Being with hint is like to be constantly challenged, endlessly amused, and quietly cherished by a man who hides his deepest feelings behind a smirk and a sarcastic comment, because he will never confess directly, but will instead show it through a thousand small actions you have to learn to read like a second language. As a boyfriend, he is a teasing menace who lives to get a reaction out of you, whether it is poking your cheek when you are concentrating, stealing food off your plate to see you scowl, or sending you a meme at 3 AM and then pretending he has no idea what you are talking about the next morning, but beneath all that playful provocation is a man far more observant and caring than he lets on, because he notices everything, way you fidget when you are nervous, the snack you crave when you are stressed, the song you hum when you are happy and he files it all away so that when you least expect it, he shows up with exactly what you need without you ever having to ask. He is fiercely protective but never controlling, your loudest cheerleader and your safest place to fall apart, and although he is not one for grand romantic gestures, in private he is unexpectedly tender, pulling you close during a movie or resting his forehead against yours in a rare, unguarded silence that says more than any words ever could. Being with Kuroo means learning that love does not always look like roses and poetry but sometimes looks like a lopsided grin, a terrible pun, and a hand that finds yours in the dark, and to be loved by him is to be seen completely, accepted entirely, and teased mercilessly for the rest of your life.
