Kuroo x reader (HAIKYU FANFIC)

"Alright, where are they?"

"Kenma's being a bit..difficult. He tried to bring his Nintendo onto the ice."

Y/N can't help the snicker that leaves her. "I expected nothing less."

"Anyway - you're not gonna be able to learn anything whilst using that," She points at the Penguin Hinata was gripping onto for dear life. "You should try skate without it at the barrier first..if you died learning something like a waltz jump I'd actually loose it."

"A what jump? Isn't that a type of dance? Are we gonna dance on the ice?"

".."

Hinata with big wide eyes looks up at Y/N - who had actually seemed to freeze, with curiosity. She didn't know if she found his lack of knowledge laughable or not.

"..sure. Just go do that first, I'll go get the others."

It takes a quick glance around before she spots them, Kenma attached at the hip to the barrier refusing to get on the ice whilst Kuroo pulled at him profusely. She smiles at the scene and skates over to them. "Kenma..why are you clinging onto the barrier like that,"

"Are you scared?" She smirks, glancing at Nekoma's captain as if silently telling him of her plan.

Without waiting for a reply, she grips onto the two-toned male and pulls him alongside Kuroo to his feet on the ice. One on each side, they hook their arms through his to ensure he doesn't try to escape.

"Hinata said I'm teaching you stuff so, best to just suck it up." She smiles sweetly despite her death grip on his arm.

"Kuroo can you already skate? You seem more stable than the others," Y/N asks curiously as they head towards the middle of the ice.

"Nope, I'm just a natura-" he falls midway through his sentence. Hard.

"I can see that." Y/N replies with a fake serious expression. The males cheeks turn slightly pink as he scrambles to get off the floor - Kenma was now full on laughing at him, although trying to hide it.

This was the first time Y/N had ever seen him so expressive, so instinctually she begun to laugh too until he'd got back onto his feet.

Being so close to Kuroo allowed the girl to truly appreciate their height difference, she couldn't help the butterflies it made her feel. A small pink blush begun to form on her cheeks. She senses it and clears her throat, starting by getting the others into a parallel line.

"Okay so.. I told Hinata I'd teach him a jump but he needed a little more practice so i guess we can start with some footwork.."

She begun with making sure they could skate forwards before showing them a basic stop which they all managed seemingly easily. Somewhere during her showing them this she'd caught the attention of Daichi and Suga who eagerly joined her 'class'. From then on it didn't take long before Y/N was stood infront of all of both teams showing them how to do a simple waltz jump.

A cacophony of crashes and bangs echoed throughout the arena, many of the players failing to land it without a toe pick. A subtle few landed it with ease - such as Kuroo, Yamaguchi, Kiyoko and Noya (although his was very questionable)

Standing closely to Kuroo as they both watched Kenma tremble like a fawn on ice, she held her hand over her mouth to hold back the laughter that threatened to erupt from her. "Should we stop him?" She whispers softly at the taller male who grins from ear to ear with his arms crossed across his chest lazily.

"Nah..let's keep watching him fall."

'The true words of best friends,' she thought, playfully rolling her eyes to herself.

"Come on don't be cruel," she teases, skating towards Kenma and telling him he can go take a break. 'I doubt he's getting back on the ice after that.'

"3...2...1...go!"

Y/N uses all of her might to propel her and Kiyoko forwards, aware of how ant-agonisingly close they are to Kageyama and Hinata. 'That stupid crow - I won't let him beat me in this,' she smirks to herself, going as fast as she can, quickly crossing the fake finish line and beating the others.

"Yes!" Y/N says as she plummets into the barrier, catching herself before falling over it. Lev had barely managed to scoot out of the way before she came launching at him, making those around them laugh. "Who's next?"

"Your too good Y/N! You give the rest of us no chance -"Hinata begins to pout but is quickly shushed by Kageyama who grabs his arm harshly. "Shut up boke! She only beat us because you're so heavy I couldn't push you."

This ignited a small fight between the ginger and his setter.

"I'll go against you,"

Y/N turns towards the voice, locking eyes with a smirking Kuroo who looks like he's enjoying this too much. "You look really confident, that either makes you a foul or a narcissist," the girl teases, whispering the last word with a 'sympathetic' look.

"Well - let's see what you say when I beat you," the captain leans in towards her, feeling a new surge of confidence. She was right, he was feeling confident- but not in winning. No, at the fact he definitely had a crush on her. Spending just a few hours with her like this, even surrounded by his teammates and Karasuno was the most fun he'd had in weeks.

Y/N doesn't reply, just laughs innocently before taking the seal(skating aid) Kiyoko was sat on and moving both her and it to the starting line. Next to her, Kuroo soon followed with a similarly smirking Yaku on the seal before him.

"3...2...1..GO!"
