001 - BLLK BOYS as COLLEGE BOYFRIENDS
(exhibit a)
ཐིཋྀ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ ﹙⚽﹚@Nagi Seishiro ﹗!
𐄹. College boyfriend! Nagi Seishiro is a homebody who loves spending his time cozied up in the living room as he plays his video games while you’re on the other side of the couch, doing your own thing.
𐄹. He’s the type to go non-verbal for a few hours whilst he’s occupied but would pull you close just to feel your warmth. He loves sharing his space with you and it’s evident in the way he constantly finds reasons to have you sit on his lap. Each time, he comes up with a new excuse to keep you from leaving his arms, doesn’t matter if it sounds absurd sometimes.
“I need my lucky charm, okay? Just stay still.”
“I need to beat this hassle of a boss in the game, and you know I can’t concentrate when you’re not here.”
“I read online that having one’s partner on their lap, as an athlete, is also considered training.”
𐄹. When you’re out on campus together, he doesn’t notice that you’re practically the couple who consistently draws glances from other students due to the amount of affection you both display publicly. It’s unintentional, but fortunately, it’s the sort of staring that’s either envy or admiration that you get, rather than scandalized ones.
𐄹. As you walk side by side through the field before his training starts, he would keep his arm encircled around your hips in an intimate and protective embrace. That way, he can easily protect you from careless people who walk like they own the place or any potential dangers.
𐄹. He hates doing chores but somehow, he finds himself tidying up your shared apartment (or at least he tries) while you’re still in class because he knows it’ll help you relax coming home to a clean environment.
𐄹. Ever since he started dating you, he’s become so much more responsible than he used to be. He’s no longer the dead weight Nagi Seishiro who finds everything a hassle because you make everything worth it. You’ve taught him so much about life to the point that he started picking up on your habits unknowingly but he wouldn’t have it any other way.
ཐིཋྀ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ ﹙⚽﹚@Bachira Meguru ﹗!
𐄹. College boyfriend! Bachira Meguru is quite an odd ball which makes him all the more endearing. All that talk about him being “a monster” only for him to be the sweetest goofball in the entire world.
𐄹. He loves the things you love and he dislikes the things you dislike no matter how petty the reason could be.
𐄹. Oh, that one friend is starting to give you the ick whom, mind you, he has never met but basically know everything about because you give him all the tea? Yeah, okay. He absolutely will absolutely cringe at the mere mention of their name now.
𐄹. He’s such a good listener too and is the observant type. You don’t even need to say anything because he already knows what it is you’re feeling or thinking.
𐄹. Bachira Meguru is also adventurous. He likes trying out new things with you but ends up getting lazy halfway through them anyway so you both decided to create a list of things you wanna try with the most manageability at the top and the least at the bottom.
𐄹. He’s always so active when he’s awake, always needing to do something to occupy himself like learning how to do your hair or helping you with the laundry. Sometimes though, he lets you put make up on him while he talks your ear off before eventually falling asleep mid-conversation. When there are classes you share together, he makes sure to sit next to you and hold your other hand so he can play with them or else his attention would go elsewhere which results in him getting scolded by the professors sometimes.
𐄹. He just feels so safe with you and doesn’t feel the need to suppress himself because he knows that you will love him regardless. After all, you’ve reassured him time and time again that his whimsicality is one of his charms and that it’s one of the many reasons why you love him.
ཐིཋྀ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ ﹙⚽﹚@Barou Shouei ﹗!
𐄹. College boyfriend! Barou Shouei’s love language is acts of service. It is a given fact that he often struggles in expressing himself through words with his callousness getting the better of him at most times so he resorts to the one thing he’s good at: showing you much he cares through his actions.
𐄹. His perfectionist mentality pushes him to do everything in his power to make you content and happy. There is never a day that goes without him pampering you even in the simplest of ways.
𐄹. It has become his morning routine to wake you up with a gentle kiss to the forehead before preparing your usual breakfast, made carefully with love. If he has early morning classes and you don’t or when he is out of town for a match, he will still find ways to make sure you’re eating on time and taking care of yourself. He’s the real-life embodiment of “If he really wants to, he would.”
𐄹. He doesn’t often say those “nauseating three words” (Shouei Barou, on his birthday) but when he does, he makes sure that it’ll be unforgettable for both you and him and that you feel his heartfelt sincerity when he says them.
𐄹. He knows you have a love/hate relationship with his hairstyle as well but he remains consistent with it just to get a rise out of you but on special occasions (like when he missed you terribly after being away for 2 months due to training), he’ll let you style his hair the way you want it and keeps it until he has to leave again.
𐄹. When he’s away and surrounded by his feral and untidy teammates, he would constantly look at the picture he has of you displayed on his phone’s homescreen, thinking about your gentleness and your lovely smile.
𐄹. He would never admit it though. Not to himself, not to you, not to anyone ever. Besides, who cares if he rarely talks about you? You’re constantly in his mind anyway and when he does talk about you, he has nothing but praises for you.
“Your cooking is shit. My girlfriend is bad at cooking but at least hers is edible. Yours is just trash and that’s saying something.” - Shouei Barou to his teammate.
ཐིཋྀ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ ﹙⚽﹚@Michael Kaiser ﹗!
𐄹. College boyfriend! Michael Kaiser’s relationship with you is the definition of enemies to lovers. He likes to get on your nerves, enjoying the way your face would scrunch into an indescribable frown when he pisses you off only to kiss you just as you’re about to curse him out in all the languages you know.
𐄹. He finds it incredibly amusing when he blocks your path on your way to go to class, the incessant ringing of the bell accompanying your endless tirade about him being a prick. He merely towers over you with that crazy (read: pretty) smile of his. “Yeah? Tell me more, mein schatz.” You don’t even notice when he starts backing you up against the lockers, hindering you from leaving without any ounce of care about being late or the imminent scolding you’re both about to get.
𐄹. He has the habit of calling you different endearments, most especially German ones, knowing it gets you so flustered. It gives him his daily confidence boost when you stammer and avoid eye contact with him while talking.
𐄹. He’s pretty arrogant which annoys you most of the time, especially when he uses his antics on you. “You know, you’re very lucky I went out of my way to accept your confession.”
𐄹. In truth, he knows he’s the lucky one because he got himself a loving girl who still stays with him despite his shortcomings and ill-mannered behavior. Oh, and for the record, it was him that was gagging to date you, not the other way around.
𐄹. Sometimes though, he can’t help but think that you’re just putting up with him out of sympathy because of his history which puts him in a foul mood but every time, you never fail to remind him that you’re with him because you love him.
𐄹. Your love taught him so many things he never imagined was possible for him to even grasp, and yes, it might take him long to fully be able to understand but with you, he’s willing to open his heart and be patient. You’ve sacrificed so much for him, what’s a little time spent in warming up to the idea of being vulnerable compared to that?
