The cat, the owl, the human tangerine among others

Kitten crush

"Bokuto I need a landscape." Kenma spoke into the headset. "Something without tress, no mountains either. Maybe hills." He informed the man on the other end of the call.

"So Lord of the Rings?" The confused voice asked.

"Yeah, yeah, like the journey where Aragorn finds out the orcs took the hobbits." Kenma stated genuinely surprised the spiked haired man figured it out so quickly.

"Alright, not a problem. I can get it to you by the end of next week. I'll be in the office that Friday. Is that good?" He asked.

"Perfect. Make it a thirty minutes set we can loop it throughout the game." Kenma told him.

"On it boss!" Bokuto cried. Kenma snorted a laugh as he hung up. He loved the over excitable frosted tipped male. He was a year older than Kenma but insisted on calling him boss.

"Hinata?" Kenma called out. There wasn't an answer. Not surprising. The tangerine often did his job with headphones on. He was easily distracted. Kenma got up. He walked out into the hall looking up and down. He saw no sign of any other workers. Sighing he walked down to the next room.

Opening the door he peered in. There he was. Kenma's best friend, Shoyo Hinata. The guy was only a few inches taller than Kenma himself. He was sitting cross legged on a huge blue pillow. The huge TV was the only light on. Shoyo was playing Kenma's newest completed game. As his main tester, Shoyo was amazing at finding bugs in the system.

Kenma walked up to him. Standing behind him he watched the game play. It was a Wizarding adventure game. You could cast spells while protecting your homestead, or you could go on journeys where you could set up online play and build your adventuring team. It looked like Shoyo was playing the mage for his team. Kenma had people all over the world testing his games. He wanted to make sure the languages were correct as well as the game itself.

"Shoyo?" he said as he touched the man's bent shoulder. Hinata jerked. On screen his spell went wide and he nearly got trampled by a boar. Another member of the team stepped into distract the wild pig.

"Sorry, boss man is in the room. Brb." Hinata said into his mic. He turned to Kenma slipping the headset off.

"Hey what's up?" he asked. The blonde sank to the pillow next to Hinata. He leaned back against the other.

"It's him. I had another dream. Have you seen him yet today?" He asked.

"Uh, no, but um, what time is it?" Hinata asked. Kenma frowned he pulled his phone out, it was just after seven.

"Oh, he isn't in yet." Kenma sighed. He had a crush on his new assistant. It was beginning to affect his daily life. He had told Shoyo about it only a week ago.

He recalled the day the man came in for an interview. Honestly, the only reason Kenma even offered an interview to him was because he came highly recommended, if you can take Bokuto's recommendation as high. Bokuto had gone to school with the guy in middle school. They had played volleyball together. A sport Kenma knew a few things about since Shoyo was big into it. In high school the two, Bokuto and Kenma's assistant, had remained friends. Although they played on different teams they managed to keep their rivalry of the sport on the court. Their friendship remained strong.

Tetsuro Kuroo was, according to Bokuto, a very smart person who is detailed driven. Kenma was sure Bokuto got the last from the advertisement of the position. Kenma had decided to offer the guy, who was a year older than Kenma as well, an interview.

The person that walked in the door was nothing like Kenma had assumed a friend of Bokuto's would be like. Tall, muscular with hair that are him look like he just got out of bed. Apparently they liked to spike it as much as the volleyball, Kenma had claimed later. Tetsuro Kuroo was indeed smart.
