haru says, parking his car right in front of the plaza. "i will," you nod and grab your stuff, getting out and shutting the door behind you. your elder cousin smiles, "call me when you're done, i'll pick you up." you nod and blow him a kiss goodbye until he calls out, "oh, and y/n!" you turn around, raising a brow, "what's up?"
he's got a serious look on his face, features contorted in worry. "just. . . be careful, okay?" you blink, "what do you mean?" haru's about to speak when the cars behind him get impatient and start honking their horns, frustrated at the wait-up. "boys can be dumb sometimes, and you know what happened last time-"
you cut him off. "don't worry about that." you laugh and dismissively wave a hand in the air, "i trust tetsu." blowing you a kiss back, haru rolls up his windows and drives off.
you're about to turn around when you feel a weight on your head and hear a familiar voice chuckle, "ohh~ so little miss y/n trusts me." you sigh in relief, "fucking hell, tetsurou." you breathe out. "i thought some rando was resting their head on mine and i was about to whack you in the balls with my bag."
he shifts, the weight on your head gone as he stands in front of you instead, a lazy grin painted on his features. "so you'd make an exception if it was me, huh?" you sigh and begin to walk ahead, leaving him behind. "you're insufferable." you call over your shoulder, "just try to keep up."
"right," kuroo catches up with you, linking his hand with yours and slowly swinging it back and forth, "so what do you wanna do?" you hum, "whatever you wanna do." he glances at you, "well, i wanna do what you wanna do." you laugh, "but what i wanna do is what you wanna do so tell me what you wanna do 'cause that's what i wanna do."
he blinks. "you got me." you just snicker, "you didn't actually think you could outsmart me, did you?" he rolls his golden eyes, "pleaaseee," he smirks, "you want to see who's smarter - just check our science grades."
you narrow your e/c eyes at him, "i absolutely hate you, kuroo tetsurou." the taller boy leans in and mimics your earlier statement; "I tRuSt TeTSu, dOn'T wOrRy aBoUt It." you're about to respond with a witty remark when your eyes land on someone very familiar staring right back at you. "fuck." you hiss, turning away.
the bedhead frowns at your nervous expression as he realises your grip on his hands is tighter and you seem to be trying to leave the plaza. "y/n." he stops, and you turn around to look at him. "is everything okay?" you nod, "yeah, everything's fine. um. . . c-can we leave? i don't feel like, you know, we can go. . . somewhere else? please??"
something's wrong, he thinks, very fucking wrong if y/n is stumbling over words 'cause if there's one thing she's good at - it's finding the right words.
kuroo looks down at your intertwined hands, golden eyes swirling with a look you can't really put your finger on. "you know if somethings wrong, you can tell me, right?" you nod, e/c eyes looking everywhere but him, "i know, i'm sorry but can we please just leave. i-"
"long time no see, y/n." a smooth voice interrupts the two of you.
kuroo watches your eyes widen and feels your fingers dig into his skin, your hand slightly shaking. he looks up at the boy standing a few feet away from you both snakes his arm around your shoulders, pulling you closer to him. "who are you?" he asks sweetly, giving the strange boy a closed-eye smile.
the other boy returns the gesture, "i'm an old friend of y/n's." kuroo eyes him up and down, visible disgust in his eyes, but a sickly sweet smile on his lips. he has short blonde hair and his dull green eyes are fixated on you, kuroo notices. "stay away from her." is all he says before turning around and walking away.
the other boy calls out to you, "did you miss me, baby?" you say nothing and the two of you keep walking away until the blonde grabs your arms and before you can even react, kuroo lets go of you and throws a punch to his face, knocking him to the ground as blood drips down his chin. you blink, feeling dizzy.
the blonde boy on the floor giggles, "and who are you supposed to be?" kuroo crouches down, "i'm her boyfriend." he lies, "and i'd appreciate if you never came near y/n again." the other boys emerald eyes narrow, as he licks the blood off his lips, "and what are you going to do about it?" kuroo stands up, "'if i see you again," he says. "i'll kill you."
kuroo gently takes your hands and leads you away from the other boy, he has a hundred - no, a billion questions - but right now he needs to know you're okay. he sits you down on a bench and cups your face with his hands so softly, as if the slightest pressure will break you. "are you okay, y/n?"
you try to focus on his golden eyes but your head is spinning with memories of the blonde boy and his green eyes staring at you, looking down on you, smooth voice taunting you as tears fell down your cheeks and he kissed them away; "no one will ever love you, except me."
you blink, leaning into his chest. "i'm. . . i'm fine." you manage, and for the first time since kuroo tetsurou has met you, all those months ago during nekoma high schools orientation day, he sees you cry.
but he says nothing, only holding you close on the broken bench of a bustling plaza. "hey," he whispers. "it's gonna be alright. you're - we're okay. everything's gonna be fine."
and you let yourself believe him.
