S M I T T E N ( Kuroo Tetsurou x OC )

『 9 』

I turned around to a smirking Kuroo.

Is he stalking me?

Kuroo always has that smug grin on his face, I wonder what he's thinking? And why does it seem like he's staring at my face for longer than usual? Did he find out who I am?

"Oh! Did you want your book back?" I broke eye contact to rummage through my bookbag for his manga.

"Oh...uh... I-I just wanted to say 'hi'," he stuttered while averting his eyes.

He acts cocky and confident and then he goes timid. What's his deal? I can't read this guy at all.

I found the book I was fishing for and handed it to him.

"Here."

"Thanks," he grabbed the book.

Then it went silent.

This is awkward...

"W-well, if you don't need me then I'll get going," I waved at him.

"Hey hey....HEY!" some guy screamed.

A grey blur flashed before my eyes and rammed into Kuroo.

A boy with light grey and black streaked hair was on top of Kuroo.

Oh my, this is like a scene straight out of a BL.

"Ow, that hurt," Kuroo mumbled to himself, rubbing his shoulder that hit the floor.

I came to my senses and kneeled down to offer my hand to Kuroo, "oh my goodness, are you okay?"

The monochrome streak haired boy looked up at me with his piercing golden eyes.

Wait a minute, I know this guy.

"It's that owl," I accidentally muttered.

His eyes grew wide.

Oh no, did I offend him again?

He quickly grabbed my hand with both of his and stood up, pulling me up with him.

"Yes, yes! That's me! You remember me?!" He excitedly asked, his face getting closer to mine.

He's so close. I can see my reflection in his eyes.

My face was on fire and my heart was thumping in my chest.

"I...uh...who..." I tried to recollect my thoughts.

Now that I have a good look at his face, he's actually quite attractive.

"What are you doing in this part of town, Bokuto?" Kuroo's annoyed voice interrupted us.

"You weren't responding to my messages so I came to check up on you," this 'Bokuto' guy said.

"As you can see, I'm very busy right so you can go home now," Kuroo told him.

"Umm, excuse me," I meekly spoke up, "can you let go of my hand?"

"Ah, sorry," the guy let go. "I'm Bokuto Kotaro, by the way. What's your name?"

"My name is-"

"None of your business." Kuroo stood in between us with his arms crossed, blocking my view of Bokuto.

Thank goodness Kuroo did that though. I let my guard down and almost told him my full name in front of Kuroo.

I'm so careless!

"Didn't you say you were busy? What business do you have to attend to?" Bokuto questioned Kuroo.

"I..." Kuroo looked down at his watch, "Crap! I'm going to be late!"
