The bass pulsed through the house, shaking the walls with every beat. Kuroo’s living room was packed with bodies, all moving to the music, some dancing, others talking or playing games. He had invited every third-year he knew, along with his best friend Bokuto, Akaashi, and even the entire Karasuno team. Against all odds, no one had called in a noise complaint yet—an absolute miracle.

The party was exactly what Kuroo had hoped for. People were playing card games at the dining table, Oikawa and Hanamaki were trying (and failing) to hustle Hinata and Yamaguchi in a game of poker, while Bokuto and Nishinoya had started an impromptu arm-wrestling match in the kitchen, with a crowd of people hyping them up. The atmosphere was electric.

And then, the song changed.

The moment the opening beats of Finesse by Bruno Mars hit, a collective cheer rippled through the crowd. People started dancing, singing along, losing themselves in the rhythm.

You were standing next to Kuroo, casually chatting with a small group—Daichi, Suga, and Yachi—when the moment hit.

“Fellas, grab your ladies, if your lady’s fine—”

Before you could even register what was happening, an arm wrapped around your waist, yanking you away from the conversation. You barely had time to react before you were spun around and pulled flush against Kuroo’s side, his usual cocky smirk firmly in place.

The room erupted in whistles and teasing shouts. Bokuto was grinning like an idiot, nudging Akaashi and pointing. Tanaka and Nishinoya were hollering from across the room. Even Kenma, who had been quietly playing on his Switch in the corner, looked up with mild interest.
