headcanon that tsukishima kei is a low key brat at home
okay. i know it’s canon that kei is this mature, well behaved kid but hear me out on this:
kei is the youngest in the family. he probably got a little spoiled as a child
guess who spoiled him the most. that’s right. AKITERU
probably almost always gets what he wants. and if he doesn’t get it at first ask, he probably has wayS to get them.
lbr. this kid probably had everything his way/got everything he wanted provided their parents think it won’t do him harm
he’s mostly a brat around Akiteru because he knows his nii-chan will always give in
he mellowed down as he grew up (especially after the thing with Akiteru) but he’s still a brat...mostly to their mom because he knows he’s her favorite
HIS BRATTY HABITS ONLY RETURNED FULL FORCE AFTER HE AND AKITERU REACHED AN UNDERSTANDING
OKAY BRACE YOURSELVES KIDS. I’M GOING ON A ROLL HERE
kei always making his brother treat him food. kei going to extra practice with akiteru’s team and always needling him into treating him to food. sometimes (most of the time) it’s not the healthy kind
kei making akiteru help him with his receives on the weekends even though akiteru doesn’t want to because “it’s hot. i’m tired. ugh, kei. no.” it turns into a “dammit. fine” when kei gives him a look.
kei eating the last pudding/ice cream bar that he knows akiteru is saving because he ate the last strawberry poptart and kei is petty
faking something/giving excuses just so he can get out of doing chores and their mom would make akiteru do it
“I’m telling mom” threats
consequently, bargaining. “i won’t tell mom if you buy me two strawberry short cake on that shop near your workplace” “but that’s so expensive!”
kei offhandedly mentioning akiteru’s love life when he’s winning at teasing and annoying kei. he mostly does it around their mom and smirks at akiteru when he succeeds at having her hound him about bringing home someone (which is always)
it gets worst when kei mentioned tanaka saeko to get back at him for watching the shiratorizawa match even when kei told him not to. akiteru turned a vibrant shade of firetruck red that had their mother’s eyes glinting in intrigue
kei can also be a brat around yamaguchi but yamaguchi handles it better than akiteru and doesn’t take any of kei’s shit...most of the time
just
tsukishima kei being a high key brat at home!!!
