Chapter Text
"I'm back, bitches!" Terushima exclaimed as he burst into Daishou's house on the edge of town. Daishou and Kyoutani, who had been sitting on the couch, looked up and blinked at him. "Did you miss me?"
"You went to Yaku's shop across town to try to convince him to fix Kyou's shoes," Daishou reminded him. "You were gone for twenty minutes." Terushima sighed and tutted disapprovingly as he walked around the couch and flopped down across Daishou's and Kyoutani's laps.
"And you just called us bitches. So no, we didn't miss you," Kyoutani added, trying to push Terushima off his lap.
"Aw, but Kyou, I got Yaku to agree to fix your shoes. He said they'd be ready in the morning, since he knows you're probably not going to be leaving the house until then anyway," Terushima told him.
"He doesn't know that," Kyoutani grumbled.
"Actually, I'm pretty sure the whole town knows that," Daishou replied, reaching over to ruffled Kyoutani's hair affectionately. "And they're right. The full moon was last week, and Teru was out gathering those horrible little round doll things-"
"Takeda found a book on them and sent me to collect them, and they're wards to repel nightmares," Terushima informed him with a huff. Daishou rolled his eyes and poked Terushima's side.
"I'm pretty sure those things are more likely to cause nightmares than repel them. But the point is, I've hardly seen either of you lately, and now I've got you to myself, so neither of you is going anywhere for a while," he announced. Terushima sat up and kissed Daishou's cheek.
"Aw, you did miss me," he cooed.
"I didn't say that," Daishou replied. "Besides, I kept myself amused. I compelled Kuroo to act like a chicken all day. He made it through town and back before anyone managed to catch him and snap him out of it." Terushima snickered and threw his arms around Daishou's neck, then rested his forehead on Daishou's.
"You always do the best things when I'm away," Terushima complained.
"I heard that he clucked when he walked past Kenma's potion shop," Kyoutani commented, scooting over on the couch to lean against Daishou's side. Daishou grinned and shifted so he had one arm around Terushima's waist and the other draped over Kyoutani's shoulders, pulling them both closer.
"He not only clucked, he actually crowed when Kenma came out to ask him what was wrong," Daishou replied smugly. "Kenma realized immediately what happened and just went back into his shop." Kyoutani grinned and rested his head on Daishou's shoulder. "I'd be happy to repeat the experiment if you two want to see it in person. But for now, I want to hear how searching for your creepy nightmare-repelling dolls went, Teru."
"Well, to start with, I had to fight a chimera for one of them," Terushima said casually. Daishou and Kyoutani froze.
"You what?" Kyoutani hissed.
"It's okay. I stumbled across this really awesome bow that shoots magica fire arrows, so the chimera was easy," Terushima assured them. "And I came back without a scratch, so hey, that's a bonus." Daishou and Kyoutani frowned at him, and Terushima kissed each of them on the forehead. "Seriously, it was no big deal."
"Teru, you're human," Kyoutani reminded him. "You don't have any magic to protect yourself. You should be more careful."
"Magic fire-shooting bow, remember?" Terushima replied. "I'm fine."
"Did you actually keep the magical weapon that let you defend yourself this time, or did you sell it like the last four?" Daishou sighed.
"I didn't sell it," Terushima answered. "I traded it for the last of the set of nightmare-repelling dolls. They only work as a set, and Hinata's sister has been having a lot of nightmares, so I had to be sure to get all of them."
"You traded it for a creepy doll that you're going to give to a kid who's already having nightmares," Daishou repeated.
"Hey, the kid thinks they're cute," Terushima said with a pout.
"Not worth fighting a chimera for," Kyoutani grumbled. "Not without one of us there to protect you, anyway."
"You guys worry too much," Terushima told them.
"We just don't want to lose you," Daishou replied, sliding his hand from Terushima's waist up to his jaw, gently tugging him closer for a kiss.
"Don't want to see you hurt," Kyoutani added, leaning in to steal a kiss of his own from Terushima when Daishou pulled back.
"I can take care of myself," Terushima complained.
"We know. Doesn't stop us from worrying, just like you and Kyou worry about me when I do negotiations for strangers, and you and I worry about Kyou when he's deep in the woods during the full moon," Daishou answered. "Although it would give us some peace of mind if you would keep one of the enchanted weapons you keep stumbling across instead of selling, trading, or giving them away." Terushima shrugged.
"The weapons I find are nice, but none of them are really my style," he admitted. "If I find one that really fits, I'll keep it."
"I guess that's something, at least," Daishou sighed.
"Just keep coming back," Kyoutani murmured, pressing closer to them. Terushima smiled and snuggled closer.
"As if I could stay away from you two for very long," he replied, tucking his head under Daishou's chin as Kyoutani somehow managed to get closer, half leaning on Daishou's shoulder and half leaning against Terushima, who started running his fingers through Kyoutani's short blond hair. Kyoutani made a soft, pleased sound, and Terushima chuckled. "You're such a puppy sometimes, Kyou," he commented.
"You practically melt when one of us messes with your hair, so you have no room to talk," Daishou informed him.
"How about a little less talking period?" Kyoutani grumbled. "Haven't been able to sleep cause I was away from you two."
"That's adorable," Terushima informed him. Kyoutani growled and pulled away from them in mock offense. "Aw, don't run away!" Terushima crawled off of Daishou's lap, and Kyoutani scrambled back and nearly fell off the couch. Diashou laughed and watched as Terushima flung himself onto Kyoutani, yelling, "Let me love you!"
"You two are ridiculous," Daishou informed them. Terushima grinned unrepentantly.
"You love us though," Kyoutani pointed out. Daishou smiled softly.
"Yeah, I do," he agreed.
