After giving itsome thought and going by Daichi’s hints, he decided on something simple andelegant for their first date. Of course, this was more of an excuse to hang outthan anything because they had been together plenty of times before. After theydiscovered they were going to the same university they made plans to meet inTokyo, to hang out, talk about volleyball, their teammates, and ended up closingdown this random café that then became their favorite hangout spot and wherethey would usually go to meet up.
Eventually, theyfound themselves growing more and more interested in each other but it was thefirst year of university which meant getting accustomed to a new place, bothfor Koushi, coming from somewhere outside of Tokyo and to Kuroo, since he movedout of his parents’ house and into a joint apartment with best bro, Bokuto. Notonly that, but the work load changed dramatically and they were busy gettingfamiliar with a new school and making new acquaintances and maybe even a friendor two who could slip you their notes when you got sick and who would havelunch with you in between classes.
Because of this,they were too occupied to act on their interest and when they wanted to let offsome steam they didn’t do it with each other because… there was somethingthere, and neither of them wanted to ruin it by jumping each other’s bones toosoon.
They were now intheir second year and when Koushi came back to the city and they met up again,there was an unspoken tension between them. Until Kuroo broke it by saying whatthey were both thinking.
“I missed you,man.” He had said, with one of his goofy smiles sprawled on his face.
Sugawara managedto raise an inquisitive eyebrow, maybe to try and play it off but he couldn’t.Instead he laughed, shook his head and admitted out loud. “Yeah, I missed youtoo.”
After thisfaithful episode, Kuroo went into a freak out that lasted about a week anddrove Bokuto up the wall with questions.
…Should I ask him out? He said he missed me, what doyou think that means? Do you think he likes me? I mean I like him. Like hangingout with him, talking to him, studying around him, he’s quiet when he focusesbut then he’s also such a sarcastic douche, he makes such great jokes, Bo,honestly, and have you seen his hair in the sun? it’s like… it shines, okay,like diamonds. But honestly what if I ask him out and he says no, what if I ruinthis thing we got going on?…
He tried it withKenma but he just shut him down with a quick: “Ask him out already. Have balls.”To which Kuroo replied, in a chocked and broken voice. “Language.”
After all of this,he met up with Koushi. They usually studied together once or twice a week, itwas a nice routine. Beforehand Kuroo had psyched himself up, drank a redbull, high-fivedthe guy who sold him his coffee and arrived at Koushi’s with a Caramel Macchiatofor the setter and a Double Expresso for him. They sat down on the mat in theliving room and as Kuroo took out his laptop, books, notebook and writingmaterial, placing it on the table between them, Koushi sipped his warm drink,closing his eyes in enjoyment ever so slightly. And Kuroo looked at that, andthought to himself that maybe this wasn’t as terrifying after all and somehowthe words just came out, flowing, just as if he was asking “How was your day?”But he wasn’t. He was asking: “Will you go out with me?”
Koushi smiled intothe lid of his drink and his shiny eyes looked up. He got up from his seatwhere he was cross-legged and walked around to the other side of the table. Kuroonoticed he was wearing a big pink jumper with a yellow kitten on it, it wascute, it suited him, he thought. Koushi crouched next to him and kissed him onthe cheek. “I thought you’d never ask.” He said, with a honeyed lull to hisvoice and quite the charming smile.
He went back tohis place, seated the same way and went back to what he was doing. A few beatsafter, he added, in a challenging and teasing tone. “Hope you take me somewherenice.”
And Kuroo wentinto a mild panic while thinking Game on.
Now, back to thedate. The plan was simple:
Step 1: Pick him up at his place. Take him out to a nicerestaurant. Chinese. That’s his favorite. But close to his house so you canwalk there and hold hands and talk a bit on your way there.
Step 2: Don’t be a coward and actually hold his hand. You better not fail me, Future Kuroo, wegot a lot riding on this.
Step 3: Amusement park. You can eat candy there, cottoncandy, popcorn, lollipop, all kinds of unhealthy things. Win him something,impress him with your gaming skills. Show him you’re a clear winner andtherefore deserve his affections.
Step 4: Walk him home.
Kuroo looked downat the paper with his messy handwriting on it and took a deep breath.
“Okay, alright,sounds like a good plan.”
He picked out hisoutfit for the next day and went to bed, trying his best to rest even thoughhis excitement made his blood boil.
The doorbell ranga few minutes before eleven and Koushi came to answer the door. He was met witha dashing smile and the same bed head hair of always.
“What a nice view,uh” He commented, taking in Kuroo’s towering figure, the way his hands werehidden in his pockets, relaxed demeanor.
“It sure is.”Kuroo fired back, making sure his eyes took in all of Koushi, intent on gettinghis point across.
“Come in. I’m justfinishing up with my hair and then we can go.”
“Your hair? What’reyou gonna do with it?” Kuroo asked, following Koushi down the hallway to thebathroom.
“I thought aboutputting it up.” The other answered, while grabbing a hair tie, gathering hissilver hair and looking in the mirror. “What do you think? Like this?” Heinquired, looking up at Kuroo, who in return hummed and chewed on his bottomlip.
“Can I…” Kuroostarted, making a forward gesture with his hand.
“Sure.” Koushiaffirmed, letting his hair come down again. It already hit his shoulders and itmade subtle waves.
Kuroo placedhimself behind Koushi and then reached for a brush. Carefully, he brushedKoushi’s hair back while the other watched closely. Then he gathered it up in aneat ponytail, reaching out for the tie in Koushi’s hand. He tied it up withoutany hair moving out of place and Kou was impressed.
“And now for thefinishing touch…” Kuroo announced before dislodging two bits of hair from thesides, and making these little waves come down the side of Koushi’s face. Helooked stunning.
They looked ateach other in the mirror before Koushi turned around to face Kuroo.
“You know, this isa really good start to a date.”
Kuroo smiled downat him. “Is it?”
Koushi hummed inconfirmation. “Come down here.”
Kuroo croucheduntil his eyes were level with Kou’s.
“Not like that.”Koushi laughed and shook his head. He sighed. “But it’s okay.” And then placeda soft kiss on Kuroo’s lips. They both smiled, their cheeks tinted with analmost unnoticeable pink.
“Come on.” Koushigrabbed Kuroo’s hand, turned off the bathroom lights and led them to the door.Before heading out he grabbed a colorful denim jacket, full of patches. Most ofthem were from Oikawa, therefore they were mostly space themed. There were afew cat themed ones in there, as well.
On their way tothe restaurant Koushi was busy explaining Kuroo where the patches came from andtime flowed quickly.
They got to therestaurant and it was a cozy little thing on a secondary street.
“Oh, you didn’ttell me this is where we were coming!”
“Was I supposedto?”
“No, but nicechoice. Kudos to you.”
“So you’ve beenhere before.”
“Yes, it’s closeto home and they serve my favorite food…” Koushi trailed off and then looked atKuroo as they were about to sit down. “Which is why you brought me here.”
Kuroo nodded. “Ididn’t know you knew it but yeah, I wanted you to have a good time.”
They were sittingnext to each other and Koushi, for the second time that day, leaned in closeand placed a kiss on Kuroo, this time on the corner of his mouth, discretly.
“Can’t believe youthought you needed Daichi’s help. You’re doing great all on your own. Andreally upping the scale for me.”
“Oh yeah? Nextdate we focus on me then?” Kuroo asked playfully.
“If you’re lucky.”
Then they orderedtheir food and talked about the usual things. Tooru made me watch this movie,this and Bokuto scored someone’s number on the train, that. The usual.
When they left therestaurant their bellies were full and they rejoiced in the cozy spring sun andbreeze. They made their way to the metro down the street because the amusementpark was on the other side of town. And as they walked, unthinkingly, Koushilaced his fingers with Kuroo’s and Kuroo just looked down at their hands, notexactly surprised, but most definitely happy about whatever this was that was beginningto bloom.
The rest of theafternoon was a smooth ride. Koushi stuffed his mouth with sweet after sweet,even though he had just has lunch an hour ago while Kuroo watched amusedly andtook bites out of the candy. They went on a few rides, the fast ones but notthe upside-down ones. They played games, Koushi won them a shark and a tinymouse. Kuroo played some kind of hammer game, the measure your strength kind ofgame, and won them a stuffed Thor toy. Long haired Thor, though.
“He kinda lookslike you.”
“If I was blondand had a beard, you mean.”
“Yes, but I likeyour silver hair. You’re like a walking cloud.”
“You’re like awalking mess.”
“Well, you’re notwrong.”
“Wanna be my mess?”
“Koushi, so forward.” Kuroo joked, making ahigh-pitched voice and hugging his stuffed Thor tightly, presumably trying to imitatea school girl. Koushi laughed, thank god for that, because what. a . smile. Kuroo mused.
After a beat. “Areyou serious though?”
They were leavingthe amusement park and heading home. There was still daylight but the sun was agoner, and Koushi had to admit, so was he.
“Well, you are theone guy I want to spend my time with, you know, the time I have left betweenclasses and my other friends and those 5 hours of sleep.”
“You are the oneguy for me too.”
Koushi stopped andmoved to face Kuroo. Kuroo was blocking the sun, casting a shadow down on Kou.The background was nothing but sunlight and Kuroo looked beautiful that way.
“I am?”
Kuroo nodded. “Youare.”
“I guess we bettermake it official then.”
“We better.” Kuroowhispered, as he placed a big hand on Koushi’s cheek and leaned in to kiss him,glad he had the guts to ask him out after all.
