Kiryuu remembers when you bought the table, remembers the look in your eyes when you had first seen it. He had held your hand so softly, like he was scared if he held too tight you would disappear. The furniture store had never seemed so daunting as when you had both stepped into it to shop for your home. The aisles like mirages of something too good to be true.

The table wasn't grandeous, it was round and wooden and came with chairs for a discounted price. It was small but when you both looked at each other you realized how perfect it would be in your small home, it was big enough for maybe four people and it was easy to picture how nicely it would look in your dining room.

The house— by all means— was still a work in progress, paint buckets stacked in corners and paint swatches taped to the walls. A half-built bookcase and instruction pamphlet set on the floor of the living room, the only new piece of furniture you seemed to be able to finish being the dining room table. Nothing could hide your smiles from each other at seeing the golden hues from the sun dance across the wooden finish, the table sits neatly by your window, the curtains grazing the surface just so.

When you had woken him up the next morning with a wide smile on your face he realized just how much this meant to both of you. Perhaps it was silly to be so happy over a dining table of all things. "Mitsuki, let's eat." Your hand outstretched for him as he allowed you to pull him from the bed. The smell of food wafting down the hall, his hand squeezed yours and he could see the love in your eyes when you looked back at him and squeezed his hand in return.

The two of you sat across from each other— and for the first time in a long time there wasn't anger or discomfort at being there. Eating together didn't feel like a punishment or a final duel before sunrise. The two of you simply sat across from each other and ate.

Over the years the finish of the table has chipped away, small scratches and grooves making homes in the wood. You didn't mind, your fingers tracing the grooves and scratches and remembering they were made in the home you had built together. They weren't made with anger or hatred but instead small mistakes filled with love. You woke him up the same as you did the first day every morning, enjoying seeing as his hair grew out and eventually began to grey. Crows feet making their way at the corners of his eyes, and the unkempt bed head he would wake with each morning.

Every morning while you sat together with the rays of sun flittering through the curtains, the first thought in your mind was how much you enjoyed growing old with him. How much you enjoyed growing old with love.

“I don’t know what you two are going on about..” Sakura grimaced as he looked at his two friends, Nerei and Suo, confusedly.

“You’re going on your first date, aren’t you?” Suo said with that same old polite smile of his despite trying to tease Sakura. “Yeah..! This is a big deal!” Nerei shakes Sakura by his shoulders slightly.

The three were walking to Cafe Pothos after school as usual. The previous day, you had approached Sakura to hang out together…alone… Sakura hadn’t let his friend know his plans until this moment.

“I’m not sure what you mean by ‘date’.” He says with pink tinted cheeks, knowing he was being teased by his friends. Sakura didn’t fully understand the concept of a date. He had known people went on them but he didn’t actually know the meaning or weight behind it…especially that it was a romantic gesture.

Nerei and Suo looked at him intrigued yet confused at Sakura’s response. It felt like common knowledge to them so they just assumed it was to him as well. The two exchanged a slightly worried glance before smiling awkwardly.

.

.

.

You had spent over an hour getting ready for your date. You were ecstatic cause Sakura actually said yes…well it was more of a, “Sure…?” but still a yes nonetheless. You were so nervous about looking your best, you even took an everything shower…!

Your periwinkle dress flowed down until just above your knees and white socks up to your shin. You did your makeup and put a cute little bow clip in the side of your hair.

The wind blew from behind, making your hair drift forward. Your legs swung back and forth off the bench in the park you told Sakura to meet you at. You had paced around for a bit before sitting down and now you were looking up at the sky.

You began to feel nervous with how late Sakura was. You could see the sun would start to set soon. The sky was beautiful but you had a hard time enjoying it when you were this nervous.

Sakura rounded the corner to the meeting spot in just a normal white T-shirt and sweatpants. He didn’t realize one would normally dress formal to a date…

One he saw you, his gaze lingered on your outfit. He wondered why you were so dressed up and looked down at his own close with squinted eyes and a confused look.

Sakura then blushed, realizing you dressed up like that all for him. He tightens his fists while he looks at the ground in embarrassment.

He thought he understood it now.

Kiriyu constantly took girls on “dates” and he’d see the girls all dressed up and pretty. He realized the romantic intentions and his face turned red as his darted up at you and back to the ground.

He couldn’t take it. His whole face felt burning hot and every fiber in his being was screaming at him to run.

Love made Sakura feel uncomfortable and he sure wasn’t ready for this…he hadn’t sorted out his feelings for you yet. He wasn’t ready to accept love from others let alone love other people back.

His body tensed as he ran away. Leaving you there alone.

You had texted him but he didn’t even read the texts. You knew he wasn’t a tech savvy person or glued to his phone. He only had the weather app for gods sake…

You wondered if you should just give up and go home. You didn’t think Sakura was a bad person…so what could’ve happened…?

You feel tears drop onto your thighs as you started crying silently. You felt stupid for ever thinking Sakura could like you and return your feelings…you felt like no one could.

You knew that it was silly to take being stood up as being unloved by all but it truly felt that way.

Your cries didn’t go unnoticed by Kiriyu across the street. He knew he saw you around before because you worked at Cafe Pothos, but even if he didn’t know you he would’ve approached you.

He squatted in front of you as he spoke softly, “Whatcha doing out here all alone?”

You lifted your head to look at him before covering your face, embarrassed. You wiped your tears and hid your face with your hair.

“Uh sorry…” you mutter, not really knowing how to respond.

“Don’t be…” he lifted your chin gently to look at your face and you finally realized it was Kiriyu.

“Oh Kiriyu…it’s you.” you said with widened eyes. You sniffled a little before continuing, “I’m fine…it’s stupid why I was crying.”

“Don’t say that. Whatever it was upset you so that doesn’t make it silly. Tell me.” He then sat on the bench next to you and offered his kind eyes.

“I got stood up…” you muttered with an embarrassed look as you fidgeted with your fingers.

His expression darkened slightly and nodded, “That’s not a silly reason to cry at all…” he said softly. It was clear he wasn’t mad at you but at the situation. Kiriyu hated seeing girls cry.

“I-…I just feel so stupid…” you hid your face in your hands again, trying not to cry.

Kiriyu pulled you into a side hug and took your hand in his. You tilted your head up to look at him to be met with his sweet smile.

He pulled you up with him, still holding hands in a gentlemanly way, “No worries…I’ll take you on a date now.”

“You don’t have to-“ He cut you off.

“I want to. Who wouldn’t want to take a cute girl like yourself on a date?” He held both of your hands and pressed his forehead against yours with soft smile.

You nodded with slight blush as you let him whisk you away.

Sakura watched from afar, realizing it was too late to apologize.

After Sakura ran away earlier, he had gone to Kotoha to ask for advice…

She sighed after Sakura explained, “Sakura…do you realize what running away probably did to the poor girl? You should’ve told her upfront that you weren’t interested.” She scolded.

“It’s not that I wasn’t interested…” he muttered with blush across his face. Her eyes widened in realization while Sakura refused to make eye contact.

“Sakura…you should go back and see if she’s still there.” Kotoha smiles now.

“What?! No no-“ Sakura stammers.

“You like her, don’t you?” She asks with a soft smile.

“I-…” Sakura leaves his mouth agape as he thinks of all the moments he’s had with you. You bandaging him up after fights…you always smiling and welcoming him no matter what and always with the same energy…you making him feel capable of love somehow. That someone can be excited to see him and wants him there. You wanting him.

He shuts his mouth before running out the door as fast as possible. He was used to running like this and the adrenaline was starting to make him feel excited to see you. He wanted to hold your hand and listen to your voice…he wanted to be with you one on one…he wanted-

Oh.

He stopped in his tracks once he say Kiriyu holding your hand and wiping away your tears.

He had gotten to you first.

And there was nothing he could do now.

He ran with the same speed in the other direction without looking back.

boyfie!kiryuu mitsuki headcanons

note: kiryuu's character design is very neat to me. also posting now because i have no patience whoopsie

kiryuu is very much a gentleman. he makes sure to open the door before you even have a chance to reach for the handle and pulls out your chair at every restaurant you go to. he even goes so far as to tell you not to move when you’re in the passenger seat of the car so he can run around the vehicle and open the door for you.

he also knows about the sidewalk rule and makes sure that he’s the one walking closer to the street rather than you. if you somehow manage to be the one closer to the street, kiryuu skillfully moves to be on the other side of you. he moves so smoothly that you tend to not even notice what he’s done.

he likes playing games with you. whether it’s board games or card games or video games, kiryuu likes it when you can play together. it doesn’t matter too much to him if the game is multi-player or single-player as long as you’re in the same area playing.

he also definitely sends you game pigeons at any given hour. it could be three in the morning, and your phone will ping with a notification that kiryuu texted you, wanting to start a round of 8-ball. you guys typically have multiple games going at one time, starting a new one as soon as one ends.

kiryuu even gets his friends in on it, making one big group chat for you all to play crazy eight together.

if you ever forget your jacket, kiryuu always gives you his, even if you voice your protests. he just waves you off and says that his jacket suits you more as he helps you put it on. how can you put up any more of an argument when he says such sweet things like that?

as much as kiryuu likes seeing you wear his clothes, he also likes wearing yours as well, especially if it’s a bit oversized. if he’s over at your place, he’ll help himself to your closet and slip on his favorite oversized hoodie of yours. if you give him a look, he simply responds with a happy little content sound as he burrows himself further into your hoodie. (you’ve grown accustomed to his behavior and have resorted to just leaving his favorite hoodie of yours out whenever he comes over.)

you’ve also probably picked up the habit of carrying a few hair accessories on you, such as some hair pins and a hair tie or scrunchie. kiryuu is constantly losing his hair pins (even though he has an entire case of them), so you start carrying some for him just in case. if he opens his hair pin case just to come up empty-handed, you’ll wordlessly hand him a hair accessory.

kiryuu likes wearing outfits that complement your own. he likes it when you guys are dressed in the same color scheme or when your clothing is made of a similar material. he thinks it makes you look so good together. kiryuu likes it most, however, when you wear an accessory that matches the pattern of his shirt. it's a sure fire way for people to know that you're together.

kiryuu effortlessly brings out your sillier side. although he's typically a pretty cool and collected guy, he does like things that could be seen as dumb or silly. (have you seen his silicone hot dog phone case?) he's pretty comfortable with himself, which includes being a little embarrassing at times, easing any worries that you may have regarding him finding you or your potential interests childish.

if you guys are taking a selfie or are in a photo booth together, kiryuu needs one of the poses you do to be a funny pose. bonus points if the photo booth has props because kiryuu is definitely picking out props that he finds funny and that you may find absurd. he likes the way you laugh when he poses for you, even if it may be at his own expense.

texting kiryuu can definitely be a little frustrating at times. he's a prompt texter, but he's also an avid user of emojis, reaction images, and gifs. it's rare for him to reply to your text messages using only words, which may be a little irritating if you're trying to have a proper conversation with him. if kiryuu can sense you're getting annoyed, he'll knock it off and reply to you the way you desire before resuming his typical texting habits once more.

kiryuu normally has a calm temperament, but he becomes unsettlingly calm when somebody's hitting on you and can't quite get the hint that you're not interested in them. if he's not already by your side, he'll appear out of nowhere, putting himself between you and the person who can't get the hint. it's nearly scary the way kiryuu will verbally tear the person to shreds, all the while he has a little smile on his face.

kiryuu enjoys it when you play with his hair. he'll never turn you down if you ask to play with it. he likes the feeling of your hands in his hair, and he knows you have fun when he lets you do whatever you want to his hair. whether it's pinning his hair back with overly cutesy barrettes or weaving little braids throughout his hair, kiryuu will leave the house with the hairstyle you've given him. even if you tell him he doesn't have to and that you were just playing around, he'll do so anyway. he likes being able to tell people that you did his hair when he gets questions about the new look.

all in all, kiryuu is a great boyfriend. in your opinion? he's the very best.
