Conquering the Great King

Chapter 13 Lonely King

"It's hard," Oikawa complained loudly.

Kenma was sitting in Kuroo's lap, knees curled up almost against his chest. "I feel ya man," Kuroo said, tilting his gaze around Kenma's head. "When Kenma is gone during crunch it's tough for me too."

One of their cats jumped on the couch, her long black fur almost making her dissolve in the dark of the room.

Oikawa reached out with his arms, "Come here Zelda," he cooed.

The cat acknowledged him, then turned and walked over to Kenma, curling up in his lap. Kenma slid his thumb lovingly along the top of her head and she closed her eyes, already drowsy.

Oikawa pouted.

"He's almost done though, isn't he?" Kenma asked, eyes not leaving the cat's face.

"Yeah," Oikawa sighed. It had been two weeks since the incident with Kindaichi at the office. They hadn't seen each other much since, but Oikawa was dealing because he had to deal, it wouldn't be fair if he whined to Iwa-chan about it.

"Take solace in that, then. You've done well," Kenma's voice was low and even, his eyes not regarding Oikawa at all.

Oikawa leaned his head back against the couch, "I feel like I have." Then he heaved an exhale, "I'm super horny though, good God."

Kenma shot him a dubious glance from under his eyelashes.

"That's always awful," Kuroo agreed. "Sometimes when Kenma's at the studio for extended hours, I'll call him and just... jerk off to his voice on the phone."

Kenma's face slid lopsided in disgust as he threw a disapproving glance at Kuroo.

"What?" Kuroo asked, shrugging his shoulders, "You have a cute voice." His voice made it sound entirely logical.

Oikawa stared at him, deadpan, "Kuroo, what does it say about you or me that I'm not even surprised anymore?"

Kuroo almost chuckled, lips lilting into a grin, "That we're meant for each other."

"This friendship corrupted my pure heart."

"You were absolutely never pure, you lying bastard."

Oikawa stuck out his tongue and tossed him a wink.

Kenma's chin suddenly tilted up, eyes blinking quickly as he thought. "Wait," he said, "Does that mean that one time... when I called you on break and you asked me to extensively describe my lunch, the room, and everything in it..."

"Yes," Kuroo answered easily. "Definitely."

Kenma crinkled his nose.

Oikawa's eyes moved down to Kenma, "Kenma, why this guy?" Then back up to Kuroo, "Kuroo, Kenma is way too good for you."

"Woah woah woah," Kuroo said, holding up his hands. "I am super aware of that."

Kenma tilted his chin down, but Oikawa could still see the scarlet crawl across his cheeks.

Oikawa felt his lips twitch into a smile. "In any case, I am becoming desperate. I might get to actually see him tonight, though."
