The painting was beautiful. That may seem conceited, but it was beautiful. But the fact that Bokuto told me the colors and explained what he was using them for was even more beautiful.

He didn't even question why I was asking what the colors were and I loved it. I stare at Bokuto who talks and laughs with Kuroo across the table in their dining room.

I've never seen Kuroo in color, nor Bokuto. But I've always wondered what Kuroo's skin looks like, what his hair looks like, his eyes. What he looks like in his favorite color.

I've always wondered that about people, I've never seen the color of Oikawa and Iwazoomi's uniform. I've never seen what color their hair is. I've only ever seen them in the bland grey color I see everywhere.

It makes me sad, but I always keep a smile on my face, because that's the most I can do.

Not being able to see color fucking sucks.

Especially with such bright people in my life.

My eyes wander over Bokuto's face, his hair spiked up, unlike how I saw him before. He reminds me of an owl, but those pretty owls. The ones that are so beautiful it takes your breath away. I take a bite of my rice, thus finishing the last of my meal, and set my chopsticks down.

"Thank you for dinner Kuroo-san." I lightly bow my head at my friend.

Kuroo, who has his cheeks filled, grins at me. "Hmphf." He says, a short laugh escaping his lips.

Bokuto makes a face at the food in his mouth, his lips slightly parted in disgust. I giggle at that, a slight yawn leaving my mouth.

I barley got any sleep last night, I was nervous to come here. I felt like I was going to be an intrusion, but now I feel completely different and welcome.

"If you're tired Keiji, go to sleep." Kuroo says, gathering the bowls and plates and standing up from his sitting position.

I nod, standing up myself. As I walk I hear Bokuto mumble something to Kuroo. I walk in to Bokuto's room and walk over to the extra bed, pulling the covers up and crawling under them. I grab my cellphone and see that I have multiple text messages from Oikawa and Iwazoomi.

Shittykawa: AKASHI-SAN! How is it at Kuroo's? Send him my love! <3

Iwa: Hey Akashi, we made it to Russia, we miss you!

Shittykawa: Keiji text me back! I miss you :( iwa-chan's being mean.

Iwa: whatever Oikawa tells you is a lie.

Shittykawa: Akasshhiiiii we should FaceTime tomorrow before our first tournament.

Iwa: Kageyama and Hinata say hello.

Shittykawa has invited you to a group chat with Iwa.

Iwa: dumbass what is this?

Shittykawa: a group chat silly Iwa-chan. :)

Shittykawa : Akashi we miss you already! I hope everything's going great.
