Hello! I was just dumped by my boyfriend and feel kind of depressed... May I request a drabble where Kuroo Tetsurou is comforting a crying girl in a similar situation?
I know it’s been a while since you sent this in, but I hope you’re feeling better now. Whoever he was, he made a big mistake letting you go.
When he turned the corner and found you curled into a small ball, your shoulders trembling and small whimpers sounding from you, he was instantly kneeling beside you, an arm draped around you protectively. From what, he didn’t know, but what he did know was that he wanted to know who had done this to you and where he could find them.
“_______, what’s wrong?!” he asks a little too loudly. You look up, eyes brimming with tears, seemingly just realizing he was there.
“Kuroo?” Why was he here? And why did he look so angry?
“Who did this to you?” he practically growls, eyes livid. He was going to find whoever made you cry, and once he does…
“N-no one,” you lie, wiping your face. “I just fell. That’s all.”
He sees through your words and stares down at you, eyes demanding that you tell the truth. His anger momentarily subsides, a feeling of childishness taking its place as he realizes that there are much more important matters to deal with first.
His gaze softens, and he pulls you closer to him. He didn’t care if it was awkward or weird, especially since you barely talked to each other - he wanted you to know he was there for you.
“What happened?” he asks quietly, his thumb rubbing your shoulder lightly. You sniff, a fresh wave of tears streaming down your cheeks as you recall what had happened moments prior to Kuroo’s arrival.
“He broke up with me,” you whisper brokenly between sobs. “He pulled that ‘it’s not you it’s me’ crap, too. What a bunch of bullshit!”
Kuroo waits for you to continue, patiently listening as you vented to him and confessed that you knew there was someone else your ex was interested in. At that information, he finds himself genuinely confused. He couldn’t fathom that someone thought there was another who was better than you. To him, you were perfect in every sense of the word.
“He’s probably regretting breaking up with you now,” Kuroo mumbles under his breath.
“What do you mean?” You ask, looking up at him.
The volleyball player shifts around, considering ducking his head to avoid your gaze and deciding against it because he needed to tell you this face-to-face. “He lost someone he shouldn’t have.”
The sincerity in his voice and the look in his eyes stop time, his words repeating in your ears long after he’s said them. The way he said it almost sounded like a confession, and it occurs to you that that was the underlying message of his words. He had intended to tell you his feelings in a much different situation, but this wasn’t so bad, either.
Without a word, he pulls his arm away from you and wipes away the stray tears lingering on your face, his touch gentle and endearing as his eyes lock with yours.
“I’m not asking for an answer,” he says quickly, the shakiness of his breath betraying the calm expression he wore, “but I just want you to know there’s someone who will cherish you properly.”
You’re left speechless by his words, and you stare at him in complete awe. He clears his throat after e moment and asks, “Will you be okay?”
You nod slowly, still affected by his sweet words, and his lips tug into a relieved smile. He murmurs a ‘good’ before rising from his spot beside you and walking away, the tips of his ears turning red as the realization of what he had just done hits him. He quickens his pace, suddenly eager to get as far away from you as possible for the moment.
You don’t notice his change in demeanor as he leaves - you don’t notice anything, really. Not after that confession. You bury your heated face into the palms of your hands, a silent squeal ghosting past your lips.
