Hope Is the Thing with Feathers (Chapters 5 & 6)
Chapter 1 | Chapter 5 | Chapter 6
Hi there and thank you for caring enough to click on this after four (4) years. Full disclosure, I have been hoarding these two chapters for at least three of those years. I had a plan to not post another chapter until I could finish the fic so I could stop feeling like I was disappointing people, but then time just kept going and I never had it in me to write any more. I really wanted to go through the whole entire thing and fix the mistakes that I know are in the published chapters and sort of re-present this fic as one finished story, instead of random chapters written in very different parts of my life. But that obviously didn't happen.
I decided the other day (while in the shower, of course), that I was going to just post these chapters as they are. I'm not at all in love with them, and I'm not sure any one is going to care after all this time, but I just felt like I needed to do it. All I can hope for is that during these absurd and troubling times around the world, and for those of you who may be having a difficult time this holiday season, as I am, that I can make at least one person smile by uploading these chapters.

Summary:
Kuroo remembers the moment fondly. They were in their second year of high school, laying on the floor of an empty classroom one night during training camp. Kuroo learned so much about him that night. He can still remember how he felt, staring at this beam of sunshine in the dark room, watching him as he spoke about everything and anything, with passion for all of it.
Thatβs why he knows how much having a soulmate means to Bokuto. And while Bokuto has expressed a genuine fear of never getting his soulmark, Kuroo has always done everything to reassure him that that wonβt happen. Bokuto deserves the kind of love that people dream about. And Kuroo knows that itβs out there waiting for him. The universe would never disappoint its greatest creation.

Alternatively: local university boys don't know what to do with their emotions even when the universe does most of the work for them.
