You must include at least one specific character/ship and fandom in your prompt. You may add "any" after listing a few characters/ships/fandoms!

Ship/Character: (The relationship or character your prompt is focused on."&" indicates a platonic relationship, "/" is non-platonic. You must include at least one specific ship/character.)
Fandom: (what fandom the character or ship is from. DO NOT write “Any”)
Major Tags: (Major Character Death, Rape/Non-Con, Graphic Depictions of Violence, Underage, or Chose Not to Use Tags, when applicable; Otherwise, write "None".)
Additional Tags: (Anything you feel requires tagging or mention. Not required, but it is highly encouraged to check the additional tags on the tags page (https://sportsfest.dreamwidth.org/3623.html) as they are things your fellow participants have asked to be tagged for! May also be humorous, tumblr-style tags.)
Do Not Wants: (Anything you do not want to see in your fills including triggers, squicks, and even minor things like ships you do not like. Please use this space responsibly and not, say, to create crazy limitations for your fillers.)

i've never written kenhina before! i just love their canon first meeting and wanted to give them another cute first meeting :)

***

Kenma drags his feet as Kuroo tugs him through the carnival, weaving them both between rows of tents and food stands before depositing Kenma in a corner. Kenma has yet to look up from his DS.

“Stay here, I’m going to find Bokuto and then we’re gonna get food.”

Kenma shrugs before turning back to his game. Where was he going to go anyway? He doesn’t even want to be here.

“Step right up, to see the amazing Little Crow. He can fly!”

Despite himself, Kenma is intrigued, and looks up to see a slackline set up between two tents with a crowd forming around it. He doesn’t move closer. Instead he watches with rapt attention as a small redhead easily balances on the line, addressing the crowd.

“I am Hinata Shouyou! And I can touch the sky!”

And then he jumps into the air and flips twice, landing neatly onto the slackline.

Kenma’s heart soared into the air with him, and it settles in his stomach with a plop when the boy—Shouyou—lands. He watches like that, video game forgotten next to him for the next fifteen minutes before Shoyou does an elaborate flip and takes a deep bow. He high fives the two boys that come to pack up the slackline and set up a stage for fire breathing or something, but Kenma’s already lost interest. He picks up his game and goes back to it, but his mind stays on the boy’s sunny smile.

A few minutes or hours later, he feels the air around him move to allow for another person to sit on the grass next to him. He ignores them.

“Whatcha playing?”

Kenma’s eyes snap up to see the sun himself, chewing on a granola bar and wearing a simple t-shirt instead of his flashy performing gear. Without thinking Kenma glances between the boy next to him and the spot where he was performing and then back to the boy. His grin is blinding.

“Did you see me perform!? I was like whah! And then blam! I almost fell off, did you see that one? Did you like it?”

Kenma blinks slowly at the boy.

“Yes, Shouyou, I liked it.”

The grin never fades. Kenma’s pretty sure he’s never smiled that much in his entire life, let alone one conversation.

“Agh! You remembered my name. You must have really liked it then,” the boy pauses but continues when he sees that Kenma isn’t going to respond, “what’s your name?”

Kenma pauses his game, turning to give Shouyou his full attention.
“Kenma.”

Shouyou jumps up, holding his hand out.

“Come on, Kenma! I can show you around.”

Kenma looks between his game and Shouyou, before giving in and letting Shouyou pull him up and into a maze of tents. Except instead of reluctantly like when Kuroo drags him around, Kenma grips Shouyou’s hand tightly.

OH my gosh this is so cute!!!! I love those two so much, and this is such a sweet meeting.
