"There's so many people..." You mutter under your breath as you hide behind Kuroo's shoulder. The minute you three entered the shopping mall, your eyes widened at the huge crowd of people walking around in different directions. When your eyes met someone random you would cling onto your older brother to feel some sort of comfort. "...I should've stayed with Kenma," whimpering you hide your face, still holding onto Kuroo.

Kuroo attempts to push you off of him, "Too bad because you agreed to come, remember??"

You turn to look at Bokuto. The reason why you agreed in the first place. He was in his own world, glancing around back and forth at whatever he saw.

Feeling as though someone was staring at him, he caught sight of you looking at him. He smiles at you and holds his hand out to you. You hesitate to leave Kuroo, but Bokuto would always notice what made you uncomfortable. He knew your boundaries and you knew that as well. Letting go of your brother's shoulder you begin walking towards Bokuto.

You grab onto his hand. He grips it softly, making you feel flustered. "Everything's gonna be okay, Y/n." Bokuto says softly, glancing down at you with gentle eyes.

You gulp as if trying to calm down the nerves you were feeling. This was your first time holding a boy's hand. You could sense your hand burning and it scared you shitless. You loved but hated how Bokuto would treat you; with such gentleness and care.

Realizing your presence was gone, Kuroo glances to his left. Seeing you with Bokuto. His eyes dart to your hands, then back up between you and Bokuto. He couldn't tell if his friend was trying to make you feel less anxious or worsening it by holding hands with you. Kuroo walks over to you both and folds his arms together. "What are you doing Bokuto?" He asks.

"...I was trying to make her feel more comfortable," the owl head says. "I can tell she hates large crowds."

You look at him with wide eyes, "Am I that obvious?!!" You mentally scream.

"Hmm...alright," Kuroo eyes his friend. "Let's look around!"

♡

"LOOK AT ME BOKUTO!!" Kuroo yells from across the store. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses. He strikes a pose at Bokuto, holding up a peace sign and perking his lips.

Bokuto gasps in admiration and responds with a loud, "SHEEEEESH!!!"

You glance back and forth in between them. You're starting to realize that there's no stopping them from hanging out together. Slowly walking away from Kuroo's side, you look around the store you three were in. It had many baggie clothes which you adored very much. They also had different types of manga and art stuff. Walking further into the back of the store, you discover a dress hanging on the rack. It was up for display and it caught your attention.

Dresses weren't your thing, but you thought it was still beautiful. "It would look good on someone else for sure." You whisper.

"And not on you?"

You jump from the voice behind you. Turning around, it was Bokuto who had been standing nearby. He saw the way you were looking at that dress and decided to come talk to you, "You should at least try it on."

You look down at your feet, feeling nervous that he heard what you had said earlier. "I...I'm not so sure..."

"Well, I'm SURE that it would look amazing on you!" Bokuto says smiling at you. "Here, try it on." He grabs the dress from the rack and hands it to you. Taking in a deep breath, you grab the dress and walk inside one of the dressing rooms.

Before you walked in, "Um...Bo?"

Bokuto raises his head and hums for you to continue.

"Could...could you maybe come with...me?" You nervously ask him, biting your lip. Bokuto blushes softly and nods at you, walking beside you inside the dressing rooms. Of course he won't go inside the small room, he'll just be outside the door waiting for you.

"I'll wait for you out here, okay? I promise." He says reassuringly. Nodding your head, you close the door to finally try on the dress. When Bokuto saw the way you looked at the piece of clothing, he became flustered. It was a plain black dress with spaghetti straps. What he did not expect, was that it had a v neck in the front. Meaning you were going to show off some skin.

"I think I'm ready..." You mutter from the other side of the door. "But...close your eyes first."

"Alright! Whatever you say." Bokuto covers his eyes with his hands.

He hears the door unlock and the creak of the door opening. You fold your hands behind your back nervously. "Okay, you can open them now."

He uncovers his eyes and looks at you. He began looking starting from the bottom, making its way to the top. He was about to look at your cleavage when he stops himself. "Erm...Y/n, could you maybe..."

You tilt your head to the side as you see Bokuto looking away avoiding your face. He sighs as he takes off his hoodie, "Here, I'll do it myself." Still avoiding to look at you he hands you his hoodie and tells you to put it on. "I don't wanna make you feel uncomfortable by looking in that area..."

Widening your eyes, feeling your face burn up from his sudden statement. You hurriedly try on his hoodie. It was his Fukurodani volleyball hoodie. It reached up to your knees, and made you feel small wearing it. Bokuto glances down at you and softly smiles at you.

"You look beautiful with both, Y/n. You really are one pretty girl..." He sighs in admiration. "I'll buy it for you. I have a feeling you'll need it one day!" He smiles showing off his teeth.
