『 I like a girl that's got a boyfriend
Can't seem to get her out of my head
And she knows it should be me in her bed
Yeah, she knows it, she knows it, she knows it 』
He couldn't stand him. How he didn't hang on to every word you said, the way he dismissed the sweet and catering actions you made and how he would roll his eyes at you when you talked about the new job promotion you received. He didn't deserve you and he knew it. Your boyfriend. Your halfwitted, imprudent, harebrained boyfriend.
God he hated him so much. Okay, maybe hated was strong, but his disliking for him was so immense that this made his mood instantaneously shift the moment he would even feel his aura within a five mile radius. Serious;y, he had it out for this guy.
But why did he care? Why did he care so much that you were with a man who was not worthy of your saccharine love. If he could he would drown himself in you. If he hadn't the duty of being a Clansman of the Silver King he would give you his heart, soul and body.
That's what he would catch himself saying about you. No, he didn't have time for such silly things. Love was not his to proritize at the very moment. In fact, it was the last thing on his list. But he couldn't get you out of his head no matter how hard he had tried.
When he would lay at night, he found himself thinking about you. In more ways then one. He imagined that you were in his bed driving you over the edge and pleasing you the way you knew that he wouldn't.
『 I think I'm in love, you're like my twin flame
You and I, we're perfectly aligned, it drives me insane
That he gets to call you mine
When he don't get your brain like I do 』
The times that he did speak to you, he felt like he was on cloud nine. Your smile, your warmth and the way you would always bring him homecooked meals when the Neko would selfishly finish his food when he wasn't looking. He felt so interwined with you and he knew that you had felt the same way. If it weren't for that incessant pest that you called your boyfriend keeping you from being in his arms.
"Hey, you're mine. You know, that right?" Your boyfriend would say interjecting the conversation Kuroh would be having with you. His slimy arms slithered around you like a snake as he kissed you. And he made sure it was always around him.
Even going as far as giving your ass a small squeeze to which you would swat your hand at him immediately getting embarrassed that he would do something so sleazy in front of Kuroh.
But Kuroh knew that it was just a game. You were a pawn. Disposable. Expendable.
Kuroh knew his real intentions,but he had no idea how to tell you without you coming right to his rescue. Explaining to him how he was a good man and a greater boyfriend. He had to mentally note not roll his eyes out of his head.
『 Yeah, it's like ecstasy
When you're next to me
Think that you should leave him
And stay with mе 』
On days when he could see you without that jerk being around, he would invite you over to cook for you while Neko and Shiro were away running errands.
"Shouldn't you be with your King?"
He would smile as he was serving you steamed rice. "He doesn't always need me around. I am my own person, you know."
A smile would tug a your lips as you would thank him for the food and begin to dig in. Something about being together unfailingly felt right. You had the same interests in culinary arts, you were both into art and art history. You were practically two halves of the same whole.
You would joke that: "We're like two peas in a pod."
To which Kuroh would grin softly to himself as a soft carmine kissed at his cheeks. He would clear his throat immediately.
"You could say that."
To which you would laugh and how your laugh was contagious. It would send him into a fit of mirth hearing your melodious giggles. He would then remember that sleazy man and his laughter would die down as he face became more serious and you would follow.
"I think you should leave him."
『 What about the things you said that he does?
And how every day with him is like some fight club
We had an instant connection when it took you two months
Yeah, we had more fun 』
And when you had told your boyfriend of Kuroh's words, that sent your boyfriend into a spiral. He was raising his voice, and throwing things like you had never seen you before. There would be a lot of times where you would get into quarrels over things Kuroh would say, but this--this was unlike something he had ever done.
It almost felt suspicious the way he was thrashing around and making you feel bad for saying a simple thing. It was times like these that you wished Kuroh was actually there. There to comfort you and not just in a friendly way. You had fun with him. Like actual fun. Even when you were Shiro and Neko, he made it a point to prioritize your happiness.
Shiro had considered them friends rather than subordinate and King, still it was a little odd to see that he was putting you first in everything. Serving you the first bowl, the first cup of tea, making sure to ask if your food was fine and how he could accomodate to your needs. Hell, he would even ask what you wanted to eat the day before and would wake up extra earlier to make it fresh.
Which is something Kuroh had been lacking on. Usually he would make Shiro and Neko's lunch the night before and store it in the fridge, but with you he went the extra step.
"Are you seriously accusing me of cheating?" Pulling you out of your stupor.
Realization hit you like a shit ton of bricks. You crossed your arms and raised a brow at him.
"I never said you did."
『 You seem lonely and it's so damn cruel
'Cause you're so back and forth like you're striking a chord
And then leading me on when you know that it's wrong
In denial, everybody sees it but you 』
It was disheartening as hell to see you all by yourself, looking over at the ocean as you hugged your knees to your chest. For days you would do this since you had finally broken up with your boyfriend and even worse that Valentine's Day was right about the corner. Kuroh could only watch you from afar, too afraid to say anything that might strike a nerve. He wanted to get closer to you not push you further away.
It felt like you were leading him on and Shiro and Neko would take notice of your relationship. Shiro would especially hate that his friend's heart was aching for another woman who was struggling with her own turmoil, but alas what could he do?
"I got just the thing. Neko, I'll need your help." Shiro would bounce his fist to his palm as the idea had struck.
She would blink at him several times before her lips erupted into a grin. "Anything for Shiro!"
And that's when the duo got to work. They had been planning on how you two would get together over the span of two months. While you had been healing from your broken heart, the pair had been schemeing from behind the scenes.
"What are you two up to?" Kuroh would narrow his eyes at them as Shiro and Neko would act inconspicuous, but he could read them like an open book.
He merely chose to ignore them and the way they would whisper to one another and then look at him and that back at one another before they started again. Kuroh would simply sigh and keep eating away at his meal until he their murmurs seemed to get louder and more obnoxious.
Clank!
Shiro and Neko's eyes broadened at Kuroh who had slammed his bowl on the coffee table before getting up and grabbing his jacket.
"W-where are you going Kuroh-kun?" Shiro would ask as he followed behind him.
"Out." He replied as he put on his shoes and unlocked the door finally leaving the two of them behind.
They both gave each other the same devilish grins as they rubbed their hands together to commence their Operation: Valentine's Day.
Yes not very original, but they didn't have time to exactly come up with anything fresher than that ass they were on a time limit.
Today had been Valentine's Day and while they didn't really celebrate it as much, they wanted something good to come out of it for the both of you lonely and unfortunate souls.
As Kuroh had made his way to the ocean he noticed that someone else was there and he could recognized your form from anywhere. He felt for his pocket for a moment. Did he really want to do this now? He shook his head gazing at how your hair shifted in the breeze. The water sparkled beautifully, but it paled in comparison to you. You who was ethereal in every conceivable way.
He gulped as he started making his way towards you and you felt a presence come up from behind you.
"Hi, Kuroh."
He blinked several times before answering. "How did you know it was me?"
You gazed up at him with twinkling [e/c] hues and smiled gloriously at him. Oh, how divine you were.
"I know the sound of your footsteps."
He felt the wind sweep across the both of you and suddenly the world around you changed. Literally.
Sakura blossoms began to appear out of nowhere as the petal danced around the both of you. Your eyes broadened as you took a gander of the new existence you were living in. When had all the cherry blossoms appeared? You didn't know anymore, but when you peered back at Kuroh he was already on one knee with the most beautiful rose gold ring you had possibly laid eyes on. Your face warming as your lip quivered.
"[name], I've come to learn that I have fallen deeply in love with you and I cannot bear to have you not by side any longer. Please accept this as a token of my love and admiration for you, until I can replace it with something even more permanent.
Your hands crossed against your chest as you felt your throat close up. You couldn't believe that Kuroh was hiding his feelings for you. Suddenly all the moments that you spent together, the way he grimaced at your sleazy ex boyfriend and all the sweet gestures he made towards you. It all made sense.
"I--I don't know how I could possibly say no." You finally replied.
"So that's a yes?" His cheeks were tinted vermillion as he gazed up at you, holdind you hand.
You nodded and smiled. "Yes!"
He slipped the ring onto your finger. "It's a promise ring."
You twirled it around watching how it caught in the sunlight. "It's beautiful. Where's yours?"
He held it between his fingers and gently took it from him and raised his porcelain hand as you slid it into his slim digit. he interwined your fingers together and his free hand now caressing your face. A rare smile on his visage as he peered down at you. The light filtering on to your face made you even more angelic. But before he could say a thing, the sakura blossoms disappeared and the ocean was in full view again.
"Neko!" You heard Shiro's voice, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Kuroh sighed as he turned right to the stop that those two idiots were in, spying on the both of you. "We already heard you."
You giggled as you watched Neko fall on her ass from one of the trees and Shiro soon followed helping her up as she cried.
"I'm sorry. I let it happen for a moment because it gave me a boost of confidence and it was a nice change in scenery. Perfect, really."
"Mhm. Mhm." You nodded in agreement. "Very nice scenery."
He chuckled at you before pressing his lips to yours. Your eyes broadened at his sudden contact, but he could no longer hold back. He finally kissed you after all these months that he's bottled his feelings for you. You eyes slowly closing as you heard Shiro and Neko cheered in the back and the both of you smiled mid kiss. He wanted to scold them for how irritating they were being, but he could care less knowing that you were now his.
"Shiro and Neko got Kuroh and [name] together!" Neko exclaimed as she locked arms with Shiro.
"You owe us a freshly made lunch Kuroh!" Shiro undid his umbrella as he and Neko began to float.
It was always such a spectacular sight watching Shiro defy physics.
You both waved at them before returning back to one another a smirk playing on your lips as you raised your brow at him.
"Planning to marry me, eh?"
Kuroh face flushed red as he rubbed the back of neck. "I--I mean, call it a courtship. If you will."
Your arms encased his body and pulled him flush against yours. You had never seen him so flustered before.
"Well, I accept. You're not slipping away from me." You leaned your face closer to his and captured his lips again.
He welcomed you with a warm embrace and many kisses in return. He could tell you all about the future he envisioned with you later.
