Kai relationship headcanons after G-Rev events (since the Bladebreakers aspect is covered)
im not good with romance whatsoever thanks to lack of experience and interest but this is my blog and i do what i want so Kai suffer with me (but honestly i’m a disaster with romance ahjsgdhj)
since it’s post-GRev, Kai mellowed out quite a lot but I don’t see him dating until he attends university, partially since he, while possessing basic knowledge on how relationships generally work, completely lacks maturity and interest in such commitment
it really depends where you currently stand with Kai in the relationship since a relationship with him is bound to be a slow one; patient, kind and independent people certainly catch his interests
while being pretty much as Extra as it gets, Kai doesn’t do grand gestures but rather subtle signs, which might be a bit hard to pick up on unless you’ve been friends with him for a while before; a long previous friendship with him certainly has it’s perks
sometimes it feels like he’s not really listening, but he’s very attentive towards his partner – in his very own quiet way, again, it’s all about subtlety
and then there is the not so subtle fact that Kai seems to harbour blatant favouritism towards his partner
Tyson: “hey Kai!”
Kai, reading: “no.”
Partner: “Kai?”
Kai, already closing his book: “yes?”
Tyson: “are you for real–”
he keeps all the selfies his partner takes whenever they steal his phone – he has a particularly nice photo of them as his background picture
his way to initiate cuddles is to turn the heat in the house lower so his partner will come scuttling up to him to leech on his warmth bc Kai is an absolute dork who has to take any other route instead of straight out asking them
he’s really putting an effort into the relationship, but sometimes finding the right words is still hard for him
Partner: “i really appreciate you, Kai”
Kai, internally: “i appreciate you too, very much so, you put up with me even when i mess up, you remain patient and kind, you’re wonderful and i’m kinda scared how much feelings i have for you”
