like captured water

There was a moment of hesitation. Just one millisecond of palpitation between the two of them as her eyes narrowed at her. Even with water sloshing against their water-logged bodies and gulls squawking overhead, all he could do was look back at her. He would have questioned what she meant, but her question was indeed bold. It would leave him speechless even as she laughed in his face. While it was all in good fun, Kuroo could feel his face blush. Before he could respond on whether he did like it or not, he felt her putting pressure against his shoulders.

Slipping and unbalanced, Kuroo fell back against the sand as salty water splashed onto his face. With Sayuri looming over him, smirking in his face, he had to laugh. "Yes, yes, you win," he cooed back with a smile. Indeed, Kuroo was stronger than her. If he had wanted to overpower her and take her down, he could have by now. There was strength hidden beneath his coat that he often didn't show off. That wasn't the point though. The point was that he was having fun wrestling around on the beach and not having to worry about one-upping her. He'd rather let her think she was the stronger one if it meant continuing their fun.
