Kuroo pov ch.18 -

I sighed before grabbing onto the surprisingly stable ladder. It was more stable than Kenma and i's relationship at least.

I slowly climbed making my way up before pulling myself up into the platform.

(wow..)

I couldn't tell if I was more shocked by how big the tree house was and how much furniture it had, or the fact that I was really standing here watching Kenma put his hair in a ponytail.

I know that's why he said he had brought them but still. Fuck did he look good.

Kenma looked up his eyes meeting mines.
"Something wrong?"

"Oh um. No.. just haven't really seen you with your hair up.."

The smaller boy shrugged his shoulders sitting down on one of the bean bags that lay in the room.

He sat criss crossed and I watched as his eyes wandered around the room.

I let my eyes do the same and made my way over to a small couch noticing it was a pull out one to make a bed.

"Wow.. whoever built this thought of everything huh"

I said out loud getting no response. I leaned down pulling out the 'bed' and plopped down on top of it.

I mentally sighed. (Kenma wasn't kidding.. and I knew that of course but I just wish we could talk it out so we can fix this. Remember Kuro he likes you! Or at least liked you.)

I looked up at Kenma at coincidental timing cause it looked like he had something to say.

"Um Kuro. We should.. talk..."

My fave heated up immediately. (Stupid stupid stupid calm down he just said he wanted to talk.)

"Sure I agree. Uhh what'd you wanna talk about?.."

The smaller boy shrugged fiddling with his thumbs.
"what have you been up to lately I guess."

I scratched the back of my head humming.
"This probably sounds stupid but honestly nothing... if you want the truth my life revolves around you and you alone Kenma."

I heard the kitten huff in response slightly smiling.
"Yeah I get it, my life revolves around you too."

We both shared small laughs in the treehouse until it was time for dinner when I carefully led Kenma back to where we were staying.

We went back inside with made progress, more than we we had left it.

Kenmas mom asked us to join them for dinner and we all ate. Unlike the car ride here it wasn't as awkward thankfully but still I had a lot more work to do.

We went back into the room after we finished and cleaned up. I went digging in my bag for some pajamas while Kenma did the same.

I took out a simple pair of long black shorts and a tank top.

"I'll go change in the bathroom Kenma."

The other boy nodded in response still searching por pajamas.

"Ok"

I walked away into the bathroom and locked the door behind me. I mentally slapped myself in the head for seeming so dry.

(Kenma likes me.. just remember that.)
I told myself praying that I'd get everything fixed before we leave this place.

(I will fix my mixstakes. I will.)
