First Year at Nekoma High - Kuroo and Kenma x FemReader

Part 10

On your way home from the train station, you stopped by the store to get ingredients for dinner with Kenma tomorrow. You weren't a bad cook, but you hadn't had much practice baking, so you stayed up late trying to perfect the short crust pastry needed for apple pie. Happy with the finished result you put it in the fridge and went to bed.

The next morning you tidied your room and got the study table out again. Your stuffed animals and body pillow were back on your bed. You'd already told Kenma you'd bought the pillow so there was no point hiding it from him. You liked that you could be more yourself with him and didn't have to sensor what you liked, it was so much easier hanging out with him than Kuroo.

When Kenma arrived, he rang the bell and you headed downstairs to let him in. He was stood back from the door stroking your neighbour's cat on the wall between the two gardens. You smiled and stepped out to join him.

"That's fat Louis" you told him, scratching the plump tabby under the chin. The cat meowed then jumped off the wall and waddled away. "He'll be friends with anyone if he thinks you'll feed him."

Kenma laughed, you loved that sound. It was very rare you heard it. He came inside and you showed him up to your room asking if he wanted a drink. He said he'd settle for an ice coffee since you didn't have any energy drinks.

You went downstairs and made a jug full of milky coffee with ice and caramel sauce before bringing it and a couple of glasses back up to your room. When you opened the door Kenma was sat on the end of your bed holding your Bulbasaur plushie.

You smiled, "He's my favourite Pokémon." You put the coffee down on the table and poured it into the glasses.

Kenma put down the stuffed toy and joined you at the table. "Mine too." He said.

You talked about Pokémon for a bit then got down to studying. You started off easy with Japanese and then moved onto English. After a while your stomach began to growl, and you went down to the kitchen to fix dinner. You decided to just use up the leftovers from Friday night rather than make anything new. Kenma seemed more than happy with the reheated Teriyaki Chicken, and you had what was left of the Mapo Tofu with some fresh rice. Then you went back to studying.

By 8pm you'd covered pretty much every subject that would be on the exams and were feeling pretty confident that you'd do well tomorrow. So you suggested you both take a break and have some of the apple pie you'd made.

You cut a slice for Kenma and put some ice cream with it, then got yourself a slice. His eyes lit up as he took his first bite.

"This is really good; did you make it yourself?" he said taking another bite eagerly.

"Umhum, yeah, I made it last night. I'm glad you like it. I don't get to bake very often so I wasn't sure I'd do a good job." You said twiddling your hair in your fingers again.

"I think you're great. At baking, that is. Not that you're not great too. I mean of course you are." He'd gone pink in the face and so did you at his compliment. You finished your pie in a slightly embarrassed silence then you asked if he wanted to watch a movie or something as a treat for getting so much studying done.

"Yeah Ok." He said handing you his empty plate. You washed up quickly and he helped dry the dishes then you both went back to your room and turned on the TV.

After browsing Netflix for a while, you eventually settled on Howl's Moving Castle. You'd both seen it before, but it was one of your favourite Ghibli films. The two of you sat on your bed amongst your soft toys and you hugged your body pillow as you settled back into the cushions together.

You woke up the next morning to your alarm blaring again. You were glad you'd set it earlier than normal ready for exam days to make sure you weren't late. But the noise was still unwelcome.
