[Volleyball/Red] Picking Myself Up from the Mud

[The full story is complete and ready to read]

The day I first met Akaashi Keiji, I ate twelve lantern skewers and eight grilled chicken breasts at an izakaya, then drank three large beers.

When I came out of the bathroom after throwing up until the world spun, I ran into someone wearing tasteful, thin-framed glasses. He looked at me with some concern, then offered me a clean handkerchief and asked softly, "Are you all right?"

It was a day when I was utterly flustered and miserable, convinced my life was over.

A few notes:

1. The main story is in third person, paired with Kuroo, one-on-one.

2. The story takes place when they are all adults.

3. Apologies for any out-of-character moments.
