here’s 500 words of domestic fluff! on ao3 here.

warnings for brief mentions of food poisoning and subsequent hospitalization. also written for the ‘it didn’t come with instructions’ square on my teen wolf bingo card!

Beyond the glass of the living room window, Kira can see nothing but hints of streetlight and a wall of rain.

It’s been raining on and off for most of the day, but only in the last hour has it turned into an outright downpour. Long streaks of water are running down the window and the rhythmic beat of it grows louder and softer intermittently. No headlights pierce the night and even the sickly orange glow of the streetlights is barely visible, dim as the ember of a cigarette in the vast expanse of the dark night.

Kira sighs dejectedly and drops her chin to her crossed arms.

So much for date night.

“It’s still coming down pretty hard, huh?” Boyd asks, stepping up behind her and dropping one broad hand between her shoulder blades. Kira nods and leans back slightly into his touch.

“Don’t think it’s going to stop anytime soon,” she mumbles and, on cue, the rain starts to lash even harder against the already soaked glass. “I just checked Facebook, and they cancelled movies in the park. I don’t think they’re planning on rescheduling.”

“I’m sorry,” Boyd says, stooping over and kissing the top of her head. She leans back against his stomach, just taking a moment to bask in the contact. As always, he’s unreasonably warm, comfy in a t-shirt while she’s huddled in one of his sweaters to keep away the cold.

“We can still have a date,” Boyd mumbles after awhile, thumb slowly brushing up and down along Kira’s spine.

Drinks all of the coffee: kira is always a slut for coffee and boyd always drinks some too bc although he knows it doesn’t do anything for him he knows she’s v proud of how she makes it and it’s important to her so he drinks it anyway

Brings up adopting a pet: YES but kira is a dog person and boyd is (ironically) a cat person so they surprise each other with both (”oH MY GOD YOU DID NOT BRING HOME A DOG FOR ME??” “kira u brought home a cat on the same fucking day jesus”

Kills the bugs: they both put them outside bc “BUGS  HAVE SOULS, BOYD” “okay i promise i’ll put them outside”

Cooks the meals: whoever’s home

Starts getting into holidays way before they should: KIRA and boyd does not mind one little bit at all he puts on the santa clause hat and starts carving the pumpkins the minute she brings it out

Initiates the couple selfies: kira always

Forgets the birthdays and anniversaries: neither

Always ends up with too much junk food after grocery shopping: both

Nicknames the other: boyd calls kira “ki ki,” “kir,” “special k,” “hon” (though he always spells it “hun” because he thinks it’s funny), and “babe.” kira uses “b,” “baby,” “love,” “vern,” “v,” and “doll.”

being that they were in different houses and their last names were at opposite ends of the alphabet, it seemed odd that kira yukimura and vernon boyd became friends. no one quite understood, but they were attached at the hip. from the time the nervous muggleborn boyd (he preferred not to go by vernon - it was an “old man name,” he felt) met the excited and bubbly half-born kira on the train they were inseparable - except for when they had to go back to their respective house dorms.

boyd was a ravenclaw and kira was a hufflepuff. most things in school came naturally to boyd. however, when it came to learning the patronus charm, he was an absolute disaster. he couldn’t hold onto a happy memory long enough to produce anything more than a sad, blue mist. kira, on the other hand, who was a pretty average student, managed the patronus on her first try. whenever she could, kira would conjure up the translucent fox and make it run in circles around boyd.
