"kenma! if you don't get your tumbles, i will be kicking you off the team! i saw another freshman that can take your spot perfectly so if you don't want that to happen, pUT. SOME. EFFORT!" the coach yelled.
it took all of kenma's strength not to roll his eyes for the fifth time within ten minutes. he took his stuff and walked out of the gym, not caring if the coach was yelling at him to come back or if he was getting kicked off the team.
he was just way too fucking tired to be at practice.
walking back to his dorm, he noticed kuroo talking to a girl. without even thinking, kenma was about to call out kuroo's name but then decided he didn't want to annoy the sophomore.
kuroo on the other hand, saw kenma so he said goodbye to his classmate and went over to kenma. "yo kitten!"
kenma turned back to see kuroo walking towards him. he gave the football player a small wave. "did you just finish class?"
"yeah, me and oikawa were planning to hang out today but he fucking ditched me for his boyfriend,"
"what were you guys planning to do?"
kuroo shrugged, fixing his hair a little bit. "we wanted to set up nana and terushima on a date,"
kenma let out a snort. "are you two really that desperate?"
"maybe," he says, dragging it out and laughing. "wanna hang out with me today since oikawa ditched me?"
"i mean, i would but— oh, hey terushima."
kuroo glanced up to see terushima walking towards them. he looked tired, with bags under his eyes.
"hey, you guys just got off class?"
kuroo nods his head. he could tell something was wrong with terushima and was going to say something but then decided not to push it. "since the sun is setting, you guys wanna go to the football field?"
"bet, kenma do you need to go back so you can put your stuff back?" terushima says, pointing at kenma's cheer bag.
"yeah, you two can go to the field, i'll be there."
kuroo took ahold of kenma's sleeve. "i'll walk you back to the dorms,"
kenma stared at kuroo and then at terushima, making a face that asked "can he?". terushima let out a small laugh, waving at them to go back to the dorms and he walked to the football field.
the two walked back, with kuroo still holding onto kenma's sleeve. "kuroo, are you okay?"
"yeah i am," he responds. "i'm just a little worried about terushima."
"he looks like he isn't getting enough sleep,"
kuroo sighs, putting his arm behind his head as the two walked up the stairs. the two got to kemma's dorm, with akaashi on his bunk bed.
"hey akaashi, me and kuroo are going to the football field, wanna come?"
akaashi waves a 'no' to kenma. "i would but me and bokuto have plans,"
kenma rolls his eyes. "alright, suit yourself."
the two then walked out the room, with kuroo laughing while kenma had an annoyed expression on his face.
kuroo slung his arm around kenma and took a look at his face. "why are you sulking? sad that kaashi can't hang out with us?"
"no," he mumbles but kuroo could clearly tell he was sad about it.
the taller boy sighs. "well, those two have been hanging out with each other more ever since they started dating,"
kenma and kuroo finally got to the field, where it was basically empty since no teams were practicing today. they saw terushima on the field already with rin next to him while udon was curled up next to terushima's bag.
rin threw a football towards kuroo, who got it with no effort. "all the single bitches in our group is here," he laughs.
"all the single boys are here," corrected terushima.
kenma sat down next to the bags and immediately, udon got up and crawled onto his lap. he watches as the three of them throw the football around. udon perks his head up and ran off to kuroo, making kenma laugh.
"isn't the football banquet coming up soon?" rin asked, putting a piece of gum in his mouth.
kuroo nods his head. "yeah and we all have the choice to bring a plus one,"
rin then made a face and turned to terushima, smiling. "hey, maybe this is the perfect time to ask out kai,"
terushima shook his head. "nah, i'm not gonna ask her out,"
"why? you guys both like each other," kenma says.
"we both have commitment issues,"
this made the other three boys giggle.
kenma saw terushima pouting and gave the football player a reassuring smile. "it's fine terushima, you don't have to tell her but it's better than keeping your feelings all bottle up,"
"hey look on the bright side," rin says, going over to terushima and ruffling up his hair. "if you and kai get married or something, we get to be brother in law,"
kuroo threw a football at them, hitting rin's head.
"don't you like kiyoko?
rin shrugged, picking the ball up from the ground. "i do but we barely talk,"
"you two are in the same department, you have no excuse," kenma says, rolling his eyes at rin.
"i just wanna date someone who makes me happy," kuroo says, throwing a football up in the air and then catching it again.
terushima is went over to kenma, sitting next to him and putting all his body weight on the cheerleader. udon went over and sat on terushima's lap.
"honestly kuroo, when it comes to dating, your luck isn't the best."
"i think i know that the best out of anyone,"
"well," rin says. "i guess we all have love problems,"
kenma clicks his tongue. "sadly,"
"wait kenma," terushima turned over to him. "do you like anyone at the moment?"
they all stared at him, waiting for an answer. kenma shrugged. "its complicated,"
"in what way?"
"don't know if they like me back or not,"
"i guess we all have the same problem,"

kuroo sat in the edge of his bunk bed, scrolling through tiktok. terushima was busy doing his homework while rin was making the twin towers out of toothpicks.
the three of them were bored out of their minds. right when kuroo was about to call bokuto, his best friend sent a text.
{bokuto😘🥵😫😳‼️}
bokuto😘🥵😫😳‼️
KUROO
LOOK HOW CUTE AKAASHI IS
[image attached]
LIKE BRO
HES SO CUTE
kuroo laughs as he read his best friend's text. oh he definitely knows how cute akaashi is. although the two have dated and broken up a few years ago, kuroo can not deny the underclassmen is quite adorable.
"at least i had one healthy relationship," kuroo mumbles to himself, responding back to bokuto.
now kuroo feels kinda bad for kenma, assuming bokuto was at his and akaashi's dorm.
"oh yeah, about kenma," rin says, almost like he was reading kuroo's mind.
terushima looked up from his sketch, "what about kenma?"
"who do you think he likes? he did mention something about his crush not liking him back today,"
kuroo threw a pillow at rin, almost knocking down his model. he quickly apologized about that but was also laughing at little. "does being nosy run in the nanashima blood?"
terushima leans back on his chair, almost falling over. "kenma's pretty cute, wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people were crushing on him,"
"no denying that,"
"kuroo, don't you like kenma?"
kuroo turned his head towards rin, who had a smug look on his face. "i don't like your attitude, nanashima,"
rin rolls his eyes. "i didn't ask for your opinion about my attitude, tetsurou."
"don't you two argue like a married couple," mumbled terushima, who was at the drafting table.
"anyways," rin says, ignoring what terushima said. "you didn't answer my question,"
"yeah i like him,"
the room went silent. terushima dropped his pen while rin stared at kuroo in shock.
"you fucking what?"
kuroo sighs and stares at his two best friends. "i. like. kenma. kozume."
"NAH YOU'RE CAPPING!" rin shouts.
"WHY WOULD I LIE ABOUT THAT??"
"YOU'RE TOO MUCH OF A PUSSY TO ADMIT SOMETHING LIKE THAT!"
"GIRL..."
the two started to throw insults back and forth at each other.
terushima rubbed his eyes and stared down at his sketch.
it was of the light house near the university.
the blonde scoffs to himself, "i guess i'm the last one..." he mutters.
