They won; they were going to nationals. Nekomaâs captain had all reason to be happyâ ecstatic even; this wouldnât be his last game and they actually have a shot playing Karasuno. Weirdly enough, he was in too much dismay to enjoy their victory, ordering his team to line up in front of their schoolmates who came to cheer them on.
His fan club was there, but you werenât. He knows you didnât attend his game; his eyes would always scan the crowd at every timeout and your absence would disappoint him each time, tongue pressing against the inside of his cheek as he tries to figure out why you didnât come to support him.
You were his number one fan, right? He pretended to not know and be nonchalant about how you âsubtlyâ admired him, but oh, he knowsâ and youâd be embarrassed to know how he found out. One last time, before leaving the court, he looks up at the stands; and still, you werenât there.
Maybe he was twisted or obsessed, but spiking a ball, scoring off a block or amazingly digging a seemingly impossible-to-receive ball just didnât feel as exhilarating despite the constant cheering of his name. Pride didnât course through his veins all throughout the match wherein he led his team without flaw and he blames you for it.
He never got to see the head-over-heels look in your eyes, didnât hear you shout his name or clutch at your chest anxiously at a long rally, and most importantly, you werenât there to approach him after such a hard-earned and awaited victorious match. If you were, he just knows it was the time to ask you out on a date instead of settling for the âletâs like each other from afarâ relationship.
âKuroo,â Kenma mutters under his breath, making the disheartened captain look up from his own shoes. He wonders why theyâve stopped, the bus was waiting, but when he sees you standing before his team, heâs rendered helplessly speechless.
You stood self-consciously aware that all of them were staring at you. Not that that mattered much, what really made you become a jumble of nerves was Kurooâs passive stare. How could you even look at him in the eyes? The answer is you canât, he was too glorious youâre bound to go blind. His hair was messy as usual and his tall figure made him stand out, black shirt beautifully sticking to his body and his red shorts just not long enough to shield your sight away from his thighs.
âThe bus is waiting, letâs hurry up,â Kuroo nonchalantly says to his team, your heart sinking for some reason. What did you expect anyway? You were just another one of his fans and your unwavering feelings for him wonât magically make him like you back.
You just want to see him a little longer, cursing yourself for waking up late and not seeing his game. Before you knew it, one of them passed by you, and another, and another until finally, he walked by you as well, the momentary closeness of Kuroo Tetsuro just when he was beside you making your knees weak and your heart ache with longing.
Unrequited love is hard and being his fan is hard though itâs one of your greatest joys. Seeing him happy, knowing that he had aced another test and witnessing the grin on his face as he focused on something he loved to do made you ultimately content and happy, and that was enough.
But were you sincerely content with it or was it just a lie you told yourself to erase the pain of being a mere fan among many?
Screw loving him from a distance. âKuroo-senpai!â You call for him, turning around with your body set on sprinting towards his bus if you have to. You were so sure you would confess today, in front of his team if you must without fearing his rejection; but what were you supposed to do when youâre met with his chest the moment you turn around?
He was right in front of you, hands inside the pockets of his unzipped red Nekoma jacket. You lose your voice and bravery, pathetically unable to move or even look up at him as you internally go into panic. He is looking at you and you know that he knows youâre flustered.
âIâm right here,â he quietly says and you gulp. âWerenât you going to say something?â
For a second you doubt that they won, he just seemed so glum and scary. âItâs nothing, I- Iâm sorry, I should go,â your strings of stuttered words were barely audible and your rushing to leave made him all the more frustrated, âafter skipping my match like that youâll run off so soon?â
You look up at him in surprise, âhow do you know I wasnât there?â
âWhere were you?â He ignores your question, but you were more curious. âWhy do you care?â
He involuntarily cracks a grin, just a second ago you were hardly coherent and you were obviously nervous but now youâre answering his question with another question without breaking a sweat. âI donât have to answer you if youâre not telling me what it is you wanted to tell me earlier.â
You raise a brow at him, âI said it was nothing.â
âYou called for me as if your life was on the line, Iâm sure it was nothing,â he sarcastically says. You werenât sure before, but now youâre positive that he was teasing you. Heâs lost the depressing aura he had earlier and wore the cutest grin youâve seen on him as he stares back at you.
You silently commend yourself for not breaking eye contact but now you donât even know what to do, feeling cornered and restless. Now is the perfect time to confess, there wonât be another chance like this because you know youâre too chicken to go through another nerve-wracking encounter with him.
âKuroo-senpai,â you softly say, and he subtly bites the inside of his cheek to fight off the smile that threatened to show upon hearing you say his name. âI- I think I like you,â you mutter, biting your lip as you immediately look away.
âYou think?â He taunts, taking a daring step closer to you and smirking when you squeak instead of taking a step back. Heâs got you wrapped around his finger and he knows it, âyou sound unsure, and thatâs not good enough.â
âGood enough for what?â You canât fight it anymore, you just had to look back at him, wanting to touch him all the more that he stood this painfully close. âGood enough to be more than just my silly fan,â he chuckles, before stepping away.
âI have to go, and since you missed my game earlier,â he trails off in thought but you fail to register a word he just said because you were just so mesmerized at the sight of him. He genuinely looked happy and carefree, his eyes twinkling with excitement and his lips pulled up in a playful grin.
His victory earlier caught on to him but what really made him this euphoric was your confession. âSince you missed my game earlier, you could make up for it by going out with me.â
âWhat?â Your jaw drops, and his grin widens. âText me later kitten,â he winks, slowly backing away as he takes steps back, his gaze still not leaving yours, âI assume you have my number.â
âI donât.â You lie.
âKuroo-senpai, you donât know me, but Iâm your biggest fan and I hope you ace your test today,â he playfully says, looking back at your horrified expression with a smug smirk.
He takes another step back, âsenpai, itâs me again. Iâd love to run my fingers through your messy hair, oh and you looked really dashing today in a lab coat.â
Another step, âKuroo-senpai, you havenât been sleeping well, Iâm worried and I hope you start taking better care of yourself.â
âStop!â You hiss.
His smirk falls off, replaced by a serious but soft look as he stares back at you, âsenpai, you were really amazing today, but I donât like you just because youâre tall, or handsome or an insanely amazing volleyball player and captain. I love how you care for everyone around you; I love how youâre always so eager to study for chemistry and I definitely love how you kindly flash a smile of gratitude towards your fans after every game. It makes me happy; I just like you very much, Kuroo-senpai, and Iâll support you at your every match since thatâs the only time I could express how I feel for you without being discovered.â
âYou even memorized that?!â You shriek, words couldnât even explain how embarrassed you are right now as you cover your face with your hands; youâre pretty much close to crying at this point.
âYou⊠broke off your promise, you werenât there to cheer me on earlier,â his lips press into a thin line before he cracks a grin, âthat was how I expedted your confession to go, but itâs fine,â he snickers.
âSo all along you knew that was me?â
âI know you thought you were anonymous when you sent me those texts but I had your contact saved too, I liked you first you know,â he chuckles, âand for the record,â he bites his lip, hesitant to continue but he does, âI donât even look at anyone else after a matchâ Â I donât flash a smile of gratitude to my fans y/n, I smile at you.â Â
Giving you one last soft smile, he finally turns around and walks away. Who wouldâve thought the man of your dreams had you in his every night far longer than you?
