Chapter Text
"Hey hey hey!!! Tsukki you came!" Bokuto greeted as he saw Kei and Tetsurou enter the house
"You're too loud Koutarou" Akaashi reprimanded before greeting their friends "I'm glad that you're able to come Kei" the blond blushes "Pleas enjoy the party, Kenma and the others are inside the kitchen"
Kei and Tetsurou went and sat on the floor. Kei was amazed at how big Koutarou's house was and wondered why he stays in an apartment (not that his apartment was small, far from that).
The house was filled with people, most are their friends from highschool and from businesses.
Kei felt shy. It's not his first time to attend one of Tetsurou's friend's party, it's just that everyone was already acquainted and the only people Kei know are those inside Tetsurou's inner circle of friends.
Kei felt fingers interlaced with his. "you okay firefly?" Tetsurou's hazel eyes greeted, they're beautiful and Kei thinks the rave looks really good tonight, though he won't tell him that.
the blond smiles "Yes, I'm okay"
"promise to tell me if it get too much?" Tetsurou asks, knowing his firefly isn't a fan of large crowds
Kei's heart quickens at how caring Tetsurou is being (though his boyfriend always takes care of him)
"I promise" Tetsurou leans in and kisses his forehead
"Hey hey hey!!! Miyuki in the house" Bokuto shouted
Kei saw how his boyfriend's ears perked and both of their attention turned to the gorgeous brown haired girl that just came in.
Kei felt something bad in his stomach but he ignored it.
"Babe, I'll just say hi to Miyuki" Tetsurou said "drinks and food are in the kitchen, Kenma is there too" he reminded before he left.
Kei sighed.
He went to the kitchen and saw the gang inside
"Hi Kei-chan!" Taketora greeted and hugged him. The other greets him as well.
He sat on the bar stool beside Kenma. Lays down on the table. "where's kuro?"
"Tetsu went to say hi to one of your friends...i think"
Kenma hums, his eyes gazing at the blond's eyes "are you okay?"
Kei shows him a small smile "I'm fine"
He's really not.
There's something about Miyuki that bothers him, he didn't want to judge since he doesn't know her yet.
Suddenly, Tetsurou barges in the kitchen with Miyuki and Kei sat down properly. The bed head goes over to him.
"Miyuki, this is my firefly Kei." Tetsurou said "Kei she's Miyuki one of my closes friend during highschool"
"it's a pleasure to meet you" she smiled " and it's great to see you guys again!" she said to the others
"it's a pleasure to meet you too" he said shyly
" I hope Tetsu isn't giving you a hard time" Miyuki chuckled and the bedhead pouted
"Yuki-chan don't be mean to me"
Kei felt unsettled, as if he was missing out on something, but he did his best to be polite.
"Ah, Tetsu sure is a pain in the ass" Kei smirks
Tetsurou hugs him "not you too firefly" Kei rolls his eyes
"you're still stubborn Huh Tet-chan?" Miyuki laughed and pinched Tetsurou's cheek.
Kei felt a tug in his heart as Tetsurou ruffles the girls hair
From behind Kenma and the others are trying their hard to physically not face palm
"Tetsu is fucking densed" taking murmured as he notice Kei getting uncomfortable in the company of Miyuki
"suddenly I have the urge to punch Tetsurou" Taketora answered
"Kei are you going to come with us? We'll be seeing some friends." Kei politely turns him down "okay, take care babe" Tetsurou said as Miyuki pulled him outside
Kei went back on the bar stood slumping down on the table. Kenma offers to play with Kei to brighten up his mood. Thankfully the blond agreed
"damn. Kuro sure is stupid" Kenma thought
---------------
Currently the gang was lounging on the sofa. Kei was sharing earphone with Kenma, both are still playing Smash Bros. Tetsurou was with Bokuto, Akaashi, and Miyuki talking to some friends.
All attention turn to Bokuto as he suggests playing truth or dare. Everyone quickly gathered in the living room. Some sat down to play while the others were just spectating.
Tetsurou sat beside Kei, but to the blond's dismay Miyuki was sat on Tetsurou's other side.
The game started. It was hilarious, few dares were made that made everyone crack up. Everything was going smooth until the bottle pointed to Miyuki.
"Truth or dare" everyone shouted
"dare"
"kiss someone you missed" somebody suggest and everyone agreed.
The room was filled with whistles as Miyuki turns red
A few second passes, then Kei's eyes went wide as Miyuki's lips landed on Tetsurou's cheek.
Everyone cheered. Except those who are close with Kei, even Bokuto felt a little uncomfortable.
Tetsurou was stunned.
"It's the love story that never happened" somebody shouted
Kei's eyes burned
"isn't this like high school again? Miyuki and Tetsu are at it again!"
his heart constricted
"just like the old times"
His throat went dry
"if Miyuki didn't leave, we'll all still suffer from the inseparable duo"
Kei unsdertood, the implication of their word, what they wanted to say
if Miyuki didn't leave, Tetsu would've been hers, and you...you're nothing
Kei hung his head low as he felt Tetsurou's has on his. Kei won't cry, not now but maybe later, in his room where no one can see.
"hey stop that" Kenma spoke
"all of you, shut the fuck up" yaku added
The laughing stopped as they saw yaku, Kenma, lev, tora, and akaashi look dangerously calm
Tetsurou faces Kei "baby don't listen to them, that was nothing" explains bringing Kei's hand to his lips.
Tetsurou's heart drops when Kei doesn't say anything. Kei retrieves his hand, stands up and leaves.
The raven quickly follows him "Kei, please."
He stops in front of the door and faces the bedhead "I'm fine Tetsu, go back there. I just need some air." he explains
Tetsurou's still panicking "baby, Miyuki and I are just really close friends, but nothing happened between us. I s—"
"I said I'm fine!" Kei raised his voice and Tetsurou was taken aback. Kei's eyes burned so he closes them.
He breathes. he opens his eyes and gives Tetsurou a small smile "I'm sorry. I just really need some air" he said and walks out. He didn't look back.
Kei shudders as the cold wind blows on his face, drying up the tears that he tried to hard to keep. He walked and walked until he reaches the mansion's garden.
He sits on the bench below a tree. Kei took a deep breath and calmed his thoughts. He gazed at the garden and was mesmerized by its beauty.
Suddenly a voice came
"Waoh! Is your hair dyed or natural?!" Kei was startled. His heart beating fast. He scans his surroundings yet no one was there.
"oops, up here" the voice said
Kei looked up on the tree and saw a boy sitting casually on one of its branch.
The guy smiled at him and carefully went down. He got closer to Kei and the blond notice how tall he was (maybe just as tall as him). He couldn't see what color his hair was because it wasn't too bright.
The boy extended his hand for Kei to take "nice to meet you!" he said
