presented by: kuroo and kenma being cute asf

"Yamamoto, put that down!"

"But Yaku-san, it looks so coolllll!"

"No!"

(M/N) giggled as he followed the Nekoma team through the mall, holding Kuroo's hand in one hand and the hem of Kenma's hoodie in the other. "Tetsurou, what are we here for again?" (M/N) asked, swinging his and Kuroo's hands.

"To buy stuff, dork," Kuroo replied, looking around with slightly wide eyes. "I saw some cool shirts online the other day, plus a cool chemistry set at one of the toy stores. Plus I need to buy some gifts."

"Gifts?" (M/N) perked up. His birthday was coming soon; was Kuroo really going to let him see his presents early?

"Yeah, for my cousin's birthday, it's coming up this week."

'Damnit!' (M/N) thought with a small pout. He nodded and looked at Kenma, who was typing away on his phone. "What about you Kenma?"

"I'm going to Game Stop. I want new games for my Switch," Kenma mumbled, furrowing his brow as he furiously typed something. (M/N) raised an eyebrow - was he upset? "I'll see you guys later. I'm going to go before the line gets too long," Kenma quietly whined. He walked away, and as he got further away, (M/N) could've sworn that he saw him answer a phone call.

"Is Kenma okay?" (M/N) asked Kuroo.

"I'm sure he's fine, you know how he is," Kuroo chuckled. He looked around again and saw a store, then grinned. "C'mon! That's the toy store!"

"Okay okay, slow down!"

So, one chemistry set later, Kuroo and (M/N) were leaving the toy store. Kuroo saw Fukunaga and Yamamoto walking around and whistled to catch their attention. He then looked at (M/N). "I'm gonna run around to get some stuff. Mind staying with them kitten~?" He purred, gently ruffling (M/N)'s hair.

"Sure! Have fun!" (M/N) beamed. Kuroo chuckled and left a quick kiss on the boy's lips, leaving him with red cheeks as he walked away. Fukunaga and Yamamoto joined him. "Hey guys! What have you guys gotten so far?"

Fukunaga held up a bag full of shirts, jewelry, and anime merchandise, while Yamamoto showed off a new jacket he had just bought. "Don't we look great?!" Yamamoto boasted with pride.

(a/n: can you tell I have a bias for these two as friends)

"Yeah, you guys look great! C'mon, I wanna buy stuff!" (M/N) exclaimed. The three began to walk together, chatting about random stuff. They even stopped to laugh and record as Yaku dragged Lev away from a fountain, where he was tossing all his coins for luck. Yamamoto was about to drag (M/N) and Fukunaga into an athletic's store, when (M/N) saw it. "Woah, guys, what's that?"

The other second years turned to look at what (M/N) was pointing at. "A new jewelry store," Fukunaga answered. "Looks kind of high end."

"Woah, look!" (M/N) gasped, tugging on their sleeves. He pointed to one of the store windows, where you could see an employee piercing someone's ears. "Guys guys guys, are you thinking what I'm thinking?!"

"Oh no," Fukunaga whispered.

Yamamoto perked up and looked at (M/N) with wide eyes. "BRO! DO YOU WANNA-?!"

"HECK YEAH!"

A little while later, Kuroo and Kenma walked out the mall together, meeting up with the rest of the team. They looked around and were surprised that they couldn't find their boyfriend anywhere. "Where's (M/N)?" Kuroo asked.

"And Yamamoto?" Kenma piped up.

"They did something stupid, according to Fukunaga, and their parents had to pick them up," Yaku sighed as he set his bags down on a bench. He crossed his arms and looked at everyone. "But we all stuck to the plan, right?"

"Yep!"

"Good. Everything is in motion then!"

~~~

(M/N) grinned widely as he skipped into school a few weeks later, seemingly more excited and happy than usual. He saw Kuroo and Kenma at their lockers and joined them. "Morning guys!" He greeted happily.

"Morning kitten," Kuroo chuckled. (M/N) giggled, and Kuroo asked, "What's got you so excited?"

(M/N) paused for a second. 'No.. he didn't forget, did he?' He asked himself. His smile faltered, but he quickly cheered back up. "Well hello, silly! You know what today is!" He chuckled, reaching into his locker for his school shoes.

"It's the day where Kuro has a reading test he's bound to fail because he didn't study," Kenma muttered, finally looking up from his PSP. "Good morning (M/N)," he added.

(M/N)'s heart dropped a little, but he hid it with a fake smile. "Ah, hi Kenma," he replied quietly. He got his shoes on, then looked at his boyfriends. "So.. what do you guys have planned today? Anything after practice tonight?"

"Nah, I'm gonna be dead tired and sore," Kuroo groaned as the three of them began to walk. "Speaking of sore, you're being safer with the binding, right? Kenma says you had it on for more than you're supposed to yesterday, dummy."

"Oh y-yeah! I made sure to wash it as soon as I got home, and I've only been wearing it for," (M/N) spoke, then checked his watch. "Thirty minutes."

"Good," Kenma mumbled. They reached (M/N)'s classroom, and the trio stopped at the door. "Bye (M/N). See you at practice."

"Bye Kenma, bye Kuroo," (M/N) said, quickly kissing each boy before heading inside. When he was gone, Kuroo and Kenma looked at each other and smirked, then headed to their classes.

Classes went by fast that day, and (M/N) quickly noticed that none of his teammates wished him happy birthday; the coaches didn't either! He sighed as he changed - making sure to check the time so he wouldn't wear his binder for too long - and got ready for practice. "Hey (M/N), what's up?" Yamamoto asked his fellow second-year, hanging his jacket up in his locker.

"Oh, it's nothing Tora," (M/N) sighed sadly. "Just.. doesn't today seem off to you today? Like something's supposed to happen?" He mumbled.

Yamamoto noticed his friend's sadness and sighed, patting his shoulder. "Nah man, I'm sure today will be fine!" He tried to play off his guilt. "Now c'mon, we got practice!"

(M/N) nodded and sadly followed, hanging his head. But as practice went on, he noticed odd things going on; the coaches were whispering and bustling around a lot, Kenma and Kuroo were keeping their distance from their boyfriend, and the team was constantly asking (M/N) to do things he usually wouldn't have to do. Go fill the water bottles, grab the towels, do this, do that. Half way into practice, (M/N) finally got frustrated. "This is just sad," he mumbled to himself, plopping down on a bench.

Kuroo and Kenma noticed this and looked at each other, nodding. They walked over and sat down on each side of him. "What's wrong kitten?" Kuroo asked.

"I-I'm sad," (M/N) stammered, curling up into a ball. "You guys.. you guys forgot.. and now I feel like I did something wrong, or like I'm not good enough, because you guys couldn't even remember one day.."

Kenma sighed and put a hand on (M/N)'s. "Don't say that.. we're sorry," he murmured. He stood up, pulling the other boy to his feet. "Come with me. Kuroo, you too."

Kuroo nodded, and the three of them left the gym. They walked around, silence thick between the three of them. Finally, Kuroo broke, groaning loudly. "Alright, I give! I can't let you be sad today!" He exclaimed. He reached into his gym short pockets and held up a small bag. "Happy birthday kitten. I'm really sorry - I promise, it wasn't to hurt you."

Kenma sighed and nodded in agreement, pulling out a bag as well. "Yaku's going to kill us for this, but you deserve it," he murmured. He smiled a little and handed the bag to (M/N). "Happy birthday, puddin'."

(M/N)'s eyes softened as he took the bags, hands a bit shaky. He opened the bag from Kuroo, surprised to see a choker inside. It had some metal clasps and lots of shiny adornments, something that made the second-year very happy. "Shiny!" He whispered happily, looking up at Kuroo. "Thank you Tetsu!" He beamed.

"You're welcome," Kuroo laughed, wrapping his arms around the second year's waist. As he buried his hair in the boy's (H/L) (H/C) hair, he said, "Open Kenma's gift."

(M/N) opened the bag and squealed when he saw what was inside. A freshly bought Animal Crossing game was inside, along with a small cat figure. "One time when I visited Miyagi to hang out with Shouyou, I saw this old lady's shop that sold these.. this one reminded me of you. I had Sho ship it over," Kenma explained bashfully, awkwardly twiddling his fingers.

(M/N) blinked a few times, then grinned happily. He began to let out happy squeaks, blinking rapidly and bouncing on the heels of his shoes. "Thank you!" He squealed, jumping forward and hugging his boyfriends. "Thank you, thank you!"

"You're welcome!" Kuroo laughed and Kenma chuckled. When the trio pulled apart, Kuroo and Kenma watched as (M/N) made happy noises and squirmed with excitement, putting his new choker on. "Now, ready to head back inside?"

"Ooh, sure!" (M/N) cheered, putting the bag from Kenma in his pocket. The three linked hands and started walking back, but (M/N) remembered something as they walked up to the gym doors. "Hey Kenma, what did you mean when you said Yaku would kill you guys-?" He asked as the doors swung open.

"SURPRISE!"

(M/N) squeaked and jumped, looking ahead. The Nekoma volleyball team were gathered around a small table, balloons and confetti decorating it. A cake laid in the center, and gifts sat on the floor. "Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!" They all sang while (M/N), Kuroo, and Kenma stepped over to the table. "Happy birthday dear (M/N)! Happy birthday to you! WOO!"

"CHA CHA CHA!" Lev added, causing everyone to laugh.

"You guys all.. did this for me..?" (M/N) whispered. Everyone nodded, even the coaches. He looked at the candles and grinned widely. "Aww.. guys! Thank you so much!" He exclaimed, eyes tearing up from excitement.

"Well what are you waiting for kitten? Blow the candles out!" Kuroo laughed, rubbing (M/N)'s back. Kenma nodded, holding his hand beneath the table.

(M/N) closed his eyes for a few seconds, then drew a deep breath and blew out all the candles on the cake. When he pulled back, Yamamoto piped up. "Oh dude, did your stuff heal?!" He asked.

"Huh? Oh yeah!"

"Stuff?" Kuroo and Kenma said in unison and (M/N) grinned and nodded. Yamamoto handed him a gift box and (M/N) turned around.

When he turned back around and looked at Kuroo and Kenma, he had a septum piercing in his nose. To top it off, he stuck his tongue out, showing off a metal ball on his tongue.

Kuroo grinned devilishly and gently kissed (M/N), making sure to get a feel for that new piercing of his. When they pulled apart, (M/N) was left blushing, but that didn't stop Kenma from following behind.

"...That's hot."

"SNZOWMZKA KUROO-!"

"GET A ROOM YOU THREE, THERE ARE CHILDREN HERE!" Yaku and Nekomata scolded. "Now let's eat cake!"

As everyone began to chatter and rush forward to get some (favorite flavor) cake, (M/N) fondly smiled and chuckled. "Thank you guys for this. I love you all so much."
