This man could recite the phone book and he'd have my undivided attention.

Kageyama has staring contests with your cat.

It usually only lasts a few minutes before your cat is leaping or walking away, even when Kageyama’s eyes are still on him. He had expressed to you that he always had an inkling cats did not like him very much, to which you insisted that isn’t true, that your cat just isn’t used to him yet.

Your cat is, however, used to and fond of your boyfriend’s volleyball cat toy he had purchased in hopes of winning some brownie points.

“He’s kind of like you if you were a cat,” you teased one time as you guys watched him play with it, also referring to your cat’s similar blue eyes and dark fur.

That just made Kageyama observe your cat more. Needless to say, the staring contests continue — occurrences of which you ignored, until now.

Today, it’s taking longer than usual and you sense that neither of your boys refuse to break eye contact, stormy gazes staying strong. And as amused as you are, you selfishly want some attention yourself.

“Tobio, let it go—“

You barely finish your sentence before you are both taken by surprise as your cat leaps off the coffee table, right into Kageyama’s lap, and proceeds to curl into a comfortable resting position.

You almost coo at the image, especially when Kageyama looks up at you with guileless awe, hand petting your purring void, and quietly exclaims, “He likes me.”

You smile, humming in agreement as you watch your home grow livelier. “Told ya so.”

Another tale of love between Ayrton and pasta, as told by Angelo Parrilla of karting company fame:

He arrived with a smile on his face and a phone call from his father, who anticipated a problem: "look, my son struggles a lot with food, please don't make him come back malnourished". Ayrton was tired from the trip and still carrying his luggage, so we decided to bring him with us to lunch, so that we could understand his issue. Next to our house there was a small tuscanian restaurant and the boy devoured a plate of spaghetti alla carbonara immediately, then a steak and a salad. He didn't drink wine nor did he smoke, so in the end I asked if he wanted a coffee. "No, but I'd rather have something else, if possible." "Sure, what would you like to order?" "Another plate of spaghetti alla carbonara!"
