Kenma's POV:
(your username when you chat online with kenma is ruizu. its SUCH a shit name, i know, but i have no more ideas lol)
I spent that whole 'endurance training' thing just sulking.
We spent the rest of the session just sitting under the tree. She stopped trying to get me to talk after a while, which I feel pretty bad about. It's just that I don't know what to say in front of her. The one time I actually had the guts to talk I just ended up getting mad at her. All she had asked me was how many laps I could run.
As soon as practice was over, she didn't say a word to me and got up and left. I saw her waiting outside the locker room for Kuroo. They walk home together everyday. They live nearby or something, but I actually live right next door to him. He holds her stuff for her, and they bump into each other and giggle all the time. Kuroo is my only friend, so I shouldn't get mad at him, but a part of me wishes he had never met y/n.
Today, I fast-walk home. I want to get home and play cod, but since I don't have my pc here right now, I pull out my phone and open discord.
kodzuken: hey wanna play cod later
ruizu: suree
kodzuken: ur a girl right
ruizu: bruh
ruizu: we've been talking for like 3 years and u don't know my gender are u fr
kodzuken: thats not how i meant it
ruizu: i hope not ahaha
ruizu: but seriously whats up
kodzuken: can i ask u something
ruizu: shoot
I hesitate before I start typing, but I can trust her. I've known her for ages, and she always gives me the best advice on stuff that I could never ask anyone at school.
kodzuken: am i mean
ruizu: ??
ruizu: no???
ruizu: who tf said that imma knock em out
I smile. I have mild feelings for her, which are threatening to grow all the time, but I could never fully like someone without having met them, and I'm scared she'll be like y/n and think I'm a freak or something. I don't want to ruin it. Besides, having a crush on one girl is more than enough.
kodzuken: nvm
ruizu: ???!!!!
ruizu: tell me
ruizu: now
kodzuken: its nbd
kodzuken: unapproachable?
kodzuken: do u think im unapproachable
ruizu: ok tbh i cant rly be the judge of that
ruizu: cuz i met u online?
ruizu: unless ur some sort of creepy perv
kodzuken: gtfo
ruizu: HAHAH
ruizu: but i think ur okay
kodzuken: really
ruizu: yeah
ruizu: bet all the girls in ur school would wanna smash
kodzuken: hah.
ruizu: what does this have 2 do with me being a girl lol
kodzuken: would u laugh at me
kodzuken: if i asked u about a girl
ruizu: i'd always laugh at u no matter what what are u talking about
kodzuken: ofc
kodzuken: so theres this girl i know
kodzuken: and i think i like her
I reach home and go straight to the kitchen to look for something I could microwave into a mediocre dinner.
ruizu: wait is this the chick from school u told me about?
kodzuken: yea
ruizu: well the important thing is
ruizu: is she hot
kodzuken: idk
ruizu: describe!!
I hesitate again. I don't want to give anything obvious away. Call me paranoid, but it seems like everyone thinks I'm a freak and would do anything to humiliate me. Where's the guarantee that she won't come find me in school and look for a girl with matching descriptions to embarrass me?
Since I can't be bothered to get a pot out and boil it, I put some water in the microwave to make instant noodles.
kodzuken: lets play cod
We play till 2 in the morning, until she says she has to go, so I go to sleep because there's nothing else to do anyways.
I wake to pounding on the door.
"Kenma, Kuroo's here"
"I'll be right there, Mom," I lie.
I turn on my phone.

"Took ya long enough there, Kenma-kun" Kuroo taunts, imitating my mom's voice.
"Oh I couldn't wait to see you, Kuuurooo," I reply, for some reason attempting to mimic y/n's voice.
