He listens to every word you say even if he's not showing it, he's paying attention. It's him shifting in his seat slightly to be closer to you as you ramble on about whatever while he plays his game. It's the subtle side glances he gives you when you're not looking.

Kenma Confessing to You is calm and out of nowhere. It's his hands shaking slightly as the two of you sit in his room playing whatever game he found and thought you'd like but his focus is solely on you. It's longing glances from the corner of his eye as he watches you focus on the game in hand.
Kenma Confessing to You is him pausing the game, the room silent as he finds his voice. It's a whisper, one you barely catch but it's there, nonetheless. "I like you. Like, like like you." his fingers busied themselves with his controller, but the game had been paused for a few minutes.
Accepting Kenma's Confession is his gaze meeting yours after a few moments of silence, eyes wide and lips parted like he couldn't believe what he was hearing. It's the smallest smile forming on his lips as he nods and resumes the game with a quiet "Okay. Cool... Really cool." It's him shifting closer to you on the couch, his knees pressed against yours, and his head resting on your shoulder. ______________________________________________________________

It's sitting in silence with each other for hours, not needing conversation to fill the gaps. It's falling asleep on call and playing co-op games together until the sun comes up.

Dating Kenma is your hands always finding each other when walking in the halls, his console tucked into his pocket as he focuses on you. It's his team teasing him after you walk him to practice, his small smile not going unnoticed by his teammates.
