[The red sleeve of a hoodie appears on the right of the frame.]
“Sorry guys, my b-roommate’s just grabbing something real quick. Ignore the sleeve. Actually, since I passed that level, I might take a little break and talk to you guys for a bit, how’s that? Ok? Ok.”
iwannabeaworm did u struggle with that lvl at all ???

poppoppop kodzuken you’re really bad at keeping secrets
[Pointedly ignoring the comments, Kenma goes back to looking at the comments to answer questions]
“Um…the next stream will be a collab, but I’ll leave the person anonymous for now. Mocha’s alive and well. She’s been a little sleepy lately so that’s a sign that spring will come strong. And if I were a fish? Probably a salmon.”
[In the background, a playful but deep voice is heard.]
“That’s the only fish you know, isn’t it.”

kodzukensolos see yall were talking abt the roommate but kodzuken is so hot omfg
“Hey Kenma, weird question, but what the fuck are your fans on?”
“What happened to hi? Hello? How’s it going?”
[Kuroo, upon entering Kenma’s office, slams his phone down on the desk, and goes to lie face-flat on the floor.]
“Shut up. Look.”
“Kuro, I am looking. Ok, so what if ‘Mr Red Sleeve’ is trending on twitter? It’s not like they know your face.”
[Lifting up his head ever so slightly, Kuroo turns to face Kenma who is looking down with a slightly amused expression.]
”Exactly! That’s my exact point! They’re saying weird as shit about me, and you, and us, and its so gross like-”
[Agonisingly, he drops his head back onto the floor.]
“What a drama queen. Kuro, we’ll be fine. In fact-”
[Kenma pauses for a second, as if wanting to say more, but then closes his mouth and turns off the phone.]
“In fact what? C’mon, what were you gonna say?”
“You’re gonna call me stupid.”
“Yeah, probably. But that’s ok because you’ll call me stupid for my response too.”
“Fair enough. What if we showed them that we’re together?”
“Showed? What?”
“Fucking idiot. Like, just little things until they get the hint. They’ll figure it out soon enough. I mean, they once figured out that I hadn’t eaten before my stream because of my aura or whatever. What even is my aura?”
“Sick of life? In a constant state of being perplexed? Despair?”
“I feel like I should be insulted.”
“Yeah you should, but your idea isn’t half bad! As expected of my Kenma.”
[He slowly pushes himself up of the floor and walks over to the desk.]
“Are you ok with it, though? I know you don’t like them knowing your personal life.”
“Nah, it’s fine. They need to lay off the red sleeve thing too.”
“Aw, are you jealous?”
[Even though Kenma knows it was sarcastic from the overemphasised doll eyes and slurred vowels, he still rolls his eyes at Kuroo.]
“Yeah, I am. Totally. Mhm.”
“Oh don’t be a dick.”
“Only for you.”
“Let’s go out tomorrow. We can take a photo or something there.”

kodzuken 2h •••X
[posted is a story of five consecutive images: one taken with a quarter of Kenma’s face and his eyes widened, one taken of another person’s (seemingly a man’s) back, one with a checkered sneaker resting on top of a red sneaker that has been doodled over, one with two cups of bubble tea being held in a ‘cheers’ position, and one of Kenma’s back; obviously taken by someone else. The song ‘Lovers Rock’ by TV Girl is playing in the background.]

Love is in the Air for our Gaming Industry!

Love is in the air! Everywhere I look around! Love is in the air! And isn’t that true nowadays. With modern technology and the advanced capabilities to communicate online, I swear, everywhere I turn there’s a new couple. And this isn’t limited to only cringy (but guilty pleasure) reality TV, no it is not. That’s right, even in the gaming community, there are new speculations and rumours bursting at the seams, and here are some of the juiciest ones about some of the world’s best players. (Reminder, this is all fun and games. Please reach out if you are uncomfortable with anything written.)

Mr Red Sleeve
Now, this one’s a little bit of a new one. Some new and fresh tea just for you guys! So, on Kozume’s previous stream titled ‘checking out ur recs’ (click here to watch), at around 31:49, a red sleeve appeared in the corner of his screen. Upon finishing the level of the game Kodzuken was playing, he decided to draw attention away from the sleeve and begin a small Q and A section, in which he answered around five questions from the viewer’s chat function. Upon answering the question “if u were a fish, what fish do you think you would be?” from user @k1k0, watchers were able to hear a sneaky comeback in the background — an boy oh boy did fans go crazy over it. This voice was immediately dubbed ‘Mr Red Sleeve’ (quite accurately, in all honesty. Kudos to the fan who decided this!). And that was our first introduction to Mr Red Sleeve.
Since then, Kozume has posted several social media posts with the same recurring figure, and many hypothesise for this anonymous person to be the infamous Mr Red Sleeve. While he is not wearing red sleeves in all of his outfits (truly a shame), his height, general figure and appearance, and the posts he appears in have a similar pattern. Yet, despite this seemingly random yet welcomed development in Kozume’s personal life, he himself is still yet to release any official information about the red sleeved man. This air of mystery has led fans to become suspicious, and some serious conspiracies are going on around twitter right now! You can see this twitter thread and this reddit post for more information about this anonymous, faceless addition to the Kodzuken Lore (trademarked) (not really). Kozume’s posts about Mr Red Sleeve can be seen here, here, and here, and be sure to check out his gaming content while you’re at it!

[Posted is a story three consecutive images: one taken of Kenma in a shopping trolley, in a aisle of chips with various sweet beverages in the background. The second is a selfie of Kenma looking up at something (read: someone) with the slightest of slight smiles on his face as he is holding two drinks with one hand. The third and final image is of Kenma sleeping on what appears to be a couch, taken from another person’s perspective. The faint light of the television is casted on his face, and on the coffee table seen in the corner of the image, are two bags of opened chips and two empty bottles of lychee flavoured Ramune and royal milk tea. It is captioned “isn’t he so cute when he sleeps”, and the song ‘I Don’t Wanna Be Okay Without You’ by Charlie Burg is playing.]

@MEOWMEOWBITCH
I love men who are confident in their friendships sm ! Let’s end toxic masculinity !
“Kenma, your fans are stupid.”
[Kenma rolls around on the floor to face Kuroo.]
“No seriously, we’ve been doing this for like a month at this point at they still think that we’re just friends. When was the last time you posted shrimpy to fuckin’ lover.” [Kuroo pauses at this moment, emphasising the importance of the Taylor Swift song.] “By fuckin’ t’swizzle? Or double take. Or fucking Laufey. Who the fuck posts their friends to Laufey? Friends??? What the fuck.”
“Kuro, calm down. We can make a real post if you want. Like one that no one can argue with.”
“Oh? What would that entail?”
“Who the fuck says entail in a day-to-day conversation?”
“Your one and only.”
[Kenma turns back around on the floor and shuts his eyes.]
“No seriously, so far it’s just been our pinkies and shit. What if we kissed instead? You know, really pushing the realness like you said.”

kodzuken 2h •••X
[posted is a story of six images: one with child Kenma and child Kuroo playing volleyball in an old field taken on a film camera. The second being at Kenma’s high school graduation with Kuroo hugging him; Kenma’s head fits just under Kuroo’s chin and all the other people in the image have been blurred out, making the focal point them and only them. The third is another boba date, except both of their faces are clearly in it; Kenma looks mildly distressed while Kuroo appears incredibly amused. The fourth is one of them in bed where Kenma’s face can barely be seen from under the covers, whereas Kuroo is looking at him rather than the camera — his eyes are so incredibly soft that viewers can feel the adoration radiating from their personal phone screens. The fifth one is their actual pinkies linked together — they are no longer hiding with shadows but willing to share the light. The sixth is a mirror selfie of the two kissing; the phone covers their lips but anyone and everyone could tell what they’re doing. The song ‘Night Changes’ by One Direction is playing. The entire story is sickeningly sweet.]

@kozumekenma
yes, mr red sleeve is my boyfriend. not just a friend, or roommate, or person I’m pining over, but my boyfriend. he is my world and more — my entire existence really. i cannot imagine my life without him. you may have seen kuro before cuz he is in the japan volleyball association and some sport division thing. if you’ve watched me for long enough, you’ll know that I’m actually a huge greek mythology nerd — in plato’s symposium, aristophanes talks abt how all humans used to have four arms, four legs, and basically double everything. zeus felt intimidated so he split those humans in halves and now we live in misery while yearning for our other half. but i found mine. i live with mine. i love mine. even if plato meant this as satire, i think it’s awfully accurate because i would only be half of myself without kuro by my side everyday. “These are people who finish out their lives together and still cannot say what it is they want from one another” — i could learn every language in the world and still not have enough words for how much i love kuroo tetsurou.

“Hey, Kenma.”
“Yeah?”
“This person wants to know how we met, can I tell them?”
“Go ahead.”
“Aw hell yeah, ur fav left kidney, you are not gonna believe this.”
