kuroo tetsurou is infuriating to work with as a fellow class representative.
it's not that he's dilly-dallying with his duties, per say. it's far from that. this charming, athletic classmate of yours took you by surprise by how efficient and responsible he actually turned out to be; always there to help, whenever and wherever you may need him be.
a few boxes need to lugged to the faculty? he's flexing his biceps and hauling them up before you could say anything. having an athlete as a class rep has its benefits, you suppose.
"oh, i got this. you can sit back, pretty."
some plans for the upcoming festival need to be drafted? he's there by your side, playing ping ping via suggestions and ideas like it's second nature. conversation with him comes surprisingly easy.
"we work well together, don't you think?"
ever encountered a grand miscalculation regarding class funds? he somehow finds the error within minutes, telling you which part of the table you did wrong. you tell him he'd make a good slave for capitalism and he laughs it off.
"what can i say? charming men like me dominate the economy."
it's kind of scary how capable he is — almost like he's eager to help you out, but it's fortunate that all your seething over his election was for naught.
though you still aren't quite sure what to feel about it.
"we should totally go out. like, right now."
if you hadn't realize it by the few dialogues the op had laid out before you, then yeah — he's way too damn coy!
"no," your handwriting falters, and you're grateful he doesn't notice it. if he did, he's awfully quiet about it. "i'm busy."
your first name then slips from his lips with that honeyed tone you always find excruciating, and you automatically flinch.
"don't act cute." you know what i mean, is what his lidded eyes say, and you narrow your own at him before averting your gaze completely — just like how you blatantly avoided the double meaning of his words.
you purposefully ignore the rising heat in the room. or maybe it was just you, since kuroo looked as calm and dashing as ev — yeah, no. it was definitely the lack of ventilation in this stupid room. who the hell does he think he's calling cute anyway? you're losing braincells each minute you spend with this guy, you swear.
"last time i checked, we weren't on a first-name basis, kuroo."
he yelps when you pinch a patch of skin along his upper arm, making him pout at you like a child.
"now, now, don’t get too worked up! i was just playing around a little."
"take it somewhere that's not around me then," you huff, giving him a sidelong look. "you're distracting me."
"you know well i take that as a compliment. your words, not mine." wow, does he have selective hearing now? this asshole!
you heave a deep sigh, completely done with it all.
kuroo is one annoying hell of a guy. you should've known better that he wouldn't back down that easily.
you two aren't going to get any work done at this rate. why were you talking back to him, again? you always knew he did it to get under your nerves. you should know better than to respond.
warily, you glance at the boy beside you who's lazily doing his own work. the lack of his usual diligence is surprising. he was quite lively just a second ago.
was it because you told him to knock it off? were you too harsh?
you're not sure what's running through kuroo's mind, frankly enough. why he acts like the way he does, why he talks to you the way he does... but one thing you're sure of is that he doesn't do anything without a reason.
and if that reason is what you suspect it is...
heat rises up the back of your neck as you glare at your own share of work. this guy is seriously a dumbass.
and you're guilty as one too, it seems.
"if we finish up early, i'll let you drag me around the rest of the day," you tap the back your pen into his side, "just today."
your mind drums with a gazillion thoughts as you watch him considerably brighten up at your words.
"that's good enough!" and he starts working like a madman.
you're glad he's out of his bleary mood. but...
you blink in surprise as he snatches your own paperworks, sliding them underneath his own, throwing you a sleazy wink.
what did you just get yourself into?
"hey — ! that's my work, you idiot!"
kuroo doesn't look up from his desk, "nuh-uh, can't let my girlfriend do such tedious work on my watch."
"who the hell are you calling your girlfriend?!" you ask, utterly horrified. kuroo turns to look at you dumbly.
"eh? but aren't we technically going out on a date later? cause y'know... i asked and you agreed...? that's enough merit for you to be called my girl, no?"
"kuroo tetsurou! i will plummet you if you don't take back your words at this instant!"
you lied. you knew exactly what you were getting yourself into.
