kenma
hey, are you ready
to play yet ?

kenma
if you're not
it's not rush just
let me know

(y/n)
i'm logging on right now
do you wanna like voice chat
or something to make it easier


you were waiting for kenma to respond but he was taking a while. you scrolled back up to his nintendo and dodo code that he'd sent earlier and went to the home screen of your switch to add him to your friends list.

"(y/n)." you turned in your chair towards the door where you heard your mother calling your name. you both almost looked alike, but you've heard others say that you favor your father mostly.

"yes?" you kept your tone as neutral as you could to avoid anything. had your tone been rough she'd catch an attitude, had it been sickly sweet, she'd pry into your business. had your tone been monotoned she'd think you'd had an attitude, which you wouldn't have had one but the fact that she'd falsely accuse you of having one would cause you to catch one. so overall neutral was the tone you'd speak in to avoid conflict.

"you know your brother is coming saturday. so you should clean it before he comes and be on your best behavior." you inwardly rolled your eyes at her obviously blatant favoritism that she claimed she didn't have. you turned back in your seat so that your back was facing her, your silk (f/c) bonnet tickled your neck as you did. you saw that kenma was calling so you answered but quickly pushed the mute button. "did you hear me." she called in a strong, stern tone.

"yes."

"yes what?" she immediately said. you waited a bit. counting in your head. if you didn't answer her in under five seconds she'd probably take things to the next level. though those rules only applied to you, never her precious son.

four,

five.

you'd always wait till the last second to respond.

"ma'am. yes ma'am." everything was silent  for multiple seconds. nobody talked, nobody moved. after a bit of just standing there and glaring into the back of your head, she finally left, but not before slamming your door enough for your manga collection to tumble to the floor and land with a thud. after a few seconds (so you'd know she was gone) you mumbled a swear word. a prominent attitude etched onto your face.

"(y/n)? you there?"

"oh, kenma! sorry, i was on mute for a bit." he was silent. had he not heard you? oh that's what it was, you forgot to unmute. you looked toward your phone only to find that it was unmuted already. yet another curse tumbled from your mouth. did he hear everything?

"oh. it's cool, that's fine." a sigh of relief left your mouth masked as a chuckle. just then kenma added you back.

"okay, okay! cool!" you went back into the game and talked to isabella (as per usual) and then you continued into the game. you ran around to find the money rock which was luckily close to your house and the first rock you hit.

"i sent you the code, come when you're ready."

"okie doki, i'll come over now."  and so you typed in the dodo code, flew to his island, and met up with him.

it was just as kenma thought, you were the one who's visited his island that one night.

"hey, i came here before right? i mean it would make sense since kuroo and y'know your... nickname is the same as last time so.... and also you still have all the cute islanders and... yeah" you came to the conclusion that you had played with kenma previously.

"yeah, it i mean you were quite unexpected i didn't know it was you until like... maybe this morning but y'know it's whatever i guess." you two were quiet after that. you just ran around his island greeting his cute islanders as he ran off and did whatever he did.

you hummed a tune to yourself not knowing what else to do. you'd shaken the trees and pocketed the cherries that were either native to his island or he'd brought over from another.

"you're bored aren't you?"

"was it obvious?" you chuckled as you repositioned yourself in the seat.

"ehh, a shot in the dark i guess. plus i'm a bit bored too... how bought we play something else."

"actually... if it's not too late for you." you checked the time but it wasn't too late. "do you maybe wanna go to the arcade?"
