Chapter Text
The sound of sneakers against the gym floor and grunts fill up the place as The Sendai Frogs practice for their upcoming championship that is only 10 months away.
This was what Tsukishima enjoyed in his free time even if he acts like he doesn’t enjoy it or his teammates he secretly does and looks forward to it, that’s been his life since high school and now he’s a upcoming senior in university majoring in architecture all the way back in Japan.
Tsukishima had a habit of tuning out people when he’s in practice so when Kuroo and Bokuto skipped their way over to him he wanted to just walk away but he knew they were just going to annoy him so he decides to actually pay attention to what they say.
“Tsuki-dude what are you doing after practice?” Kuroo asks before taking a sip of water
He straightens his glasses and shrugs “Probably gonna rest we don’t have many more days here in America”
“Exactly” Bokuto nudges Tsuki’s side “Which is why we should go partying tonight plus we don’t have practice tomorrow”
“I’m not the party type” Tsukishima gives them both a look before taking a sip of water
Kuroo rolls his eyes while Bokuto lets out a defeated sigh before letting out a dramatic gasp “Okay just hear us out though” Tsukishima gives him a nod telling him to continue “The most you have to be out with us is like 2 hours which you really don’t have to spend with us and it will be chill and then you can enjoy the rest of your night”
Tsukishima thinks about it since it had been a while since he last went out with friends and wouldn’t mind being away from his hotel “Fine” he mutters grabbing his bag as his coach calls them all over
Once plans were officially discussed in a group chat Tsukishima goes home and showers and puts on one of his better going-out outfits which was basically a t-shirt, an undone button up shirt, and some comfortable jeans along with his non-practice sneakers.
When he was done getting ready he sprays some cologne and grabs his phone and wallet before heading out to his car and heading to the club.
Tsukishima wasn’t sure what he was expecting but a line of people definitely wasn’t what he imagined since Bokuto said it would be ‘Laid back’ but nonetheless, he gets out of the car tries to find the end of the line until he was practically jumped on by Bokuto “Hey buddy!”
“Hey” Tsukishima pushes Bokuto off “We should get in line before more people show up”
Bokuto shakes his head dragging Tsukishima to the club “I know a lady so we have VIP passes” And Tsukishima didn’t really believe Bokuto cause he has a habit of just showing up when he’s not invited but he just goes with it as of now
The security guard looks at Bokuto and gives him a nod before letting the two men inside the club where the music was loud and there were bodies everywhere a section of people dancing and a section where there wasn’t much going on but a few people were still standing around.
“You are free to do whatever you want” Bokuto hands Tsukishima a pass before dashing off into the crowd of people
Tsukishima looks at the pass and pockets it before going into the pink and orange colored room where people were barely at, once he actually takes in the area he sees a bunch of stages and poles attached to them and a bar, there were other men in there mainly in suits so Tsukishima felt out of place but it was a lot more quiet in here than the other sections of the club, he decides to head to the bar and grab a drink before sitting down in a slightly closed off booth.
Tsukishima takes a sip of his old fashioned while eyeing the room seeing some girls in different short outfits heading to different parts of the room getting on the stages looking at the crowds of men around them.
The tall blonde didn’t notice the room filling up as he focused his eyes on this one dancer who was wearing a slutty sailor outfit the top navy blue with white and red ruffles but also exposing her breast a decent amount, a pair of white shorts with a thin belt that exposed her ass, white stockings with red bows that matches the handkerchief around her neck, a sailor hat and a pair of navy blue heels and the whole outfit just compliments your her brown skin, she looked out of this world and Tsukishima could not take his eyes off of her.
Most likely sensing something the dancer immediately makes eye contact with Tsukishima as his eyes slowly look up from her body to her face, her cheeks chubby, her lips plump, with the cutest eyes and nose, Tsukishima had to stop looking at her once she looked back at him.
Taking a sip of his drink as other men crowd around the main stage looking like perverted freaks but Tsukishima keeps it all to a minimum not showing any reaction towards any of the women just eyeing the cute sailor.
Y/n’s POV
You make your way over to the pole closest to the guy eyeing him before practicing your routine “Is something wrong?” You asks while stretching your body
“Are you talking to me?” The blonde asks quietly taking in her beauty
“Who else is staring at me like I’ve done something wrong?” You mimic the look the guy was giving you earlier
You could see that tall blonde blush from embarrassment he had no idea his expression was that bland “Sorry that’s just my resting face” he clears his throat sitting down his drink
You give him a small nod before starting your routine, your body pressed against the pole tightly as you carefully spin the outfit causing slight restriction but you continue through and the whole time the blonde male’s eyes never left you and as much as you wanted to focus on the routine and the crowd of horny men around your stage, your eyes seems to fall back on him until one of you look away first.
Your routine lasted for a while mixed with dancing on the pole to, teasing the crowd of men, to just doing whatever makes you the most money, once you were done with your first routine your friend, Celestine brings over your duffle bag for your first round of money in.
You sees a tall figure walk over to you it being the guy from early you stands up straightening your posture before slinging the bag over your shoulder “I liked your routine” His words for some reason made you feel warm
“First time being here?” You asks him looking at the way his eyes never left yours
“Yeah I’ve never been to a club like this?” The male clears his throat “They don’t really have strip clubs where I live”
You take a step closer to him noticing something, making him blush it becoming noticeable on his cheeks “Sendai, Japan” he says softly “I’m here for volleyball training”
“I see” You mutter softly before reaching out to fix his glasses “Sorry they were falling down a little”
“Thank you” The tall blonde gives you a small smile which you found way more cute than you expected “What’s your name?”
You looks away from him for a moment thinking about telling him the truth before speaking “My name is star and yours is?”
“Tsukishima” He smiles holding out a hand hoping she’d take it
You takes his hand shaking it “Nice to meet you Tsukishima”
The rest of the night was mainly you both drinking and having small talk in between your routines but Tsukishima stayed there through each one of them taking in the whole experience, he didn’t know what came over him maybe the alcohol or something else but he couldn’t stop thinking about you when you were right in front of him or when you were away on a break you was all over his mind.
It was a whole new day when your shift was done and it was still dark outside around 2 in the morning, you change out of your costume into some shorts, a t-shirt and some slippers since your feet were genuinely killing you and one you say goodbye to your friends and head out of the changing room into the main one you see Tsukishima was still there drink in his hand as you walks over to him “You’re still here?” You ask him giving him a questionable look
“Yeah you’re really addicting to watch” Tsukishima chuckles to himself sitting down his drink
You looks down at him as he man spreads, he looked fine “I think you’re drunk” you chuckles taking a seat down next to him “Need me to call up a friend for you?”
“I’m not drunk I promise you” Tsukishima’s eyes met yours and then glanced down at your lips “I just like watch you not to sound like a perverted freak or anything”
You nods looking into his hazel eyes and then his lips “If you were I wouldn’t mind it” you laugh softly at how stupid you sound
You see him smile you guessed at hearing your comment “Oh yeah?” He chuckled back making you feel too many things at once
And all you said was “Do you wanna head to my place?” And that’s all you remember before Tsukishima pulled you out of the club and opening up your apartment door and now you had him pushed up against a wall your lips all over his while his hands gripped your ass.
“Wait how old are you?” You ask Tsukishima pulling away from the kiss slightly
“22” Tsukishima pants catching his breath his hands still on you “How old are you?”
“25” you says softly tilting up his chin to examine his face and of course he was really cute “You sure you’re 22?”
“Yes I’m turning 23 in September” Tsukishima picks you up making you let out a noise “You sure you’re 25 you like you could be 19”
You shake your head blushing “Thank you but that’s my true age”
Your eyes meet and you wrap around him tightly seeing how he would react “Did you want to do something?” He asks you
You rests your head on his shoulder hugging him a little “Not really I barely know you but if you were expecting me to do something we can”
Tsukishima shakes his head “No no I wasn’t expecting anything I just wanted to see you more” you blush at his words
“You’re talking a lot about seeing me how long are you staying here exactly?” You lift your head up trying to fix his hair back to what it was before you started pulling on it
“One more week” Tsukishima didn’t really process that he didn’t have much time left here and basically fell for a woman on the other side of the world
You sighs as Tsukishima places you back down on your feet “That’s no time at all” you says softly “I wanted to get to know you”
“We still could we would just have to rush it” Tsukishima sounded like he really wanted to make this work and deep down you wanted to see where this would go
You rest your hands on his chest “I want to get to know you over the span of months not a few days Tsukishima”
“I’ll stay then” You chuckles at his behavior finding it cute
“And leave your life in Japan to be with a stripper that you barely even know?” You gets on your tippy toes and kisses his cheek “I’m not worth it Tsuki”
The nickname you called him made him wanna stay more the way his name just slips off your tongue he wanted to pounce on you and hold you gently at the same time “You are, you are very much worth it Star”
You sigh cupping his cheek “Since we most likely won’t ever see each other again my real name isn’t star” you feel the tall blonde melt into your hand making you want him to stay “My real name is Y/n, star is just my stage name”
The name sounds so pretty he wanted to say it all the time “Do you enjoy being here and working y/n?” Tsukishima rests his hands on your waist taking in the pouty look on your face
“It’s alright I guess I would love to live a different life but I don’t have that luxury” you shrugs before pulling Tsukishima over to the couch pushing him back so he can sit down on it
“What if you moved to Japan with me?” His eyes light up at the idea and he looked adorable “I will take care of you until you get work and cherish you”
His huge hands pull you down by your hips sitting down with him “You sound crazy Tsukishima” you sigh as his lips meet yours for a gentle kiss “We barely know each other” you mutters against his lips
“Kei” he says softly his hands traveling down to your ass squeezing it “You can call me by my first name”
You pull away from the kiss and look at him “I know I sound crazy y/n and maybe it is the alcohol but I really enjoy your presence this whole time I’ve been in America I’ve just been sleeping and training my ass off and the one day I go out I meet you and you’re just perfect like out of this world”
You looks at Tsukishima cupping his face “What if we stay in contact?” You press small kisses on his face as he closes his eyes and takes in the feeling of you “We can have each other’s numbers and just talk until we can meet again”
Tsukishima looks up at you his eyes soft “I’m down with that” he hums resting his head on your chest just about “We gotta spend at least a few more days together before I go”
You nod looking down at before pulling your phone out of your pocket “Gimme your number” He types in his number and grabs his phone while you official put in his contact
The rest of the night was just you both watching some Tv while getting to know each other more and more finding out that you both like most of the same music artists, the same favorite animal, and favorite foods.
You’re not sure how much time passed but eventually you fall asleep in Tsukishima’s arms on your couch and you had to admit that it was the best sleep you had gotten in a while without taking meds or drinking.
