Sacred Hearts|Kuroo Tetsurou

Chapter Twenty Four

Mini recap: There's a cockroach on Hayami and she's on the verge of a miniature heart attack. 

"GET IT OFF ME, GET IT OFF!!"

Kuroo let out a little snicker seeing his usually calm and composed manager freaking out over a pesky bug. The school was surrounded by the wilderness after all and it wasn't uncommon to have bugs all over the flickering lights outside the gymnasiums. 

Now that he thought about it... Hayami always made a distasteful look whenever she saw a bug and would subtly step away with a pale expression on her face.

Honestly, it was amusing seeing the brunette freak out.

"Manager-chan," he called out lightly with a wide smile on his smug face. "Its just a bug."

"And so are you!"

Kuroo let out a small snicker at that, slightly amazed at how she managed to quip back even though she was preoccupied.

"KUROO TETSUROU IF YOU DON'T GET THIS FUCKING BUG OFF ME THIS VERY INSTANT I WILL TRIPLE  YOUR TRAINING AND MAKE THE ENTIRE TEAM DO PRACTICE DIVES MORE THAN KARASUNO!"

The roach had traveled from the back of her neck to her brown hair now and she hadn't realized where it was yet. She still thought it was on her shirt.

"Oya oya? Punishing the whole team? That's not very nice of you, Manager-chan." he commented slowly, walking towards her and flicking the bug off her brown hair. Hayami collapsed to the ground on her knees, shaking and breathing heavily as she curled her hands around herself. 

Kuroo stared down at her, silently tilting his head to the side seeing her flustered face. She looked cute when she was red. 

"Do you want some water?" 

"I'm doubling your training," she spoke quietly from the ground.

Kuroo took a step back horrified. "N-no! Why? I helped you out didn't I?"

"I didn't say I'd triple it," she shuddered once more, her arms wrapped tightly around her body as she tried to get rid of the disgusting feeling, "But you took too long and were avoiding time."

"I was seeing how to approach the situation!"

At that she looked up at him with hateful eyes. "We both knew you were having fun. Admit it and I won't increase it."

Kuroo looked at her calculating eyes. "There's no way you'd do that."

She shrugged lightly. "I'm doubl-"

"No wait! I was having fun!" 

"I'm still doubling it."

He stared at her narrowed brown eyes before letting out a sigh. "You think I put the roach on you, didn't you? That's why you're-"

Hayami cut him off. "There's no way I'd do that. I'm a nice person."

"That makes me doubt you even more Manager-chan! I'd never be so petty!"

She chuckled softly, rising her head up and glowering at him, although it didn't look as scary as when she was actually mad. Hayami was shaken up and her glares weren't exactly working right now. She was probably saying that to piss him off or something.

Kuroo let out a sigh of relief, grinning brightly at her. She wouldn't be so petty so as to make them suffer even more, would she? 

He raised his hands up as an act of surrender. "Well, I didn't put the roach on you Manager-chan~
