on hiatus

akaashi was quiet for a moment. in all honesty, he’d already bought a gift for bokuto, and he just hadn’t wanted to drag bokuto around the stores looking for other stuff… but it seemed his ex-captain needed to do some shopping of his own, thus eliminating akaashi’s concerns. 

“why would i be doing anything but sleeping?” akaashi asked quietly, more to himself then to kuroo, not wanting an answer from the taller, older male who was slipping into his bed. akaashi felt the dip of his mattress, his body gravitating towards kuroo’s. akaashi took this in his stride, lifting an arm and his head to rest on kuroo’s chest and shoulder. 

“if you want me to understand you, then speak japanese.” akaashi said. he gently kicked kuroo’s leg with his foot, putting no real force behind it. it was sleepy, almost playful. “even if spanish does sound… pretty…” the younger male admitted. he liked it when kuroo spoke spanish… it sounded nice, smooth and rolling off the tongue, even if kuroo’s accent wasn’t the best. 

{ MEOW }

          That was true. Just because the cat was up didn’t mean everyone else was up as well. It was pretty rude just to invite himself in, huh? He was just glad Akaashi was open to his company. 

          As soon as he felt the heaviness on his chest and shoulder, the cat’s arm wrapped around the owl and he tugged the boy close against his side, resting his hand on the side of his thigh. “Eh, but that’s no fun. Why don’t you just learn Spanish like me and then progressively understand what I say? It took me a solid five years and I’m still learning.” Kuroo laughed lightly before letting his head fall to the side, closing his eyes. “Thank you. I’m still working on my accent but it’s getting better, right?”

          After a few seconds, he lowered his hand just a bit more and gave the latter a quick squeeze on his right butt cheek. 

“five years is a long time to learn a language i’ll only use to speak to one person.” akaashi retorted. however, the idea had occurred to him before... but he was a perfectionist about those sorts of things. he didn’t want to half-ass it, or speak to kuroo terrible pronunciation, or poor grammar, or use the wrong word. he wanted kuroo to be impressed if he made such efforts... 

“besides, by the time i learn for five years, you’ll have learnt for ten, and be ahead of me again. i won’t be able to catch up.” with a small sigh, akaashi closed his eyes and resigned himself to sleep. he was just growing comfortable with the rise and fall of kuroo’s chest when he suddenly felt that hand move... and squeeze his ass. the pressure of kuroo’s long fingers pressing into his flesh gave him a small thrill. he blushed, heart rate suddenly rising. 

akaashi was sleeping soundly until he heard the key in the lock, and he was awake with a small start. logically, he knew it would have to be someone who had a key… but he couldn’t stop himself watching the door to his bedroom until it opened, kuroo came into view and he let out a small exhale of relief and relaxed. 

“i have no idea what you just said…” he replied groggily, feeling his eyelids getting heavy again, now that he knew he wasn’t in immediate danger. “why are you here so early? you made me worry…” 

his confession was met with him slowly moving towards the wall, until his back was touching it through his duvet, and he pulled back enough on the other side to suggest to kuroo he was welcome to join him. 

{ MEOW }

          A low chuckled emitted from his throat as he let his posture relax and he was standing up straight once more. “Makes sense.” He was pretty sure no matter who he said that to, no one would actually know the meaning. Hell, most people didn’t know what their english shirts said. “I woke up early and I had nothing to do so I wanted to come and visit. See what you were up to.”

          Kuroo only watched at first while Akaashi readjusted himself in his bed before he gently tugged off his thin jacket, neatly laying it over the bottom of the bed. “¿Sigues siendo una cabeza soñolienta?” He smiled widely and kicked off his shoes, falling back in the bed before folding his hands on top of his chest. 

          He already knew he wouldn’t be able to go back to sleep and, if he did, it would be for a very short time. Either way, he liked the company and he felt Akaashi was the same. 

“why would i be doing anything but sleeping?” akaashi asked quietly, more to himself then to kuroo, not wanting an answer from the taller, older male who was slipping into his bed. akaashi felt the dip of his mattress, his body gravitating towards kuroo’s. akaashi took this in his stride, lifting an arm and his head to rest on kuroo’s chest and shoulder. 

{ MEOW } 

          It was an early morning. The sun was still rising and the birds had just begun to wake up and chirp. So…Why was he up? 

          The cat began to pull a silver key out of his pocket, his lips holding a lollipop in his mouth. Even he wasn’t completely sure why he had pushed himself to get up and travel so early ( especially since he stayed up so late on the weekends ) but here he was and, honestly, it was too late to turn back and he was too lazy to. After a few, failed, attempts to get the key in the doorknob, he leaned forward and hit his head on the wood, steading his hand until he was able to insert it and unlock the door. 

          It didn’t take long for him to get in and get comfortable. Having obviously walked through the living space before, he smoothly zigzagged between the furniture and made his way to one of the doors that stood against the wall, gently tapping his knuckles against the wood before inviting himself in. Once he knew he was in view, he rose his hand in to Llama shapes and posed. 

          “Halo, ¿cómo estás?”

“i have no idea what you just said...” he replied groggily, feeling his eyelids getting heavy again, now that he knew he wasn’t in immediate danger. “why are you here so early? you made me worry...”
