With me. || Kuroo X Reader ||

~8~

Woah two updates in one day go me :D

~~~

The light that invaded through your eyelids caused you to stir, rolling over and pushing your face even more into Kuroo's bare chest, which was pressed tightly against your body. His arms wrapped themselves around your shoulders, pulling you closer as he placed his cheek atop your hair.

After a while, you realized going back to sleep wasn't an option and you attempted to sit up, clutching the sheet in your hand and pulling your legs from Kuroo's.

In the absence of your warmth, Kuroo's eyes snapped open as he reached his hand up and grabbed your chest, pulling up back down to where he laid.

"Ah!" You laughed as he pulled you back into him, his nose pressed against your neck as he placed gentle kisses on the deep purple marks that littered your skin.

"Good morning, beautiful." He said while his lips stilled on a bite mark.

"Good morning, Kuroo." You pushed his hair out of his face, only for those few tufts to come flopping back down over his eye.

"Tetsurou."

"What?" Your eyes flicked downwards to meet his.

"I think you can call me by my first name now." You'd never tire of seeing that same smirk cross his face. It wasn't necessarily cocky, just a crooked smile that made butterflies erupt in your stomach.

"You better stop looking at me like that, Tetsurou." You chuckled and pushed his face away while simultaneously sitting your body upwards. A loud groan erupted from your throat as you stretched your arms upwards, your body sore and worn out from last night's activities.

"And you better quit it with those noises." He winced as he sat up, his back pressed against the coldness of the wall behind him.

"You're gross, I was just stretching." Your face contorted and grimaced while you made your way to the bathroom, shutting the door and hearing a small chuckle from Kuroo on the other side.

Quickly, you stripped yourself of your clothing, throwing it down on the floor by the sink and making your way towards the shower.

You stopped in your tracks when you caught sight of yourself in the mirror. Your skin was littered with love bites and dark purple and green marks all up and down your neck, shoulders, and chest. One in specific ached when you placed your fingers on it, though you didn't mind all that much.

You had let yourself be intimate with someone you had only known for a couple weeks, in ways you would've never imagined, and despite how amazing it had been, you couldn't stop the intrusive thoughts from, yet again, stabbing at your brain. You screwed your eyes shut and attempted to shake away the worries, but to no avail.

He could've been just using you.
What if that was his goal all along?
Maybe it was just adrenaline, he didn't actually care about you.

How can you allow yourself to be this happy after what you did?

You found yourself gripping onto the edge of the sink, your fingers aching from being stuck in that position for an extended amount of time. No matter how special he had made you feel, the thoughts continued to flood your mind, washing away any speck of hope that had bloomed.

You took a deep breath through your nose, and looked back into the mirror. Only then had you realized;

You didn't recognize the girl that stared back at you.

Your face was tired, not just from the night before, and it made itself apparent on your features. Your eyes drooped lower than usual, your mouth twisted in a constant frown. In the small time you had been alone, you had changed. And it made you wonder how truly dependent you were becoming on Kuroo, and whether or not it was necessarily a bad thing.
