"It's L/n."

The bedhead's eyes widened at his friend's statement.

"You like her too?!" he suddenly exclaimed.

"Too? Do you...?"

He nodded his head frantically, gladly answering his friend's question. "I don't think that she likes me very much though. She never comes up to talk to me."

"I'm sure she does. I mean, she does hang out more with the second and first years, so you didn't stand a chance to begin with."

"And why's that?" Kuroo huffed.

"I just told you!" Kenma sighed. "Besides, don't you see a problem here?"

"No?"

"I thought you were smart. Do I really have to spell it out for you? We like the same girl."

"Okay and...? You're not making sense here Kenma." he wasn't playing around like he usually did, he was being dead serious. Kuroo didn't see a problem with them liking the same girl, he figured that they could've just shared her, seeing as they were already friends.

"Kuro, listen to yourself. Two guys like the same girl. They both confess. She'll have to pick one!"

"But she's indecisive! Everyone knows that. Can't we just, y'know, share?"

The pudding head looked at him in horror. "Share?" He looked away from his friend, thinking it over. "I mean, I wouldn't mind. But she'd probably think it's weird."

"Maybe she wouldn't. She doesn't talk about things like that, so she could secretly be into it."

"That's true, but..."

"But what?"

"It'd never work."

"Why not? This is getting annoying Kenma," and it was. Kuroo wore an expression of exasperation on his face.

"Because Taketora likes her too."

Kuroo's eyes widened once again. He choked on his own spit, sputtering and struggling to get his next sentence out. "He does? Did he tell you?"

"No, but anyone with two working eyes could probably tell that he does. I'm pretty sure L/n knows as well but just hasn't said anything."

This was Kenma's talent. Not being able to tell when someone likes someone, but being extremely observant. It was true, Y/n did know. She just decided not to mention it in fear of complicating their friendship. She hoped that deep down, her suspicions about the mohawked boy were wrong. She loved Yamamoto, she really did, just not the same way he loved her.

Kuroo looked down, deep in thought. "I don't like that." he finally spoke up.

"Don't like what?"

"That Yamamoto likes L/n."

"We can't really do anything about it. Plus, I'm sure that she doesn't even like him back, so we have nothing to worry about."

"But still. I can't help but feel jealous."

"You better watch yourself then. Don't want anybody to get hurt.

Kenma
l/n can i ask you something?

The h/c haired girl got a message that night from someone who she didn't consider a friend, but certainly wasn't a stranger to her.

Picking up her phone, she unlocked it, going to her messages.

Y/n
sure what's up?

Kenma
i'm just gonna get straight to the point
can we be friends?

i mean, i don't see why not

The multicoloured-haired boy smiled at his phone, relieved that she actually agreed.

Kenma

And that was all. Nothing more was said-

Kenma
oh wait shit

-never mind.

Kenma

Y/n

He decided to copy the notes out later, too preoccupied with other things.

If lying was a sin,

then Kuroo was the king of sinners.

Y/n was taking a walk around the park near her house. Something that she did for fun whenever she was done her homework had now become routine for her.

"L/n, I didn't expect to see you here!"

One

"Oh, hi, Kuroo. I didn't know you lived around here."

"Oh, I don't live too far from here, actually."

Two

"So what are you doing?"

"Just taking a walk in the area. Anyways, I have to go now."

Three

Four

Kuroo told four lies in the span of under a minute.

The lies were simple enough, nothing too complicated. Walking away from the park, he went behind a building. Watching the e/c eyed girl from afar, he pulled out his phone and took some pictures. Nothing out of the ordinary, right? Everyone wants pictures of their crush.

Putting his phone away, he started the walk home.
