I really need new friends. If you want to be my friend you should comment here and we can talk on instagram or something.

Kenma types unenthusiastically on his keyboard. His work is particularly boring and he would rather be doing almost anything. He sighs and takes a sip of coffee. This article is one of the worst he has read all week. Somehow he managed to land a job as an editor of the most boring news articles of all time.

Suddenly, something lands on his keyboard. A little origami cat lays sideways across the keys. Kenma looks towards the direction it came from, but all he sees is the wall of his cubicle. He picks up the folded paper gingerly and sees some scrawled handwriting on it. It reads, "Can I get your number? –The Cubicle to your Left." Kenma raises an eyebrow at the paper. He is relatively new to this job, so he doesn't really know his coworkers that well. He doesn't even know the gender of the person in the cubicle to his left.

Kenma suspects that the person is probably waiting for answer so he couldn't risk peeking over the cubicle wall to look at them. He isn't even tall enough so it doesn't really matter. Anyway, Kenma has work he needs to do so he just sets the little origami cat next to his keyboard and continues to type.

About 20 minutes later, an origami swan comes sailing over the wall. This time it states, "How long does it take to write down a number or a no?" Kenma sighs. He takes a piece of paper and writes, "Are you actually working or just doing origami?" on it. Since he doesn't know how to do origami, he just balls up the paper and tosses it back to the other person. He hears a small yelp of surprise, and then a small sigh of disappointment. Kenma tries to keep working, but keeps looking to his left, searching for another paper to land on his desk. Soon enough, another tumbles onto his workplace.

"Origami is work. But can I get an answer?" Kenma smiles a little at the paper. This time it is a dog. This person must be pretty good to be able to make these so quickly. Kenma scribbles down a question about who this person is and throws the balled up paper over the wall. Now his concentration has just completely flown out the window. He hasn't gotten anything done in the past 10 minutes. The next message just comes up all balled up like Kenma's. He unfolds the paper making sure not to rip it. He finds a page of description about the person next door. A little picture is even printed on the paper. Kenma wonders if this guy literally printed out a picture of himself just for this.

His name is Kuroo Tetsurou. He is one year older than Kenma and is almost eight inches taller. He's hot, Kenma observes. There is some other random stuff that Kenma doesn't really know why he would need to know. Kenma smiles a little. He doesn't know if he should really date a coworker, but this place seems pretty chill and you don't really have to talk to anyone that much. He writes down his number and throws it over to Kuroo.

Kenma then hears an enthusiastic yell and the noise of Kuroo trying to get out of his chair but knocking something over as he does so. Kenma turns around to see Kuroo fast walking across the gigantic room. Later he hears two people enthusiastically yelling and assumes that it's Kuroo and one of his friends. Kenma turns back to try to get work done, but he doesn't actually do much for the rest of the day.

~~~~~~~~~~

Kenma is hanging out at his apartment watching TV when he gets a call. He answers and is presented with Kuroo's voice on the other side.

"Hey! Kenma!"

"How do you even know who I am?"

"Um, Bokuto told me." Kenma furrows his eyebrows in confusion.

"Who is Bokuto?" he says in response.

"Uh, Akaashi's boyfriend? Aren't you and Akaashi friends?"

"Ohh. I didn't know that was Akaashi's boyfriend's name. I've never met him. But why did Akaashi tell Bokuto who then told you?" Kenma is very confused. He and Akaashi hang out, but they aren't like best friends or anything.

"Bokuto was trying to set me up with someone, and Akaashi mentioned you once and then Bokuto forced Akaashi to tell him everything he knew about you and then Bokuto told me all of that. Akaashi also sent me a picture of you," Kuroo responds. Kenma is still trying to wrap his head around the fact that one of his few friends has a boyfriend who works where he does and is friends with one of his work neighbors.

"And what you got from Akaashi convinced you to ask me for my number?"

"Yeah! You seem like a pretty cool guy, and you're cute. You're not straight, are you?" Kenma blushes.

"No, I'm not."

"That's good! We should totally go on a date or something," Kuroo says excitedly. Kenma laughs a little and shakes his head.

"But I barely know you! And we're coworkers," Kenma reasons.

"Oh whatever. I promise I won't kidnap or kill you. And who cares if we are coworkers?" Kenma sighs. This guy doesn't seem to care about rules or common sense.

"Give me three good reasons."

"Okay, number one, I would be a great boyfriend who would always cuddle you and make dinner and be generally awesome. Number two, you, me, Bokuto, and Akaashi could all go on double dates. Number three, even if the date doesn't go well at least you'll get free food because I'm paying." Those were three fairly convincing reasons, especially the last one.

"Okay fine. What do you want to do and when?" Kenma asks.

"Wow, you sound enthusiastic."

"I'm sorry! I've never been one to start screaming whenever anything happens."

"Okay, well I was thinking we could go to the aquarium and then out to dinner somewhere. So, I can pick you up at around 3:30 on Saturday. Does that work?" Kuroo asks. This is the first time on the whole phone call that he has sounded the slightest bit nervous.

"Yeah, that sounds good." It was Wednesday, so Kenma only had to suffer through two more days of work. They hung up after Kenma gave Kuroo his address. Kenma smiled to himself. Maybe this date would actually be fun. Kuroo seemed like a good guy.

~~~~~~~~~

Kenma sits in his squeaky office chair. He silently groans and leans his head back. This is possibly the most boring work ever. Kenma gets up to walk around a little. Maybe that will help him concentrate.

Kenma wanders over to the kitchen. He needs more coffee. Coffee all day would be great, but apparently that's not good for your health. Kenma looks up when he hears talking. His eyes are met with two very tall males. One of them is Kuroo and the other he presumes is Bokuto. Kenma looks to the floor as a blush forms on his face and Kuroo and Bokuto pause their conversation. Kuroo looks a lot taller when Kenma is right in front of him.

When Kenma looks up again it looks as if Bokuto is trying not to hold in a laugh and Kuroo is trying to drink his coffee casually but failing epically. Kenma quickly strolls over to the coffee machine and everyone watches as the coffee comes out painfully slowly.

On his way out, Kenma feels a hand on his shoulder and tenses up.

"I'll see you on Saturday," Kuroo says in a low voice, very near to Kenma's ear. Kenma manages a weak nod then scampers out of the room. He faintly hears Bokuto telling Kuroo that he scared Kenma.

Kenma reaches his desk and sighs. That was the most stressful thing he has been through in the past month. After working for about an hour longer and completing his work for the day, he decides to go home. He could use some relaxing.

~~~~~~~~~

"Akaashi, this is all your fault." Kenma lies on his bed with the phone pressed up against his ear.

"Well, Bokuto asked me so I told him."

"But still! Okay, I haven't gone on a date in forever, what do I do?" Kenma asks.

"Be yourself!"

"You're a piece of shit."

"I know."

~~~~~~~~~

Kenma nervously waits near his door. It's 3:29. There is a small feeling of dread in his stomach? What if he does something wrong? What if he says something stupid? Oh, this was a mistake. He should have just said no. Oh god, he is freaking out.

Kenma looks out his window and sees Kuroo get out of a car that pulls up. He quickly runs out the door and down the stairs. He emerges from the apartment's entrance panting.

"Oh! I was just about to text you," Kuroo says happily. Kenma can feel his heartbeat in his ears. Kuroo smiles at Kenma and opens the car door for him. Kenma steps in cautiously.

The ride to the aquarium was fairly quiet. Both of them felt kind of awkward so Kuroo just concentrated on driving and Kenma stared out the window. Once they arrived at their destination, they walked up to the entrance.

"I can pay for my own ticket," Kenma said when he saw Kuroo counting out moey for the both of them.

"No, I said I would pay, didn't I?"

"But that was just about food."

"Well, you're getting a free trip to the aquarium, too. Have you been here before?" Kuroo says stubbornly.

"Um, no."

"Well, I hope you like fish because there are a lot here. Really, its no problem for me to pay, okay?" Kuroo says as Kenma reaches for his wallet. "You can't stop me."

"Fine." Kenma sighed a little. This date was extremely awkward. Hopefully it'll get better. They walk into the first darkened room of the aquarium. Fish tanks surround them. Kuroo walks over to one and points at one of the fish.

"Did you know that this particular type of fish is actually known to have human-like thoughts and is able to communicate with other species?" he says matter of factly.

"Is that true?" Kenma asks, skeptical.

"Pfft, no." Kuroo laughs and so does Kenma. They continue to walk around, all the while Kuroo spouting questionable facts about each species of fish.

"Oh! I have one that is actually true! This fish can actually live out of water for three days!" Kuroo points to one called the Snakefish. ((Guys I actually looked up fish facts I'm such a loser)) Soon Kuroo is saying random facts and is trying to get Kenma to guess which ones are true or not.

"Okay, Kuroo. There is no way that Anglerfish fuse bodies when they do it," Kenma says, smiling. He is actually having fun.

"Wrong! When they mate they melt into each other and share bodies forever!"

"You're such a nerd," Kenma says, laughing.

"Oh my god, here's a really sad fish. Okay, this is true, so these fish stay with their partners, and if one of the pair is caught, the other one stays in the same area waiting for them to come back. It's horrible!" Kuroo looks sadly at the fish.

"Wow really? Only if humans were that dedicated..." Kuroo looks at Kenma with a small smile on his face.

"Aw, Kenma! I wait for you forever!"

"What? This is our first date, you idiot!" Kuroo laughs.

"Oh, so you think I go around telling just anyone all these fish's secrets?" Kenma stares at him.

"They aren't secrets, they're scientific facts."

"Same thing." Kuroo waves his hand dismissively. Kenma just shakes his head and laughs. Kenma inches closer to Kuroo and grabs his hand. Kuroo smiles at the smaller boy. They stroll through the rest of the aquarium. Kuroo has stopped spouting alternative facts ((cough cough America is dying send help)) about the fish and they're now just talking about random stuff. Kenma learns that Kuroo really loves to bake. He doesn't really seem like a baking guy.

They reach the end of the aquarium 15 minutes before 6.

"Did you like it?" Kuroo asks.

"Yeah," Kenma responds. "Your descriptions of the fish were wonderful." Kuroo laughs.

"I know, right? Okay, well I'm starving, so, dinner?"

"Yeah, but there's one thing before we go." Kuroo starts to respond, but Kenma cuts him off with a small kiss on his lips. They both smile at each other. "Now we can go."

Holy moly that was bad I'm sorry. I was having a crisis about Oikawa like the entire time I was writing this so please forgive me. My mind has been so blank recently, my last two stories were from a prompt because I couldn't think of anything else. Well, thanks fro reading. I'd love suggestions! :)
