Ennoaka Weekend 2k17

Title: Sidekicks (chapter 1/3 Drip/Drop) Ship: Akaashi Keiji/Ennoshita Chikara Characters: Akaashi, Ennoshita, Futakuchi Tags: alcohol, future fic, domestic A/N: I started writing this in December then procrasticated. @ennoakaweekend kick-started the fic for me and although I’m late, here’s my entry for the prompt ‘conflict’. Thank you! A/A/N: There are gratuitous references to The Raven Cycle, Writing, YAL, rubbish movies and plumbing. I even researched the plumbing, that’s how committed I am! (and sad)

Summary:

Akaashi Keiji spends his days working through the slush pile to find the next YAL bestseller. At night he comes home to his film enthusiast boyfriend, who’s just landed his first directing job. And except for a broken tap that Chikara has promised to fix, life is good, Keiji knows it is … really.

But there’s this feeling dripping at him that at twenty-five he should be achieving more.

Cue an attempt to mend the offending tap, plus a surprise visit from an old college friend of Chikara’s and life is about to take a different turn.

Keiji stared at the water, watched as it formed into a silver blur of a teardrop, perfect in every respect, clinging on to its ceiling with a force weakening as every second passed. It bulged at the bottom, its weight increasing as if the sand from an hourglass was trickling downwards. Still it grasped, the wobble steadying, and then just when it could have hoped for safety, the droplet fell, smashing onto the stainless steel floor, splattering to nothing.

“Don’t you dare,” Keiji muttered.

But threats did nothing. The tap mocked him anew, gathering strength to begin the cycle again.

Drip

It was stupid to let it get to him, but coming after the other niggle (over a broken cup) and then Chikara’s enthusiastic gloating when he’d got more questions correct in the quiz they liked to watch together, the dripping tap that he’d promised to fix now sounded like water torture to Keiji’s throbbing head.

Drop

He’d not eaten well, either, grabbing a quick snack at work, coming home to find Chikara had been delayed so hadn’t prepared anything for dinner. So the headache thrumming at his brain was probably more a case of lack of food and dehydration rather than any external forces.

Drip

It didn’t stop him blaming the fricking tap, though. Or Chikara, who had promised to fix it.

Chapter 3/3

Summary:  When Chikara gets interrupted by Akaashi while he was resting in the changing room, he’d have never imagined that their conversation would be the start of so much more.

Chikara’s heart was still racing. Now that he was sitting in his room by himself and the events of the day were sinking in, waves of doubt came crashing down on him. They were about to kiss, there was no way for him to misinterpret that, was it? He ran his hands through his hair.

He had to talk to Akaashi. It would still take him at least an hour for him to arrive at home.

The stack of unfinished homework on Chikara’s desk caught his eye. He might have neglected it for a couple of days in favour of focusing on volleyball. Getting some work done would be a welcome distraction, he didn’t want to think about volleyball for a moment, because that would immediately direct his thoughts back to Akaashi again.

Chikara was making progress. He wouldn’t have imagined that he’d be able to focus on something, yet the stack next to him grew smaller and smaller. The task at hand was taking up all the space in his mind, pushing doubt and worries aside, which was exactly what he needed.

He jumped when he received a message on skype. How much time had passed?

     Hi.

Alright, Chikara, stay calm. Skype went off again.

     Aka.ashiK

     Can I call you?

Chapter 2/3

Summary:  When Chikara gets interrupted by Akaashi while he was resting in the changing room, he’d have never imagined that their conversation would be the start of so much more.

Chikara was sitting on his bed, his blanket wrapped around him, with the laptop in front of him as the only light source in the room. He was tapping his fingers lightly against the keyboard without actually pressing down on the keys.

He was still not sure how he had managed to ask Akaashi for his phone number. They had started texting, at first mostly about volleyball – Akaashi recommended him an interesting book about game strategies – then they diverted to movies, a topic Chikara could talk about for hours, and now it’s come to this.

A symbol popped open on his laptop and the sound of a call started playing. He panicked for a second before he hit the green button.

“Hey, can you hear me?” he asked.

“Yes, I can hear you just fine,” came the response.

Chikara adjusted his volume accordingly. “Your webcam is offline, can you see me?”

“Yes, I see you. I can switch mine on, give me a moment.” He heard mouse clicking and keyboard sounds, then a window popped open and he saw Akaashi’s face. Akaashi.

Chikara smiled. “Hey. It’s nicer talking like this, I feel self-conscious when I’m the only one with the webcam activated.”

Akaashi laughed. “Karasuno’s captain, feeling self-conscious because his webcam is on.”

Ennoaka Weekend Day 1:  conflict / harmony

Pairing: Ennoaka

Summary:  When Chikara gets interrupted by Akaashi while he was resting in the changing room, he’d have never imagined that their conversation would be the start of so much more.

Chikara leaned against his locker, a wet towel draped over his face. He had his eyes closed. The training camp was tougher than he would’ve expected. It had been a long first day. The door to the changing room opened but he didn’t bother moving.

“I’m sorry, Suga, but I’m not in the mood for another match.” Some of them were already resting, while some were still playing two versus two matches.

“I’m not Sugawara-san.”

Chikara’s eyes shot open. He recognized that voice. He yanked the towel off his head and stared right at Akaashi Keiji. What was Fukurodani’s vice-captain doing here?

“I hope I didn’t startle you, I’m supposed to lock the changing rooms since we’re finished for the day,” he said and held a bunch of keys up.

Chikara nodded. “Of course. Give me a second to gather my things.” He was a second-year just like him. A great setter, calm, collected, dangerously handsome. Chikara stopped himself right there. He must’ve noticed the occasional glances he’d shoot him when he wasn’t looking.
