Really Fake Chapter 11: Looks Like A Pussy

Kuroo tilted his head slightly, he could sense your attitude had shifted but he didn’t know why it had happened so suddenly.

“Y/N-chan.” Kenma asked softly from beside you as you sat down beside him, ” do you like Kuro?”

You jumped at his directness and looked at him while he continued to play his video game, acting as if he hadn’t just asked you a question.

“No? That ass?” You replied stiffly, “no way.”

Kenma looked up and over at you, his keen, catlike eyes, studying you silently.

“Ok.” He replied softly as he looked from you back down to his game.

“He totally does believe me.” You thought as you looked down at the drink in your hand and cracked the lid open to drink it.

………………………………

You left a little earlier from Kuroo’s practice that afternoon, claiming you had to get home to help your pa with something.

“Ok, babe, I’ll see you tomorrow then, yeah?” He said with a mischievous grin, “want a kiss goodbye?”

You just ignored his comment and left the gym, not even looking back at him as you walked out the door.

He watched you go, again, feeling like something had changed but not quite knowing what it was.

After finishing practice he and Kenma headed home together, walking silently side by side.

“Good practice today, huh?” Kuroo commented to Kenma as they walked.

“Mmm.” Kenma agreed as they strolled along, his head down at he continued to play his video game.

“Dunno what was wrong with Y/N towards the end though.” Kuroo commented, not really expecting an answer from the shorter setter, more just musing to himself that anything else.

“Kuro, I think she doesn’t like the teasing.” Kenma commented as he continued to play his game.

“What do mean, pudding head, of course she likes it, that’s what we do!” Kuroo replied with a laugh.

“No, I don’t think that she like you calling her your girlfriend when she’s clearly not. I think she has feelings for you.”

“But she knows the deal, it’s just a fake relationship.” Kuroo said defensively.

“There’s a possibility she overheard what you said just before she came back into the gym with your drink.” Kenma said.

Kuroo was silent for a bit as he thought about it.

“Yeah she was different after that.” He said with a sigh, “I should go and apologize.”

“Do you like her, Kuro?” Kenma asked as he cleared the level he was playing and looked up at the taller teammate.

“As in romantically?” Kuroo asked as he looked thoughtful for a bit. “I don’t know.” He added honestly after thinking a bit, “I don’t dislike her…”

Kenma studied him with his narrow golden eyes, then looked back down at his game.

“Mmhmm.” He hummed as he started the next level.

“What kind of games are you playing these days?” Kuroo teased, “romance ones? Since when did you get so good at noticing someone’s romantic feelings.”

Kenma blushed.

“No it’s nothing like that.” He said softly, “but I could see what was going on with Y/N… It was obvious.”

………………………………….

You got home and called out to your Pa.

“I’m home~!” You sung, dropping your bag at the front door.

“Who goes there?” Pa called playfully from the lounge room.

You cracked a small smile and walked into the lounge room, flopping down on the couch dramatically.

“What’s up buttercup?” Your pa asked when he saw your dramatic fall.

“Just… stuff.” You mumbled as you rolled your face into the cushions, “nothing I want to talk about.”

“Ahhh.” He said emphatically as he slowly got up from his chair, “this calls for my world famous hot chocolate!”

You cracked another smile into the cushions then lifted your head.

“Did you say hot chocolate?” You asked with a smile.

“Sounds like your ears want some!” He said in his old warbly voice as he hobbled our to the kitchen.

“Pa, that makes no sense.” You laughed.

He continued on out to the kitchen, pulling mugs and kettles out to make you both a hot cuppa.

As you lay there on the couch the doorbell rang.

“Who is…??” You thought as you sat up.

“I’ll get it.” You called as you dragged yourself off the couch and ambled to the front door.

You pulled it open and came face to face with with Kuroo’s torso. Surprised, you looked up into his face then deadpanned.

“What do you want?” You asked in a flat tone as you stared him down.

“I came to apologize.” Kuroo said softly as he looked down at you.

“For what?” You asked as a scowl pulled at your brows.

“For…. going overboard with the teasing.” He said honestly, “I’m sorry, I’ll stop.”

You looked down at the ground.

“Yeah… ok, thanks.” You replied, “well if that’s all?”

“Who is it, pumpkin?” Your pa’s shrill voice called out from behind you, making you jump.

“It’s uh…” you said, pausing as you debated on what to say as you looked back at him over your shoulder. “Kuroo Tetsuro.” You added bluntly.

“Ah!” He said with elderly excitement, “TIT! Yes I remember you mentioning him.”

You quickly looked back at Kuroo.

“I swear I didn’t call you a tit!” You said hurriedly, “it was a misunderstanding and—.”

“Looks like a PUSSY to me!” Your pa said as he peered at Kuroo over your shoulder. “Those eyes!”

“PA?! Oh wait?? You mean looks like a cat?” You said, your original horrified expression fading to relief.

“That’s what I said.” Your pa deadpanned.

Kuroo burst out laughing, bending forward slightly as the laughter racked his body.

“God, I’m so sorry.” You said with a cringed look on your face.

“Don’t be, Y/N, it’s fine.” Kuroo said once he had composed himself. “Pleasure to meet you Mr??”

“Mr L/N.” Your pa said with a gummy smile as he moved you aside and stretched his hand out to shake Kuroo’s. “Come in, young man.”

“Thank you, I will.” Kuroo said as he flashed you a mischievous smile.

You groaned as he entered.

“You’re just in time for my world famous hot chocolate!” Your pa said as he waddled stiffly off down the hallway.

“Sounds good to me!” Kuroo replied with a smile.

“Take a seat in the lounge room, I’ll be in in a minute.” Your pa said, gesturing towards the door with a knobby finger.

You stifled a groan and followed Kuroo into the lounge room.

“Hey, uh, you don’t have to stay? My pa would invite the whole damn neighborhood into the house if he was given the opportunity.” You said in a low voice so that your pa couldn’t hear you. “And I uh, kinda haven’t told him that we’re fake dating… I just said you’re my boyfriend.”

“Nah, it’s cool.” Kuroo said as he sat down, “Y/N, I really do actually like hanging with you, please don’t think that I don’t. I can handle pa, just leave it to me.”

You stiffened slightly but didn’t say any more as you walked over and sat beside him.
