#hakaze kaoru

he's in the deep end guys

he's literally suffering, begging on his knees, pleading for a chance to get a date with you JUST ONCE

you have some mindblowing rizz to get this man to look at you one day and be yearning for you LIKE CRAZYYYYY

kaoru wants this cookie so bad guys, he will probably be trying to bag you FOR MONTHS it's not even funny to him or his friends anymore

he has used the gigantic whiteboard in the dance practice rooms just to strategize with his unit mates how he can rizz you up enough to properly bag you and make the two of you official

i wouldn't say he's a yandere, but he's just so down bad he cannot possibly imagine being in a romantic relationship with someone who isn't you

he even asks his roommates, who are arguably worse at giving romantic advice

if you don't know or can't remember, his roommates are nagisa and yuta.

yeah

not to say that neither of them would give the worst advice known to mankind, but they're not the most experienced with romance

so, he's just stuck

until one of his feature events are put under your love and care, and he gets to have an excuse to hang out with you for a few days while it's in production

everyone say thank you to queen anzu!!!!

the two of you discuss like normal people, and somehow that's what gets you to realize that you can trust and love him like everyone seemingly can because he has grown up and matured

like you look at him bragging about how happy his sister is with her husband (look to the sustain memory event for reference), and he's really just a big sweetheart

perhaps it is a bit mean of you to just judge him based on his high school days, and probably more immature of you to completely avoid and reject him because of that

so when you finally agree to a date, kaoru does a triple take because omgomgomgomg it's happening omg it's happening he can't believe his ears or eyes because the sight of you shyly agreeing to his date and nodding all cutely is sosososo heartwarming to him-

you can bet he screams into his pillow and kicks his feet like a high school girl once he gets to his room

the date, of course, goes well, and it turns into two, three, then four-

you two make it official to ONLY HIS UNIT MATES AND KEITO initially

keito is sprouting white hair at the news, but he can't really stop the two of you from being so happy together because he knows it's been a long time coming

so he agrees to let you bag kaoru on the condition that you do NOT go on dates publicly

which is fine, kaoru LOVESSS stay-at-home dates

he loves coddling you and kissing you in the comfort of your room even more

just TOUCHING YOUR HAND is a blessing to him
