Even since we first met years ago, I immediately noticed one thing my best friend now lover is similar to a cat.
Kenma is VERY shy around strangers
"Kuroo! Come downstairs, meet our next-door neighbors" yelled my mom
"Alright coming."
My eight year old self run right down the stairs and I saw both my mom and another lady.
"Kozume-san, this is my son, Tetsuro" my mom announced
"Hello, Tetsuro-kun"
"Hi Kozume-san! I said
"And this is my son, Kenma" Kozume-san politely said
Then I noticed for the first time a small mop of hair behind Kozume-san's left leg slightly shuttering
"Oh, Kenma say hello to Tetsuro-kun" Kenma's mother said as she tried to lightly pull now small hands away from her skirt.
After five minutes, the mysterious mop of black hair appeared into a small boy with eyes as beautiful as pure gold and a small blush which complemented perfectly with his fair complexion.
"H-Hello T-Tetsuro-san, Kuroo-san nice to m-meet you" he said as he started looking down the
"Nice to meet you too Kenma! Also, you drop the formalities and call me kuroo since we're friends now. Ok?"
At the mention of the word 'friend', Kenma's head picks up immediately
"O-ok…. Kuroo" Kenma said hesitantly while our moms were watching this whole scene
My first thought of Kenma was picturing a baby kitten. Both very adorable and timid. That was the day I would become both his friend and protector.
2. Eventually he warms up to you…. literally
Another friday day night and we are on the couch watching Big Bang Theory. There was really nothing else on anyway but the living room was silent until…..
"Kuro"
"Yeah kitten?" I asked
He does not say anything else but he didn't need to. I always know exactly what he wants and vice-versa.
"Come here" I said softly as I remove my blanket and move my legs over to give him room to be my little spoon
In a matter of minutes, we are both under the blanket, spooning and soon we fell asleep on Shelten arguing the theory of time travel.
3. Picky about the things he prefers
"What do you feel like having?"
"Pie" Kenma said zombie-like
"No, Kenma anything with a entree and sides"
"Exactly an apple pie with whipped cream and a side of fruit" He answers
"What are you going to do once I start studying abroad?" I questioned him
"I'll just make myself nothing but fish, rice, and pies until you return"
"Ugh! what am I going to do with you?"
"You can start by stop playing 20 questions and making my pie" his demands
It lands me into the kitchen faster than you can say we. A happy and full Kenma is better than a demanding and pissy one.
4. Hates outdoors
"Please"
"No"
"Ppleassee"
"No"
"Please please please!"
"NO" Kenma yelled
"Come on Kem, it will only be for one night, two tops" I pleased
"Again N-O, No!"
"I'll buy you more games"
"..."
*After a minute, he answers*
"Ok, I'll go camping for the games" Kenma assured
"Great! Trust me you wouldn't regret this, this will be a trip of memories to come" I assured positively
-Two Days Later-
"I hate you"
"I'm soo sorry! I didn't know that tanuki would of attacked you. I thought it was merely looking for food." I cried animated tears while we waited in the waiting room of the hospital.
"I'm never going to the outdoors with you again" he said before the nurse called for his turn
Kenma ended up having six stitches on his arm and mild food poisoning. It was a trip of memories indeed.
