"I'm not nervous."
You stare at kuroo with a knowing look and he immediately crumbles.
"Yeah okay, maybe I am. I just think I can ignore it if I try hard enough." Pursuing your lips, you walk over to the mirror where he stands. His hair seems to be more unruly than usual, and he visibly stresses over it. A soft sigh escapes your lips and he turns to look at you. Pouty lips and wide eyes, your husband looks like a desperate kitten.
"Hey if you don't stop looking at me like that you're never gonna get to actually leave the house." His cheeks glow red and a grin decorates his face. You gingerly wrap your arms around his neck.
"Yeah well, the way this preparation is going, I don't mind spending the day with you." You hum in understanding, fingers fixing his collar. He keeps fidgeting with it so much that you have to slap his hands away at this point.
You knew tetsurō was a very nervous man. 'Guess you could say all my systems are nervous' he'd obnoxiously laugh out when you tried to calm him down. For such a stupid joke, the sigh you'd let out everytime he cracks the joke would always turn into a fit of giggles as both of you lose it. When you started going out, he'd been weirdly good at hiding how nervous he'd truly be. He could hide the shake of his hands when he asked you out, the trembling of his fingers when he first kissed you, and the twitching of his eyes when he told you the three magical words.
But it didn't take more than a few months with him to identify his patterns : picking at his nails, fidgeting with something with the excuse of fixing it, pulling at his hair (sometimes that got really bad). And it took you a few days to figure out how to calm your fidgety lover down; he was simple though, really. All it took was a distraction, and you've found you're really good at being one. Especially now when he was stressing over a promotion that both of you knew he deserved.
"Say tetsu." You start.
"Hm?"
"I was talking to your sister the other day-" "-oh no-" "-hey, she's really sweet and fun to talk to!"
He turns to face you, "she's only sweet to you because she tells you about all these embarrassing stories about me." His cheeks are starting to redden and you bite your cheek to hold back a smile. "Both of you have fun each time you talk at my expense."
"Yeah well, how else was I supposed to know that you cried over five feet apart?" He groans. "That's the thing, you weren't supposed to know!!"
"Uh, yes I was. I needed to know that my future husband would be a hopeless romantic. The cutest," you pause to boop his nose, "most emotional dork."
He shrugs your hands off at this point and turns to look at you, completely forgetting the mirror. You smile giddily at your success of your distraction; you can practically see the gears in his head turn away from the promotion. "I am not emotional, I'm only softhearted thank you very much."
"Yeah tetsu you're a tooootal softie."
"Well now I don't want to be a softie anymore." He turns to walk to the door, picking up his keys on the way. You follow him with a bounce in your step, "hey you didn't even hear what she had to say this time!"
He walks faster, "I'm not sure I want to darling."
"Oh my god we're on darling bases right now, are you asking for a divorce?" You follow all the way to the door and then stand to watch in entertainment as he rushes to unlock it.
He stops to stare at you for a second. You halt in your steps at the sudden quiet and stare back. Before you can process it, you're suddenly engulfed in a kiss that pulls you to the tip of your toes just to keep up with him. His arms snake their way around your waist, you swear he was standing a whole mile from you a minute ago; you can hear his loud heartbeat matching with your own. Your lips turn up in a comfortable smile as his hands trace circles on your back. You may be good at giving him distractions, but tetsurō was way better at sweeping you off your feet.
When you pull away, you're greeted with the sight of his flushed face. Maybe the kiss lasted longer than it felt, because you're both gasping for air. But the sly smile that sits on his lips makes you want to just kiss him again — had you had enough time that is.
"Woah casanova, what was that for? A simple goodbye kiss would suffice."
He pinches your side teasingly, "nope, had to teach you a listen, you little brat." He rubs his nose against yours and then joins your foreheads. "I also had to remind you that I love you so much it's unbearable sometimes. You've gotten really good at distracting me."
You gasp, offended, "goddamit you noticed." "Only a little." He pecks your lips lightly, looking at you with dreamy eyes after.
You're out of his arms now, pushing him towards the door. "Okay shoo now, you gotta go and do well on this so you can stop worrying about it." "You're so eager to get me out of here, is there something you're hiding darling?"
"Get out." "Okay okay sorry." He stumbles to the door again.
You watch him walk out the door warmly, happy knowing that he has more control on his nerves right now. But then you remember.
"Wait tetsurō!"
He turns, "yeah?"
"I love you too."
"I know."
