— a kenma x reader fic I wrote ages ago and just finished today. Oh, I haven't proofread this yet so sorry for any typos and grammar mistakes ehe.
A smell of amber filled the whole corners of the room as Kenma stepped out from the bathroom, a towel hanging low on his waist while drying his dark hair which has blonde ends. The soft material of the mat below his feet sends small tingles on his spine, but he chose to shrug it off and walked towards the cold floor of his room, reaching to grab the handle of his closet, pulling it open. His eyes were greeted by the dull colors of his shirts and clothes, all of them placed lazily on the hangers as he reached for the one black hoodie he had. If you were to see this mess, you would've been giving him an earful of rants already. A chuckle escaped his lips at the thought of you, ranting angrily at him while you fixed the mess inside his closet.

"Kenma, I told you to put your clothes neatly inside the closet! How many times do I have to tell you that?!" You grumbled, hands busy folding his shorts and shirts as you glared at his back. Kenma just sighed and raised a hand to you, a sign of acknowledgement to your words.
"Yes, ma'am." However, the obedient words contradicted his tone of boredom, which only made your anger shoot up. A hoodie was sent flying towards his direction, hitting his back. Because of this, Kenma was startled and lost focus. A monotone voice came out of the speakers speaking the words 'Game Over'. Kenma wants to be mad. He really wants to. But the laughter that echoed on four corners of his room made him unable to do so, a small smile forming on his lips instead.

The soft fabric of the hoodie was all Kenma felt as he stared at the garment, the feeling of nostalgia engulfing his thoughts.
Ah, this was the hoodie she threw at me that time. He thought, eyes still fixed on the garment in front of him. I wonder if she'll throw this again to me when she sees my closet.
Pulling the hoodie down his head, his body felt warm when the cloth enveloped his form. As soon as he finished putting on his clothes, he walked towards the other end of his room, where his computer lies. However, a certain picture caught his attention, his hands unconsciously grabbing for the picture frame as the memories came rushing inside his head. You, arms wrapped around his trousers as you smiled cheerfully, while him, a small forced smile plastered on his bored face under the sunlight.
"Kenma, let's take a picture!"
He remembered how you called him out from the shore of the beach, motioning to him to come beside you under the blazing sun.
"Y/N, it's so hot there. Aren't you feeling itchy from the heat of the sunlight?"
He remembered how you pouted at his remark, your hands landing on your hips as you stared at him with pursed lips. Seeing the look on your face, Kenma sighed and started walking towards you, his skin slowly burning from the heat.
In the end, you two ended up with a sunburn from too much contact under the sun. But even so, your smiling face was worth the pain when you beamed at him, showing the picture Kuroo took for the both of you. His fingers brushed over the glass that protects the precious piece of paper for him, his face slowly softening at the memories you both shared.
He sat on the corner of his bed, still holding the picture frame in his hands. He should be sitting on his gaming chair right now, waiting for his favorite game to load while streaming on Twitch. But instead of doing so, his hands reached for the small device that's placed on his bedside table, along with a bouquet of purple Hydrangea, your favorite. As he unlocked his phone, a picture of you can be seen as his wallpaper, where you're munching on a big burger with a big smile on your face. It was not a nice picture, not the kind of wallpaper one would choose for their loved ones. But he still chose this because for him, no matter what you do or look, you are always beautiful in his eyes.
Oh, does that mean you love her?
Kenma blushed at the little voice in his head, surprised at the accusation it had. Now that he thought of it, is he really in love with you, his best friend? Does he really like you more than a fellow who understands him the most? What if he-
He shook his head rapidly, chasing the thoughts away from his head. There's no way he's in love with you. He doesn't want to put your friendship in that situation. No, he can't do that. Especially now. There's no way you're thinking about being in a relationship right now.
Groaning, he clicked on his contacts and called you, putting his phone against his ear to hear you better. After a few moments, you picked up at last. But his brows furrowed when instead of your usual cheerful voice, his ears were met by a cough on the other end.
"Y/N, are you okay?" The coughing lasted for about 15 seconds more before your voice rang from the other end of the line.
"H-hello, Kenma-kun." Your voice was raspy, too far from the sweet tone he always heard whenever you spoke to him. It was as if you were in pain, like you're going through sickness-
Ah, yes. He just remembered now. You are sick.
"Y/N, are you okay?" He asked once again, worry etched in his tone as the grip on his phone tightened.
"Mhm," Y/N hums,"I'm fine, Kenma. Thanks for worrying about me." You answered in a low voice. It was obvious that you were clearly not doing ok. Kenma knows that. But despite the worry growing inside him and the itchiness in his throat, he decided to not ask anyway, because he knows that it would only make you feel uncomfortable.
"It's nothing." He replies. "Of course I'll be worried, you're my best friend, after all."
Best friend, huh?
You chuckled at his response, which made his eyebrows twitch and his heart flutter. Your laugh was still lovely as he remembers.
"Aww, is my Kenma getting all mushy now?"
"Whatever."
He was glad that you were not talking face to face right now. Because if you were, he most definitely can't hide the red tinge on his cheeks.
"By the way, I'm heading there right now. You want me to bring you something?"
"Nope, I'm good."
Holding his phone between his shoulders and ears, Kenma grabbed his car keys as well as the bouquet of flowers on his table.
"You sure?"
"Yup."
"Ok, then I'll be going then. See you later when I get there. Bye."
As he was about to hang up, you suddenly called out his name which made him stop. "Ah, Kenma. Wait."
"Yeah?" He asks, not knowing the reason why you suddenly called out to him.
There was a long pause from the other end to the point where Kenma had to call out your name to check if you're still in the line.
"You know…," You spoke, voice in a much softer tone than what he heard a few moments ago. "Thank you, I mean it. I'm so glad that you're my best friend."
And with that, the call ended, leaving a flustered Kenma behind. His phone almost fell from his shoulders which made Kenma come back to reality. Gazing at the bouquet in his hands, he smelled the flowers before staring lovingly at them, as if looking straight into your eyes.
"Thank you too. For coming into my life." He softly murmured with closed eyes before he opened the door of his room and of his house to come to you.

Pass the happy! When you receive this, list 5 things that make you happy, and send it to the ten most recent people in your notifications! ♥
Hey... sorry this is so late. thank you for this. im not gonna lie, i dont have many people in my notifications, but ill see who i can manage to find to send this to ^^
1 : my girlfriend.
this one is pretty straightforward. she’s been my rock for a long, long ass time and im infinitely grateful to her. out of everything & everyone in my life, she’s the one thing that’s changed me the most (& for the better). i love her to the moon and back and bein around her gives me so much serotonin <3
2. hmm.... well, my dog.
this is also very straightforward. whenever my girlfriend’s not been able to be there for me, ginny has comforted me. she loves cuddling and giving little kisses and she doesn’t know it but she’s a great listener lol. i couldn’t be luckier to have such a sweet lil pooch in my life <3
3. game grumps.
maybe this is the first one that might be a lil surprising. especially since its so high up on the list. ive watched so many game grumps compilations when crying my eyes out and they always make me laugh, somehow, and give me hope again. it’s gotten to the point where i’ve gone to their videos for comfort so often that when i hear arin or dan’s voices it almost flips a switch in my brain that gets me to immediately calm down, at least a bit.
4. video games!
i couldnt put just one here... video games have helped me through SOOOO many rough spots. overwatch helped me with my anxiety SOMEHOW, i dont know since thats a rEALLY stressful game, but playing it gave me so much anxiety but i still forced myself to play it to a point where a discovered a way to cope: talking my way through it. if i just narrated myself through a game i would be so much calmer than if i didnt, which is a weird way of coping, but it works for me! assassins creed: syndicate helped me cope with loneliness at a time in my life where i felt unloved and unseen, lonely. jacob & evie were my constant companions and often times i’d just walk around as them and cry and talk to them until i felt better. it definitely is a bit odd saying that because i feel crazy talking to characters on a screen, but i wouldve been worse off if i hadnt. and then legend of zelda: twilight princess and animal crossing: new horizons both hold special places in my heart! ill keep these short since this is already long-winded: twilight princess is extremely special to me because some of my earliest memories are of watching my brother playing it. animal crossing: new horizons is just so, so calming and helps me so much with my anxiety... something about the atmosphere of the game is just so nice and mollifying
5. my family.
ending this off with a short & sweet one. though my family do have their flaws (namely, that they would be unaccepting of my sexuality & relationship), they’re still amazing to me. they are all nice, and funny and caring and i don’t know where i’d be if i had a different one.
sorry that was so long ...i know it said just to list them, but i just needed to spill my guts out abt things i love because im kinda stressed right now ansjkdan so !! thank you so much for this opportunity <3
