Work Text:
Kenma was once again spending a night in his room gaming, avoiding everyone around him and his school work. He's a third year in college, and is barely passing any of his classes these days, only spending his time with his boyfriends and streaming. Tonight however, he decided not the stream and play games with a couple of his online friends due to him not "feeling well". He actually went to school yesterday, and had probably the worse day imaginable.
It all started when Kenma woke up that morning, after only three hours of sleep due to his late night gaming, he decided to go to class that day, being that it was the day where he had the least amount of classes to attend. He planned on going and staying and his boyfriend's place that night and celebrating his, Bokuto, Kuroo, and Akaashi's 2 year anniversary, so he figured that going to school today and actually socializing with real people would be a nice transition back to the real world. He hadn't seen any of his boyfriends in weeks, Bokuto had MSBY training from dusk until dawn, while Kuroo was working his office job 6 days a week to help stabilize an income, and Akaashi has been out on a business trip for the last month and is just now coming back today. However, Kenma had told his boyfriend's that he had been sick for the past two weeks, simply being he was too depressed to get out of his bed and socialize with people. Today however, he thought of making the leap to go to school to graduate, considering he has not gone all week.
At school this particular day, Kenma got thrown against a locker, dropped all of his papers in front of his whole class, and severely messed up his project slides for his computer science class. Technically, he had 5 classes that day, but after what had happened just in the first two, he decided to call it quits and head home to his 2 bedroom apartment.
As soon as he got home, the whole days events flooded in Kenma's mind. He embarrassed himself in front of all of his senpai's, totally messed up his project with his group that was 30% of his grade, and realized that he was never, ever going to be good enough for his boyfriends. His breaths started to become shallow and shaky, and Kenma knew what was about to happen. He hated having to contact his boyfriends over his little problems such as this, but Kenma didn't know what he would do if he didn't contact them.

"Kitten, are you alright, where are you?"
"Tetsuro, I-I can't-"
"Shh Kitten, it's alright. Are you home right now?"
"I-I a-am"
"Ok Kitten, I'm on my way from the office, so give me about 20 mins and I'll be right there"
"T-Tetsu"
"It's alright, I'll stay on the call until I get there, do you want me to add bo or kashi to the call, they could get there quicker then me."
"N-No, I don't wa-want to wor-worry them"
"Kitten, you are worrying me more if you don't want to talk to them then if you do, did something happen with the others?"
"W-Well, I h-haven't sp-spoken t-to them i-in about t-two weeks n-now"
"Shh Kitten, can you tell me why you haven't talked to us these past few weeks? Is it something we did?"
At this point, Kenma's breathing became worse, huffing and puffing as though he was having a heart attack, but that's basically how he felt anyways. His breathing became more and more shallow with every breath, and every breath burned Kenma's lungs that much more. He couldn't form the most basic of sentences at this point because of his breathing patterns, which weren't consist in the slightest. Kuroo could tell that Kenma's breathing changed, so he simply stayed on the line, whispering sweet nothings and reassuring him that he would be ok soon.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Kuroo arrived at Kenma's apartment about 15 minutes later, though he did have to break some traffic laws to make it there as quickly as he did. Since Kuroo had a key to Kenma's Apartment, (all 3 of Kenma's Boyfriends have one) he decided to just unlock Kenma's front door himself
(Still on the phone)
"Kitten, where are you now?"
"In m-my b-bedroom"
"Alright, I'm gonna hang up now, I'll be there in 10 seconds"
"A-Alright"
As Kuroo briskly took his shoes off at the door, he ran up to Kenma's room, only to see him curled up in a ball with his head in his lap, a shaking mess.
"Kitten"
"Tetsu"
Kuroo sat down on the floor right next to Kenma. His eyes were bloodshot, his arms were clearly scratched raw, and he looked liked a lost little kitten, afraid of the world. Kuroo was pretty damn useless when it came to Kenma's panic attacks. Sure, Kuroo has had his handful of them as well, but they never turned out like 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬. Kenma's always ended up being more destructive the Kuroo's, so trying to help knock the world back in Kenma's head was something that only Akaashi could do.
"Kitten, I know that you're still not fully alright, but can I call Bo and Akaashi to come as well? I know it might make you more nervous, but I really don't know how to help you in this situation."
Kenma nods toward Kuroo, and Kuroo quickly calls up Bo and Kashi while Kenma began to lay on Kuroo's lap, his face buried in his chest.
"Bo, Kashi, come to Kenma's Apartment stat"
"Alright Kuroo, we are on our way, we'll be there in about five minutes"
"Ok, we love you guys"
"We love you as well- BYE TETSY-KUN"
"Sorry Kuroo, Bo stole the phone again, we'll see you soon"
"Kenma, Kashi and Bo said that they would be here in about five minutes, just try and breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth for me, ok?"
Kenma nodded again, since he was still violently shaking in Kuroo's lap. Kuroo felt awful that he couldn't help Kenma when he needed him, but at least he knew that help would be coming shortly.
---------------------------------------
Bokuto and Akaashi arrived at Kenma's apartment shortly after the call ended. The boys unlocked the door with their key to Kenma's place and quickly took their shoes off at the door. The boys sprinted up to Kenmas room, only to find a worried and confused Kuroo, and a Kenma who looked so scared, almost like a child hiding from a thunderstorm. Akaashi quickly ran over to Kuroo and picked up the distressed Kenma, cooing and rocking him like a little baby. Bokuto was still standing in the doorway, hand over his mouth, trying not to scream at the little ball of what seems to be Kenma. Bokuto hates seeing his boyfriends in pain or distressed, and seeing Kenma in this state is slowly killing the MSBY star.
After a couple more minutes, Bokuto finally walked through Kenma's bedroom door, Akaashi finally calmed down Kenma enough to the point where he fell asleep in his arms. Kuroo moved onto Kenma's bed to sit while Akashi was still swaying the sleeping Kenma back in forth, Bo finally sat down on Kenma's bed as well, which seemed to calm down the both worried and frantic Kou.
"Hey Bo, I know that Kenma likes sleeping on you the best, so do you mind if I put Kenma onto your lap?" Akaashi asked
"Alrighty" The worried Bokuto said.
Keiji walked over to Bokuto and slowly lowered the sleeping Kenma onto his lap, making sure to not drop nor wake the sleeping gamer. Bo cradled the sleeping Kenma onto his shoulder, throwing a blanket over the two of them to keep Kenma warm, considering how quickly he gets cold. Akaashi then sat on the bed, joining the rest of his boyfriends. They sat in silence for about 40 minutes, until Kuroo finally spoke up.
Kuroo (T): "I'm sorry guys, I really didn't know what to do by myself"
Akaashi (A): "It's alright Kuroo, that's what we are here for in the first place. We would have come as soon as the original text came into the group chat, but we thought that Kenma was mad at us for some reason, so we didn't want to upset him or anything."
Bokuto (B): "I'm sorry, I kinda just stood there and did nothing. I got too damn mad at whoever must have hurt Kenma to put him into this state to try and calm him down. I know I should have put my own feelings aside to try and help Kenma, but I can't keep calm when something or someone hurt my-our Kenma."
T: "I know how to feel Kou, but look at him now, whatever happened knocked him out. If his panic attack was less severe than what it was, I could probably help him on my own, but I just was really damn useless"
B: "You weren't useless Tetsu, you did well"
A: "Agreed, its scary to deal with this stuff all alone, but I'm-We are happy that you called."
As soon as Akaashi finished his sentence, Kenma woke up from sleeping on Bo, and you could tell how confused he looked when he opened his eyes and saw all of his boyfriends just sitting on his bed. The last thing Kenma remembered before blacking out (in his memory, at least) was laying on the floor, dreading having to socalize with people after the awful day he had, nothing else had happened, right?
Kenma (K): "I- When did you guys get here"
T: "Well, good morning your majesty"
K: "Really Kuroo, seriously how-why are you guys all here?"
A: "Kenma, you really don't remember what happened"
K: "No, did I pass out from exhaustion or something?"
B: "WHO THE HELL HURT YOU KENMA?"
Never, I mean never has Bokuto ever screamed the way he did, I mean he rarely screams or yells to begin with, but this scream was one that anyone could tell was clearly showing how hurt he was about Kenma. Kenma tilted his head in both confusion and shock as he looked into Kou's eyes, trying to figure out what happened to make his lover so upset.
K: "Um Kou, are you alright?"
B: "NO KEN, I'M NOT. ME AND KEJI CAME OVER HERE TO YOU HAVING A PANIC ATTACK AND WE DON'T KNOW WHY, SO PLEASE, PLEASE TELL ME WHO THE FUCK HURT YOU KENMA AND I'LL GO AND KILL THEM MYSE-"
A: "Calm down Bo, you'll make Kenma go into another panic attack if you keep this up"
B: "Sorry Kashi, sorry Tetsu"
K: "I'm sorry you guys, but I don't remember any of this"
T: "Ok Kitten, why don't you tell us why you had a panic attack in the first place."
K: "Um-um, well it had to deal with school today, it was really awful and stuff."
A: "Ok Ken, why don't you tell us from the beginning what happened"
So Kenma did just that, he told his boyfriends what went down at school that day. The whole time, they all looked attentive and ready to pounce at any moment, Bo especially. Bokuto finally started to calm down as Kenma continued his story.
A: "Oh Ken-ken, I'm so sorry you had to endure that all today"
T: "Instead of going out tonight, why don't we just go back to our place and have a night in, how does that sound kitten?"
K: "A-alright. Tetsu, Kashi, Kou, thank you"
B: "We'll always be here for you Ken, through thick and thin."
And so, the for boyfriends headed to Kuroo, Bokuto, and Akaashi's place, where they spend the night watching movies, cuddling, making out, and sex of course, and they spent the night sleeping the huge custom bed in the main sleeping area, feeling each others warmth and comfort as they slowly begin to drift off to sleep.
