title: sleepless nights
Kuroo x reader
↞ ↠
Your eyes were wide open as you looked up at the ceiling, the moonlight illuminating the cold room you laid in.
You could feel the cold air flowing through the window hit your skin, sending goosebumps to crawl over your skin as you held the blanket close to you. You were wide awake, there was no way you were going to be able to sleep.
"Tetsu," you whispered to your boyfriend, who was currently sleeping peacefully. "Tetsurou!"
His eyes flickered opening before a low groan fell from his lips, his eyes closing again. You rolled your eyes before tapping his cheek with your finger, coaxing him out of his dreamy state. "What?" He almost snapped at you, his hand running through his messy bed-hair.
"I can't sleep..." You muttered, your eyes looking away for a second. Kuroo stared at you for a few seconds before turning over to face you properly.
"Ugh," He groaned before rubbing his face, trying to coax himself out sleep. "Do you wanna play Mario Kart or something?"
You shrugged suddenly feeling guilty that you woke your boyfriend up. "I'm sorry... I'll let you go back to sleep- waH!" You yelped as Kuroo wrapped his arms around your waist and buried his face into the back of your neck.
"Stop apologising, I'm not tired anyway-" He bit back a yawn before letting out an elongated sigh making you snort.
"Tetsurou "I'm not tired" Kuroo," You teased, making him roll his eyes before squeezing you tighter. "I'll whoop your ass at Mario Kart!"
"Try me," He quickly jumped out of bed, running out the door faster then you could comprehend. You laughed before throwing the sheets off yourself and ran downstairs to see the lights on, but no Kuroo.
"Ughhh, Tetsuuuu!" You whined out, a small chuckle coming from your left. You looked around, looking for his stupid rooster-head hair.
"Who's Tetsu? Never heard of him!" He put on a silly voice coming from your right this time. You spun around, but no one was in the hall. "Not there, stupid."
You pouted at his words, a small chortle slipping from his lips, even though you couldn't see him anywhere.
"Hmm, he must be upstairs then!" You stomped your feet on the stairs, hearing the gentle footsteps of Kuroo come out from the hall.
You bit down your giggles, watching as Kuroo walked out while looking around for you. You used your height to your advantage and sneaked around the back of him before jumping onto his back.
He let out a loud scream making you burst out into laughter and fall off his back, clutching your stomach as he yelled at you.
"HOLY SHIT!" He exclaimed, only making you laugh harder. "That was not cool! You scared the shit out of me!"
You rolled around on the cold floor while clutching your stomach, weak with laughter. "You're going to sleep by yourself now, fuck you," He stuck his tongue out on you and walked upstairs making you pout.
"Wait, Tetsu!" You dragged him back down by his shirt. "Please? We don't have to play Mario Kart!"
"What about some Chamomile tea?" He offered, walking straight past you into the kitchen. "It's a natural remedy for insomnia."
"Who knew my boyfriend was such a hippy?"
"Ah yes, chakras," He mispronounced the word which made you both burst out into laughter. "I know my stuff, alright?!"
"Clearly." You snorted before leaning on the kitchen bench as he began to boil the kettle.
"You wanna get your excess energy out by dancing?" Kuroo suggested as he put two mugs on the counter, before turning around to get tea-bags.
"Why not," you shrugged. You would never admit it to his face – because of the amount of insufferable teasing you'd receive – but dancing with Kuroo was always fun. "But only if you put on good music."
"Excuse me? Half of your playlist is my music, missy," He stuck his tongue out at you while he connected his phone to the speaker. "I have great music taste."
"Yeah, appealing to boomers." Kuroo just raised an eyebrow at you before the riff of Mr Brightside bounced off the tile walls of the kitchen.
Kuroo watched as you immediately began to sing along to the lyrics, bouncing on your feet over to him. You were already puffed out by the chorus of the song as Kuroo poured the boiling water into the mugs, still watching you with a smile.
"Joking on your alibi, but it's just the price I pay! Destiny is calling me, open up my eager eyes, because I'm Mr Brightside!" You belted out the lyrics before violently headbanging which caused Kuroo to snort.
Kuroo mouthed the lyrics as he stirred the beverages in front of him before carefully grabbing the hot surface, watching as you continued to dance around him singing along to the lyrics.
He put the mugs down before he turned around to face you. You continued to belt your heart out before the song ended, resulting in you falling back onto the couch with exhaustion.
"That was only the first song," He crossed his arms. "Weakling. I thought you said you wanted to dance around?"
"Too tired," you breathlessly responded.
"Oh, now you're tired?" You nodded before taking a sip of the Chamomile tea placed on the table in front of you, looking at him with bright e/c eyes.
He rolled his eyes before taking a seat down next to you, wrapping you in his arms. You stole a quick kiss from him before a wave of tiredness crashed down on you.
