"Kei where's Dino, we need to put him in the car so we can set off." You called from the bedroom, packing your things into a suitcase.

"He's here y/n, chill okay." He said to you walking into the bedroom with the large Labrador following on from behind. "That's great, awesome even. But are you gonna help me pack these bags."

"I already packed mine," Kei pointed at the suitcase on the side of the bed. "You should've let me do it last night."

"Ugh whatever , just help me bro."

"Nope."

"Why."

"You called me bro, this is your punishment."

"Damn who taught you to be this difficult." You whined.

"It was you shortcake..."

"Shut up and get out." You threw a pillow at his face but he ended up catching it and tossing it to the floor. He walked towards you and placed a kiss on your forehead. "I love you." He whispered, before taking a hold of the clothes on the bed and folding them neatly.

Once you finished packing, Kei asked "which one of these suitcases are you leaving at my apartment?"

"I'm not sure , it will come to me once I get there. Are we setting off now?" You questioned, Kei nodded. "Yes we are. I've already put all our suitcases in the car."

"What about Dino, how are we getting that heavy ass dog into the car. He's massive." You chuckled.

"He'll get in himself , my dog isn't an idiot." He tutted.

"Sure , sure." You said.

"Also Dino isn't staying at the apartment, he's staying at my mum's." Kei told you. "How come?" You asked.

"She offered too since no dogs are allowed in the complex ," Kei explained as Dino jumped in to his section of the boot.

"So are Yams and Hitoka staying with us?" You asked. Kei chuckled, "they are lucky we are even picking them up since I said no to Mei and Akiteru. They can stay with us for half a day at most, but we are there last resort. Abs I mean LAST resort." Kei firmly stated as he braked infront of their apartment.

Yachi and Yamaguchi got into the car and thanked Kei for the ride he was giving them.

You turned round to look at them both, "how are you guys doing ?" They both smiled at you and said , "good."

"Good as in, we're finally in a relationship good?" You asked. "Or good as in we're just a bunch of pussies who are too scared to make the first move good." Kei chimed in.

"Good as in none of your fucking business." Yamaguchi said shaking his head. "Just drive Tsukishima."

You looked at Yachi who giggling to herself , before turning back around to face the front.

"So did you guys book a hotel?" Kei asked, Yachi hummed, "yeah we didn't want to be an inconvenience to you guys. Plus Yamaguchi's mum wants us over for a few days."

"Ahhh okay , that's nice to know." You said, whilst pulling out your phone.

Hitoka

You: how long have you been in a relationship with that man

Hitoka: what do you mean?

How did you even find out

You: I'm no idiot babe

'His mum wants us over'

'We've booked a hotel?'

Hitoka: fine you caught us, we aren't together yet though.

We're just getting to know each other

You: youve known each other for like what 8 years ? What do you bloody mean!

Hitoka: I'll tell you about it later, he's looking at me .

You turned around and glared at Yachi.

"Shortcake," Kei said whilst you were glaring.

"Hmm," you hummed still glaring at Yachi. "Shortcake." He said once again, "what's up babe?" You replied.

"What the fuck are you doing," you felt him grab your thigh with his hand causing you to turn around.

"What's up?" You asked.

"Why do you keep glaring at the little one."

"No reason, are we heading to your mums first?" You asked.

"Yeah she misses you, and so does my dad." He said. You smiled, "you're telling me your scary ass father doesn't hate me." Kei shook his head, "he loves you. In all honesty he prefers you over Mei. Oh also my mum asked if we can FaceTime your parents at dinner tonight. She wants to speak to your mum and dad."

"I swear I gave her there numbers ?" You wondered. "You did, but she wants us to be there too." He explained.

"Ahh okay that's cool, yeah let's do that. Do you know what time Mei and Akiteru are coming ?"

"They are probably already there, they wanted to set off whilst Misaki was asleep so she didn't make noise in the car ride. Plus they probably just want to dump her with my mum so they can have some alone time.

"Whatever they do, she's not staying with us." You say. Kei nodded in agreement, " I love her but that baby is way too noisy. She deffos takes after her mother."

"Kei that was foul." You gasp, "but I see no lie." You both laughed at each other.

"What's so funny?" Yamaguchi asked.

"Nothing bro," Kei answered. "We have arrived though."

Everyone got out of the car, including Dino and you waved goodbye to Yachi and Yams who had began setting off to Yamaguchi's place round the corner.

You knocked on the door and you were greeted by a cheerful Mei and Tsukishima's mum.

"Hi mum, hi Mei." You exclaimed going into hug them. "Y/n, I've missed you. You need to visit more often, and so do you mister." She said bopping Kei on the head.

"Sorry ma, been busy." He said.

"Sure sure, where's the dog," she said looking behind Kei to find Dino.

"Ahhh Daniel come here," she said calling him over.

"His name is Dino-" Kei started , before his mother interrupted him. "No way I'm letting my baby be called Dino. He needs a full government name Kei. You're practically abusing the poor dog."

You giggled at Kei and his mother's antics before walking into the house with Mei. "How have you been doing?" She asked.

"Great how about you and the baby," you asked. "One thing for sure, I miss being able to have a full good nights sleep." She giggled , "I do love being a mother though it's great. When will you and Kei-"

"No." You stated. "Just no thanks."

"I didn't even say anything." Mei whined.

"Yeah, keep it that way." You laughed.

———-

Everyone was seated at the dining table, your phone placed on the fire place so your parents could see everyone. The dinner was wonderful, your mum and Kei's mum chatted as if they were the only ones in the room. Their friendship was so iconic.

From the call you found out that your parents would be coming to Japan next week and that they are staying with Mr and Mrs Tsukishima. You were kind of glad they weren't staying with you and Kei as it would of just made everything so awkward.

As you were about to leave , Mei caught you and pulled you into a corner.

"Let's get our nails done tomorrow, okay!" She exclaimed. You nodded, "sure I don't mind. Do you know a place?" Mei smiled, "of course I do. See you tomorrow babe."

You thought nothing of Mei randomly asking you to get your nails done. In fact you shrugged it off as if it was nothing.

"Kei," you said as he was driving back to his apartment. "Mei asked me to get my nails done, what colour should I do?"

Tsukishima smirked, "she did hmm? Go with brown and white babe, you will look cute."

"Brown with white swirls?" You asked. He shook his head , "no white with brown swirls." He released one of his hands from the wheel and placed it on the back of your seat. His other hand firmly gripping the wheel as he parked into a space.

"Okay, I'll do that." You said, not knowing what Kei really had in store for you...
