Ready, Set.

Friends

Kenma watched Kuroo sleep, his back moving in deep breaths as he fell into a deeper sleep. He rolled off the bed and reached around for his phone, his mother had surely heard about him skipping school by now, it was nearly 3 in the afternoon.

Yama: Hey dude, thanks for covering

Y: Need me to come back tonight?

Y: Hello?

Y: I can't believe y'all are banging... He's a sad boi..

Y: Ok, should i be worried, you guys aren't at practice

Y: Cool, cool, skip class and not invite Yama, that's fine real good.

Y: Are y'all dead, do you need hydrated?

Y: So afternoon practice is nearly over and you two haven't contacted the outside world

Yikes. Kenma laughed as he read through the night old messages from Yama.

- We are alive, had a lot of stuff to take care of... ;)

Kenma moved on to see what his mother had texted, she surprisingly hadn't called him.

Mom: Hey sweety, I hope Kuroo is okay, let me know if you guys need anything.

M: Skipping class will only be tolerated today mister, I don't want another awkward phone call like that ever again. Love you guys xx

Kenma was relieved at how chill his mother was, blessed to have her in his life. The rest of his phone was filled with the usual; emails, game notifications, and the occasional 'storage almost full' notification.

He slid his phone onto the nightstand and reached for his gaming console, pleased that it wasn't dead yet. He crawled over to Kuroo's charger near the chair and sat cross-legged on the floor, getting absorbed into the game.

Kenma sat like this for a long time, his neck bent so his hair fell around his face. He had made it four levels in before he heard the downstairs door open and shut. Shit, Kenma jumped up and realized he was only in briefs. If it was Yama he wouldn't care so much, but anyone else and he'd probably die inside.

"Kuroo." He spat, Kuroo mumbled and waved his arm.

"Im serious, someone's here." Kenma crawled onto the bed and slid into the white shirt Kuroo had been wearing before.

"Who?" Kuroo mumbled into the bed,

"Well if i knew i wouldn't be so anxious. Come on get up, you're naked." Kenma pushed on the mountain that was Kuroo. Kuroo growled like the angry boy he was.

"It's probably Yama, or my mom. Relax baby." He waved Kenma off again, but Kenma could hear them coming up the stairs now.

"Whoever it is is about to walk in." Kenma grabbed the sheet from the bottom of the bed and quickly tossed it over Kuroo, as soon as it settled there was a nearly silent knock on the door. Kenma's animal instinct was to roll over and pretend to be asleep.

Kuroo pushed up on his arms and the door cracked open before Kenma shut his eyes.

"Kuroo, i uh, oh you have company, well, did you wanna maybe come and talk to me for a minute?" It was a quiet mans' voice, his father.

"Yeah dad, I'll be down in a minute." Kuroo shifted in the bed and then the door shut again.

"Fuck." Kuroo hissed and Kenma shot up to wrap his arms around Kuroo's shoulders. Kuroo put his hands on Kenma's arms, leaning his head down to kiss them.
