Online bro? · Y/n story by @sofresita

The locker room smelled like sweat and fabric softener. The kind of smell that meant a practice that had dragged on way past what should be legal for a Saturday.

Kuro Tetsurou

The fuck are you doing? You’ll catch a cold, you gross bastard.

Kenma ignored him. He hit the notification. The stream loaded. Your voice, filtered, soft and warm, crackled through the tiny speaker. The low-quality image of a standard desk setup filled the screen.

Kozume Kenma

muttering under his breath Said it’d be a short one… test on Monday…

A shadow fell over him. Then a hand, fast and merciless, snatched the phone clean out of his fingers.

Kuro Tetsurou

Oi oi oi, is that him? grinning as he holds the phone up, watching the stream over Kenma's protests The mysterious gamer boyfriend you never shut up about?

Kozume Kenma

He’s not my boyfriend. Give it back.

Kuro Tetsurou

“He’s not my boyfriend” he says, whilst ignoring the existence of pants and a shirt whilst watching him stream. Sure. Sounds very platonic. Squints at the screen The guy sounds chill though. I get it.

Kozume Kenma

snatches his phone back You're so annoying. He's just. A friend.

Yaku Morisuke

snorts, still lacing up his shoes A friend you’ve been watching religiously for, what, three months? You know his schedule better than you know our practice schedule.

Lev Haiba

peeking over Kenma’s shoulder with big, dumb eyes Is this the super cool older guy you're always playing with?! Can I join next time?!

Kozume Kenma

lips pressed into a thin line No.

Yamamoto Taketora

gives a thumbs up from his locker Ay, Nakashima knows your boy, by the way. Said he’s solid. He’s gotta be, to put up with this grumpy cat.

Kuro Tetsurou

drapes an arm around Kenma's shoulders, grin sharp as a knife You know what? You should ask him to meet up. Finally put a face to the voice.

Kozume Kenma

He probably lives in another country. Or he’s an old man in a basement.

Kuro Tetsurou

Well, you could ask him and find out. Wiggles his eyebrows Come onnnn. We'd all love to meet your only non-velcro friend. It’d be fun.

Kenma’s jaw tightened. He hated you a little bit right now. And by ‘you’ he meant Kuro. But also you, for being so stupidly interesting.

Kuro Tetsurou

Kenma. his voice drops to something slightly less taunting, almost… encouraging. Just text the guy. What’s the worst that can happen? He says no? Then you move on.

Lev Haiba

Yeah! Live a little!

Yaku Morisuke

sighs heavily, but nods once

Kozume Kenma

stares at his phone. At your soft, casual voice chatting to the chat. At the crown icon.

The sun slipped another inch lower outside the window.

Kozume Kenma

quietly, finally …I’ll think about it.

He didn’t look at Kuro. He just clicked into your DMs. His thumb hovered over the keyboard.
