Kuroken headcanon that during sleepovers when they were younger, they would always make pillow forts and once they grew older and lived together, they would still do that, even though Kuroo barely fit and had to stick his legs out of the fort altogether.
And then one day, when they were feeling particularly nostalgic and were cuddling inside their pillow fort, Kuroo decides to pop the question with a ring attached, and that's how they got engaged.

kuroken au where in an effort to get to know his hot neighbor, kuroo, kenma pretends to know how to cook and asks him for random ingredients. The small talk is awful sometimes, but at least kenma gets to experience high definition and quality cinematography whenever kuroo smiles at him

Kuroo sometimes draws a ring around Kenma's finger with permanent marker and jokes that's proof that they're now married.
Kenma always just rolls his eyes, but tries to keep the crudely drawn band and diamond on his ring finger as long as he can. Because what if they were married? They've been dating for years, it's not a farfetched idea to consider, y'know?
So the next time Kuroo lovingly grabs his hand to draw the same cliche ring he always draws, and looks at him with warm eyes and a mischievous grin and goes, "We're married now."
Kenma goes, "Why aren't we?"
Kuroo's not expecting that. Kuroo's expecting Kenma's usual eye roll or exasperated sigh before he manages to get a kiss from him for being ridiculous. It's not like he's never considered marriage, it's honestly all he's wanted, but Kenma's never showed interest, and he's just as happy living in domestic bliss with Kenma anyway. If he had seen the signs, he would've asked, but he never caught them.
And there he was telling Kenma this on their living room couch, because he can't lie to Kenma. This isn't an angst story, why is Kenma suddenly interested in Marriage???
"I don't know, I just thought I wouldn't mind it is all."
"You make marrying me sound like you're choosing what to order for takeout." says Kuroo flatly.
"I mean we're already going to be together forever, aren't we? That's why I never considered marriage until now. Too much paperwork to tell you I love you forever."
Kuroo feels the back of his neck heating up as he tries to hide his giddiness, "You're so romantic, Kenken. I might just marry you for that line alone."
"Shut up" says Kenma, ears growing red.
"Kenma's in looove with meee forever"
"I change my mind, I've made mistakes before"
"You really are a brat. You're lucky you're cute."
"Kuro, will you marry me?"
"I thought you didn't like paperwork."
"I don't, but I like you. So I don't mind it for the right reasons."
"You're gonna make me do all of it, huh?" Kuroo grins as he he takes Kenma into his arms so he can kiss him silly.
"Don't be dumb" Kenma smiles into Kuroo's mouth, "I'll help with all the fees.
"You're such a brat" Kuroo laughs
"But will you marry me?"
Kuroo doesn't respond at first, instead taking Kenma's hand where his crudely drawn ring is. He traces over the lines of it, thinking about how he mostly did it as a joke. He guessed in some small way it was also a bit of hope of what he wanted.
He wonders if Kenma caught on to that too.
"I'll file as much paperwork as I have to, Kenma"
"So yes?"
"Yes!"
Kenma grabs his hand, "I need your hand."
"Kenma what are you doing??" Kuroo says, dumbfounded as Kenma takes out a marker.
He's a fast worker, doesn't take as long as Kuroo in making sure the lines are just right. The marker's felt tip tickles against Kuroo's skin when it goes around his finger, but at the end, there is a crudely drawn ring on Kuroo's ring finger too.
Kenma closes the marker before admiring his work and going, "We're engaged now."
Kenma doesn't get a chance to explain he ordered a real ring that will arrive in a few days, because Kuroo has fallen in love with Kenma all over again and needs to kiss him the silliest possible.

recontextualizing kuroo's "lowering the net" to mean "adjusting your goals for the day to something more manageable" for when you have bad days, even if those goals are simply getting out of bed or eating a saltine cracker
