“As long as you keep the braid thin, you’d be able to braid it.”
Kuroo would reach over, beginning to gently card his fingers through Konoha’s blond strands. He’d turn a little, eyes narrowing as he examined how long it really was from root to end. He’d also mentally note, that it was quite soft, this being partially why he’d continue neatening Akinori’s regardless of not needing to have the contact. Kuroo had such a weakness to soft things–
“I meant that, yeah. Books, movies, shows, games. That sort of thing.”
He’d give a roll of his eyes, he’d thought that everyone knew what that dreaded genre was. It was term more recently coined in though, so maybe it hadn’t caught on to everyone yet.
“A romcom is basically a romantic comedy, you know, all the pointless cliches, and slapstick comedy that any girl could ever want.”
And maybe some guys too, if they were into that sort of thing. Kuroo liked to steer clear of those movies though. However, he did have to add.
“You like mysteries too– ?? I enjoy learning about the mysteries of the earth, like what’s under the ocean, or strange things that happen but no-one can explain.”
He’d leave that there before he went off on an embarrassingly excited rant about it. Yeah, time to think about his own answer for that question. He’d pause for a moment to think, of the options given, he’d have to say that he could really be any one of them, depending on his mood and the situation. Yet, he’d only be able to pick one; this had him narrowing his eyes and almost pouting with how much he was concentrating on thinking.
“I guess I’d have to say dawn, I mean yeah, you wake up and everything sucks because you want to stay in bed sometimes, but—— I like knowing I have a whole day ahead of me, and I have the possibility to do so many things.”
It was kind of fun to think about things like this, things he’d automatically go about doing but would never think about in any depth. You’d never question it until someone else asked, he supposed. Still, he’d have to think of another question to ask, he wasn’t sure what to go for when they knew so little at this point.
“Hmm—- Oh, what do you want for your birthday– ??
That’s coming up pretty soon, right– ?? “
Konoha caught himself just in time before he jerked in surprise at feeling Kuroo’s fingers against his hair. His touch was soft - and it was something he found unexpected about the captain whose personality was more often rough than gentle. But looking at him now, he had to admit that he does have that side - no matter how hidden.
“Are you telling me you actually know how to braid?”
Why he was nonchalantly showing him this side of him though, Konoha could only guess. It was probably a hard to grasp concept for someone who kept his own personality under a secure hold.
Carelessly dropping your guard like that around people you barely know might get you in trouble one day, Kuroo.
Well, not that he’d say something like that out loud.
As for his response to his question, Konoha decided that the Nekoma captain was quite the optimistic one. If he was asked the same question, dawn would be his least choice - being one to prefer the night and quiet. He liked it better once the day winds down and gives way into the silence and stillness of the night.
His gaze, which had traveled momentarily to window - not that he saw much through the blanket he draped over it, flickered back to Kuroo at the mention of his birthday. His eyes widened ever so slightly in surprise. His lips parted for a moment but had to close them again as he tried to find the right words to form a sentence, forehead creasing just slightly in confusion.
Truth be told, he didnt expect that many people - aside from his team, he supposed - to know when his birthday was. Even still, he did not expect anything for his birthday. It was just a regular day for him, as far as he was concerned. So to be asked about what he wanted for a gift was something that caught him off guard.
“Im not really one for gifts, I suppose. How did you even know about my birthday anyway?”
