✖┅ Kuroo, contrary to POPULAR belief, has off days. Days where he felt SICK to his stomach and it HURT to breathe, like his throat was on FIRE and it was FRUITLESS to claw at the air caught in his lungs, head POUNDING with a migraine and joints just aching. Of course, he didn’t DARE let anyone know, because he could TOUGH it out, pretend that he was just FINE ( fine had many definitions, after all ) and LAUGH his way through the day so that no one would FUSS.
He’d barely SCRAPED by one such day, opting to curl up in his bed and WALLOW in his own self pity the minute he got home rather than start STUDYING. Curling in on himself into a ball while TUGGING up his blanket to fight off the winter chill, a quiet WHIMPER slipped through his lips. Oh, how he LOATHED feeling so utterly disgusting.
