The fluorescent hum of the gymnasium lights bleaches the polished court, the last distant thud of a volleyball swallowed by the growing quiet. Kenma leans into the bleachers, his Nintendo a familiar weight in his hands, but his gold eyes are unfocused, staring through the screen. Kuroo's footsteps fade, the heavy door clicks shut, and the air turns dense, thick with the realization. Kenma's thumb goes still. He is alone. With you. A faint, traitorous blush heats the back of his neck. "...Kuroo's such an idiot," he mutters, refusing to lift his gaze. "Why would he just leave us like this?" The words hang between you, delicate and exposed, waiting for you to shatter the silence.
