Sum1i tipped $5 with a message: "are you celebrating this year's valentine's day? ;) ;)
"I don't know, are you?" Kenma answered the donate, smirking at the camera.
Jutsuuu: ahhh kodzuken, why so secretive for T__T
ruriggi: he's always like that!!!! so annoying
2143Me!: i wish you could at least tell us if you have a partner...
tuyitio: @Sum1i, you just paid kodzuken $5 for him to not even bother with the questions.... ahhh
Kenma looked at the chat and smiled mischievously, leaving the complaints without any comment. He loved to tease his fans about the fact that they couldn't tear any information out of him. At first, it was all to be well-secured in the Internet. Kenma didn't feel like revealing all of the fragile information out to the world, considering his growing position as a somehow recognisable person. Later, it was a whole legend that grew around him.It almost became like his hallmark; the way people didn't know anything about him and his life. Kenma liked it, as he was always pretty withdrawn person. It was funny to look at people making all kinds of assumptions about him, try to guess any tiny secret about his life and never get an answer. The way people associated him with the king of keeping secrets, it only played in his favour. His fans would go crazy trying to tear any information out of him, have fun while doing it and Kenma cooked two birds at one stone. The fans were entertained and so was he. The questions itself weren't even vthe private, overstepping ones, and being honest, Kenma would probably answer most of them. His viewers were pretty respectful, as they all thought kodzuken is very fragile when it comes to revealing anything.
It was just the fact that being secretive became his main point of internet personality, and he couldn't just break that.
This model of business worked for everyone greatly. Everyone besides Kuroo. Kuroo, Kuroo Tetsurou. or just Kuroo, the hidden boyfriend of famously known kodzuken, Tetsurou. It's not like Kuroo wanted to be famous and make his nepo-baby way into the Internet world through Kenma. He just wanted to be a part of the thing that took most of his boyfriend's life. Kuroo wanted to make special appearances for St. Valentine's day or on Kenma's birthday streams. However, Kenma was stubborn as ever when it came to this.
"I am not showing any of my close ones on the internet." He would mumble, making Kuroo roll his eyes.
Kuroo would be laying on their bed, watching the streams on his phone. Streamed by Kenma, through their shared living room. He didn't hold grudges, or make dramas over it. He pretty much accepted his boyfriend decision, but there were moments where he wished to be a known part of Kenma's life. It would probably pretty much validate the importance of his position in Kozume's life.
One pretty random day, Kuroo opened the doors, coming home with the groceries.He was trained, just like a dog, that he should always keep quiet until he is sure that Kenma is off-stream. This time, god only knows what got into him. It was pretty late, so Kuroo kind of suspected that Kenma is already finished. He put down the groceries and walked to the living room.
"Baaaaaby, i'm home!" He yelled loudly, but was not greeted with an answer.
When he made his way to the doors that led to the living room, he was greeted with the view of Kenma awkwardly sitting in front of his computer. Kuroo could feel the sweat flowing down his neck the very moment he realised what exactly is happening.

tweedcycle tipped $20 with a message: "kodzuken what was that!!!! i shoted this but the voice is all mumbly :TTT"
"You see, the spirits are on me today. I think the music I played was so loud that you guys couldn't hear anything, lol." Kenma said, seemingly laughing it off.
.
waterym4ant tipped $15 with a message: "but fr who was this t-t how much tipping for u to tell us......."
"Ten millions in most valuable currency on the market right now." He laughed softly. "But really guys, no need to send me money, i'm okay. Truly so."
triumphsord: but i can swear i have heard baby i'm home lol
patientlive: lmao i heard "may be home"
555angel: damn guys and "i heard lady i'm done" i guess i'm not right in mind
"You know guys, let's say whatever you heard is right and let's just resolve this problem there. but five, five, five, angel, i like this one." Kenma laughed again, giving Kuroo a flat look.
Because yes, Kuroo was still awkwardly standing in front of Kenma. To say he was scared about Kozume getting mad would be an understatement. He was absolutely mortified. Kuroo really didn't want to ruin anything for his boyfriend. He just let that slip out of his mouth, but would never do that on purpose. He thought, at least, that he would never do that.
"I think it's a wrap for today, see you on Thursday! any last questions? Umm, there will not be a live on 14th, I'm busy. Okay guys, bye!" Kenma said, and clicked the button to end a stream.
Kuroo knew this is the moment his life can flip in a way that it never flipped before. More precisely, someone, despite their not so impressive height, can beat his ass. Kenma tilted his head in Kuroo's direction and looked at him blankly. He let a loud sigh out of his throat and stretched himself on the chair.Then put on a cover on the camera and turned off the mic. Kenma was almost paranoid about his live not ending despite him turning the program off.
"I'm so sorry you can't even imagine! I really didn't mean to do that!" Kuroo said without taking a breath. Kenma lifted his brows. "But you never stream thiiiis late. We can check the shots, but I don't think it was clear what i said."
"Kuroo, calm down, take a damn breath!"
"I'm sorry"
"Stop, it happened. I'm not so angry, whatever. It's not like you did it on purpose. " Kenma said, but his tone didn't reveal his real emotions.
"Yeah, but you are protective about this whole stuff. And it was a close one. But really, don't you think it's time to slowly reveal some things about your life?" Kuroo asked, sitting down on the floor.
"Why would i? It works for me." Kenma answered with a question, shrugging.
"Well, I think it's getting ridiculous how obsessed with you your fans are. I think it's almost unsafe now, the opposite of what you want. If we ever go out publicly and someone takes a picture, they will go crazy" Tetsurou murmured, looking down.
Kenma looked at him with a frown on his face and sat down next to him, on the floor. He could see Kuroo's point, but it really all worked for him well. And on the other hand, he was anxious about people knowing so much. Kenma didn't want to put Kuroo on the spot where he wouldn't be able to protect him from hate and exploration. Kenma could handle mean things, as he just didn't care. He had a ton of fans that loved him and sat down by the other side of the screen with him, so why would he bother about some trolls? But kuroo, well, he is not used to being talked about on the internet. There was a real possibility where he could ever regret appearing online, but then, Kenma wouldn't be able to do anything to stop it.
"How do you know exactly what I want?" kKnma asked him quietly.
Tetsurou looked at him and laughed softly. Then he reached to him and kissed him delicately. He put his hands on Kozume's back and rubbed it softly. After that, kKnma laid his head on Kuroo's shoulder and smiled at him. He loved his little reset moments after streams, where he could just lay in Kuroo's arms and let all that overstimulation out. But this time it was even more needed than ever. Tetsurou gave Kenma a little kiss on his forehead and put his hand on his hair, tousling them gently. Just like if Kenma was a little cat in his arms that he could pet all he wanted.
"I know exactly, because I am your boyfriend, hm?"
"Yeah. Yeah, I know. Well, I will think about it all. But you see, they are already firing the twitter up." Kenma laughed, showing Kuroo's some of the tweets he saw under the kodzuken hashtag.

@kanyexkz: baby

@yourlo1iv: he is probably reading it rn and laughing his aah off
Kenma was in fact reading it all laughing his ass off, knowing that it was in fact the word baby, and it was in fact his boyfriend. Kuroo was next to him, pointing out even funnier tweets from his boyfriend's community. But the point was, it was all so harmless. It almost felt like if Kenma was to reveal Kuroo, he would be supported and respected just as before. Kuroo wasn't really reading twitter that often, but also, seeing Kenma's fans being so polite made him calm. Made him feel like when he was leaving his boyfriend, Kenma was in a safe place.
So it went, and fans slowly accepted that Kenma will just not comment any further about this incident. Whenever he was asked about it in donates, he would laugh it off or say something that was clearly sarcastic. That became a little fandom joke, that would be used in clearly all positive intentions. This stream was nothing different. Kenma opened up a new game that he was meaning to start for a while now, laughed a little with the chat and started playing. Also, because Kenma was always extra, he put on his headphones that reduced all the noises beside the game. They had a microphone attached to them, so it wasn't a problem in terms of streaming.
That might be the reason he didn't notice Kuroo sneaking behind him. At first he only waved his hand behind Kenma. He didn't show his face yet, it was only his hand, but it was enough to cause the chaos. tTe chat went absolutely crazy, what Kuroo could also notice, as it was displayed on separate screen. Kenma was so focused on the game he wasn't even glancing at this particular screen.
poochha: WAITWHAT THE FUCK
usticexc: WAITTT WHOSE ARM IS THATWHAT THE FUCK
wabbits: DOES KUDZOKEN EVEN KNOW ABT THIS HE IS NOTLOOKING
bunms: yooooo IS THAT BAAAAABY????
Kuroo barely kept his laugh in. He knew that what he wanted to do required him to do it fastly, any other variant was an instant fail. He stood behind Kenma and revealed his face. His hair was extra spiky, face extra clean and shaved nicely. He put a lot of effort in looking his best. He saw the chat going even more crazy, as he showed his face and smiled behind unbothered Kenma, who was completely unaware of what was happening (literally) behind his back.
That's where Kuroo went for it. He leaned in front of Kenma and put his hands on his cheeks. The force made Kenma's headphones fall on his shoulders, and that's when Kuroo gave his boyfriend a little, gentle kiss on the lips. After that, he instantly stood up and tousled Kenma's hair. And just like that, Kuroo ran away, leaving Kenma absolutely disbelieved.
"KUROO!!!!! YOU JUST CAN'T DO THAT" He hissed, looking behind him, but there was no Kuroo in sight anymore.
rummytim: KUROO YOU ARE THE HERO
00opp: OH MY GOD I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS
lapkazi: NO FUCKING WAY I'VE FOUND PEACE IN MY LIFE
201sk: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
-Pto_: kuroo you are our hero T_____Ttttttt
606tippie: omg i just won $20 bet on twitter with my oomf
kodzukenFAN: no way gay!kenma confirmed this is the happiest day of my life
404yakuyaku tipped $50 with a message: "Wait... is this mr baaaby i'm home..."
Kenma heard the message from the donate get displayed out loud and just sighed. He wasn't surprised it would eventually happen, knowing Kuroo's temperament, but it was still a huge shock. For some reason, he wasn't even this mad, it was funny how every and each of fifty thousands people watching him right now went absolutely crazy just by seeing his boyfriend.
"You know, I don't even care anymore. YEAH. This is mr baaaby i'm home, stupid Kuroo. Ahhh guys, you won this one." Kenma said, trying to hold his laugh, but he couldn't. He just laughed out loud, seeing the chat go even more feral and crazy.
I''m not opening twitter today, that's for sure." He mumbled after a second.
And when he finished his streams, he ran like an angry cat to their bedroom, knowing that Kuroo would be here. It was just like he was waiting for a punishment, sitting on the corner of the bed, smiling brightly. Kenma stood in the doorway, looking at him frowned.
"Are you proud of yourself, pretty boy?" Kenma murmured.
Pretty much... Everyone on twitter thinks I'm super handsome and that we match just perfectly. And i satisfied your fans. I don't think you should be mad." Kuroo explained himself, seemingly happy about the outcome of his action.
Kenma looked at him, knowing that he can't even pretend to be mad. He just came in his direction, pushing him softly on the bed. When Kuroo laid down, he laid himself on top of him. Tetsurou's arms got him covered, and as he was rubbing his back softly, Kenma was reading all of the comments about this situation. hH was trying to find some mean one's to prove his point, but all of them were either nice, or funny. Wo when he couldn't find a proof, he put his phone down and kissed his boyfriend's cheek.
And that was pretty much how Kuroo fought his way into the internet life of his famously known boyfriend, kodzuken.
