—Ikepri matchup for @ndoandou

Hello spoops 👁👁 i have risen for your ikemen match up session- so if u dont mind could i partake bxbxbz?

Id like a matchup with the ikemen prince boys, but if not possible ikesen is fine :)

Thank you for the request @ndoandou bestie 💜💜

I've decided to match you with...

Leon Dompteur!

First impressions

You're more than a little anxious and snappy when you first meet him on accounts of the fact that your meeting was due to being, well, kidnapped

Being snappy around people like Chevalier, Clavis and Nokto isn't great as they only lead to you snapping at them despite the situation which you only realise afterwards

You can't leave and your stress levels are high so the argument only goes on to the point that you're at risk of a sword at your throat

Luckily Leon is there to diffuse the situation, acting as the agreeable mediator and diffusing the tension and potential violent intent

You would be no match for someone like Chevalier and it was clear that you weren't reacting too well to the current situation as shows by your evident anxiety and initial standoffishness

Other than Luke and perhaps Jin for the moment, he was one of the only ones that you felt okay to be around especially after your and everyone else's outbursts and he's more than understanding when you get embarrassed over it

On his side, he's intregued as a whole. You didn't look to him like the kind of person that Sariel would choose on accounts of the fact that you looked ready to blow up or breakdown. You contrasted everyone in the room, sticking out quite plainly. It was cute to him

Pre-relationship bonding

Leon is the one that you naturally gravitate towards considering he seems to be one of the few that doesn't seem to want to kill you, insult you or use you as some form of entertainment, especially after the initial introduction to the princes and he's more than happy to help you out around the palace

You never really want to approach him first on the accounts of the fact that he was so helpful completely unprompted and you couldn't decide whether it would be wasting his time or burdening him with him being a prince and all with so many responsibilities or not so he's usually the one to approach you first as a way to make you more comfortable and realise that he's there to help if you need it

Even he was new to the palace once so he can relate and his honesty is always blatantly displayed so it makes it easier to feel comfortable around him

He very quickly catches on to your quickly changing moods but also the predominant fact that you seem to like to keep to yourself unless prompted otherwise but you find that he loves to hear you ramble

It's very common to see the two of you in the library together since it's one of the few places that only ever has one or so of the brothers in it at a time and rarely the ones that he comes to notice that you're particularly keen to avoid

The two of you spend ages in the library talking about something or other and him helping you find and reach books on things that you mention. You find that you spend a lot of time talking with Leon. Even when you go quiet, he encourages you to keep going if your up for it. He just seems to know what to do when even you aren't sure

He doesn't always know what to do when he's with you and wants to make sure that you're comfortable so he's always elated whenever you want to go to a public event or just go out at all. You may only mention it in passing but he'll immediately bring it upon himself to take you

It gets to be to the point where you feel comfortable expression your emotions as they are around Leon, without really realising it, even your annoyance with him at times

You are free to whack him if he sleeps and refuses to move unless you drag him. He knows that you can't do it without a lot off effort but will try anyways the second that he brings up your height because you're petty and stubborn. He'll get up himself eventually but whack him regardless

Confessing

The likelyhood is that he would confess

He prefers to be forward with you and wants to be able to tell you when he knows that it wouldn't make you try and avoid him

In a way, he's worried that you'll disappear if he doesn't say anything quickly enough. You were empathetic and you always seemed to know how he was feeling

It was perhaps an irrational concern for him to worry that you would catch on to his feelings for you before he got the chance to tell you himself with his inability to know what you were thinking or how you would react though by this time the two of you knew each other and trusted each other to know that it would be fine either way

His confession isn't planned by any means when he actually says it and it kind of just slips out when the two of you are together alone like the two of you often found yourself es to be whenever his brothers were getting to be too much for you to deal with. He isn't sure why he'd said it then when he had a plan for how he was going to tell you but even then it's not said in a throw away tone

He's sincere and his words leave no room for you to question his honesty

Your mind doesn't give you a moment to think it over rationally before you react in the way that you see fit, hugging him and on the verge of tears

You can't bring yourself to be talkative and open as you often were with Leon but he catches your acceptance and feelings in turn mumbled into his chest as he hugs you back and let's you collect yourself

Kisses you the moment that you try to apologise for your reaction

Dates with him

Likes to bring you to watch his men train mostly for posing and anatomy for your art though. Since he's a swordsman and has a pretty decent understanding of his own anatomy and muscular structure he's like some kind of godsend whenever you can't figure out poses though these little sittings will usually involve a bunch of food

It's not private as you would prefer but still a nice constant. None of the soldiers bother you and it's kind of like a picnic but inside that comes with complimentary poses and demonstrations from the 4th prince himself

He loves watching the process of your drawing and will take every chance to watch if you let him so expect him to ask if he can look if you decide to use some of the training routines as inspiration and studies because he's absolutely enamoured with how much you love your art

Speaking of picnics, he likes to take you out on actual picnics too. Partially for the food but also because you look so relaxed when you're outside. You spend so much time inside that you don't realise how much you appreciate the fresh air and sunlight

Have I said that he likes to feed you and visa versa because he likes to feed you and visa versa. He loves cliche romantic things like that

You better believe that he asks you if you could teach him to play the guitar. He's never gotten to interact with the instrument much so hearing you play it is magic to him and he plays songs for you too whether it be violin or piano or some other instrument that the high class find themselves obligated to learn. Yeah he's big on the cliche things. Serenading you is something that's fairly high on the list of things he likes to do with you, especially if you get flustered

While, often times, your dates are spontaneous and just done whenever the two of you have time on days other than significant occasions but there are times when your dates are prompted by your mood if to join you in an escape or calm you down

These times he'll go with you to

His favourite things about you

The fact that you make an effort to better yourself. Not change yourself. Simply improve and grow. You see your flaws and you don't deny them. You accept them even if you don't like them and you work on them

He knows how easy and tempting it is to just stick with how you are and he sees the fact that you genuinely try to make yourself better is admirable which coincides with the fact that you don't do it for others other than yourself and people that you care about

You're civil and polite with those that you dislike or visa versa but don't waste your time on them or make an active effort to change yourself for them

He's more than aware than being mature enough not to stoop too low is not easy, especially when you're already petty

It's your resolve and determination that's so amazing to him, even if sometimes you waver and aren't certain of what you're doing

In those moments he'll gladly guide you and wait for you. He only guides though. He doesn't want you to be completely different. After all, you're flaws aren't what you're made of but they help shape you and make you you

Possible relationship conflicts

Leon keeps secrets exclusively out of necessity and, whole these will definitely come to light between the two of you, in the beginning they act as a kind of basic for a distrust in him if you're able to catch on to the fact that something is in the background

He's almost perfect at hiding certain things but after certain secrets have been put on the table, it does bring the potential for a bit of doubt in how much he trusts you, especially considering that you value trust and the gravity of a secret isn't evident unless it's been told

However, this followed by the realisation that he wouldn't have told you if he didn't trust you does mend that considering that, other than very specific things, Leon doesn't like to keep secrets and often times freely let's you know whatever you want to

Other than this, there's the fact that both of you struggle with your sense of self and personal identity. It makes it difficult to reach out to each other on anything other than a physical level at times and communication can be difficult when both of you yourselves aren't sure what the problem is

You two can get a little distant at times due to the lack of communication when the both of you feel like this but it's easier to manage since a lot of how you express yourselves is through actions and physical affection

Leon however doesn't make a big deal of it and treats you the same as usual with the knowledge that criticism isn't something you want especially when you're experiencing something that he himself is very familiar

Other possible matches

Rio Ortiz

It was close and I mean very close but I ended up settling on Leon

Chasing The Sun

Summary: The story of how you fell in love with the Devil King’s right hand, Hideyoshi Toyotomi. Tags: Canon-Divergent, Fluff. *Matchup written for the lovely @kamesama , I hope you enjoy your love story with your suitor.

How on Earth were you able to just sit like that in front of the Devil King? What in the name of the seven heavens and eight hells were you thinking, sitting with your arms crossed and a nonchalant look on your face before the man who was on the quest of ruling all of Japan?

Not only did you suddenly appear in Azuchi, creating a ruckus in the gardens of Lord Nobunaga’s castle, looking for what you called “a cellphone” and “a police station” but you were also giving these grown men a piece of your mind while they looked at you incredulously.

You obviously thought that you were in some sort of play or the universe was pulling some prank on you. Was there something even called time travel?

After taking in your surroundings, everyone was speaking in Japanese and you were somehow able to understand them and speak the language too. Not perfectly, but enough to get by and find yourself before the man that all of Japan feared the most.

Was this a curse or blessing? You looked around you to find the most heartachingly handsome men that were apparently warlords and they were sitting around you in what they called the Council Room. They were:

Bewildered by what you had to say. So… after much explanation from your end and getting some clarity from the panicked Hideyoshi who had been rambling to his Lord (and dropping lots of hints that helped you get to the conclusion of where and when you were), you claim to be from the future?

Either utterly amused or baffled by your behaviour and demeanour before their Lord.

Nobu’s crimson eyes were locked on you with a faint smirk drawn on his lips, Hideyoshi was obviously mortified and had been silenced by a simple “enough” from his Lord, Mitsuhide was snickering joined by Masamune who was trying to muffle his chuckles and Ieyasu rolling his eyes at them for acting like young boys. Mitsunari though? The angel was looking at you like a cat with big wide curious eyes that just wanted to know (play) with you.

The most impressive thing about the whole situation: you were so composed when facing someone with a commanding presence, not even flinching under his studious and heavy gaze. Nobu couldn’t help but be impressed and thought that you would be entertaining to keep by his side.Same shit, different day when it comes to the Devil King. If something entertained him, he would keep it around until he deemed it of no use to him (or that’s what you would think).

Seeing how unfazed you are and how you met him with a passive gaze that challenged something within him. Nobunaga decided to make a bet with you: become a Sengoku woman within less than a month and he will help you find a way home and back to your time. If you didn’t, then you would have to stay in the Sengoku Era and wed him.

First thought: What the actual….

Second thought: This man did have the power to do something like that. Thinking over your non-existing options, you would just have to agree.

Who would even want to marry a man like him? Nothing about him but his appearance was alluring to you in that moment, even though something inside did tell you that he would be more than able to show you a good time but you just pushed that thought to the back of your mind.

The golden-haired annoying beauty, Hideyoshi dared to open his mouth to protest… and being the mischievous Devil King that he was, Nobu put Hide in charge of you and you were officially under his patronage, tutelage or whatever you wanted to call it but from what you’ve seen, you definitely thought that the Sengoku Era was not for you… and most probably, a big nightmare that you were just waiting to wake up from.

While Hideyoshi and even you wanted to protest (yet again), the man called an end to the meeting and winked at you, wishing you good luck.

You weren’t going to be able to become a Sengoku woman, nor were you interested in becoming one, to be completely honest, but you needed a guide. But... Why… Why did it have to be him?

Living in a mansion with a man as fussy as him was going to be a huge headache. By the way he acted, he seemed to possibly be a clean-freak and the super organized micromanager type about everything in his life. But when you arrived at his mansion, you were surprised to be greeted by a swarm of smiles and simply… so much feel-good vibes.

It was hard to pinpoint it but there was this aura that surrounded the warlord, or more like, the ambience would change when he was around. You noticed it even when you followed him through the streets of Azuchi while on the way to his mansion. However, it was still your first day in Azuchi, you would have more time to figure things out later after you’ve had some much needed sleep.

He had the maids prepare the second largest room in his castle, with a hot bath and almost a dozen of kimonos, yukatas of all colours for you to choose from. You didn’t need all of this, anything would do but someone was going over and above… For someone who was so reluctant to have you stay with him and was awfully disgruntled about the prospect of you marrying his Lord, you did not expect to have such a warm welcome into what would become your new home.

In order to get things on track and yeet you out of the Sengoku Era as soon as possible, you woke up to the soft knock on your door and the sound of a man clearing his throat. Not only were you greeted by the sight of the gorgeous man entering your room with the rays of sunlight shining through your window making his hair look like actual tresses of gold and his bright smile, making you feel a weird fuzzy feeling in your chest as he set your breakfast tray before you. What did you deserve to be spoiled like this? It honestly felt like you had woken up in a reverse-harem maid cafe that was actually a bed and breakfast hotel?

Your thoughts completely mislead you. Hideyoshi was taking you through a schedule that he had prepared for you in order to get you accustomed to the current times and its needs. It was a rotation where you spent a day with one warlord every day, acquiring whatever knowledge you could from all of them. Medicine with Ieyasu, History with Mitsunari, Culinary Arts with Masamune, Japanese Language and Art of Dance with Mitsuhide, Horse-back riding with Nobunaga. Etiquette with Hideyoshi.

Cue: your first fight. You butted heads and made his life a living hell. As peaceful and respectful as he tried to be during your discussion with him, you argued with him until he lost his breath and his face turned a bright shade of red (that was surprisingly adorable but you didn’t really care for that in that moment) because you wouldn’t let him dictate things for you. It was YOUR way or no way at all. Nobody else had the right to manage your time for you. That was up to you and you alone and you wouldn’t let some beautiful man change that. He had to concede… not for you, but for his own sanity and for Nobu’s sake. That’s what he told himself at least, but you had the first win. The first to many more to come.

After sorting that out, Hideyoshi took it upon himself to take you on a tour around Azuchi, showing you all the best places to get whatever you needed, even introducing you to every single merchant and townsperson wherever you want. How did he even remember the name of all of these people?

He was… the town’s busybody? No. You could not even find the best word to describe how he was because there were way too many words that you could use, but not one of them would be enough. Anyway, let’s get your thoughts back on track. Not only do all the women, young and old, fawn over him but he was so well-loved because of his good deeds.

His objective was only to show you around before conducting your first lesson with him for the day but you were saved by an old lady that owned a cute little teashop who happened to ask him for help. That was weird. How could someone ask something so menial of a warlord?

Upon pulling both you and him by the hand inside her shop, she went on and on about how she loved his company as he reminded her of her son that she had lost in a war. There was this look in the warlord’s eye that didn’t go unnoticed but you just put a mental note on it. It seemed like Hideyoshi felt indebted to her somehow? And you! Well, you were so warm and nice to the teahouse owner that she took a liking to you and began spoiling you with every type of dango and sweet that her teahouse and Azuchi had to offer.

Four words: Sugar overload + sugar rush.

While you were chatting with the teahouse owner, Hideyoshi had been gently giving you instructions on how to sit, how to eat, how to hold different utensils and what gestures to use when people say certain things. He included all these comments so smoothly in the discussion that by the time you were done eating, your lesson had ended. As Hideyoshi announced that, telling you that “you did very well, all the treats you ate were well-deserved”, he gave you a bright smile and winked at you, which totally, totally did nothing to your heart.

He suggested to the teahouse owner if you could fill in, in his place, since you got along pretty well together and the old lady was almost ecstatic, taking you in her arms out of impulse and thanking you for agreeing to help her. Looks like you had no choice.

For a brief moment, Hideyoshi just stared at you before bursting into jolly laughter. You looked like a child so high on sugar, you were basically radiating energy and there was a spring in your step that you didn’t even have before. He took you by the hand and began running, looking back at you and shouting “Faster!! Time is of the essence. We’re going to chase the sun!” What he was saying made absolutely no sense but you found yourself giggling under your breath, running beside him until you reached the stables, he jumped on his steed and pulled you behind him. “Hold me as tight as you can. Don’t worry, I’m not fragile.” he joked as he clicked his tongue and you flew with the wind, beyond the bounds of Azuchi.

You smiled and looked up at the sky, letting the breeze tickle your skin and your hair flying around you. As you inhaled deeply, you couldn’t help but rejoice in the smell of fresh air and sandalwood… Hideyoshi. So rich and sweet, it made you dreamily sigh without even realizing. When you suddenly came to a stop, Hideyoshi’s warm voice reached your ears and pulled you out of your daydream. He was showing you the sunset as it fell behind Azuchi castle, the colours of dusk blending with the fading flames of the sun that shines over the town that would become your home.

As you were slowly coming down from your high and before you fell asleep on the warlord’s shoulder, you made him promise you to show you the sunrise and he gladly agreed to do so.

The next few days were quite busy for you. Following the schedule that you had set for yourself, you visited the teahouse of the old lady before your classes with “the warlord of the day”, as you called it. you went to help around the old lady, as Hideyoshi had promised on your behalf and began to understand him more, know even more about him without even having to ask any questions. You were also able to reach your own conclusions, after heaps of townspeople swarmed the old lady’s humble teahouse, talking about their different encounters with the Devil King’s right-hand man.

The old lady loved him so much, saw so much in him and was so willing to gush about him as if he were her own son. He was charming…. Incredibly and unbelievably so. Just a simple glance at him and people were beaming at him. He came from the lower class, but you had no idea. He had this humility in his smile even though the way he held himself was graceful and his tone, the words that so eloquently spilled out of those lips of his would never indicate that he grew up as anything other than a nobleman (which made you like him even more).

By the end of the week, the teahouse owner no longer was in need of your services since her daughter, who had been sick, was feeling all better and ready to help around. (Hideyoshi didn’t even tell you but your experience in the teahouse was part of your on-ground training and he didn’t even need to give you more lessons, yet he chose to so he could spend more time with you)

After your first round of so-called lessons with all the warlords, Nobunaga held a banquet in your honour, his own questionable way of formalizing the bet and challenge between you. You weren’t entirely sure whether he was mocking you, testing you or just playing mind games with you but that didn’t stop you from having your own fun. As everyone drank themselves into oblivion and upon discovering that you did not indulge in any type of liquid courage, Masamune had dedicated his night to stuffing your mouth with all the delicacies imaginable, sweet, sour, savoury and even bittersweet. The man was a masterchef genius (that Gordon Ramsay would definitely envy and admire but that’s a discussion for another time/day) and didn’t even mind.

In the corner of the room, your eyes reluctantly yet instinctively crawled to cast a quick look on Hideyoshi. A quick glance wouldn’t be enough to appreciate the sight before your eyes. The Adonis of Azuchi was seated languidly like a beautiful courtesan, intoxicated as she nursed her sake while prattling to others in a banquet. His emerald kimono slid down one shoulder, along with his white haori, slowly and teasingly exposing more of his bare skin, his chest was almost fully on display, his lips glistening with remnants of sake as the inebriant seeped and coursed in his veins. This was an image that you would have trouble getting out of your head, not that you wanted to. He was utterly breathtaking, the way his lashes fluttered over his cheeks, his eyes slowly falling shut then opening lazily as he fought to stay awake.

Whenever one of his retainers came to take him back to his castle, he moaned and refused to let anyone touch him except for you. All the warlords began chuckling as Hideyoshi gladly let you embrace him in your arms, holding him up with the help of his retainers as he mumbled about sweet nothings that made your heart flutter. “Your hair looks so silky and beautiful, Kame… Would you ever let me touch it or maybe even brush it for you? You smell exquisite, not even the cherry blossoms of Kyoto could rival how sweet your scent is…” His face was dusted in pink from the sake but yours turned red for different reasons. You couldn’t wait to plop him down in his room and get away from him. You could no longer feel your face with him being around you.

As the days went by, you found yourself growing more accustomed to your routine and starting to actually like your life in Azuchi. Yeah, there probably wasn’t any technology around but you still managed to occupy yourself most of the time. Thanks to the fussy warlord who spouted so much nonsense when he was drunk.

One night, he was out drinking with the other warlords after a Council Meeting. You had absolutely no idea what it was about but it seemed like things were stirring up in a nearby area and action would have to be taken soon. That was none of your business so you spent the writing while staring up at the moon, the silver light invading your room as you wallowed in the dark pits of your mind.

As he came back from his night out, he tried to sneak, not too sneakily into your room. As he stood before your sliding door, he could hear your muffled sniffles and cries. Acting completely on impulse, Hideyoshi slid the door open, rushing to you, the fear of anything bad befalling you crushing his heart. As he kneeled before you, your cheeks were tinted in a deep shade of red, your eyes puffy as you sobbed helpless. In his drunken state, his eyes darted everywhere to check if you could possibly be injured, but there was no sign of anything.

Even as you protested meekly, Hideyoshi pulled you into his arms, holding your waist tightly and one of his arms around your shoulder, keeping you safe and secure in his embrace, letting your tears dampen his kimono while he caressed your hair softly with one hand, and the other rubbing soothing circles on the small of your back.

“It’s okay if you do not want to tell me what is on your mind. But do you mind if I say a few things myself? Yes? Okay, good. Well… I wanted to let you know that I’m happy that it was you that came from the future and not another young man or woman. I am pleased that a bright woman such as yourself made her way back through time to be with me… I mean with us, in Azuchi. You’re talented and you learn things quickly… only when you put your mind to it, obviously.” That earns a small laugh from both of you. “But I want you to promise me something. Please. If you ever feel like this again, and you wouldn’t mind me being around you… Call for me. Light a candle and place it in front of your door and I’ll be here with you in a heartbeat.”

Whenever you did light a candle, he came through with his promise. He only spoke if you wanted him to, he listened to your rambling, wiping the tears trickling down your cheeks and kissing your temples whenever he felt the need to say something but held himself back. He didn’t like to see you say such self-depreciative things but he wanted to let you know, through his actions, that he was prepared to shoulder all your burdens with you and wash away all those insecurities, if you would let him, showering with words of comfort that were only based on true facts and hints of how he truly felt about you.

After that night, he never lets himself drink and be around you when he does. Especially after sneaking into your room, he wasn’t sure what he was capable of or what he would do in an intoxicated state. He made it a rule and let all the warlords know that if he’s drinking, he’s staying with one of them.

He would scold you for staying up so late at night but he secretly liked to see you actually enjoying yourself. He would sometimes invite himself in your room and ask you about the things that you drew and what you enjoyed writing, his eyes narrowing with avid interest and curiosity to learn more about your time. He knew the right questions to ask you in order to unlock the “rambling” button in you and the warlord would be so pleased to be able to get you to speak to him so openly, looking so animated with excitement brimming from your voice. At that point, he no longer exuded this air of distrust, especially after seeing that you truly knew nothing about the Sengoku Era.

He often ended up falling asleep while hanging with you. It was easy to find yourself admiring his masculine beauty. His expression was so soft and vulnerable, without the usual crease between his brows caused by his constant micromanaging. His schedule was crazy busy but he still managed to find the time to hangout with you, pick you up and drop you off from each lesson of the day. It only made sense that he would be so exhausted. If he didn’t take good care of himself, you would at least try to do so, repay him for his kindness but also, try to make his life easier. Somehow.

During one of your late-night chats, you both got pretty hungry and decided to treat yourself to something. What exactly? Well… messing around the kitchen with Hideyoshi was so much fun but neither of you were good enough cooks to make anything that could be more than just… edible. Masamune would have a heart-attack if he saw what you were doing but thanking the heavens, he wasn’t around. Hideyoshi got intimately acquainted with your peculiar taste in food on that fateful night, blinking through tears as he tried to eat the odd creation that you had both made. At first, he thought he would be appalled but after a few bites taken out of courtesy to you, he actually started to like it. Thus, the beginning of “Kame and Yoshi” late-night cook-offs to come.

The more you got used to each other, the more you teased one another. You weren’t entirely sure if you should call him “Hide” or “Yoshi” but you noticed how he would get boyishly flustered when you called him “Yoshi”, it just stuck and became your thing. It wasn’t necessarily a nickname given out of affection (or that was what you told yourself) but more of an expression of a blooming friendship. On another hand, he absolutely loved trying to find ways to make you blush, your cheeks reminding him of apples and, truth be told: he wanted to playfully bite them so much.

One day, you completely lost your shit on Hideyoshi for asking the maids to arrange your room since it was a complete mess. Little did you know, Hideyoshi had informed them maids to clean the entire castle spotless, but admittedly forgot to tell them to stay away from yours, fully knowing how you did not like anyone touching your things. He didn’t say anything to defend himself, standing completely silent and absorbing the frustration that radiated from you with the grace that he was known for. You refused to talk to him after that or even look at him. It was an invasion of your privacy and Hideyoshi believed that you had all the right to feel the way you did.

Wanting to be as far away from his castle as possible, you hiked your way up a hill to find some peace in the loneliness that nature had to offer. You spent a few hours just drawing/writing, letting off some of the pent up steam. It was much needed since you were able to clear your thoughts while breathing some fresh air. Looking at the broad horizons before you, you couldn’t help but think of the light brunet who made you feel so frustrated yet did everything possible to make you happy. Something in the back of your mind told you that it was all because he wanted you out of Azuchi and this era. But you were gravely mistaken.

Relying on your non-Sengoku era street-smart ability was not the wisest move. You had no idea where you were even though your surroundings were very familiar. After going in circles for what seemed like hours (40 minutes), you did manage to find your way back to Azuchi just in the nick of time! Being true to yourself, you know you had a lesson with the Devil King for some horse-back riding, still wondering why he even bothered spending time with you.

Who was the one waiting for you at the stables? None other than the handsome man that you were avoiding. His head was lowered in apology and he begged you to let him make it up to you. And he did, big time! You rode to a nearby village that was around 45 minutes away and they were holding a festival! There were fireworks, food stands and game booths and you ate almost everything that caught your eye, competitively played against Yoshi in most games before you saw the light of dawn appear. Have you been out for so long? Your pleasant outing ended yet again, with another chase of the sun.

You didn’t necessarily apologize for your behaviour the next day but he heard the maids whispering about you spending all night trying to make food, stuff that they didn’t even understand and his heart did melt at the thought. You were fussy about it and not having the same materials of the future, making the process much harder for you. Your go-to place to relax was on the top of that same hill where you had been sulking. He obviously tried to look for you and found you there, just watching the sunset. He smiled softly at you and you raised a brow at him with an unspoken “what’s up with you? what do you want?” But he said nothing, just sitting by your side, enjoying just being near. And you did the same.

The more time, you go out to the city where he is supposed to be spending time with you, you get a bit flustered as to how every single person in town is trying to steal his attention from you. Various scenarios would occur but you would mainly stop even following him and go your separate way. Why did you even do that when the voice in your head told you that you wanted to be near him? (smh) Being the gentleman that he is, he’ll come find you and hold your hand, frowning at you. “What do you think you’re doing? If you’re planning on running away from me, then I guess I’ll have to find a way to keep you by my side.” He squeezed your hand, the top of his cheekbones blushing slightly as he pulled you closer to him, whisking your way through the alleys to wherever the sun would take you.

Being so close to him... felt natural.

One night before Hideyoshi had to travel, under Nobu’s orders, you and the warlord rode your steeds to a nearby river where you had a small picnic and spent the night stargazing. As you rambled on and on about what you knew of the stars and constellations, he gently pressed a finger to your lips. “I’m going to Kyoto at dawn. Things might get bad but I’m going to make sure that everything will be under control. I don’t want you to worry. Just wait for me and… as long as you are, I’ll be okay. Now.. Please... no word of this. Tell me more…”

His voice sounded as empty and lonely as you felt when he was away. Only 2 days had passed and you felt like something was missing. You went on with your day as if nothing was different yet the stinging feeling in your heart told you otherwise. Who were you lying to?

6 days later: He was finally coming home!!

You didn’t even realize that you laughed as a few tears fell the moment you saw Hideyoshi when he came back from whatever skirmish he was dealing with. Cuts, bruises and bandages everywhere. He even needed a few soldiers to carry him since he could barely move on his own! The words escaped your mouth without even knowing before you turned your back on him and rushed to the castle to prepare his room for him.

You said something along the lines of (it was all so blurry so you weren’t even sure anymore): “Are you dense? I literally just had to hear about what you’ve done and that’s absolutely not acceptable. You’re always keeping your eyes on me and you don’t think you owe me just a small heads-up about your own buffoonery?”

You glared at Nobunaga and basically hissed at him. “This is all your fault. I was going to lose him because of you!”(little did you know, your small outburst made Nobunaga happy, especially after seeing the look on his right hand’s face.)

When he finally settled in and was laying on his futon, you kneeled beside him and brushed his hair away from his face, locking your eyes with his golden ones, a serious and intense look painted over your features.

You: You look like shit, Yoshi. I knew you were going to do some reckless shit. I was hoping you’d prove me wrong but here you are.

Hideyoshi: Watch that mouth, young lady.

You: You think you’re in a position to chastise me, Yoshi? You stopped giving me lessons days ago.

Hideyoshi: That doesn’t mean that you’ve learned your lesson, Kame.

You: Those are big words for a man that can barely lift himself off his futon. So much for promising to go chase the sun when you got back.

Hideyoshi: Hngh… I feel bad enough about that. I’ll make it up to you but please, do not tease me.

You: Mhm… what are you going to do if I don’t, Yoshi?

Hideyoshi: I did have something in mind… Come here.

Gently cradling the side of your face with one hand, his thumb softly rubbed over your rosy cheek as he groaned while lifting himself from the futon, a soft smile gracing his lips as you met him halfway in a tender kiss, filled with so much love and reverence. As you broke the kiss and tried to look away, he snaked his hand to your nape, threading his fingers through your hair and pulling you back to him as his back hit the floor, joyful sighs filling the silence of his room as you both finally allowed the love between you to flow freely.

Hideyoshi can get so uptight about things, nobody even bothers to question him because he’s a stubborn mother hen and once he puts his mind to something there is no changing his mind. Except when it came to you, so the other warlords would often try to get their way with things by attempting to use you against your lover. Unfortunately for them, you were a mischievous minx and instead of helping them, you made things worse by making it known to Hideyoshi, in one way or another what their true intentions were. Masamune loved you for your playful nature and Mitsuhide thought that your skills could be put to better use (don’t tell Hideyoshi or he’ll literally lose his mind).

He will say “I love you” as many times as he needs to for you to believe him. He’s the type of man that would say it in the morning and before going to sleep, even if you were having an argument, he always wanted you to remember that he did. Considering that he could die in the battlefield any day, he wanted to make sure that he had absolutely no regrets when it came to you. He would express his love to you in his gestures, with his actions and wait patiently for you to say the same to him, only when you want. He feels it in the way you tease him, the way you touch him.

His kisses are usually tender and soft like a light summer breeze eliciting the faintest shivers in your body. He usually would cradle your face and trace your cheeks or the column of your neck, a pleasant tingling sensation tickling your skin as he poured all his devotion for you in the soft whispers of his lips against yours. When things tend to get a bit more heated between you, he lets his hands roam to hold the small of your back and press your against him, his tongue licking between your lips, coaxing you to open up for him (always the gentleman, he needs to get some sort of permission from you before doing anything, out of fear of overstepping or upsetting you).

He would often pray to the heavens that you’re tall enough so that he doesn’t have to lean too much to meet your lips. His other hand would either be at your nape or the back of your head, fingers through your hair, the heat of passion taking over him and the taste of you is so irresistible, he doesn’t want to give you the chance to break the kiss.

He didn’t even blink an eye when you both sat before the Devil King to tell him that your challenge was off. Whether you won or lost, it didn’t really matter. Hideyoshi was the only man you could ever be with and the prospect of even possibly marrying another was not acceptable. Not for you or for Hideyoshi. Nobunaga simply stared at the both of you, seeing how Yoshi sat there, unwavering before his Lord, unaffected by the possible severity of the situation if things were to go south.

He respects your time and your own space, fully trusting you now that you were knowledgeable enough to know the do and don'ts of the Sengoku Era. He just urges you,.. no, begs you not to stay out late at night unless he, the warlords or any of his retainers are with you. Azuchi was a safe city but there were still ruffians lurking in the night. He didn’t want to take a chance when it came to you.

He gets way too flustered at any public display of affection but he’s a man that gets easily jealous so he likes to make sure that everyone knows that you’re taken. He would usually just walk around while holding your hand, linking your fingers together or with an arm around your shoulders, kissing your temple or your crown.

He loves sporting the love bites you’ve marked on his skin and doesn’t even try to hide them, even if you both get teased about them, your lover just beaming with happiness and pride. Whenever he feels like your hands are too cold, he would pull you into a bear hug and let you wrap your arm around his waist, under his kimono, so that his body heat and the fabric could help you warm up a bit better.

If you ever thought of pressing a kiss to his neck (which you’ve obviously done before), your lover would chew on his lip out of embarrassment while his cheeks turned into cherry tomatoes. He would obviously try to mask his shyness with a mock angry tone as he calls your name in admonishment. Looking into your eyes, he saw that glint of mirth in you and that beautiful smirk that he would very gladly wipe off once you returned to the castle.

Little gestures he does to express his affection for you and things he loves: he loves brushing your hair and smelling it, he loves biting your cheek playfully whenever you blush. Whenever you’re chilling with him and he starts teasing you, you bite him and he chuckles. He actually loves it when you do.

He absolutely loves sleeping next to you. Period. But especially having you koala-cuddle him because he’s your human heater. Knowing how cold you are by nature, he asked you to light a candle to place it in front of your door (just like when you are feeling down), so that you can both cuddle and sleep together. He doesn’t like to be intrusive and invite himself into your bed, although he does, on occasion because a relationship goes both ways and it would be wrong just to rely on you to initiate things. The most important thing was consent. As long as he had that, nothing else mattered.

Oh boy, if he wakes up with morning wood, Yoshi gets flustered as hell, especially if you’re awake. He’d excuse himself with the most boyish and embarrassed chuckle and rush out of your room or to his bathroom (depending on where you were both sleeping). If you were lucky enough to be in his room, you would hear a symphony of unadulterated moans and muffled grunts that only made you wonder what the future held for you when you became even more intimate with one another.

Sometimes, when you’re lying beneath him, and let him shower you with kisses and love bites, he worships you as he is completely devoted to you, whispers against your skin, over and over again.

“I want to make you mine, I want you to be mine, I want to claim you and let everyone know that you have chosen me to be your lover, to be your partner, to be the one you share everything with. As much as I would’ve hated to admit it before, I don’t feel an ounce of remorse for what I have discovered in you. I love you… You are my everything and nobody could ever change that. Whether you decide to stay in Azuchi or return to your time… I’ll always be with you. Take me with you.”

Hi could i please request a matchup for ikesen and one piece (to be matched up with male)😊☺️ I am an infp aries, i am 5'8 and am athletically built. I love nature, reading, gyming, cooking, eating, sleeping, watching conspiracies and true crime. I am a forgive and forget type person, very easy going, i can be aloof, a bit of a pessimist at times, stubborn and very shy especially at first, but most my friends describe me as goofy, overly honest, sarcastic, kind, loyal and a good listener. Thanx❤

Your Ikemen Sengoku matchup is...

Yukimura Sanada

-He loves the fact that he can train with you!

-He has to admit that he has a thing for athletic bodies...

-Yukimura isn’t really good with theories and cospirancies, mostly because Shingen takes care of them, but since one day he will take Shingen’s palce, he’ll gladly listen to them with you.

-Like, Saturday night is “Conspirancies night” with Shingen as the narrator and you two listening.

-Yukimura loves your easy-going and goofy side, when you are like that he only wants to kiss all over your face.

-He is stubborn and he needs an equally stubborn partner to put him in his place at times.

Your One Piece matchup is...

Zoro Roronoa

-You won’t be able to count on your fingers how many times you napped together.

-Maybe Zoro won’t make you train with him, but he’ll gladly jog with you.

-You wanna listen about crimes? He is a pirate, between what he has done and what he witnessed, you’ll have stories to listen for years to come.

-He feels weak when you get shy, but I likes even more your sarcastic side.

-Zoro also appreciates that you are loyal, I don’t think he could have a relationship with a liar.

-Like for the previous guy, Zoro has a thing for people with an athletic body.

Matchup trade

trade with @kamesama

Your ikesen matchup is...

Hideyoshi!

-Hideyoshi is a sweet man, that makes you smile when grumpy and relax when irritated.

-He knows his way with words, so when your mood changes in an unpredictable way he'll be able to discuss with you without making the possible argument escalate.

-He is the right-hand man of Nobunaga and works all day with men that tend to be pretty nasty not only with words; Hideyoshi won't be easily triggered by your bluntness or harshness.

-Also, having an honest partner? It's Hideyoshi's dream. He's often surrounded by lies and deception, he needs at least at home, to feel safe.

-You're responsible most of the time and that is a big relief for Hideyoshi. He already has to mother half of the Azuchi castle residents, he doesn't need another person to worry about 24h/24h.

-BUT. But, that doesn't mean he dislikes to take care of you, those few times you're not responsible he gladly helps you.

-Hideyoshi knows that communication is a must in a relationship, even if he isn't the best at it, he'll try to get better.

-The fact that you are so expressive is another trait that Hideyoshi adores. Seeing you excited is the cutest thing and he wishes for those moments to last forever.

-Hideyoshi enjoys nighttime like you, it's a good moment to relax and talk.

-It's known that Hideyoshi has very little time to dedicate to others, so he tries to plan something special every time he is with you.

-You are curious, so he tries to spend his special time with you bringing in new activities you may be interested at the moment.

-May sneak a peek at your writings...

-He knows he shouldn't but it is so tempting!

-Hideyoshi is very supportive of your passions. He's always excited to read your new works or admire your drawings.

-Since you like nice views, a pollution-free Japan is what you are searching for.

-Hideyoshi likes to take you to those beautiful cherry blossom streets.

-He never experienced being a small spoon, but he has to admit that it isn't so bad...

-Hideyoshi was shocked the first time you bit him out of the blue, you'll have to tell him it's a sign of affection! He'll eventually grow fond of them.

-In general I think his sweet and caring side will make you softer and open up more. The fact that he is a responsible guy is good because it means you won't have to babysit him. Your intelligence and the fact that you're responsible too will make him loosen up and relax. -So for me is a win-win relationship.

YIEEE PLATONIC MATCHUPS. Anyone who has had the misfortune to hear me mention that word, will know that I’m the biggest hoe for friendships and family stuff. So this makes me so happy 🥺🥺🥺 I can’t. Thank you sm for doing this, and remember to take care of yourself!

Personality: ENTP-T/Aquarius. I tend to be very stubborn, argumentative, and blunt, but I try to tone it down around my loved ones. I’m open minded, hardworking and passionate about the things I love, and I never shy away from a challenge. In true ENTP fashion, I’m arrogant, but aware of my own faults. I’m quite clever, but I start doubting my abilities pretty quickly.

How I act around friends: If you’re a person I like and I’ve known you for long enough to be comfortable around you, I’m a high-calibre crackhead, and a bit overbearing with my mother hen attitude. My nickname for you, depending on your comfort levels, is either an insult or some tooth-rottingly sweet name. If I haven’t known you for too long, I’m bound to be a bit more careful with my words as I’m afraid I’ll fuck smth up and make you feel uncomfortable. It takes me a long long time to be certain that you won’t drop your bags and run away after I’ve made one tiny mistake. If you’re someone that I don’t like, I’ll be the epitome of sass and smartass, but that’s only if you’re amusing enough (god I sound like a dick). Strangely enough, I’ve often come to like people like that—even becoming close friends with them—who aren’t afraid to retaliate. I like some mental spar here and there. If you don’t get upset or smth, I’ll just ignore you and be civil (unless you’re scum).

Hobbies/Interests: Dancing, baking, English literature (but really any literature), debate, history, sports.... I have too many interests and hobbies to the point of losing sight of all of them. Due to that, I have a lot of surface knowledge, so I’m pretty much a jack of all traits master on none. I’m eager to learn more things, so I don’t mind if a friend doesn’t share too many hobbies with me. Me and my best friends pretty much share none.

Pet Peeves/Things I need in a relationship: I just mentioned that me and my best friend don’t really have a common interest, but we’re able to comfortable talk about everything. It doesn’t always have to be deep talk/intellectual stuff (tho I really really really like some intellectual convos), but I need to be able to talk with you if we’re friends.

Beyond that, I’ll also need you to tell me your honest opinions, and whether anything that I do makes you uncomfortable. Communication is vv important to me.

I hope that’s enough info for you to work with. You know where to find me if you’ve got any questions 💜💜💜 take care sweets!

FUCKING SAME i’m not saying that i would rather be in a found family with everyone rather than date a, or several, warlords,, but i would rather be in a found family with everyone. it is literally my favorite shit ever

(sorry if this doesn’t fit your liking!)

i match you with. . .

— nobunaga!

you were extremely snippy with nobunaga when you first met. the moment he stepped out of the burning temple was where he, one of the great unifiers of japan, was free game to you.

you did not take kindly to him practically kidnapping you (although you had no place to stay, but hey, consent was important) which, may have led a blade to your throat in courtesy of hideyoshi, but (un)fortunately, nobunaga told him to stand down. which he did, but not without glueing a dirty look on you the entire way back.

and such continues. you were completely blunt with your feelings of him dragging you to the battlefield (it being absolute refusal). yet here you are, in front of the burning castle as its occupants spilled out.

the words you said to him, you’ve forgotten, but it was enough to render him silent. something about the distant, detached, perhaps even melancholic look in his eyes made you flinch.

and as the days progressed, it continued to haunt you. not only that, but also the news that nobunaga’s shoulder was injured from protecting you.

. . .well, maybe you went too far—

even if your respect was low enough that you didn’t care how he felt—it was still good to keep him in good terms. you didn’t want the guy in control of like the biggest clan to be iffed with you.

so you came to him in his tenshu that night. both to thank him, and apologize to him if you said something wrong.

in response, he. . .laughed?? seeing your face, equal parts irritated and confused, he bared a fiery grin, “you’ve been prudent and called me names this entire time, yet you’re apologizing if you made me uncomfortable?”

“yeah, what about it?”

your expression was now full on irritated, and he laughed again, a booming voice that echoed through the night, “no one’s ever treated me as such. you’re an interesting one, fireball.”

“can’t say the same to you. you remind me of a middle school boy who has a ‘holier than thou’ complex, except this time you’d be arrested for committing warcrimes.”

honestly you stayed not by the classic definition of “he was interesting”, but more so “the AUDACITY of this bastard. tf is he up to nexti Have to see”

on the nickname scale, definitely jabbing him in the guts deal! ofc, he’d prefer you to not use such burning nicknames in the presence of important figures, but you’ve managed your way through... backhanded and subtle ones. it’s something he picks up, and silently view as a challenge.

he’d enjoy talking about any and all interests, no matter how experted you are at those. cause even if you’re average at it, it’s all to widen his views and he enjoys hearing about things like that, even if some times he might not understand, so the fact that you know so much is definitely a topic fuel for weeks on end.

he’d also enjoy having deep convos/debating with you. not many people talk back to him, so to have someone who does and can give him new perspectives is refreshing indeed, no matter how stubborn he is.

i feel like nobunaga, as outspoken with his thoughts he may be, is... emotionally stunted, so to say. he isn’t at all going to hold back on his feelings and opinions on if you’re crossing a line or making him uncomfortable, but with more trivial matters, he might not pick up on the cues to atcually speak up his mind, so you might have to ask him first (which then would go smooth sailing i feel, cause again, he is very outspoken)

honestly? all in all, you know those friendships where you constantly but heads with each other and you seem like you cannot stand each other (you can’t), but if worst comes to it, you’ve got each others’ backs? an “i’ll kill you and i’d kill For you” type deal. sort of more rivalry siblings in a way? yeah, that.

#*matchups #ikesen nobunaga #ikemen sengoku #cyikemen #anyways i am severely sorry if i'm. mischaracterizing you??#it sounds so weird to say but it's the closest i can get #me mischaracterizing fictional characters i'm more fine with cause it's a matter of my moral compass and how much i'm fine with it but #matchups are very different cause it feels like ur giving yourself to me on a platter #and i have to be Very On Point with your. real life personality #this has to be canon compliant and SO in character or else the author will strike me down #type deal #anyways!! paranoia aside hope you enjoyed this #asshole best friends is literally my most favorite friendship dynamics

—Ikesen matchup for @laito---sakamaki

Match up for Ikemen Sengoku ^^

Appearance: height 5'5", shoulder length wavy black hair, dark brown eye, neither skinny or chubby. Personalty: Straight. MBTI type ISFJ, not at all comfortable with people i barely know, have heavy trust issues, (this is the reason i have never been in any relationship and I prefer choosing someone with whom i will be able to spend all my life in peace), not comfortable with showing my feelings openly, i am a good listener but a loud talker with the right person. I don't like it when someone dominates me, i will consider suggestions as much as u want but i can't stand dominance. Seek romance but can't say it out loud (hopeless romantic in other words). Find it hard to say 'no.' I prefer "gorgeous in simplicity." Always try so that I don't become a burden or cause any trouble to anyone in any circumstance.

Likes/dislikes: Can play guitar and harmonium as well as singing, bookworm, good at drawings, do not like food with strong flavor, especially sweets. But black coffee and dark chocolate is an exception. Cycling makes me feel refreshed.

Thank you for the matchup request @laito---sakamaki! 💜

I've decided to match you with...

Yoshimoto Imawaga!

First impressions

Yoshimoto isn't one to make an effort to talk with new people unless he finds something particularly interesting, at which point he can't really hello but get rather close to get a better look so your first impressions of him when he's maybe a little bit too closely examining your clothing aren't all that great

He doesn't mean to make you uncomfortable and catches on to how you feel fairly quickly due to being rather more observant than people realise and backs off fairly quickly despite the fact that you don't say yourself that you would prefer of he wouldn't go so close to you

Hes rather conscious of other people's moods and changes how he acts just that little bit so as not to make you uncomfortable no matter how much he would love to observe the fabric of your kimono

You're already uneasy around him but he somehow manages to lessen your discomfort by starting up a conversation

You don't particularly want to talk with him but you end up enjoying talking with him regardless with a lot of his question being about as impersonal as you can get so you end off with him on a more positive note

It's not often that people are so conscious of your boundaries in their own strange ways so you feel somewhat thankful that it was him that decided to talk to you and not anyone else

On his end he's more intrigued by you more than anything. You were distant and skittish and he could see just that little bit through the way you masked how you were feeling. You're a nice change of pace for him in comparison to everyone at Kasugayama

Pre-relationship bonding

Yoshimoto is one that doesn't like his boundaries pushed and in turn won't push anyone else's as long as there is no need for him too so he's surprisingly easy to get along with after you've gotten past the initial unease

Of course there is still the slight wariness that comes with the fact that he is an enemy and it keeps you more tight lipped than usual around him initially

However, he's so easy to get along with and just be around, even if it's just a few times a week and for short periods of time because it's plainly obvious that he has no interest in the war so it's quickly that you start to warm up to him which he seems to encourage, asking you questions about various things he's spotted in the town before he's seen you, even if somewhat rhetorical because he doesn't expect you to actually respond given who he is to the people that you're currently residing with but it's welcome all the same

He's a bit spacy at times but fairly calm most of the time and generally views you to be on equal grounds to him and is generally really polite and likes hearing you talk

The two of you can talk for hours about various things you've seen in gardens when you decide to go for a walk in favour of the cycling that you cannot do in sengoku period Japan and happen to bump into him, flowers that grew in bunches but varied in shade across each of them catching your eye and him being just as intregued opening a chance for conversation

Requesting to watch as you draw something, perhaps sketch a couple flowers or draw aimlessly as your pencil creates various shapes on a plain book that you had procured with Yoshimoto after you had mentioned that you liked to draw

He almost tours you around Azuchi and would have if not for the fast that he was such less unfamiliar with the place than other inhabitants but he manages to make you comfortable even if he isn't saying anything, the two of you just walking along side each other as you browse various shops even of neither of you are intending to buy anything

If anything, he just wants you to be comfortable, not necessarily around him, but in general

It's an easy going friendship, neither one of you asking for much from the other, both respectful of one another's boundaries and you know your limitations with each others allegiances but it's this understanding that keeps the two of you going strong

Confessing

There isn't initially any clear or distinct confession with him

He had a tendency to be cryptic, never entirely straightforward with his words so you'll have to piece a few things together

He, like you, doesn't like burdening others with how he feels

His wants are something that he's straightforward with but his feelings not so much so he doesn't want to tell you even after he realises just how he feels about you and tries to distance himself from you just so he can get some clarity and make sure that he doesn't interrupt the relationship that the two of you already share

You've listened to what he says and you know to appreciate the simpler things in life because, in this timer period, sometimes they're lost too quickly and you've just found this person that you've become comfortable around and feel for and you don't want to lose that

He doesn't know what's coming when you come clean with your feelings and he's silent for a minute and you almost want to take it back, silence ensuing as you wait for him to respond because you trust him enough not to at least hurt you with his words

He doesn't believe it and he'll ask you to repeat when you've said

You'd think that he had no reaction if not for the smile that brightens his face and he's completely speechless

He doesn't know what to say aside from taking your hands in his and returning a quiet "I love you" before lips press to your forehead so you can't see the way that his eyes are shining with tears

He brings you along to a tea house so he can distract himself from the tears that are threatening to fall from his eyes and treat you for saying what he's been too scared to say to you

Dates with him

While he isn't really dominant, he's more than willing to take charge and often does whenever it comes to dates if you display in any way that you would prefer not to or simply would be fine with whatever he has in mind

A lot of very casual and more personal dates, he very much prefers for it to be just the two of you alone and knows that you don't like being around strangers so you tend to go to more secluded areas where only other couples or people simply by there lonesome will come in their small numbers and will choose the specific times in which places will be less busy or simply more ideal

He likes to take you around to some of the calmer places that he's found and likes because he finds it very personal to be able to share his interests and his joys with someone else

He's very romantic and slow paced so it always feels rather aesthetic in a way but he's so attuned to what you like and want at that point that he's always incorporating what you like into various activities

Tea dates where the two of you aren't required to talk if you want want to and can simply indulge in the sweets and the food or even Yoshimoto taking a few of Shingen'a sweeter treats for you for the way there because he knows that you would like to try them

Music festivals which happen less frequently than he would like but often enough that he gets to see you enjoying the music, even taking part whenever your coaxed into it enough because seeing you enjoy your hobby means so much to him

Don't be too surprised if he makes a habit out of asking you to play your guitar for him after he somehow manages to comission one for you from a trader; he just likes to see you so focused and happy with what you're doing

All in all, comfortable silences are very common with the two of you. You're both content to just be near each other if neither of you have nothing to say but share so much in your liking for both elegance and simplicity in beauty respectively that there's a common agreement and understanding between you that allows for easy conversation whenever the two of you do want to talk with each other

His favourite things about you

He loves that you can match his pace and don't try to go too fast

People always seem to want to rush him, push him into something before he's ready or simply take the reigns themselves and lead him along but you simple go along with him, never really pushing or pulling too much because you don't like it either

You're both comfortable going and moving at a slower pace than most people usually like, wanting to just live peacefully surrounded by the things you love and care about with no interest in conflict because neither one of you want any part of the violence that you've both been forced into the centre of

It's something that both of you would have been ridiculed before but he feels comfort in the fact that he isn't the only one that feels that way and knows that there are others along side you that want to live their lives simply as well without this looming threat of war that uproots so many people's lives

You have similar interests and both enjoy the simplicity of silence with someone that you care about

Hearing you talk, enticing him to talk with you with topics that you like and know he does as well because you want to include him

You care about his comfort and he's so unused to it but he loves it all the same

Possible relationship conflicts

Honestly, the only conflict that I can think of is the fact that the two of you are so similar in how you act around other people

You're both withdrawn and don't want to bring too much attention to yourselves, neither one of you really wanting to go out of your way to say anything or get into an argument with someone

You're both conscious of how other people are feeling that you don't pay attention to how you feel or how the way that the two of you feel affects the people around you, namely one another

You don't like to take about your feelings and neither does he in a way that isn't cryptic or poetic in a way that makes it too confusing for anyone other than Shingen to catch on to so, in those times where neither of you have really been able to communicate what you want, it gets difficult to be able to help each other

It isn't an issue that comes up too often because it's feeling comfortable around one another than makes you both feel more comfortable to take but there are times where the two of you need someone from outside to give you a little push because the two of you sometimes get too distant in trying to understand how the other feels because they refuse to say
