Trying Something New | Haikyuu!!

1 | I have a question

Bokuto and Kuroo were the last ones in the gym, telling the rest of the guys that they didn't mind cleaning and locking up even though Bokuto didn't want to. Although, Kuroo mentioned to him that he wanted to talk to him one on one.

So there they were cleaning up in silence when Bokuto piped up, "So what did you want to talk to me about?"

"Um, well, its nothing bad, I just didn't want to say it out loud with everyone else here in case you reacted weirdly." Kuroo said, trying not to look the slightest it nervous.

"Hmm, not sure if that should make me feel better or not. Shoot." As Bokuto waited for a response, he noticed a pink tint form on Kuroo's cheeks. It's because we were just working out, though, right? He thought to himself.

Kuroo took a deep breath to shake off the nerves he had then just blurted out, "How do you get your ass to look like that?"

"Huh? Wha?" Asked the Owl, a pink tint forming on his own cheeks while Kuroo started to turn red.

"Well, out of all of us here- hell, out of anyone I've ever played against- you're probably the only one I've seen who not only has the biggest muscles, thick thighs, but you also have a nice ass, bro." Kuroo tried to explain, choosing his words wisely so as to not weird out the Owl and ruin their bromance. "Like, I'm jealous, to be honest. What do you eat? What's your workout routine? I'm kinda trying to bulk up myself, too." He continued, a bit embarrassed by his little confession.

"Woah, well I've shown you what the weight training room looks like at school- although, I can probably lift a little more than when I did back when I showed you those pics. And what I eat? I'd say "anything and everything"! Except Akaashi kinda monitors what I eat- mostly to prevent me from eating anything that could be bad for me, though!" Bokuto responded, really embarrassed about confessing the last part. A quick flashback of what happened last year flashed though his mind when he got food poisoning and couldn't practice for almost a week and Akaashi had t basically nurse him back to health, while also scolding him and letting him know he'll be watching what he eats from then on.

"It's okay, man." Kuroo chuckled, trying not to burst out laughing as he knew about the incident through Kenma. "I was just curious is all; didn't know Akaashi cared about you like that." He added, insinuating something in his tone.

"Oh, ha ha," the Owl mocked, trying not to blush, then quickly added with a smirk, "I didn't know you liked checking me out, Kuroo."

"Wha-? Wait- who-? Trying not to look like a tomato, Kuroo tried to collect his thoughts, "I wasn't "checking you out" per say, I was simply stating and complimenting you on your physique." Smooth.

"Hmm, so you don't find me attractive?" Bokuto commented with his head tilted a bit to the side and a raised eyebrow, a little sadness heard in his voice. Or was that curiosity?

"Well, I can't lie to you, man. You're pretty hot! Any girl, or guy, would be lucky to be with you. Now, would I date you? Not sure, don't know how I'll feel about the distance." Kuroo answered honestly, almost regretting getting too detailed in his explanation since Bokuto only asked him a simple "yes or no" question. He is not blushing; nope.

"Huh, interesting. Didn't know you saw me that way, Kuroo." He said with a it of tease in his tone, holding back a smirk as he noticed the Cat looking a little red.

"L-let's just finish cleaning up, alright? That's all I wanted to ask." Kuroo said trying to change the topic.

"You sure that's all you wanted to ask? 'Cause I feel like there's something else you wanted to ask me, or am I wrong?" Teased Bokuto with an eyebrow raised.
