Now we need to see omega Yama swooning for Bokuto!? Would it work out!? Would Bokuto like him back? How would omega Yama win him over?
F U C K Bokuyama is so *chef hands emoji*
Two weeks after the last training camp, there’s another– thankfully for Tadashi, the whole issue about his first heat was only kept to the third gym gang and the coaches; and everyone thinks he’d had it during the break between training camps.
“Yamaguchi, you wanna join us for practice again?”
“Oh, Tsukki, I– I think I’m going to go on my own tonight. I’ve been off since last training camp, so I think I need to get my serves in.”
Kei looks at Tadashi with a raised eyebrow. “Yeah? are you sure this isn’t because of what happened?”
“Oh, not at all! I just really should practice what I’m good at!” Tadashi laughs nervously. He looks across the gym avoiding Kei’s eyes. Fukurodani and Nekoma are finishing up a practice match, and his eyes fall to Bokuto.
And just like that, Tadashi remembers what happened two weeks ago and the fact that Bokuto saw him so vulnerable and oh god he left his shirt, the sinful things he did with that shirt pressed up against his nose--
“Stop lusting after Bokuto-san, before the entire gym can smell you.”
“S- Sorry, Tsukki!” Tadashi isn’t used to his dynamic yet, and he’s absolutely mortified of the idea that he can’t control himself good enough. “I just...he’s really muscly, isn’t he?..”
“You know, I left him with you when I went to bed and when he came back he was shirtless and a bit flustered...”
Tadashi’s cheeks burn. “I-- He didn’t-- No, it isn’t like that!”
“Yamaguchi, chill out, I know that.” Tsukishima chuckles. “He didn’t want it to turn out like Kuroo-san, if he tried.”
“H- He’s fine, right? Kuroo-san? I feel like it was my fault that he got hurt...”
Kei rolls his eyes. “It’s only Kuroo-san’s own fault. Don’t worry about that.”
“If you’re sure...”
“I’m sure.” Kei pats Tadashi’s back, not missing the look in Tadashi’s eyes as Bokuto lands the last spike in the Nekoma-Fukurodani match. “You sure you don’t want to head to practice in third gym with us? Bokuto-san will, of course, be there.”
“I shouldn’t. But thanks for the offer, Tsukki!”
“Alright. I’m gonna skip out on dinner tonight, so Ill see you in the morning. Get enough food, your body is still adjusting.”
“No need to worry. See you in the morning.”
Tadashi was normally allowed on the alpha floor until he was going to go to bed, but he wouldn’t even be allowed at the door to the end of the hall after dinner. So he wouldn’t go see the alpha once practice was over to talk like they usually do.
“Don’t overwork yourself.”
“Of course, Tsukki!”
-
“Hey, Tsukki, how’s Yamaguchi-kun? I meant to ask how he was after our match earlier today, but he kinda rushed off. Not that I don’t love seeing him walk away~”
Kei glares, giving a little growl. “Watch it.”
“Sorry, sorry–” Kuroo’s only barely healed from a black eye from two weeks ago, curtesy of one Bokuto Koutarou. Kei shudders at the memory; he’s never seen Bokuto so serious. “But seriously, how is he?”
“Fine. Why wouldn’t he be?”
“Hey hey, we’re just trying to make sure he’s safe! I thought he might’ve rejoined us, at least.”
Kei shrugs. “I think he’s a bit embarrassed. He probably would have, if that hadn’t happened.”
“Ah, that’s nothing to embarrassed about! It’s just biology.” Bokuto says, shrugging it off. “Omegas are great, if you think about it! I’ve been doing a lot of research, since I don’t experience things that they do, and it’s super cool!”
“Yeah, omegas are pretty…yeah.”
“Well, it’s about time to head over to the dorms. Let’s get some shuteye!” Bokuto hops up with a grin, looking at the clock on the wall.
“See you guys,”
“Good night,”
They all separate and Bokuto volunteers to find campus security to lock up the gym. Once that is all squared away, he’s heading back to the guest dorms. On his way back, he notices a sweet smell and hears the pounding of a volleyball and turns around the corner, eyes falling on one Yamaguchi Tadashi.
“Yamaguchi-kun! It’s getting a bit late to be out, don’tcha think?”
Yamaguchi looks a bit startled by being interrupted, but once the shock settles his face settles into a frown. “You mean too late for an omega to be out, right?”
“O- Oh, no, of course not!” Bokuto stutters, worried he’s offended Yamaguchi. “I just mean the street light isn’t going to be very much light in the dark, you might lose a ball.”
“Oh.” Yamaguchi relaxes a bit, looking sheepish. “Sorry. I’ve just– been getting a lot of that lately.”
“That must be frustrating.” Bokuto leans against the wall with a frown. “I understand why, but it doesn’t mean you have to deal with people demeaning you.”
“It is.” Yamaguchi slams the ball into the wall with a frustrated growl, one that makes Bokuto shiver. “I miss being a beta.”
“Oh, don’t say that! There’s so much about omegas that are wonderful, you shouldn’t be ashamed.”
Bokuto can see even in the dark the flush that adorns Yamaguchi’s cheeks as an awkward silence fills the air.
“…Bokuto-san, I just want to say thank you– for the last training camp…you haven’t told anyone what happened, right?”
“Of course not! That must’ve been embarrassing– uh– even though it shouldn’t be!” Bokuto blushes. “It really shouldn’t be…And I won’t tell anyone about how Kuroo was acting like a perv or how I totally wanted to kiss you, and– oh boy I’” m talking a lot–
“Why didn’t you? Kiss me, I mean.” Yamaguchi looks down at his feet, bouncing the ball. “I mean, I gave you the opportunity. To– To kiss me, to do more…”
“I…Well, Yamaguchi-kun, I…I knew that if I started, I wouldn’t stop, and you had a time limit. You had to be out of there by morning…” Bokuto says softly. He breathes in a deep breath and wow, when did they get so close? “Y- Yamaguchi-kun?..”
“Bokuto-san, if I gave you another chance, what would you say?..I don’t think I’d mind. If you didn’t stop.”
Bokuto has to look down to look at Yamaguchi’s face they’re so close. His eyes widen a bit, and he – Bokuto Koutarou, alpha and coolest guy ever – he actually whimpers. “I- I’d say yes, Yamaguchi-kun…”
“Then here’s your chance.”
“Wh– Wha–”
“Kiss me, Bokuto-san, before I decide you’re too much trouble and head back to the dorms.”
And so Bokuto does. He pulls Yamaguchi towards himself by the shoulders, and once he’s right there he lifts one hand to cup Yamaguchi’s cheeks and he does it. And, well, he’s the luckiest alpha in the world.
