starling

the vivid memory of childishly kicking your legs on a swing, boosting yourself higher and higher! you smiled and laughed innocently until you slipped off the swing, pain shooting through your chubby hands before you registered what happened, tears slipped down your rosy cheeks yelling for your mom. a shadow loomed over you.. you knew who it was before you looked.

"you okay?" a gentle hand reached, it was kuroo... looking out for you, as he always did.

time jogged by and played funny tricks on you. from kindergarden you and kuroo would chase each other around with transformer masks on, giggling away until your ribs hurt. to middle school where you helped him pursue volleyball, him dragging you and his new friend kenma to the local gym to practice recieves until your arms hurt. to now highschool where you would patiently wait for practice to be over just to walk home together and a kiss goodbye.
