"Kuroo! Good morning!" Kuroo turned around to see you running towards him with a big smile on your face.

"Kuroo, who is that?" The short boy next to him asked. You jogged up to them and smacked Kuroo on the back. He flinched and groaned at you.

"What's up, dude!" You grinned.

"That hurt, 'dude'." He laughed as he rubbed his back.

"I just patted you, toughen up Captain!" You smirked. You made eye contact with the boy. He looked at you and then at Kuroo.

"Kuroo, is this your girlfriend?"

"Why yes, Kenma, she- oof" kuroo was cut off by you smacking his back again. You looked at the boy and held out your hand.

"Hi, I'm y/n l/n. Call me Y/N!"

"Kenma kozume.." He shook your hand and you could tell he was shocked at your strong grip.

It'd been a few weeks since you'd befriended the bed headed captain. You've really opened up to him and he was shocked at how different you are around him now.

Kenma pulled out his game and began to play as the three of you walked to class. You peered over the boys shoulders and gasped.

"Are you K3nm4 K1ng?"

"Yeah.." You pointed to the boys screen.

"That's me! B1G $¡Mp!" You pointed to one of the usernames on his friend list and Kenmas eyes lit up. He looked up and you smiled.

"Kuroo, I approve this one," he said and walked to class. Kuroo looked so confused and you snickered.

"Alright, and that summarizes the pythagorean theorem. You have until Friday to complete the math packet. If you finish early set it on the desk," the teacher said as he wiped down the board.

You stared at the packet and got right to work. It was fairly easy. You glanced over at Kuroo who was only a few problems behind. He saw you looking and covered his worksheet.

"No cheating!" He whisper yelled at you. You stuck your tongue out at him.

"I wasn't cheating! I'm way ahead of you!" You whispered back. "Plus that one's wrong." You pointed to a problem on his paper.

"Huh? I don't thin-" you flicked the boys forhead and snickered.

"Hehehe!" Kuroo rubbed his forehead and glared at you.

"Ms. L/N and Mr. Kuroo." You flinched when the teacher called your name. "Since you think your conversation is more important than the assignment, you two are on cleaning duty tonight."

"Yessir..." The two of you sighed and got back to work, occasionally giggling when Kuroo got stuck on a problem.

"Quit messing around, dude!" You and Kuroo were cleaning the classroom after school, when he decided it'd be a great idea to chase you around with the dirty erasers.

"Whaat? I'm not doing anything!" He laughed as he clapped the two blocks together, causing a big white cloud to appear. "I'm just cleaning the erasers, 'dude'!"

"Yeah, and chasing me with them!" You giggled and waved the cloud away. Well actually you waved it right into your face by accident. And now you were choking on chalk dust.

"K-kuroo! *COUGH COUGH* Ku- *COUGH COUGH*"

"RAHAHAHAHAHA- I CAN'T BREATHE! Y/N OH MY GOSH!" Kuroo started to laugh at you hysterically. You calmed yourself down, but Kuroo was still losing it.

"What a good friend you are! I could have dieeeed!" You dramatically drag out your sentence and Kuroo holds his sides. You walk over to playfully push his shoulder.

Thump!

As you were walking over to him you tripped over the leg of the desk and fell to the ground. You weren't hurt though, something cushioned your fall.

"Y/n? What did you trip over, your feet?" He laughed as you pushed yourself off of him.

"No, it was the desk!" You yell to hide your embarrassment. You pat yourself off and help Kuroo up. "Are you okay?"

"I'm all good. Come on, lets get to cleaning." Kuroo smiled and picked up the erasers.

You grabbed a wash cloth and started wiping down the desks. A comfortable silence feel between the two of you. You never thought you'd befriend someone like Kuroo. Well actually didn't think you'd befriend someone who could tolerate your craziness.

"Hey, are you free Saturday?" Kuroo asked, wiping down the board. You were silent for a second before answering.

"Yeah, why?" You finished the desks and turn to Kuroo. He was facing the opposite direction.

"Well, my team is having a practice match against Karasuno Saturday morning."

"For real?"

"Mm. Feel free to come by and watch. If you want to."

"I'd love to watch your butt get whooped! Count me in." You smiled as Kuroo looked at you. His face screamed disappointment.

"Text me the details later, alright?" You finished cleaning and grabbed your bag. Kuroo followed you and walked with you to the school gates.

"See ya later, Kuroo!" You threw up a peace sign and walked home as Kuroo waved to you. The cool breeze howled in Kuroo's ears as he waited for his friend.

Then it hit him. You were on top of him when you fell! Your legs were tangled together and your hands were on his chest. Kuroo felt his face flush.

Geez...

The Karasuno volleyball team is so fun to hang around! However, Kuroo feels weird about the way you talk to...
