early series natori is fun cause he really does have good intentions mostly (like there’s undeniably some selfishness and manipulation behind his actions cause that’s what’s been hammered into him) but he’s also so fucking oblivious and inexperienced when it comes to human interaction and has never tried to befriend a single person in his life and he assumes natsume is his mini-me/younger clone who has the exact same desires as him and of course this child will want to be my best friend once he knows We’re The Same and I’m so pretty and charming why wouldn’t some teenager want to be friends with famous actor natori shuuichi [ends up pissing this kid off immensely and pushing all his buttons]

#he’s so… presumptuous? and I enjoy that about him #also like #it’s funny in a sad way that #natori ultimately did just want a friend who could understand him #like. he desperately needed that #and he COULD have approached natsume just as a friend like #‘hey I also see youkai and it was tough for me as a kid you’re not alone want to hang out?’#but it’s so ingrained in him to approach people like #some transactional business proposal so it ended up being like #‘hey want to be my apprentice I promise it will benefit both of us’#and just assumed this. 15yo boy would be 100% down to become an exorcist #because who wouldn’t want to be famou actor natori shuuichi’s exorcist apprentice 😍#natori also has a whole complex since he #went from being universally hated to universally loved #mmm so like I guess he assumes people won’t like him as just a person #but will like his persona he puts on #whereas natsume can’t stand his persona but does genuinely like who he is as a person #natsume yuujinchou #natori shuuichi
