"Tetsu," I heaved, my throat felt dry and my legs were moving faster than my brain. I didn't know what I was doing or where I was going. All I knew was that I needed to go somewhere far away.

And the farthest place I could think was Kuroo's house.

I held the phone close my ear, the ringing in both of them nearly blocking out all other noise.

"Y/n? What's wrong? Are you okay?" He sounded alert and I heard his footsteps on the other line.

"I-I... can you come and get me?" I sniffles like a little girl. I felt so small. What was I getting myself into? Agreeing to date one of the countries biggest social media entities... the drama that is ensuing is not what I want. Not right now and definitely not like this.

"Where are you?" I heard the sound of his car engine. I like that he only asked the vital questions. It seemed like he really cared. My heart wrenched for a moment as more sobs escaped my throat.

I cursed at myself a few times, "I'll send my location. I- can you please hurry?" I felt bad rushing him this late. I knew he was a busy man but it was dark and I was now realizing that up and leaving without grabbing my keys or bag was a poor choice.

But I didn't want to see Kenma right now. Not after the stunt be pulled. Keeping secrets? Maybe I wouldn't have cared much if he didn't hide it. But he didn't tell me. He made that choice.

But that didn't stop me from crying. I had at least 15 unread texts from my boyfriend. All of them were glowing red at me in contrast to the dark night.

I shivered once I realized I was just out in the open. I hurried toward a bus stop, submerging in the corner as I anxiously eyed my surroundings. Familiar places looked so scary in the dark.

About 15 minutes later, Kuroo pulled up in a dark blue Jeep, his head already popping out his window with a worried glance.

He jumped out and crouched in front of me, "What happened to you?" He grabbed my face, worry plastered across his own.

"Shit, I'm sorry for calling you out at this time," granted it was only 10 o'clock but that was late for Kuroo. He was probably already crashed in bed. But he had driven all this way for me.

I choked on my own spit, sobbing like a brat. I was so sure I looked insane. My hair felt frazzled, my clothes felt gross, and my face felt sticky. It was all so overwhelming.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

I was tucked into Kuroo's guest bed, the warm light of the bedside lamp glowed on the two of us; Kuroo laid beside me, staring at the ceiling while I laid on my side, submerged in blankets.

Kuroo had given me his spare sweats and hoodie which was evidentially much to long for me, the sleeve and pants of both clothing pieces draped over me like a blanket of its own.

"Kenma, that little shit," Kuroo snarled, his voice rash but low. I turned over, my eyes wide.

"I just wish he told me," I said it more to myself than to Kuroo, "It's even worse now knowing that she had a crush on him in the past. At least that's what Kenma had told me." I slightly scoffed.

"I mean, I've met this girl before," Kuroo say up, propping himself up on his elbow as he looked down at me, "He is right about her being a pick me," He pointed out.

I nodded, that much was obvious.

"But I don't understand why he kept texting her..."

"My guess is he didn't realize," Kuroo empathized, "Not to defend him but he can be a bit oblivious to advance like that. Especially since he has you, you're all he thinks about. He didn't realize... hypothetically." He grained, laying his head back down next to mine.

"I just feel so tired," I rubbed my eyes, yawning quietly, "Who knew relationships could be this hard.

"You'll be fine," Kuroo cooed into my ear, now turned on his side, his hand playing with my hair. It felt nice having someone to talk to. Someone I trusted deeply. In my mind, Kuroo was a great listener because he offered other parts to the conversation but he didn't make me feel dumb for the way I felt.

I admired his ability to do that. That's a rare thing to have.

"You'll be fine." He hummed again, his deep voice rumbling in my ears. I lulled off to sleep, my eyes flickering shut as the world faded to black.

My problems temporarily melted away, along with all my thoughts. It was nice.
