The silence was killing him. He wanted to be talking, hanging out with his best friend but obviously, she had to do her stupid homework. He let out a long sigh, the sound hanging in the air between the scratches of graphite and soft clicks of a keyboard. As much as he hated not talking to her, he did like this feeling; the feeling of home, of comfort. Of knowing that someone's there for you no matter what. He didn't feel that with his family very often, almost only with her. God, she made him go crazy. Her laugh played in repeat in his head, fuel for the fire of stupid science puns. Her touch made him break out in goosebumps, leaving him cold wherever their bodies didn't meet. He was so down bad and he knew it.
She didn't take any of his silent hints that he wanted attention, or ones regarding his growing crush either. He sighed even louder than before. Her pencil paused, causing him to perk up and use his elbow and hand to prop up his disgruntled head. "I'm still here, you know." She started writing again.
"I can't hear you," Y/N said in a sing-song tone, "all I can hear is me being smart and productive while you sit and mope."
Kuroo groaned he loved her but god she could be so fucking stubborn. He stood up and walked over so he was standing behind her sitting figure, wrapping his arms around her neck and resting his head on her hair.
He could smell the lingering scent of her perfume from that day, almost all had washed away in the shower. In his mind's eye, he could almost see her face. There was a crease between her brow, a tell of her fighting the grin tugging at the corners of her mouth.
"You suck, Tetsu." She grumbled, grabbing a piece of paper covered in random notes and hitting Kuroo in the face with it.
"Ow!" He complained, grabbing the paper from her and giving it a quick glance over.
Her 'notes' were a mixture of doodles, messy paragraphs, and lots of vulgar insults. One thing she'd written stood out from the boring monotony of facts. 'What I've learned so far: Austria's Archduke should have hired a better shoefur.' He snorted.
"You can't spell for shit." She snatched the paper back, looking for the mistake. He pointed it out. "Chauffeur is spelled c h a u f-"
"I get it." She whined, laying her head face first on her work, causing a string of g's to appear on her computer. "It's not meant to be perfect, I was only writing down things that seemed important." Her voice was muffled by the pages upon pages of what Kuroo assumed were her on-crack notes.
"World War One?" Y/N nodded and sat back up, staring at her screen once more. He could see her furrowed brow in the reflection of her screen, the eyebags, and the hatred burning in her eyes. She began to delete the string of g's. He pulled a chair next to hers and kicked his legs up into her lap. "You know, the stars are super pretty tonight. It would be a shame if nobody saw them."
"Go and look at them by yourself then, I have shit to do and passes to class." She paused, and he raised an eyebrow.
"Passes to class?" She scowled.
"You know what I meant, Tetsuro."
"All that studying has most definitely fried your brain." He stood up. "You know, studies have shown you work best when you take breaks. I've been watching you since you started studying four hours ago and you haven't taken one."
She blinked, four hours? Jesus, no wonder my brain has been singing the duck song on repeat. "I'm in my zone." She argued, leaning into her work to try and avoid looking at him because she knew he was right.
Kuroo wrapped his arms around her waist and she yelped as he picked her up and practically threw her onto his bed. Y/N felt butterflies make their way into her stomach as he lay next to her. His arms found their way around her waist, giving a gentle tug to pull her next to him.
