cat kid's kenma, and yes. he saves us all. he's our vip.
[ LET HIM WAX POETIC ABOUT HIS BFF SOMETIME it'll take all night all morning all day, kenma one-man cheering squad right here. ]
shorty mandarin freaks me out with his spikes, kid ain't real.
glasses is a salt bucket too.
and right who's that handsome bedhaired guy, look at him go (=owo=)
nekoma's gonna go to the nationals this year, we're gonna freaking win.

whoah, that's not what i meant at all. believe me, i get it.
extra weight and height fucks up your balance. your timing. even the way you move has to change with the excess. honestly, i really do get it. it's happening with one of my players too.
[ lev is a different case, certainly, but it's the same set of problems: the length, the speed, the weight, all of these things rapidly changing at a rate that his training can't keep up with. the "future ace" already edged up a quarter of an inch in two weeks; his body's not done wrecking havoc on him yet.
kuroo can guess how much worse it'll be for someone in yuri's place. ]
there's no easy way out of it.

i figured he would be, given what little of it he still has. how OLD is he? why are you hanging out with grandpas???
[ Kuroo can see the appeal in the fluidity of this Viktor's movements, and there's a certain type of grace in his appearance that looks natural, but Kuroo also spends days exposed to Bokuto's and Akaashi's combined presence - he's immune to the gracefully forceful look by now. ]

Hey, now you're just being mean.
[ He almost - almost - goes through with it anyway, but there's pain for the sake of pleasure and then there's getting kicked in the nuts for being stupid. Kuroo likes to think he's not that dumb.
Which is why he's grunting and throwing his back out trying to lift Bokuto up. Dude's built as fuck and Kuroo's slightly regretting being a supportive friend right now. ]
This freakin' hooty tooty dumbass, he got heavier. Oy, Tsukki, help me out a bit! Seriously!

[ Kuroo waits for the barrage of pictures to stop, fully aware that these pictures are a risk for both of them - Oikawa may be garbage (though Kuroo will keep his thoughts to himself on that, no matter how much he agrees with Iwaizumi's assessment), but he's also a genuinely good person inside.
Very very very deep inside. Buried under a mountain of crap. Somewhere there.
The photos with his nephew though — Kuroo's relationship with his own family mirrors his relationship with Kenma a bit, where they're pretty much left to do whatever they want. He's about as close to his parents as any regular teenager, sure, but Tokyo runs on a different timetable by virtue of being Tokyo. The volleyball club as good as family; he sees more of him than he does of his own parents, these days.
Oikawa looks genuinely happy. (It's a little bittersweet to look at.) ]
well, not everyone's into unsolicited advice. i had to tack on the disclaimer. and you're decent people, oikawa. a hell of a handful when you're missing your shampoo, but you're not terrible.
we should have more talks like this. they make you sound less like those aliens you really love.

[Tsukishima watches from safe distance Kuroo's attempts to lift Bokuto up. It's both funny and sad at the same time. Bokuto is a dead weight. Finally taking mercy at Kuroo, he pulls out a cellphone from his pocket.]
Wait, you'll break your back. I'm calling a taxi.
[They can't carry both Akaashi and Bokuto.
When he hangs up, he leaves Akaashi on the chair and goes to help Kuroo lift Bokuto up.]
I'm putting the transportation fees on their account.

—Oh, good idea. Put it on Akaashi's. He'll get mad in the morning but he'll get Bokuto to pay him back. Bo-chan doesn't wanna die by setter fury. Neither do I...
[ Still, though - he's only half-carrying and half-dragging Bokuto as it is. All those eggs they are over the years finally make sense for one of them. Kuroo taps Tsukki on the cheek when the Karasuno blocker comes over to help, too. ]
Took you long enough. You have no pity on your senpais.

[The pats on his cheek aren't appreciated-]
I can still ditch you Kuroo-san.
[But he won't. Not after actually coming all this way to help him out. But he can still threaten him. Bokuto is heavy like a stone.]
If it weren't for a fact that Bokuto-san and Akaashi-san would end up owing me a favor, I wouldn't come.
[Again, he would. But- he's Tsukishima. He always needs a reason to do stuff.]
