five days ☾ tsukiyama

one

tsukishima had woken up, it had been december 21st.

four days till christmas, how he hated this holiday like crazy.

he'd like to say it's from most people and their cheery mood, but a certain someone if he's being honest.

tadashi yamaguchi.

the two had known each other since they were kids, they were now teenagers, and almost out of high school.

he always saw how happy and cheery yamaguchi was.

he had almost wished to be just like that, but it goes away once he hears all the annoying music.

but he cant just put all the blame for his hatred for christmas on tadashi and the public, it had been from his family as well.

ever since tsukishima turned 13, his parents told him he was old enough to take care of himself. which meant less and less time spent with them, leading to no time together during the holidays.

his thoughts cleared with a sigh, getting ready for work, and grabbing his coat on the way out.

he arrived to work, flipping the sign to open, after a couple minutes, a couple costumers had come in, as well as workers.

first had been sugawara koushi, the two had been good friends for a while, thankfully he was one of the coworkers he could tolerate.

then later throughout the day came in kageyama and bokuto, the two talking about some volleyball event happening after new years.

the day had passed quick, which sucked in tsukishima's defense since he had been there the whole day. it was only him and bokuto left, a certain dark haired male came in, bokuto smiling at his presence.

"you can get off early bokuto, i can handle it from here" tsukishima said, bokuto smiling at his coworker, "thankusomuch!" he quickly said.

"akaashi!" bokuto yelled, akaashi smiling, "lets go bokuto" he said, the owl haired male nodding, holding his hand as they walked out the door.

less customers had come in, the cafe becoming more and more empty, tsukishima was getting ready to close up.

but then he heard the door's bell ring.

tsukishima walked out of the back room just to see him.

"tadashi we're about to close" tsukishima said, groaning as he went on the other side of the counter, wanting to leave.

"first name basis now, hm kei?" yamaguchi said, the tall blond weirdly liking how he said his name.

"what are you doing here?" he asked, walking him out the door, locking it right after.

"well, kei-"

"dont call me that"

"fine then, tsukishima, i've come to invite you to ice skating, and then getting hot chocolate right after!" yamaguchi said, smiling.
