Summary
They almost chose each other once, and that “almost” follows them into adulthood.
After Nationals, Kuroo Tetsurō and Tsukishima Kei walk away from something they never name.
Years later, success drags them back into the same orbit: Kei rising with the Sendai Frogs, Kuroo climbing the JVA ranks.
One reckless night cracks the distance they built. Proximity turns denial into a dangerous game: professional by day, emotionally irresponsible by night.
They make rules, they break them, and they keep pretending the unfinished doesn’t matter.

Summary
Kuroo didn’t know much in this life, but he knew survival. He knew what killed a man. More often than carelessness, it was kindness.
That was the first cruel lesson this hellscape had taught him: look out for yourself, and your own. Never stick your neck out for a stranger. Never stop to offer directions. Never share resources. Never tell the truth.
To live honestly and righteously, was to perish foolishly.
I don’t know why I saved him. I should’ve just let him die.
The world has long ended, yet Kuroo endures. For atonement of a past sin, and for Tsukishima Kei.Series

Summary
After over six years of knowing each other and three years of close friendship, Kuroo asks Kei if he's going to start dating around now that he's graduated from university. Kei, drunk, confesses that he's never even kissed someone, much less dated. He says he'll embarrass himself.
Kuroo, ever the altruist, offers to teach him how to kiss. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

Summary
Kei reaches for Cat’s belt and unbuckles the clasp, trying to fight down a sudden and unwelcome onset of nerves. It’s just a blowjob. His technique doesn’t matter — the only aim here is increasing Cat’s heart rate until he burns off the paralytic.
Actually, he wishes he hadn’t thought that. A man’s life has never depended on his skills at oral sex before.
Kei is a ninja of Waterfall and will serve the Mission as commanded, even in this new era of peace after the War. It just sucks that this particular mission involves chasing the legacy of a psychopath a decade dead deep into foreign territory with two black ops specialists hovering over his shoulder. Kei just wants to get in, get out, and get home alive to bury himself back in the obscurity he deserves.
But old sins cast long shadows, and when the mission goes wrong Kei quickly finds that sooner or later even the darkest secrets come to light.
His past is haunting him. And it will let nothing stand in its way.

Summary
With Kuroo, there was no clarity. He simply was. And his attitude put Kei on edge, grating against his professional pride as a point man and architect.
A sequel to my immersion fic.
