Work Text:
Kuroo always gave Kemma a kiss before he left for work. It was a nice routine he decided to put in place on his own and Kenma never said anything against it so Kuroo just kept on doing it to his heart's content.
However, one day Kuroo was running very late for an important meeting, he stayed up last night for the same reason, and in the midst of getting dressed, eating a quick breakfast, putting his things in his backpack and other things, he forgot about one of the most important tasks for the start of a good day…Kenma's daily kiss.
He didn't know at that time the issues he'd be causing.
Kenma sat down on his streaming chair. He had a frown on his face, the same one he had been wearing throughout the whole day until now. He felt annoyed at everything and what was worse was that he didn't even know why!
“Ugh…”, Kenma rolled his eyes. He had a scheduled stream in 5 minutes. He really, really didn't want to do it, but he felt like he had to for his viewers.
Very reluctantly and against his better judgment, he decided to do it afterall.
Bad idea.
“What the fuck…ugh", it was the 7th time in a row that the ‘You Lost’ screen mocked him.
Some viewers tried to cheer him up, but others commented amongst themselves about how Kodzuken seemed to be in a very bad mood. Those comments didn't go unnoticed by Kenma.
“I'm not in a bad mood, I don't know what you guys are talking about", his frown deepened and he made a little ‘tsk' sound in annoyance.
Knock, knock.
Kenma turned his head back to check the door. It was Kuroo who was at the slightly ajar door, gesturing for the streamer to come to him.
Kenma sighed, frustrated. He'd usually be happy to see Kuroo, but he just wasn't in the mood at the moment at all.
He turned back to face the stream camera and talked to his viewers, “One moment guys, I'll be back in a bit", he left his headset on the desk and got up to walk over to where Kuroo was waiting.
“What is it, Kuro? I'm busy rig-", Kenma couldn't finish his sentence because Kuroo caught him by surprise, placing a kiss on his forehead.
After a little while Kuroo backed up, “I bought apple pie on the way home. Let's eat it once you're done, yeah?”, he smiled gently.
Kenma was wide eyed and speechless.
He wasn't surprised at Kuroo buying apple pie or at the kiss per se, but rather at feeling all of that annoyance and sour mood leaving him almost instantly after Kuroo kissed him.
Kenma's brain was still processing everything although as the wheels turned in his head, he quickly tried to shut it down. He couldn't possibly be having such a revelation right now, it was too embarrassing!
Who knew he was this…needy. Not him, that's for sure. He could feel his cheeks growing hotter, he was probably blushing all the way to his ears.
“I'll end it now", Kenma muttered and didn't even wait for Kuroo to say anything back. He just walked towards his desk, gave a quick goodbye and apology for ending sooner than expected and turned everything off.
His viewers would probably be extremely confused. Oh well, they would just have to wait for an explanation later.
“Let's go”, Kenma grabbed Kuroo's hand, “Good thing you bought that apple pie because you own me", he pulled the taller man towards the living room.
“Uh? What did I do?”, Kuroo was very confused, but let himself be dragged away.
Kenma didn't reply, he was way too ashamed.
When did he get so used to Kuroo's affection that even one day without a simple kiss could completely ruin it all?
Maybe Kuroo had catered to his every want and need for so long that it was already ingrained within him at this point, and it all happened without him noticing, so naturally.
From that day on, Kenma made sure Kuroo never left for work without giving him a kiss and even pulled him in for more if he felt like being a little spoiled.
Not to worry, Kuroo was happy to pamper Kenma as much as he wanted him to. If one kiss wasn't enough then 2, 3, 5, 10 or as many as his boyfriend wanted.
Kuroo's love for Kenma didn't have a cap and the eyes that looked back at him full of fondness were the best reward in the world.
