Just a Fairytale [Kuroko Tetsuya x Reader x Nijimura Shuzo]{KnB}

[H.23] High School: Diary Entry Twenty-Three

For the past week, you've felt yourself succumb to mental exhaustion. After working closely with Ikeda-sensei, albeit under the supervision of Yuuka, your nerves feel fried. It doesn't help that you barely had any contact with Kuroko, just shared moments in the train on the way to school; however your time was mostly spent in giving him his bento and attempting to talk oven the loud train noises. Then some cute words goodbye, a kiss on the cheek, and he's gone.

Any attempt to connect after school was met with disappointment. Kuroko has been held up every with practice. Not to say that you weren't busy either. You were helping Ikeda-sensei with the transition into the basketball club as club adviser. You needed this to be as smooth as possible for the sake of the team, who are eager to return to nationals.

But today is to be a breath of fresh air. With it being a Friday, Kuroko decided it best to meet up for some quality time. He's already bringing a few movies to pass the time, but you know that it probably be spent conversing about your week.

The doorbell takes you out of your thoughts and you rush over to greet him. Opening the door, you see the face of your boyfriend, who holds a bag of movies in one hand and bag full of ice cream in the other.

"What flavor?" you ask in wonder. You push the door wider to allow Kuroko entry and he takes the silent welcome.

He begins to head to the kitchen with you in tow. "Your favorite." He then proceeds in grabbing two cups from the cupboard above and two spoons for the both of you.

"Be prepared, I might actually eat the entire thing," you laugh. He nods his head and returns to your cup to give you a larger portion. "You're so kind!"

Kuroko reflects the same smile as he hands you the treat. When you take the first bite, a hum of delight escapes your mouth which serves as affirmation to head for the family room where the TV awaits use. The boy scans the area with little emotion and speaks up, "Your parents?"

"Gone until later tonight," you mention offhandedly. "So we can use the TV in the living room for now." You don't notice him tense at your answer as you plop onto the couch and take another bite of ice cream.

"I see..." He awkwardly coughs into his hand before joining you on the couch.

"You brought some really boring movies," you begin another conversation. Each title sounds more dull than the next, but it gives you a sense of warmth. "You're so thoughtful, Tetsu."

Kuroko pushes the bad thoughts into a deep corner of his brain and sends you a gentle smile. "I thought maybe you'd like to talk during the movie."

You reciprocate the smile and push in one of the DVD's into the player. In a matter of minutes, the movie begins and you at least attempt to watch the beginning of it. Your attention remains focused on the movie to pretend that there was an attempt to watch, but this gives way for your body to do as it pleases. Subtly, you begin to encroach on Kuroko's personal space until your head is comfortable on his shoulder and your arms are around his left arm.

Knowing that it was to be a movie night, you opted to wear a comfortable t-shirt and some pajama shorts. At the moment, you feel it be the right choice as you feel comfortable enough to sleep. Unbeknownst to you, the skin contact and your chest against his arm stirs heat to rise on the planes of his cheeks. Slowly, you drift into a slumber—a long one at that! It isn't until you hear the credits rolling that you stir.

"H-Huh?"

"Had a nice nap?"

You realize that you've slept through the movie and jump in your spot. "O-Oh! I'm sorry!"

The ring of Kuroko's chuckles puts you at peace. He wasn't angry, and that's all that matters. "It's okay, but your ice cream melted."

"I can get some more," you sigh. "I just felt so relaxed after such a long week."

"Was it really that stressful?"

Your mind wanders to the past and you nod weakly. "We have a new club adviser, and it's my homeroom teacher."

Kuroko frowns at the coincidence. "I'm sorry... How are you holding up with him?"

"I don't treat him too kindly since I'm still not that comfortable around him, but he doesn't do anything to scare me. I guess I'm doing better than I thought I would... but it still tires me out."

"Of course, but you're doing a great job in composing yourself." Seeing Kuroko proud of you motivates you to work harder.

"Yeah!"

"That's a huge step forward, [Name]."

"T-Thank you." You're oozing with happiness, and an urge to portray that joy wracks your system. You move a little closer with expectant eyes, and Kuroko watches intently.

He knows that look; wordlessly, he lowers his head to capture your lips. It isn't chaste like the majority of them. Instead, there's a sensual tone to it that makes your heart beat faster. He takes your lips with practiced ease, the usual clumsiness now trained into expertise.

Slowly, the kiss deepens. You open your mouth to give his tongue way, and when it does, pleasure shoots down your spine. Never had your kisses gone this far. It's as if his constraint disappeared and nothing is holding him back from drowning you in passion.

His hands, however, remain rooted in their spot. They don't trail downwards to commit any sins; it's his mouth that devours your soul, and when you let out a whimpering moan, Kuroko pulls away instantly.

You stare at each other out of breath and red-faced. A minute passes and neither of you can speak. There's terror on Kuroko's face, but you can't figure out why.

"Tetsuya?"

"I... Are you okay?"

A crease forms between your eyebrows. "I think so...We've never kissed like that before so it's rather new to me."

"Was it too fast?"

"Only a little," you sheepishly smile. "But I did enjoy it."

He sighs with relief at your response. "Okay, I'm sorry if I pushed it--"

"No, please don't apologize!" you gasp as you cup his face. "You're the most thoughtful and patient person. I should be the one apologizing for forcing you to keep at my pace."

He smiles at the touch and places his hands on yours. "I don't mind doing that. I'm just happy you're here with me."

"Hehe, yeah me too."

"... Do you want to watch another movie?" Kuroko directs his stare onto the bag of movies.

"C-Can we...Umm.." You can feel your cheeks overheating, but there's a strong desire for more of his contact. You've missed him far too much. "Can we kiss more?"

You can practically see steam come out of his ears, but he nods at the request. Somehow he too wanted nothing more than to relish in you again.
