"Kuroo?"

Tsukishima was more than just a little surprised. He was just about to go to his next class when he accidentally bumped into what he'd rather call an unfortunate meeting near the university circle. The weather today was already very uncooperative, and the blazing sun was enough to tip his emotions off the balance. He thought nothing could annoy him more, but his grip on the textbooks he was holding became a little tighter as he glared daggers at Kuroo. The man, who seem to be the source of Tsukishima's annoyance, casually stood in front of him and only raised a hand and waved at him.

"Yo. Didn't know you go here too."

Tsukishima only avoided Kuroo's gaze, fixed his glasses and quickly turned to leave. He definitely didn't want to get caught up in another one of his mischiefs. He had had enough of him.

"Rude aren't you?" Kuroo said, though his voice almost swallowed up by the bustling crowd of university students, it was audible enough for Tsukishima's eat to pick and for him to turn around on his heels and walk back to him.

"Fine. What is it this time?" Tsukishima asked, his eyebrows furrowed, his hands placed inside his pockets. Why he turned back and approached Kuroo, he himself didn't know what the reason was. He could've just ignored him and walked but somehow, he felt it was the right thing to do.

Kuroo only stifled a chuckle and smiled his cheshire cat smile. He stepped closer towards Tsukishima and placed a hand on his shoulder. The warmth radiating off from Kuroo's hand on his shoulder sort of irritated him; he almost shrugged it off if not for the question raised. "What time does your classes end?"

Tsukishima clicked his tongue. He could already imagine the various dirty business Kuroo would plead him to do. "That's none of your business."

"Persistent aren't you?" Kuroo said, dropping his hand off Tsukishima's shoulders. Tsukishima was already ready to leave when Kuroo suddenly called out again.

"See you later at 3p.m. after your class."

"How did you-" Tsukishima wanted to ask, but Kuroo has already gone out of sight, blending in with all the other students.

By the time his class ended, Tsukishima had already decided to quickly leave for the bus in order to avoid Kuroo, only to bump into him again outside the class among all the other students.

Kuroo caught Tsukishima by his wrist and pulled him aside. "Trying to escape? Hey, don't be a coward."

Tsukishima heaved a heavy sigh, moved aside from the door to allow other students to leave the lecture hall and turned towards Kuroo.

"How did you know I was here?"

Kuroo let out a light chuckle and said, "The textbook you are holding. We're in one class."

Tsukishima raised an eyebrow, almost in disbelief. "I didn't see you in class just now," Tsukishima replied, fixing his glasses.

"I skipped," Kuroo said. "Class is too boring."

"Then why even bother coming here? Just stay at home."

Kuroo shook his head at Tsukishima's reply. He then replied, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips, "Obviously because I wanted to see you."

Tsukishima could only remain silent, or rather, he couldn't bring himself to come up with a sensible response. However, before he could think of an appropriate reaction, Kuroo suddenly got a hold of Tsukishima's wrist and dragged him along. Tsukishima could only curse as he tried to regain his footing and keep up with Kuroo.

"Where the hell are you bringing me? Stop this, you-"

"Oh, just shut up megane kun. We're going on an adventure!" Kuroo said as he raised his arm and pointed forward despite Tsukishima tyring to wriggle out of his grasp.

True enough, Kuroo kept his words. He brought Tsukishima to the best ramen place in town, where they ate and chatted, though Kuroo did most of the talking, and Tsukishima would most of the time reply with a yes or a no. Kuroo even caught a glimpse of Tsukishima smiling a bit every now then, though Tsukishima probably didn't realize that he himself was smiling. Kuroo had him try snacks that Tsukishima would have never tried, dragged him to stores that sells the most rare items (definitely not ones Tsukishima ever heard of) which Tsukishima would've found annoying if it wasn't…

If it wasn't? Tsukishima stopped on his tracks, right in the middle of the pedestrian walk along the rows of stores. What was I thinking-

"Tsukki?"

The sound of his name coming out from Kuroo pulled him out of his reverie, only to see Kuroo's questioning face right in front of his, close enough to feel his body radiating off him, but not so close that he could feel him breathing right on his face. In no time, Tsukishima could feel heat creeping up his face and he quickly stepped back, almost bumping into an old woman trying to get her way with the groceries, and threw his face out of Kuroo's sight.

"I'm sorry what did you say?" Tsukishima asked, trying his best to regain his composure.

Kuroo knew what exactly was going on and he could only smirk. He could see a faint pink colour along the blonde's cheeks and the slight tremble of his hand as he raised his hand to fix his glasses. "Cute," he whispered to himself as he stifled a laughter.

"What was that?"

"Umm. Nothing."
