‣ i will say this again: he claims the boyfriend™ title
‣ lots of warm and comforting hugs from him fr,, he would be the type to rest his chin on your head or like fall asleep that way.. one way or the other. oh, and he’d gently sway you back and forth (like slow dancing) while he’s hugging you
‣ uhm uhm BACK HUGS ARE THE BEST WITH THIS MAN !!!!!!! depending on the mood, but he’d kiss you wherever is available and idk :(((( he’s probably rlly comfortable when he’s cuddling you when you’re both sleeping on the same bed
‣ he’s a sucker for kisses :(((((( numai would think about your kiss the whole day
‣ k but if the mood is getting spicy, he’d kiss your neck then down to your shoulder and then your collarbones bro aye--
‣ this man has a lot of pride we know it and he loves showing you off to his friends and family sigh
‣ tbh i don’t rlly see him as the jealous type like he’ll support you and let hang out with guy friends and want you to let him know that you’re safe
‣ and when he does? oh boy haha you know what’s aboutta happen in bed and we know it,, and will apologize about getting jealous and he’d be genuine about it and peppers you with kisses awh
‣ uh the best at comforting you. he knows how to make you feel better when you’re hurting emotionally or mentally
‣ he knows his boundaries; numai knows when to back off or to stop when things are getting out of hand in an argument or a fight. he would give you and himself some space to cool off until everything had settled down so you two could talk it out
‣ absolutely adores when you’re talking about the things that you like and you’re being passionate about them like he would just listen to you with a loving smile on his face and hypes you up like SMFMFMF
‣ sends you good morning/good night texts with a lot of hearts after it :’))) if you’re a “bruh” person, he’d probably send you “hey, it’s morning, dummy” or anything a “bruh” person likes getting bc same
‣ sings to you when you can’t sleep PERIODT.
‣ he loves seeing you in his hoodies bc one, you look very cute in them and two, he loves that scent you leave on his hoodie. yup.
‣ numai absolutely loves it when you’re playing with his hair :’)))) it relaxes him and he feels loved the most when you do it and sigh he’s best boyfriend honestly
this has lived rent free in my head since i saw it and i'm like 99% sure that if keishin hadn't buzzed his head in high school, he would look like numai kazuma and i... am in love with both of them 👀👀👀
The fourth work in a series of artworks I’m doing for pride month, using the fourth colour in the flag. Kuguri and Numai on an awkward first date in the park. :)
im feeling very. nohebi rn so! how did numai's pinch serve go? and how did numai and kuguri interact?
Sorry this is a bit late! Full review under the Read More
Since they do a very small scene for Nohebi versus Itachiyama, they do show us the scene where Numai injures his hand in that match. After that, he is fairly noticeable (at least to me) cheering on the sidelines for his team. Possibly because he’s VERY loud and intense lol.
In usual Engeki fashion, Numai’s serve scenes are pretty emotionally intense, and they make it obvious how painful it is for him to be serving with his injury. He’ll jump and serve, roar out as he does it, then as he lands on the ground, he’s immediately clutching his hand and groaning, so like... thanks for that.
When he’s going in for his second serve and saying this line, he’s not keeping as calm as in these panels. His team is gathered around him, and he’s screaming about the pain, but also screaming that it’s ONLY pain and obviously he’ll keep going if he needs to help them win.
And then once his serve is returned and he needs to be rotated out, the manga has this:
But in the play, he goes directly to Daishou center-stage and puts his arm on his shoulder and says it’s up to them now. The one time that he tweeted this photo of him and Yuu? That’s how they are in the play as he’s leaving the court. So have fun with those feels.
Numai and Kuguri’s big moment is after Nohebi loses the match, and Kuguri’s crying because they lost. During the final show, Yuuta was definitely crying for real (as was Yuu) about their loss, so it was extra emotional. Numai puts both hands on Kuguri’s shoulders as he’s bowing and then he encourages him about his skills and saying how relieved he is to see Kuguri getting really upset. His voice was cracking, so I think Minagi might have been crying for real too (which he hadn’t during the earlier shows), but he didn’t break completely.
Honestly, Kuguri was super cute and it was clear how much both Daishou and Numai wanted to push him forward and encourage him to break out of his shell a little. Both Daishou and Numai would do a lot with little gestures throughout the play: calling out his name, offering him a high five that would take him by surprise, patting his head, that kind of thing. They’re not overly nice or anything, that’s not their way, but they’re definitely playing the role of senpai.
art from 2019 can you believe this? i divorced myself from tumblr almost entirely. but i still link it in my social media so i should at least have updated art lmao
