Ennoshita/Kuroo/Sugawara: Friendship Bracelets

Take the string on the left, cross it over, knot. Cross over again, knot. One more time, knot. Repeat from the right, then knot the two in the center. Start over with the new outside left.

Making friendship bracelets really was kind of relaxing, Ennoshita thought as he waited for the simulation on his computer to finish running. It gave him something to do with his hands that wasn't fiddling with mock-ups of circuit boards, and it gave his mind a break too. He loved his job, but he could only stare at circuits for so long before his mind started spinning in circles.

His computer pinged, and he set the half-finished friendship bracelet aside. He looked at his screen and frowned; his simulation had failed again, and for the same reasons he'd been struggling with for days. Sighing, he went back to his prototype and started reviewing all of the circuits yet again. Several hours later, after adding a few more resistors to one circuit, removing one from another, and changing the specifications on a couple of capacitors, he crossed his fingers, hit the button, and took out his bracelets again while he waited for his new design to render.

He ended up working a few hours late, but by time he left, he not only had a working model to prototype the next day, he also had two new matching bracelets.

It took him another half hour to commute home, but like always, he felt the warm swell in his heart as he opened the door and called, "I'm home."

"Welcome back. It's about time," Kuroo replied, coming to greet him and take his bag. "Koushi got caught up with a couple of last-minute sick visits, but he should be right behind you. He just got off the subway."

Sure enough, by the time Ennoshita finished taking off his shoes, he heard Suga's footsteps coming down the hallway.

"Welcome home," he said as the door opened again. "Now close your eyes, both of you. I have a surprise for you." Suga couldn't wear friendship bracelets at the hospital, so Ennoshita tied his around the strap of his bag with the others. Then he tied Kuroo's around his wrist, adding to the growing collection that already stretched partway up his forearm.

"Happy Wednesday," he said as they opened their eyes. "Have I mentioned recently how much I love both of you?"
