kuroo has never wanted someone to be his new year’s kiss this bad before. (this is a no corona virus world :”)! happy new year, everyone! (technically this is new year’s eve but FUCK IT)
it’s the new year’s eve gathering thrown by bokuto, and kuroo’s lounging on the sofa nursing a can of beer. normally, he would be happily sauntering around and talking to people, but this year’s different. he’s been having this weird feeling in his chest the entire time, and so he decides to sit his ass down and just chill for the night.
and just as he’s about to take a sip of his beer, he hears a loud, familiar laugh, and his eyes instantly looks for the person whom the laugh escaped from, and the weird feeling in his chest intensifies.
you’re looking as pretty as usual, with the casual slip on dress flowing just a little at the bottom from the air-conditioner in the room, and the little dangly earrings hanging on your ears swinging slightly as you animatedly talk to bokuto and tsukishima about something.
kuroo watches you, the beer in his arms forgotten, and the weird feeling in his chest just becomes a whole lot worse when you let out another one of your laughs, the ones that make his chest feel warm, and that smile on your face is just so beautiful, and he realises that he’s never ever seen someone as beautiful as you before.
maybe he’s biased, speaking as your childhood best friend, but really, nobody was as amazing as you.
and then it clicks for him.
the weird feeling in his chest suddenly makes sense to him, and kuroo wants to shout and yell at how unfair this all was, because why did he have to fall for his best friend out of all people? he loves you, and he can’t do anything about it because he’s going to ruin the friendship between the both of you and he doesn’t want to lose you.
and yet, there’s never been someone he wanted to kiss so bad before.
he continues to stare at you, and eventually you realise that someone’s eyes are on you, and you turn your head to meet his eyes with a smile, and raise up a hand to wave at him to stay put.
kuroo raises an eyebrow slightly as you turn back to say something to both bokuto and tsukishima, and bokuto grins at you and shoots a thumbs up, and tsukishima rolls his eyes and says something back at you that causes you to punch his arm.
he wonders what the hell tsukishima said to you to cause you to react like that, but before he can try to think further about it, you’re flouncing over with a skip in your step, and that pretty smile on your face, and kuroo wants to die.
“hey, tetsu,” you say, and tap his leg to get him to move it so you can slide into the space beside him, “what’s up?”
kuroo wants to tell you what’s up. he really does. he wants to tell you that he just realised that he’s been in love with you for ages, and that he really, really wants to kiss you, but he can’t, so he merely shrugs, “nothing much.”
“you alright?” you’re leaning closer to him, and he can smell your perfume, and you smell so good, and he wants to yell because how the hell was this fair to him?
“yeah,” he breathes, and leans away from you slightly, not catching the confused furrow of your brows when he does.
“are you sure?” you’re looking at him with this look in your eyes, and it almost makes kuroo have the hope that maybe, just maybe, you’re in love with him too.
“tetsu?” you say, and you’re looking at him with that look again, “you’re really quiet today, and you haven’t been talking to everyone like you usually are, are you sure you’re alright?”
kuroo wants to swear. because darn it, how the hell could you read him so easily?
you take his hands and you clasp your hands around his, and his breath hitches slightly because your hands felt really soft and they just looked so right with his, and he feels his heart speeding up just a little faster when you look at him again, “you know you can tell me anything, right?”
kuroo sucks in a deep breath, and forces out a smirk, “yeah, of course, (Y/N).”
you smile a relieved smile at him, and kuroo really, really wants to kiss you.
“one more minute to the new year!” bokuto’s excited yell sounds across the room, and everyone around kuroo and you start to chatter and some start to count down, and kuroo blinks when you pull him up from the couch, and you grin at him with that smile of yours, and he smiles back down at you.
“ask me what i want for the new year,” you suddenly say when bokuto yells that there’s thirty seconds left, and kuroo tilts his head at you, and you’re looking away from him, but are you—are you biting your lip?
“what do you want for new year?” he decides to not question you because he knows all too well what would happen if he did, and he raises his brows as you look back at him.
“i already have everything, actually. a good job, a good apartment, good friends like bokuto and the rest, a good life,” you say, and kuroo tries not to feel hurt that you didn’t exactly talk about him, “but i want to have the balls to tell my best friend that i think i might be in love with him.”
“ten seconds left!” bokuto yells, and kuroo snaps out of his daze, and he looks at you to make sure that he heard things properly, and you’re biting your lip slightly as you look up at him, and god, you look so, so beautiful right now.
“I’m going to give you three seconds to pull away,” kuroo says very quickly, and he watches your eyes widen in surprise, “and if you don’t, i’m going to kiss you.”
you’re still staring at him, this time, a small smile quirking up at the side of your lips.
and kuroo sucks in a deep breath before he pulls you close and leans down to press a kiss onto your lips.
“you’re an idiot,” he mumbles against your lips when he finally pulls away from you, a small smirk surfacing onto his face when you look at him with offense, “i’m in love with you as well.”
