how old do you think these are?

Kuroo could have been a tad more lighthearted. He wasn't typically so moody. There was a lot going on in his life though and being pestered by some girl wasn't helping. The poor boy couldn't tell if he liked her flirting or if he thought it odd. No one, other than Sverre, had ever flirted with him before. Was she flirting with him? How was he supposed to know that? She had said that she was teasing him, but by the way his belly flipped and flopped, he wasn't sure if he enjoyed it. The attention was nice, she was pretty to look at, and she was a kind pack mate; so overall, Kuroo could admit that he liked her. But she didn't quite look at him the way Sverre had... Those fiery eyes seemed to always smolder and linger in his direction.

The cutting edge of her words brought him quickly back to reality. Blinking a few times as his brain registered what Sayuri was saying, he could feel his lips tug down into a slight frown. Had he been too curt with her? Holding her stark blue gaze, he could feel his heart skip a beat. Looking at her was even more difficult. It was then that he lost his breath. Her paw lifted up and pushed at his chest. Lowering his chin to stare at her paw, his mouth fell agape. For a second time now she was breaking his personal bubble. When she lowered it, he raised his pale gaze, still speechless, as his brain tried to muddle through the compliments she was giving him.

Something in him stirred as she offered to help if he ever wanted it. When she moved on to joking about how flustered he had gotten last time, how could he say that he was even more flustered now? "I, uh, hm," Kuroo cleared his throat as his face contorted slightly. Words were hard when she was pointing out the obvious. "It's not that I couldn't..." he stopped there as he looked away, staring hard at the bark of a tree. Kuroo couldn't explain it, the way his insides were banging their fists against his brain to just go for it.

Without another word leaving him, Kuroo turned to look at Sayuri. Now or never, right? He wasn't ever going to know if he didn't just do it. His body moved against his will as he lunged forward toward her. Tackling her as gently, but not as gently as he had expected, to the ground until he was standing over her. Digging his paws into the dirt on either side of her shoulders, his jaws clenched together as he hovered his muzzle mere centimeters over hers. "Why do you tease me so?" His tone dropped deeper than he had ever heard it go before as a quiet growl rumbled in his throat. Never letting his gaze leave hers as he stood over her, he pushed his face forward. Connecting their muzzles together in what would be his first kiss ever, he felt his whole body light up on fire.
