The Sunrise and Your Sins

Chapter 3

"Tobacco?" You ask, walking closer to the container.

"Cuban cigars." Kita says, laughing as he walked further into the container.

"Hey Snake Eyes, let the boss know we're in the container. 20 bricks right?" Kuroo asked into his ear piece.

"I'll let him know. And yes, 20 exactly. He left a note in the file that said you may have to look around a bit for the cargo. Also, Sly Fox, don't take any cigars." Kenma says, right as Kita was stuffing a handful of cigars into his pocket. Kita reluctantly returns them to the pile they were taken from.

"Got it, 20 pieces of cargo. We'll make contact again once they've been located." Kuroo says, tapping his ear piece twice. "Okay, 20 bricks. Let's start from the back and make our way out, whenever you find one, take it straight out to my car. Princess, you're the look out."

"Why do I have to be the look out?" You protest.

"You can't reach the top of the containers, chica." Oikawa points out, putting his hand on one of the shipping boxes that towered over you. Kuroo snickered, walking up to you.

"Just stay outside, kitten. Let us know if there's any big bad guys coming?" Kuroo says, putting his arm around you and walking you outside.

You rolled your eyes and shrugged his arm off. "Whatever, just hurry up, it's freezing out here."

You stand outside, staring out to the distant city lights, listening to the quiet waves that lapped against the side of the port. Kuroo came and went, bringing cigar boxes filled with cocaine out to his car.

After the 12th box, he noticed you were crouched down with your arms tucked into your jacket, the arms of your jacket swinging in the breeze. He laughs, walking up to you.

"Cold?" He asked, looking down at you.

"Maybe." You answered through chattering teeth.

"Here." He says, taking the red bomber jacket off his body and wrapping it around you, using it as an opportunity to pull you closer to him. "Your dad might slice my head off if you catch a cold." He whispers into your ear, making you laugh.

"How're we doing guys?" Kenma asks through the ear piece.

"A little over halfway done. Anything we should be worried about?" Kuroo says.

"Nope, still all clear. Just let me know when you're done and heading out." Kenma says, muting himself.

"Back to work." Kuroo says, pulling you in tighter for a moment before letting you go. You stood there, warm under his jacket, wrapped up in the lingering scent of his cologne that remained. You wanted to freeze time, to live in this moment of calm, feeling protected just by the residual presence of Kuroo.

"This is the last of it." Oikawa says, walking out of the container with Kuroo. They each had 4 boxes in their hands, which they placed in the back of Kuroo's car.

"Ready to go?" Kita says, popping up next to you out of nowhere, causing you to jump.

"Jesus, where did you even come from?" You ask, startled by his sudden appearance.

Kita smirked. "They don't call me sly fox for nothing." He says, walking back to his car. Kuroo was busy closing up the container, securing it and making it appear as if we were never there. Oikawa was leaning over the trunk of Kuroo's car, arranging the boxes of drugs underneath a spare blanket.

"Snake Eyes, you there?" Kuroo asks, walking back to the car.

"Yup, all ready to go?" Kenma responds.
