a/n: attempted Halloween hijinks, #krtsk style.
~*~*~
It was Halloween. For fun, Kuroo and Tsuki decided to surprise each other by revealing their costumes at the party. Both were convinced they had the perfect costume. Therein lied the problem…
"I don't know..." Tsuki said, several hours earlier. "I mean, it's not really that creative."
"Have you ever worn that in front of him?" Bokuto asked from the room across the hall. He was going as a vampire.
"Technically, no."
"What do you mean... 'technically?'"
"Just what it sounds like. I haven't worn it all at once."
"Well, now you're wearing all of it at the same time. I don't see the issue."
"Maybe there isn't one, and I'm just nervous," Tsuki said to himself. "As long as he doesn't notice it's missing, I guess."
*Meanwhile, across town*
"Well, it's certainly... different," Akaashi said, hiding a laugh.
"Yeah, well, I couldn't think of anything else."
"Like two peas in a pod," Akaashi muttered to himself. If Kuroo heard it, he didn't let on. Of course, he and Bokuto knew their secret.
"Maybe next year, we can do something more elaborate."
"Like what? Shakespearean characters?" Akaashi asked, only half-serious.
"Yeah, sure. Only I doubt Tsuki would dress up as Juliet," he replied sarcastically.
"You totally would, though."
"Don't make me throw my shoe at you."
*Later at the party*
The plan was to split up, arrive separately, and stay apart for as long as possible. The idea was to surprise each other with their costumes, and also to see if they really did think alike, as they were so often accused of by friends and family alike.
Bokuto and Tsuki arrived first. No one looked twice at Bokuto. Clearly, this wasn't the first time he'd gone as a vampire. However, Tsuki managed to capture everyone's attention. They did double takes, stared, and some rubbed their eyes in disbelief. This wasn't going to be easy.
Akaashi and Kuroo arrived later, and the reactions were identical to Bokuto's and Tsuki's. No one paid much attention to Akaashi, even if he had bloody bite marks on his neck. It was Kuroo who got the stares, disbelieving looks, and double takes.
And then the plan fell apart.
Some guy, dressed as Moses, roared into the crowd, commanding them to part, much like the Red Sea.
The crowd responded with alacrity, splitting into two parts, leaving a wide path from Kuroo to Tsuki.
There was only silence for several minutes.
Until they both started laughing.
Tsuki had borrowed Kuroo's Nekoma home uniform and jacket. Kuroo was wearing Tsuki's Karasuno home uniform, jacket, and even wore knee pads.
They weren't really that surprised.
They did think alike.
They were declared the most creatively un-creative costumed pair that night.
