KuroKen
(The day is Wednesday cuz why not)
Dragging your boyfriend around town aimlessy is a good idea for a romantic valentines date, right? Wrong. At least that's what Kuroo thought. He tried, he tried so hard to succeed at making his boyfriend happy but you know what? It might just be that Kuroo sucks at romantic gestures all together. But that couldn't possibly be true. After all, Kuroo had done so many things for Kenma before. Like that time that Kuroo, oh, wait. That was something Bokuto had done for Akaashi. Well maybe that time he took Ke- That was something Tsukishima had done for Yamaguchi. Okay, so maybe Kuroo hadn't done many memorable romantic things for Kenma. But that would all change today. Wrong again.
So it all started in the morning, roughly around five am, when Kuroo messaged Bokuto asking for some tips to not feel as nervous as he did.

[To: Hoot Hoot bitch]
Stop. That just...No. I don't need to know that
That was bad enough of a start to the day. Bokuto hadn't made his nerves go down by any percentage, in fact, he kind of made him more nervous. Not knowing why that was, he dragged himself out of the bed. Emphasis on the dragged. He literally dragged himself out. It was from reluctance of going to school. Due to the pressure of giving Kenma the day he deserved, Kuroo really just wanted to stay in his bed. But obviously that's not possible. Who would allow such a thing to happen to Kuroo? Definitely not the higher being somewhere in the sky. Also known as God to some.
Kuroo got ready to leave for the train station to go to school, he ate breakfast, brushed his teeth, packed his bag, got dressed, and did some random thing with his hair that he didn't quite know how to name. Once all those things were complete, he left his house and walked to the train station.
Saying he walked slowly would be wrong. He walked at such an agonizing speed, slower than he had ever walked before, from such a great reluctance of arriving at the station that every single muscle hurt. His mind was left wondering some place completely else, not wanting to think about any of the possible failures that may occure during the day.
"Come on Kuroo, be a man!" He whispered to himself, loud enough for only himself to hear.
"Ahh, man, I don't think I can do this." He whined.
"Maybe I can turn back now."
As those words left his lips, his phone vibrated in his front pocket making him halt. He pulled out his phone and on the screen saw a message from Kenma,
[From: Kitten<3]
Where are you?
[To: Kitten<3]
I'm almost at the station. Give me a sec. I kinda slept in this morning
[From: Kitten<3]
Ok
Kuroo put his phone back into his pocket and began walking again. He was walking back in the direction of the station, not wanting to see Kenma's disappointment or anything of that sort. Luckily, Kenma and Kuroo always go to the station a little earlier (if you can class thirty minutes as a little) in case something like this happened.
Once he finally arrived at the station he spotted Kenma straight away sitting at the bench they usually sat at. He walked over to him, sitting beside him in silence. After a while he said, "Hi."
"Hi," Kenma replied not looking up from his game as usual.
Kuroo stayed quiet after that. He was worrying too much about valentines day again. No matter what he did, he just couldn't shake off this bad feeling that was surrounding him. He didn't want to say anything in case he ruined the day before they even did anything.
When the train came, it felt like Kuroo had been saved. He didn't know why, or what could it have been, but he knew he felt saved. It was just one of those moments where everything seems so awkward and just the thought of getting away seemed like heaven. Yet he was still in this awkward situation where he didn't know what to say to Kenma.
"How are you?" Kuroo asked awkwardly.
"Good, you?" Kenma replied, eyes still glued onto his game.
"Good, good. I'm not too bad myself." Kuroo replied.
It all felt so stupid. They've known each other for so many years yet Kuroo still made small talk with him.
"I see you have a new game," Kuroo pointed out not knowing what else to say.
Kenma just nodded. It was like every time Kuroo tried to say something cool, he stopped himself in a fear of sounding stupid. Once again, he wasn't sure why. It just felt like it every time. Instead of talking, he slid over, closer to Kenma, so that their legs would touch. He put his arm around Kenma's shoulder and just watched him play his game.

"Yo!" Yamamoto shouted at the two boys as they walked in through the school gate.
"Hi," Kenma said shortly, Kuroo's arm still around him.
"Mornin'" Kuroo nodded his head.
They didn't get to talk for much longer due to the overwhelmingly loud bell that had no reason to be of such volume. All the boys seperated, all walking into different directions to go to their classes.
It wasn't fun for Kuroo. Almost though out every lesson his thoughts were on th fact that the day may fail miserably. But as the day progressed, he wasn't as focused on that as he thought he would be. His thoughts were wandering in every direction. He just couldn't seem to control them.
During lunch, Kenma, he, and the rest of the volley ball team, Lev included, sat together at a table out side, not doing anything other than eating and throwing food at each other, that being mainly Yamamoto and Lev because who wouldn't want to fight someone that took your place as the ace.
"Kuroo!" Someone, Yaku, shouted from the other side of the table. The volume of their team mates was so loud that they had to shout.
"What's up?" Kuroo shouted back.
Yaku walked over to him, sitting on his left side with Kenma on Kuroo's right.
"So, what you gonna do for valentines with Kenma?" Yaku asked.
"Um, I think I'm just gonna take him to town?" Kuroo said awkwardly.
Yaku nodded his head. He wasn't sure what else to say after that.
"What about you?" Kuroo said, breaking the silence. Yaku looked up at him confused, "What are you and Lev going to do?"
Yaku looked like he was about to die. His eyes were wide, his face pale and he looked unusually thin.
"W-w-w-what do you mean? I - Me - There is nothing going on between L-Lev and me." Yaku said stuttering.
Kuroo laughed softly, "Okay, what ever you say."

After practise had finished and all the boys were dressed, they all said their farewells and walked in seperate ways. Except for Kuroo and Kenma. They both walked ot the train station. But just as Kenma was about to turn into the subway, Kuroo grabbed hold of him and took him into the center of town.
"This is different." Kenma said, eyes still on his game.
"Well it is valentines day." Kuroo replied, picking up his pace so that they were almost running.
"Where are we going though?" Kenma asked, finally peeling his eyes off his game and putting it away.
"Where would you like to go?" Kuroo asked him.
"Don't mind." He replied simply.
Kuroo nodded his head.
This was going to be a lot more difficult than he ahd imagined.
--
"I'm so sorry!" Kuroo shouted for what seemed like the hundreth time this day.
The two boys had just finished playing a game that Kuroo had found interesting when he saw it. It was a game from a faire, (they had gone to a faire after going many different places) and Kuroo just couldn't seem to do anything right. He had hit Kenma in the head many times and every time the boy ended falling on the floor from the impact.
"It's okay." Kenma said again as he stood up.
"Lets just go home." He said after taking hold of Kuroo's hand.
"Yeah, good idea." Kuroo said.
The two boys walked together to Kenma's house. It was closest to where they were at the moment as they couldn't catch any trains. It's not like they had far to walk from their current location. Just a few minutes and Kenma would be safe at home Kuroo thought to himself.
Kuroo heard a quiet beep, it was Kenma's phone once again.
"Is it Hinata?" Kuroo asked.
"Yeah."
"What's it about?" Kuroo asked curiously.
"He just forgot about valentines day and is asking for help." Kenma said casually.
Kuroo nodded, trying not to laugh.
When they finally did get to Kenma's Kuroo said goodbye and was ready to walk to his house. However, as he was about to walk away, he felt a small hand take hold of his. Kenma intertwined their fingers together and turned Kuroo around so he was facing him. He stood on his tip toes and placed his lips on Kuroo's in a chaste kiss leaving the taller boy in shock. When he pulled back he said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Kuroo said as he kissed Kenma again. All the worry of everything going bad disappeared. The memories of the disaster were gone. All that he could see, feel, hear, was Kenma. Kenma's scent filled his nostrills. His heartbeat was all Kuroo heard. The smaller boys back and face was all Kuroo could feel. Everything was about Kenma.
"Do you want to stay round mine tonight? Mum wouldnt really care and we still have some of your underwear here. Plus, we can always just wash your school clothes. Only if your mum doesn't mind of course." Kenma said in a soft voice leaving Kuroo weak.
"I'm sure she won't mind." Kuroo said taking hold of both of Kenma's hands.
"Stop with the PDA and get inside this instant. It's the middle of February! I don't want Kuroo's mum calling me later to complain that we got her son poorly!" Kenma's mum shouted from the front door.
"Okay Miss Kozume!" Kuroo shouted back.
"I still won't forgive you, by the way." Kenma said as they began walking to the front door.
Kuroo stopped, "What?! Why?!"
"You made me run. And I didn't get any apple pie." Kenma said as he walked through the front door.
"You still love me though." Kuroo said.
"Sure whatever helps you sleep at night." Kenma said.
Kuroo looked at Kenma's mum and whispered, "He so loves me,"
Kenma's mum only shok her head and laughed, "Get upstairs before I throw you out."
"You can't! It's illegal to kick someone out once you invite them in!" Kuroo said trying to act smart. He wasn't dumb. He knew what he was talking about. He just didn't like to show it.
"Not if the person's dead." Kenma said from his room leaving Kuroo scared for his life
Kuroo ran to Kenma's room and tackle him onto his bed.
"You won't try to kill me, will you?" Kuroo asked.
"Depends how myc you annoy me," Kenma says from underneath Kuroo, his arms wrapping around Kuroo's neck.
"I'll try my best not to." Kuroo says.
He leaned down a little bit more until his lips brushed against Kenma's. The moment was perfect. It was like no one else was in the world. Slowly, so slowly it hurt, the two boys closed the gap between their lips. It was as if fireworks had gone off and they were the only people at the show.
"I love you," Kenma whispered against Kuroo's lips.
"I love you too," Kuroo whispered back.
