Maya seems like the absolute ray of sunshine of her friends 🧡 What is their group dynamic like? :D

WAAAH THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR THIS QUESTION!! I have written in excruciating detail how everyone's dynamics work so here goes:

A classic delinquent and good girl duo, sort of. While Kai does have a soft spot for Maya it's subtle and shows more in him doing things for her or looking out for her, he doesn't just magically become sweet around her.

In their early school days they'd join forces to come up with schemes (without Max knowing of course because he'd freak at their rule breaking). Maya would want to help others, like retrieve confiscated items or get back at bullies, and Kai liked to cause trouble so of course he was in on it. Kai would often take the blame without hesitation, even if Maya insisted she had something to do with it.

They have kind of a chaotic righteousness as a pair.

Vivian and Maya's relationship contains a lot of trust and deep understanding. There's a sense of solidarity already because HASHTAG GIRL POWER but their bond is much more than just that.

Vivian is still an edgy bitch even around Maya, but there's a certain twinkle in her eye when she's with Maya like she's reliving a nice childhood memory. Maya always saw something beyond Vivian's unpleasant persona, much like with Kai except he's kind of just a maniac and Vivian genuinely has a softer side beneath it all.

Maya is the person Vivian hangs out with the most besides Kai. They usually do things Vivian wouldn't do on her own like shopping, spa time, a cute cafe, roller skating etc, and Vivian acts all embarrassed and grossed out to be cool but she has a lot of fun.

This is a fairly simple dynamic, childhood friends with a deep bond. Max often treats Maya like she's a delicate person and does a lot for her in terms of her career, especially when they first started out. He learned a lot about make up, dance, performance, and costuming to help her out. He babies her a bit, which is not ideal for Maya's development, but his intentions are good.

Maya mutually sees Max as one of her dearest friends. She usually looks to him for affection and an arm to cling to, and she absolutely appreciates everything he does. She's very amazed by him and actually admires him quite a bit, though it does leave her feeling guilty for not offering the same value as she's given.

Dumb and dumber. Their parents are family friends (details for another time). Ryouma gets hired as Maya's personal body guard since she's a performer/idol of sorts. She wasn't able to spend time with him when they were younger because he has a dangerous condition, so him being hired to protect her was a pleasant turn of events and it made her even more excited to get to know him.

There's an air about him she adores, even though he's literally just standing there. She'll always take pictures of him and show everyone like it was the most amazing shit ever.

Maya: Look look look, I took the CUTEST picture of Ryouma this morning! (Shows image of him awkwardly hunched over looking away from the camera)

Everyone else: ???

Maya is also very protective of Ryouma, she's always wanting to hold his hand and open doors for him etc. And Ryouma just shyly says thank you. It's not that Maya thinks he's weak nor does she try to infantilize him or anything, she still respects him and trusts him to protect her as well, she just thinks he's so precious and he's a new persistent figure in her life PLUS she knows he's been through a lot. So their relationship is pretty close right off the bat on Maya's end, which irks Kai and Max (jealousy). It does take Ryouma some time to allow the closeness to happen, but he admires Maya so it doesn't take TOO long.

Like Ryouma, Vivian was introduced into the group crew for job reasons (secretary). Unlike Ryouma, she almost immediately got along with Kai, much to everyone's surprise including Kai and Vivian themselves. Both of them are grouchy, unapproachable and hateful, so when they met they complained about shit and formed some kind of bond. Their relationship is built off of this mutual disdain towards others, though their reasons for being the way they are greatly differ.

Vivian admires Kai immensely, subconsciously mimicking some of his mannerisms when they hang out and becoming louder with a boosted self esteem. Kai thinks she's cool too, she just has this "idgaf" attitude that he respects. HOWEVER, their core differences can bring up conflict. It gets pretty bad on the rare occasion that they fight. Vivian has a hidden vulnerable side that she's terrified of showing especially to Kai, and because of this she neglects to communicate honestly about her feelings, leading to misunderstandings between them.

That being said, they still mean a lot to each other, their bond is that of close siblings.

Possibly the most prominent duo of the group. They met since they were tiny and they hated each other. That rivalry lingers into their adulthood so they're constantly arguing, but they have an undying loyalty for one another beneath the surface.

Max hates how Kai is animalistic, unnecessarily confrontational and childish while Kai hates how Max is condescending, rule abiding to a fault, and a kill joy. HOWEVER they are both capable of being shitty people. They can be very controlling; Max with manipulative tactics and mind games and Kai with brute force. This somehow makes them feel a special bond, like they've got nothing to hide from one another. They're often spending time together, but they never hang out at each other's home because they have this weird set of rules to keep their relationship from being too intimate (mostly because of Kai). There's a shit ton of sexual tension between them anyway, and this inevitably leads to... things. In the closet of course!!

Their relationship as a whole is very complicated. They hate each other, they love each other, there's sexual interest and a twinge of """more than friends""" but they also have feelings for other people. It's not the healthiest in normal standards but it works for them. They at least don't go out of their way to hurt each other (unless they have a reason) and they challenge each other enough to spark character development.

Kai and Ryouma have an incredibly simple dynamic; Kai hates Ryouma, Ryouma is mildly annoyed by Kai. Since Ryouma got hired by Maya's parents to better protect her Kai has absolutely loathed Ryouma, ESPECIALLY because he was the designated body guard beforehand. He also knew Maya's parents didn't like him, so he had a couple of reasons to take it very personally. Ryouma of course is oblivious to all of this behind the scenes drama and just shows up to do his job. Kai consistently snaps at Ryouma both physically and verbally, like a chihuahua barking at a great dane. Ryouma of course isn't happy with this but he puts up with it all for Maya and his job. I think being brushed off just pisses Kai off more too, sorry Ryouma...

Additional info: Sexual tension.... A lot of it.

Elusive and not as close as some of the rest but still significant. Max and Vivian have somewhat of an awkward relationship. Vivian is a troublemaker and Max is an orderly type, so naturally that causes conflict but not in the same way Kai and Max clash. A lot of Vivian's behavior stems from trauma and Max being observant picks up on this somewhat, so he gives her more slack. Vivian subconsciously perceives Max as an authority figure, and as much as she likes to give him trouble when she's with Kai, when it's just her and Max she feels very intimidated.

When Vivian is with Kai her relationship with Max mirrors that of Kai and Max (minus the sexual tension) but when they're alone it's somewhat strained. She's still rude to Max, but when they talk they keep it short and straightforward. There are times when Max almost sees a more vulnerable side of her but she always gets away.

In the beginning it's mostly unpleasant interactions with Vivian bullying Ryouma just to join in on Kai and Max's feelings without truly questioning it. She probably assumed he was just some ass hole or something especially since Ryouma initially has a standoffish appearance. Something would happen where she'd spend some time alone with Ryouma and see he's not as big and scary as he appears, but rather he's an airhead with a lot of self directed frustration. Her view on him shifts dramatically, and in her head he goes from a shadowy untrustworthy figure to someone she can relate with. Even with that revelation she doesn't act nicer to Ryouma immediately, though, but she does understand him more. It's vague between them right now but here's bullet points:

Vivian still makes fun of him but it feels lighter

Some times she tells Kai he should calm down instead of joining on his hate campaign like she usually did

Subconsciously standing closer to Ryouma out of trust

Offering him some of her food or water

Showing more concern when he's hurt

Showing interest in what he likes

It's funny because as individuals both Ryouma and Max are simple people, but their circumstances together are tricky.

Their beginning was definitely off to a rocky start since Max was blindly offended Maya's parents didn't trust him and Kai to protect her, and they hired Ryouma to be her personal body guard instead. Ryouma didn't pose any immediate threat and in the end it WAS for Maya's well being so Max bit his tongue through it and acted (keyword: acted) cordial, and Ryouma was polite in return.

Max thought Ryouma was unfit for his job and that he was an idiot, but there was a turning point somewhere in which he started to see Ryouma for how he truly was; A hard worker who wasn't sure what to say because he grew up sheltered and distant, stupid yes but with a good heart. Slowly but surely, Max ended up warming up to Ryouma and they had some genuine moments. The fact still stands that Max did some pretty shitty things to Ryouma like trying to make his job harder and constantly doubting him, etc. So how they resolve that when it comes to light is yet to be determined.
