Page 13 "'tSuM-chAN'" (Shooping prologue)

(Kuroo POV)

Practice had just ended, and we had begun cleaning up.

"So, didn't dress up all fancy today?" I ask Remi

"Yeah, it's a bit colder today so I kinda had to" He shrugged

Xie was wearing a white sweatshirt and half of the sleeves were black, it also had small paw straps on the sleeves. (yk one of those bear sweatshirts but w/o the bear bag) and was wearing slightly baggy black jeans with some rips in it. They also had on white Sketchers and a black beanie.

(Yaku POV)

After we finish cleaning up, I see Kuroo walk over to Kai and Fukunaga -- who were conveniently together -- while Korral follows. I'm assuming it's to convince them to go to the mall.

It was very comical to watch, but unfortunately I couldn't hear.

I see Fukunaga and Kai look at each other, then at me. They then shake their heads. Korral falls to the ground in defeat. Kuroo rages, and tries to convince them, but soon joins Korral.

I begin walking over to them to say something, but when I reach them, Korral pops xier head up.

"Please Mr. Freeze" Korral begs

And with that, Fukunaga gave in

"Fine, I'll go" He finally agrees

"YAYYYY THANK YOU SO MUUCHHH!!" Korral jumps up and celebrates

"Sit back down, we still have Kai.." Kuroo sulks

"Oh yeah..." Korral then begins sulking

"I guess I don't mind going, if it would make you guys happy" Kai says

"Really?" Korral asks

"Yeah, sure" Kai shrugs

"YAY!" Kuroo and Korral celebrate

Kai smiles at the two

"I- I'm gonna cry your smile is too pure" Korral says, on the verge of actual tears

"Oh, um, please don't cry" Kai says

"Okay, I'm sorry" Korral says, but then begins crying

"Wait, Remi I thought that was a joke!?" Kuroo exclaims

Korral turns to Kuroo "I'm sorry, I got like, no sleep last night, and I normally don't wake up this earlyy"

"Why in the world were you up so late last night??" I ask Korral and cross my arms

"I'm sorry mo- Yaku-Senpai, *sniffle* Mr. Demon sir, *sniffle* I was having fun dressing up and I lost track of time.. *sniffle sniffle* but I only stayed up till like- 2? *sniffle* Or maybe it was 3.. or was it 1.? Frick I don't remember-" Korral replies, wiping xier tears

"I am so disappointed in you Korral" I shake my head

They begin tearing up again

"I'M SORRY YAKU-SENPAI" Korral falls to his knees

Oops.. I didn't think they would be so dramatic...

"There's no need to apologize Korral, it's fine I guess. Just go to sleep early tonight, alright?" I sigh

"O..kay..." Korral sniffles

"YEET!" Lev yells as he springs onto Korral's shoulders and pushes himself up a bit. Which resulted in Korral stumbling forward, somehow not completely falling over though.

"aCK! Lev! Watch it!" Korral shouts

"Sorry so-- oh my god, are you crying??" Lev panicks "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to, please don't cry"

"No no no, it's fine, don't worry. I was crying because I was tired, and because Kai-senpai's smile was too pure." Korral comforted Lev

That should be me comforting Lev... -- I mean what!? -- uh- Lev's an idiot! Yeah!

"Oh, nevermind then" Lev shrugged

"Your attitude sure did change pretty quick" Korral said

"Well I mean, I wasn't the one who made you cry"

"Eh, true, I really got nothing, just sayin' I guess" Korral shrugs

"Oh.. well.. anyway -- MALL MALL MALL MA-" Lev begins chanting, but I cut him off

"SHUT THE HELL UP SKYSCRAPER" I kick Lev

"ACK!" Lev shouts

(Remi POV)

Please -- I'm legit gonna cry again, they're so cute. How is that cute me? HOW?! Yaku just frickin' KICKED Lev. HOW. IS. THAT. CUTE?!? Sometimes I really don't understand myself.

"Okay! Listen up buttercups, we're meeting Bokutō, and probably others, in -- 1 hour! Hurry up! Chop chop! Let's go home and get changed! Go go go!" Kuroo claps at the end

~Timeskip to the mall even tho I just had a (completely useless) pov change~

(Akaashi POV)

Earlier today, my love, Bokutō-san, had invited me to go to the mall with him. I was already convinced the second he asked me, so, here I am now, walking with Bokutō-san to the mall.

Oh, yeah, and I was walking with Washio-Senpai and Komi-san.

Why do they all have to be third years..? And why does Komi have to be so much like Bokutō.. -- besides the attractiveness of course -- I'm going to die at this rate. Washio-Senpai is great though, the silent type, the best kind of person.

"So hey guys uh-" Bokutō says awkwarly "I should probably mention that I got a girlfriend-"

At that moment, my whole life shattered.

What? A girlfriend? Nonono.. this can't be happening. This year was my last chance... No! It's okay, the year has basically just begun, I'm alright, I still have time... right..? No.. that's it, I missed my chance. We're never going to happen.

"You got a girlfriend?! No way dude!" Komi-san exclaims

"Yup.! Heh.. heh..." Bokutō-san rubs the back of his neck "and she's kiiiinda also gonna be at the mall"

Good, then I'll be able to punch her -- ah, wait, I can't do that. If I did that Bokutō-san would hate me. Tsk, the struggles I swear.

"Damnnn dude! Lucky! What's her name? She pretty? She nice to you?" Komi investigates

"Yeah.. lucky me..!" Bokutō chuckles "Oh, and it's Tsumi, y'know? She is really sweet, and pretty too..!"

Tsumi? Are you fucking kidding me? The bitch who talked shit about some of the team and some of the others who hang out with Bokutō-san? You're fucking joking, right? I roll my eyes

I should probably tell Bokutō-san about that. Ah.. but then he might think that I'm jealous and I'm just trying to break them up. Crap, I should've told him the second I saw him.

"BRUHHH, NAH, IT'S NOOOTTTT" I hear Korral complain

I turn around to see the Nekoma squad has arrived at the entrance of the mall. (Don't you dare question how they all arrived at the same time)

"Ah! Brokutō! Lemme ask your opinion" Pain-in-the-ass-Kuroo-san says

"Oh, sup Kubro! Whatcha need?" Bokutō-san asks

"Okay, okay, do you think that it's weird that Remi has adopted -- how many people?" Kuroo questions

"About.. 24 or 25? I kinda lost track.." Korral shrugs

Say what now?

"Yeah, that"

"Nah, I don't find that weird" Bokutō shrugs

He's really just going along with this??

"See? Normal." Korral replies

That is nowhere near normal

"That isn't!" Kuroo exclaims "and why?!"

"Becauseeeee, they're just either smol or adorable in every waaayyyyyy." Korral whines "Oh, but most of them are fictional."

"..So then how many real people have you adopted?" Kuroo inquires

"Nine, but it's aboutta be ten" Korral smirks then turns to Bokutō-san

"Oh my god.. you're really gonna..." Kuroo mumbles

Korral clears zir throat

"Will you, Bokutō Kōtarō, let me, Korral Remi, adopt you?" Korral asks, then whispers "I'm just saying, but you don't really have a choice, so just say yes."

"Yeah, sure" Bokutō smiles

"YEAAAAHHH" Korral celebrates "I did it, I did it, I did it, oh yeah!"

"You're such a kid" Kuroo sighs

"Actually no, I'm a p a r e n t" Korral smirks

"Bo, why?" Kuroo asks Bokutō-san as Korral continues to celebrate

"'Cause now, I have not three, but FOUR PARENTS!" Bokutō exclaims

..What?

"Four?? Who's the third?" Kuroo inquires

"Ahgaashi of course!" Bokutō beams "He's like another mother!"

Wow, and I thought I was only in the friendzone, turns out I'm in the familyzone. Fun.

"Oh. Okay, that makes a lot of sense. I mean, Yakkun is basically our mother" Kuroo replies

Yaku-Senpai then whips his head around towards Pain-in-the-ass-Kuroo-san. He stares at him for awhile, gives a face that's like: "No, no, he has a point". Then he turns around and continues scolding Lev.

So he agrees with Kuroo.

"Right, so, everyone's here?" Kuroo asks, yelling slightly to get everyone's attention

The Nekoma squad agrees, but then Bokutō-san says

"Oh, actually, there's three more people..."

"Huh? Oh okay, who are they?" Kuroo questions

"Uhhh, remember Tsum-chan?" Bokutō replies

"Ohh! Okay! She's coming? That's awesome!" Kuroo beams

If only you heard what she said about you.

"Ah, I'm glad you're okay with her coming. Oh, but I should also mention, we're kinda.. maybe... uhm.. dating." Bokutō says nervously

"Dating? OMG MY BRO HAS A GIRLFRIEND?! FUCK YEAH!" Kuroo celebrates

Fuck no. This sucks.

~Timeskip to about 5 minutes later, so I don't get sidetracked again~

(Kenma POV)

Blah blah blah. Everyone keeps talking and talking.

"OH! THERE SHE IS!" Someone exclaims. I'm too tired to figure out who.

I lift my head up from my DS to check who they were talking about.

Hold the fucking phone. Is that Tsumi and some of her giRlFRiEnDs? Ugh, they better not be the ones we're waiting on.

But to my demise, they wave and head towards us.

Ugh, fml.

(Remi POV)

The three strangers who waved at us had finally reached the entrance to the mall.

"Hey Tsum-chan" Bokutō greeted, then hugged 'Tsum-chan'

The middle one -- 'Tsum-chan' -- had wavy, short, peach pink hair, and brown eyes. They were wearing a white tank top, a coral pink button-up sweater that was off of their shoulders, and was tucked into a pleated white skirt. They also had a bubblegum pink flower clip in their hair, some fancy pink mini handbag, white leg warmers that went up to their knees, and pink high heel boots.

"Sup" The one on the left greeted them

"Hey Akari-san" Bokutō waves, releasing Tsum-chan from the hug

'Akari-san' had wavy, long, red hair that was half up in a low ponytail and half down, and had bangs(?) that were divided into three sections -- one being in the middle of their face, and the other two sections on the sides of their face (like Kageyama's bangs)-- and hazel eyes. They were wearing oval glasses with a silver frame, a pastel orange crop-top hoodie, ripped jean short shorts ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶h̶a̶d̶ a̶n̶ ̶a̶p̶p̶l̶e̶ ̶p̶a̶t̶c̶h̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶m̶, a brown messenger bag, and brown, fuzzy, boots with ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶f̶u̶r̶ white fur.

"And hello, Rini-sama" Bokutō bows

The one on the right nodded in response.

Oookay, that's a very important person I guess?

'Rini-sama' had straight, black hair that went down to their collarbone, and had regular straight bangs (y'know, the usual quite girl hairstyle) their eyes were a really pretty emerald green, they had a dark green school bag, and was wearing the Fukurōdani school uniform.

Bruh, why are they all so frickin' gorgeous?

After everyone greeted each other, and after I had been formally introduced to the three musketeers, we finally headed into the mall to begin shopping.

[Shdhakbwnak. I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to end it here, it's too long and they haven't even gotten into the actual mall ToT. Word count: 1,823]

Yours fruity,
Remi
