A Black Cat's Luck

Chapter 277: Facing Truths

Ever since he'd been sick, both Kuroo and Kagome had given the curse's facets more thought.

They were together for a reason, they knew. It was to help each other, that much had been made clear. But the question was how?

Kagome had friends and family that loved her. The her they knew.

Kuroo had a fulfilling school and home life. For the most part.

It took some pondering, but thinking back on their time together, each eventually arrived at the same answer on their own.

The secrets, the misdirecting smiles, the happy masks. Deep down, they were both lonely.
