title: freckle constellations
Kuroo x freckled!reader

Another cloudy night, you thought to yourself, looking out the window next to your bed, that means no stars...
You rested your elbows on the ledge, a heavy sigh leaving your lips as disappointment washed over you.
"You good?" Your boyfriend spoke up from his spot upon your bed, looking up from the TV. You kept your eyes on the grey sky, trying to find even the slightest glimmer of a star.
"Well," you nervously began, looking over at Kuroo with your hand nervously scratching the back of your nape. "I was certain I was going to be able to see some stars tonight, but I guess that's not the case tonight..."
"Hey, why be sad when you can be glad?!" Kuroo sat up, a cheesy grin on his face. "And who needs the stars in the sky when I'm the light in your life?"
A small smile appeared on your face for a little bit as you joked back. "Well, I was really hoping to see a real star tonight."
He let out a dramatic gasp, his hands covering where his heart was. "I am offended!" You rolled your eyes before looking back out at the gloomy night sky.
For once, Kuroo was silent for a while, observing the dejected look on your face. He looked around his room, searching for an idea to cheer you up.
A sly smile made it's way onto his face as an idea finally popped into his head. "You'll definitely see some stars, just hold on!"
The loud slam of the door closing behind your excited boyfriend alerted you, almost sending you falling off the bed.
A few minutes later, Kuroo ran into the room, holding a pen in his hand proudly.
"T-Tetsu," you sighed in disappointment. "That's a pen, are you high? There's no way we're gonna see stars with a fucking pen-"
"Shush, and language my dear," Kuroo placed a finger to your lips, your eyes crossing to look down at it. "You obviously underestimate me."
"Who doesn't-?"
"Stop being so mean!" Kuroo whined like a child, taking a seat in front of you. "Now give me your arm."
You reluctantly gave him your arm, covered in freckles. His fingers stroked up your arm, almost making you yank it back from his grasp.
He put the pen in his mouth, ripping the lid off before looking up at you with a cocky smirk. "See look, here's... uh... Leo Minor."
He dragged the pen across your skin, the ink creating a drawn constellation on your freckled skin. Your eyes widened in bewilderment as you realised what he was doing.
"And here's... Aquila," he connected your freckles again, creating another constellation. "And uh, what's this-"
"Ursa Minor." You answered with a soft smile, his eyes softening before he placed a soft peck on your lips.
A warm blush crept up onto your cheeks, tinting your face with a light red.
"There's even Ursa Major over here," He smiled up at you as he grabbed your other arm and drew another constellation on your dotted skin. "And some over here too."
He cupped your cheek, his lips ghosting over yours before you closed the gap between the two of you.
You grinned as you pulled away, noticing a small blush on Kuroo's cheeks. He pulled the pen up, his eyes moving away from yours and back down to the freckles on your face.
"Here's Camelopardalis and here's Lynx." He muttered more to himself then anything, his dark hazel eyes moving back to your e/c eyes.
"I'm tired, Testu. Am I allowed to go to sleep?"
"You don't need to ask my permission, babe." He whispered before kissing your forehead, the new marks on your skin forgotten as he pulled you down onto his chest.

A golden pool of sunlight leaked through the crack of the blinds, allowing you to properly wake up. Your eyes fluttered open, the sound of Kuroo's steady breathing and heartbeat keeping you company.
His arms were draped around your waist, strands of his messy bed hair covering his face. You gently slipped out of his loose grip, trying your best to not wake your boyfriend.
You crept into the bathroom, rubbing the sleep out of your eyes. You arms lazily dropped to your side as you opened your eyes.
Last night there was only six constellations marked on your skin, now, there was a lot more on your skin.
"Isn't my artwork amazing?"
You jumped and looked over to see Kuroo resting on the doorframe with a tired but cocky smirk. You rolled your eyes and grabbed your brush.
"Why yes Kuroo, I love knowing that you vandalized my skin while I was sleeping, like some type of creep." You sarcastically exclaimed, looking over at your boyfriend with a playful grin.
"These are nothing, c'mere," You walked over to him a little bit before his hands gripped the hem of your shirt and pulled it off your body. "C'est Magnifique, am I right?"
Your jaw slightly dropped as more constellations of your freckles were revealed, littering your back and some on your chest/stomach as well.
"So my suspicions are correct, you are a perv!" You grinned up at him, poking his chest teasingly before slipping your shirt back on.
"Says the one who watches me in my sleep!" He stuck his tongue out, making you gasp. "In my defence, you look adorable when you sleep so fuck you, tall gremlin!"
"And you look fucking adorable with freckle constellations!"
Your face went red as you processed what he said, your finger in mid-air as his words became a muffled mess in your ears.
"If I find you adorable with freckle constellations then-then... y/n?" He tapped your shoulder, breaking you out of your trance. "I think you died just then."
"N-No, I j-just... f-freckle constellations?"
"What? You don't like the nickname?" He pouted like a child, crossing his arms in response. "No no! It's great! I.. It just caught me by surprise."
"Well looks like I found my new nickname for you."
