One-shots

Worried {Tetsurou Kuroo x Y/n(gender neutral)}

(!tw!: Mention of suicidal thoughts, swearing.)

1st person (Y/n's Pov)

A sigh escaped me as I stared at the ceiling with a lost look, as of recently this feeling of loss and uselessness has been starting to overwhelm me. Nobody has noticed yet to my relief, it's a piece of cake to hide something nobody's looking for... for the most part anyway. There are a select few who have a good perception for picking out my emotions.

One of those people happens to be my long time friend: Kuroo Tetsurou. That alone is a pain, but I love him and it'd be more of a pain to push him away; I just hope my luck lasts until this unwanted, unprovoked feeling goes away. "Maybe it's hormones?" No one was there to hear my mumble. It was lunch time and conveniently I found an empty classroom, that's a rare occurrence at Nekoma High for some reason. Or maybe it's just one of those times where my luck isn't so lucky.

Regardless of my thoughts I pondered the lunch in my backpack as I shifted in my chair. Legs up on a desk and hands behind my head, I should eat lunch. It'll be worse later if I don't. My eyes drifted to an outside window lazily, there wasn't anything else telling me to eat so the chances of me actually eating weren't very high. It'd be so easy just to walk out of here and not come back. Mom and Dad are both working so they won't be home to stop me from...

I sat up in alarm at my sudden thought. "Where the hell did that come from?" My throat felt thick and dry, with furrowed brows I pulled out my water bottle and took a swig. Suicide? Thoughts like those weren't exactly uncommon for me but they haven't been so straightforward like that in a while, I relaxed and closed my eyes with a frown.

That doesn't sound so bad. Kuroo has Kenma and Mom and Dad have each other. My hands balled into fists as my eyes started to sting with oncoming tears, but what if it doesn't work the first time? I don't want to be in pain when it happens? I paused when footsteps echoed through the hallway, quickly I dried my eyes and shook my head. This is ridiculous. Of course I can't die, they'd all be really upset. I'm sure Kuroo would be mad too. Or at least very very upset considering everything we have...

"Oh, Y/n there you are!" I grinned upon seeing who I was just thinking about.

"W'sup Kuroo?" He mirrored my grin and stalked closer with a shrug.

"Nuthin' really, I was just wondering where you went," Kuroo pulled up a chair to sit beside me. A more genuine smile etched its way onto my face.

"Peace and quiet is rare around here, I just needed some right now." Kuroo showed a look of understanding.

"I feel you, stuff can get a little too much sometimes. Have you eaten yet?" I glanced back out the window at the clouds and birds, I saw one– a crow, swoop down at something before flying higher out of the window view. Deep down I knew I should tell the truth but at the same time I didn't want him to worry about it.

"Yeah. A few minutes ago, you?" Kuroo nodded with a hum.

"Mhm, I went looking for you after I finished eating." I just nodded in response, a small sense of guilt flowing through me. I never liked lying about anything until now, I still don't like it but to stop him from worrying I lie anyway. "It's crucial to get those nutrients so that you can stay healthy and strong." A little smirk itched its way to the corner of my mouth.

"Nerd," I breathed, stealing a glance his way. He blinked and a stupid grin showed on his face.

"Yeah, and? It's important to know about the human body, since you know. We are humans." I chuckled at his sass, it never fails to brighten my mood just a little bit.
