Chapter Text
The day had arrived, the first day of college for the old libero and wing spiker duo. The two boys chose to follow in the footsteps of their three-third-year peers and ended up at the same community university.
Tanaka and Nishinoya, annoying as ever, chose the ripe time of 6 am to prepare a feast for their old team captain and his roommate apartment. Daichi and Sugawara lived in the dorms together their first year and decided to buy a TWO room apartment for their second. The two have been best friends since their first year of volleyball in highschool all the way to their second year on an intramural team in University.
Tanaka and Noya thought the prank to break into the new apartment and cook an extravagant breakfast for the two roommates. The two boys cackled at the thought of their friends walking out of their TWO separate rooms. Daichi and Suga would spawn from their respective living quarters, well because they were just friends, of course. Nobody thought anything strange of the boys closeness, and nobody was ever going to find out just how far their ‘friendship’ went.
*Tanaka and Nishinoya stood in the kitchen playing a game of twister between the cabinets of their upper classmens dorm, unsure how the had successfully survived thus far into breaking into a future police officers home was victory enough but they had to be quiet if they wanted to achieve their goal of a somewhat edible breakfast for their number 1 and 2*
“Tanaka shut the hell up, you’ll wake up mom and dad with those loud pots”, Noya scolded his wing spiker.
Tanaka retaliated with an angry, “Well maybe if you held your flashlight straight i could find this pot”
“Well maybe if you weren’t in my way i could hold it straight-“ Noya was stopped in his lecture.
They hear rustling from daichi’s room, a deranged man resembling their old team captain appears in the doorway, holding a signed volleyball (he remembered kageyama signing that ball their 2nd year so he could have it when he became famous) flipping on the light he looks at the boys half angry they awoke him and half expectant for an explanation.
Tanaka giggled an attempted rebuttal, “Woe buddy, fancy weapon you got there but we were just trying to surprise our favorite fellow college students with breakfast, no need for the hostility”
Despite the realization of whom had broken into their dorm, he nevertheless threw the ball and missed tanaka, slapping noya dead in the face.
Noya yelled back, “HEY i know the bleach in my hair is kinda brassy but i didn’t think i looked that much like Shoyou”
Daichi apologetically stated, “Sorry Noya but why are you guys ransacking my kitchen”
Tanaka quickly announced, “Well since sleeping beauty himself is finally awake! Care to get sugawara up from his peaceful slumber as well”
The older of the three gave in, “sure whatever the thieves want”
”SUGAAA” daichi yelled. Which would’ve scared the two first years in college if they hadn’t already seen him in a practice match against kuroo, nothing was scarier than that.
The grey haired boy emerged from behind Daichi with a blanket draped over his bare shoulders. Countering the opposing door from which he was expected to surface from yet the boys didn’t think much of it, except that wasn’t true.
Daichi could see the gears turning in Nishinoya’s head, the one time he wish they wouldn’t and oh how Daichi wished he could be just as oblivious as the bald boy that he stood next to.
He regretted his idiotic decision to call the older boy out from his room.
Noya frantically started pointing and gasping* Flabbergasted, Noya-san pushed out a poetic, “You- yo.. wah- for how long.. I..”*after a long pause he decidedly stated, “Tanaka we gotta go”
He started up, gathering his things making sure to clean up his mess while pulling tanaka out of the kitchen into the hall.
On their way out Daichi yells, “be safe boys, come back whenever”
Sugawara stood questioning the loud awakening to his morning, “what was that about?”
Daichi responded with a stern but still loving tone, “You scared the boys coming out of my room, now go put on some clothes so we can apologize”
They giggled as the crawled their tired bodies back into their bedrooms to get ready for their study day.
~in the hallway with first years~
Tanaka’s face truely showed it all, “i’m still confused but you don’t look like you want to talk about it”
Noya in his stunned state said, “no i don’t NOT”
Without much convincing the taller one agreed, “i don’t think we saw the same thing in there, but do you want me to walk you to Asahi’s place do you can do your little couples debriefing thing?”
A light blush appeared on noya’s face that tanaka wouldn’t understand for a long while more, darn his obliviousness.
In his state he pushed out a unassured, “sure but stop calling it that, we are just two guys who talk ok!”
The nuh uh and yuh huh battle continued as he walk the smaller boy off through the halls.
