Kuroo Tetsurou || Roommate Part 2

 Part two to the Kuroo roommate one because I couldn't resist. Enjooy~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"There's no middle part."

(f/n) let those words sink in as she and Kuroo stared at the extremely fucked up tree before them. As Kuroo had stated, it didn't have a middle. The plastic tree in front of them was just a large, large bottom and a slim top, only reaching the height of Kuroo's chest when it was supposed to stand at approximately six feet. The two adults started at the travesty of a tree in front of them for about three minutes, unsure about what to do.

"I'm calling my mom," the girl said, pulling out her phone immediately and dialing the all to familiar number. "Mom, the tree you sent me is missing the middle half," she started out, not waiting for her mother to even say hello. "It fits, but it's only two thirds the size it's supposed to be, and I'm not sure how stable it will be when Kuroo and I put decorations on it."

The conversation ended shortly after, and even though it wasn't the idle tree (f/n) told her mother that it would do. "Get clothes on, Kuroo, we need to go buy some Christmas lights," she said to her roommate, shoving him into his room before shutting the door, making sure he couldn't back out of this.

An hour later they were back in the apartment, three bags at their feet as they again just stared at the pathetic tree. "Okay, so I think we should put the white lights on the tr-"

"No, (f/n) the tree is already ugly, we can't put just plain white lights on him," Kuroo said, pouting at his roommate. "He needs some character. If not all the other trees will laugh at him for being messed up."

The girl looked astonished at how stupid her roommate sounded. "You do know the tree is inanimate, right? Like, it's not a person, and it can't have friends, or enemies, to make fun of it?"

"(f/n)-Chan, that's no way to talk about the tree when he is standing right in front of you," Kuroo mused, shooting a smirk towards his roommate. "How about this," he started, setting his right elbow on her left shoulder, using her as an armrest, "you get to decorate the tree with the cute colorful lights, and I'll do all the hard work hanging the pretty white lights around the rest of the home."

(f/n) sighed and then nodded in agreement. "As long as you're the one with sore thumbs tomorrow from sticking tacks in the wall, I'm okay with that."

They then began their tasks; Kuroo turned on some cheerful Christmas music and grabbed the container of thumb tacks and the box of white lights, while (f/n) grabbed the box holding the colorful lights. They spent the next half an hour decorating and singing and picking on each other and it was excellent. Kuroo hadn't felt so at home for a while; though he wasn't as stressed out about not seeing his family, since (f/n) helped make him feel so at home, he was still struggling a little with being in a home without anyone from his past; Kenma, his family, even Daichi helped his first year.

So, decorating the house and playing music was unbelievably refreshing for him, and the smile didn't leave his face all night. They'd stood beside the tree and stared at it for a while, both of them actually fairly fond at the fact that it looked so fucked up.

"We need a star to top it off," she said to Kuroo, trying to think of something they could use. Kuroo told her to close her eyes, and she did so while he went to somewhere in the house to find the perfect item to top off their very messed up tree.

When he came back - (f/n) could tell because he'd never learned to walk quietly like a normal human being - he rustled around with the tree for a moment before telling his roommate to open her eyes. When she did, she had to cover her mouth to stifle her laughter; Kuroo had went to the kitchen, grabbed an empty beer bottle out of the sink, and stuck it upside down, right on top of the tree. He'd wrapped a part of the lights around it to keep it steady, and he looked so extremely proud.
