Kōtarō Bokuto

Title: I Love You

= Y/N POV =

I was home alone with Bokuto. We were watching a late-night romance movie. It was around 12 a.m. and I felt hot. So, I asked Bokuto to open the door. He walked to the door and opened it only to scream in horror.

I jumped to my feet and ran to him. "WHAT'S WRONG?! ARE YOU OKAY KO??!!" I panicked. He just pointed outside with wide eyes. I looked out to see a dark figure waiting at my house gate. I looked through my gate and saw the figure's black hair covering their eyes and was wearing black sweatpants and a jacket.

A shiver ran down my spine. Bokuto pulled me behind him and shakily closed the door and locked it.

We closed all the blinds and locked all windows both upstairs and downstairs. We just peeked through one of the windows in the front of the house and saw the figure had disappeared. We sighed in relief when suddenly there was a loud banging at the door.

"AhAhHhHhHHhHhHhHHhHHHHHHHHHHHHhH-----" Bokuto and I scream as I grip him tightly. He tightened his grip around my waist. The banging was persistent and loud. Suddenly, there was a dead silence.

We heard a jingle of a bell coming from the back of the house. The jingling was getting louder as it neared us. At this point, I was quivering in fear.

"HO, HO, HO, SANTA'S HERE." He heard a deep and creepy voice say as a bloody Santa's face peeked into the living room. Bokuto screamed and picked my paralyzed body up before running up the stairs to my bedroom as fast as he could.

He closed the door, hid under my study table and pushed in the chair to conceal us. He pulled me closer to his chest and just rubbed my back in an attempt to calm me down. As my head was leaning against his chest, I could hear his heartbeat rate increase.

'He's so scared but he is focused on calming me down?' I thought clearly despite my fear. I calmed down a little knowing that Bokuto loved me that much.

I looked up to see a tear flow down his face as he was shaking. I kissed him on his cheek. He looked at me startled. "I love you, Kōtarō," I say stroking his cheek in an attempt to calm him down.

He was about to reply when the door slowly creaked open. My heart was racing a mile a minute. I gripped his shirt as the figure sat down on my study table. "What a sweet couple. I bet your blood tastes much sweeter," the figure said as their bloody Santa face peeked under the table.

Bokuto and I screamed as he pulled me into his chest and closed his eyes. Suddenly, we heard a chuckle. Both of us slowly opened our eyes to see a smiling Kuroo holding the bloody Santa mask in his hand.

"April Fools, Bokuto and Y/N!!" he laughed hysterically. My eyes teared up, my heartbeat finally calmed down and my shoulders released its tension. Bokuto looked at me and wiped my tears away, hugged me and whispered comforting words to me.

Once I calmed down, Bokuto got out of the cramped space and started chasing Kuroo around the house. "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU! YOU SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF Y/N!!!" He shouted as he chased after the black-haired boy.

"Only Y/N? Don't worry, I took a picture of you, too. Wanna see?" Kuroo teased, making Bokuto more agitated.

I grabbed Bokuto and asked him to calm down. He just pouted and protested. "But he scared us and didn't even say SORRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY," he whined. I giggle at his childish behaviour. "It was a prank, Ko. Relax," I say hugging him and pecking his nose.

"Heh, thanks Y/N," Kuroo said rubbing his neck and nearing us. "Sorry if I scared you guys a little too much though," he apologized. I smiled, "It's fine Tetsu. Just don't scare Ko again, or else I'll make you shit your pants," I say sweetly, a smile plastered across my face making the taller boys shiver.

"Alright, I'll go then," Kuroo said, exiting the house. We just stare at the now-closed door. "I love you too, Y/N," Bokuto suddenly says. "I didn't manage to reply just now," he explained, giving me a kiss.

I smiled into the kiss and hugged him. He hugged me and deepened the kiss. We broke apart. "I remember when Kuroo first pranked us. That's actually how we first met," I reminisced. 

- FLASHBACK -

Kuroo asked his friends, Y/N and Bokuto, to meet him at the park one day. They didn't know each other at that time. While waiting for Kuroo, Bokuto encountered a snake. He started screaming and climbed up a tree.

"Are you okay? It's just a hose," Y/N called out from below. That's when Bokuto clearly saw the hose with googly eyes glued to the tip. His face turned red from embarrassment and rage when he saw Kuroo laughing behind a bush.

"KUROO!!!"

- END OF FLASHBACK -

We laughed remembering how Kuroo would prank us every year regardless of whether we were just friends or more than friends. Kuroo was how we met. We really owe him a lot...
