Tetsurou Kuroo, the science geek who had the periodic table memorized since he was in primary. AKA my best friend since we were kids, my name is Kozume Kenma and this is the story of Kuro Tetsurou and me.
Kuro and i have known each other since i can't even remember, Kuro has always been there for me even when i was at my worst. This one time i was actually crying in class and i asked to excuse myself- obviously i went to the washroom. I could hear Kuro's large footsteps following behind me as i walked. He must've followed after me because he knew why i wanted to leave the room- He knew everything about me.. what i liked to do, eat, wear, and even knew what games i liked to play. He was all i could ask for, someone who actually cared. Well, my parents cared- not so much my dad, but my mom was always there for me. She helped me when i was sick and was too weak to stand or even eat.. (not like i do that a lot anyways) She loved me with all her heart. However, her work got so backed up that shes was always tired and rarely had time for me. I never wanted to bother her because she always looked so tired and i had nothing to complain about. She got me everything i wanted- Clothes, limited edition video games, stuffed animals and food. I made her lunch one time but i burnt my hand in the process, which costed us a trip to the ER.. But she appreciated the effort. My mom left early in the morning around 4 so i didn't usually see her off. When i woke up there'd be a small note and a packed lunch, the note would either say "I <3 U" or "Good luck my beautiful boy". Those always made me smile. "Ken, are you alright.?" He spoke which made chills go down my back. I nodded my head lying to him, i didn't like lying to him but i hated when anyone saw me cry, Even Kuro. "Kenma, i know you're lying to me" "I don't know what you're talking about Kuro. I never lie" "Sure you don't. whats wrong ken" i could feel a lump of sorrow and sadness clog my throat causing my voice to be cracked and quiet. "I'm fine" Those words were always a lie in my book.. i could never ever say that to someone without them suspecting something "Are you lying to me kenma?" I couldn't bare it anymore, i dashed out of the stall and Kuro caught me in his arms. "Woah, woah, woah, easy there.. it's alright.. let it out ken" he stroked my hair comforting me as i just sobbed letting everything out. My life was such a mess right now and i had no way of fixing it. My moms been depressed for years, she never talks to me- My father left the picture a while ago and yet i'm supposed to deal with it just like that. My feelings- The one thing i could never understand. I felt safe in his arms.. it was like a warm blanket that was around you making sure no monsters came after you while you slept. It kept you warm when you were cold, it soaked up your tears when you were sad- It cleaned up your hurts when you fell, cut yourself or even just needed to wipe the tears away.
Kuro was my blanket. He saved me so many times.. He introduced me to volleyball where i met a lot of cool friends and he was always there to dry up my tear's, wipe them away, clean up my cuts or keep when warm when i was cold. That's why i loved him so much. He was the greatest thing i could ask for. I'm so happy we made it into the same collage because i don't know what i'd do without him..id probably be gone
-tell me what you think :)
