becomes somehow sociable, after high school. college for kuroo is studying, studying, calling kenma, going out with bo to grab a beer, going home, studying again. college for kenma is streaming, studying ten minutes before an exam, getting dragged parties by keiji.

it's been a while since kenma had to be helped out of a panick attack in the middle of a crowd, and kuroo wonders when kenma was allowed to become so independent? thankfully, he finds a way in to one of those parties ( thanks bokubro for the indirect invite to keiji's party )

and that's when he finds his kenma, note the possessive, /his/ kenma, giggling as some random guy murmur in his ear. it's probably not funny, kenma had too much to drink, that's what kuroo convinced himself. he takes big strides towards the boy who's supposed to only be his

best friend, grabs his hands and tugged him out and away from this dumb party. kenma barely fought back, it's actually the opposite, he's quite docile! weird... kuroo throws a look back at the blonde and kenma follows behind kuroo with a pout, mumbling to himself stuff kuroo

doesn't catch on to. ” kenma? „ he calls once, gently, nudging the blonde, ” what's up? did that bastard say something to you?! „ kuroo frowns but kenma shakes his head before he can rush back inside and teach him a lesson. ” you're always saying we're just best friends and

then you come and do /this/! „ kenma complains, whines actually, yeah he's definitely a little drunk. ” i do this? what did i do! „ kuroo actually is confused, he thought he was just saving kenma from an annoying situation ( false, kuroo is such a liar ). ” you act like my

boyfriend! and you're not! „ and there's actual tears in kenma's eyes when he looks up to glare at kuroo. oh well. kenma manages to free himself and he points a finger at kuroo, ” we're best friends, nothing more, like you said! so, i'm gonna go back in and have fun with

this guy! „ kuroo frowns at that, and without blinking, he cups kenma's face and kisses him. right there and then, in the street. it's not romantic, it's a little lame actually because kuroo's a loser but he makes it up to kenma by squishing his cheeks and staring right

into those glassy golden hues he loves. ” there, now we're boyfriends. „ kenma huffs, blushing and he still looks unsatisfied. kuroo gets his attention back by gently shaking his head, still holding his cheeks, ” don't go back in there, don't talk to anyone but me. you're

/mine/, kenma. got it? „ kenma lets out a little whine but doesn't reply. it takes kuroo to lean in closer and steal a smooch, along with a murmured, ” i don't share... „ for kenma to finally nod. they're both idiots in love.
