[kazewhara]

college au kazuha who...

...is a creative writing major bc i make the rules around here. (also bc i'm a creative writing major <3)

...wears glasses to read!

...gets so invested in the books he reads that he won't pay attention to his glasses slipping off his face

...has a focus in poetry, so rather than spend his time writing books, he dedicates most of his time studying the history of poets, playwrights, and bards alike; that sort of thing

...is a huge shakespeare nerd. he will quote shakespeare off the top of his head, and no, you cannot stop him

...has a little library in his apartment! so many bookshelves filled with texts from all walks of life -- new ones, old ones, hand-me-downs, etc.

...wears cardigans that are always just a little too big? not to the point where you can't see his hands, but the sleeves end roughly at the center of his palms

...embodies the light academia aesthetic. iykyk.

...cannot stand bitter coffee. he'll default to tea most of the time, but if coffee is the only option, it has to be 90% sugar... the madman.

...has a habit of peering up at you over the rim of his glasses and smiling before returning his focus on whatever he's doing.

...can and will entertain any literary discussion that comes up. he may be poetry-centered, but kazuha is very well-versed in just about everything literature related. a true liberal arts major, this one is.

...will fall asleep reading books with his cheek in his palm, and will adamantly deny that he's falling asleep when you catch him.

...cannot do math to save his life. well, he can, and he's really good at it, but he hates it.

bonus:

"you're going to hurt your eyes if you keep wearing my glasses like that, angel." kazuha chuckles when you make a face as you hover his glasses over your eyes. "they're really not all that fascinating, i can assure you."

you slip his glasses on your face and blink rapidly, stunned by how strong the prescription is. "jesus christ, you didn't tell me you were blind!" you exclaim. you feel around for kazuha to make sure you're not too far away from him. it's incredibly dramatic on your part; you two are sitting right next to each other. "this is 'cause you read those tiny letters all the time, isn't it?"

kazuha rolls his eyes fondly. "sure, something like that. now, may i have them back? i have to finish my assignment."

you shake your head. "wait, wait, i wanna see what you see for a while." your boyfriend sighs and plucks his glasses off your face, huffing a laugh when you whine. "you're no fun."

kazuha slips his glasses on and looks you over a few times before hooking a finger under your chin and kissing you lovingly, silencing your complaints. you're shocked, but you soften anyways.

"not that i'm complaining," you murmur when he pulls away, "but what was that for?"

rather than answer you, kazuha kisses you again, swallowing the little noises of surprise you make whenever he tugs at your bottom lip. he pulls away after a while and gives you another once over with a small, yet incredibly smug, smile.

"if only you could see what i see." his words are cryptic and offer no explanation. he doesn't even answer your question from earlier. kazuha ignores your demand for an answer and chuckles when you reluctantly get back to work.

every so often, he'll look up to find you already gazing at him, and he'll never get over the way his heart skips when you avert your eyes when you realize you've been caught.
