old man tsukki observing he's having early signs of dementia and so he exerts the effort to write every little detail in a diary that he hides under his pillow.
it was too late when kuroo and shiro learned about the diagnosis, and all they had left was a diary long forgotten.
no i won't shut up about lookup tsukki because look at him. it looks like he's saying "does it look like i care?" and in the most polite manner possible
#krtsk
— single dad kuroo, librarian tsukishima, age gap (40 y.o. kr, 25 y.o. tsk), where
Kei was offered to tutor Kuroo’s daughter and for the first few weeks, they were okay. Yua was nowhere near stubborn and thus she was quick to catch up on lessons.
tsukki has this "idol effect" where just flashing a bright smile causes everyone around him to do something unimaginable, because tsukki smiling is such a rare occurrence that almost anyone would do anything to see him smile again.
#krtsk
“Kei, I love you.”
“Fuhaha.”
“Eh? Don’t laugh? Do I have to say it three times to get your attention?”
“Oh, you silly watermelon. You always have my attention.”
“Then say it back!”
“Needy, are we?”
BUT please imagine just how happy div. 1 tsukishima kei is: monster blocker, has a monster of a husband, loves monsters and finds their fossils for a living; holy fuck
#krtsk
Whenever Kei’s hands began to tremble, it was a telltale sign that he was feeling distress. Only Tetsurou could see through his nonchalant façade.
the krtsk thought of the day is:
tetsurou never shared it to kei, but it's become an unconscious habit of his to tug the raven's shirt as a way of asking for cuddles at night.
one time, kei pulled on his collar a little too much that he almost got choked to death.

ft. zookeeper tsukki
Something about Kuroo frequenting the zoo just to visit the kitten cove and play with the cats inside for hours at a time whenever he’s feeling down.

"kei, my moonshine, the love of my life," tetsurou had his brows furrowed deep, looking at the large box kei just put on their coffee table. "my baby boo, my honey bunch, my sweetie pie—what is this?"

single parent au: nightmare
Tetsurou woke up in a gasp, his heart pounding as he swiftly sat up. He was surrounded by darkness, and it didn’t help that he felt miserable the moment he opened his eyes.
#krtsk
tsukki noticed early on that kuroo has the tendency to massage the blonde's hands but he never pointed it out because it seemed like an unconscious act.
Nakamura’s favourite line from the movie is Kuroo and Tsukki’s scene!
“How’s volleyball for you lately?”
“Thanks to you, once in a blue moon, it’s fun.”
just soft
#krtsk
where kuroo doesn't get enough sleep due to work and tends to accidentally sleep on tsukki's shoulder whenever they get the chance to be at home together.
once kuroo falls asleep, tsukki tries his best to carefully move him so he'd be sleeping on tsukki's lap.
tsukki would get a cat, not because he'd like a companion, but because it'd serve as a nasty alarm clock if ever he droops during work.
kuroo would ask, "why not buy an alarm clock instead?"
tsukki, with a cat smacking his cheek: "but she's cute and i can forgive her."
While Kei was not a fan of surprises, it was a yearly occasion of always anticipating what stunt his father-daughter duo would do for father's day.
It started with burnt cakes and sloppy greetings written in frosting. From cards to appeasing his sweet tooth.
#krtsk
Kei's first experience in consuming alcohol was with Tetsurou, who was already his boyfriend at the time.
The raven did try to act cool, to drink as many shots as possible while Kei tested his limits to an extent. And sure, maybe Tetsurou had more tolerance for alcohol,
#krtsk
single parent au — pumpkin candy
“Papa.”
“Mmm?”
“I don’t want this candy.”
Shiro was sorting out the candies she received after a whole day of trick or treating.
..which was two pumpkin baskets full (Kei had to buy another basket on a whim).
shiro broke down upon reading his entries: from day-to-day entries about what he did and what he felt, until it slowly devolved into three reminders.
"i am kuroo kei, father and husband."
"i love shiro and tetsurou no matter what."
"i will never forget them. i should never."

day 3: college au
kuroo tetsurou wasn't one to cry, unlike many other seniors. he knew how to manage his tasks and prioritize them, even if it meant doing it on his own.
but today was a different day. it felt like opposite day.
tsukki being an insomniac is near impossible. that guy juggles between museum work, volleyball, and maybe grad school and he'd still have a consistent sleep schedule
then you have akaashi who's grown used to sleeping on the couch so he has easier access to his computer
and tsukki would always say, "it fits us very well."
but it was the first time tsukki held kuroo's cheeks, staring hard into him, mumbling. "i just remembered that i love you, very much."
...
for the first time, kuroo's resolve to not cry broke that day.
#osatsk
#osatsukki
kei was a picky eater, that was a known fact. his appetite was also non-existent, another known fact.
so imagine his friends' surprise when kei looked chubby around the face despite having his body muscled up.
#krtsk
mafia?
"you run your mouth again and see what happens."
kuroo held tsukishima by the chin tightly, the blonde's cheeks squished by his hold, as the raven inched it upward.
while shiro struggled to take care of his papa, kuroo strived to be by his side for as long as he could. he had a vow to keep, you know.
and every single day, he bore witness to the eyes that gradually lost their color, the dullness a reflection to a life slowly losing its hold.
#bktsk
because i miss them
tsukishima kei: a blonde with curly ends, whose frown could go as deep as the mariana trench;
a guy who's currently standing in the middle of wherever he is at the mall, lost.
kuroo calling their cat "moonshine" was a grave mistake because it'd mean seeing tsukki pout every time he realizes he's not the moonshine kuroo was referring to.
it wasn't the first time that kuroo recounted their tale — from high school, to his first meeting with shiro, to the future that was already set in stone.
it wasn't the first time kuroo said, "do you remember this song? this played at our wedding. kinda sweet, no?"
#krtsk
single parent au — homework
"Papa!"
Kei had just pulled a tray of freshly baked cookies out of the oven when their apartment door opened, revealing his Snowdrop and her Papa Kuro.

day 5: feelings/realization + single parent au
“Uncle Kuro?”
“Mn? What is it, Starlight?”
“What present will you give Papa?”
“Eh? Present? What for?”
#krtsk
single parent au — curry
“Snowdrop, what would you like for dinner?”
The five year-old girl looked at his father in curiosity. Her smile widened in excitement as she babbled a coherent, “Curry!”
kuroo tries to remedy that through the only solution he could think of: music.
their song would bounce off the silent walls, their melody the only tune that they could hear.
until one day, kuroo entered the room, shocked to see tsukki by his reading corner.
"...kuroo-san?" his voice was a pitch higher, or so it attempted to be. "you're kuroo-san."
kuroo fought away the tears with a lip-bitten smile. "yes, that's me. come back to bed, don't you have a lot of questions to ask me?"
#KrtskWeek2022
day 2: mutual pining; coffee shop
college was hell. tsukki knew that well enough, studying with a sense of dread and fear he might forget a lesson.
volleyball was a struggle for him, too. he couldn't seem to balance it. at some point, he wanted to stop.
#krtsk
tetsurou planned his and kei's sixth anniversary date in his head.
first step: enter their apartment whilst carrying a box of kei's favorite dessert and a frog plush.
#bktsk
riding together on a motorcycle, tsukki hugging bokuto from the waist. then bokuto uses one hand to move tsukki's hand to his chest.
tsukki's just ??? but he proceeds to hold onto bokuto's large chest anyway 😭

day 8: free day!!
tsukishima kei loves his job at the museum. he gets to roam the halls each day, rambling about both the important and interesting.
although he looks far from being sociable, the man has this charm that gets their attention.
#krtsk
where tsukki keeps forgetting to roll up his sleeves when washing the dishes so it gets wet most of the time—
until one day, kuroo just comes up from behind and suddenly folds tsukki's sleeves neatly so it wouldn't fall.

day 4: soulmates; royal (just a hint) au
tsukishima didn't believe in the red string, reincarnation, or even the idea of having a soulmate. he wasn't a romantic to believe in them. and yet, he's been having dreams about it.
tell me ur absolute favorite ship ever. the one u would go to hell and back for, u would defend them no matter what. the ship that u claim as ur own and u think about them a lot.
i think about bokutsukki handling kids together with bokuto teaching kids how to play volleyball and tsukki being the interactive cool teacher that discusses the history of japanese volleyball (+ a brief discussion on the monster generation as per kuroo's request)

"kei, bubba.."
kei looked at osamu in curiosity, suppressing his smile. he could see how the brunette was agitated. "what's wrong, 'samu?"
#krtsk
where they got matching tattoos except kei finds out that one of their common friends also have the same exact half of the tattoo he has and everything clicks right then and there; kei wasn't the first and he will never be.

and subtle touches as they still learn intimacy with each other. tsukki learning to feel comfortable as he leans against kuroo's chest when the latter holds him by the waist; kuroo longing for tsukki's cold hands against his warm cheeks.

At a young age, Tsukishima Kei has despised love. He believes it’s a waste of time and trust, solely because he’s been wasting them a lot.
From his older brother to various admirers—Kei disliked people who would eventually leave him empty.
i think about fem kuroo eating fem tsukki out and when tsukki's about to move away instinctively, kuroo grips on those large thighs and says, "why're you movin, darlin'? i'm not done."
#osaakatsukki
kei loved working on projects alone. solo. he didn't have to worry about partners or groupmates lagging behind or not doing their part. all he had to worry about was the impending deadlines.
#bakt
akaashi gets cooking lessons from osamu, tendou teaches tsukki how to make sweets and baked goods.
meanwhile bokuroo gets spoiled by them with good homemade meals and gorgeous desserts.
tsukki falling asleep while on the shinkansen back to sendai and kuroo guides his head to his shoulder so the blonde can sleep comfortably.
kuroo also cannot help but pull out his phone and take a selfie because, as his defense, "my moonshine looked adorable! how could i not?"
tsukki denies it to himself at first that he has a crush on a senpai — and noya, of all people — but he doesn't realize that he doesn't complain or react violently that much whenever noya smothers him with his theatrics.
thinking about drunk kei — he'd be the most chaotic person ever, giggling and breaking bottles because he has no damn clue where his glasses are.
insists that he isn't drunk, but quickly holds onto something and he'd laugh. "okay, maybe i am drunk."
#krtsk
single parent au where kei woke up to a bunch of flowers and mother's day cards.
he was about to wonder where his two rascals were until they burst into the room with a cake and sang "happy mother's day!" in the tune of happy birthday.
#osatsk
#osatsukki
it was a part of osamu's routine to give away the batches of food they were made to do every day. whether it'd be delicacies or all sorts of combinations to be put in a bento box—osamu makes sure all the food would go into someone's stomach for the night.
#krtsk
where tetsurou stays up with kei, who has a habit of doing his school work during the night.
most of the time, kei feels guilty for keeping his boyfriend up until the crack of dawn. he would always whisper as his keyboard clacked, "you should go to bed, tetsu."
#krtsk
angst
kuroo tetsurou dislikes having regrets in life. if he decides on one thing, then there's no need to have a second thought. he would think carefully before making a decision, and he'd like to believe it's worth it.
