a/n: in which Tsuki ruins Kuroo's surprise inadvertently. #krtsk

~*~*~

“What... is that?" Tendo asks as he points at Kuroo's ... creation.
"Chocolate cupcake," Kuroo muttered.
"Chocolate cupcake," Tendo repeats, looking quite amused.
Kuroo squints. "So, I'm not good at baking. That's why I'm here."
Tendo laughs. "Alright. Let's get started."

Kuroo takes his baking lesson seriously, following all Tendo's directions perfectly. While they wait for the final result to come out of the oven, Kuroo sees Tendo's curious expression.

"It's for Tsuki."
"I'd guessed that much," Tendo replied. "But, why now?"
"Uhhh... Valentine's Day?"
"Again, why now? You've been together for a few years, right? I'm only guessing this is the very first attempt at giving him chocolate."
"Not the first attempt at giving. First at making. Big difference."
"A diversion. Nice try. Answer the question."

Kuroo knew Tendo was enjoying the fuck out of watching him squirm. The man had a sadistic way of teasing people relentlessly, but somehow making it seem rather harmless. Still, it didn't negate the fact that he needed to answer the question, or suffer more teasing.

"I'm going to ask him to marry me," he finally grumbled. He'd only just told Bokuto and Akaashi the other day. Now, Tendo knew it, too, and he wasn't sure the man could keep a secret.
"Congratulations!" Tendo cheered. "Also, about damned time."
"Yeah, well, thanks."

The cupcake came out perfectly, and Kuroo did his best at decorating it. While he thought it looked like the perfect train wreck, Tendo assured him it was fine. They boxed it up, and Kuroo tried to pay, but Tendo just shoved him out the door.

"Consider it a wedding present!"
"Thanks, man!" Kuroo yelled as he ran to catch the bus. He had a few hours before meeting Tsuki, and he had to get ready.

Meanwhile: Tendo went back inside to find a particular blonde standing all teary-eyed and smiling and flustered, in the middle of his empty restaurant.

*later that evening*

"You're not surprised?" Kuroo asked, maybe just a little bit disappointed.
Tsuki shook his head. "I already knew."
"How, though? Was it Tendo? It was Tendo, wasn't it?"
"Yes. And no."
"ARGH!! I shouldn't have told him!! Wait. Now, I'm confused."

Tsuki hands him a white box, tied with a gold ribbon, identical to the one Kuroo handed him. 'Tendo's Confectionary' was in swirly cursive across both boxes. Inside each box was a chocolate cupcake, decorated in perfect train wreck fashion.

"I was there. For the same reason."
