Like all good love stories, it started with a group of borderline drunk friends, karaoke, needlessly intensive competition, and secrets. Not necessarily in that order.
They had wanted to hang out as a group once more, all of them having become busier after graduating university. They kept in touch, of course, and saw each other as often as they could but it had definitely been far too long since they all had the time to hang out as a unit...which is how they found themselves pitching in to rent a massive lakeside cabin for two weeks, big enough to house all the members of their old study group if they bunked three per room.
Everyone had shown up on the same day in staggering intervals of arrival, with the self appointed 'captains' of their study group being the first group to arrive. The quartet of captains put themselves in charge of room assignments, showing everyone to their rooms once they arrived so they could get settled. To their great relief all the guests showed up within two hours of each other and before noon so they had the entire afternoon and evening to hang out and catch up with each other.
The majority of the group was situated in the common area of the cabin to discuss what to do on their first day of vacation when Kenma stalked in from the hallway leading to the room he was assigned. He marched up to the group with a scowl. "Oikawa, can we switch rooms? If I am stuck in that room for two weeks I cannot be held responsible for what will happen."
Oikawa pursed his lips, hand going to rub his chin. "If I switch with you then I won't be rooming with Shoyo, plus you would be with Bo and I honestly don't know who is the lesser of the two evils, him or Kuroo-chan."
"Ouch!"
"I'll pay for all your meals and drinks on this vacation."
An over dramatic gasp sounded from behind the annoyed man. "Kenma! How could you want to switch roomies? It will be just like old times, us having sleepovers and gossiping into the night."
"That is precisely why I want to switch rooms. Isn't the point of this trip to catch up with those we don't see often? Why am I rooming with two of the people I see most often?"
Daichi's chuckle interrupted the bubbling argument between the childhood friends and drew the group's attention to him. "We can always just have a big sleepover here in the living room if you prefer. That way we can all gossip the night away, as a group."
Kenma's scowl deepened for a moment before he sighed, resigning himself to his fate. "Fine." He turned his tired gaze to his best friend. "But after this vacation I need at least three weeks without seeing either of you to recover, got it?"
"No contact at all or..?"
"No in person interactions, minimal communications outside of work."
Akaashi nodded. "Seems fair."
"Great! With that settled, let's vote on tonight's festivities!" Suga clapped his hands eagerly. "Our options are a bonfire, a game night, or karaoke."
"Bonfire should be one of our last nights." Suna nodded in agreement with Osamu's statement.
"We should also start our vacation off with excitement and a bang and a game night...it's not it." Suga shrugged. "No offense, Kenma."
Kenma waved him off, slumping onto the couch next to Hinata.
"Karaoke it is then!" Atsumu cheered, sticking his tongue and middle finger out when his brother insulted his singing under his breath. "Yer just jealous."
Ignoring the brawl that broke out between the twins, Iwaizumi jumped from his perch on the counter. "Alright, now that we know what we are doing tonight, let's discuss lunch. Osamu is cooking, right?"
