"Kenma? Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah what is it?"

"The other day when you, um, kissed me... Did you mean it?" you ask nervously as you look over at your friend.

A mischievous smile begins working its way across Kenma's face.

"I dunno what do you think?"

Kenma keeps his eyes locked on yours and inches closer. You can feel your nervousness intensify as he stands before you.

"M-Maybe?"

Kenma, now in your personal space, brings his hands up to your face. You begin to tremble as he slides his thumb lightly across your bottom lip. He then decides to grab a fistful of your shirt and pull you closer to him. You allow your eyes to close as you sink into his warmth.

He continues to kiss you slowly, taking in the feeling of your mouth against his own. You allow your arms to sneak up Kenma's body until your hands land in his hair.

Suddenly Kenma pulls himself away from the kiss as he parts from you. You could feel the obvious tingling sensation of blush on your cheeks as you watch him continue to look into your eyes.

After a moment of seeing nothing, you find yourself in your bed.

Great another dream. It's not like I've been having those for the past week.

While cursing at yourself internally, you sit up and look over at your roommate's bed. You're surprised to see her still there, cuddled up in a ball with her long, light blue hair flowing down the side of the bed. Deciding it's best to be quiet and let her sleep, you do your best to not make any loud noises until she awakens.

But maybe if she does wake up I can get her to talk to me. The only thing I know about her is that she's got a friend she hangs out with like 24/7. Oh well, I don't want to be rude.

"Okay girls let's clean up!"

After practice, you begin to put away the equipment you used. Once you near the storage room, you overhear Mito and Nakamura talking.

"But isn't he kinda short?" you hear Mito ask.

"So? At least he doesn't have a mohawk!" Nakamura retorts.

"Huh?! How many times do I have to tell you I don't even know that guy!"

Ridiculous. Why is that the only thing these girls talk about? I better get away before they start bugging me again.

You place your things down outside of the storage room, hoping someone else can put them away for you while you make your escape. You then safely maneuver yourself around the gym until you can make a break for it.

You continue running wherever your legs take you until you arrive at the boys' gym. Peeking your head inside, you see the guys still practicing.

They're probably going to make up for the short practice yesterday.

"Hey!" you hear Ritsuko call out to you as Nakamura and Mito tap on your shoulders.

You jump at the sound of her voice, bumping against the door and making a loud noise.

"Ouch! What do you guys want?" you whisper yell at them.

Just then you see the girls look above your head. You internally groan before turning around to see Kuroo smirking back down at you.

"Damn what did I do to get the pleasure of seeing all the cute volleyball girls today?" he asks coyly as he leans against the door.

"Nothing you idiot," you groan as you push him into the gym, "leave my friends alone."

Although you attempted to separate Kuroo from the girls, they end up following you into the gym.

"Wow Y/N that might be one of the only times I've ever heard you call me your friend!" Ritsuko says sarcastically before punching you in the back.

"Ow! What the hell!"

Ritsuko gives you a disapproving face. You could tell she's upset that you pushed Kuroo away since that's clearly the opposite of what she wants.

"Y/N's here!" Yaku yells as he runs over to you.

"What's with you all today? You saw me yesterday, why do you have to make it seem like I haven't been here in a month!"

"Because we love you!" Yaku yells as he gives you a hug.

While Yaku's arms are around you, his breath hitches for a moment.

"What?" you whisper to him.

As he releases you, a weird look spreads across his face as he looks past you. You turn to see that he's got his eyes set on Nakamura.

"That'll never happen," you say as you pat his shoulder apologetically.

"Y/N you're mean," he pouts back.

"Oh Y/N!" Kuroo calls to get your attention, "Kenma's over there if you want him!"

Kuroo smirks as he points over to the other side of the gym.

You look over at Kenma and see him avoiding the crowd by keeping his eyes glued to his phone. You then notice Yamamoto running over towards you. As he approaches, you can tell he's watching either Nakamura or Mito behind you.

"Oh Y/N that reminds me!" Yaku says as he looks from Yamamoto to you.

You glance over at Yamamoto whose eyes are lighting up in excitement.

"One of our friends is having a party in their dorm nearby ours tonight. You girls should come!"

From your side, you can feel Ritsuko shaking your arm.

"Sorry Yaku but partying isn't really my thing," you say as you give a small smile.

"Oh come on Y/N," Ritsuko begs, "it'll be fun!"

After rolling your eyes, your gaze catches on Kuroo who is now giving you the most precious set of puppy dog eyes you've ever seen.

"None of you are going to leave me alone until I agree so whatever I guess," you sigh.

As the crowd around you continues to get excited, you mostly tune them out and focus on the boy whose eyes are still attached to his phone from across the room.

"Come on Y/N we gotta go!" Ritsuko exclaims as she starts dragging you out of the room.

Kuroo notices your gaze on Kenma and realizes you're getting pulled away before you get the chance to say anything to him.

"Better luck next time," he teases as you get tugged out of the room.
