Tsukishima Kei

Long chapter ahead!!

-Tsukishima's ending-

•●♡●•

After the whole match with Shiratorizawa, the team were treated at a restaurant named Izakaya Osuwari. Right when they finished eating, Tanaka, Nishinoya, Kageyama and Hinata slumped down the table, exhausted as hell.

Tsuchiya, despite not playing in the court that much, just being around Ushijima's presence drains a lot of his energy and is now resting in a corner. He passed out, that's why and Sugawara was right beside him at all times.

Soon, the team were doing a small victory party at the place. The legals were drinking quite a lot and the team were just watching them get drunk. Ennoshita and Kinoshita already went home because they don't want to be reeked with booze.

Saeko was so loud as she armed both Akiteru and Fujima on their throats. Tanaka had to yell at her, only to get yelled back. "Maa, maa, it's alright. She's having fun. How about you Akiteru?" Fujima asked as he looked at Akiteru almost pale. "Dying." Was all he said.

"Eeehhh?? C'mon! Have a drink!" Saeko yelled as she raised the beer up.

Groaning, Tsuchiya finally woke up to see chaos all around him. "Wha.."

"Oh, did you have a good nap?" Sugawara smiled. "Uh, yeah, I guess.. what's going on?" He asked. "Oh, well, a lot of things happened and Saeko-san was inviting almost everyone, even us high schoolers, to drink with her. Fujima-san and Akiteru-san helped taking her away from us." Sugawara explained.

"I see." Tsuchiya then looked at his older brother and noticed how his brother looked at Akiteru. He had this soft gaze towards him and attentiveness to everything Akiteru had to say. He's not imagining it right?

"Nii-san, I am going home first." Tsuchiya heard Tsukishima. "Areh? Where's Tadashi-kun?" Akiteru asked. "He already went home."

"Uhmm, can you stay a bit more Kei? I still want to talk to Fujima-san and I can't let you go home alone." Akiteru told him, giving a worried smile. "Ugh, I'll just go home. I still have a lot to do." Tsukishima picked his bag up.

"Ah-wait a sec Kei!"

"Ah! Akiteru-san!" Tsuchiya interrupted. "I can accompany him home."

Akiteru's eyes twitched a bit when he heard that. Taking his little brother home by someone he doesn't know that well? But it's Fujima's little brother and he seemed trusting enough. But.. what if-

"No! I can't-"

"Mah, mah, Akiteru. I'm pretty sure my brother can get your brother back to your house just fine. Trust me." Fujima puts both of his hands on his shoulders, stopping him. "Besides, I want to hear more of that funny story you're telling me." He smiled.

Akiteru seemed to have calmed down, unknowingly inhaling Fujima's scent as he sat back down. "Still.."

"They'll be fine. I'll let you kill me when something happens to your little brother." Fujima grins and Akiteru pouted to the side.

Fujima gave his little brother a wink and Tsuchiya took that as a sign. Just as he turned around, Tsukishima wasn't here anymore. "Ah! I'm gonna catch up to him!" With that, he waste no time leaving the building.

Sugawara watched him running to the exit of the place with a frown as he was playing a game with Daichi and Asahi. Daichi took notice of this and felt bad for him.

"Kei! Could you wait up!?"

"Why would I.." Tsukishima continued to walk down the barely lit up road as Tsuchiya tried to catch up to him. "My brother already swore to Akiteru-san that he'd kill him if something happened to you." He explained as he tried to catch his breath when he finally caught up to him. "A..kiteru..?" Tsukishima said in question.
