tiny knb relationship thoughts ☆
kise + kagami | bring out strengths in one another without hurting one another. aokise reminds me of the "we make each other alive. does it matter if it hurts?" quote. but kise and taiga can have such a fierceness and fire in between them while also keeping a friendliness and clear mutual respect and affection for each other. (like kise's wolfish grin and "you bastard" during the second kaijo v seirin, his glowing eyes and smile when taiga gave his 'this is our story' speech, kise's veiled pep talk to taiga and taiga's “kise...” during yosen v seirin, taiga's panicked frustration for kise during the haizaki game). plus the certain softness taiga has, that i think pairs really well with kise, kise's sensitiveness specifically.
kise + midorima | shin really brings out a seriousness in kise, a sincerity, where it seems kise doesn't feel like he has to put on any masks, be someone he's not, or try to impress shin (which is how it feels often with aomine). they care for each other so subtly, understand and know one another, and have a comfortableness and familiarity with each other thats so quiet, almost feels inherent. a really quiet sort of intimacy, constant and sometimes awkward in how they show affection to each other.
