This is not happening. It absolutely, positively is not happening. How could anyone ever think that he would be the “perfect date” for him? Yaku considers bolting but those golden eyes are too quick and catch sight of him, wearing this stupid red collared shirt so that he would stand out in the crowd.
“Well this is a surprise,” Kuroo purrs–actually fucking purrs.
“Uh huh, remind me to write in a complaint to the developers of that asinine software,” Yaku snaps.
“Morisuke, you wound me! At least we’re matched with someone we have some things in common with!”
“We never agree on anything!”
Kuroo flashes that irritating smirk and it makes Yaku want to smack him. “Look, we’re already here, why don’t we just… hang out? We don’t even have to call it a date if you want.”
Yaku is about to tell Kuroo to shove it when he catches just the faintest hint of…worry? Well, they are both new to town, and it’s kind of lonely when you’ve left everything and everyone you’ve known for years behind.
“Fine, but no funny business!”
Kuroo snorts, “Yeah, like that’s gonna happen.”
And so they “hang out”, going to a movie (it takes them nearly an hour to decide which one) and get food (they end up flipping a coin because they can’t reach a mutual decision).
But despite all that, Yaku has to admit at the end of the evening that he’s had a good time. Despite all his maddening annoyances, Kuroo is actually a good date… non-date… whatever. And Yaku finds he doesn’t mind so much that they don’t see eye to eye on everything (anything) because even if he doesn’t agree with Kuroo, the man’s at least intelligent enough to present a convincing argument.
And then Kuroo breaks his ability to think when he says, “Morisuke… if I kissed you right now, what would you do?”
Yaku whips his head up, stopping dead in his tracks and stares at him. But he’s not teasing. He’s completely and utterly serious.
He blurts out a firm “why” and gets the satisfaction of seeing Kuroo ‘Thinks he’s so cool but is really a dork’ Tetsurou blush.
“Wha… No fair! Answering a question with a question!” he whines.
Yaku smirks, rising up on his toes (damn the man for being so tall) and whispers, “Ask me out on a proper date… then we’ll see.” He walks away, leaving a spluttering, cursing Kuroo behind him.
He doesn’t make it home before his phone is ringing, Kuroo’s stupid, handsome face illuminating his screen.
