Chapter Text
"Ok, we're done with setter practice." Announced Oikawa walking into the training gym. He was practically draped across Yamaguchi. Tch.
"No, it was because I'm done with you, Tooru."
"Ouch, Tadashi." Wow, they dropped the 'chan' and 'senpai' within an hour. Tch.
"Oi, KusoKawa, what's that on your forearm?"
"Eh?" Yamaguchi also looked over.
"It's a platonic soulmark! Look Tadashi, its your mark combined with mine." All colour drained from his face.
A platonic soulmark. A mark that appears when two people get on really well, and is a combination of the two person's existing romantic soulmark. How come Tsukishima didn't get one with Yamaguchi when Oikawa did?
Oikawa whispered something in Yamaguchi's ears and he flamed before looking over to Tsukishima.
"Guess what? Me and Kuroo have one too!"
Nearby, Akaashi groaned. And... Bokuto took off his shirt. Near his heart, there was a crown entangled in a gaming controller's chord. Ew.
"It's near my heart, because Kou is always in my heart."
"Broooooo"
"Broooooo"
What the fuck.
Tsukishima walked over to see Yamaguchi's forearm. A bug catching net which seemed to be catching the constellation Scorpio.
Tsukishima's brows furrowed together. It couldn't be...
"Yamaguchi, let's talk." Tsukishima grabbed Yamaguchi's arm and led him out.
"Yahoo, Let's continue practise, everyone," he heard Oikawa say as they left.
Ah, a secluded corridor.
"Your soulmark is Scorpio, can I see it?"
"Tsukki, I'm sorry." Yamaguchi used some special kind of tissue and wiped the side of his forehead. A Scorpio constellation.
"I'm glad." Tsukishima lowered his head and rested it on Yamaguchi's shoulder. Tsukishima was so relieved, so so relieved. Yamaguchi felt his shoulder get wet.
"I'm sorry, Kei." Tsukishima shook his head. He finally raised it and looked Yamaguchi, eye to eye.
"After days, months and years of pining, I'm glad. I was so scar-"
"It's OK, i get it Kei." Hah. Yamaguchi could always tell what Tsukishima was thinking.
"Why... Why did you hide it?" Yamaguchi's eyes widened and his lips trembled.
"You know how I was bullied for my freckles? I was also bullied for this. So I started using concealer from a young age, for both my freckles and my soulmark. I'm not ashamed of them but-"
"You can't bring yourself to love it? Is that it?" Yamaguchi slowly nodded.
"It's okay, I will shower your freckles and soulmark with enough love for the both of us." Tsukishima placed a kiss on Yamaguchi's soulmark.
