Kuroo Tetsuro x Reader

Mood Song: boyfriend

Summary: After Kuroo ditched you on the courts in front of the entire team, the last thing you expected the next week was to find him halfway through your second floor window.

Warnings: Kuroo is a little shit, that's it

“Kuroo what the hell are you doing!”

What was once a peaceful moment in your bedroom of you rubbing lotion on your freshly shaved legs was quickly ruined when you heard your window being pulled up.

Your head whipped around to see a pile of messy black hair leaning inside your room, the boy ungracefully trying to enter your room that was on the second floor of your home.

“You should really keep your.. ah shit.. windows locked doll-” Kuroo spoke in between grunts before he fell to your floor with a thud causing you to wince as you quickly closed the door to your bedroom.

Sure enough what you dreaded happening, happened as you heard your parents call your name to ask if you were alright.

“I’m uh.. I’m okay mom! The lotion bottle slipped out of my hands!” You called out, letting out a sigh of relief at the somewhat decent lie you shit out of your mouth.

You simply heard your mom chuckle and warn you to be careful, that’s one problem off your plate. Now you had to deal with the next bigger problem that was sitting on your floor with a lopsided grin.

“Wow what a mess Y/n, you didn’t clean up for me?” Kuroo taunted while lifting up a small fragment of a dust bunny from your carpet.

All you could do was deadpan at him, his use of sarcasm to mock your perfectly neat room not helping the fact that he literally broke into your room.

“Stop avoiding the question you weirdo! Why the hell did you just climb through my window?” You loudly whispered, hands on your hips expectantly awaiting an answer.

Kuroo raised a brow to you, as if confused as to why you were so angry he broke into your house.

“Easy doll, to pick up where we left off.” Kuroo said with his signature grin, he was quick to pick himself off the floor and walk over to you with confidence. 

But unlucky for him, you were quick to shut it down as you placed your hand on his chest stopping him in his tracks.

“Pick up where we left off?” You hissed out with narrowed eyes, “I hope you’re not insinuating when I confessed my feelings for you in front of the entire volleyball team before your tournament and you said ‘not now’ before walking away from me.”

You were amazed at how Kuroo’s expression changed. Had it really not dawned on him that his response was a dick move? Like a child his shoulders hunched down and he began to shuffle his feet.

“That uh.. that wasn’t what I meant Y/n-” Kuroo began but you cut him off by walking past him, your shoulder smacking against the side of his arm as you moved back to your vanity.

“Oh yeah? Then what did you mean?”

Kuroo simply stared at you as you placed your scrunchy in your mouth and began to run your fingers through your hair, how perfect you were.

And how stupid he was.

The entire tournament he was in the best mood of his life, his crush of a year now confessed as if to wish him good luck, what else could he want? All he could think about was how he couldn’t wait to come home to see you waiting for him, ready to hold you in his arms and start the beginning of your new relationship.

And yet when the bus arrived back at school after the long week of games, you were nowhere in sight. In fact you seemed to avoid him in school even. It never even occurred in his mind that you were angry with him.

“It’s just I’ve liked you for so long Y/n!” Kuroo started, his lip jutting out in annoyance when he saw you roll your eyes and huff, “If I had said anything to you then I just would’ve been distracted the entire tournament, I had to keep a level head for my team!”

Raising an eyebrow your mouth dropped in just pure confusion. He really was an idiot.

“So you embarrassed my ass in front of your entire team, just so you wouldn’t lose focus?” You growled, whipping your head back to face him while ignoring the hair that smacked your face, “You had me thinking you weren’t interested at all for an entire week, and you couldn’t even spare me a single text?”

All Kuroo could do was blink. He hated being wrong, but you were right.

But of course he would never admit that.

“Well I was hoping you would be waiting for me after the tournament so we could talk about it but you weren’t even there!” Kuroo shot back with narrowed eyes, the accusation causing you to chuckle dryly.

“So let me get this straight,” You said with a crazed grin as you folded your arms, “You expected me not to be hurt by your dry heartless response, not to be offended that you not once tried to explain yourself over text, and then even after all of that, you wanted me to wait for you at the school when you got back like you were some prince that returned from battle?!”

The boy’s face before you was blank, you were hoping the gears in his head were just spinning so he would answer this correctly. The man had a perfect GPA and was the captain of a freaking team, he couldn’t be this dense.

“Well.. yeah?”

Your eyes squinted as your eyebrows furrowed, the amount of stupidity coming from the boy had you at your limit.

“Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous.. I can’t believe I ever thought this would work.” You hissed while storming up to him pointing an accusing finger towards his chest, “I’ve never met someone as selfish and dense as you! Get out of my room you jerk.”

Kuroo watched your outbreak with annoyed eyes. Okay.. maybe he could’ve handled this better, but he honestly didn’t think you would get this mad. 

In all honesty, you were pretty cute when your cheeks got all red and puffed out from being flustered, but the fact that he was the cause ruined it all.

“Come on Y/n, we both know you don’t mean that.”

You didn’t mean it, but like hell were you going to let this jerk just get what he wanted.

“Oh you better believe I meant every wor-”

“Y/n?”

The sound of your best friend’s voice caused your eyes to widen. You glanced up to see Kuroo’s golden eyes widen as well.

“Quick get in the closet!” You whispered as you grabbed his wrist and dragged him over to the door across from your room.

Kuroo stumbled after your quick pace before stopping at the entrance of your closet, his eyebrows furrowing as he looked down to you.

“I don’t wanna be shoved in your tiny closet, I'm like six feet tall!”

Narrowing your eyes you pressed your hands against your chest and shoved him in, “Too bad!”

You grit your teeth at the sound of him dramatically sighing when you slammed the door in his face, his next words causing your eye to twitch slowly.

“I’m gonna look through all your underwear doll.”

Clenching your fists you banged your hand against the door to shut him up, just as your friend opened the door to your room to see you suspiciously guarding your closet door.

“What’s with that weird stance Y/n?” Your friend said with a raised brow, her eyes glancing across the room before her eyes widened, “Do you have a boy in here?”

Your mouth opened wide, not sure what lie you could even come up with to trick your friend. Curse her for always being able to read you like a book.

Before you could even respond your friend chuckled and shook her head, “I’m sorry I just heard what I said, there’s no way you would have a boy in here after you spent your entire weekend depressed over Kuroo Tetsurō.”

The sound of the boy’s name being said caused Kuroo to perk up from your closet, pressing his ear close to the door to listen in.

Pinching your lips together you forced out a laugh, waving your palm as you tried to cross your arms as nonchalantly as possible.

“Pfft what? I wasn’t depressed?”

Your friend simply laughed at your strange behavior, bouncing on top of the edge of your bed as she pulled her phone out.

“Are you serious? You don’t remember how broken hearted you were this weekend? I have the voice audios to prove it if you don’t remember.”

Your eyes widened as you saw your friend scrolling through the messages of your group chat, quickly you lunged forward and snatched her phone away.

“No need for that I remember!” You said quickly before rolling your eyes, “I just wouldn’t say I was broken hearted, that’s a bit extreme.”

Your friend looked at you with a confused expression, you already knew what was about to come. Why couldn’t the lord just take you out of your misery?

“Um... you cried all weekend,” Your friend exclaimed as she stood up from your bed and started pacing around, “You were all like: he’s rude but he’s hot and he has such beautiful hair and I’ll never find another guy like him!”

Your lips formed into an annoyed pout, as you were sure Kuroo was soaking all of this up like a sponge from inside the closet. Like he needed anything else added to his ego.

Sure enough a loud chuckle was heard from the other side of your closet door, causing you to kick your foot against the door to hopefully startle him and shut him up. 

“I think you’re exaggerating a little bit..” You said through gritted teeth, hoping this would just end the conversation for good.

Your friend simply looked at you with unimpressed eyes as she blinked incredulously at your attitude of denial.

“Honey you photoshopped what your kids would look like...”

That was the final straw, you closed your eyes in pure pain as you watched your dignity float away into an abyss. So much for showing Kuroo no mercy and moving on.

“You’re clearly head over heels for that guy-” Your friend kept going until you opened the door of your closet, your friend seeing a smirking Kuroo Tetsurō inside as he leaned against the door frame with a cocky posture, his arms folded.

“Kuroo?!” Your friend exclaimed in shock as he began to walk out of the closet with a shit eating grin plastered across his stupid lips.

“Our kids huh?.” Kuroo purred as he looked down at your annoyed expression, “Do they have names?”

The sight of that overly confident jerk towering over you with smugness literally radiating off him made your blood boil, and ironically not because he had the upper hand, but because deep down you weren’t even really mad at him.

“For the record, it was only one kid!” You said in a matter-of-fact tone until you realized Kuroo and your friend both shared the same unimpressed face causing you to puff your lip out and sigh, “And I’m now realizing that doesn’t make me seem any less pathetic.”

Kuroo and your friend both nodded in agreement, but she was quick to jump back to the bigger matter on hand.

“Y/n, what is Kuroo doing in your room?”

Running your palm down your face you opened your mouth to explain yourself but the tall boy next to you beat you to it.

“I snuck through her window to apologize for being a dick.” Kuroo said bluntly, your friend’s expression melting as a dragged out “awe” escaped her lips.

“How romantic! Y/n did you hear that? He’s such a sweetheart.”

Your mouth dropped in confusion as you glared up to his smug expression before looking back to him.

“You know what? I’ll leave you two alone! It seems like you have some unfinished business to attend to.” Your friend said with a wink as she quickly darted out of your room.

Your attempt to stop her was cut off by the sound of your door slamming once more, leaving you and Kuroo alone in your room once again.

Folding your arms you let out a sigh before looking up to Kuroo, the situation was just exhausting at this point.

“Look, as much as it didn’t seem like it... I did come here to apologize.”

"Yeah? By trying to make a move on me?” You huffed with a raised eyebrow.

Kuroo’s brow twitched at your cold reply, sometimes you really could be such a brat.

“Well I was hoping if I got you in a good mood it would be easier for you to forgive me.”

Your face simply remained unimpressed, Kuroo mentally facepalmed as his stupid reply.

“You know what, I didn’t need to say that!” Kuroo said quickly before you shut him down again. Letting out a sigh he looked down at you with a rare serious expression, “Y/n, I’m sorry for ditching you in front of everyone and putting my own needs before your feelings. I was selfish and you deserved better.”

For once your hardened expression loosened, your eyes softening as you blinked up to him. 

Progress...

“And I’m hoping maybe you’ll let me prove I can give you better... by becoming my girlfriend?”

Honestly Kuroo wasn’t a fan of having to seem so vulnerable in front of you, but after the entire line of events that just happened he would be an idiot not to apologize.

As confused as he was at first, he knew he was in the wrong. Captain or not, he had no right to toy with your feelings, especially since he liked you back.

Ever since you decided to be the team manager he’s fallen in love with your charismatic personality, he wasn’t about to give up the girl of his dreams because of his fragile ego.

The sight of the corners of your lips curling into a sly grin had his heart doing a backflip.

“Perhaps if said boyfriend took me out for a nice date tonight, I’ll think about it.”

The only thing Kuroo heard out of that was yes. His eyes widened as he gave you a warm kiss before darting towards your open bedroom window.

“You won’t regret this Y/n! I’ll be back at six to pick you up.”

You couldn’t help but giggle as he once again ungracefully made his way out the window, leaning over the edge you raised a brow down to him.

“You know I have a front door right?”

Kuroo simply grinned up at you as his feet dangled over your patio, “No time, I gotta get ready to pick my girl up pronto.”

His words had your cheeks warming up, you couldn’t even help the smile that flashed across your lips, but lucky for you Kuroo missed it as he fell into the bushes beneath your window.

What were you going to do with this dork?

3x16 That intro with Freya’s baritone whisper for the prophecy and the over the top drama way of saying it is so tedious after a while. But at least Elijah is on the piano which actually is a much better intro.

No they did NOT! Mother trucker? I don’t swear often but FUCK OFF! Just FUCK THE HELL OFF! For good and good fucking riddance! And there are actually people debating if this show actually belongs to the trash can?

And I don’t get it. Klaus in the last episode was like I don’t run I disappear. I was a legend. I was a shadow for decades. And now he needs Hayley to order him around and teach him how to go undercover with peasant hats? A fucking insult to an once upon a time great character. That’s what it is. And yes that fucker Klaus in TO was never like Klaus in TVD but everything should have just a line that should be crossed. Fuck this noise! I just. FUCK!

All that onslaught of Cami and Klamille and then they go for Klayley and I actually believed for a hot second there that after the mess Klamille and Camille were in this season I would be able to tolerate Klayley a bit better because how much worse it can get. Well joke’s on me! PT and JM together are so cringe too which does not help. Add the hat! Man the hat! And well FUCK!

And the free pass Hayley gave Klaus after him cursing her after their bullshit custody battle and their fake empowering drivel in their dialogue and narrative is beyond me. That show is an insult to women. And I don’t get it. It is mostly women that watch. They really have no grasp of what their audience is all about.

Lucien and Freya are so cute! I could actually ship it! Like hardcore! If the actress was a little bit better and Freya was not a deus ex machine character and a fake original meant to replace Rebekah and have the writers say here we gave you the Original family. Not the one you wanted. The discount one but stop complaining. Yeah not gonna fly. No.

But at least the actor that plays Finn is pure hotness. And in any other show I would have waited at the edge of my seat for a Sage reference but here I just expect more OOC but at least Finn is an eye candy.

From never underestimate the allure of darkness we get to the never underestimate the allure of indoor plumbing. Yeah that is what TO is compared to the Originals in TVD. I don’t get those cheap shots against Klaroline though. I am not that old in the KC fandom to know exactly what has happened aside from a few things I read in twitter but watching TO and seeing that disposition in the actual writing is so jarring and makes no sense. –

-And maybe if the show was better or at least decent I would be able to pay no attention but here in this mess why even bother with such petty crap instead of focusing on the hack writing and the way the show is suffering? I don’t understand. Those jokes are not funny when they are demolishing Klaus’ character in ways that can’t be fixed and it is not a damn ship thing. It is through and through the damage on his character.

Oh Hayley the fake good Samaritan. If only I didn’t remember the half breed backstabbing piece of shit she's always been & I use that particular phrase bc she actually had the audacity to call Tyler that. And somehow I am meant to root for her and her Cabo crap? Maybe if the show didn’t try to give her the worst portrayal of an asshole hypocrite masking it as a perfect badass snowflake mother Teresa trope I could have. PT’s acting skills aside Hayley’s character really has hit rock bottom for me

Vampires in the internet. Sure that makes sense. The fuck with this show. However I have to give it to them for this year. The introduction of the vampires are on point. Unfortunately they let all that potential go to waste but they managed to give some great vampires this year. Aurora, Lucien, Aya, Cortez, that blond chick now. It is a pity that they don’t take advantage of them and they persist with the likes of Cami and Hayley.

Finn’s stories about how Kol corrupted and kill women. Those were the days! We couldn’t we have that? Why are we stuck with the Mary Sue vampire mess Kol despised in TVD and would never become? He was better off dead. And on another note I get Kol’s anger towards Finn. What I don’t get is how Elena and Jeremy aren't included in his revenge lash out. They're ruining him! With the blood bags and crying for Davina and wanting to be good and all that mushy out of character nonsense. Fuck that noise!

The scene with Finn not wanting to burn the white oak is one of the few truly good scenes I have seen in the show and very on character for Finn. The Finn that was introduced in TVD. Those glimpses of greatness show me what the show could truly be and I just get so sad because of it.

But I don’t get why Elijah wouldn’t burn the white oak in any case. With the prophecy looming and all their enemies it truly is the most idiot thing to do. And after the mess with the seraturra Elijah gives the white to oak to Freya. Like come on. That’s like handing it to their enemies. These people have survived this long only by pure luck. Nothing else.

LOL. Of course it is Lucien that’s the evil villain mastermind behind the scenes. Great characters do that. I knew I liked him for a reason! And the fear he inspires by those that call him ‘him’. And plotting and scheming and being a true vampire and relishing at being one and being in his element. That is what Klaus should have been. That is what Klaus WAS in TVD. And now. Sigh. At Lucien is there to fill the shoes that desperately need filling.

MOTHER TRUCKER. MOTHER TRUCKER. I do not know one person who didn’t lose their mind over the stupidity that is mother trucker. And yes, KH and Joseph and Phoebe are a freaking nightmare, the writers keep them apart so long that it’s easy to forget but then the minute they have to interact it is so painfully cringe. The writers are 10x more concerned with dragging KC and the actual Originals at every opportunity than they are with the abysmal writing though. And yes, TO seems to be absolutely on point when it comes to introducing an idea that actually sounds totally awesome and then never ever mentioning that idea again.

Since about mid-2019, adult contemporary romance has been the genre I’ve been craving the most. I absolutely fly through most books in this genre, yet I find myself unsuccessfully attempting to take my time reading them because I want to enjoy them as long as possible. Everyone knows I love binge-reading series, but I’ve been trying not to binge-read the books in the series so I know I always have a book to look forward to.

Since I’ve been practically adding more contemporary romances to my TBR whenever I’m scrolling through Goodreads, today I’ll be sharing which adult & new adult contemporary romances I plan on reading (hopefully soon). I’ve divided this TBR by released books and 2020 releases still to come.

Well Met by Jen DeLuca – I’ve decided that on my next bookstore trip (or whenever I get a Barnes & Noble coupon) I’ll be buying Jen DeLuca. I’ve heard so many great things about this ren-faire inspired romance from many contemporary-loving bloggers. There will be also be two more books set in the Well Met world, Well Played (September 29) and Well Matched (2021).

Not the Girl You Marry by Andie J. Christopher – Not the Girl You Marry has received some mixed reviews, but I read its synopsis while strolling through the romance section in the bookstore and still added it to my TBR. I haven’t read a book set in the city in a while, and I love how the female protagonist, Hannah, is an event planner.

Roomies by Christina Lauren – I could probably dedicate a whole TBR to Christina Lauren books (actually, that’s not a bad future post idea…). Roomies received a ton of love and attention when it first came out in 2017, and I think it’s time for me to see what the hype is about.

Heidi’s Guide to Four Letter Words by Tara Sivec & Andi Arndt – What the main character does in Heidi’s Guide to Four Letter Words honestly sounds like something I would do. After being fired from her job as a kindergarten teacher, Heidi starts a podcast reading the steamy scenes from romance novels and finds way more success than she could have imagined.

Undercover Bromance (The Bromance Book Club #2) by Lyssa Kay Adams – Undercover Bromance is a prime example of a book I want to have my hands on NOW, but also want to save because I love The Bromance Book Club world so much. This installment seems to mix in the sports world from the first book with cooking/restaurant life.

Wild at Heart (The Simple Wild #2) by K.A. Tucker – I think K.A. Tucker’s The Simple Wild series more so falls into new adult than adult contemporary romance. I really loved The Simple Wild last year, a romance taking place in Alaska as Calla decides to get to know her estranged father better. I was pleasantly surprised when a sequel was announced. I’m hoping my library will add this one to their collection, if not, I think the e-book will soon be in my future.

The Play (Briar U #3) by Elle Kennedy – The Play is currently the last installment in the Briar U series, the spin-off to Elle Kennedy’s Off Campus series. I say ‘currently’ in hopes that Elle Kennedy will write more Briar U books! Without being too spoilerly, The Play follows one of the most complicated male perspectives in the Off Campus/Briar U world and a new female perspective, Demi.

Beautiful Bastard by Christina Lauren – I swear walking through the romance section at the bookstore changes you. I’ve seen Christina Lauren’s Beautiful Bastard everywhere, but I never actually looked into what the series was about. I haven’t read too many workplace romances – the only one that comes to mind is Sally Thorne’s The Hating Game. Given how much I enjoy Christina Lauren’s newer releases, I think it’s time I gave this writing duo’s more backlist titles a try.

The Best Worst Man by Mia Sosa – The Best Worst Man speaks to two of my personal interests: marketing and weddings (PSA that everyone needs to watch TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress America). The synopsis, a hate to love romance that begins at a wedding, sort’ve reminds me of Christina Lauren’s The Unhoneymooners, but with its own spin, as a wedding planner and marketing expert must work together on a dream project.

2020 Upcoming Releases:

Grow Up Pose by Sonya Lalli | Release Date: March 24

The Honey Don’t List by Christina Lauren | Release Date: March 24

You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle | Release Date: April 7
