well, he's busy at the moment. this game won't test itself. ” and how long has it been since you guys broke up? „ kenma lets out a loud sigh, tilting his head back until it hits the couch. he closes his eyes. ” i'm just asking. „ shoyo raises his hand, poking kenma's

cheek. it earns him a quick smack but he doesn't mind. ” a year. it's been a year shoyo. are you happy now? „ kenma groans some, sitting back up and glaring at his so called best friend. ” hey ken, i'm gonna head out. „ kuroo comes out of nowhere, smirking at shoyo like

he always does, ” i'll text you when i'm on my way home. „ kenma nods easily at that, unbothered, before glaring at shoyo again. ” home? you mean, kenma's apartment? „ shoyo tries to correct, ignoring kenma's annoyed kick to his shin. ” ...yeah. home. „ kuroo chuckles

and brushes it off. he leans over the couch and kisses kenma's cheek. ” bye. „ kenma mumbles, a little red in the face as he watches kuroo grin at him and walk out. ” what was the point of breaking up if he's going to live here anyway? and what was that! when did he

start kissing you! „ shoyo's voice is a little too high pitched and annoying for kenma but he chooses to ignore his friend anyway. they're not going to talk about his relationship with kuroo, definitely not. he hopes shoyo will let it go but even as he leaves the living room,

shoyo follows him all the way to his office. ” i just don't get it! i was literally holding you in my arms while you were crying your soul out because of kuroo and now you're back together?! „ ” we're not! „ • • • ” we're not! „ kuroo protests as he chugs what's left

of his beer, ” we're not together anymore, guys, come on! „ ” right, and i'm dating the worst chef in the world. „ suna quips back, rolling his eyes. ” and me, the worst editor! „ bokuto adds on, before drooping slightly, ” keiji's the best editor ever... „ hajime groans

and smacks bokuto on the back, ” stop drinking for god's sake... „ he then turns to kuroo, talk about god, only he knows how he got stuck here, ” let me ask you a couple of questions so we can move on. „ kuroo leans in closer, seemingly ready to answer to whatever hajime's about

to ask. ” who iron your shirts? „ ” kenma. „ ” who cooks? „ ” i cook, pfff— i don't trust him in my kitchen. „ ” who does the dishes? „ ” kenma, i cook, he cleans. fair square. „ ” who sleeps on the right side of the bed? „ ” kenma! he hates sleeping on the left

side and— „ a pause. ” okay, i get it. „ kuroo lifts both hands up, flushing up as suna cackles out, ” i get what you mean! but i'm serious. we're not dating. „ there's a certain hint of sadness in his voice that nobody catches onto usually but bokuto's drunk enough

to perceive those vibes. ” bro... „ he slurrs out, wrapping his thick arm around kuroo's shoulder to lock him in a tight embrace. his other arm comes to flex under kuroo's chin, effectively holding him stuck. ” i understand your pain, if akaashi broke up with me...

i wouldn't want to leave his apartment either. „ bokuto's lips quiver and he blinks away a few tears. ” bokuto— let me— i can't breathe— „ hajime gently coax bokuto with another beer, freeing kuroo from his muscled cage, ” as i was about to say, it's purely practical to

live with kenma. we know each others and the office is literally 10 minutes away. „ he explains for the billionth time, rolling further up the sleeves of his shirt. he lightly hisses at that, ah... kenma's not gonna be happy about the wrinkles. ” that's not the problem here,

tetsuro. „ hajime sighs out, rubbing the side of his neck, ” the problem is that you guys had the worst break up in history and you both are in denial. that's why you stay there. you think that if you stick around long enough, kenma's gonna want you back. „ kuroo's eye twitch

and he chuckles humorlessly after a few seconds of staring — glaring, really — at hajime. ” okay, i'm gonna get the tab. „ he cuts the conversation short, leaving suna, hajime & bokuto alone. • • • ” can't you just call tobio to pick you up? „ kenma grumbles.

” no! no, we need to talk about this! „ shoyo waves his arms around but kenma would much rather go back to gaming. instead, he heads for every room to try and avoid shoyo, finding something to do, to tidy, just so he doesn't need to talk. there's nothing to say anyway.

” it's like he never left! his stuff are everywhere, you still sleep together, fuck, he kisses you goodnight, and good morning! „ shoyo's practically hysterical, suddenly snatching the t-shirt kenma was folding to busy his shaky hands. ” you're folding his clothes! kenma, wake

up! „ kenma slams his hands on top of the washing machine, ” i am aware! „ he yells back. ” i know what we're doing makes no sense but i've never been happier than this, even while we were dating! „ shoyo's finally quiet, maybe because he didn't expect kenma to tear up and

actually talk back. ” i know that he's here, that we look like we're dating, or that we're married, but whatever we have going on is better than dating! „ kenma sobs lightly, coughing to try and cover it as he turns away. he breathes in and out a couple of times before

taking back the t-shirt shoyo was holding since before, to fold it messily and throw it in a basket full of kuroo's clean clothes. ” it's not easy to ask someone you loved for more than 15 years to pack their stuff and leave. „ he ends their conversation like this.

shoyo lets kenma leave the laundry room, giving him a minute to gather his emotions as he waits in the living room. it takes a few minutes but kenma comes back, ” you should go. he's gonna be back in half an hour and i need to make dinner. „ he says quietly. ” kenma, i just— „

” i know. let me handle this. „ he grabs shoyo's coat and hands it to the ginger. reluctantly, shoyo slides on his coat and hesitates before opening the front door, ” i'm just worried about you. „ ” thank you. „ kenma murmurs, holding the door open. he only closes it when

shoyo's walking down the stairs. as much as kenma loves to deny it, pretend that everything is alright and that nothing happened, he supposes it's time kuroo & him have a proper talk.
