The following week felt like a whirlwind of emotions for Kuroo and Daishou. Their kiss on the beach had opened the door to a new chapter, and every moment they spent together seemed to solidify their bond. They met up frequently for study sessions, shared meals, and of course, more volleyball practice. Each encounter deepened their connection, filled with playful teasing and tender glances.
One afternoon, while studying at Kuroo's apartment, they found themselves nestled comfortably on the couch, textbooks strewn around them. Kuroo was trying to focus on his notes, but he couldn't help but steal glances at Daishou, who was concentrated on his own work, biting the end of his pencil.
"You know," Kuroo said, breaking the silence, "we should probably take a break soon. We've been at this for hours."
Daishou looked up, a slight grin on his face. "Are you suggesting we abandon our studies for fun? Because I'm totally in."
Kuroo chuckled. "Well, I was thinking more along the lines of food. But if you want to go wild, I won't stop you."
Daishou raised an eyebrow playfully. "Food sounds good, but how about a little volleyball afterwards? Just to keep things balanced?"
"Deal!" Kuroo replied, feeling a rush of excitement. They packed up their things and headed to a nearby cafe, laughing and joking along the way.
As they settled down with their food, Kuroo noticed the way Daishou's eyes sparkled when he talked about his favorite topics. It warmed Kuroo's heart to see him so animated. "You know, I love seeing you like this," Kuroo said, leaning forward. "You're so passionate about what you do."
Daishou's cheeks flushed slightly, and he rubbed the back of his neck. "Thanks! I guess it's easy to be passionate when you're doing something you care about."
Kuroo leaned closer, his voice dropping to a soft whisper. "Just like I care about you."
Daishou looked up, his expression softening. "I care about you too, Kuroo. I'm really glad we're doing this together."
Their conversation shifted to plans for the upcoming weekend, and Kuroo felt an urge to keep exploring their relationship. He wanted to show Daishou how much he appreciated him, how excited he was about their journey.
"Hey," Kuroo began, his heart racing a little. "What do you think about a little weekend getaway? Just the two of us?"
Daishou's eyes widened, clearly intrigued. "Like a trip?"
"Yeah! Nothing too crazy—maybe a cabin in the woods or something. Just a chance to relax and enjoy each other's company without any distractions," Kuroo suggested, his excitement building.
"That sounds amazing!" Daishou replied, his enthusiasm infectious. "I'd love to get away for a bit."
They spent the rest of their lunch discussing potential places to stay, brainstorming activities and meals they could prepare together. The idea of spending a weekend away, just the two of them, filled Kuroo with a sense of joy and anticipation.
After they finished eating, they headed to the nearby volleyball courts for a practice session. The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm glow over the sand. Kuroo felt invigorated, the thrill of the game igniting his competitive spirit.
"Alright, partner! Let's show them how it's done!" Kuroo shouted, grinning widely as they began their warm-up.
As they played, Kuroo noticed how in sync they had become. Their teamwork was seamless, and Daishou's laughter rang out as they celebrated each point they scored. Kuroo loved every moment, the adrenaline and the sheer joy of being beside Daishou.
After a particularly heated match, they both collapsed on the sand, breathing heavily and grinning like fools. Kuroo turned to Daishou, who was lying beside him, and couldn't resist leaning over to peck him on the cheek.
"Great game," Kuroo said, feeling a rush of happiness.
"Thanks! But I think you just wanted an excuse to kiss me," Daishou teased, his voice playful.
"Maybe I did," Kuroo replied, feeling bold. He leaned in again, this time pressing a more lingering kiss on Daishou's lips, savoring the sweetness of the moment.
As they broke apart, Daishou's cheeks were tinged with color. "You know, this is going to be a pretty unforgettable summer."
"I hope so," Kuroo replied, his heart swelling. "I want to make amazing memories with you."
They spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying the sun, talking about everything and anything. As they made their way back to Kuroo's apartment, he felt lighter, more at peace than he had in a long time.
That night, while lying in bed, Kuroo reflected on how far they had come in such a short time. Their connection was growing deeper, filled with laughter, shared dreams, and tender moments. He couldn't help but smile at the thought of the weekend getaway and all the adventures that lay ahead.
The following day, as they began planning their trip, Kuroo felt a sense of excitement and nervousness mingling within him. This weekend would be a chance to explore their relationship further, to deepen their bond in a way that was both thrilling and a little terrifying.
He picked up his phone and sent Daishou a message: I can't wait for our getaway! Let's make it unforgettable!
A moment later, Daishou replied: Definitely! I'm looking forward to it. Just the two of us!
Kuroo's heart raced at the thought. As he drifted off to sleep, he felt ready for whatever was to come, eager to embrace the journey they were embarking on together.
