Chapter Text
Still in surprise Kuroo closes the bathroom door. It’s already late trying to run after Tsukishima. He wasted to many seconds asking himself what he has done wrong.
He looks in the Mirror above the sinks and sees that his normally spiky hair is a bit messed up. He takes another step towards the mirror to get a better view on this chaos on his head. He puts his hair with the help of a little bit water back in place.
What was that? He just left. Why? Was he braking down because of me? But… . In the end he seemed so cold…maybe it was really because of me. Shit. Shit . Shit. I can’t even apologize anymore. I know basically nothing about him but his last name. Shit!
He got his phone out of his pocket and takes a glimpse on the time. It was already 1:30 a.m.. And he promised his grandparents it wouldn’t be so late tonight. He’s wisiting them once a while on weekends here in Miagy. He just hopes that they’re already asleep.
on his way out he checkes his phone another time and opens his chat with Kenma. He starts typing a message to tell him about what just happened but then decides to not tell anyone about that since the man seemed so concerned as kuroo offered to call his friends. Not that he or one of his friends would ever see him again but it would feel like not respecting Tsukishimas personal space.
He walks back to his grandparents house which is just a few blocks away. As he arrives he tries to turn the key as quiet as possible. The lock makes a noise as it opens but not loud enough to wake someone up. On his tiptoes he sneaks into the room his mom used to sleep in when she was a child. Now it’s become basically his room since he wisits them eay more often than she does.
He takes a quick cold shower before he changes his clothes and goes to bed.

The voice of his grandmother wakes him up. „Kuroo, breakfast is ready“. She’s standing in the doorframe holding a plate full of fruits in her hand and starts walking towards the dining room as soon as she sees her nephew slowly getting up.
He ruffels his hand through his hair and grabs his phone. It’s already 11:30 a.m. but it's no surprise considering how late it got yesterday. The memorys from the night started coming back. The pretty face full of angst and horror. He couldn’t do anything against it. I just hope he’s ok now. I wish I could see him again to check on him. It’s a shame I only know his last name.
Kuroo gets out of the bed and puts some clothes on. His normally gelled up hair gives in to gravity and hangs now besides his cheeks. He puts them behind his ears while walking into the dining room where his grandparents already started eating.
“Good Morning“ his grandpa sais looking up from his bread. “Morning“ he responds suppressing a yawn. "Did you have fun last full day here? You came home latly yesterday didn't you? I didn't heard you coming home." "Yea it got a bit late yesterday me and the team captain from Karasuno had a lot to talk about. Espacially because of the upcoming trainings camp." he straight up lies into his grandpas face.
It was a white lie he came up yesterday to leave the house. He doesn't know if his grandparents are against clubbing but he didn't want to risk that they know the gay club he would go to. And he didn't came out to them yet. Not that they are homophobic but to come out to them seems...scary. He could easily lie and say he's going to an other club but since his gandparents still went out in their late 60s he's scared that they would remember these clubs and would ask him out about them. So it was the best solution to just say he's going to Daichi. They don't have to know that they both have besides their rivelry a bit too much pride to really be friends.
"So I suspect the meeting went well." "Yas it did. We talked a lot about volleyballand we could clarify some final details. It was relly helpfull." "Are you gonna kick their butts when you guys play them?" "When they play as unorganized as last time we'll beat them easily:" "That's my grandson" this is so embaressing. Sometimes Kuroo forgets how cringy his grandfather can be but he reminds him every time they see.
After breakfest Kuroo goes into his room to pack his cloths into his way too small suitcase. Was my suitcase also so small when I got here. I have the feeling it shrinked in these three days here. Nevermind I just let some cloths here so when I visit my grandparents next time I don't have to pack so much stuff.
He gets on his train back to Tokyo just on time. He puts his headphones on his ears and listens to some music.

"How was your weekend?" Kenma asks as they were sitting somwhere near the gym in their break. "It was fine" Kenma looks up to him after he defeaded some kind of dragon on his PSP. "It was fine. Thats all?" "Well..." although kuroo decided not to tell someone about the incidence he decides that it should be ok to tell it Kenma. "So I met this one guy at a club. And I mean we haven't talked a lot but he seemed pretty nice and he was really hot. And soo handsome..."Kuroo has no problem being open with his sexuality. He's out to most of his teammates and probably half his school knows about him being bisexual. It's never really been a secret. Even though he didn't officially came out to his parents he thinks they might suspect it as well. "So we made out and stuff and then he got a full on panic attack and I tried to help him but...I don't know I just felt so helpless. Maybe I should have just go cause I'm a bit scared that it was all my falt."
Kenma breafly looks up from his PSP just to continue pressing some buttons afterwards in an abnormal speed "Look I'm sure he didn't get a panic attack because of you. And even if it was because of you I'm sure it would't have been a good Idea to leave him all alone in a club with a panic attack." he sais in his monotone voice while continuing pressing all those buttons. "You know you could be a volleyball genius if you would play with the same passion and the same speed" "Shut up" Kuroo could hear this slight but playful annoyance "But seriously, you've been great helping me with my panic attacks so I think you probably made a solid job."
That was true. Kuroo has helped him often back then when he regularly got panic attacs in school. But this is different. He knows Kenma. He knows that he always got nervous when there where many people around or when he was the center of atention. So he knew he could just lead him to a quiet place and give him his headphones so he could listen to music while he stays around. He knew what he needs in what situation. But he didn't know why Tsukishima paniced. He didn't know what he needed. And it would have been inappropriate to ask the reasons since they barely knew. But he dosen't want to argue about that with Kenma right now so he just starts talking about something else.
Training on friday went really smooth. Even though Lev still can't punch the balls Kenma setts him. But the rest of the team really did their best today. "Yall did great today. I'm certain we won’t have much trouble playing again the other teams this weekend. But don't let that go to your heads. We could maybe copie some of their tecniques. I see yall tomorrow at point 8 at the train station. Whoever is late has to do 50 push-ups."
