Kuya Dating HCs

[RATED 18+ bc of the nature of the game, NU: carnival)

…HOW?

SERIOUSLY HOW??

Getting Kuya to admit he cares about you is like trying to pull blood from a stone – its impossible

Though some males can be polyamorous, Foxes usually mate for life

once they’ve picked their partner, they’ll stay with them for their whole life; even if their partner dies early – which is especially poignant for Kuya because of his extended lifespan as a yokai

because of this, Kuya is one of the people I can actually see being exclusive with you

In my Yakumo HCs, I said most likely it would be Yakumo dating both you and Eiden

But depending if you start dating Kuya pre-Eiden Era or even early-Eiden era – he’ll be much more devoted to you than the new grand sorcerer (although Kuya will still torment him, lol sorry Eiden)

Kuya’s love languages are (weirdly enough) quality time and receiving/giving gifts

I KNOW it sounds crazy but here he out

For quality time – he is obsessed with you, in every way possible

He wants to be around you by any means, even through some mischief and trickery

Hes the type to pretend to be bored while listening to you rant about something, but he actually commits every word to memory

He also never misses an anniversary or milestone in your guy’s relationship

He’ll make any excuse to see you, from ‘he was just bored’ to ‘he left something here last time and he might as well hang out while hes here,’

For gift giving – 1) he loves receiving gifts and 2) he loves your face when he gives you the perfect gift

Kuya knows that he is not a very ‘honest’ partner – he doesn’t verbalise how he feels and basically has never said the words ‘I love you’

Which is why his gifts are so thoughtful and sincere

Whether its your favourite flowers, or something important to you (art, work, etc) – or even just something you eyed for an extra second in the market, his gifts are so meaningful and you can always tell there is a large amount of thought put behind it

He will never give it to you directly but rather leave it in a spot he knows for a fact you’ll find it and probably write some vague, sarcastic note (which more often than not, clues you into the fact that its from Kuya)

He’ll be watching from behind a corner (or hidden in the room with magic) to see your reaction because – while he is a smug man – he wants to make you happy

Kuya is a smug kisser – he knows hes good

I truly believe that while Kuya is a smug bastard, hes also a huge softie behind all of the snark and smirks

He genuinely cannot resist putting his hands all over you, though he’ll frame it as him simply trying to tease you in classic Kuya fashion

Kuya is the type to rarely use your actual name, only referring to you by nicknames/petnames that are designed to rile you up

‘little one’ and ‘sweet thing’ are for when hes feeling particularly teasing

Though, in his softer moments – he’ll slip up and murmur a soft ‘love’ under his breath

He would actually appreciate his own petnames – something personal to him

In the forest, he has his own garden with magic flowers

something along the lines of ‘lavender’ or ‘wisteria’ when you’re feeling sweet – and ‘foxtail’ when you’re feeling a little mischievous yourself

You there, boy, what day is it (almost)

Why, sir, we are but mere days from the winter solstice, known otherwise as the darkest day of the year. Naturally, you'll find all things gothic trending on Tumblr today. Long may it continue.

The familiar sound of keys in the door alerted you to your husband’s return.

“My love?” he called, looking for you, boots making heavy footsteps as he made his way towards you and your child. His eyes soften once they land on you and your baby girl.

“How’s my princess?” he drawls, voice deep with exhaustion from work.

You look down at the child sitting in your lap, occupied with trying to fit a chubby foot into her mouth. A steady finger reaches underneath your chin, lifting it to meet his warm, intense gaze.

“I’m talking about this one.”

Okay okay okay! This had been brewing on my mind all morning and I don’t know if this is an established trope of not when it comes to this sub-genre of fan fiction romance.

But like.. Hanahaki disease, that fictional condition that slowly chokes out a character with flower petals due to unrequited or one-sided love, right? Typically there are two main treatments to save the afflicted from you know.. fucking dying.

Either they confess to the person they love and the feelings has to be shared OR they get a surgery to remove all emotions from the person forever (the second option is different depending on the interpretation.)

But like.. what if those weren’t options. What if the verbal acceptance wasn’t what “cured” the petal disease?

What if once one got Hanahaki, it was terminal just like the infected love. It could may dampen but never leave. Kinda like clinical depression in how the feelings are always around but medication and treatment can help. Except that treatment is the physical affection of their crush? The passion, not the love, like a medicine.. and it can get addictive.

Let’s play out an example; Character A has massive crush on their best friend Character B, resulting in A developing a bad case of Hanahaki. Embarrassed and not wanting to ruin their long lasting friendship with B, so A hides the lethal symptoms from them. Though they obviously couldn’t keep the facade up forever..

Cut to B witnessing the bloody display of their best friend vomitting petals, blood and bile mixed so awfully with the scent of carnations and roses over the crimson stained toilet bowl. Horrified that A was hiding their condition but still rushing to their side, kneeling and patting their back and move their hair out of the way.

But A is desperate..

The symptoms have been going on for so long that the once only gagging of the petals had turned to an almost entirely blocked airway. They have put off ruining their friendship with a confession to B too long and now A doesn’t have enough strength of a breath to properly explain, confess.

So with death flashing in A’s eyes, they whip around to tightly grasp and pull B in a hungry kiss; the feeling of suffocating petals already loosening on their airway to allow the intensity to soften into an actual romantic scene. This is the part where B would realize their feelings for A. This would be the part..

“Oh I can’t believe you didn’t tell me sooner!”

“Yes of course I return your feelings, my love!”

But that doesn’t happen. B still views A as purely a friend. And that won’t change.

The problem is now that A is depending on a B to live now and the sight of their best friend huddled and agonizing as the breath was stolen from them mere moments scars B. They never wanna see their friend that pained again..

I think the story could go one of two ways if B is truly that guilty about denying A their romantic medication.

Option 1) I’d call it the more ‘normal’, but bittersweet of the two. B, despite only holding platonic feelings for A, upkeeps a false relationship with A, so their best friend doesn’t perish a petal-choked death.

But Option 2)… well it could be continuation from the original bathroom scene or start when B finally gets sick on pretending, wanting their friendship to go back to simply that. B tells A that they reject their advances, that they’re sorry, but they can’t keep leading A on..

But A can afford that with their Hanahaki. And since B never needed to accept the confession, only withstand A’s affection.

This route could go so more darker and/or yandere-ish depending on your comfort level, so I’ll end it there since this blog isn’t NSFW.

What a familiar feeling...

I think he's starting to enjoy life on the surface

Perhaps he's not irreparable, he could even try to make new friends

HEAD CANON: What if walking mushrooms sat on decaying corpses to get their nutrients. A useful tactic when they roam dungeon areas that aren't their typical environments and can't provide them food so this is how they adapt 👀 hufhufhfuf
