Tsukki falls for his chaotic Black friend. That's it.
Okay real summary:
Kanai Athena came to Japan when she was in middle school. After transferring to another high school during her first year, she surprisingly becomes close friends with Tsukishim...
"AUNTIE!" I squeal, running towards her and taking her into a big hug.
"Oh my god, I can't believe you're here." She rocks me back and forth and I chuckle, nodding in agreement.
"Me too. It's been too long." I say and she grabs my suitcases from me, hurriedly rushing me out the airport.
"We got the entire family waitin' on you at home! As soon as your daddy said you was on a flight over here I made sure everybody came over. Oh baby- we got a feast for you!"
A real, genuine smile crosses my lips as I laugh and follow her out the airport to the waiting car.
God, I missed this place.

"Bitch what?! You was doing alllll that in Japan? You done lost your damn mind. What yo daddy say? I bet he- DAAAAAAAAMMMMMNNNN!"
My cousin's eyes widen when I show her a picture of me and Suna together.
She snatches the phone out of my hand and zooms in.
"Okay. And he's taller than you? I thought they were short out there?" She raises a brow at me and I chuckle.
"A lot of my friends out there were taller than me because they all played volleyball." I note and she hums.
"Girl. We don't like this man, right?" She asks and I laugh, shaking my head. "Okay. He good looking but this bitch got the posture of that one little fat kid in that um...what's that one movie? Where the little boy's dog died and he brings it back to life like Frankenstein but then all the little kids try to bring pets back to life or some shit. Pretty sure the same guy who made corpses bride or something like that made it."
"Bitch." I snort, covering my mouth as I burst out laughing. "I don't even remember the name of the movie but I know damn well who you talking about. That's foul."
We both cover our mouths, laughing until we can't breathe.
"Okay but am I wrong?" She asks and I slightly nudge her, grinning as I find another picture.
"This is Kei."
She looks at the picture then deadpans, looking at me like 'are you serious?'
"How the fuck you manage to find not one, but two tall ass motherfuckers who are conventionally attractive- and mess it up?? Twice!"
"Bitch, I do not know." I frown, shutting my phone off.
After a few seconds she stands up, shaking her head.
"Yeah no. We ain't having you all depressed when I haven't seen you since last summer. We is partying and getting blacked out tonight!"
Wanting a distraction, I immediately agree.
We go to her room, finding the tightest and most flattering clothes we can find for one another in her closet and begin doing our hair and makeup.
"So how long are you staying out here for?" Layla, my cousin, asks.
"Um. Like a day." I sheepishly grin and she immediately looks at me.
"Girl what the fu–"
"I'm not even supposed to be here. I just came here because I was overwhelmed. I'm still in school." I chuckle a bit and she purses her lips.
"Damn bitch. How is that? School in Japan?" She asks as she blends her contour and I shrug.
"I mean- it's whatever. I'm in college prep classes so they're hard sometimes." I finish putting some lashes on before pulling out my phone to take pictures.
Layla snorts before chuckling a bit.
"Man, I forgot. You're our token black girl."
My face scrunches up in disgust and I turn over to look at her.
"Gosh, please never call me that again."
Within a few hours we leave the house and she drives me down to a party. Since Layla is older than me by a few years and in college, the party is much more intense than I anticipated.
However, I feel it's the perfect stress reliever for me so we both let loose and drink.
I really don't remember a lot of what happened except for the fact that at one point I completely forgot English and started up conversations with people in Japanese.
Needless to say none of them understood me. Also pretty sure I got called a weeb at one point. I don't even watch anime but okay.
Layla didn't drink all that much since I was drinking basically everything, and on the way home we stop at in n out to sit inside to eat.
Just as we get our food, my phone begins to ring. Seeing the contact name is 'Hinata Shōyō', I answer immediately.
"Hiiiiinnnaataaa!" I giggle, seeing his face appear on my screen.
"Athena-San! Where are you? You sound drunk. What kind of secret American society are you at? We're coming to pick you up." He sounds worried and I tilt my head, confused.
Secret American society?
I lift my phone up, staring up at the camera as I giggle and turn around, getting my cousin in the frame.
"Okay! We're at in n out!"
"Hah? Where?"
"In n out. Burgers?" I show the two burgers and fries that I got, smiling widely.
"YOU ARE IN AMERICA?!" The phone is snatched and Yamaguchi comes into frame, eyes wide.
"Yes. 'Murica!" I straighten up, saluting to the camera.
"You're fucking weird." Layla laughs at me.
"What the fuck? How long are you staying out there?" Hinata comes into frame again and I raise at eyebrow, shaking my head.
I've done a lot of thinking and...
"I'm not coming back."
(Hehe Layla's outfit bc shes extra and we love her for that
