You have a fansite. It's called "His Kitten Boi" and I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

oh my god

[determine]

if i pretend i don't know you do you think they'd deactivate

[oxyhemoglobin]

There are pictures of us together, Kenma.

[determine]

circumstantial evidence.

[determine]

[ continued from here ]

it doesn't sound cool.

[ but that doesn't mean he's not mildly worried... ]

that's what happens with knives you idiot.

[ though he wonders if he needs help. surely kuroo has a first aid kit in his dorm...right...?! ]

@ catpitan

[determine]

[ from here ]

i am patient.

[ sometimes. sort of. more like he's a bit on the lazy side as everyone knows, though this somehow never gets in the way of his work or aught else. today he's perhaps a little less so, flopping back on his bed from his half-sitting up posture, feet curling together as he grabs for his switch only to...not turn it on.

birthdays aren't super important per se. but he likes his well-grown habits: spending it with kuroo, is certainly one of them.

picking up his phone again, he taps out another message, ]

take your time
i'll nap or something.

[ he's allowed to be sleepy on his birthday. ]

[catpitan]

[Kuroo will argue and say that birthdays are very important. And it's probably the only day where he's not being pushy around Kenma to go to practice or stop being lazy aka stop playing video games. But ever since they met they spent every birthday together, both Kuroo's and Kenma's, and it's like a tradition now.

He sends several cat emojis as an answer and then packs up stuff he needs, mostly gifts (keychain from Hinata, cards and trinkets from the team, and a puffy red scarf, along with cake, from himself).

Kuroo lets himself in Kenma's house, like many times he did before, apologizes for the intrusion, and makes his way towards Kenma's room?]

Kenma!

[Naps have come to an end.]

[determine]

[Naps coming to an end is alright if he's getting a whole apple pie; very specific requirements, this end-of-naps thing. Knowing he's been promised one as he does though, Kenma tugs himself out of his half-sleep half-wakefulness enough to un-burrito himself from his blankets and sit up. The moment Kuroo is in his doorway - also open - he looks at him expectantly, and, because he knows he doesn't have to actually say 'okay where is it' to him, he doesn't, just continues to stare.

Then, as an after-thought, he moves over slightly on his bed to make room for Kuroo to sit, if he wants to. They can eat there or on the floor for all Kenma cares, though the bed is more comfortable and Kenma's feet under the edge of the blanket sort of are nice and warm where they are.]

[slykitty]

Heard an interesting rumor on campus today.

[determine]

Why is it interesting?

[slykitty]

It's about me and my girlfriend!!

1/2

[determine]

[ brain screech halt EXCUSE mE wait... ]

2/2

[determine]

And how you don't have one?

[ he is sure he wasn't asleep for THAT long....... r i g h t ]

@ onisenpai

[determine]

I guess it didn't end there.

[ this is his version of mercy. ]

[onisenpai]

uuuUUUUUUUUUGH

[That’s literally it. He can’t even put his misery in words.]

[determine]

Why not drink less?

Get in loser we're getting Baked Goods

[saltinourstars]

[Next day, after the party - ]

You'd better not have played N64 all night when I gave you an exit strategy

What's the address?

[Good morning!]

THE WAY I LAUGHED thank u for this

[determine]

I didn't.

[ not 'all' night. listen. bad habits die hard! or something! ]

Here.
Whenever works for you.

[ He sends the address, already on his way out himself in an unusual but not impossible demonstration of awareness for what he owes Tsukishima as well as how time works. Switch in bag, he'd planned to just kill time in the park adjacent to the cafe/bakery until whatever time happens to be good for him. ]

<3 Raise your hand if you have been Personally Victimized by Kuroo Tetsurō

[saltinourstars]

Got it

[Tsukki takes Kenma at his word. There's only a couple of pages left in the reading, better to knock them out early.

That done, it's headphones, keys, out the door. Jacket zipped against the chill. For January, it's not bad. Rare slices of sunshine are even struggling through.

He nods along to a new favorite (new for him), until the bakery comes into view.]

[determine]

[  from here ]

Both.

[oxyhemoglobin]

If your contract said something about sex, I'd be concerned. Pretty sure that dying isn't allowed, though, so eating a proper meal now and then must be implied in a clause somewhere.

[determine]

There isn't one as far as I know.
And true, but I'm not hungry.

continuing tfln

[leftwinger]

I believe it is someone that knows you and I.

[Which gets the tepid blood in Ushijima's veins to a higher temperature.]

Why else would they put your name in the national team training center bathroom?

<3 <3 <3

[determine]

that does sort of sound like it
but kind of petty
someone one of us refused an interview? well probably me

[ although it bothers kenma, it is...kenma. so of course he's not inclined to say it. ]

[leftwinger]

A disgruntled Bouncing Ball employee, perhaps? Or someone that learned of our relationship...

I should contact the police. I am sure a forensic detective will be able to find some DNA on the graffiti.
