"And he was like, this is where I belong!"

Tsukishima could only bury his face in his hands, hiding the blush that had rapidly spread across his face, while Kenma only tried to stifle his laughter, raising his PS to cover his mouth.

On that Saturday, Kuroo had invited Kenma to just chill out in a fast food chain because Kuroo wanted to introduce his new boyfriend to his best friend. It was only a few minutes after they settled in their seats when Kuroo had started to recite the cheesy lines from Tsukishima's huge confession the other day, and much to Kuroo's amusement, Tsukishima had brought his hands to hide his burning face, in the brink of dying from embarrassment.

"Kuroo, please stop that."

"Well, I'm happy for the two of you," Kenma said, taking a sip out of his nearly empty coke cup. "Though I'm a bit jealous."

Kuroo smirked and said, "You and chibi chan can always get back together you know."

Kenma only put down his PS and said, "Hmmm… I'll think about it."

They parted ways right after that, Kuroo going with Tsukishima, and Kenma going the other way. He didn't really want be third wheeling the new lovebirds, and he wanted to stop by the game station anyway, which was the other way.

"So where do you wanna go now? Wanna go watch a movie?" Kuroo asked, kicking pebbles and tiny rocks on their way.

"I'm not really against that but… I'd rather we just talk," Tsukishima said, turning his head away from the other, but Kuroo caught the light tint of color spreading across his face and chuckled. Stepping closer to Tsukishima, he brushed their hands slightly against each other. It made Tsukishima jump a little, but Kuroo quickly grabbed on his hand, intertwining their fingers and gave him a reassuring look.

"It's fine, no one pays attention anyways," Kuroo whispered, only loud enough for Tsukishima to hear.

"I hope you're right."

They strolled around a nearby park for the rest of the afternoon, and since Tsukishima only wanted to talk, Kuroo had insisted they ask each other 'yes' or 'no' questions. They were no longer holding hands, because Tsukishima was still rather uncomfortable about it, but Kuroo occasionally brushes the back of his hands against Tsukishima's, sometimes hooking one of his fingers to Tsukishima's. The other doesn't really complain about it anymore, but Kuroo could tell that he's nervous from the constant fidgeting and the cheeks that were slightly dusted red.

"Have you ever played under the rain?" It was Kuroo's turn to ask.

"Hmm… once. I think."

"How was it?"

"It's my turn to ask isn't it?" Tsukishima said, lightly jabbing Kuroo's sides with his elbow.

If Kuroo were to be honest to himself, he wanted to do so much more. He wanted to pull Tsukishima by his hand and dash along the streets of Tokyo, just like they did back then. He wanted to pull Tsukishima to the corner of a bookstore just to bring his face close to Tsukishima's and kiss him stupid, where they are hidden behind towering bookshelves. Tsukki probably wants to take it slowly, he thought. Or he's just shy and waiting for me to initiate it.

They continued just like that, and before they realised it, they were in front of Tsukishima's apartment. The two of them just stopped and stood there, facing each other, looking into each other's eyes, as if the other would suddenly disappear if they looked away. Kuroo doesn't want to leave, and neither did Tsukishima. Before Tsukishima could excuse himself, Kuroo quickly spoke.

"Tsukishima, one last question."

"What is it?"

"Can I kiss you?"

And for the first time in the whole day, Kuroo heard Tsukishima laugh. He hated admitting it, but it made his heart drop. What is it? Am I not allowed to?

Tsukishima, still laughing, turned to his heels and started unlocking the door to his place.

"I'm sorry…" Kuroo said, scratching the back of his head. "I didn't mean to-" but before Kuroo could finish his sentence, the door in front of him was wide open, Tsukishima standing right beside the door frames with a smile that made Kuroo's heart flutter and grow lighter.

One look into Tsukishima's eyes and Kuroo was immediately sucked in. He wasn't sure what exactly happened, but before he knew it, legs stumbled in to Tsukishima's apartment, and the door behind him was closed shut. Their clothes rustled against each other, leaving almost no distance between them. All he could feel was warmth and the loud thrumming of his heartbeat, and of Tsukishima's heartbeat. He could feel soft lips brushing against his own, the searing heat from his cheeks, and his hands gently cupping another's face. Long fingers found its way to the back of his head, hands curling fists in his hair as Kuroo pressed further, savouring the taste and heat that is only Tsukishima. When they finally broke away from each other, Kuroo leans his forehead against Tsukishima and hears him say something under his breath.

"Did you really have to ask?"

Kuroo chuckles, and Tsukishima could feel it against his forehead. He brings both his hands to cup Kuroo's face, like it's the most precious thing Tsukishima never imagined to have, never thought he would need, but now it's all he'd ever need in his life.
