"tooru tooru tooru i have bad news," kuroo announces, smirking at him. "and you're never gonna believe it."

"what is it?" oikawa asks, raising an eyebrow.

"koutarou's no longer single."

"good for him, right?" he says, smiling, "why's that bad?"

"your gaydar is broken~" he sings, "he has a boyfriend!"

"no he does not," oikawa gasps, sitting up, "koutarou?! but he's so incredibly hetero!"

"that's fifty bucks. i called it," he smirks. oikawa groans as he flops back.

"who's the lucky guy?"

"someone named sugawara koushi, and boy, is he pretty."

"you're hurting me, tetsu."

"yeah, yeah, whatever. i could barely believe it at first. but kou's absolutely infatuated."

"but if he's koushi, and he's koutarou, who am i gonna call kou-chan?!"

"tetsu, what the fuck."

"told you."

"he's not pretty. he's gorgeous," oikawa says, jaw dropped, "he rivals keiji, oh my god, is he a model? what did koutarou do to get him?"

"are you saying he's ugly?" kuroo laughs.

"i'm saying that he's the most beautiful thing i've seen in a while."

"gee, thanks," kuroo says sarcastically as they enter the cafe, heading towards the couple for their double date.

"hey guys!" bokuto grins, waving over at them, "over here!"

"hey kou-chan!" oikawa grins, hugging him quickly before sitting down, "sugawara-san, nice to meet you!"

"likewise," he smiles brightly, and oikawa's seen the laugh of angels.

"hey suga," kuroo grins as he sits down, having already met him before.

"we got you hot chocolate, kuroo slipped it's your favourite," sugawara smiles as he gently pushes the drink towards oikawa.

"so sweet, thank you," oikawa says, smiling brightly as he takes a sip.

"no problem! first impressions matter, right?" he winks, and oikawa chuckles.

"i knew you two'd get along well," bokuto grins, mostly to himself.

"tooru's got a crush on him," kuroo says casually, and oikawa smacks his arm.

"shut up, tetsu," he pouts, "what's wrong with you?"

"i'm not gonna lie, i stared at you too for a long moment," sugawara grins, "i'm pleasantly surprised."

oikawa looks at him. "is this what love feels like?"

"tooru, back off," bokuto pouts, wrapping his arms around the silver-haired male, "i worked hard for him!"

"that's unfair! i basically got this one as a non-refundable gift!" oikawa complains, gesturing at kuroo.

"i love to know where i stand in the relationship. i'm always so valued." nobody listens.

"that's your fault. he's mine now," bokuto retorts, kissing sugawara's cheek, who rolls his eyes playfully.

"boys, boys, we'll work this out later. let's give kuroo some love, alright?"

"but suga-chan," oikawa pouts, "i thought you loved me!"

"of course i do."

"yeah. really cute," kuroo rolls his eyes. "stop acting like teenagers, for god's sake."

"tetsuuuu,"

"no."

"tetsu, please, forgive me, my love."

"i bet sugawara will forgive you."

"i bet he will. but i want your forgiveness."

"piss off, oikawa, go cling on to sugawara."

"what can i do to get you to love me again?"

"nothing."

"i'll make only mackerel for a week."

"make sugawara mackerel."

"no way. he likes spicy mapo tofu. hmm... i'll let you hog the blankets."

"you can send our blankets in a box to sugawara."

"i'll suck you off?"

"you can suck sugawara off," kuroo retorts, raising an eyebrow as he looks down at a pleading oikawa.

"can i really?" he asks, "honestly, that's not a bad idea."

"no, you can't," kuroo says, reaching for his zipper, "but i'll take you up on that earlier offer."

"will you love me if i do this for you?"

"yes oikawa, because the only way i'll ever love you is if you give me sexual favours," he says sarcastically, "no, i just really want you to get me off. and not get off in return." he smirks down at him. oikawa groans.

"fine," he sighs. kuroo leans backwards.

"tooru, what the fuck."

"i know," oikawa says in to the phone, "he's gorgeous."

"this isn't fair. we were the pretty ones," akaashi goes along with oikawa's act; he has quite a lot of humour in him, "and now bokuto got the prettiest of all."

"tetsu told me i should suck him off a few days back. i almost did."

"you should."

"i might make that my life mission. anyway, how's things with the little one?"

"we just finished the baby room. terushima's done whatever he can, and it looks amazing. i'm nervous. it's about two weeks away... tooru, i'm going to be a father."

"you're going to do great," oikawa says confidently, "amazing, even. i'm so excited for you!"

"i'd like for you to come see her as soon as possible," akaashi says, "you've been my best friend for so long, i want you to be one of the first."

"keiji, really?"

"yeah. how does uncle tooru sound?"

oikawa wipes his face. "i'm crying," he whispers, "keiji, you're insane."

"i couldn't think of a better person. neither of us two have siblings, you're the closest thing we have to an uncle, or anything like that. you and tetsurou are like family to us, honestly. you know, with my parents still being difficult about me being with a guy, and his living all the way in okinawa..."

"i'll be there whenever you want me to be there. you call me, and i'll be over as soon as i can."

"thank you, tooru, it means a lot."
