[ apparently akaashi and bokuto are terrible about checking their inboxes today, so akaashi doesn't see these texts. who feels their phone vibrating in their pocket while they're walking outside, honestly?
so instead of getting an answer, bokuto gets a very loud knock on the door.
[ birds of a feather, right? because really, bokuto kind of tosses his phone somewhere where he can't see it, more scared of the response than anything. is he terrified for his life? yes. is he overreacting for really no good reason? also yes. akaashi's not going to kill him, but his brain connects 'akaashi' to 'didn't tell something important'
he's terrified for his life.
which also happens to be exactly when he hears a knock at the door. because at first, he thinks he imagines it, and heads over closer just to check. he's hovering right behind the door when he hears the second knock, and very much fails at keeping his presence a secret when he squeaks. ]
I'm sorry I'm sorry don't kill me! [ nope, he is holding that door closed. ]
[ akaashi sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose. he doesn't have time for all of these dramatics when there are clearly bigger things to talk about. ]
I won't kill you Bokuto-san, just tell me what's going on.
[ crap. c r a p. he should not do this. he should keep the door closed and let his survival instincts take over. but he also can't, not when it's akaashi on the other side.
[ okay well at least bokuto opens the door all the way now. ]
Yeah! A frat house! It was technically Kuroo's idea but it was mine to get married. All married couples get a house to themselves and they're assigned kids and if we are already married and have the house it'd make it easier!
[ logic, akaashi. he's trying it out - so he thinks. ]
So let me get this straight. [ god damn bokuto what in the hells ] You and Kuroo intend to get married just to have a house to yourselves and consequently turn it into a frat.
The houses aren't all that far apart, and they're only intended for four people. Not to mention virtually everyone we both know spends a fair amount of time at this sports center - not to mention you're getting married.
Doesn't that seem strange to you?
[ akaashi doesn't seem himself as a person with old timey ideals or problems with something like this, but it all seems so sudden and strangely forced. like something is just slightly off kilter, and it's way too unsettling for him to just let it go. not this time. ]
Yeah! And each house has a married couple and two kids and when you're eighteen you get assigned to a house with kids and a husband or wife or whatever. Plus we have to go to school. [ he shudders a little at that though, since they're out on summer and he hasn't had to worry about it. ]
Not to mention we're not even supposed to be here - there are people who don't remember things that have already happened back home! Did you know Oikawa hasn't lost to Karasuno yet? That's really weird too!
[ so no, getting married isn't really high on his normally kind of out of whack sense of what's weird and what's normal. sorry, akaashi. ]
Do you have to get actually married? Why not just pretend? The rest of this place is fake enough. [ seriously do you see those houses? he shakes his head, none of this properly clicking into place.
especially one thing he says about oikawa and karasuno and what is he talking about?? ]
Of course Oikawa hasn't lost to Karasuno yet, the tournament wasn't going to start until tomorrow. [ or at least, tomorrow from when he remembers last from being home. everyone had been talking about it at practice, wondering how karasuno would do, after all. ]
I know that, that's why it seems ridiculous to bother with weddings at all.
[ unless there are other reasons bokuto and kuroo want to get married but well, akaashi isn't going to dwell on that.
what he does dwell on is that apparently bokuto thinks the tournament started, that they made it to the semi-finals (of course), when akaashi doesn't even know their first match. ]
No...?
[ just when akaashi didn't think anything else in this stupid place could make him confused. ]
It's the house! We get the house when we're married. Plus we don't have to marry random people- they make you marry someone when you're here and you turn eighteen.
[ he's a little panicked, still, because he doesn't think that akaashi is understanding him and that upsets him.
but at the same time, akaashi looks at him like that and the panic falls away to something more....confused. ]
Yes? [ blink blink. ] Karasuno's playing Shiratorizawa.
...I understand the house, but I still don't understand why the marriage part is necessary. You should be able to get a house without it.
[ a small sigh, because he doesn't know why he's trying to apply logic to this stupid place but he feels better knowing there is some logic here than just random bullshit brigades.
he raises his eyebrows, surprised because he had no idea. ] Oh. Good for them.
[ long suffering sigh(tm) ] Perhaps, but it seems unnecessary.
[ but general annoyance shifts to honest confusion when bokuto talks about the match, talks about him being the one to share the news. akaashi knows their tournament hasn't started up yet, didn't know anything else about any other tournaments and something is just not adding up. he furrows his brows, trying to figure it out. ]
I don't think so. I mean, the tournament wasn't going to start until the end of October.

ULTIMATE SUFFERING
he's terrified for his life.

I'm sorry I'm sorry don't kill me! [ nope, he is holding that door closed. ]
rest in pieces bokuto
I won't kill you Bokuto-san, just tell me what's going on.
r i p
the door cracks open, one gold eye peeking out. ]
Didn't Kuroo tell you?
he lived well
[ you know, the important things like, when did they start dating, or, why the hell are they getting married at all ]
did he...
Well, yeah. You can get married here when you turn eighteen. [ and this is just bokuto mixing up 'can' and 'end up whether you want to or not' ]
......yeah?
You can get married at eighteen in Tokyo as well, that doesn't mean you should.
:B
But we wanted the frat! You get houses when you're married!
pats....
A frat house. You're... [ no, okay, deep breath. deeeeeep breath. ]
Bokuto-san, this isn't funny.
:BBBB
Yeah! A frat house! It was technically Kuroo's idea but it was mine to get married. All married couples get a house to themselves and they're assigned kids and if we are already married and have the house it'd make it easier!

[ gosh, akaashi. has he explained nothing to you??? ( actually it's very possible he didn't. whoops. )
but then he blinks, staring at akaashi blankly. ]
Akaashi, the tournament started last week- I think. Maybe two weeks? We're already on the semifinals.
