Kuroken - A sudden star

Chapter 9 - P.E.

In the hall, everyone had already built teams. Kenma and Kuroo walked over to Yaku and a really excited Tora. Kenma, Tora and Yaku were together in the volleyball club so their team would probably win anyways. "Hmm we still need two persons" Yaku mumbled to his self and looked around in the gym. Kenma tapped on his shoulder and pointed on Kuroo. "Oh, if it has to be" He grumbled and turned away, spotting someone really tall. "I'll ask him" Yaku said and ran over. "Ah- that isn't a that good idea.." Kuroo yelled after Yaku but it was too late. The guy, standing over there was Lev, the half russian member of 'Cats' and sadly he was horrible at every sport besides ice skating. His cousin was a famous figure scater so Lev learned it when he was little. He was unexpecedly pretty good at it but he could never be as great as his cousin. Kenma recognized him as well and turned to Kuroo. "How many people of your group are on this school?" he asked curiously. "Well, in first place I'm surprised that this dumbass passed the test" Kuroo began and took his eyes off Lev to look at Kenma. "But I don't really know, I think Oikawa doesn't speak japanese that well so he's still home schooled. Akaashi and Bokuto are at another school-" Kuroo stopped for a moment, thinking about the rest. "I think our manager goes to this school now" he said and smiled down at Kenma. "Your manager?" His boyfriend asked. "Yea, Kiyoko. She should be in a few of our music videos" Kuroo thought "Ah, yeah she was in 'Yourself' and 'Dreams' " Kenma thought about the videos and froze for a second. She was really pretty. He could feel the jealousy crawl up his heart even if he didn't want to. "Well she's probably here because of her girlfriend." Kuroo shrugged and looked over to Yaku and Lev again. Kenma stared up at Kuroo "So she's taken?" He asked curiously "Yes, why?" "N-no reason.." Kenma felt a little bad but hid it. "Interested in her, huh?" Kuroo said jokingly and huffed a laugh. "No" Kenma's answer was a little sharp but the other male didn't notice it. "Hey, we have out 6th player!" Yaku yelled from the other end of the gym. Kuroo sighed. "Man I liked volleyball til now" He mumbled, annoyed that Lev would play with them. Kenma perked up a little and stared at Kuroo. He wanted to say something, but couldn't because of: "KUROO!!" Lev shouted and hugged his friend tightly. Kuroo huffed and looked at Kenma like he was dying. He was actually suffering, even if it didn't look like it because his arms were thin, Lev was pretty strong. Kenma just stared at them, finding the situation a little weird. "Help.. Kenma" He reached his free arm to his boyfriend, turning a little pale. Lev let go of him a few seconds after, not noticing that he squeezed him too hard. Kuroo lost his balance and fell over on a screeching Kenma, surprised by Kuroo's sudden weakness. They both fell on the floor, Kenma buried under his boyfriend, patting on his back and struggling to get free- it wasn't working. He looked up pleasig to Tora who had to hold back laughing for a while now. He took Kenma's hand and pulled him out from under Kuroo, who needed a little until he was fit again. "Ah sorry" Lev said laughing and earned a weird look from Yaku. The height difference was impressive when they stood next to each other. The teacher blew into his whistle and everyone looked into the middle of the gym. "Boys versus boys and girls versus girls. Four teams!" he yelled and everyone walked on his position. First turn was for the boys and the girls stood at the side, most of them screeching. Two stars in one team? The other boys in Kenma's class sure were jealous of them. "Go Kenma-kun!" one of the girls suddenly yelled and waved him. Kenma smiled shyly but Kuroo glared at her, scared she could take him away. The game began. Everyone played really good, besides Lev, but they won anyways. After they hit the last point, Kuroo picked Kenma up and hugged him tightly. "H-hey!" Kenma struggled a little so Kuroo would let him down but he didn't. Sighing, he accepted it. Probobably that wouldn't change either so he had to get used to it. Even if it was annoying.

"Hah, weak" Yaku huffed after the game, wiping the sweat off his forehead. "You shouln't say mean things Yaku-san" Lev said, laughing a little. "I just called you weak and you laugh?" Yaku was a little confused but didn't want to think about it more than nescessary. "Of course! It is funny and really nice when short people are so confident! I don't see that often" Lev was still laughing a little, scratching the back of his head. "HUH? Did you just call me short?" Yaku growled quietly and glared up at Lev. "Yes, why?" he asked smiling and looked at Yaku as well. "Take it back" Yaku said, a little upset. He was sensitive when it came to his height. "Hm? Why? It is true though" What Lev didn't know was, that he just signed his death.
