Love troubles

Rushing through the school corridors, you felt your heart sinking down, as you got closer to the sports gym. You didn't have time for that kind of emotions, not right now, at least. You pulled yourself together and pushed firmly the door.

"OH! Y/N-san!", the tallest and the cheeriest boy, greeted you with a Cheshire cat smile. — "You came to watch me practice. I knew it! You like me!", he just couldn't stay calm every time he met you.

"No, I am sorry, Lev. I'm, actually, really late for my art classes. I have exams soon, so I… It doesn't matter. Is Kenma here?", you missed the like part, though, and his face lightened up with delight.

"Yaku-san, did you hear it? Senpai is attracted to me".

"He's somewhere playing his PSP. I'm gonna kick his ass, if he comes late", you heard the voice, you wish, you'd avoid.

"Kuroo, you are late yourself", Yaku grimaced.

"Well, lucky me for being a captain, then".

"Crap. How should I reach out to him if he doesn't even read his messages", you bit the inside of your cheek.

"Is it that important? You can tell me, then. I'll see what can I do".

"I don't need your help", you almost hissed at Kuroo.

"Hey, hey. No need to be hostile. I was trying to help", he lifted his hands, trying to sound friendly.

You inhaled sharply.

"Look. When you see him, tell him, I won't be back in time to his stream. I promised him a collab, but the school happened…".

"It's not a big deal, then".

"It is for him. And he is my friend. You follow?", there was bitterness in your words. "So, just tell him. Would you? Thank you. I should hurry. Buy, everyone", you bowed and flashed out of the gym, not wanting to suffocate yourself with unnecessary emotions.

Just let it go…let it go…

You were about to head out, a hand grabbed you by the wrist.

"What was that?", he tried to read you.

You pulled out your hand, as if it was an acid on it.

"I am in a hurry. Could you stop holding me back?".

"I am just a bit worried about you".

"Oh, wow. You are worried. Were you worried about me, when you kissed me, and took it back the next day?".

"I …".

"Sorry. Just… I try to avoid THIS sort of interactions with you, as I should. But you can't stop to touch me on the raw. We can't have the same friendship, as we did, obviously. But, at least, we could minimize interaction. I don't want Kenma to feel awkward more than he already does. I don't want him to choose. You are his best friend and this need to survive. I would appreciate if you could keep a distance".

"Did you prepare it for days or something?", he tried to make you smile, but there was nothing than anger and sadness in your eyes.

"I should go. Just tell Kenma, that I won't be there today for him".

He stood there a couple of more minutes, gazing blankly through the sunlit windows, watching your silhouette disappearing behind the entrance gates.

"Idiot", he growled in a low tone.

"You surely are", a voice from behind, got him off guard. A rare case, as he was always the one to make people feel intimidated.

"So, what's going on between you two? You were good before the summer camp. What changed? Y/n is not the person to be hostile towards people…even the dorks like you", Yaku spoke teasing, yet genuinely concerned.

"It's nothing".

"Mhm. If this nothing interferes with the training…", he shared his concerns with team captain.

"It won't. You have nothing to worry about", Kuroo sharply cut Yaku's thought and walked back into the gym.

"Lev, use your lanky hands properly!", now Kuroo tasted the bitterness of his own decisions.

"And this is our wise captain…", Yaku sighed and followed the team leader.

The day was exhausting, both – emotionally and physically. The next week will be exams at the art school. And you need to pass them. No. You just have no other choice.

"I'm home", you took off your shoes and went straight to your room.

It seemed nobody was at home.

Lucky me… Thank you, Universe…

No unnecessary questions and painful worry.

You were so tired, that even a shower seemed to be a feat. The school uniform went on the floor. You didn't even care to change it. The pillow and fluffy blanket looked so alluring. And you surrendered.

I just lay here for a minute…

Bzzz bzzz bzzz

The vibration of your phone took you out of the sweet dreams.

And it didn't stop. Your phone went buzzing, till you reached out for your phone, lost somewhere under the blanket.

It was Volleyball team group chat.

Lev was bombarding it with stupid memes and fooling around. And, it seemed, some boys went along with it. Even Kenma participated.

You saw a privet message from Kenma and opened it.

What is wrong with u two?

Hello to you too, Pudding head. I am alive, thanks for asking.

Why shouldn't u be alive?

I am sore in mind and heart. The classes were exhausting. How's your stream?

Fine, I guess.

Sorry, couldn't make it.

It's ok. So, you'll just ignore my question?

What question?

What's going on with you and Kuroo?

Nothing?

Yeah, right.

He just pissed me off with his stupid chemistry jokes. That's all. Hey, can we talk tomorrow. I need to go through books, we have a test tomorrow, remember? Are you prepared?

Message read.

Kenma? You played the whole evening? Didn't you?

Message read.

I am not gonna help you tomorrow, you geeky Pudding. GN

Night. Y/N.

You smiled at his antics.

Shower. Tea. Homework… and, maybe, a couple of hours of a not so healthy sleep.

"Don't sleep on the wending machine, Y/N", Kenma shook you by the shoulder.

"I… am… not… shhhleping".

"Maybe you should better go home, you do look like a zombie".

"You are such a supportive friend, I'm touched".

"I do worry about your condition. You look really pale… are even eating properly".

"Says the guy, who likes to sit in a gamer cavern with noodlesoup".

"Come at the training today".

"I am not going to be a manager".

"Tell it to Tora and Lev, then".

"I did. I would like to help you more, but I don't think I can handle two schools and a club".

"When are your exams?".

"Mmm…the next Tuesday".

"You're gonna make it. I believe in you".

You woke up in an instant, blinked and staring at your childhood friend.

"What?", he asked blankly, not distracting from his console.

"These are the most inspiring words I heard from you in years. Well, except from that time in Kindergarten, when you tried to console me after me loosing my favorite hairpin".

"I am not the most socially opened person, but I do care about my friends. And you are like… a sister to me".

"Owww, Kyanmaaaa. I love you so much", you squeezed him and rubbed your chick with his.

"Kenma. Don't be late to the training. You are the one to babysit Lev today", Kuroo approached you two with a grumpy expression on his face.

"Grinch", you snorted dramatically at him.

He opened his mouth to retort, but bit his tongue, remembering your monologue from yesterday.

"Don't be late, or I'll take your console away", and he walked from you two.

"You should go. I'll probably head home. Shoooo shleepy. Call me later. I'll kick your butt in any game you pick".

"You can try. Eat and sleep properly".

"Yes, Sir. Later".

The several next days passed like in oblivion. Homework and exam preparations took all of your time. You didn't even go for a brief walk to breathe in some fresh air.

By Tuesday, you were squeezed like a lemon. Panda eyes, stomach ache and narcoleptic state of mind – that is what accompanied you throughout the day.

"Did you sleep?", Kenma asked with a tense voice.

"Yeah".

"Liar… Why …".

"Cause today is the day and I need to do it… and do it good", you stopped, feeling your anger and exhaustion take over control, -"Sorry. You know this is important for me. I am just terrified and couldn't keep my mind at ease. What if I fail. I would be forced to repeat the whole thing".

"Then you're gonna be even better next year".

"Yeah. And I lose one year, too. So annoying".

"You should take a nap before you go".

"No, no, no. I'm gonna definitely oversleep".

"I'll stay with you and wake you up in time".

"Tempting, but no".

"Just sleep already".

"No", your mind said, but your body disagreed. "Fine, maybe a short nap won't do harm". You laid on the bench under the big tree, fresh air brushing gently your skin, it felt like heaven.

You woke up in the evening. Terror was the first emotion, that overwhelmed you.

What happened? Did Kenma missed the time? Was he too invested in his game and noticed it too late? Why?

Your lungs lacked the air. It was a mess. The worst scenario happened.

"Kenma! Why didn't you wake me up?! What I'm going to do now… I missed everything", you started to sob.

"Hey, hey. It's fine", you heard a familiar voice.

"Tetsu? Why are you here? Where is Kenma?".

"He left for a practice".

"Why are you here?".

"I just kept an eye on you, while you were asleep. Well, instead of Kenma".

"Did he tell you to wake me up?".

"Yes. But I thought it would be better if you sleep more, before your body collapses…".

"Tetsu! I had important exams and I missed them, because you wanted to play bigbro". I'm screwed. I'm not gonna be able to retake the exams. Dang it!", you set down, hands around your head, the act of despair, as all the books call it. No tears, though, – "I can't even cry, because I'm so damn sore. Pathetic. Ah, duck it everything!".

"Well. As you sow, you shall mow".

"Screw you, Tetsu. Why the hell you even bother? You are not my brother, so stop. Can you pretend you don't know me or something? I am tired of this situation. It is frustrating".

"I can't. I seem to look for you in the crowd, I can recognize your voice and laughter, even if there are hundreds of people around. And I'm freaking hate it, when Lev tries to claim you".

"Am I hallucinating?".

He pinched your nose.

"Ouch. What was that for?".

"You clearly wanted to figure it out, whether it is reality or a dream".

"God. You are a dork and a jerk".

"I take it as a compliment".

"You really shouldn't", you stood up and wanted to go home, change into something comfy, grab a hot chocolate and dive into tons of blankets, and just spend there the rest of your life.

"Wait. Didn't you hear my confession", he tried to sound confident as usual, but he clearly failed.

"I didn't hear a thing. I am out", you chuckled and went to the gates.

"I heard that. It is a yes".

"I didn't hear any questions to answer them".

"You are going to date me".

"You wish, Captain".

"You can't say no after a passionate kiss we shared, you know?".

"I don't remember any passionate kiss at all", you continued walking.

"Such a stubborn one. Then I need to show you some real movie passion", with these words he ran you down.

He caught you by surprise with a gentle, yet a bit hungry kiss.

You frowned.

"Well, it's not the reaction, that I expected, but I take it, because you are too cute with that little frown look".

"Tell me, Tetsu. Has someone hit you with a ball or something?".

"Let me think. I don't remember it to happen".

"So, in other words, there is a chance of that".

"Come on. The feeling is mutual. Don't be an amino acid".

"Not again", you rolled your eyes and pushed him a bit. — "If you will take it back tomorrow, I am going to shave your bedhead. And send a photo to your buddy Bokuto. He will definitely annoy the crap out of you", you were proud of your possible vengeance plan.

"Ow, that hurts. But it won't be the case. I learned a lesson", he took your bag from you and put his free arm around your shoulder.

"You owe me a world, Kuroo".

"Your wish is my command".

"Kuroo-san stole my precious Senpai", Lev desperately sighed at the sight of the two of you smiling to each other.

"Did you know they kissed the last day at training camp?", Taketora excitedly added.

"Leave them alone", Kenma cut them short.

"But…", Lev didn't want to lose.

"No buts, Lev…".
