Curate, connect, and discover
͏ ͏(9:50AM) TETSURŌ KUROO
“i got invited for another date again.”
you turn, missing your straw completely as you attempt to play it off. “and? did you accept?”
kuroo chuckles at you, aiming the straw towards your lips as you happily enjoying the cool drink. “nope.”
a pout forms on your face. you bump your shoulder against kuroo’s arm, narrowing your eyes at the street ahead of you. “i don’t understand why you turn down these dates.”
because of you, kuroo thinks.
you are the sole reason kuroo doesn’t go on dates or accept confessions, because he’s inevitably and madly in-love with you. ever since you became nekoma’s manager during his third year of high school, it was as if you two instantly became friends.
you matched kuroo’s quick mouth, like the way he matched your wit. soon hanging out just for volleyball turned into hanging out at kenma’s to play games. a friendship neither of you anticipating to happen.
unfortunately, for the man across from you, you’re completely obvious towards his feelings for you. always laughing it off as a joke when he sincerely opens up to you. others would’ve given up years ago, however, kuroo isn’t one to back down from what he really wants.
“because there’s someone i like.”
you pause, mouth agape and eyes wide, watching kuroo’s ears quickly turn red. a squeal escapes your mouth as you jump up and down, slapping kuroo on his back as you begin to yell.
“what? since when? why didn’t you tell me?!”
“y/n—“
“is she in your class? oh, she must be really smart, huh?”
“not really—“
“that’s a messed up thing to say…”
kuroo sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose, his patience running thin. you’re unaware of it all — the slight tremble in his voice as he tries to speak over your persistent questions.
“so when do you wanna go out?”
your mouth immediately shuts up, as you stare back at your friend, narrowing your eyes for any signs of teasing. except there isn’t any. in broad daylight, there stands kuroo, his hair upright as it’s always been, golden eyes shining with sincerity.
you open and close your mouth, nerves growing quickly while your mind tries to make sense of what just happened.
“are you asking me out on a date?”
“yeah.”
the apple of your cheeks begin to grow hot, as you fidget with your cup. “but that's... i mean, we're not -- oh.”
there’s a moment of silence, one awaiting for the other to speak first. until you feel a sudden warmth on your hand, realizing it’s kuroo’s hand in yours. it’s much bigger than you expected, covering up your whole hand entirely.
“hey, w–wait!”
“earlier you said you wanted to get some pastries, right? i think there’s a place nearby.”
“tetsu, what are you doing?”
kuroo turns to you, a gleaming smile gracing his face. it knocks your breath away. he looks almost ethereal with the way the rays of the sun shine on him.
“isn’t it obvious?” he teases, placing a chaste kiss on your forehead. “i’m taking my girlfriend on a date!”
and this time, you didn’t turn him down.
a/n: i apologize in advance if this seems… rushed?? dry?? it’s my first time writing for kuroo in so long so please be kind 😭😭
