i hope this sporty cat can brighten your day (despite his grumpy face)
kuroo has always been a bit of a prankster, pulling harmless jokes on his friends to get a kick out of their reactions. it's his unique way of showing love. what he didn't realize was that you could match his energy.
"happy birthday, tetsu!" you exclaim. "time to make a wish."
inhaling deeply, he blows at the candle in one strong gust. but when he opens his eyes, the flame is still there.
"what. i thought i.." kuroo trails off and tries again unsuccessfully.
you watch in amusement as a look of confusion settles on his features. little does he know you bought a trick candle for his cake, one that would relight itself no matter how hard he tried to blow.
kuroo is no fool, and he catches on quickly after the second attempt when the flame still persists.
"i can't believe you'd betray me like this," he gasps, feigning shock. "a trick candle? really?"
"it's a symbol of my undying love for you," you profess dramatically though you can hardly keep a straight face.
"hmm then why don't you prove it? i think i deserve compensation for the mental distress you've put me through."
he leans in for a kiss only to be met with a generous dollop of frosting planted on his nose.
"i'm gonna remember what you did," kuroo warns jokingly as you're doubled over in a fit of giggles. "you won't be laughing when it's time for your birthday."
"oh come on, someone's gotta give you payback for all the pranks you've pulled."
before you can react, he smears some frosting on your cheek, and you shriek in surprise. sounds of mirth echo through the kitchen as you chase each other around, cake and candle long abandoned. when kuroo finally captures you and you're catching your breath in his arms, he can't imagine a better way to spend his birthday.

the instant kuroo falls in love, it's so over for him...
the realization hits him on a random wednesday evening. it's such a mundane moment, too, as he sits next to you on the train traveling back to the apartment complex you both live in.
when you laugh at one of his stupid jokes, kuroo's heart skips a beat. truth be told, he doesn't believe what he said was particularly funny but who cares? all he can think about was wanting to hear your sounds of mirth every day. even with the bustle of the evening train, kuroo only focuses on you. on the crinkles in the corners of your eyes. on the sunset glow cast on your face. on the joyous expression adorning your features. foolishly, he wonders how he had been so clueless to his feelings all this time.
the silence is uncharacteristic of him, and it doesn't go unnoticed by you. wanting to turn the tables on the typically silver-tongued man, you decide to tease him a bit.
"cat got your tongue? have my striking good looks and charming personality finally won you over?"
kuroo bites the inside of his cheek, heartbeat thudding dangerously loud against his chest. have you figured him out so quickly?
"maybe," he replies ambiguously, but if you look closer, you can see a slight red tint to his features.
now, it's your turn to feel the heat rise to your face. "what?"
"don't worry about it," he answers a bit too quickly and pivots the conversation to something about innovative marketing tactics to get the youth more interested in volleyball. which you're hardly listening to after his sudden half confession.
little do you know, kuroo is also barely paying attention to the words coming out of his own mouth as he tries to talk his heart rate down. but it's proving to be difficult when you keep glancing at him with those eyes that he's so weak to.
he gulps. this is going to be hard.
