Feat. Kuroo
Kuroo didn’t know when he decided that dating you would be a bad idea, but he did. But looking at you know, he couldn’t remember why.
Seeing you after a long day was like taking a fresh breath of air, or maybe not. Seeing you, an indescribable feeling came over him.
You made water taste better, the sun shine brighter, and his heart beat faster.
You first met Kuroo your first year, on the first day of school. He sat beside you in class and offered his name so you returned with yours. After that interaction you spoke with him regularly in class and it only took a few months before you were speaking outside of class.
You two got close, and for some reason, he got scared. It wasn't often that he let people get too close, or that people wanted to get close.
He let his feelings fester for two years, nearly forgetting that there was another option besides dying in silence.
But here you were, leaning down in front of him whispering in his ear, telling him to come with you. Goosebumps rose on his skin as your hot breath hit his ear. He willingly followed you, not that he had much choice because you were holding onto his hand tightly.
His mind jumped from several different conclusions as to what you were gonna do to him, some shoujo status, others being horrifically humiliating.
You lead him out of the classroom to behind the school.
"What are we doing here?" He asked.
You shushed him and grabbed him by his tie to lower him in front of a cardboard box. He almost lost it then and there. You looked around in every direction before opening the box to reveal a single black kitten sleeping in it.
"I found her in a bush near the entrance. You know, I was running late so it was quiet when I was walking up so I heard her meowing." You explained, petting her head softly with one finger. "I found a box and went back and grabbed her. By the time I had done all of this, 1st period was over."
He looked over at you as you looked tenderly at the kitten. He wondered if he was looking at you with a similar expression.
"What are you going to do with her?"
You looked up at him with a bashful look and he knew that whatever you were going to say next he would agree to immediately.
"I was thinking you could take it? My dad would never let us take her in, but maybe your parents would be ok with it? I would have to come over constantly though."
"Of course, I'll take care of her." He spoke without really thinking about it, but his answer would have been the same.
"Really? That's so great! I was super worried for a bit."
"C'mon, I'd do anything I could to help you out." After watching your expression change, he wanted to take it back immediately, or at least rearrange his wording.
"Thanks, Tetsurou." Shit. He was down bad.
With the way you were looking at him now, he was asking again, why hadn't he made a move sooner.
He spoke your name softly and you held your breath as he spoke. "Before we go back to class, I have something I want to say." He paused to find the right words, but nothing seemed better than just saying them. "I like you."
You finally let out a breath as a shaky laugh and beamed at him. "I like you too."
You both were caught up in a moment of bliss that was broken by the weak cry of the kitten in front of you.
"She's awake!" You pulled her into your arms as you showed Kuroo to her. "This is Tetsurou, your new dad."
"If I'm her dad, does that make you her mom?" He hoped to pull a flustered reaction from you, but the best he could get was a blush and a smile.
"I thought that was obvious." You mumble, placing her back into the box.
"Well, we should probably head back, class will be starting soon." He said, taking the box into his arms.
“What are you doing?” You ask.
“Taking her to the gym, Nekomata won’t mind. She’ll be safer where no one else will find her. She can be like our mascot or something.” You smile at him and it sends the same electric shocks through his heart, just without the pain this time.
