A/N: I- this picture ^^ I love it so much, it's so cuteeee ''

{Kuroo's POV}
As my alarm went off again, I slowly opened my eyes, feeling like absolute shit. I looked down hoping to see Kenma, curled up into me like usual, but instead.. I saw nothing..

I miss him so much, I really want him to come back, I can't handle this anymore. There's a whole in my heart that only Kenma can fill, and if he won't come back, if he doesn't.. that hole will never be filled. I can't love someone else the way I love him, I can't, I don't want someone else anyways, I want Kenma, I need Kenma..

"Tetsurou! You're gonna be late for school!"
My mom called from downstairs.

I let out a soft sigh and pushed myself to sit up.
"Okay, okay! I'll be down in a minute!"

This was going to be a long day..

{3rd POV}
Kuroo dragged himself out of bed and got ready for another miserable day at school, he didn't even want to go as it was. Honestly, he was just going to try and get through the day as fast as possible, even skip practice. Kuroo didn't feel like going, it wasn't the same without Kenma, he honestly felt like giving up volleyball overall, it was too different without his kitten, it was all just too much..

Everyone was starting to notice, Kuroo definitely wasn't the same, he was missing something, and that something was actually a someone. Kenma..

{Kuroo's POV}
Here I am once again, sitting with the team, yet feeling so alone. I miss Kenma so much, I miss having him sit with me, I miss playfully bugging him while he's playing his games, I miss everything. I can't say it enough, but I really want him back..

"Yo Captain! You okay over there?" Yamamoto asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Hm-? Oh, of course, I'm fine." Unfortunately, that wasn't fooling anyone, especially Lev or Yaku considering my small break down with them.

"Kuroo, come on, be honest with us here." Kai chimed up, looking at me. Come to think of it, everyone was.

"Yeah Kuroo, we're your team and we're here for you no matter what. So come on, tell everyone what's going on. It's okay." Yaku showed me a soft smile and I let out a sigh, fine..

"Alright, I guess.." I took a deep breath in and looked to the ground, refusing to look at anyone.

"Ever since Kenma was put in the hospital, nothing's been the same. I know it's different for everyone too because he's not only a teammate but a friend, but to me, he was more than just that.. I love Kenma and the night he was rushed into the hospital, the last thing he said to me was that he loved me, and in that moment.." My voice started to become shaky as I felt tears threatening to leave. Not now. "In that moment I knew, if I said I loved him just a few seconds sooner, he'd still be here.."

Right after I finished speaking, I felt my heartbeat pick up as I ran my fingers through my hair, the silence only getting louder with every second. It was unbearable, that was.. until I felt a pair of arms around me, then another, then another..

Before I knew, the whole team was in a group hug with me in the centre. I was a bit surprised yes, but honestly, as much as I didn't want to admit it, it was nice. I felt a small, soft smile form on my face as I let in the warmth coming from everyone else. Yaku really was telling the truth, in that moment, I didn't feel as alone, my team really was there..

"Thank you.. a-all of you.."

As they all let go, I got encouraging 'no worries' and 'you're welcomes'. It made me feel good enough to hold my head high and smile. To which everyone else smiled in return, you know, maybe this day wasn't going to be as bad after all.
