To Kenma's slight pleasure, you had followed him when the team departed to go to their homes. Neither one of you said anything as Kenma played on the DS next to you on the train. Kuroo also sat beside you as he'd glance at the both of you often before looking back out the window when the sky was beginning to darken slightly.

You didn't say anything and it was a little odd to Kuroo, usually you'd be pestering Kenma and bragging about how you got to sleep with him instead of Kuroo even though Kuroo was completely fine with it when he had another on his mind.

"What's wrong with your boyfriend, Kenma?"

Kenma hadn't stopped playing and you stared at Kuroo, glanced at Kenma and then smiled though you knew it appeared forced, "M-Me? What? Who said something was wrong with me?"

"You've been quiet the whole time on the train.. I've been waiting for you to say something so I'd have to pause my game and it's distracting." He appeared more annoyed than concerned and you slowly raised your hand to scratch the back of your neck, "I-.. I honestly thought you were upset with me, actually.." Your voice trailed off to disappear and Kenma raised a single brow when the train slowly came to a stop as Kuroo stood with a small sigh, "Looks like you both have something to talk about."

You stood as well and Kenma followed, each of you walking out the train doors to pass the many people to find the exit of the station. You tagged your train pass after Kuroo and you waited as Kenma tagged his too. When he got back to your side, he was always touching you as the DS slid into his pocket for the time being. Kuroo lead the both of you out and he walked in front for a while. It was quiet and the neighbourhood was silent too, comforting.

"Are you alright then, Kuroo?"

He didn't stop nor speak and then he glanced back at you. His eyes trailing down to your hand that was entwined with his setters' as the two of you walked together completely nonchalantly, comfortable and natural, "Yeah.. I'm okay. I just-.."

Your brows furrowed and you quickly glanced at Kenma for his reaction, he appeared disinterested as usual but his eyes were curious, "I'll talk to you guys about it later, I need to figure it out myself. See you tomorrow."

"Okay.. Bye Kuroo."

"Goodbye.." Kenma spoke slowly and you stared at the captains back when he smirked back at you, "Take good care of the precious setter, [Name]." You froze and Kenma was surely blushing, "K-Kuroo!"

Kenma's home was quiet when you walked up the stairs behind him. His mother invited you in and headed off to bed after setting the table with food. You ate happily beside Kenma and she smiled at you both lovingly. Despite being the boyfriend of her son, she practically treated you like family and you adored her for it.

Kenma slowly opened the door to his room and you didn't hesitate to drop your school bag and fall forward on his bed. You landed on the bottom half while Kenma grabbed the DS from his pocket and turned it on again. He turned up the volume slowly and you heard the entrance music that switched immediately to the gaming sound effects when he already began the game.

With the DS in hand, he placed his beg with yours and walked to the bed to sit in front of his pillows. The small bed was against the wall and there was a bedside table next to it. He sat there with his knees up so he could support the game on them while he played with the screen so close.
