💬 kuroppiii ─ “ not proofread !!! the voices were telling me to just pump this out bc he consumes all my thoughts and neurons in my brain !!! ”
melting into the plush blanket under you, your head rests in the area between kuroo’s shoulder and his chest. it’s dark outside, probably close to midnight—even the street lamps lining the bridge in your peripherals have gone to sleep.
the blades of grass are soft as they graze the exposed skin of your ankle. you bask in the mixed lullaby of the river—only a few paces away from your two pairs of feet, bubbling and trickling by—and the rise and fall of your boyfriend’s chest as his breath sounds steady under your ear.
tiny, fleeting blinks of warm light appear then disappear from your vision. they pop up randomly in your surroundings—unpredictable, teasing, and playful. the fireflies dance along the skirt of the creek, as you and kuroo lay comfortably in each other’s arms.
“i used to love catching fireflies when i was little” kuroo’s voice speaks up, deep and uneven from being unused in the still night, “do you know what chemicals are involved when a firefly lights up?”
“no... what are they?” your voice contains a tiny lace of tiredness, like it’s on the verge of a yawn. you already know what you’re getting into. but a small part of you still gets excited to hear whatever spiel that’s about to come out of kuroo’s mouth.
“well, first they have oxygen in them, and this thing called luciferin. that’s a common chemical that makes things glow on nature...” as you still stare at the water and the fireflies lingering above your heads, you can feel him playing with your fingers gently.
“and then there’s an enzyme, luciferase. sounds luciferin, right? that’s because it’s the reaction’s catalyst,” you readjust your head on the fabric of his thick hoodie, and above you he tucks your head under his chin, “it’s luciferase’s other half, in a way.”
“then they all come together to make oxyluciferin and energy—that’s what emits the light from the firefly’s body,” you watch as his sneakers start to innocently move around, side-to-side down at the edge of your blanket.
“and yeah, that's about it,” kuroo attempts to reach his arm out and catch one of the fireflies in his grasp. he fails, so his hand returns to tangle with yours on his torso.
“why don't they blow up?” you mumble, breathing in his scent.
his chest rumbles in a chuckle under you, “excuse me?”
“don't chemical reactions cause things to blow up sometimes?”
“not all the time,” the arm wrapped around your side pulls you in closer briefly.
“aww,” you feign in monotone disappointment.
“you want innocent fireflies to blow up?”
“no...” not when he words it like that. you pause, considering if expressing the next thought that comes to your head was necessary. you end up whispering, “if they did they wouldn’t look so pretty tonight.”
without missing a beat, your boyfriend whispers back, “not as pretty as you.”
“i wish you would blow up.”
he bends down to plant something between a grin and a kiss on your cheek.
I have the biggest crush on Henry
