slight suicidal undertones in this chapter so please be aware of that!!

—

it was day three in tokyo and the group of boys were out in the busiest area to do some shopping.

terushima had his arms linked with daichi and was practically dragging the karasuno captain with him. they all decided to split up in groups, with terushima and daichi together, daishou, oikawa and bokuto, and then futakuchi and kuroo.

while ushijima said he wanted to try out the best spa place in all of tokyo and didn't want any of them coming with him.

"anything you excited to buy?" daichi laughs, trying his best to match his speed with the younger player.

terushima slowed down, "just some blind boxes," he said. "my sister sent me some and wanted me to buy her some since she can't come to tokyo."

"she can't come?"

he nods his head, "my mom lives in tokyo and well, let's just say they don't have the best mother daughter relationship."

"ah, i see."

terushima turns to daichi, "do you have any siblings?"

daichi nods, "i have an older brother."

"ooo! he must be handsome, considering what you look like. let me meet him one day."

daichi then laughs, leaning close to terushima, bodies touching. "why? you gonna leave me because he's more handsome?" he teased.

terushima shot daichi a glare, eyes saying 'how dare you ask me that question' but laughed it off.

they did a good amount of shopping. half way, daichi was getting a little worried with just how much stuff terushima was buying and daichi swears he didn't see him look at any of the price tags.

they stopped by a cafe that didn't seem extremely busy so they could take a break from all the busy shops and chaos.

after an hour or so of chatting, terushima wanted to go back to daishou's place to put back all the bags. luckily, the nohebi captain gave all of them spare keys just in case they needed them.

terushima kicked off his shoes, with daichi right behind him. he threw the shopping bags on the couch and dragged daichi up to the room they were staying in.

daichi laughs at terushima being so energetic. he dragged the younger down on the bed and the two laid there for a good moment before terushima decided to speak.

"hey..." spoke terushima, tone getting serious. "why'd you think kuroo started crying yesterday?"

daichi turns his and had a confused expression. "he was crying?"

"you didn't notice? that's why daishou brought him upstairs."

"well... it was kinda difficult to notice with oikawa screaming and bokuto's yelling..."

terushima laughs, "okay true, but yeah. he started to tear up a bit and i think daishou noticed so he took him upstairs."

daichi thought for a moment. he then stares up at the ceiling. "maybe he's just scared."

"scared?" terushima repeats.

"terrified of change, perhaps? none of us can really go back and play volleyball anymore, besides you and futakuchi of course. maybe it was the nostalgia that hit him."

there was a moment of silence between them until terushima turns his head, now staring at daichi.

"what about you?"
