Kuroo x reader (HAIKYU FANFIC)

09

"Seriously? You guys just wanna do challenges for the last day?" I raise an eyebrow at the team infront of me.

Hinata is practically vibrating on the spot, his hands up near his face with a massive grin. "Yep! Like the hot sauce challenge— the losers have to do a dare or something!"

"I mean, I don't see anything wrong with that. Let me go speak to the others, k?" I grin, glancing over at the other members. Kageyama and tsuki look bored, Ennoshita and a few others look unbothered, Asahi looks mortified and Yamaguchi, Hinata, Noya, tanaka and sugawara look excited.

I'm surprised daichi is okay with this.

I turn and start with Fukurodani, watching Bokuto flinch as I move closer to him. I snicker at him, crossing my arms and gaining the attention of their team. "Karasuno has an idea, we want to do challenges for the last day. So for example the hot sauce challenge, the losers will have punishments like dares or something volleyball related. Want in?"

"Hell yeah!" Bokuto clutches his hand into a fist and thrusts it into the air with a shout. Akashi has a similar expression to the one Asahi had, looking as if he would rather do anything else.

When I fail to find the captain of Nekoma, I go over to Yaku scolding lev— who I'd only spoke to briefly on the second day. He seemed nice enough, despite his height making him appear more of a pole than anything else.

"Hey guys, anyone know where Kuroo is?"

Yaku has a sly look on his face, turning to acknowledge me with slightly wide eyes. "Wow Y/N, didn't think you'd move on from Kenma so fast. Going to his bestfriend already?"

My smile drops off my face instantly. "Too soon?" he laughs, ignoring lev as if he isn't even there. "Too soon." I retort while rolling my eyes.

"Karasuno wants to do a 'challenge day', apparently it's been approved by the coaches and Fukurodani is in so I just need to ask Kuroo what he thinks about it before we can start,"

"He was in the kitchen having breakfast last time I saw him."

I nod at them and give a small wave before heading towards the kitchen. That reminds me, I haven't ate in a while. I don't want to collapse again— that was so embarrassing. Maybe I could have something small? But then it will break my fast. But I don't want to fall—

"Y/N? You okay, you're staring off into space there. " Oh, I'm already here?

"Uhuh, sorry. I was looking for you, actually," I quickly explain the situation for the third or so time. Kenma glances up, clearly uninterested in whatever competitions are about to take place.

"Are you doing It?" His voice is soft as usual.

"U-uh maybe, I don't know yet." If it's hot sauce that has calories. I don't want to ingest anything for no reason like that..

Kuroo nods, looking very sophisticated for a moment— as if it's some massive test he's just completed by listening to my request. "Sure, when do we start? Come sit with us for a little."

I take the seat inbetween the both of them, bringing my legs up and resting my head against them. "I don't know but I'm guessing me and the other managers will be the ones organising it. What's the time now?"

"7:28am,"

"Hm, then probably around 8 to give everyone enough time to stretch and stuff. I'm the 'punishments' for the losing teams will probably be harsh. Oh— and everyone can choose who they go with in groups of 4-6, doesn't have to be from your team."

"Cool," the captain says, shovelling some cereal into his mouth. How does someone look that graceful eating?—I really need to get my thoughts in check.

"Have you ate yet?" Kenma asks, not putting his Nintendo down or even looking away from the brightly coloured screen.

Lie.

Lie.

"No," I answer hesitantly. I had wanted to lie, but I panicked and said the truth. I think I spot Kuroo giving me a worried glance from the corner of my eye, but if I did I won't know since I avoid looking his way. "I can cook, you want something? My omelettes are pretty damn good," Kuroo boasts, a smug look on his face.

I try to avoid eye contact at all costs, I'll end up eating whatever he offers. "Thanks but I don't like omelettes, sorry."

Should I just go grab a (piece of fruit)? But Fried eggs sound so good right now..

"Really? From the look on your Face it seems you like the idea of my cooking~' he continues, "come on, let me make you something—please?"

Before I can back out, I hesitantly nod at him. "I guess a fried egg sounds good," I notice that my voice is quieter than normal, and I shove my jumper sleeve over my mouth in embarrassment.

"Of course, anything for the lady,"

-

"So? How was it?"

I bite my lip to stop myself from laughing at the persistent look on Kuroo face. "Calm down, I haven't even tried it yet."

He shoves himself away from me playfully, taking his seat once again and grabbing Kenma's switch from his hands. "Fine,fine. But I want to hear all about how bad you love my cooking,"

I roll my eyes at him and take the first bite. Luckily for me, both of the boys were pre-occupied with one another for the moment. This allowed me to eat what was on my plate in peace.

I try to block out the negative thoughts, focusing my energy on the fact that they male had went and cooked for me. Me only.

From the looks of the plate, he'd done atleast 2 eggs. I mentally split it into what looks as if it would be the size of one fried egg, and make sure to eat only 1 and a 1/2 of the portion on the plate— leaving me with just over half leftover.

Double checking that neither of the pair are watching me, I mix and move the remaining food around to make it look as if I've ate more than I actually have before standing up and pouring the rest into the bin.

"Thanks Kuroo, it was really good."

Nekoma's captain turns his face towards mine and grins with his downcast eyes and a knowing look. He starts speaking but is cut off by the pudding haired boy who interrupts with a short abrupt question. "Y/N, can I have your number?"

[now normally Kenma was a quiet and reserved person. However, he knew that by interfering and giving his weird captain a push towards y/n then he would, in turn, gain some personal space— which he desperately needed so he could play more games, and help his friend out by finding him a girlfriend. To him, he could clearly spot something, maybe tension, maybe something deeper than that— between y/n and Kuroo and he understood that they both just needed something, a nudge, in the right direction.]

"H-huh? Yeah of course Kenma-San, you have me on (favourite game) too right?" The smaller boy nods and passes his phone in my direction. The abrupt question had took me off guard, however I tried to quickly regain my composure.

"Here," I hand him his phone back, and he nods at me— giving Kuroo a look I have no clue on the meaning behind.

"Well, we should get going." I clear my throat, standing up without looking in the captains direction. I wish he'd ask for my number iswell.
