October 17th
“Oh my god,”
Kenma looked up from where they were typing on their macbook at their best friend, Shoyo Hinata, a simple ‘what the hell are you talking about’ in their eyes.
“Kageyama Tobio just publicly came out.”
Kenma’s cat eyes widened. “Who?”
“You know, the fashion and lifestyle youtuber?”
“Oh, the one you have a crush on.”
“I do not have a crush on him.”
Kenma rolled their eyes. “Sure, Shoyo.”

Tobio--
Thank you! I’ll give you our instagram handles instead, we’re more active on there, the @’s are the same as our youtube channel names. Maybe we can plan to meet at some point too?
Oh and I have a new video up, it’s me and Shoyo playing this new horror game. You might like it.

October 23rd
“Tooru, I’m not letting you do my makeup again after what happened last time.”
“Please,” Oikawa whined. “Tobio, you’re my best friend, I’d do anything for you.”
Tobio rolled his eyes. “I can’t stand you.”
Oikawa cackled at the insult, knowing that he didn’t mean it. Making fun of each other was just the way that they showed affection. He turned to face Tobio, looking up from the eyeshadow palette he was holding and making puppy eyes at him.
Tobio rolled his eyes.
“Fine, I’ll let you. But you’re not allowed to film it or post it, and if I see a single picture of it on instagram you're dead. ”
Oikawa made a noise of excitement and light shoved Tobio into the chair he had people sit in while he did their makeup and started attacking him with an eyeliner pencil.
He was probably going to regret this, but Tobio let Oikawa have his fun.
After all, what were best friends for?

sunsho im not telling him
kodzuken you’ll regret it later
kodzuken trust me it happened w me and kuro
sunsho but that’s different you were friends before
kodzuken i guess,,
kodzuken i still think u should tell him
After a week of waiting, the day of the collab finally comes around.
Hinata arrives first to help with the setup; they make sure the cameras are set up and that all of the computers are logged in already.
Kenmas already logged in, and is setting up the world, stocking chests with essential items for each player. They turn the difficulty up to hard and change the mode to survival.
The door rings, and Kuroo, Kenma’s boyfriend, yells “Can I let them in?” from near the front door.
“Yeah,” shouts Kenma, and then there’s the sound of the door opening, and then two people waiting upstairs.
“Hey,” says Kageyama shyly, lifting a hand in greeting. Oikawa waves from where he’s standing next to him, makeup done immaculately, and dressed in an oversized Star Wars t-shirt and skinny jeans. .
“Just warning you, I’ve never actually played minecraft before,” Oikawa says sheepishly. “So I have no idea how this works.”
“It’s okay,” Kenma replies. “I’ll give you instructions.”
“Doesn’t your boyfriend run a gaming channel?” Hinata asks.
Oikawa laughs. “He does, and he hates me for it. The only video game I’m actually good at is mario kart, and he can never beat me.” Something in his eyes grows softer at the mention of his boyfriend, and suddenly, he doesn’t seem as intimidating.
“Ooh, who do you main?” Kenma asks.
“Rosalina,” he responds.
Kenma smiles. “Nice, I usually play as dry bones.”
The four of them settle into their chairs and Kenma explains how to work the controls for Oikawa.
After only about half an hour of gaming, Kenma’s managed to get command blocks out of seemingly thin air, and is helping Hinata build a mansion, Tobio is mining for diamonds, and Oikawa is completely lost.
“This thing looks cool,” says Oikawa, walking into a nether portal. “Oh shit, where am I? Am I in hell? Is this what I get for being gay?”
Hinata chokes out a laugh from where he’s sitting next to him.
Oikawa screeches when he sees a pigman and Kenma laughs at him.
“Click on them, Tooru,” they say.
Oikawa does, and then starts screaming when the pigman and all of the ones near it start running after them.
“What the fuck Kenma?!”
He makes it through the portal just in time, but then his mouse glitches and he falls off of the mountain the portal is on top of, dying for what must be the fiftieth time since they started playing.
Kenma can’t stop giggling, and Shoyo thinks they’re going to get a million comments about how cute their laugh is once the video is up.
Tobio comes back from his mining trip and deposits his findings into his chest in the house that he and Shoyo share in the game.
Kenma walks into their house uninvited, having easily gotten through Tobio’s trap system.
They laugh again. “I can’t believe you put your beds together, that’s kind of gay.”
Everyone else laughs with them, and Tobio’s face goes bright red. He throws a pen at Kenma lightheartedly, but Kenma dodges it and throws it right back at them, hitting him square in the face.
Tooru high fives Kenma over his computer and Tobio can’t help but feel that this is the most fun he’s had in a long time.
