Reckless - Kuroo Tetsurou

16

"Kids, dinner is ready!"

"So, what's your name, again dear?" Kuroo's grandmother asked with a polite smile on her face.

M/n immediately placed his silverware down and politely bowed at the female with a smile before replying, "Ah, my name is m/n l/n, nice to meet you,"

"You look awfully familiar... have I seen you somewhere before?" She asked, tapping her chin.

"He's a model, he had this photoshoot for that magazine you were reading earlier this morning, grandma," Kuroo explained with his mouth full of food.

"My, my. How on earth did a boy like Kuroo get such a handsome looking boy as his friend?" She asked as Kuroo pouted at his grandmother's question.

M/n let out a small chuckle before turning back to the elderly woman in front of him. "Kuroo-san and Kenma-kun are very nice to me, I'm thankful for that,"

"That's good, they should be," she said.

After dinner, Kuroo invited Kenma and m/n into his room to hang out. The room was surprisingly clean with just a few books scattered on the bed. M/n sat on the edge of the bed and picked up a book to see a thick college textbook. Almost immediately, he dropped the book in surprise. "College textbooks?"

"Yeah, I use them to study," Kuroo said, sitting down next to the model as Kenma sat on the floor, leaning his back against the desk Kuroo had in his room.

"One, you're sick, you shouldn't be studying in the first place, two, why do you study using college books?"

Kuroo chuckled and pat the male's head softly before lying down on the bed. "I'm just studying, no harm in that, right?"

M/n hummed and nodded as he lied down next to Kuroo before replying, "True,"

"You guys can just pretend I'm not here," Kenma said as Kuroo and m/n stared at him before giggling.

"We won't do that," m/n said and smiled as Kenma nodded before continuing to play his game.

        An hour passed as it was time for m/n to go back home, he bid his goodbyes to Kuroo's grandparents before heading out to the door. Kuroo quickly grabbed his arm and flashed a smile, "let me walk you to the bus stop,"

"Are you sure? You are unwell,"

"It's fine, I'm feeling much better now," Kuroo smiled and held m/n's hand softly before the model nodded, agreeing to his suggestion.

        During the walk to the bus, it was a comfortable silence between them. They enjoyed each other's company with their hands intertwined. With the bus stop a few feet away, Kuroo tightened his grip on m/n's hand and stopped in his tracks. M/n noticed and halted in his tracks, turning around and looked at Kuroo, confused.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

    Kuroo gulped and looked at his partner in the eyes before gently pulling him, closing the gap in between their bodies as he slowly linked their lips together. M/n's body melted into Kuroo's arms as he wrapped his arms around Kuroo's neck, gently pulling him closer. They broke the passionate kiss to catch their breaths, Kuroo smiled and landed his forehead on m/n's before saying, "Be safe, call or text me when you get home, okay?"

"Okay, goodnight, Kuroo-san," M/n smiled as Kuroo released his tight grasp, letting the model go as he began walking towards the bus stop, seeing the bus already there. One final glance behind, he saw Kuroo watching him walk away. A smile appeared on his face as he got on the bus and went back home.

"Hey, m/n!" Yamamoto shouted as he burst into the classroom. Alarmed, everyone including m/n and Kenma who was talking about animal crossing shot their heads to the door, seeing Yamamoto panting loudly.

"What's up?" M/n asked as he got up from his seat and went over to the panting teammate of his.

    Yamamoto continued to pant before holding up his hand, in a way to say 'wait a minute'. M/n nodded as he let Yamamoto catch his breath. After a few seconds, Yamamoto finally could stand properly as he pulled out his phone, flashing a picture of m/n and Kuroo... kissing?

"W-what... is this?" M/n asked, having all the color from his face drained. Yamamoto had a concerned look on his face as he softly wrapped his arm around the model's back before calling Kenma over.

The three went to the stairwell as Yamamoto set m/n down on the stairs. The model had a look of shock, fear, and worry plastered on his face. Kenma looked at the mohawked male and lifted an eyebrow for an explanation.

"Well, I was scrolling through Twitter this morning and I came across an article concerning our friend, m/n here. Of course, I was curious, not every day I see an article about him, it said,
'Young volleyball prodigy and model caught kissing with an unknown male! The scandal of the century!', I immediately recognized who was in the picture, I just couldn't believe you guys got caught,"

    M/n grew more worried as he fell into despair. The very thought of getting into a scandal was scary. The next thought that came from his mind was hurting Kuroo more because of his career. He brought his knees up to his chest, landing his head on his knees, covering his head with his hands as small sobs came from him.

"Hey, hey... don't cry..." Kenma said as he sat down next to m/n, gently rubbing his back in soothing circles.

Yamamoto nodded as he sat down on the other side of the model, patting his head gently, "let's go talk with Kuroo first, he might not know about this article,"

"O-okay..." M/n mumbled, lifting his head and wiping the tears off his face as Yamamoto helped him up.

    They headed to Kuroo's class where they saw him sitting on a desk while talking with a circle of people around him that consisted more females than males. And then there's Yaku who smacked Kuroo's head, telling the rooster head that his beloved m/n was at the door.

"M/n! what's up? You never come over," Kuroo asked as he arrived at the door. He noticed how puffy m/n's eyes had been and grabbed his wrist before closing the door behind him. He leaned down to m/n and eyed his partner in the eye. Before he had the chance to, m/n looked away.

"Kuroo, did you hear?" Yamamoto asked.

Kuroo sighed and looked at Yamamoto and shook his head, "I don't know what you're talking about, but if you're here, that means it's pretty serious, huh?"

Kenma nodded as Yaku walked out of the classroom, joining their little discussion. "Maybe we shouldn't stand near the door, let's go somewhere else,"

All of them agreed as they walked away from the classroom towards the corridor near the volleyball gym. All of the were suspiciously quiet during the walk, which was unusual for Yamamoto to stay that quiet for that long.

"So, what's wrong? Heard about what?" Kuroo asked as m/n sighed, signaling Yamamoto to tell him.

    After the explanation, Kuroo nodded, showing that he understands the situation. M/n was confused at why Kuroo looked so calm when he was panicking. He realized he was just overreacting, it wasn't a big deal, right? I mean, if his company fired him, he could still find a job later in the future, right?

"Are you okay, m/n?" Kuroo asked, tapping his shoulder softly. M/n looked up at Kuroo after heaving a loud sigh and smiled.

"Yeah, I'm fine, don't worry about it,"
