Headcanons

Tetsurou Kuroo

TW FOR PARENTS LEAVING, SEPARATION ANXIETY, EMETOPHOBIA,  NAIL BITING

-High pain tolerance. This is mostly due to the fact he has two older brothers who would wrestle him on the daily so he has built up a pretty strong tolerance for pain.

-He rarely gets sick. He has a pretty good immune system but if he does get sick he tries to push through.

-Emetophobic absolutely hates throwing up. If he does throw up he can't eat or drink anything for hours because he cannot deal with the feeling of something in his throat. This usually leads to him getting dehydrated.

-He usually runs hot so he gets fevers that make him cold, the first sign of him being ill would be him wearing more than one hoodie or jumper.

-I actually don't have a fear headcanon for Kuroo so if anyone would like to request one go ahead.

-He has the fortune of not having an anxiety disorder but as everyone does he gets anxious from time to time. He's been dealing with Kenma's anxiety and panic attacks since they were kids but that doesn't make him any less upset when they happen. He can help Kenma calm down and get through a panic attack but after he gets worried and tries to keep an eye on him.

-He has abandonment issues because of his mother leaving and panics when his father isn't home when he gets home from school as he usually is. especially is he hasn't called yet.

-As a child he was introverted and usually didn't stray far from Kenma or his father when he was out. Playing volleyball really helped him get out of his shell but sometimes he gets bad days and can get socially exhausted when at parties.

-He is an insomniac, him and Kenma pull weekly allnighters together. Because of the insomnia he is addicted to caffeine, he cannot function in the mornings without it. Kenma keeps caffeine candies in his bag just in case Kuroo runs out of time to make or buy a coffee. If he didn't have a coffee by 8am and migraine will follow soon.

-His biggest insecurity would have to be his hair. He can never get it to look right or to get out of his bedhead. The way he sleeps (pushing two pillows to the sides of his head laying face down) is that way because it was to block out the sounds of his parents fighting. It is now just a habit. A lot of people comment on it. Some think he's going through an emo stage, some think he's trying to look cool and others think it looks horrible and are not afraid to tell him. Which therefore leads to insecurity. Sometimes if it's really bad he'll wear a beanie or a hat.

-I headcanon that Kuroo has two older brothers. Not twins. They're both really supportive of him and try to go to his games. They live in different parts of Tokyo. One is still in Uni Naoko and the other has graduated Mashiro. They visit often, they know about the abandonment issues and that them moving out probably didn't help so they come to see Kuroo when they have the time. They are both really protective of Kuroo and got into arguments when dad would leave Kuroo at home alone when he was young. They also see Kenma as a little brother as he grew up with Kuroo. Kenma oftens goes with Kuroo when he visits them. His parents divorced when he was 6. The divorce caused a huge tear in the family with 10 year old Mashiro having a breakdown and screaming at Kuroo that it was his fault. Mashiro is really trying to be a better brother now.
