Nekoma's Manager (Bokuto x OC)

Just to Be Clear

I wake up to an alarm going off somewhere nearby. Groggily, I peel my eyes open. Damn, it's been forever since I slept this long and this deeply. Once the cloudiness left my vision, I see what, or in this case who, was the reason for my good sleep. Bokuto. Still sleeping like a baby and completely ignoring his phone alarm.

I reach across him and turn it off. I'm about to shake him awake when I stop myself. He looks so peaceful and vulnerable like this. His hair is strewn across his face instead of gelled up like it usually is. It's so.. attractive.

Resting my head on my left hand, I use my right hand to comb through those black and white locks. His hair is so thick and kind of coarse but I enjoy the feel of it. Staring at his sleeping face, it was at that moment that I knew. I knew that I liked this boy. I mean, really liked this boy. Well, f*ck.

He stirs in his sleep and his arm reaches out to take hold of my back, pulling me closer like a kid does with a stuffed teddy bear, causing me to gasp.

He then proceeds to snuggle his face into my chest and I say, "Whoa there, tiger."
Bokuto's left eye opens, followed by the other. I expect him to jump back at our close contact but instead he smiles and says in a deep, husky, just-got-up voice, "Morning."

"Morning to you, too. We should probably get up before people notice we never slept in our rooms," I reply.

"MMmmph.. let me just hold you for 1 more minute." he says sleepily.

"Fine, I'll allow it." I say, continuing to stroke his hair. Mentally I count down the seconds, while at the same time praying to God to let this moment last forever.

But of course, time didn't stop for me and I stirred Bokuto again.

"C'mon sleeping beauty. Time's up." I say into his ear.

He grunted, "Gghrish meh.."
"Hm, what was that?"

He turned his face up to me. "Kiss me. Then I'll get up I swear."

I freeze. For a second. Then I guide his face to mine, touching my lips to his extremely soft ones. The kiss deepens and he pulls me closer.

I want to keep going but-

RINNNGGGG! His phone alarm went off again. That was kind of rude, I think to myself. But at least now we are both alert and can go back downstairs before others wake up.

"Ah crap. Ok, Kotaro you go back first. QUIETLY. I'll come down like 5 minutes later so we aren't seen together if anyone is up." I instruct.

"Yes, ma'am. I love a woman who takes charge!" Bokuto says, now fully awake and energetic.

Bringing the sleeping bag with him, he opens the door that leads into the building when he stops. He turns around and says, "Oh, by the way. If you couldn't tell.. I like you. Just wanted to make that clear."
I laugh. "Haha, why thank you for telling me. I had no idea. And for the record, I like you too. JUST to be clear."

He visibly beams 10x more and drops the bag. He runs to me, grabbing both sides of my face and gives me another passionate, long kiss.

Picking the sleeping bag up again, he waves at me and disappears inside.

Damn, that just happened. My lips burn from his touch and I hope the redness in them and my cheeks don't give me away about what I was doing on the rooftop last night and this morning.

As promised, 5 minutes later I pad as quietly I can down the stairs as I can. There are a few creaks here and there but not enough to wake anyone. I'm about to let out a deep breath when I turn the corner and run right into a wall.

Wait, huh? There shouldn't be walls around corners. Who the hell designed this place?

But instead of a wall, what I had run into was none other than Kuroo.

"Yo, PinkU-san. You're up early." he says.

"I- oh hey Kuroo. Yeah, I'm an early bird, you know that." I reply.

"And YOU know that so am I. I was up before Bokuto came tiptoeing into our room. And I know for a fact he does not like getting up at the break of dawn."

I try to feign surprise and say, "Oh is that so? Hm maybe he had to use the restroom or something."

"Uhuh nice try, Y/N. Were you with him?" He pauses and takes in my reddening face. "Ah, I guess you were."

Damn my cheeks. Damn my body's stupid affinity for blushing.

"No! That's absurd, stop making things up! Don't put words into my mouth and make up nonexistent situations." I try to deflect. I attempt to put on my angry face while crossing my arms but Kuroo seems to see right through it. We have only known each other for a few months but somehow we are able to know each other like we've been friends for years. I let out a breath. "Ugh.. fine. Yes, YES. I was with him last night and we ended up falling asleep. JUST sleeping, mind you. If you tell anyone I swear- "

"Relax, PinkU-san. I won't tattle." he smiles and puts his hand over his heart jokingly. "It just hurts that my own friend doesn't trust me."

I roll my eyes and laugh out of relief. "How can I ever trust you?" I nudge his shoulder. "I'll see you later."

"See ya, owl lover," he replies.

I stick out my tongue like a child and we part ways.

I'm trying to make the chapters shorter. This ain't a novel so who do I think I am. Hope this makes it easier and more enjoyable to read.
