The Exchange Part One (Kenma x Male Reader)

Kenma

I lift my head from my PSP just long enough to glance at my friend. I acknowledge his presence and get back to my game. "Took you long enough."

"I'm heading inside. Want anything?" Kuroo, or rather, Kuro says, referring to the konbini we frequently visit after school.

I shake my head.

Minutes later, he shoves an onigiri in my face. "Eat it."

I keep my attention focused on my game. "I'm not hungry."

He opens the wrapper and forces it into my mouth. "You didn't eat much for lunch."

I start to chew. Mmm...I guess I didn't realize I was hungry. Still focused on my game, I allow my friend to hold the rice ball in front of my mouth so I can take bites until it's gone. "Can we go home now? It's hot out here." I stand up from the bench.

Kuro wraps his arm around my shoulder. "Sure thing, Kenma-kun."

"Shut up."

I slip off my shoes as soon as I enter my home. I turn back around when I hear Kuro shout my name.

"I have a surprise. I'll be back by later," he says.

I tilt my head to the side. "Uh...okay."

He starts to walk to his house. I close the door and head straight to my bedroom. I flip on the light and charge my PSP while I finish my homework.

As promised, Kuro walks into my bedroom shortly after dinner. Except...he's not alone. My heart rate increases. A little warning would have been nice.

I don't know where to focus my eyes. I curse at Kuro in my brain, and he smiles at me as if he heard me. I look at my window, contemplating whether or not to jump out.

"Kenma!" Kuro shouts, interrupting my thoughts. "This is (Y/N), an exchange student from America. My family is hosting him so...here we are!"

"Hel-lo?" I say.

(Y/N) bows. "I can speak Japanese. It's nice to meet you."

"K...Kozume...Kenma. Call me Kenma."

Kenma's eyes dart around the room. He looks like he could use an oxygen mask. Kuroo told me to expect this behavior from him.

His computer screen catches my eye. "Hey...I just started that game! How do you like it so far?"

He turns his head to look at the monitor. "It's okay...I guess. The storyline isn't great, but..."

"Yeah," I interrupt. "I agree. But it sounds challenging."

He finally makes eye contact with me. The corners of his lips move upward into a soft smile. "Yeah."

Kuroo slaps my back. "He's also joining the volleyball club."

Kenma looks annoyed with his friend's last comment. "Does that mean practice will last longer?"

Kuroo smiles. "Nah. He comes with experience."

Kenma tosses a ball to me. I jump as high as I can, slapping the air. I land on my feet, cursing at myself. "I promise...I'll get the next one."

He stares at me, expressionless. "This is Lev all over again."

I throw my arms down. "Wait...what...no! I'm good. I've just never practiced like this before."
I get into position to jump again. "I'm ready."
