After a 20 minute drive, the group finally arrived in the town. Being around 3pm on a Saturday, a lot of people could be seen hanging around the area already. Y/N and Kaori had decided to 'match' their outfits, both wearing their own versions of black wide leg joggers and *coloured* tops - with y/n wearing a leather jacket on top to cover up.
Most of the boys were in similar outfits, casual T-shirts and joggers. On the ride there, the bus was filled with excited conversations and whatever pop music was playing on the radio. Kuroo had been the one to drive, as he had his licence and got permission to use one of the transport buses.
"Where are we going first?" Y/N asks the group, excited. Bokuto, on her right, wraps his arm round her shoulder and points towards the entrance to the mall. "In there is the best arcade I've ever been to,"
"Great, let's go!" Kaori replies, hooking arms with y/n and pulling her away from the owl. The girl holds back a laugh, knowing she must have been jealous from the close contact of her crush and another girl. "Whatever you say," she mumbles with a soft grin.
"How much money did you all bring?" Kuroo asks looking around the group. He had tried to discretely move closer to y/n so he was now at the front next to her and the other manager - from the help of his friends.
Kenma trailed behind on his Nintendo, looking less gloomy than normal. Probably because he could play all the games he wanted here.
"I have (using £ bc I cba to search yen translations rn ok guys😭) £30, but.. I need to try not use it all on games,"
Kuroo smiles. "It's fine if you do, I have loads of change," he shrugs. Y/N nods and thanks him quietly, letting the group lead her into the arcade.
"What's first?" She asks, turning to Kaori only to find her and Bokuto already halfway through the entrance. "ah. Well then, I'm going to the 2P machines," she turns to the others before pointing somewhere off in the distance.
"I'll come with you. I just need to change the notes into coins," Kuroo immediately says, having a new found confidence after having a pep talk from the other players who had decided to make it there lives mission to get Kuroo and Y/N together.
"Okay, same. Where's the machine though?" She looks around - in an attempt to avoid his eyes. They felt piercing today, why had he suddenly got so brave?
"Over here, come on." He points, gently grabbing her arm to lead her over to the machines.
'Bros holding my arm. Holy shit.'
After a few minutes of changing their notes, they both now have 2 small buckets each filled with 2ps. "Oo this one's good, the keychain is almost out!"
"I'll go to this one," the bedhead gestures towards the coin-slot next to the one y/n is using. "Do you like arcades?" He asks, ignoring the frantic beating of his heart at their close proximity - that and the fact this is probably the most time they have ever spent conversing with each-other one on one.
"Mm, I love them. I don't go often, it's been..maybe a year since I last came? I went during a firework show with my friends. What about you?"
"Yeah same. It's fun, I came with Kenma a few weeks ago when a new machine came out. He beat my ass," he laughs as they both mindlessly spend their coins.
Y/N can't help but giggle a little at that, a genuine smile gracing her features. "That sounds about right. He's so obsessed with games - I don't know how he finds the time to do all that and train. I'd go insane,"
As she finishes her sentence, a cute hello kitty keychain drops out of her machine. "Yay! I got it,"
"That's cute. Oh, hey look there's a matching one at the back of this machine." He points out, leaning over towards the one on his left. "Should I try get it?" He hesitantly asks, biting the inside of his mouth in anticipation. Having matching keychains with y/n would be -
'He wants matching keychains? Ohmygod. My heart is beating so fast right now am I gonna die?'
"You should! We could match," she stutters.
"Alright," he smiles gently and begins placing his coins into the machine.
23 minutes later and £4 down, Kuroo finally gets the matching keychain. Y/N's is the original colouring, whilst Kuroo's had a black outfit with little red stripes on the hands.
"Oo they look good together, let's take a photo." Y/N smiles excitingly, pulling her phone out of her pocket. They place their keychains on top of the machine, and she snaps a pic. "Wait do I have you on insta? Let me add you & I'll tag you too,"
"Sure it's nkm_kuroo."
"Done! I'll post it to my story later. What should we do now?" Y/N runs a hand through her hair as they get out of the not-so-comfortable backless seats they had been sat in.
"Wanna do air hockey?" Kuroo suggests, knowing this would be the perfect opportunity for them to get a bit more comfortable with one-another.
She nods with a smile, "let's go."

As Kuroo placed the £1 into the air hockey table, Hinata and Lev made their way over. "Air hockey! Can we play y/n?" The ginger boy grins excitedly, already standing next to her with his hands bunched up in a pleading way.
"Sure, let's beat them." She smirks, looking across the table at the other two boys.
"You're on." Lev says cracking his knuckles and taking one of the pucks.
