#and i believe ichikuu fall under the ‘stupid antics happen when together’ trope there they are doing stupid antics lol

[akkivee]

it's ichikuu day!!!!! so i did another shipping chart lol

and it gives me an excuse to talk about them lol so

how it happens: ichiro not knowing what he had until he lost it is canon and all the proof you need that it was slow and unintentional lol. i actually think there could have been a chance kuukou fell for ichiro at first sight had ichiro not beat up one of kuukou's merry gay thugs but it was definitely at first fight lmao like

ichiro beat the lights out of kuukou and kuukou went 'oh???😳' lmao like he just knew

showing affection: i think they're both equal parts okay with verbal and physical affection!!!!! esp the ichiro that's just in a better place mentally lol😭 i do think ichiro would still fall on kuukou being the one to initiate affection tho

handling conflict: i don't think they'll get into too many serious arguments. and a part of that is because they both feel they’ve been split apart for too long by misunderstandings to fight like that. however, kuukou is very quick to forgive and even quicker to forget (lol) if he isn’t terribly offended but anger can simmer in ichiro for a while.

dealing with jealousy: neither are particularly jealous people but ichiro is prone to possessiveness. ichiro is attention starved and kuukou’s an attention whore when he wants to be so there’s a mutual desire to hangout frequently never mind their separation baggage lol

relationship attitude: them boys sure are loyal!!!!!!!!!! they sure are lmao!!!!!!! since i think ichiro would fall back on kuukou taking initiative, while he loves pda he’s just more reserved about it lol

attachment: if you lost your constant light of your life abruptly and violently after feeling so assured he’d never leave you!!!! you can bet you’d have some separation anxiety if you got him back!!!!!! and if you saw just what a good man had to do to try to get the life he wanted despite how it was slowly poisoning him!!!!!!! you would feel a little protective of him too!!!!!
