( a/n : i accidentally deleted the request like the pea brain i am so I'm tagging you instead @ellbett <3 let me know if you liked it!)
content : fluff, too much fluff with a very happy ending warning : not proofread, swear words.
Kuroo Tetsuro is an unquestionably busy man. He loves his job, he swears he does, and he knows it comes with a price. The price being that Kuroo has probably never had an actual relationship with anyone. But he doesn't seem to mind this. He's happy the way things are. He wakes up, goes to do what he does, occasionally meets up with his best friends, sometimes goes out with his colleagues, comes back to his house, sleeps.
It's not like he's opposed to a relationship. Even he sometimes feels the need to have someone he could come home to. But he let's the thought slide and doesn't let it get to him.
However currently at hand, Kuroo has the toughest challenge he's ever faced.
"Tetsuro, you have to be here on Sunday, I'm not taking a 'no' for an answer, Infact its not a request. Don't disappoint me."
It's not the dinner he's scared of. It's what will come along with it.
Kuroo's mother is stubborn, and all she wants is her twenty seven year old son to settle down with someone and start a family, which is something he doesn't want right now. So he says the worst possible excuse he could think of, "Mom I can't, I know the girl is amazing and comes from a really good family but I already have a girlfriend"
"Oh", he let's out a silent sigh of relief when he feels assured that he won't be bothered anymore but he suddenly chokes over his own spit when she continues, "then why don't you bring her with you? I want to meet her as well."
And this is how Kuroo currently finds himself on the way to your cabin.
"Y/n, meet me in my office when you're done with your work"
Your usually cheerful boss is currently scowling and you can't help but think of a hundred reason for its cause.
"Maybe it's because of something I did?", is the worst possible thing you could think of as you finish up your work and knock on the door of his office.
Kuroo looks up from what he was doing and asks you to shut the door behind you and sit on the couch in the side of his office. You sit and patiently wait for him to say something but are a bit surprised when he gets up from his place and sits on couch beside you, with some space in between on order to not invade your personal space.
He looks at you and opens his mouth to say something but then decides not to and turns the other way.
"Sir, is something wrong?", you ask as you lift your hand to place on his in reassurance.
Upon the contact he looks at you and says, "Y/n, I want you to be my girlfriend."
"When was the last time I went for my complete body check-up? An year ago? Maybe I need to go again and get my ears checked this time", is what's going on in your mind when you say, "Sorry, what?"
"Be my girlfriend, y/n", you are about to scream, run around his office and pinch yourself in disbelief because yes you will, who would say no to him? especially when you have a crush on him since day one, when he continues, "just for a day. I-It's because of..." and he explains the whole thing when you exhale the breath you were holding for long.
"Why me?", is all you can ask the man looking at you expectantly.
"Well, I don't do favorites but you're definitely my favorite subordinate," he laughs "also because y/n, you're reliable and I know you'd help me out, won't you?"
His face lights up and he adds with a playful wink, "Darling, I believe it's Tetsuro to you now".
Sunday for you is a day you usually spend doing absolutely nothing but today you find yourself in front of your closet deciding on what to wear. "Wear anything that makes you feel comfortable, you look good in anything anyway", is what Kuroo said when you asked and you couldn't help but smile at his words.
"It's not something that'll happen again", is what you think and decide to put in your best in the way you look. Upon receiving a text from Kuroo, you look at yourself one last time, fixing imaginary creases from your dress and make you way down to his car.
You see him standing in front of the door, waiting for you while texting on his phone. On hearing the sound of your steps he looks up and his eyes go wide for a second and he coughs and gains his composure. "It's just for a day Tetsuro",he mentally scolds himself but he couldn't help and say, "You look beautiful, Y/n".
The compliment makes you blush but gives you some much needed confidence as you say, "Thank you, Tetsuro" which makes Kuroo feel like he's on fire.
The car ride to his mother's place was peaceful, with both of you chatting casually over the soft music from the radio.
You both tried to converse like people in a relationship would do and it was going pretty smoothly, and you were thrilled to get to know about kuroo, a side that no one in the workplace knows about.
Upon reaching his mother's place, you got out of the car and as both of you started walking to the door he called out, "Y/n, wait!" you were about to turn to him when he held your hand in his and brought your connected hands to your eye level, "this would makes us look more couple-y, wouldn't it?", he says and you laugh, silently thanking the setting sun which hides your growing blush.
Meeting his mother went better than you thought. Kuroo didn't let you go out of his sight with occasionally setting his hand around your waist which never failed to catch you off guard. He did most of the talking, telling his mother stories about how you met and all the trivial stuff and overall your acts were convincing. Convincing enough that's Kuroo was assured that his mother would not be bothering him for a while anymore.
His plan was to go back to his normal life, and in a few months, tell his mother about your "break up".
"So darling, what do you like about him anyway?", his mother asked you playfully. Kuroo thought that this is where things would probably go wrong because 'y/n is just my subordinate, what would she be possibly liking about her boss?' is what he thought.
"Tetsu is an amazing person," he is thankful for sitting on the other side of the table because of you were beside him, you'd be able to hear just how fast his heart started to beat at the nickname that rolled from your tongue, "he no doubt has the looks that would make anyone fall in love with him but his actions and thoughts are what makes him different from others. He has the smile that can make you feel better and you always feel comfortable and safe around him. I love him for being so passionate and hardworking towards his work. I just love him for being himself at all times "
Sitting in the car on the way back to your house, you can't help but feel sad. Sad that probably the best day you've had in a while is finally coming to an end.
The ride back home starts pretty well, with both of you in comfortable silence before you felt like something needs to be said.
"I hope everything went according to what you had planned and that we were able to convince your mother, sir"
Everything went flawlessly, or that's what you thought. But for Kuroo, it's nothing like what he had in mind. He did not want things to end up this way. With him developing a big fat crush on you like a stupid teenaged boy. "Dude, all she did was do her job to sound convincing enough" is what he's been telling himself.
"No y/n, it did not go according to the plan"
His words hit you like a truck and you start freaking out internally. He stops the car at the side of the road, "Also, what happened to 'Tetsu'?" he says staring at the road in front of him.
"O-oh shit, I'm so sorry about that, I didn't know you would not like that. That was way out of liâ"
"Y/n, I'm the problem here because I liked hearing you say that", he breathes out, cutting you. "I know it was an act but, fuck, what you said, it made me feel things I haven't felt before. And I know that I'm the one being out of line but Iâ
I'm sorry if I'm making you feel uncomfortable, please pretend I never said that. I don't want things to get awkward between us. "
He waits for you to say something or get mad at him but you're just staring at your clutched hands in your lap. Exhaling heavily, he proceeds to turn on the car but you finally speak up.
"It was true. Everything thing I said. It came from my heart. Each and every word. Loved you since the day I saw Kuroo"
You still had your eyes cast down and you now had a few stray tears falling when you felt a hand thread through the hair at the back of your head. Kuroo's hand made you face him and he said, "You are the prettiest woman I've laid my eyes on, and I'm so fucking stupid for not realising that before". He brought his other hand to your face and cupped your face, wiping the tears away.
You both were awfully close to each other. So close that you could feel his breath on your face.
"Kiss me, Kuroo", you whispered. And he gladly obliged. It was short and quick, almost like a peck. You were confused but before you could think it through he said against your lips, "Call me what you called me earlier".
He pecked the corner of your mouth as you blushed, "Yes. Say that and I'll give you all the kisses you want"
He kissed you so good that you almost forgot to breathe. He made you feel light headed with thousands of butterflies storming your stomach. You thought its only you, being to reactive to him but then he removed one of his hands from your cheek and grabbed the back of your hand and placed it on his chest, above his heart â his heart which was beating wildly.
"You feel that? Feel what your doing to me, kitten?", and you couldn't help but pull him in for another kiss which rendered both of you breathless.
"How would you feel about me asking you out on a real date?", he asked staring in your eyes.
He starts the car again and takes his free hand and holds your hand in his, kissing the back of it and said, "I wish that next time we won't be pretending"
Kuroo Tetsuro is an unquestionably busy man who loves his job. But now he thinks he finally found the one whom he can love the most.
(a/n : i wanted to challenge myself with this prompt challenge by doing something I rarely do, which is writing fics this long, but it'd be really amazing if you see this and you show it some love. it'd really motivate me to continue making these, thank you <3 also let me know how it was)
