The tears flowed freely now. Years of secret glances. Years of disguising blushes as heat exhaustion. Years of late night, Kenma’s moans disturbing the quiet of his room. His hand would travel down his chest, acrid guilt accompanying his eventual release. It all had to stop. But he couldn’t manage it himself. He needed to be forced from Kuroo’s side. He needed to leave for good.

And he knew the most painful way to do it.

It’s a double update! The original draft was way too long to warrant uploading in a single chapter, so I decided to spare your guy’s eyes and split them up. Enjoy!

Kuroo shifted closer to his back and wrapped an arm around his waist. What Kenma wouldn’t have given to flip around and bury himself in his chest. Would Kuroo pull him closer? Would his heart pound loud enough that Kenma wouldn’t have to press his ear to him to hear it? Maybe, just this once, he could be forgiven for taking the chance.

He closed his eyes, begging for a different dream.

A dream where his soulmate bond wasn’t platonic.
