"So what are you getting?" Bokuto asked.

"What?"

"For my birthday, of course!"

"You dumba-" Kuroo began before you elbowed him in the stomach.

Hard.

"shut up" you whispered to Kuroo. "WE CANT CHOOSE THERES SO MANY THINGS YOU LIKE!"

"Can I at least use the bimbo as bait?"

You turned around to Kyotani.

"NO"

"Y/n calm down. Your either gonna make Bokuto sad or over excited" Tsukishima stated.

"I AM CALM, YOU CALM DOWN"

These guys.

They didn't shut up. Bokuto was so unpredictable, like was he gonna laugh or cry? WHO KNOWS?
Kuroo just wanted to make fun of everyone in a lighthearted way, but Tsukishima wanted to make fun of everyone in a mean way.
And Kyotani could kill anyone at any moment without warning.

"GODDAMMIT WHY ARE YOU ALL SO EXHAUSTING?" You were on your knees ready to cry, hands over your face.

"Hey we're sorry" Kuroo patted your shoulder.

"No we're not-" Tsukishima chided before getting hit over the head by Kyotani.

You stood up. "Fuck you Tsukishima, if you say one more thing I swear to god I'm gonna take your glasses, push you down a hill and tell you to find your own way home"

"Woah y/n that's a little much" Kuroo was ready to hold you back from attacking Tsukishima.

"No that's fair" Kyotani was ready to back you up.

"HEY GUYS LOOK AT THIS COOL ROCK" Bokuto bounced over to the situation. "Oh, are you guys ok? It looks like some one needs a hug"

Bokuto wrapped his arms around you and you rested your head on his chest (cough cough titties)

You sniffled. "Thank you, I love himbos"

"Me too, wait. What's a himbo?" Bokuto asked.

"Shhhhhhh"

~~~~~~~~~

Four hours in and you guys had gotten over the whole fighting stage. You all sang the entire soundtrack of all the high school musical movies. Even Tsukishima joined in.

It started raining about three hours in. The ground was slippery and your shoes were covered in mud. Nearly all of Bokuto had mud. It was even on his face.
Like the motherly figure you were- wait your not the motherly figure here- Kuroo was the one who wiped the mud off of Bokuto's face.

So cute.

~~~~~~

"About an hour left of walking. We're doing really well guys" you said. You were so happy it was almost over.

You happiness was short lived.

Kuroo slipped.

And last second as an attempt to stay upright he grabbed you.

But you were not a stable anchor and you both fell.

Down.

Far down.

Well not actually that far.

You both fell onto a ledge on the side of the hill.

There was no way to get back up. The drop you guys had fallen from was practically vertical. And it was still raining.

"Ouch"

"ARE YOU GUYS OK?" Kyotani shouted down at you.

"IM FINE" you looked over at Kuroo who was muddy but otherwise perfectly fine. "WE ARE BOTH OK"

"WE WILL GO GET HELP"

"THANKS KYO"

"STAY THERE" shouted Bokuto.

"WASNT PLANNING ON MOVING" Kuroo shouted.

The three boys left to go get help. You looked over at Kuroo.

"Godddammit we're stuck here"

"It's ok" he tried to reassure you.

"I'm cold and tired"

"Come here"

"What"

He had his arms outstretched.

"Come here, body warmth or something" he blushed.

"K science nerd"

"I'm not a nerd"

"Whatever you say"

Your back was against his chest, you lay back onto him. He was actually pretty warm.

"Hey y/n don't fall asleep on me"

"Don't worry I won't, you aren't that comfy."

"Meanie"

"Awwww it doesn't count cause I'm like half your height"

"That's not how it works"

"It is now"

Kuroo sighed.

You could feel his chest rise and fall with his breathes. It was relaxing.

His arms were nice and strong. They felt comfy around you.

Kuroo rested his chin on your head.

You felt so tired....

"You asleep y/n?"

You didn't answer, you weren't asleep but you weren't awake enough to answer him.

"What kind of fucked up reverse harem shit did you get me involved in?"

What did he mean?

Harem?

There's no harem

Only ✨women✨

.....

.......but seriously?

Does that mean........

......he likes me?

and that......

.....he knows other people who like me?

You always thought you were way below average but maybe they were into personality?

That can't be right.

You have a shit personality too.

"Kuroo?"

"Oh fuck you're awake?"

"Ya....what do you mean by all that?"

"Ummmm so...."

You turned to face him. He was flustered, he scratched the back of his neck.

"I don't know how to explain with words"

"Then don't use words"

Kuroo leaned forward, he cupped your face with his hand.

"Damn boi you got big hands"

"FOR FUCK SAKE Y/N"

He pulled back.

"WHAT DID I DO KUROO?"

"nothing never mind"

You just realised what he was going to do.

"Ohhhhhh"

"You realised?"

"Damn I'm really slow"

"Yup"

"Whoops sorry bro"

"You're an idiot y/n"

"Hmmm I know"

You fell back into his arms, he really is comfy.

"Hey Kuroo?"

"Would you really have kissed me?"

"That was the plan"

"Why?"

"What?"

"I mean look at me, I'm a gremlin on steroids who happens to be good at volleyball"

"And...?"

"How could anyone like that?"

"There's so much more to you than that but that's one of the things I love"

"Really?"

"Ya, you have incredible team spirit, you look after your friends like a lot. Your ready to fight for them at all times. You always say what's on your mind and you put everyone before yourself."

"I-"

"That's why so many people like you. You don't look after you so they want to be the one to be there for you."

"I never thought of it that way"

"If you don't look after yourself who will? Well that's what most people think. So they look after themselves first. You look after everyone."

"Kuroo...."

"And you are all about fairness and honour. You know all the boys talk about you. Karasuno think your the best thing since sliced bread."

"Thank you Kuroo."
Tears fell down your cheeks. You always struggled with self hatred. Being bullied as kid had a lot to do with it. Your parents weren't there to help you with that. It was always "you should toughen up". You always looked after others because you didn't feel like you were worth being looked after. You always laughed and made jokes to hid it all. Of course you loved all your friends with all your heart but you never realised that you meant that much to them.

"Hey y/n, the help has arrived. Dry your tears ok."

You grabbed Kuroos sleeve and used it as a tissue.

"Hey, ew what the fuck not on me"

"Hehehehehehe sorry" you sniffled.

"Cmon"

~~~~~~~~~

"Goodnight y/n"

"Night yachi"

It was warm back in your room. Not as warm as Kuroos arms but it was nice.
