Ready, Set.

Bullies *

Kenma felt amazing, sleeping next to Kuroo was like taking the strongest drugs. He woke up and watched Kuroo sleep for nearly an hour, lying about trying to wake him. Kenma enjoyed the weight of him pressing him into the bed, he thought about that weight now, in the middle of class. 

The students around him were on their phones, he could see the girl beside him snapping pics of her feet repeatedly since she couldn't very well pull it out and take a selfie. Kenma wanted to text Kuroo, but he also didn't want to seem so desperate, so he didn't. Just like he didn't stop Kuroo from calling him Babe, twice. 

Kenma knew he was going to get hurt, it was only a matter of time, but Kuroo had opened up to him last night. He had to give Kuroo that much of a chance and not rule him out as a bad guy, not yet. Although getting his hopes up was surely going to do the same thing it had done all his life, and just crush him even further. 

finally the bell sounded and Kenma pushed out of the class, eager to stand in the hall and daydream for a few minutes of peace. 

"Hey setty!" 

please no

"Starting star boy setter, Kenma." 

Hands found Kenmas shoulders and he winced under their grip, the two boys stood behind him as he faced the lockers. 

"Word is you have a crush on the moose." Yaku chimed, Kenma kept quiet 

"I think moose isn't the right animal," Inaka squeezed his shoulders tighter, "Maybe dolphin, I've heard they tend to be a little gay sometimes." Kenma sunk deeper and felt his spine resist the terrible posture. 

"Yeah, anyway," Yaku said, "We heard you two came in together this morning, even looked liked you kissed over by the gym." 

"Yeah, I heard the same thing, even heard that someone saw you two holding hands up the road." Inaka spat behind Kenma's ear. 

"I wonder how it works." Yaku walked around to look Kenma in the eyes, "Sleeping with the coaches puppy dog, does he beg like a little bitch?" 

"I think you're going too far guys." Yama. thank christ 

"Ah, speaking of coaches little bitches." Inaka released Kenma and he immediately stepped sideways so he was out of their immediate reach. Yama was with his girlfriend, she looked happy for once and Kenma couldn't help but appreciate that, even though he'd just been man handled and spat on. not to mention the ridiculous things that they said. 

"Listen, you two can be as homophobic as you want, but what we won't be doing is harassing the other members of this team. So what? You jealous Kuroo didn't sleep with either of you? or is it Kenma you wanted? No? then get your own life and stop worrying about the setter and the ace of this team, they're what's bringing us to nationals and your ego isn't going to ruin that for the rest of us." Yama didn't look as angry as his words, but the other boys didn't seem too effected by them either. 

"Oh Yama, trying to look tough infront of your girlfriend? Surprised you even have one, hanging out with those two all the time." Yaku said and Kenma watched Inaka poke ok Yaku as if to encourage him. 

Kenma didn't know if he should just run and hide away in his next class room or stick around and wait for Yama, 

"Anyway, we're going to be talking to coach at practice tonight, have to clear up the rules on teammates dating and all that." Inaka shrugged and pushed past Yama, bumping him so he had to step back to catch himself, 

Kenma turned as if to leave, but Yama called for him, 

"Kenma, don't worry about them, or coach." Yama and his girlfriend came over and stood next to him. He watched them look him over, as if he were a deer on the side of the road,
