// hi guys im back //

KEIJI AKAASHI exhaled a long sigh, tapping his foot patiently on the ground waiting for his cousin's flight to reach the tokyo airport. he bopped his head to the music playing in his earphones (clean by taylor swift, taylor's version of course) as he almost died of boredom. "gosh, when is she gonna be here?" he muttered under his breath, growing more and more impatient by the second. it was around 1 AM in the morning (or night?) and he was the one that was going to have to drive her back to his house, as, according to his parents, he was 'old enough'. 

"DEAR COUSIN!" he heard a yell. with a slight jump, he allowed his eyes to focus on the face in front of him - his cousin, the infamous takashi aki, who he hadn't seen for years now. "how are you? it's been a while. jesus, i'm tired. do you have any food? taiyakis are preferred. gosh, i'm famished. a bed feels like a great idea too." she rambled, on and on, about the most random things that one could find on earth. how was she talking? it was so late. god, how much akaashi wanted to sleep himself. "hey, aki?" he muttered, causing her to shut up. "do you mind, talking?" he began. she rolled her eyes, but gratefully shut up. 

five long minutes passed by the in the car, until aki very gratefully suggested they put on some music, and so akaashi (quite fearfully, in fact) placed his spotify liked songs on shuffle. he prayed under his breath that nothing embarassing played - what decided to play was 'young and beautiful' by lana del rey, his new favorite obsession. nothing tops folklore though, just saying. to his own shock, aki new the lyrics, and that led to the two of them jamming in his car in the middle of the night, two cousins cracking up and reuniting after years of being apart from each other. to say the least, it was fun, which akaashi would grudgingly admit to. 

after making sure aki was safe in the guest room, akaashi had to smile to himself; maybe, just MAYBE, this spring break wouldn't be the worst after all.

EREN GREEN was having the worst last day of school ever. 

to start it all of, she didn't get to eat breakfast. they were out of cereal, the toaster wasn't toasting, and they were out of granola bars. and so, she decided to stop for coffee. but guess what? her favorite coffee shop in tokyo so far was out of her go to cappucino. and so, she decided to hold in her hunger until lunch. but no, all her classes decided to inch like the longest things on earth. and when it came to lunch, she had a pounding headache, and it didn't help matters that kuroo was acting like a lovesick puppy. for more context:

"hey, eren-chan?" kuroo started, mouth full of his soba noodles. "hmm?" "have you ever been in love?" the tapioca pearls of eren's boba tea made her choke at the question. "what the fuck, kuroo? who have you fallen for in this shit school?" at this, yamamoto and yaku's heads turned. "nono, she's this girl that i knew when i was younger. in fact, i think even kenma knows her." at this kenma lifted his head up in a jerk. he gave kuroo a look, a slight head jerk, and went back to his video game. 

kuroo decided to ignore this. 

"i still talk to her. the thing is, she moved to america when we were around 5 or 6, but i took her mom's number, so we were still in contact, and now obviously she has her own phone. she's coming back to tokyo soon, but i actually don't know if i can meet her. i just... miss her, i guess. we used to play hide and seek, volleyball, tom and jerry? i don't know. actually, she got me into soba noodles in the first place." aki nodded at everything, taking it all in. "damn, kuroo-san. that... that's a lot. but honestly, if she's coming to tokyo, shouldn't you just try to talk to her?"

kuroo looked like he was deep in conflicted thought. and just when he was about to answer, he got a message from his phone, making him turn as white as chalk. "um... i'll be... back, alright?" he said in a faint voice, then ran off. 

weirder and weirder.

liked by aki

since the time she liked his message, he'd been contemplating what on earth could make her sound so nervous. for the time he'd known her, she'd been the most carefree person he'd known; that's one of the reasons he lov- no, liked her. he took in deep breaths, in and out; nothing bad couldn't happened, right?

... right?
