Boyfriend/Husbands headcanons || Kuroo
you and him meet in your second year of university
you’re in the library studying with a friend and you’re off to look for a book with your headphones on
you bump to the music as you scan the titles
maybe you get a bit too into the song and start doing some dorky dance moves, who knows
and when you turn to go back, you see some tall handsome glass of water with a bedhead standing a few steps away
frozen in movement he just grins at you and you bow, slightly embarrassed, and hurry away with your book
once he returns to his own seat he thinks for a moment, then picks up his things and moves them closer to where you and your friend are sitting
as he sets up his work space, he’s thinking about how to talk to you: maybe ask to borrow a highlighter or a pencil or something
you and your friend have a few snacks between you, mostly sweets on her side and some healthy options on yours
he overhears you whisper, playfully scolding your friend while offering her some strawberries, “You know, if you don’t eat fruits and veggies at least once in a while, you’re gonna get scurvy.”
he lets out a loud laugh that earns him scornful looks all around and quickly lowers his head in apology
when he looks over to you again after a while he sees you smile and it’s all over for him
the next day he is on his way to an empty lecture hall between classes that he can use to relax and study in without the pressing atmosphere of the pre-exam-season
his heart stumbles down several flights of stairs when he spots your chubby figure among the students gathered to do the same
he obviously chooses a free seat next to you
you only have a water bottle in front of you today
you’re wearing your headphones again but he has a plan
he tears off a piece of paper from his notebook and scribbles down a few words
he taps your shoulder to get your attention
slowly he pushes a container of grapes as well as a note into your field of vision
the note reads: “have some, to ward off scurvy”
you chuckle and take a grape
unfortunately, you pulled an absolute nerd
this man unironically wears a shirt to Differential Geometry that reads “every triangle is a love triangle if you love triangles”
he is, however, also, a very observant
who loses all his brain cells as soon as he is in the same room with his bestie, but that’s besides the point
will carry your books for you
and then won’t give them back until you kiss him
will absolutely space out staring at you with a smile on his face when he’s supposed to be studying/working
for special occasions you will get a handwritten, beautifully thoughtful card with the lamest, cheesiest (adorable) pun on the front
is always down to try new things with you
likes dates at the arcade and amusement park just as much as going to the museum or staying home and watch movies
a great motivator when you procrastinate
sets up a reward system with head pats and kisses
you go to all his varsity games and he feels unbeatable with you in the stands
if he loses, he really milks it
he’s not actually upset, but he figured out that if he pretends to be, you’ll fuss over him
lays on top of you to de-stress, because there is nothing more comforting to him than breathing you in and feeling your soft warmth
in those moments, no matter how horrible his day was, he knows everything will be okay
always has whatever you need in his bag (Hair tie? Pain killers? Rain poncho? Pads and tampons? Bag of your current favorite snack?)
whatever it is, he has it, just in case
your contact name is his phone is something absurdly nerdy like “Antimatter❤️”, because antimatter is the most precious and rarest material on earth
Kuroo notices you are overthinking/insecure before you even have a chance to spiral.
Because he knows that once you’re past a certain point nothing will convince you that he is genuine when he says you’re the love of his life and he has to watch you be sad for days.
So he learned long ago to notice the signs and has several protocols in place to catch you before you fall.
optimizes chores down to a scientific method and pouts when you tease him for being a huge nerd (he will not hear any arguments against science!)
desperately needs you to sit in his lap when he is doing overtime in home office because he will not have work deprive him of casual intimacy with you
“warding off scurvy” has become synonymous with going to the farmer’s market on a Sunday morning
will face-time you during lunch breaks so you can eat together, chat, be silly and recharge before getting back to work
on days when he is home earlier than you, he will have dinner on the table by the time you step through the door
knows how to cook your favorite native dishes for when you’re homesick (wears an apron that says something like “don’t be afraid to take whisks”)
likes to rile you up for his own personal entertainment
loves to say the phrase “my wife” whenever possible
another member of the wife man club
messes up tying his tie every morning on purpose, just to ask you to do it for him (you have seen through his scheme years ago but you go along happily)
absolutely shows you off at office parties
you're his pride and joy after all
learns your native language (he signed up for a course at university one month into dating) and gossips with relatives at family functions
proposed to you in your native language, the cheat sheet with the words in his hand shaking like a leave
later that same night he will claim he wasn’t even nervous at all
when he is on a business trip and you guys call on his way back to the hotel, he will purposefully take the longest route possible to prolong the call
a/n: this was a group effort with the amazing @oleander-cup and @inkpetrichor 💛
