- he's so beautiful

It was a study period, Kuroo sat in front of you though he turned around in his seat to spread his legs around the back of the chair, leaning against the back rest as he watched you doodle tiny stars and perfect hearts in the fresh pages of your notebook. He had no expression present, just trying to figure out if you were thinking about something or just that concentrated on the little scribbles. But he had to satisfy his curiosities, "Hey [Name]-chan."

"Yeah, Kuroo-san?"

You only took a millisecond to glance up at him, finding his eyes trained on your page, "Who're you thinking about?"

Ceasing your hand for a moment, he thought he had you as a tiny grin began forming on his face as he was so ready to see you blush out of embarrassment.

You just went back to drawing, "Well, you I guess?"

"Me?"

Nodding, you breathed in and sat straight to focus on the conversation as he had raised a brow to stare at you, "Cause you started talking to me so obviously I'd start thinking about the person I'm talking to right?"

You had a point. And then your hand; holding a pink, thin pen covered in little chibi kittens, started moving on the paper again, "Alright then.. Tell me more about this dude."

He didn't really notice the look of confusion cross your face before he saw that you start drawing a stick man, the two legs and the two arms, a circle for a head with a neutral face connected by a single, vertical line, "This dude is sad because.. his money got stolen."

Kuroo was baffled.

"..He actually stole that money but he wanted to give the money to his beloved; this man here," Another stick man was being drawn under all the stars and hearts and you froze, "Quick, give me a name, any name, come on a name, name, give me one, a name, I need one give it to me~ a na-"

"Uh, Kuroo."

He was smiling now, listening to your story as it came straight from your mind and out of your pink lips that the found him himself watching a lot. Now there was a smile across your lips and your licked them, he caught that action, his own mouth went dry.

"He stole the money to give to his beloved, Kuroo because he'd do anything for Kuroo. Kuroo is the most gorgeous and most angelic, ethereal being that-" Both Kuroo and yourself realised that you hadn't given a name to the first stick man that was drawn, "Quick, give me a name, an-"

"[Name]"

You almost froze at the sound of his low voice saying your name with no honorifics, it sounded really nice, "He stole the money for Kuroo - you named a male, [Name]. Is this a problem?"

He shook his head so you continued as he sat amused, "[Name] stole all this money for Kuroo because he thought Kuroo was the most handsome and the most alluring being that he ever set his eyes on and [Name] had never seen anything like him. [Name] didn't know what he could give to Kuroo to make him happy so he thought he'd just give him money because [Name] didn't think he was good enough for Kuroo."

A stoic look was pointed at you but you didn't stop telling the story that had no end, middle or beginning. Talking about this fictional '[Name]' and this 'Kuroo.'

"[Name] always believed that Kuroo was the most awe-inducing person and vowed to make him happy and he didn't know how else to but to give him money-"

"Sounds like Kuroo is a prostitute." He was smirking, eyeing you suspiciously but you only smiled in reply, shaking your head, "[Name] was a fool in love, he didn't know what else to do with all these feelings swirling like a thunderstorm inside of him." He watched how you began scribbling quick circles on the stick man's body that you had both named '[Name].'

"Is this you?" He thought he might have gotten what you were getting at, describing yourself as the stick man that he named after you without a thought.

"I'm not a male, Kuroo."

He shook his head when a grin and his eyes sparkled, "But it's you, right? And this is how you see that boy you were talking about."

You placed the pen down and leant forward a bit to rest your head on your palm, smiling at him in a way that made his breath hitch momentarily when you spoke so softly and wholeheartedly, one sentence that made his eyes widen at your glow.

"Oh Kuroo.. He's so.. beautiful."
