Chapter Text
First Year
Middle school is when Tetsurou first knew of Bokuto Koutarou.
It was one of their first matches of the season and Tetsurou had a hell of a time stuffing that young owl’s spikes. There was a ravenous hunger in those big, golden eyes that Tetsurou found irritating as a rival, yet so enticing for reasons that he wouldn’t decode until much later in life.
Kenma simply found him annoying and too loud.
Their first conversation took place in high school, Tetsurou hadn’t really thought much to keep track of wherever Bokuto went and going from Nekoma middle school straight into Nekoma high was the natural path for Tetsurou. He’s sure his family had enough money, just not enough to enroll in a private school like Fukurodani or Itachiyama and he wanted to stay close to Kenma despite them going to different schools now.
Tetsurou was beyond giddy to attend his first summer training camp with high schoolers because gosh they’re all so cool and it’ll be fun to see who they’ll be playing in the coming season. Morisuke was curious about the other libero's and Nobuyuki seemed fine with having an excuse to hang out more with the two of them, definitely the first time the trio was together off campus and away from their parents for longer than a few hours.
Karasuno, Fukurodani, and a couple other schools came to join and Tetsurou was ready to show that Nekoma could take them all on... not to mention the punishments that came with losing their games. He was not anticipating that plus he had to impress their upperclassmen so he wouldn’t be a benchwarmer all year, there was so much on Tetsurou’s shoulders!
They wound up matched with Karasuno the first day who was living up to their reputation of having been fallen crows, it was clear the third and second years were halfassing their training while at least Nekoma was taking it seriously. Their first years were putting in some effort though, not that the bar was very high, but Tetsurou could commend them on that and was quick to introduce himself after their matches.
Daichi, Koushi, Asahi - three people who would also end up sticking around longer in Tetsurou’s life than he originally thought, even if Daichi got frustrated by his teasing first off. Shame they had to do laps on the hill before they could get too carried away in conversation, but they had a week to squeeze in hanging out a little between all the training.
Tetsurou immediately texted Kenma once they were finished with dinner and back in their room, giving him all the details from his first day and saying how Kenma should be here now. Kenma entertained him at least, more than Tetsurou thought as he asked about the players there and how their games went, going all the way to curfew where Tetsurou had to put away his phone.
Next year Kenma would be here to experience it all in person.
The second day they were matched with Fukurodani and everyone knew their reputation as one of the powerhouse schools in Tokyo. Tetsurou couldn’t say he was afraid, more like elated to have the honor and chance of facing a strong school and prove himself. Tetsurou had the height to be a decent middle blocker, but there was more to that when they wanted to reach nationals and win , he needed to hone in on his technique and learn the skill sets of their opponents.
And one of them was Bokuto, just as bright eyed and insanely energetic as he was last time they faced each other across the net. He was on an elite team that would especially make use of his powerful spikes and Tetsurou would go out of his way to stop that owl at every opportune time.
The perfect rival who got Tetsurou fired up.
He almost wasn’t too salty about eventually losing to them because he was having a world of fun and taunting Bokuto was quickly becoming his favorite activity to do here. Bokuto wasn’t afraid to bite back and only pushed harder against Tetsurou, thus fucking up a couple of his hits and Tetsurou would be noting that for later use.
It was again on the second evening that Tetsurou filled Kenma’s texts about his day... and Bokuto, so much about the Fukurodani spiker. Sure there were others like Konoha and Washio to look out for, but Bokuto captured his attention and even though his legs were sore from running up that hill god knows how many times, he couldn’t get the sight of Bokuto’s competitive expression out of his head.
It made his inner alpha grumble with the need to fight harder, to show him up, prove he's the best. Since blooming last winter as an alpha, Tetsurou dealt with the normal effects of what comes with being a new alpha and going through puberty, however this is the first time his alpha has been so... vocal.
Was Bokuto an alpha? He had to be, right? Nobuyuki was still waiting on his second gender and Morisuke was confirmed as an omega a month before Tetsurou. Kenma was definitely going to be an omega or stay as a beta, but if his best friend ended up as an alpha that’d be neat too!
Everyone wore patches and took blockers here to prevent any fighting or rogue pheromone use so the question of second genders was always in the air. Some were open and honest, others preferred to hide it for whatever reason, and people like Tetsurou were just easy to figure out. Using that logic, Bokuto was probably an alpha... although if he was an omega... his alpha purred at the thought and Tetsurou decided then it was time to sleep.
Third day was more of the same, more training, more of their third years getting on their asses. Tetsurou’s only reprieve was when they had a short break and he dunked his head under the fountain, Tokyo summers were brutal and he was burning up. Kenma would be whining so much about being worked this hard, it put a smile smile on Tetsurou’s face as he pulled away from the basin and nearly jumped out of his shoes when he saw who was standing there.
“Warn a guy won’t you?” Tetsurou barked at him as the owl snickered back at him, so amused by the soaked and frightened cat.
“And miss out on scaring the shit out of you? Nah,” Bokuto grinned as Tetsurou grabbed his towel to lightly dry his hair, “you should have seen your face.”
“Fuck off,” Tetsurou weaponized said wet towel and went to whip Bokuto’s side, but the wing spiker dodged it and obviously Tetsurou wasn’t going to quit there. Bokuto ran around the fountain with Tetsurou in chase and taking advantage of the fact that he had gangly, long legs he was able to catch up to Bokuto pretty damn quickly.
“Ow, you fucker!”
“That’s what you get for running, makes everything worse,” Tetsurou cackled as Bokuto pouted while rubbing his lower back, “Kuroo one, Bokuto zero .”
“Oh yeah? Let me go find a towel and we can even this up!” Bokuto huffed as Tetsurou snickered at him, “... wait, I came here for something else, but I will get you back!”
“Oya? What did you want, other than your ass whipped?”
Bokuto’s giggles lifted Tetsurou’s mood tremendously, even if he was just fine before... all the exhaustion resting on his shoulders melted away when he saw that beaming smile. His alpha rumbled in his chest, Tetsurou ignored it since they aren’t on the court and he was mature enough not to get into a fist fight with some other alpha like they were cavemen.
“I wanted to know if you’d practice with me later? My teammates won’t do extra practice since they’re all busy I guess... and I had a lot of fun going against you yesterday!”
“Mmm... practicing with the enemy, huh?” Tetsurou rested his hands on his hips as he eyed Bokuto, “must have a fetish for watching me shut down your spikes over and over.”
“I do not! Wait, what’s a fetish?”
“Uh...” Tetsurou debated on answering that and decided on veering elsewhere, “how about we invite the first year crows too? I’ll get Yakkun and Kai on it and it’ll be a whole thing.”
“It’s gonna be so fun!” Bokuto was bouncing with joy and Tetsurou’s alpha was still rumbling, it’s gotta be the most noise it’s made lately. Tetsurou wasn’t going to be one of those aggressive alphas, he promised himself and Kenma. His father probably wouldn’t mind...
Dinner was still some hours away by the time they were free from their obligatory training and they met up in one of the spare gyms. Bokuto brought Konoha to balance them out and they played four on four while switching teammates and such throughout. The time passed by so quickly that it took one of the Fukurodani managers peeking in to tell them that dinner was ready and they needed to lock up the gym.
The group of them ate outside on the hill, under the starry night sky and Tetsurou found himself plopped next to Bokuto on his right and Koushi to his left. Bokuto didn’t seem adverse to their closeness as their thighs and shoulders touched, all too eager to talk about the games they just played.
“You guys mind if I take off my patches? My skin gets really irritated if I leave them on all day,” Koushi complained as the others agreed and soon they were all peeling off their scents on their necks and wrists, “am I the only omega here?”
“Nah, there’s two of us,” Morisuke chimed in.
“I’m like, eighty percent sure I’ll end up as one,” Konoha said with a small shrug, “but yes, we’re surrounded by stinky alphas.”
“I don’t stink, do I stink bro?” Bokuto leaned closer to Tetsurou with a hint of worry on his face.
“You’re like a musky vanilla rain,” Tetsurou said as he took a brief whiff of Bokuto’s shoulder, “so you kinda stink, but it’s not a bad stink.”
“The kinda stink you like?”
“If I had to choose a stink to smell, it would be yours, bro.”
“Kuroo!” Bokuto grinned and Tetsurou’s alpha purred , “you smell nice too, like coffee and mocha and smoke and like... it’s awesome. Very Kuroo.”
“Very Kuroo? Say that like you’ve known me for longer than a day.”
“We’ve known each other since middle school!”
“That barely counts, Bo.”
“It counts in my heart,” Bokuto held a hand to his chest and who was Tetsurou to deny him? He could only smile back as it did feel as if they’d been talking for much longer for how well they’ve hit it off.
If it weren’t for curfew, Tetsurou was sure they would have stayed out on that hill all throughout the night. They went on about their favorite manga, anime, games, food and whatnot and for Tetsurou it was rare to feel easily comfortable with people, let alone without Kenma by his side, however he was a bit sad when they had to separate.
“Weird how fast you two got along,” Morisuke remarked.
“Well, Yakkun, we could have the same deep friendship if you weren’t insistent on fighting me over everything.”
“Maybe you stopped being wrong about every stupid thing that came out of your mouth?”
“I’m never wrong, you just live to be a contrarian!”
Tetsurou spared Kenma his texts that evening once he washed up and crashed in his futon, his thoughts lingering on that certain owl. The rest of the week was parts grueling and parts fun, Tetsurou could say he learned several lessons and had plenty to work on in the future.
On the last day they exchanged emails and of them all, Tetsurou was excited to have Bokuto’s if only because they both lived in Tokyo and maybe they could hang out together later. And text, Tetsurou really wanted to keep in touch with Bokuto.
He knew from the moment he got on the bus and his phone started buzzing, Bokuto was just as enthusiastic to chat him up and perhaps like Kenma, he’d find a lifelong friend in him.

Kenma hid behind Tetsurou as they neared the large fountain where Bokuto and Konoha were waiting. They’d been texting the entire train ride and Bokuto’s owlish searching eyes landed on Tetsurou almost immediately.
“Bro!”
“Hey, hey my main man,” Tetsurou stretched his arms out and Bokuto took it as an invitation to give him a crushing bear hug. Tetsurou passed on the blockers today and Bokuto definitely wasn’t wearing any patches, his alpha hummed in content at reuniting with that scent once more.
Alpha...
Maybe it didn’t want to fight Bokuto anymore? That’d be good news since they were bound to hang out even more after today. Tetsurou reciprocated the hug and took the chance to inhale Bokuto’s scent gland on his neck, he really missed that... and enjoyed it.
“Oh um... this is Kenma, my best friend,” Tetsurou said once Bokuto let him go and peered behind the alpha to spot the tiny one, “Kenma this is Bokuto and Konoha.”
“Hi Kenma! Kuroo’s told me so much about you, you’re like a gaming master, right? I wanna play you sometime. There’s an arcade here that we can go to if you want!”
“... Hi.”
“Apologies, he gets really hyper around new people,” Konoha slapped a hand on his shoulder, “don’t overwhelm him, looks like he’s on the verge of running.”
“I’m not, I’m just introducing myself! He plays video games, I play video games, it’s like the best possible impression, Aki.”
Kenma just stays quiet and behind Tetsurou.
“Don’t worry, he takes awhile to warm up,” Tetsurou patted his hair, “what do you guys wanna do first?”
“I dunno, I guess we can walk and see?” Bokuto suggested and the others agreed. The shopping center was a bit crowded with students from other schools and a few Tetsurou recognized from the Nekoma uniform.
He was a little nervous since this was the first time they met up since the training camp, but without the mandatory volleyball they were free to be more relaxed and casual. Tetsurou missed Bokuto’s energy and his laugh and his... everything, he was such a fun guy to be around and he resented the fact that they weren’t going to the same school so he could see Bokuto everyday.
They popped into a few stores and Kenma wandered off in the direction of the arcade that was on the second floor. Tetsurou fully expected that while Bokuto wanted to check out the foot locker just across the way, Konoha didn’t mind splitting off with Kenma so Tetsurou wouldn’t feel guilty about leaving him alone.
Tetsurou wasn’t much of a sneakerhead, but seeing the wonder in Bokuto’s eyes was enough to get him extremely interested in whatever shoe Bokuto was talking about. They tried a few on until Bokuto was satisfied with finding the perfect pair to add to his collection (that he’d already sent Tetsurou photos of), he then offered to buy Tetsurou a pair. And by offer I mean he wanted Tetsurou to choose one right at that moment because they were bros and it’s like a gift, you know?
Alpha provides...
Tetsurou buried that weird purring as they left for the arcade to see Kenma and Konoha playing a fighting game side by side.
“How many times have you lost?”
“Don’t fucking ask.”
“Good job, Kenken!”
Kenma just had the cutest smile from the praise.
Tetsurou doesn’t know just how long they spent playing around in the arcade, he was down for whatever Bokuto wanted to play and it was the need of food that pulled their group out into the food court.
“You wanna go after this, Kenma?” Tetsurou asked him as they found an empty table and sat down with their trays.
“I don’t care, we can stay,” Kenma pulled out his PSP in favor of actually eating and Tetsurou tutted before getting a fry to feed him with.
“You sure? I don’t want you to feel like you have to.”
“It’s fine, I’m having fun.”
Oh, fantastic.
“You guys wanna catch a movie or something?” Konoha asked from across the table, “my parents don’t care when I get home.”
“But it’s a school night,” Tetsurou said, “... thought my dad probably won’t give a shit either.”
“Mine care, I have to be home by nine,” Bokuto said as he picked up his burger, “but they won’t yell at me if I’m a little late. What movies are there?”
Konoha listed off a few and there was a debate over the action or horror movie that Tetsurou was so very much against. Bokuto didn’t want to be terrified either, or get nightmares... but their best friends were evil and won the coin flip.
Wow, Tetsurou has never taken longer to devour greasy fast food.
“Come on you big babies,” Kenma rolled his eyes before leaving his chair and Bokuto was whining like a puppy trailing after him. Konoha was not doing Tetsurou any favors either as he looked so excited to see the two of them act like such scaredy cats.
The only positive was that they got to sit next to each other and share a huge bucket of popcorn.
“You can hold my hand if it gets too much,” Tetsurou whispered and was shocked when Bokuto instantly took him up on the offer. He swears he heard Kenma groan from beside him, but he was way too focused on Bokuto’s hand touching his own.
Like, he’s held Kenma’s hand plenty of times when they were younger, but it never felt quite like... this? Tetsurou would put his fright aside and stay strong for Bokuto! He couldn’t use any calming pheromones since it was required to put patches on before entering the theater, however a hand hold could go a long way.
It was probably a good thing the theater was mostly empty with how loud the two alphas were screeching at this serial killer hunting everyone in this haunted house down. Kenma and Konoha were caught up in their own bet of wondering who would die next and who was living to the end, sadistic bastards.
Tetsurou was never more relieved about the credits screen rolling, although Bokuto did let go of his hand and that was... not fair. It’s not like Kenma where he could just hold it anyway, ugh get over yourself, Tetsurou... it’s not a big deal.
Kenma was definitely tired by the time they hit the street and it was getting dark out, so they all headed to the train station together and waited for theirs to come. Bokuto was still ever so chatty as Kenma leaned on Tetsurou’s shoulder and Konoha was busy scrolling through his phone.
“I really wanna do this again, Kuroo, it’s not often I get to hang out with friends.”
“Why not? You seem like the type that’s never at home and always doing shit.”
“Ah... everyone is usually doing stuff or already has plans when I ask,” Bokuto said, “it was the same in middle school, but like you know life can be super busy at times.”
“I see...” Tetsurou nodded, “well, I’m usually free as long as I’m not studying or have a long practice, I love seeing you. Honestly I was thinking it sucked that we don’t live closer to each other or go to the same school.”
“Oh my god could you imagine if we were neighbors? I’d be visiting all the time,” Bokuto grinned, “and you would meet my sisters! Wait... they would definitely torment you too.”
“You think I can’t handle a couple girls? Please.”
“Hmmm...” Bokuto looked at Tetsurou with a critical eye, his gray eyebrow furrowed, “Kaede-nee maybe, but Emi-nee is scary when she’s angry. She’s a lot like Kenken though, so maybe...”
“If anyone is an expert on Kenma-isms, it’s ya boy,” Tetsurou smirked and Bokuto just snorted, “but when you say torment, what are we talking about?”
“Dresses, makeup, food taste tester, sometimes they’ll use me if they did something bad because my mom likes to baby me,” Bokuto lists off, “there was one time Emi-nee got caught sneaking back from seeing her girlfriend and Kaede-nee told me to go cry about having a nightmare so mom would get distracted.”
“Oh wow, smart girls.”
“Right?! Emi-nee still got grounded I think, I was like four so I don’t know,” Bokuto shrugged, “I’m a useful tool for them.”
They would have to keep this conversation going by text as their train arrived and Tetsurou waved off the duo as Kenma wrapped his arms around Tetsurou’s. It was so easy to get lost in talking to Bokuto, Tetsurou already knew this from the hundreds of texts they shared, but... it’s like the world around them became muted. Faded. Gone.
Weird.
Tetsurou dropped Kenma off at home and bounded across the street to his own house, seeing that his dad’s car was in the driveway.
“I’m home-”
“Tetsurou!”
Tetsurou froze on the spot as he saw his dad in a state of... almost near undress with a random omegan woman on the couch. Thankfully the back of the couch was covering all of that up and preserved Tetsurou’s innocence.
“Uh... I’m going... upstairs now.”
Tetsurou shielded his eyes and booked it, making a huge mental note to never sit on that couch again, ew. It wasn’t uncommon for his father to bring home women from who knows where, none of them ever stuck around as his dad didn’t want a relationship in the slightest.
He likely would’ve ditched Tetsurou too if that were an option for him, but nope they’re stuck together for another three or so years. Tetsuurou shut his bedroom door behind him, left his bag on the floor and admired the shoebox that contained the shoes Bokuto bought him earlier.
Alpha, alpha, alpha .

Tetsurou went to change out of his uniform and into more casual clothing before going to his desk to see what homework he needed to do. He could get in an hours worth of studying and then get up early to finish the rest of it, worth getting to have a social life.

Nerd
Tetsurou was just about to text back when he heard a knock on his door and told his father to come in.
“Thought you were coming home later.”
“Well... I’m usually home by six, but we watched a movie and then had to leave because of Bo’s curfew.”
The older man clicked his tongue and leaned on the doorway, “when you said late I expected midnight, not fuckin... now.”
“Sorry if I ruined your chance to get laid?”
“It’s whatever,” He fished a carton of cigarettes from his back pocket and pulled one out, “you have fun? Get into any trouble?”
“Yes and no... you know I don’t run with the same crowds you did in high school, pops.”
“You should, it’ll make you less of a tightass,” He flipped the cigarette between his fingers and left his spot at the doorway, “assuming you ate?”
“Mmm... I was going to study before going to sleep.”
“Mmm, kay,” His father left down the hallway and Tetsurou was a little... surprised by the interaction. He usually didn’t care where or what Tetsurou did, as long as he didn’t get in his way.
Well, whatever, he needed to study.

To Dad
Going to Bo’s place
Be back on Monday
Tetsurou left the gym, went straight to the train station and to Bokuto’s place after their game was finished. The win felt wonderful, but Tetsurou didn’t really care to celebrate it with the team when he could be seeing Bokuto as soon as humanly possible.
They met up fairly often after their first time together, typically bringing their friends along too and it tended to be a pretty chill time just away from school responsibilities. Tetsurou’s father still didn’t give a shit meanwhile Kenma’s parents were definitely curious about this Bokuto boy and the rest of his Fukurodani friends. They should probably schedule their next sleepover at Kenma’s place... or his own... no, Kenma’s would be better.
He’s sure the Kozume’s would love Bokuto.
Tetsurou knew that Bokuto’s family was loaded, all the more proven by their home and the expensive cars sitting in the driveway. Shit, he really did become best friends with a rich boy, one that wasn’t terribly stuck up or insufferable for once... his father would be saying something about hitting the lottery.
Bokuto was eager to greet him at the door and gave him a hug, like he always did upon seeing Tetsurou and like clockwork Tetsurou’s alpha approved with a soft purr. The interior of Bokuto’s home was cozy and... warm, it reminded Tetsurou of his grandparents' place in a way.
Bokuto Satoshi and Ari were just as Tetsurou expected, hell Bokuto was a mirror image of his father and if that’s what the alpha would look like when he was older, that was going to be one lucky omega. Bokuto pulled Tetsurou up his bedroom once the introductions were said and done and being ambushed with the alpha’s scent surrounding him nearly shot him into a daze.
Alpha... alpha’s den...
“Whaddya wanna do?” Bokuto asked as Tetsurou flopped himself down on his huge, king sized bed and rolled over onto his stomach.
“I dunno, I usually just play games or watch anime or... exist in the general same space with Kenma, don’t always have to plan stuff,” Tetsurou stretched out his long limbs and looked up at Bokuto sitting beside him, “it’s still early though.”
“Right! Right... I’m just excited, I don’t really have friends coming over too much... Aki does sometimes, but never for a sleepover.”
“Well... you can show me around, then we can watch a movie or something? I’m kind of just in a chill mood, if that’s cool.”
“Super cool, dude.”
Being alone with Bokuto was a new and fresh concept that Tetsurou felt shouldn’t be this um... ugh, he didn’t even know how to describe it. All they were doing was watching some drama that Bokuto loved and being so close to the alpha was making Tetsurou’s skin tingle. He was so aware of Bokuto pressed against him, of the subtle pheromones spilling on him, of how his fucking alpha wouldn’t stop rumbling and purring since he entered the Bokuto household.
It wasn’t like that with Kenma, he could just be without his head feeling all... fuzzy.
“Bro, are you falling asleep?”
“Huh?” Tetsurou blinked, his head resting comfortably on Bokuto’s shoulder, “sorry, I didn’t mean to... I had a long week.”
“No, no it’s fine, if you need to nap go ahead... you can use my lap too!” Bokuto helpfully patted it and was Tetsurou really supposed to reject that offer? He scooted so he could lay his cheek on Bokuto’s thigh and felt fingers in his dark hair, oh this was nice .
Mmm... Alpha, good.
“Your hair is so soft for being so spiky, though mine is the same,” Bokuto remarked, “I think I use way more gel compared to you.”
“Gotta keep those owl spikes looking fresh, Bo.”
“Hell yeah!”
Tetsurou drifted off at some point and was woken up when Bokuto told him that dinner was ready. They headed downstairs and ate with his parents, giving Tetsurou some time to learn about them and what they did.
Satoshi was a former pro volleyball player and Ari used to be in entertainment as an actress and singer, now she ran her own fashion line. That really explained the money, Bokuto was born into wealth... Tetsurou wasn’t sure just what his father did or the legality of it.
He always just answered with a simple, ‘office worker’ when asked.
It was easy to envy someone like Bokuto with good parents and a wealthy lifestyle, definitely spoiled to a point, but Bokuto became his best friend for a reason. He was a great person and awesome to be around, he also pushed Tetsurou to be better at volleyball through their rivalry. Tetsurou didn’t understand why Bokuto didn’t have many friends when he was so stellar on every level, but that meant more Bokuto for him.
They went back upstairs after dinner and went playing games late into the night, accompanied by a heap of junk food that Bokuto procured before Tetsurou came here.
“One more race, then I think I’m gonna pass out,” Bokuto whined as Tetsurou snickered, “I wanna stay up longer.”
“It’s almost one, I’m surprised you lasted this long, big boy.”
“As someone who recently turned sixteen-”
“Last month.”
“- I’ve gained the ability to stay up one additional hour.”
“That’s if you can make it,” Tetsurou teased, “proud of you though, soon you’ll be a hardcore night owl like Kenma.”
“No way, he’s up all the time! I love sleeping too much.”
Eh, couldn’t argue with Bokuto there. Kenma was up right now actually, he got roped into playing online with them and whooped their asses.
“Tets, can I ask you something?”
“Is this a distraction tactic because I see right through you.”
“No! Yes, maybe...” Bokuto’s eyes were locked on the television as his little kart racer was zooming through, “do you ever think I’m too much?”
“In what way?”
“In all the ways? I don’t know... I just overheard some teammates saying I’m too intense and that I’m kind of a drag to be around... especially with my mood swings so no one wants to deal with me.”
Mood swings, Tetsurou knows about the existence of them and sometimes Bokuto won’t answer his texts for days before responding like everything is normal again.
“You’ve never been too much for me Bo,” Tetsurou says as they’re on the last lap now, “we’re best bros and that means always supporting you, no matter what, even through your shitty times. Kenma has like, major anxiety and it might get worse whenever he presents as an omega, but that doesn’t mean I’ll stop being friends with him.”
“Oh... I didn’t know that.”
“His anxiety attacks come and go, I try to keep them from triggering when I can... but there’s only so much I can do and I guess it’s the same for you? I’d still do what I could to help you through it,” Tetsurou said, “you’d just have to tell me how it works and what to look out for... and stuff.”
“It’s the worst when I’m playing and I’m not doing my best, sometimes when I’m alone and the thoughts in my head get too... stressful,” Bokuto softly replied, “I understand why they don’t want anything to do with me outside of volleyball, but it kinda hurt? Or is that stupid, I don’t know.”
“It’s not stupid, they’re the assholes,” Tetsurou quickly said, his own scent spiking with emotions, “they’re clearly too dumb to take the time out to get to know you for you , you’re amazing Bokuto and I always love spending time with you and hanging out and doing whatever with you... they’re idiots and don’t deserve you.”
“Woah... okay, I agree, they’re idiots,” Bokuto smiled, “now you’re getting intense and stinking up my room.”
“I’m stinking it up with how much I care about you, Booookuto!” Tetsurou dropped his controller and tackled Bokuto onto the floor, causing the alpha to go into a giggle fit. Tetsurou has only ever shared his scent with Kenma in the times that they cuddle, but now he couldn’t really stop his pheromones from flooding out and embracing Bokuto.
Alpha, alpha, alpha .
Bokuto reached up to inhale Tetsurou’s neck gland and hugged him, “don’t tell Aki, but you’re my favorite friend.”
“Called it.”
Tetsurou’s phone buzzed and he ignored it. They found their way into bed, eventually.

Tetsurou spots it by chance when leaving the bathroom, a small orange and glittery bag that’s fallen between the counter and the wall. He reaches down to pick it up and pulls open the golden zipper to reveal a mix of makeup products and a couple pill bottles inside of it.
One of dad’s girls must’ve forgotten it here.
Tetsurou considered just shoving it in a drawer somewhere or leaving it in his father’s room, but curiosity bubbled up as he looked over the various makeup products. It’s not something he’s ever been explicitly into since there were no women in the house and not like his dad wore it.
He glanced over the tube of eyeliner and thought of the few senpais at school who wore it, figuring trying it once wouldn’t be that bad. He went off to his bedroom and closed the door, then hopped onto his bed. There were several different items in here that Tetsurou had no clue about like eye shadow, blush, some lip gloss and other things he’d need to look up.
The pills were set aside because he had zero interest in wondering what those did and instead he grabbed the mini mirror that was in an orange case. Maybe he should watch a video of this beforehand... or just wing it, he’s got a steady enough hand. His tongue poked out from his lips as he carefully drew the pencil over his eyelid and hoped he didn’t fuck it up.
It was a little crooked, but not the worst job. Tetsurou liked it. Would Bokuto like it too? Wait, that shouldn’t matter anyway. Tetsurou shrugged the thought away as he applied it to his other eyelid and he thinks he’s got the hang of it now. Now he needs to draw it on his water line and...
“Fuck are you doing?”
Tetsurou drops the pencil and nearly yelps when he hears his father from the doorway, “don’t you know how to knock?!”
“You say that like you’re bringing omegas up here every night,” The older man approached the bed to see the mess of products laying on the bed, along with the discarded pill bottles and bag, “ain’t that Rika’s bag? Or... Rei... Ren? I don’t know.”
“You think I know the names of any of the women you bring home? I found it in the bathroom...” Tetsurou said, “I just... I was curious.”
His father swiped up the pills and glanced between them and the eyeliner sitting in Tetsurou’s lap, “... fuckin’ beats me how you ended up like this. Whenever you’re done fuckin’ around, come downstairs, we’re going out to eat.”
“What do you mean?” Tetsurou asked, there was a bite to his tone that his father raised an eyebrow at, “is this a problem?”
“Relax, I don’t give a shit what you wanna throw on your face, I would’ve gone for popping one of these first,” He shook the bottle with a mischievous grin, then turned on his heel to leave, “don’t be so sensitive.”
Tetsurou is not... ugh , why was the old man taking him out for dinner anyway? When was the last time they even did that? Tetsurou snapped a quick selfie and sent it to Bokuto with a jokey caption before going to clean up and find something to wear.
The chosen restaurant was a ramen place owned by one of his dad’s friends, they sat out on the patio so he could smoke and Tetsurou kinda didn’t mind the cool air. Exams were over, their team won the playoffs to get into nationals, and he’d be going to Sendai this weekend... all in all things were going well enough.
“So... what is it?”
“What’s what?”
“This, why did you want to get dinner?”
“A man can’t take his son out to eat without getting interrogated?” He took a drag of his cigarette as Tetsurou just blankly stared back at him, “... maybe we’re celebrating.”
“What, exactly?” Tetsurou took his chopsticks and dipped them into the noodle filled bowl.
“Did your team win the... whatever you were talking about?”
“Yes,” Tetsurou replied, gathering up the noodles, “you would’ve known if you bothered showing up.”
“You didn’t tell me when it was.”
“You didn’t ask, like you never do.”
“Ugh...” He downs some of his beer as Tetsurou slurps up his noodles, “I’ll go to your little game next year, alright kid?”
“Sure,” Tetsurou resists rolling his eyes, “now give me the real reason we’re here.”
That just prompted his dad to take another chug of his beer and Tetsurou was glad they walked here instead of him driving, “I talked to your mother, she wants to see you for Christmas.”
Oh, Tetsurou never expected those words, not when he’d begged and cried his pops to see her when he was little and it never happened. He remembers it clearly, he was ten when his father sat him down and said she wanted nothing to do with him, she wasn’t going to see him, didn’t care about his existence. Very... brutal for a young child, but his dad was never one to hold back or sugarcoat much... and Tetsurou did have to face the truth.
She dropped Tetsurou off with his dad when he was around three and never came back. His dad kept up a small amount of hope for years, but he must’ve got sick of Tetsurou whining about her. Tetsurou hadn’t thought about her since then... pushing her entirely out of his mind because he didn’t want to dwell on feeling unwanted and abandoned.
“Why now?”
“Guess she got her shit together with her new husband and whatever,” He took another drag of his cigarette, “lives down Fukuoka, wants you to meet the whole family, maybe go live with her if you’re sick of me.”
“I...” Tetsurou gulped and stared down at his bowl, he couldn’t remember a thing about her. Not her face, not her voice, not the way she smelled or anything. She just left him with his dad and that was all, she didn’t want him. She didn’t care about him.
“Oi, Tetsurou, look at me,” hearing the older alpha brought Tetsurou’s eyes up to see the serious expression marking his grizzled face, “if you don’t want to go, then it’s done here. We can drop it.”
“I feel like I should think about it but... I don’t want to,” Tetsurou replied, “I don’t want to see her, but I don’t want to regret it either?”
“Assuming she doesn’t kick the bucket in a few years, you’ve got time,” His father set the butt of the cigarette into the ashtray, “I used to regret meeting her at all because I was a dumbass who fell so hard for her, then you came out of it.”
“And now I’m your biggest regret?” Tetsurou wryly smiled.
“Maybe for a whole five minutes when I didn’t know what the fuck to do with you, but after that? I’d never let her take you away from me. I’ve always loved you, even if I’m a shit dad and suck at showing it.”
“I think that’s the first time I’ve heard you say that you love me.”
“Yeah well...” His dad grumbled before stuffing his mouth with ramen and Tetsurou would accept that was probably the most emotion his old man would show. It is true that he tried his best over the years, although it was obvious he was horrible with kids and taking care of someone else... but Tetsurou wouldn’t trade him for anyone else.
“I thought you hated me, to be honest... that you couldn’t wait to get rid of me.”
“I would’ve dumped you on my parents if that were true, however you’re mine and I wanna be better... wanna be a father you can be proud of.”
“I don’t like the sound of that coming from you.”
“Oh fuck off, I’m being serious.”
Tetsurou laughed as his old man was huffy, but the moment was wonderful and laid Tetsurou’s fears to rest. There were still lingering doubts of course and his father’s questionable day to day behavior away from the home, but Tetsuroou knows now that he’d loved and cherished. He’s not just a burden or an accident.
“You’re still going to Sendai on Saturday?”
“Yeah, with a few friends... probably just going to eat somewhere and play volleyball.”
“Any cute omegas gonna be there?” His dad smirked as Tetsurou rolled his eyes, “come on , kiddo, you’re so serious about school and sports that you’re forgetting the best part about being a dumbshit teenager.”
“What if I’m just not interested in that stuff?” Tetsurou feels the same wave of irritation come over him as when they teased him about liking Kenma, “just because we’re alphas doesn’t mean I’m desperate to fuck every omega I see on the street.”
“Ohhh, that one’s got you heated,” His mischievous grin only widens, “what about an alpha? I never discriminated.”
“An alpha?!” Tetsurou said just as Bokuto flashed through his mind and heat rushed up to his cheeks, “I wouldn’t... no.”
“No?” His father tilted his head and Tetsurou very much wanted to hide anywhere that wasn’t here, he couldn’t feel that way about Bokuto... they were friends , “... fine, whatever, be the king of fuckin’ chastity for all I care. Tell me about your game.”
“I don’t know why you’re so concerned anyway...” Tetsurou wrinkled his nose.
His father pulled out a second cigarette and went to lit it, “I need to know if you’re gonna bring a pup or two home, but you’d probably triple wrap it with double the suppressants.”
“Can we talk about anything else, please?”
“I said talk about your game, Tetsu.”
The rest of dinner went rather nicely as Tetsurou went on about how the playoffs went and their conversation ping ponged from random topics. He’d nearly forgotten that he texted Bokuto until they made it back home a little past midnight.

A crush.
A crush that was all but confirmed when he saw Bokuto at the train station and nearly melted at the sight of the bright smile directed towards him. A crush that had Tetsurou’s heart racing a million miles per minute when Bokuto squeezed him with a hug and Tetsurou understood why his alpha was so vocal every time they saw each other.
He knew about it from manga and movies and whatever other romances he ran across in stories, but it was always an alpha and omega together. The ideal being a strong, dominant alpha male with his submissive, demure female omega that would have a bunch of pups. Tetsurou just assumed that for himself too, but he never held an interest for anyone feminine and omegas as a whole were... they did nothing for him.
Kenma went into a sudden heat in the last week of November while Tetsurou was staying over and that probably should’ve been the biggest clue when he wasn’t affected in the slightest. Of course he still left while Kenma’s parents dealt with all that and loaned his clothes for Kenma’s nest since he was confirmed an omega now, however his alpha remained dormant in the face of his best friend going into his first heat.
He looked up article after article, discussion boards, forums and all over the place for answers... it was extremely rare for an alpha to want to submit to another alpha. And typically met with ridicule that Tetsurou quickly clicked away from, good to know he wasn’t your normal run of the mill alpha.
Bokuto was normal though, on the second gender side of things... he liked omegas, he loved talking about them in the group chat and fawning over the omegas that they’d bring up. He wouldn’t look at Tetsurou in that way, he wouldn’t want to mate an alpha when he can have a gorgeous omega instead that would give him pups and a normal family and ugh .
Tetsurou almost considered faking being sick to get out of the trip, but Kenma would definitely know something was up and Tetsurou needed to get his shit together before talking to him. Those thoughts evacuated his mind the moment Bokuto excitedly complimented him on his eyeliner and outfit, his alpha preened at the praise and how Bokuto left his scent on Tetsurou from their hug.
He’d gotten the window seat and they shared a pair of earbuds as they watched videos on Tetsurou’s laptop. Bokuto didn’t know at all how much Tetsurou liked him, how much Tetsurou wanted to be near him and wear his bond bite - nevermind that they were still first years.
He’s the first person Tetsurou has ever felt this strongly for... like he truly didn’t get it when classmates yapped about their crushes and dated around. And now... now it hit him like a train, Bokuto was his first crush... of everyone that he knew, it had to be one of his best friends that he definitely couldn’t have.
Cruel.
They reached Sendai by early noon and immediately had plans to get lunch with the crows at a barbeque spot. Tetsurou considered sitting away from Bokuto with Morisuke and Konoha, however the alpha took his wrist and pulled him to an empty pair of chairs by Koushi. His alpha shouldn’t be swooning over that, but here it was purring from Bokuto wanting to sit right next to him.
It would be so much easier if Tetsurou was oblivious all over again. Whatever, he won’t make this weird. He let himself get lost in the conversations that sixteen year old boys have and it really didn’t take long for volleyball to pop up and everyone to get all riled up to play right after this.
Did his heart jump into his throat when Bokuto was insistent on the two of them being on the same team? Yes. Bokuto praised his blocking without a second thought and since they were best friends, duh he had dibs on Tetsurou. Morisuke teased him for being so possessive over the middle blocker and Tetsurou quietly liked the sound of that, belonging to Bokuto.
Koushi and Asahi made up the rest of their team and they went from the restaurant to a park that was close to Daichi’s home. The chilly winter weather made little difference for the volleyball fanatics as the match started and Koushi had to adjust his sets for Bokuto and Tetsurou.
Daichi and Morisuke’s receives were going to be a bitch to deal with, but Bokuto was able to break through with a few powerful spikes. Getting a glimpse of what it’d be like to play on the same team as Bokuto sent a thrill down Tetsurou’s spine, they were such a talented duo. Add in Koushi’s cute taunts towards Daichi and Asahi being a cannon all by himself, they were incredibly solid.
Tetsurou took a water break after a few sets and plopped down on the park table, resting his feet on the bench as Koushi joined him. Bokuto still had unlimited stamina and it gave Tetsurou the excuse to watch him for pleasure rather than needing to keep up with him from across the net. That owl’s form was beautiful...
“Bokuto looks really good today.”
“He always does.”
“I don’t see him as much as you do, Kuroo,” Koushi scooted up to sit on the table with the alpha, “what’s your favorite part about him?”
“Thighs,” Tetsurou blurted out just seconds before his cheeks were a faint pink, “I mean-”
“It’s alright, Daichi’s got great thighs too,” Koushi winked at him, “I would bite them if he gave me the chance.”
“You like him?”
“A little, yeah,” Koushi admitted, “do you like Bo?”
Tetsurou’s first reaction was to deny as he always did, but Koushi just confessed about his crush, “... I do, I really like him.”
“I knew it,” Koushi grinned, “you two have been hanging out so often and the way you talk about him... it’s not normal bro shit.”
“Oh yeah? Then why’d you ask about Kenma?”
“A test, like yeah there was a real chance you were fawning over Kenma, but... I felt it at the training camp,” Koushi spoke in all confidence, “the way you looked at him and your scent getting sweeter and-”
“Shut up!” Tetsurou hissed as Koushi giggled, “how do you even... figure all that out?”
“It’s all very omegan behavior, they teach you that in etiquette classes... that alpha’s don’t attend,” Koushi replied, “they’re all pretty boring and bullshit anyway, but you like Bo.”
“I like Bo, I like an alpha,” Tetsurou admitted, “it’ll never happen though, he’s obsessed with omegas.”
“Maybe he just doesn’t realize it yet~” Koushi said, “literally everyone here, including myself, are chronically addicted to volleyball. Anything else goes clean over our heads.”
“I only noticed that I liked him three days ago and had a crisis over it, still am,” Tetsurou saw Bokuto’s owlish eyes land on him, “you won’t tell anyone, right?”
“Don’t say anything to Dai and you have my word, Tetsurou.”
“Deal.”
“You two coming back in?” Bokuto asked and Tetsurou certainly had enough rest. They were on opposite teams for the rest of their matches and played until early evening. Tetsurou would’ve loved to stay longer, but they had to catch the train to Tokyo and he wanted to come back soon, maybe for spring break.
The chances of Tetsurou staying awake for the train ride were fairly low, but he was happy to get the window seat again and... have Bokuto scent him. His inner alpha was growing louder as Bokuto’s pheromones rolled off of his scent glands and wiped away the sweetness of Koushi’s scent and anyone else.
Was he aware ?
“Bo, you keep scenting me and people will get the wrong idea.”
“That we’re best friends? I see nothing bad about that, plus I don’t like it when you smell like anyone else, it’s weird.”
Tetsurou’s brain was too scrambled to answer, he just closed his eyes and set his head on Bokuto’s shoulder. Friends, that’s all they’ll ever be.
~
The number of piercings that Tetsurou had was two, both in his ear lobes when he was baby and thus can’t remember how that went at all. Kenma didn’t have any, but he was looking to get something in his ear and Bokuto was here for moral support.
Probably? It seemed the longer they were in this small shop, the more likely Bokuto wanted something to match with Tetsurou and Kenma. The youngest wanted his lobes pierced and Tetsurou was getting an orbital piercing for now, he had several others he planned on adding in the future.
“I wanna get yours.”
“Yeah? Wanna be piercing buddies?”
Bokuto eagerly nodded and Tetsurou loved his enthusiasm, “it’ll be an awesome way to bring in the new year!”
The woman doing the piercings handled Kenma first, the two alphas held his hands even as he protested against it. Tetsurou felt him squeezing as the piercing gun was lined up and he was so ready to comfort him if he started crying.
Kenma took them both like a champ and was quite pleased.
Tetsurou was up next, needles never bothered him too much and he knew if he wanted to get more piercings, he couldn’t be a bitch about it. He smelled Kenma’s calming pheromones nonetheless, they soothed his nerves and were potent in a way that could put Tetsurou straight to sleep. Bokuto held his hand like a good bro too.
And now the oldest was up and Tetsurou was a little worried that Bokuto wouldn’t be about to take the pain or the knowledge of the needle, but the alpha was rather calm. He wanted to be cool just like Tetsurou and Kenma and well, he achieved that in Tetsurou’s eyes... especially since they had the same piercing now.
Alpha, alpha, alpha...

~
Studying with Kenma could be an ordeal.
Getting him started could be easy enough if he wasn’t being stubborn about it, but staying with the program? Kenma would whine about being hungry, being tired, wanting to play something for a ‘break’, and a dozen other things to needle Tetsurou down. Or attempt to, Tetsurou was a professional at this game of studying they’ve been playing for years now and knew all his best friends tricks by now.
Bokuto on the other hand... he got distracted terribly easily and his attention span lasted the length of a hair on his head, but Tetsurou worked out a system. Bokuto loved to be praised and had the consistent drive to be dominant on the court... so apply that to his homework and baby, we’ve got an academic Bokuto going.
Tetsurou was admittedly a tad hesitant to try studying with Bokuto first off because he had his own routine when going about it and although he had to mother Kenma at times, he could focus enough to get his work done. He couldn’t turn down Bokuto’s plea for help as spring exams reared their ugly head and he would help his best friend pass so he could stay on the volleyball team!
And you know, spending more time with his crush that had not simmered down in the slightest. He was okay like this, just getting to be friends with the alpha and not really needing more than that... it’s what he tried to convince himself as he absolutely refused to think about what happened on his rut.
It was earlier in the month, Tetsurou expected it and he got the days off from school to be holed up in his room with the few articles of clothing that had traces of Bokuto’s scent and well, you know . All four days were an unsatisfying blur and fingers were never enough for him, he didn’t want to rut into a fleshlight, he wanted to drop down on Bokuto’s dick.
If he asked Kenma about his heat toys in the following days, that was their business.
“I can’t focus for shit,” Tetsurou groaned from his spot beside Bokuto, they were gathered at the chabudai with textbooks and worksheets scattered about.
“Ooo, maybe you caught my ADHD?”
Tetsurou snorted at that as he closed his eyes and slumped on Bokuto’s shoulder, “I wouldn’t be surprised at this point, I’ll take the failing grade.”
“Don’t be dramatic, we’ve only been at it for... twenty minutes, huh,” Bokuto said, “have you gotten anything done?”
“Nope.”
“Maybe you need some incentive? Like how you praise me, I can do it for you! Look at you, doing so awesome with your biology work!”
Alpha praise, alpha think we’re good, alpha loves us.
“Uhhh, I don’t know if I need all that,” Tetsurou hoped Bokuto wouldn’t notice the shift in his scent, but he’d never pointed it out any other day.
“Everyone deserves some praise and you’re always doing so much for your friends, especially me, do you ever take the time to appreciate yourself?”
Tetsurou blinked as Bokuto was looking at him a little too intensely for his liking, “I mean, I do, but it’s not that deep... I just can’t grasp any material today.”
Bokuto hummed and Tetsurou was slightly relieved when those owl eyes stopped focusing on him, his alpha whined from the loss of attention, “how about like... a reward? You read a few sentences and I’ll give you something.”
“Like what, treats? People may call me a cat, but you don’t have to treat me like one, Bo.”
“You are a cat,” Bokuto grinned, “and it’s not like I’m training you to do tricks, it’s something to motivate you!”
“And just what would this reward be? I’ll need something more enticing than whatever trail mix is left over,” Tetsurou smirked as he rested his chin on the palm of his hand.
Bokuto thought about it as he looked around his room, trying to find something Tetsurou worthy as a reward, honestly the middle blocker could push himself through studying anyway , but this was more fun.
“What about a kiss?”
“What?” Tetsurou blurted out, heat blooming on his cheeks.
“One kiss for every... paragraph? Page? I don’t know, whatever works for you.”
“... you’re serious.”
“I read it in one of my sister’s manga! There was this really smart guy -you- who didn’t really need to study, but the girl wanted him to stay so she kissed him as a reward,” Bokuto firmly replied, “and like, I guess we don’t have to kiss, we could do something else like serve a volleyball-”
“We can kiss,” Tetsurou tried not to sound too eager about it, “... but you’d be my first kiss.”
“Oh, I can kiss you on the cheek or your nose or forehead or maybe your hand?” Bokuto listed as Tetsurou internally screamed at every option, “whatever you’re comfortable with! Or I can hug you, or scent you... or...”
“You can smooch my cheek, that’ll work just fine, alpha~ ”
Tetsurou got a whiff of Bokuto’s pheromones surging from that one, cute. With the brand new reward system in place, Tetsurou got to reading and their study session was back on track. Tetsurou tapped his cheek every time he finished up a page and Bokuto gave a chaste kiss, it was the best fucking thing ever to happen to him and Tetsurou would cherish every single one.
Both cheeks were peppered with kisses, along with his nose and knuckles on his hand. Bokuto really kissed anything that Tetsurou pointed at with no hesitation and by the end of their studying... Tetsurou’s finger landed on his lower lip. He thought Bokuto would laugh it off and they’d probably find literally anything else to do away from these god forsaken textbooks, but he was met with soft lips on his.
Need alpha...
“Uh, shit, sorry I kinda just...” Bokuto blurted out, “it doesn’t have to count as a first kiss.”
What if I want it to?
“Don’t worry about it, reward kisses don’t count,” Tetsurou said as he closed the gap between them once more, another soft kiss, “you get one too.”
“Yeah...”
Neither moved for several seconds, Tetsurou’s mind was beginning to fill with anxiety until Bokuto was kissing him again. And again. And Tetsurou took the back of his neck so Bokuto wouldn’t move away and their lips would keep moving against each other. His inexperience was likely obvious, but when would Tetsurou get this chance ever in his life again?
Bokuto not-so-subtly pushed the table out of the way just enough so he could press himself on Tetsurou and take him by the waist. Tetsurou didn’t know what to do with himself, he was happy to follow whatever pace Bokuto was setting and melting in his touch, in his strong scent spilling into their space.
“... was that an end of studying, kiss?” Tetsurou asked with his swollen lips and halfway onto Bokuto’s lap.
“Yeah, you know, take our reward system very seriously,” Bokuto softly smiled, “you’re really good at it, Tets.”
“I was just following you...” Tetsurou murmured, putting a hand on Bokuto’s chest, but so unsure if he wanted to push himself away or get closer, “... should we stop?”
“I don’t want to stop, unless you wanna stop.”
“Whatever is cool.”
Cool, meaning Bokuto pulling Tetsurou fully onto his lap and them resuming their kissing, that’s a definition of cool Tetsurou could get behind. He rested his hands on Bokuto’s shoulders and spread his legs to straddle his friend as their lips refused to part for longer than a few seconds.
When looking back on this moment, Tetsurou wishes he stopped himself because none of this was worth the grave pain he inflicted on himself.
