I never really did things with my parents much. Kuro would always be the one dragging me out or over to his place on holidays. [ Though it might sound like it's an annoyance, Kenma is decidedly glad for it. Holly Heights has made him more appreciative of his childhood friend, not wanting to take what they have for granted as he thinks he had before. He glances up toward Tsukishima and then away to the side, lips pursed in a semblance of thought. ] Now that we're together, we can do a lot of things like this. Celebrating holidays and special occasions.

Mm, we...used to do holiday things, all four of us, but after I had my falling out with my brother, he didn't come home to celebrate after moving out. It felt wrong to do things with just the three of us, so it just sort of stopped.

[even though they've been together for a while, he doesn't think he's told kenma the whole story about akiteru. not because he doesn't trust him, but just because it feels...strangely pathetic, like he's worried kenma might scoff at how something like that could leave such a scar on him. it's a blanket fear that extends to anyone who might hear, which is precisely why he doesn't talk about it.

but thinking about celebrating with kenma is a much happier thought, and he lets his lips quirk up in response to his words.]

I like it. Getting gifts for you and doing things that I associate with family. [like sitting at the kotatsu and eating oranges as they wait for the new year, eating cake on birthdays and exchanging gifts at christmas. it's like building traditions, and starting a family that's his.]
