Daily Speedwrite Pairings: Day 11
“I can’t calm down! I’m freaking out man!” -Tsukkiyama
This could be seen as non platonic??
Also I’m dying at how soft Tsukishima is.
A pair of shrieking second years bounded down the hallway, past the team’s sleeping room, “GHOST! GHOST!”
Tadashi shot awake. His eyes widened and his breath hitched. Did they say...?
“GHOST!!” he heard again.
The first year shuddered and furrowed his eyebrows, looking to the world around him. He had to rationalize his surroundings, ensuring he was the only one awake. Sure, he was the only one awake, but him and Tsukishima were the only ones in the room, trying to sleep at the moment.
He didn’t know what to do; he just knew he needed help. “Tsukki? Tsukki wake up!” Yamaguchi cried in a hushed tone, shaking the sleeping boy next to him, “Tsukki please I need you!”
The blonde awoke with a jolt, instinctively wrapping himself around his friend, “What’s wrong? Who am I fighting? Do you need something to drink? Did you have a bad dream?” the deluge of rambling questions continued to assault Yamaguchi.
“Tsukki- I’m alright! I’m just... just scared.” Tadashi whispers as he looked anywhere but at his friend.
“You scared the hell out of me, Tadashi. I thought you were crying.” The tired boy let out a yawn and placed his glasses on his face, “But you’re still scared; so let’s get you calmed down, alright?” Tsukishima placed a gentle hand on his friend’s shoulder.
“I’m so thankful for you.” Yamaguchi nuzzled into the embrace, “You make me feel safe.”
Tsukishima allows himself to smile in contentment, “I’m glad you trust me, Tadashi,”
Tanaka and Noya come bursting in the room, causing both first years to jump.
“WE SAW A GHOST!” GUYS!” Noya’s breathless cries absolutely petrified poor Yamaguchi.
“I’m sure you didn’t.” The blonde’s glare could’ve pierced through the second year, “You need to take your antics before you scare Tadashi to death.” He stated through gritted teeth.
“Some of us are actually trying to rest before the camp tomorrow.”
The olive haired boy began to tremble in his friend’s grip, whimpering slightly. He kicked himself away from his friend and hid inside his futon.
“Tadashi you need to calm down.” Tsukishima states bluntly, petting the latter’s hair.
“I can’t calm down! I’m freaking out man!” Yamaguchi whined as he pulled his covers up to cover his eyes.
“We all know that Tanaka and Nishinoya are just messing with us. There’s no ghost.” Tsukki replied with a scoff.
“But what if there is?!” Yamaguchi peeked out from his cozy shield, “It could get us!”
“Oh get a hold of yourself. We’re not children anymore.” The blonde snapped back.
“R-right...“ the frightened boy replied gently, his tone much softer than earlier.
Now you’ve done it Tsukki, “Tadashi I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have snapped at you like that.” he sighed, “You’re scared... and It’s my job to keep you safe.”
“ ‘mfine-“ Yamaguchi mumbled, “Jus’ go back t’ sleep.”
“Tadashi I’m not letting you mope. You’re not being bothersome. I know that’s what you’re thinking.” Tsukki stated, scooting closer to his friend.
“How do you always know...?” Yamaguchi mumbled, snuggling into his futon.
“I just do.” Tsukishima replied, “I also know that I’m going to have to resort to drastic measures to get you feeling better.”
“Tsukki no! I’ll wake everyone up!” Tadashi whined.
“No one else is trying to sleep.” the blonde let himself smile menacingly, hovering over his friend, “I’ll need to get you free from your cozy prison first, though.”
Tsukishima attempted to pull the futon off of Yamaguchi, only receiving a pretty good fight from the latter. Tadashi giggled madly as he tried to keep the blanket above his head, only pulling it away from his ankles.
“You want to do this the hard way huh?” Tsukki questioned bluntly, eyeing the olive haired boy’s now exposed feet, “Fine. Have it your way.”
The blonde hooked his arm around Tadashi’s ankle, trapping the boy’s foot.
“Nonono! Tsukki! They’re gonna hear you!” Yamaguchi whined while tugging on his leg.
“You mean they’ll hear you?” Tsukki asked with a sinister grin.
Tsukishima wasted no time spidering his fingers over one of Tadashi’s feet.
“Tsuhuhuhukkihihihi!” Yamaguchi fell backwards against the floor, giggling uncontrollably, “dohohohont.“
“Don’t? But you seem to like it if you’re laughing. Laughing equals merriment my book.” Tsukki stated, changing his spidering to scratching.
“NGRHG- TsuHUHUKIHIHI!” Tadashi attemped to hold back his laughter, but no avail.
“That’s me. What do you need?” Tsukishima’s teasing was almost unbearable to poor Yamaguchi. Tsukki played dumb and spoke so sarcastically that Yams didn’t feel like a little kid. Tsukki made him feel like a flustered little high schooler.
“No thank you. I haven’t gotten my fill yet.”
Tadashi threw his head back in agonizing laughter, “GOHOHOHOD YOHOHOHOUREHEHEHE SOHOHO MEHEHEAN!”
“Mean?!” An over exaggerated gasp followed Yamaguch’s accusation, “How dare you Tadashi, I thought we were best friends.”
“GAHAHAHA- TSUHUHUHUKKIHIHI PLEHEHEHEHEASEHEHEHE! NOHOHOHO MOHOHOHOREHEHEHE!” Yamaguchi was slapping Tsukishima on the back.
“Are you still scared?” The blonde asked as he released Tadashi’s foot.
“Then it seems like my job isn’t done.”
Tsukishima prayed that the walls would be thick enough to cover his friend’s inevitable ticklish cries for mercy. Regardless, he sat on his friend’s waist and began to squeeze Yamaguchi’s bare knees, causing the boy to jolt up.
“NGH- HAHAHAHA NOHOHOHOHO! TSUHUHUHUKKIHIHIHI!” Tadashi whined as he pounded a fist against Tsukishima’s back.
“No? Is this spot too ticklish? You have an even more ticklish spot that I could be abusing right now. I decided to be nice. You should be thankful, Tadashi.” The sinister blonde stated bluntly.
“PLEHEHEHEHEASEHEHE AHAHAHNYWHEHEHEHRE EHEHEHELSEHEHE!”
“Oh anywhere else? Alright... I guess you just want me to attack your death spot.” Tsukishima did a 180 turn in his friend’s waist, used his knees to pin Tadashi’s arms, and pulled his shirt up.
“NO! WAIT! BACK TO MY KNEES! ITSOKAY!“ Yamaguchi was pleading for his life.
“But I really wanted to hear you giggle while I tickle you here. It really gets you going.” Tsukki wasted no time in his assault, swiftly dipping a finger into Tadashi’s belly button.
Yamaguchi squealed and bucked his hips, “NAHAHAHAHAOHOHO! TSUHUHUKKIHIHI- SHIHIHIHIHIT!”
“My my Tadashi. I thought you were better than those other doorknobs. I never expected you to have such a foul mouth.”
When the blonde brought a hand up to squeeze at the pudge around the boy’s belly button, it was already over.
“GAHAHAHAD TSUHUHUHUKKIHIHIHI STAHAHAHAHAP! NOHOHOHO MOHOHOHOHOREHEHEHEHE!”
Tsukishima retracted his finger but continued to gently squeeze Tadashi’s sides to get him down from the high.
“Are you alright, Tadashi?”
“Do you want me to tuck you in?”
The blonde chuckled and obliged with his friend’s orders. He snuggled into his own futon then pulled his friend into his chest.
“No ghosts. No monsters. Just me. Rest now. You’re safe.” The whispers in Tadashi’s ear were enough to send him into a coma.
When morning followed the eve of the day, the two friends were surrounded by their teammates sleeping around them. Except for Nishinoya and Tanaka.
“Oh! G’morning boys!” Sugawara’s cheery voice rang, “You must be wondering where the second years are.”
Tadashi, who realized he was in Tsukishima’s grip and wormed out of it, furrowed his eyebrows, “does this have to do with the ghost thing?”
Sugawara let out a hearty chuckle, “Precisely. They were frantically telling everyone they saw a ghost. Scared the bejezus out of a lot of us.”
The two first years learned that it was just Asahi, who had taken his hair out of the bun he usually keeps it in.
“Anyways, please prepare for camp. It seems you two were very well rested and Tadashi seems to be more relaxed than all of us.”
“Suga-saaaan.” Yamaguchi whined, hiding his face in his hands.
“Oh don’t worry. We won’t use that to your disadvantage.” He smiles happily, “Where was he even getting you?”
“Tadashi here has the most ticklish belly button it’s just soooo cute and he can’t stand me talking about it.” It was Tsukishima’s turn to interject.
“Oh you’re just like me-“ Sugawara caught himself with wide eyes, “I mean-“
“Oh? Are you thinking what I’m thinking, Tadashi?”
“Let’s introduce Suga-San to your teases.”
Let’s just say that the rest of the team wasn’t too upset to be woken up by the noise, when they learned the source was Sugawara’s joyful laughter.
