chapter 1: theorizing

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ The pinging on his phone had been continuously coming since he ended his stream last night. He didn't bother checking then as he had wanted to get some rest, but now his curiosity was peaking.

Pulling the phone from out of his pocket, a small smile graces his face when he sees what all the fuss was about. Another round of theorizing from his fans, this time on his love life. These kinds of things are a common occurrence for the young man, theories ranging from his love life to new projects, his fans just can't get enough. He never minds them, in fact, most of the time he likes to hear these theories. Though they can get crazy from time to time, he never bothers to respond to any and likes to keep his supporters continuously guessing.

He supposes the stream was able to hear the siblings' karaoke battle in the background during his stream last night, but he was too immersed in his game to pay them any attention. Afterall like the theories, the siblings' antics are also a common occurrence for him and he's had a decade of experience in tuning them out.

He turns around to face his girlfriend who is sleeping peacefully at the table. Getting up from the couch and picking up a blanket, he walks towards the girl and covers her up, not forgetting to brush the hair out of her face. He looks around the table to see what she was doing, finding a mess of assignments and art supplies and begins to tidy them up for her.

Now taking a seat next to the sleeping girl, he continues to scroll through his phone and read what he's been tagged in. Many tweets on theories, edits of his latest livestream, and other random comments.

First looking at the tweets, his face lights in amusement that he had guessed correctly. Many fans commented on hearing a female voice in the background and expressing their belief that he may have a girlfriend. Not wanting to jump to conclusions, others argue that it may be one of his friends' girlfriends or even just his female friend.

He decides to watch a few of those edits, snickering slightly when he hears Tetsuro's voice cracking in the background followed by the sound of bickering. The two Kuroo siblings were battling it out pretty loudly that it was blatantly obvious someone was in the house other than himself.

'No wonder people are going crazy' he thinks.

The sudden ringing of his phone causes him to jolt slightly. Glancing to the right, he sees his girlfriend start to stir due to the noise. He gets up from the table, rubs her shoulders a bit to soothe her back to sleep, then places a gentle peck on her forehead before quietly moving to a different room to answer the call.

"Kenma, you've seen what people are saying, right?"  The voice of his childhood friend fills his ears.

He only hums in reply. Tetsuro sighs.

"Will you do anything about it this time?"

"They'll figure it out when they figure it out. For now, I don't really care as long as nothing bad is happening" He replies. "Besides, it's not like I'm actively trying to hide my relationship. I bet you're only concerned because there are now edits of your off-key singing." He can't help the grin that forms on his face when he hears his friend groan.

"Huh?! Whatever. I was just making sure you and N/N are alright." Then the phone hangs up.

Kenma looks up to see Y/N shuffling towards him, wrapped up in the blanket he gave her and rubbing her eyes.

"What's going on?" She says as she stifles a yawn. He shakes his head in reply.

"Nothing concerning. That karaoke session last night must've drained all your energy so let's go take a nap because you look tired."

Kenma wraps his arms around the girl and shuffles alongside her to their bedroom. He can't help the smile on his face as he thinks about how close people are to discovering the person who means the most to him.
