respective routines somehow looped into each others, giving kuroo the opportunity to not only admire his focused boyfriend, but also to have direct sight of kenma's most vulnerable state. often, kuroo comes home later than he should. his day is supposed to end around 5pm but

he always somehow makes it home by 7pm, which means kenma has already eaten, already cleaned up his own dishes, already settled at his desk to stream or edit whatever video he filmed. as per usual, kuroo comes home late.

he expects to hear kenma's music, or maybe a soft call of his name from kenma's office, but nothing. he takes off his shoes, hangs his coat, and smiles to himself. once in a blue moon, kenma falls asleep at his desk. it doesn't happen often, because kenma's so focused

when he works, he sometimes forgets to sleep, drink, eat, but when it happens, kuroo knows exactly what do to do. before anything though, kuroo peeks into kenma's office to confirm that he's asleep... and indeed, the blonde head is softly snoring.

kuroo cannot help a light chuckle to escape his lips, it's rare to catch kenma drooling all over his sleeves. his left cheek is squished against the crook of his elbow, giving kuroo a clear view of kenma's cheekbones, round and rosy from his sleeping. he allows himself

to take one picture, just one, that he adds to his collection in a secret file on his phone, before heading for the bathroom. he comes back a minute later, with a tiny pouch. rolling up his sleeves, kuroo throws the pouch aside to pick up kenma as gently as he can, without

waking him up preferably. the blonde still whines in his sleep, calling for kuroo weakly as his hands catch onto kuroo's dress shirt. ” tetsu... „ his pink lips move and kuroo hums softly as he sits kenma between his legs, comfortable on their bed. with his back against the

headboard, and his hands now in kenma's hair, he goes to work. kenma falls right back asleep, weak under kuroo's delicate and gentle fingers. he braids each brown locks to their blonde tips, securing each of the two braids with a tiny blonde colored hairtie.

he's only began, and as he reaches for the pouch he threw aside earlier, kuroo smiles. he's reminded of all the times in high school he had to tie up kenma's hair for practice, or just when kenma was annoyed by his bangs. his nose press against the top of kenma's head, kuroo

pulls out fake flowers hair clips and butterflies. he decorates the two braids, giggling fondly when his kenma suddenly looks like a sleeping beauty, and just like that, an hour has passed. kuroo takes a minute to admire his work, and the work of art that is kenma's face,

before softly smooching up the side of his boyfriend's face. ” mm... mmphf... „ the blonde yawns, groans, and finally bats his pretty lashes, a sign that he's slowly waking up. ” hey you... „ kuroo's smile is pressed against kenma's cheek and kenma whines again.

his small arms wrap around kuroo's neck, and his flexible body rotates, leaving his legs to tangle with kuroo's while he presses their chests together. ” welcome home... „ he mumbles and kuroo knows it's all he'll get from kenma for now.

” did your hair for you... „ he murmurs as kenma nuzzles his neck. the blonde freezes, neck stiff as he leans back and blindy reaches for his phone, charging on the bedside table. ” oh... „ kenma softly smiles, sleepy still, but happy, as he sees his reflection on the black

screen of his phone, ” thank you... it's beautiful... „ kuroo grins proudly, and swallows a smug reply to cherish the soft moment they're sharing, ” anything for you~. „ kenma rolls his eyes but still rewards his boyfriend with a soft kiss on the lips.

that night, when kenma turns on his computer and starts his live session, he has a soft smile plastered on his face as his viewers scream about his hairstyle, complimenting the cute hair clips and the perfect braids. smug as ever, kenma leans back on his gaming chair and grins

at the chat, ” thanks, my boyfriend did it for me. „ and the next day, the words "kodzuken's boyfriend, maybe an hairstylist?!" are trending on all socials.
