bokuto and tsukki bond over classes, both of them on the same circuit of college volleyball, and they start dating. Bokuto tells tsukki that they don’t need to be soulmates for him to love tsukki. Akaashi and kuroo bond over late
Night train rides home from work in Tokyo, grabbing late night ramen before falling into each others beds. They aren’t soulmates either, but after a few months they can’t deny their love for each other.
They end up reconnecting, all four of them, after the all star game Kuroo
Sets up. Bokuto insists they all go out to dinner, because akaashi and kuroo are his best friends even if they haven’t talked in what feels like an eternity. It’s awkward at first, Akaashi realizing his feelings for bokuto hadn’t gone away, just settled in next to his love for
Kuroo. He consoles himself with the fact that at least bokuto is with tsukki, if he could pick anyone else to be with him it would be tsukki hands down. Kuroo falls right back into flirting with tsukki, who snarks back but inside his heart is pounding. Only bokuto sees what’s
Really happening here, so in tune with his emotions after years and years of practice stabilizing himself, so he pretends to fuck up the hotel reservations he had gotten, pretends him and tsukki have no where to sleep for the night. Tsukki grumbles, says he’s going to start
Looking online. Kuroo, catching on to Bo’s scheming, grins and insists they crash at his and akaashi’s place. They don’t have a spare room, but they have a giant living room and they can spread out the futons and blankets and it’ll be like a sleepover, like old times at v ball
Camp but with all of them in the same room.
They agree and end up crashing, all four of them, sprawled on the living room floor.
It goes bokuto tsukki akaashi Kuroo but they’re sprawled so much they are all touching each other. Kuroo’s arm thrown across akaashis waist and
Gripped around tsukki’s hand, his ankle wrapped around Bo’s. Bo’s got his arm under tsukki’s head, tsukki’s hair acting as a buffer but the skins brushing his shoulder, and his fingers rest on akaashi’s shoulder as well. Tsukkis side is pressed against akaashi’s, their shirts
Raised enough that their hips are pressed together skin to skin.
Tsukkis the first to wake up, an early riser due to his shifts at the museum. He notices it first, the flowers blooming all over his body. A hand for Kuroo, a hip for akaashi, a shoulder for Bo. He thought, after
Years of refusing any talk of soulmates, he would panic, but instead all he feels is a swell of relief. The calm of knowing finally, finally this is right.
Bo wakes up next, and stands and stumbles to the bathroom after pressing a sloppy kiss to tsukki in greeting, and tsukki
Waits. Finally, halfway through his trip, he hears bo scream and he came running out pants around his ankles still but boxers pulled up thankfully. He points at tsukki who just shrugs, also at a loss for words.
His yelling wakes up Kuroo who rubs the sleep from his eyes with
the hand covered in tsukki’s sunflowers, stopping to blink when he realizes what’s happened. He also starts yelling, him and bokuto pointing and prodding each other in the ankle.
Their combined yelling wakes up the grumpy akaashi who freezes when he sees the marks, storming out
In a panic. Kuroo follows him and after a chat he calms back down, and they join in a conversation in the living room.
Years of struggling, feeling unwanted, like the universe had made a mistake when really it was just waiting for all four of them to get it together at the
Same time.
They don’t immediately jump into anything, Kuroo and tsukki’s experience showing that simply being soulmates isn’t always enough. They start seeing someone who specializes in soulmate related therapy, and eventually, they give in. The four of them start dating and
As they slowly condense from three apartments(Bo and tsukki didnt live together, the pro volleyballers of the group) to one, things fall into place around them.
Eventually they’re all together, in Tokyo, in a house of their own, soulmates and partners in every aspect.

The phone rings five times before it’s answered at the last second.
‘Hello?’ His voice only sounds a little familiar. Usually, the context he’s hearing it in involves more growling, more raspiness. His day to day voice only hints at the
Kuroo is nervous. He doesn’t know why he’s nervous, not really. On the surface, it’s because he’s meeting his girlfriend’s youngest son today. Deep down, his brain doesn’t accept that as an answer.
He’s already met her oldest son, and they got along
Perfectly fine. He’s a people person, he knows how to deal with all types of personalities, without batting an eye. Almost thirty years of working with the JVA and their eccentric players have honed his people skills.
So why was he nervous?
He gets to Ayako’s house and is immediately put to work. Dinner is almost ready except for the finishing touches, so he’s setting the table while Akiteru, her oldest, is starting to bring out some of the dishes. Kuroo looks at them, eyebrows raised.
When Tsukishima had seen his former teacher on the app he had downloaded, he had originally swiped as a joke. There was no way the Kuroo Tetsurou, heartthrob of Karasuno, would swipe back. It was vindicating to confirm he was gay though.
He had less than a month to lose his virginity before he turned nineteen and he was determined to make it happen. He had only had the app for a few hours when DMs started rolling in, but his eyes caught on this one. Everyone else could wait.
‘Nope, I’m serious,’ he replies.
His bio was short and to the point. ‘Almost 19. Virgin. Not looking for a relationship, just someone to fuck me.’
‘Tsukishima. Do you know what kind of people you’re going to attract with that bio?’
Correction: he hates his neighbor’s boyfriend who moved in three months ago, six months after Kuroo missed his one and only shot to ask out his original neighbor.
The neighbor, Kuroo’s long lost soulmate, the one who got away, was Tsukishima Kei, and Kuroo has had a crush on him since the day he moved in. He had offered to help carry boxes, joking that Tsukishima’s arms looked like they needed a break, and Tsukishima had glared at him in
such a bone chilling way, Kuroo was clearly hooked.
He had warmed up to him slightly when Kuroo had caught Tsukishima’s cat, Strawberry, after a daring and unfortunate escape from Tsukishima’s balcony to Kuroo’s.
They had coffee dates, they went grocery shopping together,
#BoKuroTsuki royalty omegaverse au where kingdoms are ruled by alphas and alphas alone. Two alphas marry and they’ll both have harems, omegas who live to serve them and birth their heirs.
When Tsukishima presents as an omega, and his dad essentially donates him to the crown, he
Takes small solace in the fact that he avoided a worse fate. The kids in the estate had all told horror stories of whore houses that omegas were sold to, kidnapped and trapped in. He had seen their faces when he presented, a mix of pity and fear and mocking disgust.
Sure, his
Future was squashed to be nothing but a broodmare for the royal bloodline, but it could be worse. He had hear good things of their kings. Bokuto Koutarou and his husband, Kuroo Tetsurou. Even if they were cruel, no one but them could touch him. Stealing the kings’ property was a
This but make it #krtsk where Kuroo is the blue and tsukki is the gray. And kuroo tries again, a year later, but at the exact time and tsukki texts him a place and a time for their first date.
Kenma shook his head as Kuroo paced back and forth in the room. ‘Panicking isn’t going to make the time pass any faster.’
‘Shh shush I didn’t ask for your judgement. He said try again in a year, I’m not missing my chance.’
‘Sane
People would’ve taken that to mean no.’
‘Kyanmaaa you don’t understand,’ Kuroo whined flopping down on the mattress next to Kenma. ‘He’s my soulmate he just doesn’t know it yet.’ Kuroo goes on a tangent, waxing poetic about the tall blonde he had been obsessing over for the
