#the dates kusuo plans are just like hanging out at home or walking to a quiet park or secluded cafe

[oceanwithouthermoon]

thinking about.. kuboyasu insisting that he take saiki on "proper dates..."

saiki obviously refuses to let him drop out so they can just start working and get married but kubo insists on at least getting a part-time so he can spoil him...

Saiki’s mom calls out to her son, “Ku! Check who’s at the door for me, please?”

Saiki nods. He’s already heard the inner voice of whoever rung the doorbell to his home– he knows it’s you, and he knows why you’re there.

“Belated happy birthday, Saiki! Sorry I’m late, I didn’t know your birthday at first.”

Now, he needs a way out.

First, he accepts your gift. Maybe you’ll leave after he takes it. Of course, Saiki can’t just rudely shut the door on you– he doesn’t want to hurt your feelings get scolded by his mom. So, he engages in small talk. “It’s alright. You got the month right, at least. The only ones who greeted me correctly are Mera, Aiura and– to my surprise– Toritsuka.”

Confused, you ask, “And who... got the month wrong?”

“Everyone else. We partied in May. Is that all?”

Saiki tunes in to your thoughts, and he’s hopeful he’ll spend the rest of the day alone. Yes? No? I wanted to hang out, but maybe not? He clings onto that “maybe not” of yours.

Like any other person, you get curious. You ask him again, “No...? May? You guys partied in May?”

“It’s a long story,” he says. He’s hearing your (still) inquisitive thoughts. Saiki internally sighs. I need to get this over with, quick. There’s a show I want to watch that airs at 4:30 PM. It’s only 1 PM, but time is fast. He steps to the side, allowing you to walk past the gate. He doesn’t know why he’s letting you in. Saiki takes off his footwear before entering his house, and you do the same.

Saiki announces his presence to his mom, as well as yours. “Oh, dear! Are you here to celebrate Ku’s birthday? Have you eaten lunch already?”

You nod in response to both questions from Saiki’s mom. “Well, I’m not too sure about the celebration part... I figured I’d just give Saiki his gift, then leave–”

Saiki’s mom shakes her head. “No, stay! You obviously made the effort to come all the way here. Stay as long as you’d like.”

Good grief. Saiki forgot to take his mother’s friendly nature into account...

“Okay, I’ll stay.”

... As well as your politeness. Not to mention, the fact you’ve been looking for opportunities to be alone with him.

So, you and Saiki head up to his room.

You two aren’t the closest of friends. Sure, you’d go straight for him when you needed a partner for school and you two would sometimes walk home together, but you aren’t as close to him as Nendou and the others.

That doesn’t stop you from having feelings for Saiki, though. What started as a silly crush to help you pass the time in class developed into full-on fantasies of going on dates with him.

Usually, Saiki wouldn’t mind such things when it came to people like you– people who don’t act on their feelings– because that means he wouldn’t need to actively avoid you, but you confused him.

Saiki sometimes wanted nothing more than to ask you about your feelings for him, but that just felt uncharacteristic for him to do.

He wants you to act on your feelings– tell him how you feel. For what reason? He cannot put a pin on it. Not yet.

Saiki opens the door to his room, letting you enter first.

You sit on the foot of his bed and ask, “Did you have fun?”

Saiki sits on the chair in his room, which isn’t too far from you, before answering. “I don’t really celebrate my birthday in the way others would, but I splurged and bought lots of coffee jelly. My mother baked cake too.”

You give him a small smile. “So, is that a yes?”

Saiki nods.

Saiki didn’t really have much of a plan or intention to kick you out of his house. You didn’t talk his ear off as often as his other friends, so he figures you two can sit in his room alone in silence. He doesn’t hear you mentally complain, anyway. Most of your thoughts at that moment were in regards to the way his room looked.

Most of your thoughts.

I should ask about the show that’s going to air later this noon. Oh. My god. I can’t believe I’m alone with the guy I like, it’s the perfect time to confess!

Saiki hears your thoughts, yet he does not do anything about the confession part. He and you both know you’ve thought of confessing your feelings multiple times but chickened out everytime.

Hm. Saiki wonders if this time, you get the courage and finally tell him. He knows what he’ll say.

Your eyes dart nervously to Saiki, then at the TV right next to his bed, where you’re seated.

“Have you... Do you know about the show that’s airing later? 4:30?”

Saiki nods.

“Would you want to watch it together?” You take a deep breath after asking. Fortunately, he nods.

“Would you like something to drink? Or eat?” Saiki asks. If you’re staying, he might as well be a good host.

“Ah, just water. Maybe, uhm, coffee jelly– if you’re going to get some of your own.”

Saiki nods and he exits his room, leaving you alone.

You eye the gift you handed to Saiki. You had only gotten him a cardigan, unsure of any specific tastes of his, although the design was quite... un-Saiki; it wasn’t plain, but it wasn’t too much design. It just didn’t look like something he’d wear often, though you figured he could probably try out new things.

You just hope he likes it. To be safe, you had bought him a gift card to the store you got his gift from.

Saiki opens the door with a tray in his hands. Two cups of coffee jelly and one glass of water.

You make yourself comfortable on the floor of his room, Saiki sitting across from you and setting the tray down.

You take a sip of water before muttering, “Thank you.” Saiki gives a small nod before silently eating his coffee jelly.

He doesn’t really like being talked to while he’s eating, you think. You’re left to just look at Saiki with that expression he’s always wearing when he’s eating anything sweet. It’s cute.

You’re opting to confess, Saiki feels it. As unromantic as the scene seemed to be– two friends sitting on the floor without talking– he figures if he should be confessed to, it’d have to be nothing grand.

Plus, he knows what he’ll reply, anyway. He’s prepared his response since the first time you backed out of confessing to him.

You grab a plastic spoon and open your cup of coffee jelly. Before you take a bite of the sweet treat, you finally say the words.

“I like you.”

I know. I’m still chewing, hang on.

You quickly eat a spoonful of coffee jelly before Saiki could even respond. Say something, please?

You anxiously eat your coffee jelly, waiting for Saiki to finish eating his.

...

Finally, finally, Saiki replies.

“I don’t really know yet, but I might like you too.”

You feel as though a wave of relief washes over you. At least it’s not a rejection. Oh my god. “Really?”

Saiki nods. He doesn’t say anything else, and in shock, neither do you.

“Don’t ask me how I know this–”

Mentally, you interject, I probably won’t, but continue.

“–but I know you’ve liked me for a while now.”

You sigh in frustration. “I thought I was hiding it well...”

I can’t help that I have telepathy. Saiki discards that thought, instead saying, “No, you were pretty obvious.”

You laugh quietly. “God, I’m sorry! Glad that you might like me back. At least that being obvious wasn’t in vain.” You smile at Saiki. “Belated happy birthday, again. Next year, I’ll be sure to greet you on time.”

Saiki lets out an amused hum. “We’ll see.”

Could I get headcanons for saiki, so he can read animals minds right? Well what if he’s going to his partners house for the first time and he’s like “hey my cat doesn’t like people, be careful”

and they go in and reader just goes up to their cat and just kisses his head and snuggles it and the cat is happy but then they see saiki and they just start growling and hissing but all saiki hears is

“Who tf is this? is this a new boyfriend? Who do you think you are trying to date my papa, I’ll have you running away same day” and the cat just every time saiki tries to do something romantic will come in and steal reader away

Have a good day!

Saiki Dealing w S/O's Overprotective Cat

YesYesYes I love this idea so much!!!

You and Kusuo were working on a school project and you offered the idea to work on it at your house

Saiki really thought nothing of it and agreed. You're the only person in the world he'd willingly spend extra time with anyways

Plus hanging out with you after school gave him a perfect excuse to avoid his friends other classmates that want to take away his free time

Even when you gave him the warning that your cat isn't too fond of people, he just shrugged it off, genuinely not really caring about it

He's dealt with annoying cats before so hes certain he could deal with your cat, even without using his powers around you

When you walked in, your cat didn't even notice your boyfriend before it walked over to you, already rubbing his head on your legs in greeting

When you picked your cat up and introduced him to Kusuo, the young psychic was flooded with incoherent rambles from the cat

"WhoTheFuckIsThisWhyIsThisBoyHere-" "Can you be quiet for a second?"

The cat genuinely got so scared it jumped out of your arms, hissing and running off

You kind of shrugged it off and you and Saiki started working

Your cat was always stalking you too, analyzing Saiki behind the couch

Saiki mostly focussed on your talking, but he could clearly hear your cat plotting his attack on him

You got up to get the coffee jellies you made for this occasion, leaving Saiki and your cat alone for once

The feline wasn't planning anything too harsh until he saw you give Saiki a small peck on the cheek paired with a "I'll be right back"

His suspicions were confirmed: you have a new boyfriend. He's no longer your number one priority

Once you had your back turned, your cat sprung into action. Running toward Saiki with loud growls and hisses

"Who do you think you are!? I'm the only special boy allowed in Y/N's life! Not some bubblegum headed loser!" "You're just a cat-" "Oh, there you are [cat name]!"

You returned. This is interesting.

Throughout the entire time, your cat managed to be in between you too for the entire time. Leaving no room for you to be close to your boyfriend

Even if you tried to hold Saiki's hand, your cat would bite yours to keep you away

Eventually enough became enough and you figured out what you would have to do: baby jail.

You picked up your cat, giving it too many kisses as a distraction then closed him off in your room

Kusuo has never heard a cat cuss their owner and him out like that before huh

It was annoying and giving him a headache in all honesty

But at least you're presence made things bearable for him and that your homemade coffee jelly was really good

You got done early and you decided to walk Saiki home before it got late, holding hands without any interruptions

Unless you count the fact that Saiki's mother caught you hugging her son before you tried walking away, only pausing when you heard her squeals of joy upon seeing you

"Oh my little Kusuo has all grown up! Awe, you're so beautiful/handsome too!"

You were forced invited to stay for dinner, forgetting all about your poor kitten still up in your room, still grumbling about the new addition to your life
