1. kuroo’s gay smile
he literally does this face when he’s thinking about kenma, looking at kenma, basically he has this soft in love look on his face for kenma only. there is no heterosexual explanation.

2. kuroo's first appearance
the first time kuroo ever shows up is shortly after kenma does, because he's looking for kenma. additionally, the light novel states that he explicitly requested to search for kenma himself. they're gay your honor

3. kenma joined the volleyball team for kuroo
kenma says multiple times he joined the volleyball team for kuroo. (spoiler alert: he did this because he loves kuroo). AND THEN he played on a team with kuroo FOR YEARS!! that's dedication!!!

4. kenma says he has a soft spot for kuroo
in haikyuubu, kenma says that he gave in to alisa haiba's requests because she reminded him of kuroo (and he's embarrassed to tell kuroo that). i just think he's SOFT FOR KUROO

5. kuroo talks about kenma constantly
kuroo literally cannot shut up about kenma (and who can blame him tbh). in fact, he tells so many stories about him that nekoma has NAMED his kenma stories. he's just that in love with kenma.

6. kuroo is obsessed with talking about how much he loves long hair...
...even going so far as to say so while leaning on kenma's shoulder. and kenma's hair got even LONGER after the timeskip.
enough said.

7. chapter 318, a chapter that focuses around kenma and kuroo and kuroken's relationship, is called partner.
they're partners.
they're partners.
8. kuroo is always looking at kenma in official art, even separate from the manga/anime.
it's kind of sweet, very gay.

9. they have dates on sundays.

10. the official art always pairs them together, and some of it looks high key romantic.

11. they SLEEP NEXT TO EACH OTHER!!!! CANONICALLY
12. haikyuubu kenma suggests the childhood friend route, which is "easy for beginners".
he only has one childhood friend.
he only has one childhood friend.
13. when talking about kenma, kuroo asked yaku if he'd ever heard of feelings, implying (imo) that kuroo has feelings for kenma
14. THEY RAN TOGETHER!!! THROUGH ALL OF THESE YEARS!!! PARTNERS!!! ALSO LOOK AT HOW KUROO LOOKS AT KENMA!!!!
15. (haikyuu manga spoilers) when kuroo first shows up in the manga after the timeskip, the first person he talks about is kenma. similarly, kenma brings up kuroo in his only real conversation post-timeskip.
16. everything about them screams married energy. especially post time skip
17. even kuroken official merch is romantic!! it looks like he’s reaching for kuroo’s hand!!!
18. they know each other so well they can basically read each other’s minds. they know how to cheer each other up and motivate each other. they’re SOULMATES
19. KUROO LITERALLY SAYS "WORLD FAMOUS KODZUKEN AND I GOT TOGETHER" what further proof do you need
THAT IS ALL I HAVE THE ENERGY FOR FOR NOW BUT IF YOU HAVE MORE YOU WANT ADDED PLS TWEET/DM/CC ME!!! kuroken soulmates
(thank you to my cc anons for these wonderful ideas!)
20. kuroo is the only person kenma calls by a nickname. he calls others by their first name ("shouyou") or a variant by their request ("tora") or last name ("bokuto-san") but kuroo is, and always has been, kuro.

21. kuroo has a key to the kozume house!!
this is shown when kuroo steps in to find kenma awake, playing games at five am, and when kuroo checks on kenma while kenma's sick.

23. the kuroken nendoroids come with each other's cats!!
they really can never be separated :')

24. they share food and know each other's tastes and i just think that they are flirting here
25. this is reaching absolutely but kenma's house is exclusively referred to as "kozume's residence" because it is the residence of kozume kenma and kozume tetsurou i don't take criticism
