[Bokuto smiles widely at him-]

Hmmmm I don't knooow. I saw you marathon some documentaries and eat few pieces of cake once.

[midblock]

Key word: a few. You finished that whole ice cream cake once.

[ tsukishima remembers this with slight disgust. ]

[horned_owl]

Yes. But I was hungover and craving something sweet. I have no clue why.

[He felt like a pregnant woman at one point.]

You can eat this one all by yourself.

[midblock]

I might, but I'm not going to do it in one sitting. Unlike a certain glutton I know.

[ the bus comes to a stop in front of the home depot. tsukishima hustles them off and inside before bokuto can distract him, and focuses on getting them to the department in the store where they can find a replacement door. ]

[horned_owl]

Yes, well, cravings are cravings. [Bokuto crossed his hands and assumed his all-too-famous pouting position. The cake was too good then, not too sweet, he liked it, so it was gone really fast.

But he lets Tsukishima shuffle them off the bus once they arrive at the department. He easily forgets the 'cake' debate as they start looking for the door.] So, we're looking for plain slab of wood to call it a door, right?

[midblock]

They sell real doors.

[ it's a big enough hardware store that tsukishima is fairly sure of it. and he points to a sign further down the aisle—interior furnishings, and beneath that, 'doors'. ]

I still have the screwdriver set, so we can install it ourselves.

[horned_owl]

Blank door is slab of wood. Can't convince me otherwise.

[He sulkily stares at the doors. The ones that he likes are really expensive and he can't help himself but grumble under his breath.]

Yeah... you know to do a lot of things. I just make mess...

[There are more grumbles, crossed arms and Bokuto wandering off down the isle.]

[midblock]

It's not like you can't learn.

[ bokuto may not be the smartest person in the world, but he can totally learn. tsukishima knows that, but he doesn't have akaashi's skill of conveying this to him and making him feel better. ]

[horned_owl]

Yeah, maybe...

[He stops in front of the door that look almost exactly like theirs. Minus the mold, scratches at the bottom and huge hole in the middle. He tilts his head-]

This one looks similar.

[midblock]

Mm-hm.

[ tsukishima checks the price—not cheap, but still affordable at $40. ]

Let's get it. I want to have it set up before dinnertime.

[horned_owl]

[That was way cheaper than what Bokuto expected actually.]

I thought it would be more expensive... wait, where's the sales person? How do we actually get the door home? We came here by the bus.

[Mental note- start collecting money for a cheap car because this is torture.]

[midblock]

...we might just have to carry it.

[ by which he means: bokuto will have to carry it, because he's just so fragile. tsukishima claps a hand on his shoulder. ]

It'll be good weight training.

[horned_owl]

What!?

[He can't be serious!]

I mean, I don't mind carrying it, [he looked more stupid in some other situations,] But I don't think they'll let us on the bus with the door.

[midblock]

[ sigh. ]

Probably not, huh...

[ he frowns at the door. ]

What about calling a ride service?

[horned_owl]

Sure but...

[Bokuto didn't want them to spend more money on this, he feels guilty, but they live too far away for him to carry it on his back.]

... but doesn't this mall have their delivery service? I mean, they always seem to deliver big stuff like this.

[midblock]

[ that's true. tsukishima takes a moment before replying, half because he is thinking about it and half because bokuto thinking things through fully with reason is a little surprising.

(even tsukishima knows that's a mean thought, but bokuto-san is used to it, isn't he.) ]

Go ask at the desk. I'm going to look and see if they have any better replacement doors.

[ giving instructions to his senpai, oops. ]

[horned_owl]

[Bokuto's whole attention is on the problem they have. And they have the problem because of him, so he's determined to fix it and not annoy Tsukishima even more in the process.]

Right! I'll be right back!

[He jogs off towards the desk to ask about the delivery. He's back after few minutes, carrying a "Welcome Home" hanging sign, owl shaped. Yeah, he can't resist.]

They said they do it, but that they will deliver it tomorrow because they are all booked today. [He holds up the sign-] Look what I found! Isn't it cute?

[midblock]

[ tsukishima manages to find another door that's almost identical, but slightly lighter in color and a bit cheaper. It'll be bokuto's purchase, but tsukishima doesn't want to make it worse since he thinks he's learned his lesson by now.

...but he hasn't learned about the owl thing, it seems. tsukishima looks at the sign and just sighs. ]

Give them this number to deliver. And put that back.

[ it is a little cute, though tsukishima wouldn't admit it. ]

[horned_owl]

[He will never learn about owl thing. Owl is his spirit animal, he can't fight it.]

Hey, hey, we can find crow one if you're jealous, [Bokuto grins and pokes Tsukishima's shoulder. He sighs and looks at the door welcome,] I guess I'll buy it next time.

[When he doesn't have to buy a fucking door. He returns to the salesman and gives him the number of the door they want, goes to cashier to pay and then returns to Tsukishima.]

All done. They'll come tomorrow to deliver it.

[midblock]

I don't really want a crow one either...

[ but as bokuto has put it back, tsukishima lets it go. he waits for bokuto to place the order before they set out. ]

Let's head home.

[horned_owl]

Home, home... [Bokuto says in sing song voice. He's back in his happy mood. The door will be replaced and they will have dinner now. Everything's good.

!!]

Hey! What do you say we go surprise visit Kuroo?! He should be playing at his uni right now! We have time to kill. [Also vollies! Maybe he'll be able to sneak in and slam a few against his all-time rival.]

[midblock]

What about dinner?

[ tsukishima wouldn't mind going to meet kuroo, but he's a bit tired, really, and bokuto only gets louder when in contact with the other senpai. ]

[horned_owl]

Oh? You're hungry? Yeah, let's go home then, that's more important.

[It's more important because Tsukishima doesn't expresses need for food very often. So when he does, it meas he's actually really hungry.

Or maybe he just wants the cake.]

[midblock]

We can hang out with him next weekend, as long as you don't break our new door.

[ hopefully. tsukishima nods as they get back on the bus.

...to be honest, he's pretty excited about that cake. ]

[horned_owl]

I promise, no more breaking the door! If I try, you are allowed to knock me out.

[Breaking stuff around the apartment deserves a good knock out. They aren't rich to replace stuff every time they break something.

...cake is always a good reason to go home.]
