Tastes Like Chocolate (kuroken)

Conceal The Truth

Nothing was worse than waking up to such a message. What does he mean they found out?

Kenma scanned the message over and over again just to see if there was something he missed. Checked it again to see if it was real or Kuroo was just kidding. He really hoped he was.

Because boy would it be bad if Kuroo's family found out. Kuroo's family has known Kenma since he was a child. They like him a lot but they don't know that he gay. Nor do they know that Kuroo is gay. And even worse, they don't know that they're gay together!

Kenma began to type. His brain ran through at least a million questions, his thoughts are so fast his thumbs cannot keep up when he's trying to type. And he pressed send.

What mean?! found out??! parents?!?

Kenma waited and wait and waited. He knew he had to leave for school soon or else he'd be late. So he headed out, trying to put the fact that Kuroo's parents may or may not know.

He walked along the road to Nekoma high, with other students also walking the same way. When he got to the gate, he heard someone calling his name.

"Kenma! Wait up!"
Kenma turns to see who it was and he sees an overly excited first year, innocent of what else high school will offer. Inuoka waves strongly as if Kenma hadn't already noticed him. Kenma stopped walking to wait for Inuoka to catch up.

"Good morning." Kenma responds calmly.
"Good morning senpai." Inuoka bows sincerely.
"You don't need to call me senpai."
"I know."
Inuoka straightened up and they start walking again.

"Uhh Kenma?"
"What is it?"
"What's this?"
Inuoka pointed at Kenma's neck.
"What?"
"It looks like you have a bruise..."
"Huh?"

Kenma grabbed at his phone to use it as a mirror, but a message lit his screen before he could do so. It was from Kuroo.

My parents found out because I gave you a hickey. I'm sorry.

What.
WHAT?!?

Kenma quickly swiped away the message. And flipped into his front camera. And there it was. Big, purple-ish pink bruise right between his jawline and neck. Kenma began gasping.

"Kenma?"
Inuoka asked again as Kenma never seemed to answer his question of what that is.
"Excuse me Inuoka." Kenma walked away from his original path. Instead of going into the school and to class like he usually does, he's heading to the back of the school. Inuoka decides not to follow.

Ohhhhh myyyy gooddddddd
What do I do? I know. I'll call Hinata, he'll know what to do.

He pulls out his phone and dials Hinata's number. And two rings in he hears his good friend's voice. Oh how he misses his voice.

"Hello? Kenma?"
"Shoyo."
"Kenma!"
Hinata yells into the phone, Kenma pulled his ear a bit away from the phone.
"Hey guys! I told you it was Kenma!"
He hears Hinata yell away from the phone.

"Hinata I need to talk to you in private."
Kenma pleads, he cups the side of his neck that the hickey was.
"Oh, this sounds serious." Hinata calms down. "I'll leave the room." Kenma heard the background noise fade away followed by the closing of a door.

"Uhh okay so I don't know really know how to say this."
"What's wrong, Kenma?"
Kenma takes a deep breath.
"I have a hickey on my neck and I don't know how to hide it."

There was a pause.

"Gwahahhahaa!"
Hinata screams into the phone.
Kenma pulls away from the phone again.

"Hahahahahhaha! From who?? Kuroo??"
Hinata asks.
"Shoyo, please be serious for a second."
Kenma facepalms.
There was another pause.
"Oh my god, it is from Kuroo isn't it."
Kenma doesn't reply.
"Okay I'm taking that silence as a yes. But hey, it doesn't matter. I'm not judging."
