- he makes me like him so much I think it's love

Kenma and yourself laid on the floor in his room. You looked through his volleyball magazines that you guess were brought here by Kuroo and he played on his playing device, the only sound in the room were the one made when Kenma pressed the buttons of his device rapidly.

You were bored and there was nothing to do as it was Sunday. You tried to focus on the magazine before you but you couldn't help wondering where a certain Nekoma third year was. He could be in the door at any minute, prompting you to glance at the door longingly. You sighed repetitively and although Kenma found it annoying, he kept quiet because he believed that he knew what you were thinking about. And he couldn't relate.

"Kenma.."

"Hm."

You were silent, thinking about what to say carefully and he had to pause the game to listen after realising you were probably thinking of something important.

"Do you know the symptoms of love."

"This is... why I don't interact with other.. people."

"KENMA~! Don't be mean.."

He sighed and sat up, leaning against his bed when he watched you, a worrying look crossing your face and he sighed, putting down the device to grab his phone and when you opened your mouth, Kenma spoke first in a bored tone, "Do.. Do you think he's special?"

You sat up and your heart almost lurched in your throat when Kenma cringed slightly at the excited look in your eyes. You turned and moved along to the carpet to sit directly in front of Kenma and he looked down to the screen again, tapping it before opening his mouth, "Do you focus on the positives about him and ignore his negative traits? Or.. daydream about him and stuff?"

"Oh! I do! I daydream about Ku- about him all the time! He never leaves my fuc- sorry, my brain."

You smiled bashfully and looked down at Kenma's disapproving look, waiting for you to be quiet, "Do you have emotional instability?"

He stared, waiting for an answer, "Kenma, I said love, not something serious like tha-"

"I mean like exhilaration, euphoria [Name]. Not that. Like, do you feel increased energy, sleeplessness and loss of appetite, trembling, a racing heart and fast breathing. This sounds so troublesome."

He looked at you with pity. You thought about what he said and you didn't notice the way his golden eyes flickered to the door before returning back to his phone when you nodded at him, agreeing with those things and also wanting him to keep going, "Urgh.. Do you feel like.. intensified romantic attraction to him.?"

"Huh? Isn't that all the time?"

He rolled his eyes and you tilted your head, thinking before nodding again to agree fully this time, awaiting his next question, "Do you think about hi-"

"ALL THE TIME."

"D-do you have like a dependency on him? Why can't you just tell me who it is?"

"Be-Because!" He shocked you when he suddenly turned off his phone to drop it beside him dramatically. You perked up and pouted, wrapping your arms around your knees, resting your chin on your knees when you muttered under your breath, "I've.. I've never been in love before. I'm only eighteen so it scares me."

"You don't have to be scared. You have Kuroo, ...me as well."

"Th-thank you.. Kozume."

You thought his eyes looked upwards, to the side where you knew the door was but you didn't think of why and then Kenma seemed to roll his eyes and spoke, pink taking over cheeks lightly, "He.. He makes my heart go wild. I don't even think I like him anymore Kenma. It's scaring me. I want to tell him but I don't and I'm scared of what he'll say because I can't imagine being without him and I feel like I need him, Jesus, Kenma I think I need help. I don't know what to do I mean Kuroo is in my head all the damn time like can he just take a fucking walk?!"

You stopped to breathe and all you could hear was the sound of your loud breath after speaking without taking a break the whole time. Kenma seemed to have heard every word of what you said meanwhile you forgot what was said everywhere in between the finish and the start of your rant. You wanted to leave or take a walk or go to sleep (or try to) but you almost felt like you were going crazy.

"You said you don't even like him..?" Kenma's voice was still impassive and balanced as well, you couldn't help giving him a crazed look, "No I don't like him. Come on Kenma, you're a little slow but-" His eyes narrowed and you recoiled as you stood up, "Sorry, sorry." A sigh left your mouth, helpless and hopeless, Kenma and Kuroo heard the way you breathed out, "I'm in love with Tetsurō."

Kuroo walked besides you to school, it was early and the way your dazed eyes looked around slowly was an obvious give away that you weren't in the mood for anything. The air was cold, the red scarf around your neck was wrapped around multiple times to build more warmth and you lowered your chin to let your nose be buried by the wool.

"So.."

"Huh? What?" You half-lidded eyes met the side of his face and you observed the way the tip of his nose had turned pink, his cheeks were pink as well and you stared until realising that you weren't walking straight anymore.

"He always makes you smile?"

He saw you flinch from the corner of his eyes and smirked to himself, "Ye-yeah."

"And he's gorgeous, right? Or was it beautiful?" You rolled your eyes yet nodded, making a noise of affirmation when you thought of him, how attractive he was even standing right beside you at seven in the morning, "Where's Kenma?"

"He left without us, he'll be fine. But back to this most handsome and alluring 'Kuroo', he makes you feel safe too, right? Comfortable, sheltered, protecte-"

"I know the damn definition and synonyms for 'safe,' Tetsurō." He chuckled under his breath, it was raspy and fog fell from his mouth and you wanted to hear him laugh again.

"You say he can make you feel worthy. Like you could talk about anything, even like about how the sun can use something to make sweet stuff and turn it into energy an-"

"Are you telling me a simplified version of photosynthesis..? In.. plants?"

He gave you a look, "Are you telling me that animals can do it too?" You gave him the greatest, 'What The Fuck' look and let your feet take you to your domain of education and hatred, "But I'm right, right?"

"Yes Kuroo, Oh my god."

"He knows when something is wrong too."

"That's correct." Nodding, you bit your lips to keep the smile in when you could see him glancing at you often when he thought you didn't know, "And he makes you look for him everywhere, Isn't that annoying?"

"Oh he never leaves my mind either, it's the grea~test!" You laughed aloud, puffing out your chest in the best sarcastic voice you could muster, an obnoxious laugh making him cringe a bit before beaming at you, "You're right. You said he values his friends too, he's passionate about what he loves. Or who he loves too."

The blush on your face was no longer from the cold as the heat began to consume you. You knew your face was turning a ridiculous shade of red and yet you could turn away nor could you get away from your best friend. He just kept speaking, spilling everything while you let him and you listened to everything he said. He perked up, that half-smiling on his delicious lips that made your stomach roll when you knew he was going to do something bad. Bad for you but good for him.

"And I remember this too, coming from your mouth, 'He.. He makes my heart go wild. I don't even think I like him anymore Kenma. It's scaring me. I want to tell him but I don't and I'm scared of what he'll say because I can't imagine being without him and I feel like I need him, Jesus, Kenma I think I need help. I don't know what to do I mean Kuroo is in my head all the damn time like can he just take a fucking walk?!'"

oh my fucking god

"Those words came from your deliciously sexy lips." His hand tightened on your where they were both laced together in the pocket of his navy blazer. He used that to his advantage and pulled you into him, towering over you when he laughed quietly at the red colour on your face, feeling your heat radiate to him, "You're so warm.."

His head dipped forward slowly but you met him halfway, feeling him smile into the kiss when his lips moved over yours so sensually that you almost melted. You smiled, biting his lips and feeling his tongue wrap around yours, you could've moaned from the feeling but you restrained yourself and Kuroo gently squeezed your hand again as he departed from you.

He stared into your eyes, glistening in front of him and he smiled, leaning forward again to surprise you by a frenzy of kisses all over your face; your forehead, your cheeks and your nose too, your chin and your hair. He didn't stop until both of your were laughing and Kuroo watched you, you saw his eyes wide in adoration and gave him a tender peck on the forehead, having to leaning forward on your tippy toes, "I love you Tetsurō"

"I'm so fucking in love with you [Name]."
