Matchablossom for the ship ask: 8, 12, 21, 29 and 44 🥺
@fuck-you-i-am-spiderman Thank you very much, lovely! 💖💖💖
8. Who gets extremely competitive playing Mario Kart?
They’re both extremely competitive in everything they do together, so why should Mario Kart be any different? They’re not against fighting dirty, which means things tend to get physical—foot to the face, elbows in ribs, “accidentally” disconnecting the controller, etc.
(Miya regrets ever introducing them to the game since no matter that he beats them both almost every time, it seems like all they ever care about is who came in 2nd vs. 3rd between the two of them.)
12. Who does the hands-over-the-eyes “Guess Who” thing?
Kojiro, just because he knows Kaoru “hates it” and somehow that annoyed sigh is terribly endearing—all the more so when it comes with an insult like, “I don’t know, did the zoo lose their gorilla?” If he’s standing, Kaoru might then turn around to face Kojiro as those large, warm hands slide down to his back, and if Kojiro is lucky, he’ll get to kiss away a pout.
21. Who’s clumsier?
As adults, neither of them would be considered clumsy, as much as Kaoru huffs that Kojiro’s like a great dane with no idea just how big he is. It’s not really true. Kaoru knows that damn well. He just likes to get a jab in at Kojiro. Seems only fair considering how it used to be—
As kids, Kaoru was the first to hit his growth spurt (and it hit him hard). He was tall and lanky and terribly clumsy, no sign of the elegance he’d one day grow into. Kojiro, who’d grow past him in high school, got a fair few laughs in between kindergarten and then, watching his best friend flail and trip and stumble around like a newborn giraffe.
29. Who licks the spoon when they’re baking brownies?
Kojiro, which Kaoru of course finds scandalous because, “You’re a chef! You should know how many germs—” Kojro cuts him off by shoving the spoon between his lips and laughs when Kaoru goes wide-eyed, like Kojiro’s trying to poison him. “Relax,” Kojiro tells him, “it’s not going back in the bowl—I promise.” Kaoru looks at him suspiciously as he grabs the spoon and licks it more tentatively, like a cat unsure of the quality of its water bowl. “It better not,” he grumbles, backing away with the spoon like Kojiro might try to steal it (which he does, but only a few minutes later, seeing as Kaoru’s still absently licking at it, cleaning it to a shine).
44. What are their nicknames for each other?
Apart from the colourful insults they exchange like a love language and the skater names they only use at S, Kaoru’s nicknames for Kojiro include: “Koji” (a nickname from childhood said more fondly now that they’ve grown), “Jiro” (a nickname that emerges primarily when Kaoru is sleepy or drunk), “Koko” (a teasing nickname only used to provoke annoyance), “KJ” (a nickname Kaoru hasn’t used as much since they were teens), and “Ko” (another sleepy nickname).
As for Kojiro’s nicknames for Kaoru, he’s partial to using cute and sappy pet names like princess, precious, love, doll, babe, angel, etc (sometimes he’ll say these sarcastically, but never out of malice). He also uses “Ru” in quiet, tender moments, like when he’s comforting Kaoru or they’re cuddling in bed.
In high school, he’d call Kaoru “Yashiki” when he was annoyed. Kaoru, of course, would say that two could play at that game and start calling Kojiro “Nan,” at which Kojiro would shoot back with “Yash,” and then they were down to “N” and “Y” until all they could do was stick their tongues out at each other until one of them smiled and the other accused in triumph, “Made you smile!” And that would be swiftly denied, but that was a whole other argument.
