Page 15 "Wake up!"

(Remi POV)

*Beep beep beep*

The alarm starts beeping as it does every morning telling me it's time to get ready for school. I sigh as a roll out of bed, then begin to stretch.

Even though I went to bed right after I got back to Kuroo's house, I'm still super tired.. Then again, we were shopping for awhile. I talked a lot yesterday too... that wore me out a lot. Oh yeah, and I'm now Tsumi's boyfriend, I almost forgot. I still can't even process that I'm in this universe.. now I have to process having a girlfriend... What fun... I think to myself as I get changed into my uniform.

I yawn as I walk out of "my" room. Only to see that Kuroo still hasn't woken up.

That's weird, he's normally up before I am. Though, maybe he just decided to keep his door shut today? Oh wait, he was over at Kenma's though. Nope, I heard him go to his room last night. Ah well. I shrug then begin heading towards the staircase. Not in the bathroom either.. I narrow my eyes at the bathroom door.

I quickly rush downstairs and into the kitchen.

"Kuroo.?" I ask

"Only the old one" Mr. Kuroo Daiki chuckles

"Oh, has Ku- Tetsuro not woken up yet?" I question as I head over to the kitchen table

"Suprisingly, he has not" Grandpa Kuroo replies "But that's alright, that boy needs to rest a bit longer every now and then. Y'know, he normally wakes up when I do."

"Really? When is that?" I inquire

"Around 4 A.M." he answers "Would you like an omelette?"

"He wakes up that early?" I ask, surprised "And yes, I would like one, thank you"

That man is built different.

"Mhm, he sure does." He nods "One or two eggs?"

"Wow.." I look down at the table "One egg please, by the way"

Oh wait, back in my universe, I also woke up at that time for swim, bUT NOT EVERYDAY-

"Alright" Mr. Grandpa Kuroo smiles as he begins making the omelette

Deja Vu I have been in this place before- Uhh when did this happen? Oh yeah, with my granddad, I think more than once. I kinda miss home... Whatchu mean you miss it? Well, mainly my sister, but she's in college so there isn't much to do about that. Eggzactly! We don't miss shi-. Well yea but I kinda miss our friends too. Yeabut? What's a yeabut? Anyway- wHaT fRiENds? Really had to quote our granddad? Disappointment. Bish we quote everything stfu. No u uwu. nOT THE UWU- I HAD THE URGE TO I COULDN'T HELP IT. ... ... ... ......Rawr x3 nuz- Stop it, get some help. I stare at the table, thinking to myself.

Mr. Daiki then breaks my thoughts as he hands me my omelette.

Bro I seriously need to stop talking to myself. It's concerning. I agree- No shit Sherlock you're literally me -- and I'm doing it again.

"Thank you." I say

"Your welcome." He replies

I then begin eating.

~Timeskip to after eating~

After I finish eating, I pick up my plate and put it in the dishwasher.

Okay, this is a bit strange, why hasn't Kuroo woken up yet?

"Korral, would you mind waking Tetsuro up for us?" Mrs. Grandma Kuroo asks as she sits on the living room couch

"Of course, I was just thinking about doing that." I reply, slightly bowing

"Thank you, dearie" She smiles

Nooo, why is she so sweet?? Fr brooo. I just said- whatever.

I then begin sprinting up the stairs and round the corner to Kuroo's room.

Okay, here's my opportunity to quote a vine (again). Buuuut what if he decided to change in his room this time... Hmmmm.. aha! I have an idea.

I shut my ̶b̶l̶u̶e̶ ̶o̶r̶b̶s̶ eyes tightly and place a hand over them too. With my other hand I grab the door handle and swing the door open.

"WAKE UP SLEEPY HEAD!" I shout

"The fuck man..?" I hear Kenma mumble

"oOHHHhH-" I immediately shut the door and start cackling

I then hear some thuds and someone opens the door.

I turn around to see Kuroo.

"Look, it's not what you think" he explains holding his hands infront of him defensively

"Mhmmm suuuuree" I say with a :3 on my face (I believe that's called a "coy smile" I'll be calling it that from now on)

"Don't give me that look" Kuroo says, annoyed

"Whaaat? I'm not giving you any look" I reply, with the same coy smile as before

"I hate you.." Kuroo sighs "Anyway, the reason he's over was because his parents weren't home."

"Yea okay bud, you can tell yourself that if it makes you sleep at night." I say sarcastically "Also, I sure hope you didn't let your father and I down by not being safe, it would be very disappointing if you did."

"Right so I'm gonna ignore what you just said and we're gonna move on, what did you need?" He asks

"Oh, welpokaythen" I shrug "Oh yeah you should like hurry up by the way because you guys might be late."

"Huh?" Kuroo looks at his watch "Oh shit!"

Kuroo runs back into his room

"Watch yo' profanity" I say with a higher pitched voice (to better quote the vine) as I peek my head into the room.

"Yeahyeah no swearing on your christian minecraft server blahblahblah. Take your quotes elsewhere." Kuroo says while pulling out his uniform from his closet.

~Timeskip to when they get there bc I said so~

(Remi POV)

Kuroo and I quickly race into the gym -- Kuroo is carrying Kenma because he didn't wanna run -- to see that everyone else has already arrived.

R.I.P. Kuroken. Been fun while it lasted.

"Hey captain, finally decided to show up?" Yakkun asks, annoyed

"Sorry. I overslept." Kuroo replies, also annoyed

Yo why are they so pissed it's like 7 in the morning-

"Oh really? Why is that? Were you talking to 'Tsum-chan', or should I say 'the nicest person in the world'?"

Oh yeaahhhh.

"Actually no, I wasn't, because unlike someone I talk to more than one person." Kuroo replies

"Why you little-" Yaku clenches his fist

"Oookay let's just calm down and get back to practice. It would be a shame if you guys got kicked out of the club for fighting, y'know." I try to calm them down.

The two glare at each other, but then they begin practicing.

Whew. Hey y'know now that I think about it I used to be like this with my "aRcH nEmESis"- oma stohp, please, no one knows that kid besides you, you dumba- eXSQUEEZE YOU. I'm having an iNTERNAL DIALOGUE here. Bitch, I AM your internal dialogue.

~Timeskip to lunch~

(Remi POV for the 361937194610th time)

"By the way Kuroo, where's Yaku?" I hear Yamamoto ask as I enter the rooftop area

"Oh, he's not coming up here" Kuroo rolls his eyes "He said he wanted to talk to his 'other friends'."

Well fu- Yaku is like- my favorite. And Kenma too but y'know. That sucks he's not here.

"Oh, well alright then." Yamamoto nods

Yamamoto looks around as I sit down.

"Where's Lev?" Yamamoto questions

"I dunno, I think he was talking tooo.. Kato.? Fluffy brown-haired kid." I reply

"Do you know if he's gonna join us?" Yamamoto inquires

I shrug in response.

Yamamoto then sighs.

And as if on que -- hey hold on this has been said before -- Lev comes through the door. . . with Kato

"Hey guys, I hope you don't mind of Omi joins" Lev smiles

Ain't that supposed to be 'Tsumu's nickname for Sakusa-?

Kato smiles and waves as they look at the others, but when they spot me their smile fades and they drop their hand.

"Uh.. do you have a problem?" I ask them, tilting my head

Kato flinches "Huh- uh- no I don't have a problem, why do you say that?" Their smile then returns

"Mmmkaaayyy then. Uh, I'm gonna try to convince Yaku-senpai to come up here. It feels weird without him" I say while standing up quickly

Then a few seconds later a dizzy spell hits me and I fall back to the ground as I start seeing black spots.

Hdkagdks I stood up tOo quickly-

"Are you okay?" Someone asks, I couldn't tell who

I wait a few seconds to recollect my thoughts.

"..Yeah I'm fine." I finally reply, then get up slowly and dust off my clothes.

Well, if that didn't wake me up from this dream, I don't know what would. How about a volleyball to the face? ..you're done, you're done-

"If you say so" Yamamoto sighs

"Welp, I'll be back" I wave to the others while walking backwards to the door

"Cya" the others wave back

I then turn around, open the door, and head down the stairs.

While walking through the third-years hallway -- which I doubt I'm allowed to be in -- I hear whispers. Which is weird. Like, I feel like it should be a lot louder and like thati shouldn't be able to hear those whispers. Ah well, and it's a shame I can't make out what they're saying.

Dude someone just said "I dunno, he seems like he's just Yaku-san's height though" wdym you can't hear them? Okay, so I cAn hear some people, which is again, weird. I thought I was like- deaf. I mean that's what our sister always says- oma we need to stop bringing up irl people THAT THE READERS DO NOT KNOW. bUT THAT'S LIKE THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS PAGE!? DA FUQ U MEAN?? AS IN THE TITLE IS "WAKE UP" YEAH BC KUROO SLEPT IN??! NO IT'S BC IT'S LIKE A WAKE UP TO REALITY. NONE OF THE READERS ARE GONNA GET IT. aaAAAA EVERYONE JUST SHUT UP- Oh hey wait we should ask that person where Yaku is, since we don't know. Oh yeah, good idea. Y'see, this is why you're the smart one.

I then proceed to turn around and walk towards the person.

"Hello, I hope I'm not interrupting anything. I heard you talking about Yaku-senpai? I'm looking for him, but I don't know where to look." I ask while scratching the back of my head

"I told you he was younger than us" the other person whispers

"Oh, yeah he should be in classroom 3-4 -- he's eating with Kai." The person answers "Why do you ask?"

"No particular reason, it's just he didn't come to the rooftop today so I was wondering. Thank you by the way" I smile, then bow and head towards the classroom

3-2... 3-3.. 3-4...... Oh wait 3-4-! Okie dokie, here I go-kie. ..I'm an idiot- We been knew bestie.

I exhale then slide the door open carefully. I peek my head in and look around for Yaku. When I spot him I open the door more, and walk towards him.

"Uh Yaku-senpai --" I bow quickly "Are you planning on heading to the roof today? Oh and, Kai-senpai, you can come too if you want, even though you normally don't, but y'know-"

Omfa why must I be like this- I already know he's not gonna. Bruh, I had like no plan why did I do thIS.

"Oh, no, I wasn't gonna, sorry Korral" Yaku laughs awkwardly

Ohmfqueh (mispronunciation of "omfg" that I think often. Why? Bc yes) I CAN'T I'M -

"Awh, really?" My expression saddens and I look at the ground "Lev's there too, by the way"

"Well, Lev's annoying --" Yaku stops "Why do you guys keep thinking that if Lev's there then I'll just magically go?"

"Uhh, because, it's fun to make fun of him?" I start off "I mean for me, there was this guy I used to swim with like, before I came to Japan, who was like 5 inches shorter than me, and whenever I made fun of him it was hella fun. And this other kid in my scouts. So much fun. Rude, but fun."

"..You do have a point there.. but Kuroo's also there." Yaku replies

I inhale, getting ready to speak, but then shut my mouth, thinking about what to say.

He does have a point, they aren't on the best terms. True dat. But like the ship?? And it's just better. Yea I feel like that ship is gonna sink bc of Kato- Honestly same. hENCE YAKU TO RUIN IT?? Idk bruv.

"Uhh, I would be sad if you didn't?" I question myself

Yea that works? NOPE WAIT NO-

"No wait, uh." I pause

Oma. I should not have played that card.

"Uh, don't feel guilty, uh I didn't mean it? Yeah, uh. I just want you to come, but if you're uncomfortable then that's fine too? Uh." I pause "Yeah."

This could not have gone any worse ohmfqueh-

Yaku chuckles a bit.

Uh? Good? Bad? Crying? Yes.

"Alright, I'll go, but only because you asked nicely" Yaku laughs a bit more

"Really?! Yay!" I celebrate

"I guess I can go up there for once" Kai smiles

"Ohmaaaaghhvqjdgasg" I fall to the ground

"Oh-" Yaku and Kai blink rapidly

I stand up q u i c k l y. Like a dumba- and once again I fall back down.

Ohmfqueh- I needa stop that.

"Woah, are you okay?" Yaku asks

"Mmm, yup" I pop my lips "I do that often don't worry. Well, do I? Nevermind now's not the time-"

I then get up slowly and we head back to the rooftop.

~Yea so uh. Another timeskip (to when they get to the rooftop)~

"So I'm sitting there, barbecue sauce on my titties." Lev continues his story

I'm sorry. Hwat. Naw bc that vine has already been quoted in this book. Fr fr, and idek if that vine was made yet. Mhm mhm.

"Oh! Hey Yaku! And Kai?!" Yamamoto exclaims

"Huh-?" Lev turns around "Yo Kai wazzup!"

Kai smiles and waves in response

aWWW HE'SH SHO CUTE OHEMGHEE AHQHhwvnGAhbVsbBsh

"Ooh hey Korral guess what?" Lev smirks

"What?" I question as I sit in back down in the circle

"You're not the only one with a partnerrr~~" Lev taunts

"Uh, yeah, I know" I reply, confused

"Wait what? Who else has a partner??" Lev questions "Why am I always the last to know these things??"

"I thought you did know? Isn't that why you said that?" I tilt my head

"Nuh-uh, I was meaning that I also got a partner." Lev blinks

..He- He- He- He hwat.

"Huuuuh!?" Everyone except for.. Kato.. exclaims

Uh, why isn't Kato confused? aND WHY IS YAKU CONFUSED I'M GONNA CRY WHAT-

"You?? You got a partner?? You?? As in?? You??" Kuroo asks, very confused

"Yeah, who would ever wanna date you??" Yaku asks

Dayum, okay Yaku. You really don't like Lev. And this is new how?? Stfu okay?? I GET IT IT'S NOT CANNON BUT BRO KUROKEN IS POSSIBLE SO?? SOBBING

"Hmm, I want y'all to guess" Lev smirks

"It's Kato isn't it?" I reply dull-ly

"Oh- wow- you got it- Hurray!" Lev blinks a couple times

"I'ma go sob in the corner now. Uh. Cya never wanna be ya" I bite my lip and do the f-boy face as I get up and walk away.

Then turn around ofc cause I have no other friends.

"I'm back" I say sitting back down

"Right so we're gonna ignore that -- Who is also dating someone??" Lev questions

"Kuro and I are" Kenma mumbles

"..WHAT?? KUROO YOU'RE GAY???" Lev exclaims

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?? YOU'RE ALSO GAY!" Kuroo shouts

"WELL, YEAH, BUT I EXPECTED YAKU TO GET ANY KIND OF PARTNER BEFORE YOU DID. I MEAN HE'S SHORT, BUT HE'S BETTER THAN YOU!"

"OH SO NOW YOU'RE BRINGING YAKKUN INTO THIS??"

"YES. I. AM."

"cAN Y'ALL SHUT UP ALREADY-" I yell

Then the rooftop goes quiet.

"Ahem, anyway, eat your stupid food and stop arguing- especially when someone as -- uh -- nice as Kai-senpai finally comes up here." I nod at myself (and that makes sense how?)

We then all nod and begin eating

"...Hey y'all wanna play fuck marry kill?" Kuroo breaks the silence

I turn to him "This is why Yaku-senpai doesn't fucking love you"

"What?" Yaku questions

"...WHAT KIND OF QUOTE IS THAT??" Kuroo yells

"ONE THAT HAS MOM IN IT, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE ONE OR AT LEAST I HAVEN'T SEEN HER. SO I MODIFIED IT TO BE YAKU-SENPAI. SO THEREFORE; A GOOD ONE." I yell back

"Why me???" Yaku questions very confused

"Well I mean, you're like the mom friend on the team, y'know?" I blink rapidly

"No no, he has a point." Yamamoto agrees

"Yeah, he does have a point."  Lev also agrees

"Wha- but I'm a guy??" Yaku's face becomes even more confused

"Well, yeah, but you give mom friend energy not dad friend energy." I explain

"Okay.. well then who would give 'dad friend energy'?" Yaku questions

E z, Daichi, but I'm not meant to know him so fu-

"Hmm, well, no one really? But also sorta Kuroo? But like he's not responsible enough -- maybe Kai?" I respond

"WHA- WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH?!" Kuroo exclaims "AND YOU HAVE NO ROOM TO TALK, YOU'RE LIKE, SUPER IMMATURE."

"I'll have you know I'm an eagle scout and I'm not one but TWO grades ahead -- although I do admit that's half because I'm American and like yk but shhh. So therefore I'm like the maturest of mature" I say, biting my lip at the end and doing the f-boy face

"How mature" I hear Kato mumble under his breath

And I heard that how??

I stare at him then turn to Kuroo "Hey y'know how you wanted to play fuck marry kill?" I ask

"Yeah? Are we gonna play?" Kuroo perks up

"No, well yes, but not now. It's gonna be at a sleepover, whenever is the earliest" I reply, then quickly add "It'll just be the volleyball team, and me ofc, but y'know you get the point."

"Bet, how bout tomorrow?" Kuroo questions

"Kuroo we have a game on Saturday that is the worst idea ever" Yaku protests

"Too bad so sad, also Bokutō and maybe Akaashi are coming too." Kuroo replies

"And me too" Kato adds

I giggle sarcastically "Ehe, no."

"Why not..? You're going. Do you have a problem with me or something?" Kato retorts

"Actually, I don't have a problem with you, but it sure does seem like you have one with me. Ever since we first met you just have always seemed off, but I thought that was just your personality or something. But then today, you glared at me and nobody else, but when I confronted you about it you were all like 'Me?? Glaring at you?? I would nEVER. I am the nicest, most perfect person in the world.' When in reality you're fake as fuck. Like you can just admit when you hate someone, it's not that hard."

(Stop with the paragraphs this is already too long ista-)

"Hey, don't say that! Ominato is a great person!" Lev proclaims

"Yeah, I.. I don't know where you got all those lies from." Kato agrees looking worried and sad

"Yeah, okay, and Tsumi's a great person too." I respond blankly, I then turn to Yaku and Kai "Yaku-senpai, Kai-senpai, I'm sorry for bringing you guys up here when the only thing that's happening is yelling and fighting. I will now be excusing myself as I cannot deal with this bullshit for any longer. Excuse me."

I then bow, pick up my stuff, and leave.

(Finally-) Man stfu you're the one writing this shi- (No u bih)

"So uh.. my house for the sleepover?" Kuroo asks

I hear them all agree -- except Kato ofc <3 -- as I walk through the door.

[Hi, I'm not dead. Sorry this took FOREVER my schedule doubles over the summer.. ish so it was hard to cram it in, and well, it was pretty long. Also be warned that the next page(s) will be long (probably). And will also take long to make. I now take community college classes along with school, then there's swim and- you get the point. Also sorry the endings rushed, I really wanted to get this out. The end is also off-topic but hey there really wasn't a topic to begin with so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Also no, I won't be proofreading this until like a month later or something. Have fun. Also also I'm sobbing bc I know no one even reads this BUT WHAT IF SOMEONE STUMBLES ACROSS THIS AND IS LIKE "HEY THIS IS RECENTLY UPDATED LEMME READ THIS" Y'KNOW?? BUT BY THE TIME SOMEONE READS THIS WELL Y'KNOW, SOMEONE HAS READ IT. Btw how are you? Are you mentally okay? This is cringe and absolute shi- Long story long creator's note amiright? Word count: 3,494]

Yours fruity,
Remi
