Quiet Lullaby (Kenma x reader)

Chapter 17

protective

The trio entered the gym and (Y/N) shrunk slightly behind Kenma, peering around his shoulder at the lot of boys in the gym. Her gaze focused on the one with spiky hair that was walking up to them,

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" The boy hollered, his shouting seemed to be directed at Kuroo.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Kuroo replied, throwing an arm around his friend and turning towards him, "Long time, no see!"

"Yeah, I missed you, bro," they shared a quick hug, at which (Y/N) let a giggle slip.  Kuroo cocked his head up to see how had laughed. His eyes landed on the pair he had walked in and a mischievous smirk slipped onto his face. He turned his friends to face (Y/N) and Kenma. The boys face lit up and he practically ran the small gap between himself and the girl. Wrapping her in a warm bear hug,

"Kuroo, you told me she was cute but not this cute!" The boy exclaimed. (Y/N) face turned as red as the Nekoma jersey that hung over her shoulders,

"What did you say to him?" Kenma hissed at the bed-headed boy, visibly irritated. Kuroo was somewhat taken aback. He'd never seen his friend act in such away about... Well, about anything. He was like an angry and protective little puppy or , more accurately, a cat,

"Don't worry," Kuroo chuckled, "I'm not gonna steal your girlfriend." Kenma looked dissatisfied with his friend's response and glanced at (Y/N) who stepped from behind him, Bokuto's arm slung around her shoulder,

"Not like you could, trash can," (Y/N) commented; Bokuto erupted into fits of laughter and a smile adorned Kenma's face,

"Ah," Kuroo gasped in mock hurt, feigning a broken heart, "You've crushed my dreams."

(Y/N) giggled, punching Kuroo in the arm. She felt much more at ease now she had met Bokuto, no one would be louder than him or Hinata and she knew them and both Kuroo and Kenma had assured her that no one in any of the teams was mean,

"Let's go!" Bokuto cheered, breaking the brief silence, "I wanna show you to the rest of my team!"

"Okay! Let's go!" (Y/N) beamed, pecking Kenma on the cheek before dashing off with Bokuto to the other side of the gym.

Kenma watched her go, a loving smile on his face.

"You really love her, don't you?" Kuroo asked, in clinging his head to the left. Kenma turned away from his friend, mainly to hide the blush growing on his face. But Kuroo easily noticed him nodding his head.
