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

Chapter 21

Tsukishima stretched his body for a few seconds before fully opening his eyes. His legs are tangled on his bed's messy sheets and pillows were scattered on the floor.

A soft beep sound emerged in the silent morning he is enjoying. He reached overhead for his phone, and swiped it open to view the message he received. His body felt slightly cold for wasn't the message Kuroo sent him.

From: Kuroo Tetsurou

Good morning. I hope you have a nice day ahead. ;)

Tsukishima pursed his lips, trying to suppress his smile. His fingers glided through the touchpad of his phone to type a message.

Good morning to you too. :)

Seconds when he pressed send, he already received a reply.

From: Kuroo Tetsurou

:o

He blinked for a few times before typing another message.

Why?

Tsukishima sat up on his bed, with a phone on hand. His gaze traveled to the digital clock placed on his gray desk, as it reads 9:43 AM.

Another beep was followed by another.

From: Kuroo Tetsurou

Nothing

From: Kuroo Tetsurou

Its that you never used smileys until your message now

From: Kuroo Tetsurou

♡

Tsukishima almost laughed. This idiotic man is really making him crack up because of the almost nonsense things he says. He bit down his lower lip, while typing fast for a reply.

:) ♡

The message was sent. He dropped his body back to his bed and stared at the ceiling for quite a long time. His mind drifted to a lot of things, and suddenly he felt like reflecting on it.

It was already months since Akiteru died, and from what he can remember, those days felt like he was living in the dark. He eventually stopped coming to his studio, that made him close it down for a few months. After the documentary he watched, he felt like he already had his closure with Akiteru's death, and he started to actually get his shit together.

His career was at its peak ever since that fashion week Tendou Satori organized. The studio has become famous through the clients he had after the event, and people came rushing in to have him design clothes a few more weeks after. Tsukishima had decided to hire more people to help in his studio since relying sometimes on his friends felt like he was imposing.

And then, he has Kuroo Tetsurou. With the thought of him, his lips cannot avoid forming a smile and his heart suddenly fluttering. The man was just amazing in everything that he do. When he said that he would learn to bake his favorite cake, he actually did days after their movie date. The first try was a fail though, and Tsukishima had a good laugh after that.

They've been dating for 5 months now. And his friends already approved of him and Kuroo being together. Tsukishima remembered when Yamaguchi spilled the tea to Akaashi, Suga and Oikawa during that time where he caught them kissing in his office (that almost costed Yanaguchi's job and life), and it was actually embarassing to hear what his senpais said.

He also formed quite a connection with Kuroo's child hood friend Kenma. They even have each other's numbers, and sometimes Kenma would send him embarassing child photos of Kuroo (his favorite was when Kenma sent him a picture of child Kuroo receiving a ball using his face).
