I sigh as I sit my pin down. Winter break is this week and not very many of us are left on campus. I could have easily gone home to see my parents but I decided to stay behind. The peace and quiet around here was too much to pass up. Besides I also get to avoid him, Kuroo. Most people would be excited to see their best friend but when you're in love with them it makes things a little different. I hear my phone ring again making me glance at it. I see Kuroo is calling me once again. What is this, his 10th time today.

I slide off my bed grabbing a tea from my mini fridge and freezer. I really should stock up on some food for the week. God I really don't feel like going out there. I hear my phone go off and I walk over to it picking it up to see I got a text.

Kuroo: What are you doing Kenma?

Kuroo: You better not be ignoring me for some game

I chuckle. If only. I decide to suck it up and get dressed. It is pretty cold out that I actually want to put a hat on my head. I get bundled up pretty well with a scarf and snow boots in case it starts to snow. I put on my headphones turning on some music to sooth me on my mini adventure. I make sure I have my key and my wallet before heading out the door. I made sure to get a single dorm. There was no way in hell I was going to share with some annoying stranger.

I make my way out of the building with the cold hitting me in the face hard. Shit, I hope it doesn't snow. At this rate it could freeze over during the night. Well it's not like I would need to go anywhere anyway. I head down the side walk thinking of some easy things to grab for my room when I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around and see Kuroo towering over me with his 6'2, his usual hair style accompanied by a wide smile. I stare deeply into his dark brown eyes wondering what the fuck is he doing here?

"Hey," he greets. "Why aren't you answering your phone? I have been calling you all morning!" Kuroo is also wearing a scarf but he refuses to put on a hat messing up his hair.

"I was studying," I reply. Not all lies, I was studying until I decided to get some food for the week. "What are you doing here?" I begin to walk again with Kuroo walking beside me.

"I haven't seen you in a while," he explains. "How come you didn't tell me you weren't going to be home for winter break?"

"It was a last minute decision," I lie.

"Oh," says Kuroo. "I thought you would be happy about getting away from campus for a week."

"Why would you think that?" I asked. "On my floor it is only me and one other person. It's the perfect time for me to get stuff done."

"Stuff done?" huffs Kuroo. "Like what? I can't believe you would turn down a week of gaming." I brought a TV this past semester so I could game. It was really interesting rearranging my room to see if I could make it look nice still without it being overcrowded. Trust and believe these dorm rooms are really small.

"I got things covered," I replied seeing the small super market come into view. Thank god, it's cold as hell out here. "Is everything okay? I'm not use to you rushing over here to my school." Kuroo and I go to different schools as we got accepted for different scholarships. He is not far or anything but he is still focused on volleyball while I got a scholarship for graphic design. I mostly wanted a degree in computer science to design video games and that's about it. Volleyball was fun but it was not my end story.

"I will save that for a little later," he smiles making my heart flutter. I look away glad that cold can hide the fact I'm blushing. "What brought you out in this weather anyway?"

"I need food for the week," I explain. "You know since I'm not going home and the cafeteria will be closed."

"Good point," says Kuroo. "Does this market have good ramen?"

"It's decent," I reply as we reach the doors. I head inside grabbing a hand basket. "How are things with you?"

"Oh man," he exclaims. "Where do I start? Like we will start practice following winter break. You know I practice all year around though. So it was pretty entertaining practicing with Oikawa and Iwaizumi as they had some little falling out or something." Oikawa and Iwaizumi according to Hinata have been dating for a year. I remember when Hinata thought Oikawa was into Kageyama and damn near had a heart attack. He was so happy when he found out that wasn't true. Those two only get along solely for volleyball.

"I'm sure things are fine or whatever," I say making my way into the bread aisle. Kuroo proceeds to update me on some old teammates. It's amazing how we all ended up in different places but at least we're all in school trying to get a better future for ourselves. I load up my basket with everything I think I will want for the week. Trying to predict my cravings can be hard at times. We make our way to the check out and I pay for my items. Kuroo takes my bags from me as soon as we're outside.

"I can carry these for you," he states holding the bags. I don't even bother arguing with him over it as I really didn't feel like carrying them to begin with. I wonder what does he have to tell me? It has to be good news because if it was bad he would have been crying by now. Kuroo does cry and it is very rare. It's what I love about our friendship, he completely trusts me, with everything. "You in there Kenma or are you listening to music again?"

"I'm here….."I reply pulling out my keys to run my badge to get into the dorm. I heard nothing he said and I pray to god it wasn't important. I get nervous the closer we get to my room. Kuroo has never been inside it, I wouldn't let him. Since he needs to talk to me I decided to let him inside. I can tell he is excited about this as he is grinning hard. I open the door letting him walk in first.

My twin extra long is in the along the back wall. It's right underneath a window which is probably not the best spot to put my bed but it allows me to use the space better. Across from the foot of my best is a 3 chest dresser that holds my TV. To the left of the TV is a shelf with my game systems and favorite games since I could not bring them all with me. Then there is the closet. Not that I have a lot of clothes anyway.

I take the bags walking to my mini fridge and freezer. Above it is a small microwave. Next to it is my bookcase with my school books and then my desk. That pretty much concludes my room. I do have my favorite game poster up but other than that it looks plain.

"This is so nice," says Kuroo looking around.

"Glad you think so," I reply as I put up my food. I remove my coat putting it on the back out of my chair. I notice Kuroo is taking his off as well.

"Is it okay if I hang out with you tonight?" he asks.

"It's fine," I replied.

"Cool," he says removing his shoes. He was wearing sneakers as usual. He puts his coat with mine and comes to sit on my bed. He looks so large on it. "I can order in for dinner if you like." I am hungry, I certainly will not turn down that offer.

"You're paying," I note as I walk over to my dresser. I look at Kuroo and he is busy on his phone. I take a deep breath as I begin to change into my comfy clothes. It always makes me nervous to undress in front him. It's hard to explain. Once I'm settled in I get on the bed next to Kuroo I decide to find out what he wants to discuss. "So what did you want to tell me?" Kuroo grins.

"My couch sent in a recommendation with my application to join the Olympic volleyball team," he explains. My eyes widen in surprise.

"Kuroo that is awesome," I smile.

"Thank god try outs are right after my season at school ends," he explains. "I mean you have any idea how many people apply to join their team. Only a certain amount of people even get elected to go try out." I nod remembering when he researched their process in high school, too much work if you ask me.

"Congrats," I reply. "If there is anyone who can make it to joining the team it's you." Kuroo pulls me in for a hug. I try not to melt into it but it's getting hard since he is not letting go. I pat his back as a sign for him to let up but he doesn't. "Kuroo…" He pulls away looking down at me.

"Sorry I kind of miss you," says Kuroo looking at me. I can feel my face heat up and I look away from him clearing my throat.

"What did you order?" I asked.

"Well it's cold out" he explains. "So I order some udon and sushi."

"Nice choice," I note.

"Thanks," he replies. "So did you want to play a game?" I can't focus on my game with him here, I can't tell him that either.

"We can watch a movie or whatever," I explain. "Plus it will be easier for me to stop once the food arrives." Kuroo raises an eyebrow.

"I'm going to sign for the food anyway," he explained.

"He won't be able to get in," I reply. "Did you at least tell them to inform you when they are here?"

"Yes," says Kuroo puffing out his chest. "They are going to call or text me." He is holding up his phone waving it about when it starts ringing. "Wow that was fast." He glances at the screen before answering. "Bokuto, what's up buddy?" His phone volume is up loud so I can hear Bokuto clearly.

"I got accepted to try out for the Olympics!" he exclaims. "Fuck yeah!" Kuroo laughs.

"I got my letter last week," he smirks.

"Awww really," pouts Bokuto. "Whatever man, at least I will be there."

"Right," gushes Kuroo. "I can't believe this is even happening."

"It's all we talked about for years," says Bokuto. "I'm sure we will be on the team." Bokuto laughs. "You think the girls are chasing you now just you wait."

"Whatever," says Kuroo brushing it off which is surprising. He loves being the center of attention at times. He has dated a few girls and not a single one of them I liked. They were either clingy or superficial in some kind of way. I still remember when he lost his virginity to Jeniko. I almost growl remembering him brag about it to me. Okay he wasn't bragging but he was excited to no longer be a virgin. I don't know why I was so mad. It's not like I expected him to lose his virginity to me.

"What about that one girl that confessed recently?" asked Bokuto. I notice Kuroo is blushing and that is all I need to see. I look away grabbing the remote to my TV. I cut it on going to firestick to find something for us to watch. Kuroo gets up a while later still talking with Bokuto.

"Kenma, I'm going to the front to get the food," he explains.

"Okay," I reply not taking my eyes off the TV. He heads out the room and I feel like I can breathe a little easier. I'm not so sure if this was really a good idea. My heart is hurting a little, then to listen to all these girls chasing him….it makes me sad. I want Kuroo to be completely happy but it is still hard for me because I love him so much. I find something I think I wouldn't mind watching. Kuroo comes back into my room no longer on the phone locking my door.

"It is seriously a ghost town here," he states.

"I'm sure your school is the same way," I note. "I have some forks on my bookcase."

"They gave us forks and chopsticks," says Kuroo sliding his shoes off. He sits down on the bed handing me my udon first. I'm pretty excited about eating this at the moment. Kuroo was looking at the screen. "What's this?"

"Classic TV show," I explain. "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"

"Sounds interesting….." he notes getting comfortable against my bed.

"Hinata told me about," I explain. "Sounds pretty cool." I squeeze next to Kuroo which isn't so hard since I'm such a small guy. I happily eat my udon playing the first episode. This show is old but pretty damn good. Kuroo and I are completely engaged into the show. I'm not pleased when my sleepy nature is kicking in. I yawn trying to stay awake but it's getting harder as the night wears on. I don't feel bad when I realize Kuroo is sleep. When did that happen?

I slide out of my bed putting up my left over udon and some left over sushi. Kuroo pretty much killed his food but he is much bigger than me so I should not be surprised by this. He has got to feed those muscles somehow. I walk over shaking him lightly.

"Kuroo," I say softly. "Can you at least get under the covers." Kuroo groans. I watch as he stands up removing his shirt causing me to almost get hard instantly. I almost loose it when he drops his pants. "What are you doing?"

"You expected me to sleep in my clothes?" he questions. He yawns. "Tired as fuck…." Kuroo gets under the bed as I sigh following behind him. I lay beside him wondering how did it even come to this? I really just wanted to hang out. He was not suppose to be here in bed, spending the night but here we are. I turn on my side facing the wall getting comfortable. I'm almost sleep when Kuroo pulls me close to his chest. In this moment I'm so tired and so happy I just go with it drifting off to sleep soundly.
