#i really like doing these feel free to send me your fav rarepairs if you want my completely amateur interpretation of them

[kings-highway]

slaps u with the "have u considered...." beam and the rarepair i raise u is iwaken. thoughts? :3

hmmmm mhm mhmmmmmm 🤔

I would be lying if I said they hadn't crossed my mind before, but that is mostly due to the very specific niche friendground of Iwa-Suga-Kenma-Tendo-Akaashi I am obsessed with. As a specifically romantic and monogamous ship... let me see...

I actually think I like them. I'm struggling to see if they would have much in common, but I'm not sure they'd need to. I can see Kenma absolutely curling up against Iwaizumi while he plays a video game and Iwaizumi is distracted watching a movie or something and they're not very touchy-feely people but they will DRAPE themselves over each other.

I think Kenma would absolutely be able to get him into video games. Iwa is already like kinda a closet nerd, and he finds Kenma just too cute to resist so he ends up playing any game he wants and getting SO invested in winning, but Kenma keeps whipping his ass at everything they play. He gets legit, like, actual mad at losing, but somehow his anger over losing really helps Kenma recenter video games as "just games" so HE ends up being the one to say something like "hey, lets go get ice cream instead" and then finds that he actually really likes listening to Iwaizumi talk about whatever shenanigans the Seijoh boys have been up to.

I think they both related to each other a lot, and especially because they have really intense bestfriendships. Like not only do they shittalk the fuck out of Kuroo/Oikawa to vent, but I think they would really understand the difference between friendships and romance. Like when Iwaizumi is full on sobbing because Oikawa is moving around the world, Kenma has ZERO jealousy, because he actually understands, and just holds him. And when Kenma tells him he's canceling date night because Kuroo had a family emergency, Iwaizumi has NO resent towards them, because he actually understands (and has done the same.) I think this comes on the heels of a lot of failed relationships being really jealous and bitter about them having "other top priorities" but both Kenma and Iwa would be totally okay sharing the top space on ocassion because they mutually know that their romance and love is not mutually exclusive with the really intense platonic loves they have.

I think Iwa would just fucking love picking Kenma up. Kenma would hate it but Iwaizumi would be grinning so much.

Mostly when I imagine them, they're cuddling and sharing very embarassed first kisses and having late night slumber parties. I think Iwa would be surprised by how much he likes Kenma, but nobody would be more surprised than Kenma when he catches himself daydreaming about kissing Seijoh's ace. Dude would be straight in denial (though I also imagine he makes the first move. Very nervously and almost unable to speak, tugging on Iwaizumi's school jacket to get his attention and asking for his number. Kuroo has never seen him ask for anyone's number before. He's in awe. He is very proud of him tho. Meanwhile Oikawa and the rest of the Seijoh team razz the SHIT out of Iwaizumi for having his "new cutiepie boyfriend WHO was THAT he's ADORABLE." Iwaizumi would be such a furious shade of red.

Overall ratings:

For me, personal Interest: 5/10

Concept/Potential: 9/10

Send me a ship game for your fav rarepair! Trent/Carter 😘

Hehe, I had way too much fun with this one!

Trent x Carter

SEND ME A SHIP and I’ll tell you:

Who said “I love you” first

Trent!  I imagine Carter loving Trent for a long time but patiently waiting for him to sort through his own issues before committing to a relationship.

Who would have the other’s picture as their phone background

Carter.  I feel like he’s a very sentimental type <3

Who leaves notes written in fog on the bathroom mirror

Carter - his messages would be gentle reminders that Trent is loved, and often paired with nudges to take care of himself or to come home early for dinner.  Trent would groan and pretend to be annoyed by the streaky mirrors.

Who buys the other cheesy gifts

Haha, well, after reading your lovely fic “Is This Flirting?” I see them both as doing that for one another, often trying to outdo the other without realizing it.  I can see the gifts starting out as practical, then later getting cheesier, like matching coffee mugs or sweaters.  And then Carter making soup for them to eat together out of said mugs while wearing said sweaters. 🥺

Who initiated the first kiss

Oooh, this is tough.  It could really go either way, because I imagine Carter pining after Trent for a long time.  Still, I think he would be patient enough to have Trent make the first move.

Who kisses the other awake in the morning

Carter for sure.  I headcanon Trent as someone who is definitely not a morning person without some caffeine in him.  I can imagine him groggily accepting the smooches, but I also see Carter suddenly mentioning they have to get ready for the day and tearing the blankets off of them on chilly mornings, much to Trent’s chagrin, forcing them to get up.  Gotta have a bit of that duality in Carter - sweet and sour, haha.

Who starts tickle fights

Trent, but only when he’s feeling very secure in their relationship.  It would probably be mild at best, teasing Carter a bit during a checkup or something and then commenting with a very stoic face that Carter’s resting pulse is very high, lol.

Who asks who if they can join the other in the shower

Oooh, this is a tricky one.  I can see both of them doing it.  Trent moreso when he’s running late for work, and Carter teasing him for his lame excuse.  Trent wouldn’t complain if Carter washed his hair, though. <3

Who surprises the other in the middle of the day at work with lunch

I feel like they would take turns.  Trent would always pack something healthy, and Carter would sneak something indulgent in Trent’s lunch. <3

Who was nervous and shy on the first date

Ah, I can see Trent visibly trembling and stammering during their first date, even if it was something as low key as dinner at the inn.  

Who kills/takes out the spiders

Trent kills them instinctively, and Carter scolds him, carrying them outside.  The Harvest Goddess will never forgive you! XD Who loudly proclaims their love when they’re drunk Trent.  He won’t remember until the next morning on his way to work when Duke greets him and refers to him as “loverboy” or something.  Cue the blushing and the “Ahem, I must be getting to the clinic!” as he trips over his own feet.

Thank you for the ask! This was so much fun! Feel free to keep them coming! <3

Send me a ship ask game!
