Chapter Text
Kuroo sigh loudly and close a guidance books for student thesis with a small thump. The deadline for his proposal are getting closer and even though he know what he want to make, writing report definitely is not his expertise. It will be easier if Tsukishima want to help and check his outline, but the said guy rejected both his and Bokuto’s pleading just before they got to offer him some pay back offer. He watch Bokuto amusedly, who open the pages of his book randomly while checking around the library with desperate glances.
“Uh... bro I can’t find what I need in this book. I will try to looking for another one.” He says while also closing his own books and start standing to walk.
Kuroo hold back a grin. Watching his friend who walking too fast to the sport education corner. He didn’t stop watching and granted with a fast glimpse of a grey mop take an sudden turn to literature area, trying to hide himself by walking through the book shelf. He burst out quite chuckles right away.
His chuckles went down when he feel a small buzz from his shorts pocket.

Kuroo gave out a small smile and pack his and Bokuto’s stuff from the table. He start walking to the sport education area when realization hit him and take a turn to literature corner. There he saw Bokuto checking around every single inch of the table and book shelf looking for his first crush.
Of course, Kuroo fully know the reason of daily ‘bro! let’s do our proposal on the public library!’ from Bokuto and get along with it anyway. Because, what is the hurt to watch his best friend who mostly all ‘nah~’ over people around him? Bokuto worth all happiness in the world and he will do whatever he can to help his best bro to get the love!
“Bro~kuto!” He taps Bokuto shoulder lightly and make the other man flinch and turn right away.
“Kuroo! What are you doing here? And what’s that bags for? Are we leaving? But we just spent 3 hours here bro! Too early to leave!” Bokuto starts whining. There is a disappoint look in his face from being unable again to find his crush.
“That’s fine bro. He is not coming here today, perhaps busy with classes. Let’s go, it’s time to leave.” Kuroo push Bokuto bag to his chest and wait until he take the bag out of his hand.
“But... who know, he can be coming soon!” Bokuto replies persistently. He no longer feel the need to hide his motives since Kuroo catch him red-handedly stalking the literature area.
“That’s okay, you will meet him soon.”
“How do you know? How if my chances are today and I lost it because I give up too early?” Bokuto’s still complain but let Kuroo drag him to walk out from the library anyway.
Kuroo stop walking and turn to face Bokuto. There is a suspicious glint in his eyes, “Kei makes progress with Kenma. You know what that means? If we get to know Kenma, we will get to know your Akaashi!”
He grin widely when Bokuto’s face start glowing with excitement.

Bokuto humming during their walk home. He literary skipping his steps, ignoring a weird glances from other passerby who watch the big owl skipping and humming loudly while radiating a super bright spring in the end of autumn.
Kuroo enjoying the Bokuto’s quiet moment and let his mind wander away. Kenma, eh? He think quietly. The small guy definitely is cute, but is not really his type. Too shy and quiet for him. His partners this far mostly are cute, beautiful and aggressive people who entertain him a lot during date. He take a glance to Bokuto who keep grinning from ears to ears and he mumble quietly, “Well, it will be good for a change of air. It will be Kenma next, then.”
