Work Text:
“You’re late” was Kenma’s greeting to his boyfriend before starting their way back home. After practice they would usually just close the gym and leave, but these days, Kuroo had been busy helping out some students, so their routine had been delayed a little bit.
This time almost 20 minutes.
“I’m sorry” Kuroo said “Ren wanted to ask me something about a homework”
Kenma tried remembering the boy Kuroo was talking about.
“Is Ren the one who was at your house the other day?”
“Yeah, we had a project together”
“Oh, so Who called you yesterday before practice?”
Kuroo laughed.
“It was also Ren”
“Mm” was all Kenma said in return.
“To be honest I didn’t think it would take so long but Ren had a lot of questions” Kuroo said.
“And you answered them”
“Well, I couldn't say no…” Kuroo said, because, of course, it was Kuroo, he was always willing to help others.
Kenma didn’t reply, he just took his psp and kept on playing something. He wasn’t really angry, he didn’t care about having to wait, but he wasn’t happy either, maybe just… annoyed?
They stayed in silence for a moment, the only sound coming out was from Kenma’s game, at least until they passed a store.
“Do you want to stop for an ice cream?” Kuroo asked.
Kenma shaked his head without lifting his gaze.
“It’s almost dinner time”
A quiet “Oh” was Kuroo’s response. He tried to stay quiet while they walked but Kenma could almost hear him think. It didn’t take long before Kuroo broke the silence again.
“Are you upset?”
“No”
“Is it because I was late?”
“I don't care if you're late doing something important” Kenma said, pausing his game since he knew Kuroo would keep on asking.
“So?”
“What?”
“I was doing something important” Kuroo replied “Ren asked me to help him with his homework”
“And Ren is important?” Kenma asked before even thinking about asking.
Kuroo kept quiet for a moment, staring at Kenma, who tried his best to look away and keep on walking, he felt his cheeks going red because of how he phrased the question and how it naturally left his lips.
And well, maybe he was a little (just a little) angry.
“Ken…” Kuroo finally said, a delighted tone in his voice “Are you jealous?”
“No”
Not even Kenma himself believed his words.
Kuroo laughed, loud and clear.
“Aww you are jealous!”
“No i’m not, I was just asking”
“Yes you are!” Kuroo said “You even had your bad mood face”
“I didn’t”
“You did”
“I didn’t”
“You did”
“I did not!” Kenma said. Oh he was so embarrassed and Kuroo would never forget this conversation.
The taller boy kept on laughing and Kenma tried his best to ignore him, he was about to continue his game when Kuroo talked again.
“Kenma”
“Kuro”
“You know I only have eyes for you, right?”
“I know” Kenma replied. Because he did know, Kuroo was pretty obvious. “That’s why I’m not jealous”
Kuroo smiled, taking his psp away to intertwine their hands.
“I never thought you’d be the jealous kind”
“Because I’m not”
“It’s cute”
“Shut up”
Kuroo raised their hands to softly deposit a kiss in Kenma’s.
“Ren struggles a lot with school” Kuroo explained “If he asks me to help him and I can help him, I do”
“You don’t owe me any explanations” Kenma said, feeling remorse.
Kuroo shrugged.
“It’s fine, I’ll tell him that if he has a question he should come for me before practice. Because after it it’s my quality time with my boyfriend”
“You don’t have to add the end bit”
“Is the important bit”
“Save it”
“Or should I tell him that I can’t help him anymore because I have a possessive jealous boyfriend that doesn't let me be close to anyone else?” Kuroo said jokingly.
“Kuro”
“Yes?”
“Shut up”
“Possessive, jealous, rude…” Kuroo said while they arrived at the Kozume’s entrance “What awaits me in the future?”
Kenma rolled his eyes and pulled Kuroo down (and stepped on his tippy toes) to kiss his dork of a boyfriend.
Kuroo placed a strand of his hair behind his ears and Kenma gave him a smile.
“You’re a good person”
“I know”
“I don’t care if you help your friend after practice, just let me know”
Kuroo nodded.
“Can you give me a hug?”
“Why?” Kenma asked, raising his eyebrows but secretly moved by Kuroo’s sweet actions.
“Please”
Kenma laughed but eventually gave in. How could he deny his boyfriend?
Kuroo wrapped him in his comfortable arms and kissed both of his cheeks.
“I love having a jealous boyfriend”
“I am not jealous”
“Yes you are”
“I am not”
“Yes you are”
“I am not”
