Denial | KuroKen Fanfiction

... Do I?

"Wooh! That was a great match!" Bokuto exclaimed, throwing his arms in the air.
"Yeah! Too bad you guys lost!" Kuroo exclaimed, a huge grin on his face.
Bokuto scoffed and stuck his tongue out at Kuroo, bringing his arms back down to his sides.

"Settle down," Akaashi said, interlocking his arm with Bokuto's.
"We'll win next time, just you wait Kuroo, you won't know what hit you,"
Kuroo grinned.
"Love seeing your competive side Akaashi," Kuroo said.

I was silently walking beside them.
... I was not doing my best during the match, so I'm surprised we won. Akaashi seemed to be on his A-game, Bokuto went into his emo-mode once before Akaashi helped lift his spirit and Kuroo seemed super cheerful.
So... I think Kaede may have said yes to being Kuroo's girlfriend...

"Oh, Kenma are you okay?" Akaashi questioned, snapping me out of my thoughts.
I looked over at him.
"Huh? Yeah, I'm fine," I shrugged.
Akaashi looked concerned but didn't ask any more questions.

Bokuto frowned and looked at me.
"Are you okay though? You were so off during the match..." Bokuto said.
"I'm fine, I just... it's been a long day," I said.
Bokuto nodded.

"Well, now you get to hang out with your best buddies!" Bokuto exclaimed, giving me a huge grin.
I felt my lips curl up into a small smile.
"Yeah," I nodded.

"What are we going to do once we get to your place Kenma?" Akaashi questioned.
"Uh, well we could play a few games," I shrugged.
"Sounds good!" Bokuto exclaimed.

"Kuroo! I'm totally kicking your ass!"
"Oh really now? How many times have you won against me before?" Kuroo questioned, in a teasing tone.
Bokuto huffed and his hair went floppy, indicating he was upset by Kuroo's comment.

"Yeah, and how many times have you won against me?" Akaashi questioned, looking at the the raven-haired boy.
Kuroo stayed silent and quietly mumbled a, "never..."

Akaashi seemed to interlock fingers with Bokuto and rubbed the back of his hand with his thumb. He was trying to make the older male feel better.
... Were those two a couple?

I shook my head, snapping out of my thoughts. I shouldn't assume anything. Akaashi and Bokuto have always been close, so it really isn't out of the ordinary if they became closer.

"I'm home! Kuroo, Akaashi and Bokuto are here!" I called.
I began to take off my jacket, as did the other three.
"Your mum is home?" Akaashi questioned.
I looked at Akaashi.
"Yeah, she had work this morning," I nodded.
Akaashi nodded and hummed quietly.

"Ohh! We've never met Ms Kozume before!" Bokuto exclaimed.
I furrowed my eyebrows, "You haven't? I thought you guys did?"
Akaashi and Bokuto nodded.
"Huh..."

"Speak of the devil," Kuroo said.
I looked over and seen my mother.
"Ah! Hello Tetsuro!" My mum exclaimed, coming over and hugging him.
"Heyyy," Kuroo said.
"You're looking good Ms Kozume!"
"Awh, thank you dearie," My mum smiled, pulling away from Kuroo.

My mum looked at Bokuto and Akaashi. The two of them were holding hands, Akaashi was squeezing Bokuto's hand tight.
My mum glanced up and down and smiled.
"Are you two boys a couple?" My mum questioned.
Akaashi's cheeks turned red, as did Bokuto's.

"Ma! That is so rude!" I scowled, feeling embarrassed.
"No, no it's fine Kenma," Akaashi said.
Bokuto seemed confused and looked at Akaashi. Akaashi gave Bokuto a small nod.
Bokuto smiled and looked at my mum.
"Yes, Keiji and I are a couple," Bokuto said.

My mum smiled, "That's wonderful!"
"It's great to meet you, Bokuto and Akaashi,"
"Pleasure is all ours ma'am," Akaashi said, slightly bowing.
"No need to be formal! I'm glad I got to meet some more of Kenma's friends," My mum said, shooting me a small glare.
"What? At least I'm not friends with just Kuroo," I shrugged.
My mum sighed and ruffled my hair.
