Summary: Kuroo gives Kenma a call after drinking with some friends; a not uncommon occurrence. But when he falls asleep, he forgets one crucial detail.

Kenma gets a lecture, does some reflecting, and makes some realizations.

It can be hard to see what’s always been right in front of you.

Sometimes, you just need a wake up call.

"Am I allowed, to look at him like that? Could it be wrong, when he's just so nice to look at?"

kenma: shut up and just kiss me already!

Friend you are so sweet! Thank you! :D I really like these two- especially after the movie! I've gotcha covered!

CW: Some self-deprecation

“Babe- look how RED you are!” Kuroo was laughing like a child while Kenma shot his hands to his cheeks. “It’s so cute!”

“Stop! Is it that bad?” He knew it was even while asking. They’d been running for awhile now- he probably looked like a freshly watered tomato plant. “I look terrible, don’t I?”

“No way! I love how red you get! It’s so pretty!” Kuroo gathered him up in his arms, making Kenma blush even more. “You look like you’re glowing! My glowing Kemna, hehe.”

“More like your grotesque Kenma.” He didn’t know why he was feeling so dejected over it. It wasn’t the first time he looked like this before Kuroo. Maybe now that they were actually dating, something changed?

“Hey.” A finger poked his side, making him twitch. “Who are you to talk about my gorgeous boyfriend like that, huh?”

“I know the couple- I’m not referring to the tall one.” Kenma’s words shook as more fingers explored, tapping and swirling along his ribs. “The shoohort one lohohoks like a trohohohll!”

“Oh hell NO! You’re gonna take that back right now!” Kuroo grabbed both his sides, tickling with all his might. “That short one is a beautiful elf creature who I love very much! He’s funny and supportive and smart as all hell! If anyone’s a troll, it’s the tall brunette he’s with! How’d he pick someone so fiendish?”

“Shuhuhuhut up! Thahahaht brunette is MY bohohohyfriend!” Kenma caught his hands, glaring with all his might through his laughter. “And he’s not a fiend! He’s thoughtful and well spoken, and he always makes that elf feel like he’s playing the best game in the whole world just being with him.”

Kuroo’s eyes glittered some, his smile shaky as he hugged Kemna close to him. “You really think that, my beloved elf?”

“You know I do. I think a lot of things about you- all good ones.” He was blushing again, but he didn’t care one bit. Not when Kuroo had that beautiful smile on. “Sorry- I shouldn’t be so mean to myself. I know it makes you sad.”

“It does. But I forgive you.” Kuroo kissed his brow, resting his chin on his head. “Let’s both agree we’re the hottest to come out of Nekoma, yeah?”

“Pfft-” Kenma laughed, nodding as he hugged Kuroo back. “Fair enough! I’m hungry- can we get something on the way back?”

“Finally hungry, huh?” The brunette laughed as they began their walk to the convenience store. “Sounds good.”
