the sky had turned a soft lavender of the early evening. the streetlights flickered on one by one. you and kuroo walk side by side down the familiar neighborhood streets, your pace unhurried.

kuroo glances at you, his dark hair catching the dim light. there was that smirk tugging at his lips, the one that had always made your heart skip. “how did i pull someone like you…?” he thought, half-awed.

he chuckled, shaking his head. his dark eyes softened in the light as he fell into step with you again. the world just felt quieter when it was just the two of you walking home, a soft, gentle breeze ruffling your hair and the faint sound of his chuckling warming your chest.

you wondered why he was chuckling, but you pushed that thought away. it was just kuroo being kuroo, you supposed.
