With me. || Kuroo X Reader ||

~12~

Um. Hi. It's been a minute.

~~~

The weeks ahead were anything but uneventful.

Every day was a new adventure, a new experience to be made with Kuroo while simultaneously attempting to keep your identities and location hidden. Which, wasn't easy in the slightest. Going to the store was always a hassle, due to the baggy clothes and masks you were forced to wear while also trying to make it look NOT suspicious. So trips the the store were a rarity in the little life you lived.

Kuroo, however, seemed to almost get a kick out of the routine. In his words, "it's like we're in a movie!" Of course, you didn't see it that way. It was more of an inconvenience than anything, but you bit your tongue and let him live out his fantasy.

Waking up next to him every day was a bonus. Your bodies constantly entangled while your clothes lay discarded across the floor and the windows let in the warm sunlight of morning. You really did love it here, with the way the light bounced off the wooden walls and caused a certain orange hue to dance across the room. Of course, you loved him more. And you didn't think anything could ever change that, because he loved you too.

Kuroo made sure to remind you of that every day, with his constant little touches throughout the day to his full-on lustful acts at night, he made sure you knew you were loved, and dammit if he wasn't going to keep telling you in any way he knew how.

That's why one day in particular, when his touches seemed a little more consistent, his hair a bit more messy and his usual talkative self now completely silent, you began to worry a bit.

"Tetsurou?" You questioned, craning your neck to see his messy head of hair laying atop your shoulder while his arms wrapped around your mid-section, his lips parted in giving your shoulder small kisses.

He hummed in acknowledgement, never detaching himself from your shoulder, and a few strands of his hair tickled the side of your neck.

"You alright?" You asked, returning to your task at hand on the stove, the steam from whatever the hell you were making rising through the air and causing just a little more sweat to manifest atop your skin.

He hummed again, now migrating to where your neck and shoulder meet, taking the skin into his mouth before biting down a little too hard for how casual this seemed.

"Okay- ow. Quit it, what's up with you?" Attempting to move away from him wasn't an easy task and you knew it, yet you still tried even as his grip around your torso tightened and he pulled yet another section of your skin into his mouth.

"Nothing." He mumbled as he licked a stripe of your skin and yet again sank his teeth in, this time a little less hard. "I just miss you."

Halting your actions and tilting your head, you tried to move to look at his face, but he remained in his position. "Tetsurou, I'm here all hours of the day with you. How can you miss me?"

He paused now, as if contemplating his answer like it was a difficult question he wasn't expecting to be asked. Tightening his arms around you, he breathed out a sigh and kissed gently at your cheek.

"Doesn't matter. I love you." And with that, he finally detached himself from you. Your eyes followed his figure, hunched over and tiredly moving across the room as his eyes seemed to nervously dart around as well.

"...Tetsurou." You called, earning a glance over his shoulder. "I love you, too."

He smiled at that, the edges of his lips slightly lifting with a tired expression as a small huff left his nose. "Thank you."
