23: Being In A Relationship

[Miura Sachi]

Being in a relationship with someone who used to be your one true source of annoyance can be quite... unusual.

Kuroo Tetsurou. Oh my God, I love him so, so much, there is no doubt in that, but he is such a pain in the neck sometimes! There are times when I just want to strangle his neck for all the things and pranks he keeps on doing to me.

And one of those times is right now.

I spit out the toothpaste-filled Oreos with disgust, my eyes immediately darting to Tetsurou who already had a cheeky smile as he ran away from me.

"Kuroo! Tetsurou! Come back here this instant! I swear to God I'll end you!" I yelled as I ran after him on their house's stairs. I heard Tetsurou laugh devilishly as a door closed, which I assume is his bedroom door.

I knew there was something wrong when he so casually offered me an open pack of Oreos. We were sitting on their couch in the living room, watching TV. He was trying so hard not to smile, and when I thanked him for the Oreos, he just nodded and watched me take a bite as if he was waiting for my reaction. Turns out, he really had a prank up his sleeve.

Ugh, this idiot!

When I got to the outside of Tetsurou's room, I knocked angrily as I yelled.

"You are so dead! You know I like the Oreo fillings so much and yet you replaced them with toothpaste!"

"See, I put toothpaste as the Oreo filling so you wouldn't have to brush your teeth after eating! It's hitting two birds with one stone, shortcake! Don't be so angry now—" Tetsurou laughed as he shouted from the other side of his door, and I just knocked calmly to interrupt his sentence.

"Tetsurou, open the door," I commanded in a monotone as I stood outside his bedroom door, feeling my face get all red from either anger or frustration.

"Alright, I will. But you have to calm down first," Tetsurou yelled, and I just pinched the area between my brows.

"I am calm. Open. The door," I replied with authority, tapping my feet lightly as I grew impatient. I could feel myself sulking as I thought about how today is our second month of being together, and Tetsurou doesn't even remember.

I was slightly taken aback and tongue-tied when Tetsurou suddenly opened his door and pulled me into his room swiftly, hugging me tight in his arms.

"I'm sorry, shortcake."

He was hugging me so tight that I couldn't move my arms, and my face was buried in his muscular chest. All I could do was inhale his fragrant fresh-off-the-shower scent as I tried to speak.

"You hugging me tight. Can't breathe," I coughed a little, using my index finger to tap his arm. He loosened his embrace a little, leaving room for me to hug him back lightly.

"Let's just stay this way for a little while before I show you something," Tetsurou whispered as he caressed my hair, making me close my eyes at the feeling.

I nestled my head on his chest as I tried to hear his heartbeat.

It's beating erratically. Is he scared or nervous about something? Or do I just have that effect on him?

"Babe, why is your heart beating so fast? Did you do something wrong?" I suspiciously asked, my eyes squinting as I looked up at Tetsurou.
