Kitten Caretakers -Kuroo Tetsurou x Reader-

You were walking home with one of your friends, and had found two kittens on the side of the road, laying there, helplessly alone, abandoned and cold.

“Oh no! Those kittens don't have an owner, I don’t have enough time because of the music club, what should we do?” Your friend asked looking up at you as you picked up the two kittens, one in each hand. They looked undernourished and about 3 weeks old, even though they were more than likely older.

 At the same time, Kuroo and Kenma were walking home from practice, it being done early that day, and they saw their two friends crouching down by a box on the road, catching the two boys' attention. Kuroo and Kenma approached the two of you, gaining your attention from the two kittens in your arms. Kuroo saw a bright orange tabby kitten on your right arm, and a lighter orange tabby kitten on the other.

“Oh hi Kenma, Kuroo,” your friend waved at the two boys, earning a nod of acknowledgement from the two boys.

“Are those stray kittens?” Kuroo inquired, you nodded in response, glancing down at the kitten on your right arm, “They’re really cute, I want to take one home with me.”

You glanced up at him cautiously, before hesitantly opening your mouth.

“Will you take care of them correctly? They’re undernourished and need a lot of attention, I can take care of mine during my club activities because I’m in the art club and I can just use them as a model,” you quietly questioned and explained, you weren’t shy persay, you just never had much to say to people, sticking to being quiet most of the time and immersing yourself in other worlds. But things change when you're talking to someone who is just as cheeky as you secretly are. Kuroo gave a grin towards you and nodded.

“Yeah! I can do i-”

“No you can’t Kuroo, we have volleyball after school and preliminaries to practice for,” Kenma interrupted, playing on his PSP. Kuroo gave a guilty smile, glancing at you nervously.

“Do you have time to take care of them other than volleyball activities?” you bluntly inquired, holding the kitten in your left arm closer to you. He nodded.

“Yeah, I have really good grades and other than volleyball I just need to study for college stuff, which won’t take too long and I can take care of them during that,” Kuroo was kind of pleading at that point, like a little kid begging their parents to get a puppy for christmas. 

“I mean…. I can take care of them during your club activities, since I don’t have much else to do other than some commissions I got from some people,” you told him, and he had a cheeky grin in response.

“That’d be great L/N, can I have the kitten on your right arm?” Kuroo crouched down to your level too, petting the kitten softly and gently, the kitten rubbing it’s head up into Kuroo’s hand. 

“It seems to like you a lot, you can have it, I like this kitten better anyways,” you responded, nuzzling your head into the kitten's small body, giving it warmth. Kuroo smiled at you, carefully taking the kitten out of your arms, he looked up, to see that the two of your friends had left and walked home together, their houses being in the same direction.

“Huh, I guess Kenma and Sakai-Kun went home, Sakai-kun probably didn’t want to deal with this kitten situation, but I know Kenma likes her, so he probably asked her to ditch us,” Kuroo commented, which made you look up and see the two friends of yours walk away together, a small smile curved up on your lips. 

“No, not just him, Ichika likes him too, that’s why she went with him, it’s funny to see them interact, I think they’d be a great couple together,” you replied, glancing back down at the kitten and standing up, “wanna go get some things for the kittens?”
