I Can't Live Without You

Chapter Ten

*~.Six Weeks Later.~*

Kuroo rubbed his sore eyes as he rolled to the side to turn off his devilish alarm. He lazily stood up and dragged his feet to the kitchen. He turned the coffee machine on and fetched a mug in the cupboard. The half-asleep teen yawned and waited for the hot liquid to pour in his mug. He drank his beverage quickly and placed the cup on the counter. He would need it later for the second coffee.

The boy trailed back to his bedroom and opened the window. He pushed the shutters aside letting the warm morning light sink in. He crawled on his bed and went to the opposite side of it. He stood on all fours over a bundle of sheets. Kuroo pulled the covers down and earned a dissatisfied moan. He bent down and left a trail of kisses on an uncovered shoulder.

"Mmmh... Stop it, Kuroo, I want to sleep," groaned the small teenager.

Kuroo did not cease and kissed higher and higher until he reached the face. "No can do. We both have school, Ken," replied Kuroo between pecks.

"Ugh... School... Always gets between me and what I love most," whined the pudding head.

"Me?"

"No. Sleep."

Kuroo grabbed his pillow and threw it at Kenma's face. "Well I'd gladly see how 'Sleep' makes you breakfast," taunted the eldest, acting as if hurt. Kenma rolled over and sprawled himself on the bed, each limb parted from each other.

"Mmmh, I'm sorry, I love you Kuroo, please make me breakfast," mumbled Kenma in apology against the mattress.

Kuroo scoffed and exited the bedroom. "Just get out of bed, okay?" Kenma stayed silent while pondering whether to get up or not. Finally, he rolled off the bed and stumbled into the kitchen pulling his oversized shirt over his shoulder. Kuroo had laid down bread and jams on the bar.

"Nutella," pointed out Kenma, sitting down on a high stool.

"Yes, I know, just a sec," replied Kuroo smiling to himself. He placed the jar in front of his boyfriend and fetched orange juice. He took his coffee filled mug and sat next to Kenma.

"I don't want to go to school," whined the setter as he spread the chocolatey heaven on a toast. Kuroo shook his head and brought his mug to his lips.

"Stop complaining, there are only two days of school left!"

Kenma frowned and bit his toast.

"Then we'll spend the summer vacation together. Well, just three weeks since we both have training camps during two weeks. But then, the ocean!" exclaimed Kuroo, his eyes twinkling. Kenma's lips turned into a smile as he watched his boyfriend get excited like a kid. He himself was impatient to end school and go to the ocean a while with Kuroo. The boy had managed to organize everything. From him moving to the center of Tokyo with Kuroo to spending most of the summer holidays with him.

Kenma's parents weren't very keen on the idea at first but Kuroo had said that he felt lonely from being alone far away from everyone. Since they had known Kuroo from his childhood, they considered. Then, both boys gathered every argument possible and debated on how it would be beneficial with no downsides. Kenma had said that his parents were barely at home anyway, so he would be happier living with someone. In addition, he had intended to move out the following year as well, so one year earlier wouldn't hurt anyone.

Kuroo had explained that best friends living together was actually very good for the mental health of a person. Kenma added that for school, he would take the bus and that he didn't mind doing so. Kuroo proposed to help Kenma whenever in need and that for tutoring lessons, it would more practical if they lived together.

After having pondered for a very long time, both parents acquiesced. Losing no time, Kenma packed his belongings and started moving in with Kuroo. Barely a week later the boy had settled in. However, the apartment is far from being ready to live in. They decided that during summer vacation they would spend sometime cleaning.

Kuroo had then suggested they go a couple of weeks at the seaside during vacation. He had a relative who owned a beach house and who was more than happy to lend it to them. All four parents discussed the matter and none saw any objection to the idea. And so, Kuroo and Kenma were living together and spending most of summer vacation in a beach house.

Both boys agreed not to say anything about their true relationship, judging it might be a little too much to handle at once. However Kuroo said they would have to do it sooner or later, hiding the truth not being the best solution.

"Hurry up and finish preparing yourself, otherwise you'll miss your bus," warned Kuroo as he put the dishes in the sink. Kenma nodded and rushed off to get ready. Once the dishes cleaned, Kuroo did the same. Five minutes later, Kenma was tying his shoes ready to run out. Kuroo stood behind him and waited for the boy to stand up. As soon as he did, he turned around and took the bag Kuroo was holding for him.

"Have a nice day," smiled cheerfully Kuroo.

Kenma let a small smile appear and then turned around to open the door. He was about to rush out when he stopped and stepped back in. He softly grabbed Kuroo by his shirt and pulled him closer. He deposited a sweet kiss on Kuroo's lips and whispered, "Love you."

Kuroo beamed and ruffled the teen's hair. He bent down and kissed his forehead. "Love you too."

Kenma swung his bag on his shoulder and ran out the door, his hand covering his blushing face. He anxiously waited for the bus to arrive. Now he was going to feel jittery all day. He sighed and grinned softly, he was extremely impatient for their little vacation together.

The rumbling of the bus' engine snapped him out of his daze. The doors opened and he climbed on. Kenma sat down and stared out the window. Only two more days.
