Bandaids

Chapter 4

Chills ran through my body from head to toe as those two words pierced through my ears. A flirty smile danced on my lips while I took the beer he was offering. Gosh, it's so good to see his dirty smirk again, I thought trying to control my urges to throw myself on top of him.

"Well, if it isn't Kuroo the gentleman. I wasn't expecting to see you here."

"That would actually be weird since this is my house." He replied while going to the freezer to take out two glasses he had been cooling.

"No way - this - is your house? Oh my God, your parents must have quite some money saved up." It wasn't common for homes in Japan to be this big, let alone in Tokyo. If you lived in a spacious house like this one, you had to be pretty wealthy. He came back to me and handed me one of the glasses. While looking for the opener, he said:

"Well, my dad's a surgeon, and I guess the job pays more than well." He was getting frustrated because he couldn't find the opener in the incredible mess that lay on top of the counters.

"Here, lend me your beer," I asked. He gave me his bottle and I adjusted both of them in one hand so that the neck of one was under the lid of the other. I moved my hand to leave the two bottles hovering over my feet. I made my accurate calculations first, and then I softly kicked one of the bottles with my heel, pushing the lid of the other and making it fly over our heads and land on top of the island counter. I handed the opened bottle to an awe-struck Kuroo, his eyes like plates and his jaw almost touching the floor.

"You are amazing. I feel so attracted to you right now" I chuckled lightly at his comment, secretly dying inside. I pushed the lid of the last bottle upwards using the edge of the counter, popping it right away. Ha, my little trick worked. Now he'll think I'm so cool and irresistible. "Where did you learn to open beers this way?!" He took a seat on one of the bar stools and brought another one closer for me to seat by his side. I poured the yellow liquid on my glass and waited for it to cool.

"I don't know, probably at some party. I was quite wild back in the day."

"Right, so now you're a complete saint that goes to church every Sunday?" He said sarcastically.

"Stop teasing -" Please, don't ever stop teasing. I punched his shoulder softly. "Ok, maybe I should have said I was really fucking insane back in the day."

"Why? What kind of naughty things did my girl use to do?" He leaned into me until his face was just some centimeters away from mine. I stared deep into his hazel eyes, momentarily getting lost in the beauty of them. Having him this close allowed his delicious scent to reach my nostrils. He smelled clean -like of recently washed clothes and soap - and on top of that, the arousing scent of cologne that was impregnated in all his body. My mouth started to get dry and I had to lick my lips to talk, forcing his eyes to focus on my shiny mouth for a second.

"That is a secret, senpai" I whispered in his ear. I thought I heard him groan quietly, and I pulled away satisfied with my power over him. I watched with a cocky smile drawn on my face how Kuroo drooled all over the kitchen floor. You've still got it, mamma, I congratulated myself. I could feel that he wanted me to kiss him, but I didn't give him the pleasure just yet, I certainly wouldn't want to reveal all my weapons when the game had just begun. I broke the eye contact by standing up from the barstool and walking to the window overlooking the rest of the house, taking my beer with me. I knew he was watching my stride, feeling his gaze on my body was such a sweet sensation - it made me feel wanted. I stood by the window for some short seconds, looking at Karasuno's members goofing around, until the boy joined me by my side. He followed my gaze and made his eyes meet with the team.

"They are really good guys. The best I know - except for my teammates, of course" I smiled at the comment and looked at him. He seemed to be saying it sincerely, not just to hit it off with me.
