BOKUTO'S POV

After changing into pj's Kenma took some of his extra pillows off of his bed, because he had a bunch of throw pillows. He gets into the bed and pulls the covers over his lap, still sitting up right. Kenma looks up at me, his face slightly flushed, as if he was waiting for something.

He's kind of beautiful... Not just kind of... He's really beautiful.

"Bo?" He calls me softly.

I look at him again, feeling my own face heat up a bit.

"Y-yeah?" I ask, flustered from how cute and small he looked in the big bed.

"Aren't you coming to lay down with me?" He asked, shuffling a little under the blanket. I nod quickly and walk around to the other side of the bed, getting under the covers too. I lay on my back, my arms above my head.

"You still have glow in the dark stars on your ceiling?" I ask without thinking. He scooches over a bit so that his head is resting on my bicep. Kenma stares up at the ceiling too.

"Mhm, I kinda like em. They're comforting. And even if I did wanna take em down, I'm too lazy," he laughs and I feel his head turn towards me. I look over at him, our eyes connecting.

"Would it be weird if I asked to play with your hair?" I blurt out, wanting to be close with him right now.

"Would it be weird if I asked to lay on your chest?" He asks in response. I smile a bit, and pull him closer to me by his back.

"Not at all, Ken-Ken," I stare back up at the ceiling, slowly stroking the back of his head. Kenma reaches one of his hands up to rest on my chest near his face.

"Y'know, you're kind of perfect, Bo." I laugh heartily.

"What makes you think that?" I respond while yawning.

"You're muscular, tall, you're amazing at volleyball, like ridiculously amazing, you're beautiful, you're kind, you're energetic, you're funny... You're just perfect, you have like no flaws." Kenma lists these things off, moving his entire body so that he's resting on top of me and looking at my face. I link my fingers together around his waist.

"I'm far from perfect, and everyone has flaws. If there was someone in this world who was flawless, it would be you," I rub circles onto the small of his back with my thumbs, my hands still laced together.

"Me? Flawless? No way Bo," he giggles and places his hands under his chin, still laying his head on my chest. The giggle causes my heart to flutter and I feel like I'm going to die.

"Yes way. Even though you have a hard time showing it, you care so much about the people around you, you're amazing at basically everything you do and you barely even try, you're effortlessly gorgeous, and your laugh brightens up my whole world," I smile up at him, cupping his face in my hands.

"Well that was just cheesy," Kenma swats my chest playfully and turns his head away, I think I noticed a slight blush, but I didn't want to assume anything.

"Yeah? Well I'm a cheesy guy so deal with it Ken-Ken," I laugh and put one hand onto his back again and continue playing with his hair.

It's silent for quite a while, but it's a nice silence. I can hear Kenma's small breaths, and it's somewhat relaxing.

"I'm not perfect at all... There's a lot of flaws in me," he sighs and looks back up at me.

"Oh yeah? Like what," I respond, doubtful.

"Well, I'm not very nice, I have social anxiety, I don't eat properly all the time, and I'm always cooped up in my room when I'm not playing volleyball... There's a lot of thing I don't like about myself... " Kenma admits, talking softly. I sit up, lifting Kenma up as well so he's sitting in my lap, somewhat straddling me.

"I'm really happy that you trusted me enough to tell me this Ken-Ken. And it's okay if you don't like yourself right now, you'll learn to love yourself eventually. Just remember that Kuroo, Akaashi, Me, and your family all love you just the way you are," I have both my hands on his hips, rubbing them slightly in hope to soothe Kenma.

"Thanks Bo, I really appreciate that," he smiles and wraps his arms around my neck. I hug him back, wrapping my arms tightly around his waist. Breathing in the scent of his shampoo as I nuzzle into his shoulder, I sigh, enjoying the embrace.

He pulls away eventually and suggests we lay back down. I oblige and we lie down, resuming our position from earlier of Kenma resting his head on my chest, and me having one arm wrapped around him.

I have never felt as comfortable with someone as I do with Kenma right now. Which is surprising because we don't even know each other all that well.

... I have feelings for him... I love Kenma...

Admitting that to myself made me feel somewhat completed, and having the boy I loved snuggled up under my arm only made that feeling stronger. I want to protect Kenma with everything I have for the rest of our lives. Even if he doesn't like me romantically, I want us to stay together.

"Goodnight Bo, sweet dreams," he mumbles, sleepily, moving his body closer to mine. I smile down at him, even though he can't see it.

"Goodnight Ken-Ken, sweet dreams," I whisper back, tucking some loose hair behind his ear.

I lay quietly for a minute, not really falling asleep. When I look down at Kenma I feel my face start burning up. Seeing him laying there asleep was probably the most adorable thing I've ever seen. I take a picture, making sure not to wake him up with the flash, and set the photo as my lock screen.

Thinking for a minute, I decided that I do want to and it should be okay, and I lean down and kiss him gently on the forehead. Feeling satisfied, I lay down and pull Kenma a little closer to me, although our bodies are already completely touching.

"Sleep well Ken-Ken, you deserve the world, and I want to be the one to give it to you," I say softly, before eventually drifting off to sleep.
