It was the day after graduation. The teens decided the date a month ago. Tokyo, they also decided, was the best place to meet. More spacious areas for the large group of teens to meet up at most likely existed there.
Kuroo was tapping away at his phone, contacting the others to find their location. Bokuto stood nearby with Akaashi and Tsukishima. Yaku and Lev were window shopping a few feet away. Another decision made a month ago was that they'd bring along their significant others even if they weren't a third year. Bokuto suddenly shouted and waved.
Sawamura was making his way through the crowd, towing Suga by the hand and followed by Asahi, Nishinoya, Shimizu, and Yachi. Suga waved and shouted back.
"Bring it in, Sawamura" Kuroo smirked at him and walked towards him with open arms. Sawamura stood still as Kuroo wrapped his large arms around him. Tentatively he brought his own arms up and patted him on the back slowly.
"You can just call me Daichi at this point...most people do"
"Ok Dadchi"
"Daichi"
"Dadchi"
"Whatever"
Suddenly, a squeal was heard from their left. Oikawa was jumping up and down and waving, accompanied by an embarrassed Iwaizumi and a gleeful Matsukawa and Hanamaki.
"Someone sure is happy to be here" Daichi said. "I thought you weren't too fond of us, to be completely honest"
"Of course I like you guys! I trust you enough to tell you my little secret and everything!" Oikawa replied, almost offended at the accusation.
"I'm happy to be here because I received a blow job on a train for the first time"
"MAKKI ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!"
"We lied about trying to find the snack bar"
"I'm actually going to cry"
"Ugh why can't my boyfriends be more like you guys"
"Tetsurou, we're hearing every word"
"Sorry Keiji"
"Anyway" Daichi interrupted. "Where are we going? And we need a head count, we can't lose anyone"
"Dadchi strikes again!" Nishinoya exclaimed, sending the group into a fit of giggles.
A stern lecture and 16 counted heads later, Kuroo led the group through the train station and out onto the streets of Tokyo. He chuckled at the chatter he could hear behind him from the excitable teenagers.
"Kiyoko-san look at that! They sell meat buns over there we should go get some!"
"Not now, Noya"
"Kiyoko, do you think we can go get some jewelry later? I w-wanna buy you something n-nice..."
"That's so sweet, Hitoka. We'll see how late it is when we're done"
"Keiiiiiiiiijiiiii why don't you ever offer to buy me things?"
"You don't do anything to deserve gifts, Koutarou"
"You buy Kei little things all the time!"
"He deserves them"
"No fair you can't pick favorites! There's three of us we all need equal affection!"
"Fine, I'll buy you something later"
"Thank you Keiji I love you. You're next Kei, don't think you're exempt from random gift giving"
"Exempt is a pretty big word for you, Kou, do you feel alright?"
"Fuck you guys I'm walking with Tetsu" Bokuto finished, stomping over to Kuroo and grabbing his hand.
"At least there's two of you to handle Bokuto and Kuroo. I have to deal with Oikawa, Matsukawa, AND Hanamaki singlehandedly and I'm only dating one of them"
"I'll keep you in my thoughts, Iwaizumi"
"Thanks Akaashi"
Kuroo stopped in front of what seemed to be a ramen restaurant.
"I hope you're hungry because I reserved a huge-ass table for us so you better fucking enjoy this" he said.
16 teenagers sat around a table. Ramen was eaten, dropped, thrown. They almost got kicked out after a playful food fight between Hanamaki and Oikawa became a full on war between almost everyone at the table. Payment included a large tip after that.
"So, where to next?" Yaku asked.
"No idea" Kuroo responded. He laughed at the wide eyed stares he received. "I was thinking maybe a park? To just lounge around and talk, maybe play a game? There should be one around here..."
"There is!" Lev piped up. "I can kinda see a sign from here...it's somewhere over there" he pointed.
"That's my baby" Yaku said proudly.
"But you're the short one"
"I'm breaking up with you"
"What?!"
Suga desperately tried to resolve the argument as the group walked in the general direction of where Lev indicated the park to be.
"I guess we're here then!" Kuroo gestured at the expanse of the almost empty park.
"So...what should we do?" Azumane asked tentatively.
"We should...share embarrassing stories!" suggested Nishinoya, plopping himself down in the grass. One by one everyone else did too, forming a circle.
"If you're so keen on that happening, why don't you start?" Oikawa said.
"Ok! So this one time I was like high as all fuck and I walk into my house and my mom is all like 'Yuu where have you been' and I was all like 'fuckin your bitch' and I got grounded"
"That's not very embarrassing, though it is hilarious"
"Hmph. Then why don't YOU tell one, Oikawa?" Noya huffed.
"Alright. I guess I'll tell the story about when I came out as trans to Hajime because it's embarrassing for the both of us"
"Oh my god please don't tell that story!"
"Sorry Hajime, I gotta. Ok so I had just kinda figured out what transgender even meant and I sorta realized it applied to me. And I did what you should NEVER EVER DO: I starting binding with ace bandages. Hajime and I had just started being friends at this point I believe, so he just knew me as male. So this one time I forgot to lock my bedroom door, and I had just pulled out the bandages right, and I'm there with no shirt or anything on, just boobs hanging out. Suddenly, my door busts open and Hajime is there and I just froze. Wide eyed, titties out, I just froze. He's doing the same thing and then I just blurt out 'me not girl' like a fucking caveman or something! And he just like...grunts and leaves. I don't know why we regressed millions of years but it was hilarious!"
"I can't believe you just told that story"
"Holy shit" Kuroo wheezed. "Why didn't you KNOCK, Iwaizumi?!"
"Shut up, why don't you go huh?"
"I'm not embarrassed by anything, so you've probably heard any stories that might embarrass me"
"How about the foreign object incident hmm?"
"KEI"
"Oh yeah, I meant to ask you about that. Tell us" Daichi urged.
"Literally the one thing I've ever done that I'm ashamed of, and you just HAD to bring it up didn't you?"
"Love you too, Tetsu" Tsukishima smirked.
"Fine. But none of you EVER mention this again or I will destroy you"
"You're scaring Yachi just tell us"
"Alright. So me and Kei were getting freaky, sorry to corrupt innocent ears but you wanted this, and Kei said he wanted to try something different, like toys or something. Then my dumb ass was like 'I don't have any, let's use this zucchini'. I know it seems hard to believe that I don't have any sex toys ok. So anyway, we lube up this zucchini and shove it up my ass. Eventually I was like 'ok that enough' and went to go pull it out but it wouldn't move. I think when Kei urged me to tell this story he forgot his part in it..."
"Oh...my god yeah let's not-"
"Oh I'm finishing it. You started this. So we're both freaking the fuck out like what else are you gonna do there's a zucchini stuck in an asshole there isn't much you can do. Then Kei is like 'wait, maybe if we like stretch it we can pull it out' and I can't really object to anything at this point. He runs off and comes back with, you won't believe this, fucking salad tongs. And he's like 'I'm gonna have to put these up there too'. At this point it's just super painful and I don't know what to do so I just...let him do it. I let him attempt to stick salad tongs in my ass. Then THEY got stuck. So we had to call an ambulance and it was extremely awkward"
The group was dead silent.
"Oh...my...god" Oikawa whispered.
"Hitoka, I'm so sorry you had to hear that" Shimizu consoled a shell shocked Yachi who looked like she was on the verge of fainting.
Tsukishima's face was bright red and Bokuto was struggling to breathe.
"That...story...gets...funnier...every...time" he managed.
"Enlighten us with your embarrassing moment then"
"O-ok" Bokuto took a few deep breaths to stop his laughter. "I started dying my hair around the second year of junior high. I tried doing it myself because I knew my parents wouldn't let me dye my hair white. I didn't know how to do it though and ended up just bleaching it a really ugly shade of blonde. Curse you dark hair. Then I was like 'well what the fuck am I supposed to do now? My parents will kill me!' So then I like sneak into my dad's office and grab like 5 black sharpies. A filled a bowl with water, broke the sharpies into it, and then just stuck my head in. I didn't hear my parents come home and my mom walked in on me and scared me shitless and I jumped so fast I fell down and took the bowl with me, so I ended up drenched in sharpie water that stained my face for days"
"Did it fix your hair?" Yachi asked.
"Not at all!" Bokuto replied, laughing.
"God, you're so cute" Akaashi groaned into Bokuto's shoulder.
"You bet I am!" he grinned.
"I think Akaashi should go next as punishment for being a raging homosexual" Matsukawa piped up.
"Mattsun, you gave Makki a blowjob on the train here you're one to talk"
"I just want to hear his story"
"Well alright then. This is most likely the most stereotypical embarrassing story in the world, but it's the only one I can recall at the moment. I thought I was home alone, so I decided to blow off some steam the only way teenage boys seem to be able to" he started, getting nods from at least half of the other teens. "So, I was sitting there doing my thing, and my mom walks in. My mom just stood there and stared at me, I still have my dick in my hand, and neither of us are moving. She just...backed up and closed the door and refused to meet my eye for at least a week after that" Akaashi finished.
"I can't believe Akaashi jerks off" Nishinoya commented.
"Noya! Don't say things like that!" his boyfriend grabbed him and covered his mouth with his hand. With a yelp, he pulled his hand off of Nishinoya's grinning face and wiped his hand on his jeans.
"Noya...did you just lick Asahi?" Suga asked.
"Yep!"
"Why don't we do something else before Yachi and Asahi have heart attacks?" Daichi suggested.
"Spin the bottle!"
"No, Nishinoya"
"We could...share our favorite thing about high school, or at least this year of it?" Azumane said.
"I like that idea" Kiyoko smiled.
"Yeah! Mine is starting out my relationship with my hot as fuck boyfriends!" Bokuto beamed. Akaashi intertwined their fingers and the corners of his mouth turned up in a soft smile.
"Mine was getting to set for you, Koutarou. I'll miss that next year" he said and Bokuto squeezed his hand a little tighter, smiling down at him fondly.
"Mine was just getting to play volleyball with my team. My family" Daichi stated.
"Daichi, you're gonna make me cry" Suga sniffed. "I think that's my favorite too"
"Mine too..." Asahi said.
"My favorite is definitely all the sex" Hanamaki said. "And torturing Oikawa and Iwaizumi"
"I second that" Matsukawa smirked.
"I hate you, but not really, because my favorite part of high school is getting to grow up playing volleyball with you two and Hajime" Oikawa said quietly.
"I lied, that's my favorite too" Hanamaki whispered. Matsukawa nodded in agreement.
The group fell into a solemn silence. Hands were held, people embraced, tears shed.
"I just...can't believe it's over. Most of us here are going to COLLEGE. We're adults" Yaku said.
"Some of us don't look like it though" Lev whispered under his breath.
"What was that?" Yaku snapped.
"N-nothing!"
"Thought so"
"It's a scary thought, that we're adults" Matsukawa said. "I can hardly do my own laundry for fucks sake"
"Is that why you keep me around, to do your chores?" Hanamaki teased.
"Maybe. You'd make the perfect housewife, 'Hiro"
"Is that a proposal?"
"Not yet"
"So...you guys are gonna live together then?" Iwaizumi asked.
"Yep. We almost have a place. Apartment hunting is hard" Hanamaki replied with a sigh.
"Me and Daichi plan on living together too! We haven't looked anywhere yet because someone" Suga glared at Daichi, "can't make up his mind about anything"
"Love you too, Koushi"
"Awwwww you called him his first name!" Oikawa squealed. Suga and Daichi reddened.
"S-so what? He's my boyfriend I think I'm entitled to use his given name. Shut up Oikawa!"
"I'll miss this" Shimizu sighed. "Everyone's bickering is a little tiresome, but I'll definitely miss it"
Everyone agreed.
"I wish we graduated this year too! It's gonna be different without any of you guys around" Noya pouted.
"Yes it will, but change happens. We can't help it" Akaashi said. "Things will change, but that doesn't mean they'll be bad"
A sobering silence enveloped the group once again.
"What time are your trains at?" Kuroo asked.
"Um...8:30"
"8:45"
"Well it's 8 now and we have to walk all the way back...we might not make it"
"We just gotta RUN" Nishinoya bolted. Everyone sighed and ran after him.
16 teenagers ran through the streets of Tokyo, earning stares and icy glares from anyone still out and about. By the time they got to the station, it was 8:20.
"Bye everyone...we definitely should do this again some time" Daichi addressed the people who weren't leaving yet.
"Don't think you're going anywhere without another hug, Dadchi" Kuroo walked towards him with arms wide once again. This time, Daichi embraced him as well.
"Don't I get a hug too?" Oikawa pouted.
"Sure, Oikawa" Kuroo laughed, and hugged him too.
By the time everyone had gotten their fill of hugs, it was 8:27.
"Oh shit we have to go. Bye everybody, let's make plans to do this again" Daichi said.
"Will do. Bye guys" Kuroo and the others waved as everyone boarded their own trains.
The ride home was quiet. Everyone kept to themselves as they processed the reality of what their world would be like now. They've graduated high school. Well, most of them. The younger few were faced with the harsh reality that their lives wouldn't be the same without their seniors.
But, despite all the hardships and difficult times to come, they were happy.
