Kei arrived to Tokyo, as he hopped off the train. It was already 7:30, so he needed to hurry up. He got out of the train station, just to find out that Tetsuro was there.

"What are you doing here?" Kei asked, as he walked up to the other male.
"I came to pick you up, what else?" Tetsuro shrugged. "Also, Akaashi are here in he car, too." He said.
"Oh, really?" Kei asked, as Tetsuro opened the door for him.
"Hey, hey, Tsuki-Dude!" Bokuto smiled.
"Hello, Tsukishima." Akaashi greeted.
"Hey, it's nice to see you guys again." Kei sat down.
"You all ready to go?" Tetsuro asked, as he stared the car. Everyone nodded in agreement, then Tetsuro drove off.

~~~◇□◇□◇□◇□◇□◇□◇~~~
The group arrived to the club. Tetsuro parked he car, then Kei stood up to leave.
"Well, my shift is about to start." He sighed.
"Can we come with you?" Tetsuro asked. Kei looked at him.
"No, why can't you just take the regular entrance?" He asked. Tetsuro pouted.
"C'mon, please!" He begged.
"Yeah, I wanna take the employee entrance!" Bokuto said.
"Bokuto-san, no." Akaashi said. Bokuto pouted. His emo-mood is about to happen.
"Akaaaaaaashiiii...." He whined. Akaashi sighed. He gave in, just because he didn't want to deal with him right now.
"You need Tsukishima's permission, first." He said. All three of them looked at Kei. Kei blinked a few times, and sighed with annoyance.
"Fine, just don't cause a ruckas, and don't disturb any of my co-workers." He said, as the other three followed behind him.

They walked inside the employee room.
"It's really bright in here..." Akaashi squinted his eyes.
"Sorry, some of my co-workers have a fairy light obsession." Kei sighed.

Though, he wasn't wrong. There were fairy lights and LED light strips, lined along the walls and windows, and some intertwined with curtains and other decor.

Akaashi nodded in agreement, as Bokuto and Tetsuro walked around the employee room.

"Don't touch anything, please." Kei shot a glare at the two, who were poking around the lockers. Tetsuro and Bokuto flinched, and retreated their hand immediately.
"The exit is over there, I suggest you guys leave, before someone else find you here." Kei said, putting his stuff away.
"Hm, you're right, Bokuto-san! Kuroo, let's go!" Akaashi called out.
"Coming~" Bokuto said, with Tetsuro walking behind him.
"I'll be out soon." Kei said. Tetsuro nodded, and closed the door behind him.

Kei walked out of the break room. He bumped into some of his co-workers, who seemed to be talking to each other about something.

"What's wrong?" Kei asked. The girls flinched, and turned around.
"Oh, hello, Tsukishima!" Maria and Yoori smiled.

Yoori works as a waitress at the bar, while Maria plays the role as a stripper.

"Oh, nothing's wrong, just..." Yoori's eyes wandered off to another place. Kei raised an eyebrow, then realized she was gazing at Akaashi.
"There's this young man here at the bar, and he's kinda, I dunno...really attractive." She squealed. Kei narrowed his eyes at her.
Should I tell her, or... He thought. He was debating whether or not that Akaashi was already dating someone.

"I kinda prefer the more muscular one..." Maria swooned. Kei flinched.
Kuroo-san or Bokuto? He thought.
"He has such an interesting hair style, too." Maria added. Kei's eyes dropped.
Well, that doesn't help at all. He thought to himself.
"I wonder if he was actually born with both grey and white hair..." Maria tapped her chin.
Oh, it's Bokuto. Kei blinked.
"I wonder if they're single..." Both Maria and Yoori said at the sametime.
"They're already dating each other." Kei blurted out. Maria and Yoori looked at Kei, who quickly covered his mouth.
Crap, I said that out of no where! He thought.
"They're dating each other?" Yoori raised an eyebrow. Kei hesitantly nodded. He was waiting for one of them (or both) to start complaining.

"That's so cute!" Maria squealed. Kei flinched.
"Wha-"
"They do seem like a perfect match, to be honest." Yoori nodded. "Do you know them, Tsukishima?" She asked.
"Uh, yes." Kei said. "My volleyball team and I played against them before." He added.
"That's so cool!" Yoori and Maria said. You could practically see the stars in their eyes.
"Anyway, we need to get back to work." Maria sighed. Yoori followed her out the door, as Kei did too.

Kei was at the bar counter, and saw Akaashi, Bokuto, and Tetsuro already there.
"What took you so long?" Tetsuro asked. Kei rolled his eyes.
"I was just taking care if some things." He said. Tetsuro side-eyed him, and shrugged. Kei looked at Bokuto, who already seemed drunk.
"Y-you guys haven't even been here for 20 minutes, yet Bokuto is already high?" He asked. Akaashi sighed with annoyance.
"I'm sorry, Tsukishima." He apologized.
"No, it's fine." Kei sighed.
"TsuuUuUuukiiiii...." Bokuto smiled.
"CaN you *hiccup* geT me aNoTher dRinK?" He asked. Kei stared at him, then looked at Akaashi, who shook his head.
"No, sorry, Bokuto, but Akaashi said no more." Kei said. Bokuto pouted.
"PleeeeEaaAaaseeee~" he whined. Kei's eyes dropped.
"No, Bokuto-san." Akaashi scowled. Bokuto looked at Akaashi, then leaned in towards him. He kissed Akaashi on the lips, in which Akaashi was surprised for a moment. Kei and Tetsuro stared at the two lovebirds, making out. They looked at each other, Tetsuro who just shrugged, suggesting they just leave them be. Kei sighed, and went to the back if the bar.

Masao watched Kei walk to the back.
"Are those your friends?" Masao asked.
"Hm? Oh, yeah, my volleyball team and I played against them before." Kei said.
"Ah, ok." Masao nodded. "I met the bed-head yesterday." He added. Kei flinched.
"He came over to see if you were here." Masao said.
"Oh...is that so?" Kei asked.
"Mhm, something about him losing you?" Masao raised an eyebrow. Kei hesitated to answer.
"Er...well, we just went out, but my other friends in the city found me." He shrugged.
"Mhmmm..." Masao tapped his chin. "Just be careful, Tsukishima, you're still young, don't go out doing something without thinking." He informed. Kei rolled his eyes, and smiled.
"Yes, yes, 'mom', I'll be careful." He walked out of the door. Masao scoffed, and smiled.

Kei walked back out to the bar. Bokuto and Tetsuro were having a competition, seeing who could drink the most in 10 minutes, while Akaashi silently drank his water.

"You don't drink?" Kei asked. Akaashi shook his head.
"No, I'm not a fan of drinking, or well, I'll do it sometimes, but not all the time." He said.
"Ah, ok." Kei nodded.

After an hour, or so, Kei was taking a break.
"When are you off?" Akaashi asked. Akaashi was still his normal self, meanwhile Bokuto and Tetsuro drinking as many shots as they could.

"Uh, after another hour, maybe more." Kei looked at his watch. Akaashi nodded, then looked at Bokuto.
"Bokuto-san, don't drink so much." He patted the other boys' head.
"Yes, you too, Kuroo." Kei said. Tetsuro wiped his mouth, and slammed the cup onto the counter.
"We're fine, gimme another shot." He panted. Kei rolled his eyes, and refilled Tetsuro's and Bokuto's cups. They gulped it down in less than 30 seconds. Kei scoffed.
"You know, I would've rejected for giving you guys more to drink, but the more I serve, the more money I make, and this is for my mother, so-" he paused, and looked at Akaashi, who had a concerned look on his face.

Crap, I said too much! Kei covered his mouth.
"Um, is something wrong with your mother?" Akaashi asked. Kei sighed.
"Well, there's no point in hiding it anymore...my mom is in the hospital, she has an un-named illness, so my brother and I are taking part-time jobs to make money for the hospital bills." He explained. Akaashi's face softened.
"Oh, that's very kind of you, Tsukishima." He smiled. Kei cracked a smile back. Then suddenly, the club doors opened. Kei looked above the crowd to see what it was. His chest felt heavy as he saw who just walked through the doors.

Dad?...
