Being in a relationship with Kidou was a bit...awkward. he wasn't very good at showing affection and he wasn't very good at accepting it either. Honestly it was a wonder he chose to be with you in the first place.
You didn't know why he was like this, you could only guess it had something to do with his strict upbringing and love for soccer. Don't get it wrong, you love him to bits and there are nights when you're sat under the stars in a comfortable silence and Kidou will look at you and say:
"You do know I love you, right?" you'll reply with a yes and the evening will end with kisses and cuddles and head pets.
Other than that he never really showed much emotion towards you.
"I just don't know what to do Haruna! I love him and he loves me but I'm still so worried!" You exclaim, furiously stirring your smoothie with your straw. You and Haruna were sat at a smoothie bar in Inazuma Town and you took the opportunity to vent.
"My brother loves you, really. He's always asking if you're okay when he isn't around and he always wants to know what makes you smile." Haruna paused and sipped her smoothie thoughtfully. "Since his birthdays coming up, why don't you make him something he really, really likes? If it's hand made by you I'm sure he'd react to it! He always did whenever I made him presents." You pursed your lips and sighed.
"But what do I make him? We don't talk about each other that much so I just don't know." Haruna snapped her fingers and grinned.
"He loves penguins and secretly loves sweets! You should make him one of those candy animals you can get at festivals!" She said excitedly.
"Yeah! Okay!" You grinned and stood up, downing the rest of your smoothie. Instant regret. "Oh! Ah! Oh no oh no" You closed your eyes tightly and pressed your tongue to the roof of your mouth.
"Brain freeze?" Haruna chuckled, you nodded and after your headache went away, waved to her and dashed off.
You growled in frustration, hissing curses under your breath as you tried to make the candy penguins.
"Making fucking sweets she said" You hissed, burning your fingers on the hot sugar, trying desperately to mould it in the shape of a penguin. "Kidou will love it! She said! Well that's easier said than fucking done Haru- AH!" You dropped the penguin. Again. This was the fourth one you'd tried to make but you just kept burning your fingers and dropping it! This honestly felt impossible.
"Right." You said firmly, clipping your hair back and rerolling your sleeves. It was going to work this time.
You heated the sugar, water and glue food colouring, stirring until it was boiling then you stopped and kept a close eye on the temperature. Once it was ready you picked up some of the burning candy and worked it in your hands, forming a cute cone shape. You then gave it little flippers and painted it's tummy white and gave it a face you grinned and examined it closely.
It was a little weirdly shaped and it's face am was a bit...deformed. but! It looked cute and you made it yourself!
A couple of days later Kidou birthday rolled around and you rushed to his house with your tiny treat wrapped and him hand. Once you got to his house you rushed through the door and quickly took off your shoes
"Pardon the intrusion!" You yelled, incase anyone else was in the house, before running upstairs and into Kidou room. You barged in and-!
He was asleep at his desk.
You walked over to him and gently shook his shoulders.
"Hey, Yuuto, wake up.. Come on buddy" But he didn't stir, instead he groaned your name and buried his face in his arms. You smiled at him, he was cute when he was sleeping and it was nice to see that he was dreaming of you.
"Kidou, come on. It's 12 in the afternoon" Still nothing. You sighed, you really didn't want to do this but-
You jabbed him in the sides and he shot up like a spring. It was such a shock that he accidently knocked you off your feet! Kidou looked down at you and smiled apologetically.
"Haha, sorry [F/n]" He chuckled, helped you up. You just grinned at him.
"I'll forgive you if you open my present right now!" You exclaimed holding out the small wrapped gift. Kidou eyed it up before taking it from you. Carefully he untied the neat bow that sealed the wrapper and opened it up carefully.
There it was, your little blue penguin candy. Kidou stared at it for a while with a blank face, before his eyes filled with glee and he started grinning like an idiot.
"Where did you buy this? It's amazing!" You blushed and scratched the back of your head.
"Actually, I made it.." He turned his attention to you, eyes wide with facilitation.
"Are you serious?" You just nodded and laughed quietly while Kidou carefully rewrapped the penguin before tackle hugging you and nuzzling into your neck. "Thank you so much, it's the nicest gift.- You're so kind- I love you so much!"
You smiled brightly and hugged him back. "I love you too Yuuto, happy birthday."
