• kenma's pov •

i woke up due to the loud noise of utensils clanking in the kitchen. i groaned and turned to my left, only to find out that kuroo wasn't lying there.

i sighed, closing my eyes, about to drift off to sleep when i suddenly heard a loud clank in the kitchen, followed by someone screaming.

i. hate. my. life.

i groaned and sprang up from the bed, running out of the room. i made my way over to the kitchen, only to find out kuroo standing there, holding an egg in his hand.

i was panting really loudly, and that's what made him turn his head towards me.

"oh, hey kenma!" he chirped, giving me a bright smile. "good morning-" i cut him off.

"what the fuck are you doing here?" i panted.

"uh, oh i was trying to make breakfast-" i cut him off again.

"is that how you make breakfast?!" i shouted, gesturing to the frying pan lying upside down on the floor, the egg white seeping through the little space between the pan and the floor and the broken eggshells lying aimlessly on the floor.

"i don't know how to cook!" he protested.

"then who told you to cook?" i sighed, taking in a deep breath.

i need to calm myself down.

"to make up..." he mumbled something.

"huh?" i asked, raising an eyebrow.

"nothing!" he said. "help me make breakfast-" i cut him off.

"you should rest, your hand is cut," i said, looking down.

he didn't speak for a while so i looked up at him only to find him smirking. my eyes widened. he was up to something-

"aw, was my kenma worried about me?" he said, still smirking.

"shut up," i looked away.

"do you think you're the one at fault for this?" he said, turning on the tap and washing his hands.

"your bandage!" i shouted, running over to him.

"aah!" he screamed, taking his hand out. "i forgot," he giggled, scratching the back of his neck.

he looked like he was in a really good mood today. he was smiling at me genuinely, and i could tell that his giggle wasn't fake either.

just the thought of that made my heart flutter.

lately, just a genuine smile by him makes my heart beat loudly. just the mere touch of his hand in mine sets my heartbeat racing. this is bad. even worse than the previous crush.

i took in a deep breath and dragged him over to where the first aid kit was and did his bandage again.

while i was doing his bandage, i felt him staring at me. when i finally became annoyed, i looked at him and groaned.

"what?"

"you're such a wife," he said immediately, still staring at me with the same expression.

"w-what?" i said, my cheeks flushed.

"one; you're cute. and two; you're caring. you know stuff like cooking and doing bandages. you know how to cope up with my annoying personality too. if i could get married at this age, i would definitely marry you and-" my eyes widened as i remembered something. i cut him off by letting go of his hand and looking away.

i didn't say anything, just packed up the first aid kit and put it away.

"what happened?" kuroo asked at my sudden silence.

"nothing," i bit my lip.

"you're lying," he stated.

"i'm not," i said, biting down on my bottom lip harder.

he grabbed my face in both of his hands, wincing a little as he had to use his injured hand too.

"you are. you always bite your lip when you're lying," he said, putting his thumb on my lip and making me release it from my teeth. my mind went blank and my heart started beating widly once again. "did i make you sad?" he questioned, staring in my eyes.

no... this isn't good.

i looked away but he made me look at him again.

"you..." he breathed, leaning down towards me. my eyes widened. he kept staring in my eyes and i stared back, my heart beating so hard i felt like it'd explode any second. he leaned down, his lips centimeters away from mine.

is he... really doing it?

is he really going to kiss me...?

i don't want him to.

don't.

we can't do it.

stop.

he paused. i looked up at him and he gave me a painful smile as he proceeded to lean down even further towards my lips.

i closed my eyes, thinking he'd do it but he moved a little to the left and kissed me right beside my lips.

my eyes snapped open. i looked at him and he was standing there with a smile. a genuine smile.

and just like that, without a word, he left me standing there.
