CW: Alcohol/mentions of edibles
Drinking was an issue. Especially an issue when drinking with Sugawara Koushi.
Kuroo had learned this from the last few months prior and was currently sipping at a beer he didn't fancy too much. But hey, it was something to help.
"Kuroo, you suck."
Kuroo looked up and pouted. His mind was beyond a buzz at this point and he was a rather emotional drinker. "Why'd you say that Suga?!"
"Cause you do! Fucking rooster ass!" Sugawara flopped into Oikawa. "I'm gonna make out with my boyfriend unlike you! Single ass!"
Kuroo huffed and turned around with his bottle. He pushed past people to the kitchen where he stole two mochi balls from the freezer. He set them on the counter, upset as he watched them thaw a bit.
"I jus wanted to play animal crossing or watch science stuff but he's so mean." Kuroo poked one of the treats. "Jerk."
Someone walked over as Kuroo started to tear up and laughed. "Don't poke it dumbass."
"Shuddup."
Bokuto poked Kuroo and laughed. "Weirdo."
"I just want to watch science stuff!" Kuroo cried. He smashed one of the treats with his fist, frustrated. "And now the little dude is dead!"
Kuroo felt a tap on his shoulder and turned around, eyes puffy and body swaying a bit since he was bordering on drunk. "Hey there buddy. You doing alright?"
"Of course I am, asshole!"
The other male smiled warmly. "You're just a tad bit loud right now. Would you like some water? And what sort of science videos do you like?"
"I would like some water." Kuroo softened his voice and stared at the beauty of a man in front of him. "And chemistry."
"Alright, follow me." He took Kuroo's hand and Kuroo was quick to follow him. He was given a bottle of water and was led to Sugawara's big recliner. The man with him sat him down and Kuroo leaned into him as he searched for something to watch.
Kuroo held the other man's hand, staring up at him.
"Everything okay?"
"You're beautiful."
"Why thank you. You are also very pretty. You know your name, right pretty boy?"
"My name is Kuroo."
"And I'm Daichi. It's very nice to meet you. Is that water helping you feel less upset?"
"I would let you walk me home in the dark," Kuroo whispered. He tapped Daichi's nose with a finger before turning back around and picking a video to watch.
"Hey pretty boy, how are you feeling?"
"Much better."
Daichi chuckled. "That's great. Relax."
Kuroo whined loudly. He turned around. "I don't feel good."
"Sip the water, don't chug it."
"Oh yeah." Kuroo turned back around. He relaxed into Daichi's form, eyes wide as he watched his chemistry video. Daichi just watched everyone around and noticed that no one paid Kuroo an ounce of attention. That was likely what had upset him seeing that he had been so visibly upset and needed attention to stay out of harm's way.
"Did the video finish?"
"Mhmm."
Daichi tried to get Kuroo up but he just sort of went slack, clinging to Daichi as if he were a frightened kitten. "What's wrong?"
"You're gonna leave me now!"
Daichi chuckled. "No man, I just need to get you a blanket. You're a bit cold."
Kuroo gasped softly. "Oh yeah."
Daichi grabbed one of the blankets from next to him and rocked Kuroo when he got the blanket around his shoulders. "Alrighty..."
"You don't plan to touch me weird, right? Like those ladies who touch guys?"
"God no. I'm just here to get you comfortable. And what ladies? That's weird."
"I dunno. Ladies like me and try to touch sometimes." Kuroo smiled. "I'm hot though."
"You're pretty but that doesn't justify sexual assault." Daichi set Kuroo on his chest. Sugawara was laughing with someone in the corner, seemingly happy about something. "Hey Suga! Do you still have that rocking chair?"
"Yeah. It's in my room."
Daichi got up and got the chair before bringing it to a more secluded part of the house. It was close to the porch so it was a lot quieter. Poor Kuroo followed him around. He looked like a puppy following its owner, very much interested in Daichi's every move. Daichi finally sat down in the chair and Kuroo plopped into his lap, not sobering up but rather getting drowsy. "You comfortable there?"
Kuroo nodded. He curled up against Daichi's chest. "Gnight hot man."
"It's Daichi."
"Mhmm."
"Goodnight Kuroo. Sleep well."
Kuroo relaxed into Daichi's hold as he was rocked. Usually it was his duty to take care of the more emotional drunks and usually they hit him and cried but Kuroo at least appreciated the effort.
Sometime later Kuroo whined and sat up. "Mm hungry."
"Did you smoke tonight Kuroo?"
"Just a lil brownie bite!"
"Oh God. Maybe you may wanna lay against me for a second because getting crossed like you are is not good."
Kuroo whined but complied. He laid against Daichi and was handed more water.
"How are you feeling?"
"Hungry and tired."
"I bet you are. Do you think some fresh air may help?"
"Dunno."
Daichi got him on his feet and opened the door. "There we go."
Kuroo stepped outside before promptly sitting down and relaxing. Daichi got him another water and brought out a bowl of fruits for Kuroo to snack on for the time being. Kuroo relaxed into Daichi's lap and yawned. "Mm..."
"Mm? Comfy?"
Kuroo stared up at him. His chest tightened and it may have been anything in his system that had been impairing his judgement but he certainly thought Daichi was incredibly perfect. "I am comfy!"
"That's great."
Kuroo smiled. "You're perfect."
"Oh man that's a pretty big statement."
"Can I kiss you?"
"You may not."
"What? Why?"
"You're intoxicated." Daichi ran a hand through Kuroo's hair. "Just relax for now."
"Mkay." Kuroo closed his eyes and slowly drifted off. Daichi stayed still and just sort of chilled where he was, confused but glad to have helped.
