"Kenma," An annoying voice pleaded. "Come back~"

Kenma whipped his head around with a disgusted, yet embarrassed look on his face. "No way in hell, Kuroo."

He laughed. "Sorry, sorry. I'm just trying to mess with you, Kitten!"

Kenma pouted and crossed his arms. Mess with me? Is that what he's calling it now?

"God, you're so adorable," Kuroo smiled. "Here, follow me."

He took Kenma's hand and led him outside. Besides from the pool, it wasn't much different from inside. The music was just as loud, and the people were just as proud. The grip around his hand tightened.

"Care to dance?" Kuroo asked, looking Kenma in the eyes.

Kenma let go and turned his head. "No." He looked up to see Kuroo's reaction—as he expected, he seemed a little sad. Kenma sighed, he's acting like a baby, but he looks hella cute. Dammit, Kuroo! Don't say it, Kenma. Don't say it.

"Not—" Kenma re-grabbed his hand. "Not yet. Maybe later."

Kuroo's face lit up, and Kenma's turned bright red.

"Shut up."

"I didn't say anything, Kitten."

"Am I a joke to you?"

Kuroo laughed. "God dammit, you're almost worse than Bokuto with quoting memes."

"What can I say? I don't care about my haters, and if you wanna fight me, then fight me," Kenma giggled.

Kuroo wrapped him in his arms. "I've raised you well, Kitten." A fake tear rolled down his cheek.

Kenma hugged him back, and sank into his embrace. It's not like I'm gay for him or anything—He's warm...that's all, yeah, he thought.

"It's getting dark outside," Kurro pulled away. "I want to show you something."

He led Kenma back in the house and to his room. It was, of course, very messy and the walls were decorated with dumbass boy band posters.

"Although I'd like to give you a grand tour of my humble abode," He started. "There's more to see on the roof."

"The roof?!" Kenma yelled.

"Yes, the roof! Let's go!" Kuroo replied.

Kuroo opened his window and stepped outside. He smiled at Kenma but frowned when he saw his face.

"I promise it's not that bad, I would never put you in any sort of danger, Kitten."

Kenma sighed. Was he really going to convince him to do something stupid? He walked over to the guy wearing the goofiest smile on his face and took his hand. Kuroo gently helped him out the window and onto the wide ledge. Clutching his waist, he lifted Kenma up so he could make it on top of the flat roof. Once he was up there safe, Kenma blushed at the contact and hid his face in his hands. You can't catch me gay thoughts!

Kuroo hopped up right after and laughed when he saw Kenma. "What, was is that bad, Kitten?"

"No," He said as he stood up. When he turned around, he saw something he didn't expect from a bunch a frat boys—a beautiful rooftop garden. It wasn't that big, but that didn't make it any less magical. Flowers of every shape and size were attached to lush green plants everywhere you looked. Fairy lights hanged from each moss covered pilar and short, stubby tree. In the middle of everything, Kenma saw a plain, wooden bench under a beautiful gazebo. He moved towards it, as if it had some magical gravitational pull attached to it. Once he sat down, he smiled to himself, not having a care in the world.

"Beautiful, huh?" Kuroo asked, waking him up from his trance.

"Definitely," Kenma replied, still smiling.

Kuroo sat next to him and all of a sudden, he felt something heavy on him. He looked over and saw Kenma's multicolored hair laying on his shoulder.

Oh my god, what am I doing? Abort mission! Abort! This isn't like you at all, you dumbass, Kenma said to himself.

But then all his worries went away when Kenma felt Kurro's head laying on his. He let out a shaky breath. "S-so, Kuroo...who set up all this?"

Kuroo laughed. "It's a long story. Before Oikawa moved to this campus, Iwaizumi started this all. All the vegetables you see, flowers you smell—he planted all of that. When Oikawa got here, his gay ass fell for Iwaizumi right on the spot. To win him over, he decorated the garden all of the pretty lighting you see and even installed the gazebo. Iwaizumi was really flattered that someone would do that for him and took Oikawa on a date. Now they've been dating for a solid year now."

Kenma raised his eyebrows, he didn't know there was so much backstory behind this.

"Look!" Kuroo pointed at the sky

Kenma noticed all the beautiful shades of pink, orange, and yellow and how they all blended together. Akaashi would love this.

This made him wonder, "Where is Akaashi?

Kuroo shrugged. "Wherever he is—Bokuto's with him, so don't worry."

Kenma sighed. I guess he's right. They continued to sit there until the sunset turned into a beautiful painting of stars. Kuroo began to explain to him what stars are made of and how people came up with constellations. Even though Kenma already learned this in high school, he thought it was endearing.

Is this what love feels like, wondered Kenma.

After a while, they headed back down into Kuroo's room and went downstairs. As soon as they did, they both tried to contain their laughter. A shirtless Bokuto was passed out cold on the table, with a red solo cup in his hands and a literal lampshade on his head. Only Bokuto, Kenma thought. Akaashi, on the other hand, was hanging upside down on the couch and his face was covered in sharpie drawings.

Kuroo and Kenma look each other in the eyes and slowly nodded. They knew what they had to do.

"Are you sure he's a heavy sleeper?" Kenma whispered, helping Kuroo lug Bokuto on the couch.

"Yeah, man," Kuroo grunted. "He sleeps like a rock."

He looked down at the huge, snoring college guy and sighed, "If you say so."

After they got Bokuto on there, they laid Akaashi right on top of him. To finish it off, Kenma placed Bokuto's arm around Akaashi's waist and Kuroo put Akaashi's hand on Bokuto's chest.

"That should do it," Kuroo said, placing his hands on his hips proudly.

"What a lovely couple," Added Kenma, mimicking Kuroo.

"I'm gonna head upstairs and go to sleep, do you wanna sleep on Bokuto's bed?"

Kenma blushed. "Uh, sure."

"Great! Now I can give you the grand tour, Kitten!" Kuroo smiled as he led Kenma upstairs.

I think I might be in love, he thought after a while.
