Kuroo's thumb slid across the screen as he scrolled through Instagram. With a ping, Kuroo was notified that Bokuto texted him.
[Bokuto]: Guess what!
[Bokuto]: Wait no!
[Bokuto]: I'll tell you!
[Bokuto]: I met my soulmate!
That's great! Tell me all about it: [Kuroo]
[Bokuto]: He's great! He likes volleyball!
[Bokuto]: He's pretty cute too!
[Bokuto]: He's pretty quiet but we hit it off!
[Bokuto]: Speaking of soulmates, have you texted Kenma?
I haven't, I don't want to scare him away too soon: [Kuroo]
He's pretty shy.:[Kuroo]
I mean it's not a bad thing, it's pretty cute: [Kuroo]
[Bokuto]: Text him. It's been 3 days.
[Bokuto]: Listen to your amazing friend for he knows all.
[Bokuto]: You know I'm right.
Kuroo did that exactly, he texted Kenma but he didn't know what to say.
Hey, it's Kuroo :) : [Kuroo]
[Soulmate] (Kenma): Hey

[Soulmate] (Kenma): I just finished a game.

This was a question that pained Kenma. He wanted to go but the doctors said it was best to keep him home.
[Soulmate](Kenma): I was for a while but when my lungs got bad,
I had to drop out.

[Soulmate](Kenma): No, it's okay.

[Soulmate](Kenma): Just pick a date and I'll tell you if I can.
Really?: [Kuroo]
I'm not being too much?: [Kuroo]
[Soulmate](Kenma): No, I'd be happy to meet up.
In reality, Kenma was shaking. He was unsure of what he'd just agreed to. This was something big. Did he really have no inhibition around Kuroo? He just felt like it was right.
Listen, I'd love to keep texting but I have a class in 10:[Kuroo]
I'll text you later: [Kuroo]
Is that okay?: [Kuroo]
[Soulmate](Kenma): I'd like that.
[Soulmate](Kenma): Talk later.
Kenma allowed himself to drop his phone on the bed. Placing both hands on his face, Kenma smiled into his hands. His emotions were all over the place; he could only describe how he felt as a flutter. He could only feel happiness. Kuroo was something else, he was a wonderful escape. Kuroo made Kenma feel like something different; he didn't feel like the cancer guy with Kuroo and that made him happy. It made him feel alive again, like he felt on court in the middle of a game.
