"Hey kenma"

Kenma's gaze didn't move his mind was racing he couldn't focus on anything he was lost he couldn't get out he was taped he needed kuroo were was he why had he gone it was true he hated him didn't he he'd done it one lost the only person he cared about in the world why did it happen why what did he do to make him hate him so much as to leave him like this it wasn't until he saw a shadow in front of him did he start hearing what was being said

"Hey hey don't go came back hey your ok I'm here I haven't gone any were I know what your thinking don't go I'm not leaving"

Kenma slowly looked up at kuroo it was hazy and it took a few blinks for his sight to clear when he saw kuroo in front of him him eyes watered then the sobs came loud and violent he let himself be pulled into kuroo's arms and started rubbing small circles on his back

"Where'd you go ... I ... I ...needed you "

Kenma was hiccuping and was not brearing very well his lungs hurt from all the crying

"Shush it's OK it's OK your gonna be OK I'm here I needed to call my mum so school would know that we weren't going to be in today ok it alright your safe your safe now I'm not going to leave it's ok"

Kuroo was rubbing circles his back he knew he had to get him to talk but how he didn't know he had to know two things about this one who was the name on his back and two what happened and if he needed to come to his for a few days he wasn't sure if kenma would talk to him yet he needed to do what he did whenever kenma shut down so he Un attached himself from the boy and got up only then did he hear him speak

"No...no kuroo dint go"

Kuroo moved back to him and knelt down before him so he could look at him properly

"Hey I'm not going to leave I'm just getting you some clothes u can't stay in your uniform all day now can you?"

Kenma noded slowly and let kuroo go kuroo turned around when he tough it was safe to he went over to the wardrobe and looked for some clothes for kenma to change into he saw some plain joggers that he had seen him waring and then saw an old shirt of his that he had given to him to help on stormy nights a few years ago picking it up he remembered how much kenma had been stubon enough about not giving it back to him he was glad he still had it it made him feel needed so it was nice to know kenma cared in his own little way kuroo closed the wardrobe and went back to the boy sitting on the bed like how he was left he placed the clotus next to him he normaly changed by himself so he turned around he knew he was self-conscious about how he looked but when he didn't hear anything he looked over his shoulder kenma hadn't moved at all

"Hey"

"Huh?"

Kenma looked up at the tall boy in front of him he wasn't sure why he hadn't started changing maybe he didn't want to he couldn't tell really

"Kenma you can't stay in your school uniform you need to change"

"No I can and I will"

"No you can't you need to change if you don't I will"

"Go ahead then"

Kenma looked up with a fire in his eyes he wasn't backing down he was hoping that it would make him drop the subject and just leave it alone

"OK I will"

"Wait ...wha!?"

Kenma was taken off his gard by kuroo suddenly pulling him up from the bed and easily pulling his school shirt off leavinhim in his sleep shirt as he was about to move to his trousers kenma stope him abruptly

"OK ok I get it I'll change turn around"

"Nope I'm going to makeep sure that you will or I will do it for you"

Kenma sighed he wasn't going to win so he maze as well get it over and done with so there he slowly pulled his top off he didn't keep any eyecontact with him he knew the bruising was on the his sides and near the front of his body and was praying that kuroo wouldn't notice

"Why is my name on your side?"

Kenma paled it was the one thing he didn't want him to see it was the worst thing to ever happen to him right now he was dredging what he would say would he hit him too just like his farther did he didn't want to do this not right now not today not any day he fell to the floor crying harder then he did before he wasn't ready for this he was hoping that he would never find out he was never to find out he wasn't ever supposed to know

"I'm sorry please don't leave I'm sorry"

Kenma repeated the same words over and over again between raged breaths kuroo was at a lost kenma was marked it ment the name was who his soulmate he couldn't stop the smile that started to grow on his face it was brilliant he was kenmas soulmate it was a good day after all he couldn't find any other thing to be but happy he was happy right now

"What are you smiling right now"

He was angry now how the hell could he start smiling like that it was ridiculous he just saw his name on him any normal or sane person would be pissed and that's what he was right now pissed cause kuroo had decided to start laughing at him why the hell he found this funny he didn't know but he was going to find out

"Why are you laughing at me"

"Because I want to ask you something do you like me as in like me like me"

"Yes you stupid fool I love you! "

"Good"

"Why ... wait what? did you just say good?"

"Yes cause I love you too"

Kenma was taken a back by that here he was standing in front of his best friend half naked and bright red he had not ment to let that secret loose he was regretting it already he looked up at kuroo to find in smiling at him slight blush to his cheeks his eyes souly on kenma he moved slowly towards him careful not to scare him as he came closer he reached out to him placing a hand on his check gently guiding him toward himself when close enough kuroo leaned down and pulled kenma's lips to his own soft and slow he didn't want to rush or scare him he wasn't expecting kenma to run his toughn against his lips in order to deep the kiss as kuroo allowed kenma to lean a small moan escaped from the shorter boy when the parted for air both were blushing deeply kuroo was the first to speak

"So will you be my boyfriend then?"

"God yes you fool"
