Having a Sunday evening
to himself felt strange.

Normally Kuroo would be over
and cuddling him to death while
they'd watch a movie or Kenma
would play something
on his Switch.

And he didn't like to admit it but
he had gotten so used to the older's
presence on the weekends,
especially after the baby news,
that he felt a bit lonely now that
Kuroo was out with Bokuto.

There was this bad feeling lingering
in the pit of his stomach too as if
something bad was about to
happen but he just didn't know
what to do about it.

He trusted Kuroo,
it'd be just fine and they'd
see each other in the morning
again to go to school together.

Kenma sighed heavily as he
readjusted his cat plushie in his
arms and placed his Switch aside
after losing another round again.

As long as he had this bad feeling,
he just couldn't concentrate.

And just when he was about to
get a snack refill, his phone
suddenly started buzzing.

‘Kuroo is calling..’

“Kuroo?”

“Hey kitten~
My little kitten..
So gorgeous and pretty and so..
so gorgeous.”

Kuroo giggled on the other side
before he hiccuped, making
Kenma frown.

“Kuroo, did you drink?
Where's Bokuto?”

“You know a Bokuto?
That's funny.. My friend's
name is Bokuto too. Such a co..
coincidence! Right?”

Kenma breathed in heavily as he
tried to stay calm and thought
about what to ask next that might
give him an actual answer of
what was going on.

“Kitten~
You're so pretty!
I really like how you look
pregnant and I.. Have you
ever wondered what
your mouth tastes like?”

“Kuroo, where are you?
Where's Bokuto? Is he next to you?”

“No, he.. He went to get another
drink for us but I just missed you
sooo much! You and our baby and
your pretty eyes and..
And our baby too!”

Who would have guessed that
going out with Bokuto would
result in complete mayhem?

If Kenma had known beforehand
that the two were going to drink,
he'd have at least tried to protest.

It wasn't like he'd forbid Kuroo
any fun, he wouldn't have stopped
him from going either because he
was not in the place to do
something like that.

But he'd have kindly reminded
him to be careful.

It wasn't a secret that Bokuto
liked to go all in and Kuroo
wasn't used to any form of
alcohol consumption.

It was his first time after all.

“Do you know where you are?
I'll pick you up. Tomorrow is school
day, I guess you forgot about that.”

“Kitten, are you mad at me?
Oh no, I made my kitten upset.
I-is the baby upset too now?
I'm such an idiot, you're going

to break up with me a-and..”

And there goes the water works.

If it wasn't for the general situation,
Kenma would have definitely found
his boyfriend's gibberish hilarious
and he'd have definitely
recorded it for later.

But right now his head was filled
with worry and worry only.

“I'm not breaking up with you
and baby's perfectly happy, just
missing their daddy very much.”

“R-really?”

Kuroo sniffled softly but had
immediately calmed quite a bit.

That was Kenma's chance to get
the ravenette to want to go home.

“Yeah, so much. I think you
should come home. Tell me
where you are and I'll pick
you up, then you'll see
our baby faster.”

“Okay.. I think the club's name is..
Plum baby? Or peach baby?
No, it's cherry baby!”

“Alright. Please just stay
exactly where you are until I
call you again. Maybe ask for
a bottle of water if you can.
But no wandering around!
And keep your phone on
maximum noise level!”

“Yes, sir!”

Kenma sighed as he tried to calm
his racing heart before he got up
to get changed and ready to rescue
his drunk boyfriend.

“Your dad is so stupid,
I really want to slap him
right now. But I'm not going
to do that, violence is never
a solution. Right, baby?”

But baby didn't budge as always,
they were probably already
sleeping anyway.

The subway fortunately wasn't
as crowded as during weekdays
at such an hour, this way Kenma
didn't have to fear getting a panic
attack too from all the people
squished in the train.

But he really wished that he
had Bokuto's boyfriend's number
so he could get some support,
Bokuto was still there somewhere
too and most likely just as drunk,
who knew?

The ride to the club was around
half an hour long plus a five
minute walk and just when
Kenma passed a few other
guys who had probably just
left the club, he realized that
this might get a lot harder
than expected.

Maybe Kuroo had listened to him,
had gotten some water and had
sobered up at least a little bit by

now but if he hadn't, Kenma
couldn't possibly drag the
ravenette to the train station.

He was much taller and therefore
heavier than him and Kenma was
not going to try it out when he
was pregnant.

“Kuroo? Can you hear me?
I'm in front of the club waiting
for you. Is Bokuto with you?”

“Hey, kitten~
Bokuto is here, his boyfriend
will pick him up too because he
lost his shoe and threw up in
the sink.. At least I hope he
managed to get there..”

And just when the blonde turned
his gaze to the side, his eyes fell onto
a rather unhappy looking Akaashi.

“Alright, try to come outside
without hurting yourself.
That's enough for now.”

Kenma sighed as he ended the
call and waved shortly at Akaashi
who only silently agreed with
everything the blonde's look
was saying.

“Do I want to know why Bokuto
called me saying he so badly
wants a baby too?”

Of course Kuroo wouldn't be
able to keep his mouth shut
when he was drunk.

“Long story for a different day,
let's just try to get these idiots
home somehow.”

“I just hope Bokuto won't
puke in the subway.”

“Thank you, now I have one more
worst case scenario on my list.”

But Akaashi only wordlessly took
a pair of shoes out of the plastic
bag he was carrying and handed
the empty bag to Kenma.

“Just in case. I have one
more for Bokuto.”

“Thanks. This is the last time
I'm letting him spend an evening
with Bokuto alone.”

“I really hoped Kuroo would
remind him to be a little
more self-controlled.”

But the two had to interrupt
their little chit-chat when their
quite drunk boyfriends staggered
out of the club, one leaning more
against the other that it was only
a matter of minutes until they'd
probably crash on the floor together.

“Akaashi! Baby!”

“Kitten!”

But the two immediately became
dead silent when their boyfriends
were staring at them with raging eyes.

“I don't want to hear anything
from you unless it's you telling
me in time that you need to puke.
Come on, stupid. Bye, Kenma!”

Akaashi waved shortly at the
pudding head before he handed
his boyfriend the shoes and gave
him a slap on the back of his head,
earning a whine.

But Kenma was already busy
trying to handle his emotional
and clingy boyfriend who had
immediately taken the opportunity
to drop to his knees just so he
could press his whole face against
the younger's clothed tummy.

“I missed you so much, I swear.
Did you miss daddy too, baby?
Yeah? I know, I know..
And I missed your papa,
he's so cool and pretty and-”

“Kuroo.”

The ravenette looked up with
a pout and glossy eyes as he
tightened his hold protectively
around Kenma's waist.

“Get up, we're going home.”

“But kitten-”

“Now. I should be in bed and resting,
right? It's after baby's bedtime too.”

Oh how great it was to have
the perfect reason to blackmail
Kuroo growing under his heart.

“Right! Good night, baby.
I love you! So so much!

And your papa-”

“Now.”

Kenma's tone was getting scarier
so the ravenette only pressed a
quick kiss on his boyfriend's tummy
before he got up and gave the
blonde an awkward thumbs up.

Truth to be told,
Kenma couldn't imagine
anything worse than his boyfriend
being so overly and obviously
affectionate to their child in the
middle of the sidewalk where
everyone could watch them.

Everyone was watching them,
staring at them with curious eyes
as to why Kuroo was literally
kneeling on the cold stone floor
to hug Kenma's midsection.

This would for sure replace
his number one social
anxiety nightmare.

But on the other hand it did
something to his heart to see
Tetsuro so fixated on their baby.

It was the first time Kuroo had
confessed his love for their child so
directly to their mini human bean.

Children and drunk people
never lied, right?

“I'm sorry..”

“Hm?”

Kenma looked surprised at his
boyfriend as they slowly made
their way to the subway station,
the younger's hands tightly holding
onto Kuroo's arm to make sure he
wouldn't stumble over his
own feet and fall.

“I think I did something stupid
and you'll be mad at me tomorrow..”

The ravenette pouted and teared
up when his eyes met Kenma's.

Who would have thought that
drunk Kuroo would turn out to
be an emotional cry baby?

“I'm already a bit mad.
But you'd make me very happy
if we arrived home in half an hour,
okay? So focus on that for now.”

“Okay..”

Once they were finally in the
subway, Kuroo immediately fell
asleep and Kenma was honestly
glad about that.

This way his boyfriend wouldn't
create another scene and
hopefully not throw up either.

The blonde has received enough
stranger's attention earlier.

Waking Tetsuro from his drunk
sleep was a different story though.

“Kuroo..”

But the ravenette didn't budge,
not even when his boyfriend
shook his arm lightly.

“Kuroo, come on.
Wake up, we need to get
off the train.”

Kenma tried again, this time
a bit louder as he squeezed
the older's arm.

And just when the pudding
head could feel a stress headache
developing, Tetsuro finally
stretched his legs out with a
groan and blinked his eyes open.

“Kitten..”

“Get up, we need to get out.”

“Huh?”

Kuroo tilted his head in confusion,
eyes squinched because of
the bright light.

“We need to get out on the
next stop. So get up please.”

Kenma stood up and reached
both his hands out to grab his
boyfriend's hands to pull him up
with all his might but had to use
his whole body to support Kuroo
when the ravenette suddenly
leant fully on him.

To the blonde it seemed like
some sort of miracle when they
finally reached the front door of
the older's house and he couldn't
help but exhale in huge relief
when Kuroo finally laid in his
bed, deep asleep with a bottle
of water and pain killers
resting on his bedside table.

And a not so happy note
from his boyfriend.
