[Double update before  i (attempt to) get some sleep]

Kenma's POV:

I arrived home completely exhausted.

If i'm being honest, I haven't been getting the best amount of sleep lately. And then there's volleyball, school, Kuroo..

I headed straight to my bedroom, straight to my bed.

I finally felt relaxed for the first time today when my face hit my pillow, taking in the scent of washing powder from my newly washed sheets.

Just as I thought everything wash fine It just had to be ruined by a ping from my phone.

I groaned whilst sitting up, I just wanted to relax. Forever. By myself. With no disturbances. Nothing to worry about. Not an issue in the world.

But of course, nobody's gonna let that happen.

My phone pinged again, bringing me back to reality. I opened my phone to see 2 new messages from the one and only..

Kuro <3:

Kuro<3:
I want to see you
Meet me?

Kenma:
I'm tired.

Kuro<3:
I'll come to you.

Kenma:
Kuro no. I just want to sleep.

By myself.

I quickly add on the next part to make sure he doesn't say something stupid like 'I can keep you company' or 'i'll keep you warm'. I don't know, but last time we had a 'sleepover' we had shared a kiss, the time before that, we had cuddled. And it's not like I dislike these things, in facts I love them. If it was up to me, I would hug, share kisses, do all couply things with Kuroo for hours on end. But, unfortunately, I can't go around doing that with my bestfriend.

Getting my hopes up each time we would hug, even though I know we'll be nothing more than friends.

That kiss we shared that night replaying in my head, only wanting to kiss him again, even though I know we never will again.

My heart fluttering each time he calls me Kitten, even though I know he means nothing when he calls me that.

All these things that make me fall for him more each day.

Kuro<3:
Pretty please

Kenma:
I literally saw you an hour ago. no.

Kuro<3:
But kenma we hardly get to spend time together at school!

~

That was true. Being in different years meant we didn't share any classes so the only time we'd actually see each other is at lunch and practice. And even in practice it's not like we can communicate much.

~

Kuro<3:
I hardly saw you today

Kenma:
I'm not coming out.

Kuro<3:
Then can I come to yours?

Kenma:
no

Kuro<3:
Whyyy?

Kenma:
I told you, i'm tired

Kuro<3:
...fine. Get some sleep.

Kenma:
Yeah whatever. Bye

~

I locked my phone before I could I could read his reply. It was probably just along the lines of 'bye kitten' so it didn't mater much.

I laid back down, face first onto my bed. I tried getting into my relaxed feeling again, but I couldn't seem to get comfortable.

I don't know why, I was in the exact same position, but no matter how much times I stir in my bed, I wouldn't get comfortable.

Accepting the fact that my relaxing time had officially been ruined, I sat back up, taking out my Nintendo switch.

I played for a few hours, occasionally looking out my window. I turned Kuroo down earlier, but a little part of me thought he was still going to show up. A little part of me hoped that he would show up to my house despite the fact I tolled him not to.

But I guess that part of me was wrong.

He didn't show.

I think...! kurokenWhere stories live. Discover now
