Late Night Drinks

Chapter 34

Kei yawned, as he woke up. He looked around, noticing that he was the only one up. He looked down, and smiled, as he saw Tetsuro with his arms wrapped around his waist. Kei ruffled his messy hair, and picked up his phone.

Masao
Hey! Hope you're doing ok, Tsukishima.

We all left after you guys went to sleep.

Honestly, searching for you was something I've never thought I would do, haha.

It was nice meeting your friends, and you were right, saying that they weren't assholes, lol.

Anyway, gotta get back to work, I'll see you later.

Kei smiled at the text messages. For one thing, he thought his co-workers would be careless, and would just call the police, if someone went missing. But Kei was someone special to them, so they couldn't just leave like that.

After a bit of scrolling through his phone, he remembered what happened at the pond last night. The pond...would it still be there? Kei didn't know. But he wanted to know. Without a thought, he stood up, and grabbed his shoes.

As he was in the process of putting on his shoes, he went back to reality. What the heck are you doing? He thought to himself. You'd get in trouble, if you ran off again... He sighed. But he couldn't help it. He wanted to know more of the pond, and how it works.

After a lot of thinking, Kei made up his mind. I'll just say I went for a walk. He assured, quietly opening the gym doors. Luckily, Kei made it through without waking up anyone. He quickly ran through the forest.

Surprisingly, Kei remembered exactly where the pond was. He squished through some trees, and sighed, as he stood upon the water. The water glimmers underneath the sunrise, pinks, oranges, yellows, blues, and greens reflecting off from it. Kei crouched down, waved his hand in the water. He flinched, as he saw a Koi fish appear. The koi fish was quite affectionate, as he brushed itself against Kei's hand. Kei smiled a little, then pulled his hand out.

The water then started to swirl over, looking like it was trying to picture something. Kei watched closely, as the picture slowly started to appear. He was a little confused, as he saw a picture of cake show up.

What the-...is this what we're having for breakfast, or something? He thought. Kei looked down back at the koi fish, who nodded. A little caught off guard, Kei bit his lip. That's when a theory popped into his head.

"Could this water...be able to tell the future?" He mumbled to himself. He looked back at the fish for assurance. The fish nodded. Kei flinched.

"Should I be more interested in the water, or the fish that understands me?" He asked. He shook his head, and looked at his watch. Uh oh, it was almost seven, people might be up by now. He stood up from the water.

"See you later, fish, I guess!" He said, running back through the woods. The koi fish then swam away.

Tetsuro woke up and yawned. He looked to his side, noticing that Kei wasn't there. As you could expect, Tetsuro freaked out. He quickly got out of the futon, as soon as the gym doors opened again. Tetsuro looked over at the doors, surprised and relieved to see Kei.

"Tsuki, you worried me." He face palmed.
"Sorry, I just went out for a quick walk." Kei said. Tetsuro sighed and shook his head. He walked to the other middle blocker, and wrapped his hands around his waist.

"Next time, tell me, so I won't freak out." He pouted. Kei scoffed, and kissed his head.
"Ok, I will."

The couple flinched, and let go of each other, as they heard rustling. "Uwah...oh, good morning, when did you two get up?" Bokuto asked, smiling sleepily.
