Scandalous - KuroKen

As Hanzo stepped out of the car, Kuroo rolled down the window, his voice cutting through the morning air. "Are you staying for extra study today?"

Hanzo glanced back, adjusting his backpack. "Yeah, I am."

"Alright, I'll pick you up later," Kuroo nodded, watching as Hanzo gave a quick wave and headed toward the school entrance.

With a sigh, Kuroo drove off, mentally ticking through his schedule for the day. First up, a clothes fitting for a brand campaign. After that, an interview, and then a meeting with the cast for the new movie he was starring in. It was going to be a long day.

But before any of that, he had one important thing to take care of-a promise to his little brother. The monitor.

As he navigated through the city, Kuroo tapped the steering wheel, mulling over which store would have the best monitor. Hanzo was picky, especially when it came to gaming gear. So, Kuroo decided on a famous gaming store downtown-the kind of place where top-tier players shopped.

Pulling up to the store, he parked and slipped inside, the walls lined with the latest tech, screens flashing vibrant gameplay demos. He wandered through the aisles, searching for the perfect monitor, something that would give Hanzo an edge in his endless quest to become the best gamer in the world

Kuroo stared at the array of monitors in front of him, his brow furrowing in confusion. The screens varied in size, specs, and price, and he had no idea which one would be best for Hanzo.

As he contemplated his options, a voice beside him broke through his thoughts. "This one's really good," a blonde boy said, pointing to a sleek model that stood out among the rest.

Kuroo turned to look at the boy, taken aback by his sudden appearance. "Oh? You think so?"

"Definitely," the boy replied, his hood down, covering his face. "It's got a high refresh rate and excellent colour accuracy. Perfect for gaming. Plus, it has great reviews online."

Kuroo raised an eyebrow, impressed. "You sound like you know what you're talking about. Are you a gamer?"

The boy nodded, looking up, his face finally showing "I stream sometimes."

Kuroo tilted his head, studying him for a moment. "Are you... Kodzuken?"

The blonde boy's eyes widened as he lowered his hood. "Oh, you know me..."

Kuroo chuckled lightly. "Well, not exactly. My brother loves watching your videos, but to be honest, I've got no clue what's going on."

"Oh, so you don't watch my videos?" he asked

"Sorry, I don't," Kuroo admitted, shrugging apologetically.

"That's good," he replied, sounding relieved. Then he looked up at Kuroo curiously. "You look quite familiar. Are you...?"

"Me? I just have one of those faces," Kuroo said with a grin, trying to brush it off.

"Um, maybe," the boy replied, still studying him.

"I need to get going, but thanks so much for the help," Kuroo said, feeling grateful for the unexpected encounter.

"Just remember, it's this one," he said, gently picking up Kuroo's arm and placing it on the box containing the monitor. "It's hard to remember with all of these options."

"Thanks again!" Kuroo smiled, appreciating the extra guidance.

"Anytime" the boy replied before going back to what he was doing

As Kuroo walked away, he couldn't help but smile at the brief but enjoyable exchange. He didn't expect this Kodzuken person would be like this

Later that day, Kuroo opened the door to his house, greeted by the familiar scent of home. Hanzo shuffled in behind him, dragging his feet as he dropped his bag on the floor with a thud.

"Shoes," Kuroo said, glancing back as Hanzo plopped down on the floor, clearly exhausted.

"I'm taking them off! You don't need to tell me," Hanzo replied, rolling his eyes as he bent down to remove his shoes.

"I'm putting your bag on the couch," Kuroo said, lifting the heavy backpack and making his way toward the living room.

As he set the bag down, Hanzo followed him, his expression fatigued and dull. Suddenly, something caught his eye. "Is that...?" he trailed off, staring at the sleek monitor sitting on the coffee table.

Kuroo turned, a grin spreading across his face. "Yep! That's your new monitor."

Hanzo's eyes lit up with excitement as he rushed over, kneeling in front of it. "No way! This is awesome!" He reached out to touch the screen, a grin breaking out across his face. "What are the specs?"

"I'll let you look them over in a minute," Kuroo said, unable to hide his amusement at his brother's enthusiasm. "But I made sure it's perfect for gaming."

Hanzo jumped up, his tiredness forgotten. "You really got this for me? Thank you, Tetsu! This is the best!"

Kuroo chuckled, ruffling Hanzo's hair. "Just remember to keep up with your studies, alright? I don't want you using this as an excuse to stay up all night gaming."

"Pfft, I'll be responsible! Promise!" Hanzo said, already imagining the gaming sessions to come.

"Good," Kuroo replied, watching his brother bounce with excitement. It was moments like this that made the long day worthwhile. "Now, let's get it set up."
