As The Rain Comes Down (Haikyuu Kuroo X Kei)

One Rainy Evening Pt. 1

Chapter One: One Rainy Evening

"Are you sure you don't want to stay the night? It's pretty bad out there." The small brown haired teen spoke as he stood behind the crouching blond who was putting his white tennis shoes on.

"Yeah Yamaguchi, 'sides I have to finish packing for the trip." The blond turned to look up at his best friend to give him a reassuring smile.

"Okay Tsuuki, but at least take this umbrella with you." Moving to the corner of the archway where the front door was he took hold of a black umbrella and handed it to his friend.

"Thanks, don't worry I'll text you when I get home." He stood after the last knot was tied and turned to take the umbrella.

"Kay, but you know," A pout fell across Yamaguchi's lips, "the trip isn't for another two days."

Tsukishima gave his smaller friend the, as Yamaguchi likes to call it, pissed off look, "I know, I just want to get a hard start."

Yama blinked a few times before a smile crossed his lips, "Oh, I get it, you just can't wait till we spend three days with Nekoma, huh?!"

It was hard for Tsukishima to conceal the small blush that crossed his cheeks. He hasn't told anyone about what had happened the last time they were with Nekoma on a training expedition, even Yamaguchi his best friend.

"Shut up Yamaguchi." He said turning his head from his friends view.

"Ah, fine, fine I'll see you tomorrow then." His voice was filled with humor as Tsukishima walked to the door and opened it.

"Bye."

With that Tsukishima walked down the street with the rain pouring around him; okay maybe pouring was too strong of a word. It was a light drizzle that pattered against the umbrella above his head. This was usual weather in the spring and Kei actually enjoyed it. Especially at this time of night when the street lamps cause the already wet ground to shimmer and reflect causing this beautiful scene out of a picture.

He let out a sigh as the events of earlier played in his mind, he was a little mad at himself for blushing when Yamaguchi brought up Nekoma. He thought he had more self-control then that. Still what he can't believe is that he even gave that ass hole his num-

Bring!

Speak of the devil and he shall appear, or at least text. Kei took out his phone from his back pocket and flipped it open to see his message appear.

'Tsuuki!! Can't wait 2 see u, it's been so long!!' Kei felt his face grow hot, why does this idiot have to use such words, but even if he calls Tetsuo Kuroo a baka he can't stop the smile across his lips or his fingers moving across the key board as he quickly texts back.

'Baka, we still have 2 days.' He messaged back, but he kept the small device in his hands because he knows the older man won't take long at all to reply back.

He returned to watching the street before him. He wasn't that far from his home, just a couple of blocks to go. The only down side was that he had to walk through an ally that was almost pitch black. If not for the street lights at the end he wouldn't have been able to see at all.

'I no, jus wanted 2 tell u I cant wait 2 see u! '

The smile he was wearing faltered as a question filled his mind; why is Tetsuro Kuroo talking to him like this? Most of all why is he enjoying it? There was no real answer he could get to before he realized he was lying on the ground and a stinging pain erupted from the back of his head. He fought to focus his vision and to pull himself to his feet, but all he could manage to do was push his body onto all fours and look up to see a tall shadow leaning over him. The rain poured over his body and he had to blink every few seconds to keep the water out of his hazel eyes.
