so how about a kuroken enemies to lovers dynamic where kuroo is the # 1 bokuaka supporter while kenma has serious reservations about someone so wild and loud be with someone as perfect and serene as akaashi

ok before you come at me this is basically romcom slash sitcom setting lol kuroo and kenma following bokuaka on their every date with kenma doing his utmost best to sabotage it while kuroo doing damage control to make sure everything runs smoothly

getting to know each other stage, bokuaka decides to go to a popular cafe near uni that's been creating a buzz it's recommended to book a reservation than simply walk-in. akaashi suggests they reserve beforehand but bokuto insists it will be fine, they'll go super early

kenma overhears this, and as a rising socmed star, posts pictures of the cafe in his ig and invites everyone to check it out the coming weekend aka bokuaka's date, warning them to reserve beforehand.

on the day of the date, kenma's hiding from a corner a few blocks away from the cafe waiting for bokuaka to get refused from entering due to full capacity but then when he saw then going in, he perks up ready to check what's going on when he hears the guy before him talking

"bro, what would you do without me? tell them the table is under the name kuroo. tell akaashi i said hi." kenma turns to the rooster head lanky guy that goes by the name kuroo who ruins his plans. he forgets bokuto might also have friends who reserve tables for him. an oversight!

the second time kenma meets kuroo, it's when bokuaka thinks it's a great idea to go on a picnic after midterms. kenma is behind a tree ready to set free a swarm of bees from a beehive he brought in a tightly enclosed box if ever bokuto tries something funny to akaashi

then he caught sight of familiar spiky hair hiding behind a bush who also brought a box with him and just when bokuto starts blowing bubbles to akaashi's suprise and delight, kuroo guy opens the box and viola!!! brightly colored butterflies joins the bubbles up in the air

butterflies dancing around bubbles is such a pretty sight, kenma admits, and while he regrets carrying such a heavy wooden box with him, he supposes it's alright as long as akaashi is happy. but he swears he'll get bokuto next time and hopefully, kuroo too

on bokuaka's third date in the movies, kenma knows he couldnt do much but make sure the two wont sit together. fortunately for kenma, the pair decide to watch a highly anticipated horror movie and when kenma checks the available sitting, he sees only two rows in the middle -

having three vacant seats and other two vacant seats respectively. kenma has no qualms on blowing money for the sake of protecting your friend from being taken advantage of in a dark enclosed space, so he plans to buy the middle seat from the three vacant seats

and one seat from the two vacant seats on the other row. kenma's just about to finish his purchase when a guy from behind him says, "ah, sorry we're friends and i came in late can you please make us sit next to each other!"

"what are you doing?"
"going to watch a movie with you?"
"i dont even know you?"
"oya oya oya, i believe we've met a couple of times before, yeah?"

before kenma can complain, kuroo's getting their tickets and making his way through the cinema.

"you're gonna pay for this."
"looking forward to it!"

so for the entire duration of the movie, kenma sees (well more of hears) bokuto getting closer to akaashi than necessary.

"aaahhh akaashiiii!!! that was so scary ohmygod it's gonna appear again!!! akaashi!!!"
"it's alright bokuto-san"

beside him, kuroo offers kenma popcorn (when did be even buy that?) and just when he's about to refuse for the fourth time, kuroo says, "im really about to empty this bucket, are you sure you don't want some?"

kenma gives kuroo a side glance and without a word, grabs a handful of popcorn to make the annoying man beside him to shut up.

so obviously, kuroo and kenma "accidentally" bump into each other more and more and then at one point they have come to an unspoken truce where they just keep an eye on each other to make sure the other doesn't do anything since they always cancel each other out anyway

so the unexpected pair end up spying on their friends from around the same corner, the same conveniently large newspaper that can cover them both while wearing a ridiculously looking mustache for kuroo and a questionable sunglasses for kenma they call "impeccable" disguise

surprisingly (well, not surprisingly) there comes a day when bokuto and akaashi joins a couples-only activity and in order to tail behind them, kuroo and kenma must register together as a pair.

it's a dance class focusing on pair dances so every week couples will have to learn cha-cha, rumba, foxtrot, tango and waltz. not only does kuroo and kenma have to go through the typical fake dating route, they also have to remain undetected by their friends.

well of course kenma and kuroo dont know the definition of discreet so they were found out swiftly after the first break of learning cha-cha and panic builds up for the both of them bc how are they going to explain it to bokuto and akaashi?

they decide to keep up their act when bokuto says, well, practically shouts "let's go on a double date!!!!"

so bokuaka gets them to do more couple things and they reason they're doing it out of convenience bc then they can keep an eye on things but oh wait

both kuroo and kenma thinks it's kind of fun hanging out with the other? and he's kinda nice? kuroo's starting to accept that kenma's not the little shit he expects him to be and kenma's coming to a realization that kuroo simply wants the best for his friends

kenma laments how if only kuroo doesn't try to /fix/everything then they'll be at least acquiantances by now and kuroo thinks the same, if only kenma doesn't try to /ruin/ bokuto's chances then they'd be out of their own way, doing other things together - wait minute, what???

then one late afternoon, bokuto singlehandedly decides to go to an amusement park because "i want to watch the fireworks with keiji while riding a ferris wheel!!!"

both kuroo and kenma lost them after getting distracted by a cat shaped choco ice cream

they kept on blaming each other until they end up getting on the ferris wheel themselves and that's when it dawns on kenma how he set himself up for a trap because!!! he's afraid of heights!!!!

all kenma could think of is how he's way up in the clouds (yes he's exaggerating) and without at least a support from a friend (kuroo doesn't count) and he prays nothing will go wrong and before he knows it they'll be back on the ground but then

the ferris wheel stops!!!

they're stuck at the peak with kenma shivering and kuroo wants to touch him, to comfort him, but he doesnt know how so he slowly lay his hands on top of kenma's, alarm washing over him when kenma flinches and just when he's moving his hands back in his pockets

kenma reaches for them, swiftly, desperately, and kuroo finds himself holding kenma's hand just a little bit tighter to remind him "hey, dont be scared, im here. im not gonna leave you."

once they're back on the ground kenma declares he'll stop spying on bokuto and akaashi's dates bc they're practically married anyway and kuroo nods, deep in contemplation until he says, "oh cool, what do you say we continue the dance class since we paid for a month's fee anyway?"

kuroo immediately adds they can also have a cup of coffee??? go on a picnic? Or watch a movie after the dance class to...he doesn't know...celebrate the life and love of their friends? kenma smiles, noticing the pattern, and without giving himself away, he agrees.
