Kenma's POV

At first I didn't have a clue as to where Kuroo was taking me, however, soon enough I saw the rink come into view and I figured it was only fitting that he'd take me there. I mean that's where we first met, it makes sense that we'd spend our last day together there as well.

"Kuroo I don't have my skates." I pointed out as he reached out to open the door of the rink. It was packed slightly but honestly, for a Friday at least, it was rather quiet.

"It's fine trust me." He pulled me into the ice skating rink, I waved to my aunt as we passed her and headed to the secluded second rink.

"Kuroo the key." The door would probably be locked since I hadn't been here yet today. I was planning to skip today to spend the day with Kuroo, so I didn't unlock the rink.

"It's fine." Now I'm very suspicious, he's got something planned.

"Kuroo what do you..." He slowly pulled the rink door open much to my shock, since I was sure it was locked, the lights were on even though they shouldn't have been.

"Surprise!" I was startled by multiple voices yelling and the sound of something popping. I didn't jump or scream, since I preferred not the show when I was scared, but I did slightly hide behind Kuroo. I was hoping it was unnoticeable but Kuroo's stupid smirk told me otherwise. He pushed me forward so I could see just who had yelled. Surely enough Oikawa, Suga, Iwa, and Daichi all stood staring at me with a smile.

"We wanted to throw you a party." Oikawa explained as I looked around confused. I found the source of the popping sound when I saw the confetti on the floor and the slight smoke coming from the party poppers in everyones hands.

"Why?" No ones every thrown me a party before and I've never been to one. I know people have parties for their birthdays but I never had anyone to spend it with. My aunt and uncle always worked so instead they left me money to get myself a cake, I always spent it on a new game instead, but it's not like I had friends to eat a cake with regardless.

"A going away party." Suga clarified, I'm sure he could tell I was very confused.

"Oh." I don't know how I'm supposed to react.

"You wanna skate?" Kuroo asked me once the initial shock of the situation settled down. I nodded and he pointed towards my bag which was over by the bench I usually sat on. He must've planned this out, I noticed everyone else had skates lying around as well.

Being on the ice with everyone was nice, I'd only done it one other time. It wasn't until I met Kuroo that I knew what it was like to share something I love with friends, what I love being skating. One I never told anyone I figure skated because I'd get called gay, even though I already was anyways, and two I never had anyone to tell anyways.

Kuroo made me experience a lot of new things, first kiss, first boyfriend, first friend. Not only that but it was the first time I felt like I could be myself around someone and this party is only making me realize how much I don't want to leave this all behind.

"Kenma?" I felt someone squeeze my hand, I looked up and noticed Kuroo looking down at me. "You good? You sorta spaced out there." He was worried, I made him worry a lot, but he only worried because he cared. He's probably going to worry when I leave, I'm gonna worry for him to when he's in college. I don't want us to split up, honestly I didn't care before. A lot of things were different before though. I never had any friends so I never cared for making any, yet now that I've finally got some I'm leaving.

"I don't wanna leave." I whispers only for Kuroo to hear, not that the others would since they were off fooling around on the ice while we stood here hand in hand.

"I know you don't," he let go of my hand and instead wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me into his side. "But we'll see each other again, and you'll get to be with your mom again." I did want to live with my mom now that she was better, I wanted to have a normal childhood again. I want to wake up to eat breakfast with her, say bye as she leaves for work and I leave for school, return after practice to eat dinner with her.

"You'll visit?" I asked trying to reassure myself even though he said multiple times already that he'd call and visit as much as he could.

"Of course." We both smiled at each other before skating over to join the others.

We skated for about two hours and left at around 8, apparently there was more to do. The walk to wherever we were going was cold and I wanted to hold Kuroo's hand but I was to scared. For me it didn't matter, but he still had to go to school Monday and if anyone saw us holding hands it'd be trouble for him. Not to mention everyone else around us would probably end up in a bad situation as well. I don't wanna do that to them, especially not Oikawa who's rumors just died down.

"And we're here!" Suga announced excitedly as he took keys from his pocket and unlocked his front door, I'm assuming it's his house even though no ones told me but why else would he have a key. His house was very homie and quiet, even though I'd never been here I felt comfortable. He led us into the kitchen which had empty bowls and plates sitting on the table. "Ta da." He smiled and presented the set table to us.

We all took seats, I was in-between Kuroo and Oikawa, Suga was across from me, Iwaizumi was across from Oikawa, and Daichi was across from Kuroo. Suga had brought us out the ramen once he finished it and we all ate it while making casual conversation. Just like lunch at school, I didn't talk much but rather listened to everyone else conversations. At one point Kuroo and Suga did some sort of silent nod, like they were talking telepathically or something, and Kuroo went off to the bathroom. I doubt he was going to the bathroom but honestly I didn't care to find out.

Once he came back he nodded at Suga again and sat back down next to me. He held my hand under the table which made me feel all warm and bubbly. It was nice, everything about today felt familiar. Even though this would be the last time we were all together for a little while they didn't make too big of a deal out of it thankfully, it just felt like another day together which pleased me. I enjoyed the sense of familiarity.

"Oh one more thing." Suga said getting up and running back to the fridge. He came back to the table with-

"Apple pie?" I asked in excitement as I watched him set it down on the table and cut a slice off. He gave me the first one before handing a slice to everyone else except Oikawa who kindly refused. "Thanks." I said to everyone after I finished my pie slice, well my second pie slice since I asked Suga for Oikawa's slice.

"So," Oikawa spoke up. "Do you know what school your going to?" I shock my head, I didn't bother looking really since I never cared about school.

"What about an ice skating rink, is there one up there?" Suga asked me as he finished up his pie slice.

"Uh yeah my mom said they've got a private rink to that I can maybe take lesson in if I want." Honestly I was very excited about it, Kuroo was trying to convince me to take lessons for a while now and now I'm gonna do it.

"That's great we'll have to come watch you when we all visit." Everyone seemed to agree with Suga, I didn't expect them to want to visit me though so I was a bit shocked. However, I was starting to learn that these are just things friends do.

"Yeah." I smiled looking down and my hand still holding onto Kuroo's under the table.

As the night began to wind down Suga ran off into a room beside the kitchen and came out with a card.

"It's from all of us, read it when you miss us ok?" He smiled and handed me the card, I smiled as well and took it from him.

"Alright, we'll be heading out then." Kuroo waved at them, took my hand, and we walked out the house together. I was a bit shocked he wanted to hold my hand on the way home but I wasn't going to complain. I mean, it was around 11 anyways so it was dark and people weren't really around.

I ended up leaning into him on the walk home and we enjoyed the silence together. Our last walk back to my house, it was bittersweet.

"Hey um," He broke the silence with his voice, he sounded sad almost. "My parents.. they uh won't let me come with you Saturday."

"Oh." I looked down at the ground while walking, I was sorta looking forward to showing him around the house and maybe spending Saturday together in my new town. We stopped walking abruptly.

"But I'll be there tomorrow morning to see you off." I didn't want him to be more upset then he already was so instead of mopping I smiled up at him.

"Ok." Watching him smile back at me made my heart flutter again. Slowly I saw him begin to lean down to his eyes fluttered closed, I followed in his foot steps and closed my eyes as well. Soon enough I felt him gently press him lips against mine. He was soft and caring in everything he did. I would've liked to stay like this forever, but if someone saw us now it'd be trouble for Kuroo. So I broke the kiss and back away.

"Sorry I know you don't really like-" I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him in for a hug, I never initiated anything so it shocked him bit. I just didn't want him to think I didn't enjoy kissing him, we don't do it often enough in my opinion. My fear is that we'll get caught, I just don't want him to suffer for me.

"I just don't want anyone to bother you if they see us." I hurried my face into his chest and felt him rub my back a bit.

"I know, thank you." Eventually we let go of each other and continued our walk home, each step closer to my apartment complex felt more and more calming. For once I was certain, this wouldn't be the end for Kuroo and I.
