To the Moon and Back (Kuroo Tetsurou x Tsukishima Kei)

Chapter 16

Everything went well for Tsukishima this week. His business is right on track, the fashion studio has become more popular than it has been before. A few names in the showbiz industry have been trying to keep in touch with him, and those acquaintances has been referring clients to him in which he was thankful for.

As fashion week is approaching, all hands were on deck in his studio. Yamaguchi has been keeping in contact with their fabric supplier. A problem came at hand when they said the fabrics would come in late because of late shipment, but if it wasn't for Hinata and Kageyama (who pulled some strings for him), his project wouldn't be done on time.

The fashion studio was busy as ever since they only have 4 more designs to finish. Coffee cups filled in the trashbin, different colors and prints of fabric lay down the tables and littered the floor, and a sleep deprived Tsukishima holding a metal scissor.

"Can we have someone do the sequin embroidery on this one?" Tsukishima said while cutting the uneven seams on the fabric.

"I'll do it," Yamaguchi who just finished ironing the finished designer clothing volunteered.

"Hey Kei? I think we are already out of that Mint Julep thread," Oikawa, who holding an empty spool.

Suga and Akaashi were also present, and they are already having a hard time with the 4th design. It was a halter top gown with 3 layers of ruffled serpentine and gold fabrics. Attaching the swarovski crystals can be a pain, but Tsukishima is amazed how these two are holding up.

"Didn't know the two of you had a background on fashion and sewing."

Suga laughed and waved a hand in front of Tsukishima. "I used to take classes before I shifted to majoring art, Akaashi here is a sewing and crochet addict."

Tsukishima gave a small smile. "I'd like to thank you for your efforts. I promise to treat you all in a nice dinner once this is over."

"You don't need too. Oikawa and I have been given a few weeks off from the museum, this is much better than having that idiotic guy chase me around," Akaashi replied while finishing the needlework on the last layer of the fabric.

Tsukishima frowned. "...Is Bokuto still...?"

Akaashi only nodded. "I don't really know what to do, Kei. I've been turning him down for several times and he says he still won't give up."

"Akaashi-san should really have a boyfriend, don't you think so Tsukki?" Suga playfully mentioned. "So that his tight ass attitude would mellow down."

Akaashi snorted. "I don't think I am ready for such commitments. It will be a pain in the ass, you said after breaking up with Daichi."

Tsukishima noticed how Sugawara's expression change. "That's below the belt, Akaashi." he pouted.

"Anyways," Suga trailed before smirking. "I heard from Oikawa you have a boyfriend."

Akaashi gave him a curious look, before looking at his right hand.

"I did not!" Tsukishima defensively said. "T-This is just a fashion ring I bought."

"Yeah, yeah. We all get it. You just want to keep it lowkey ain't ya? Hmmm. Its fine. Just tell us when you're ready," Suga said before winking.

Suddenly, the front desk phone rang. Tsukishima told Yamaguchi that he would answer the phone, so that he would continue the embroidery job.

Picking up the phone, he spoke.

"TK Studio, this is Tsukishima. How may I help you?

A chuckle was heard over the phone.
