#metal gear solid rising raiden

[icycoldninja]

Since Raiden himself used to be a child soldier, I’m curious as how he would react with a reader who was also a child soldier but has (somewhat) lived a normal life after being rescued.

The reader will still retain her fighting abilities but uses them for self defense rather than trying to be a soldier again, and has a lot of respect (and love) for Raiden for saving many children that would’ve become child soldiers and having a strong will. Specifically, Metal Gear Rising Raiden, because I love that version of Raiden so much.

I love that version of him too, it was my first exposure to Metal Gear and my favorite. 💜

-Raiden had it real rough as a child on the front lines, but he'd accepted it as his past and tried to move on. Hearing that you were just like him ignited a feeling of kinship within him, and though it also brought back dark memories, he ended up trusting you much faster than he would other people.

-He was so glad to hear you'd managed to escape the military and live a relatively normal life after war--something he wished he could have done.

-He wants to know how you coped with the crushing guilt and depression because of what you did, comparing your methods to his.

-He really admires you for doing what he never could, and hopes you could help him heal, mentally and emotionally.

-Though you'll never take up arms for a country or corporation ever again, you have no trouble raising your fists to defend your family.

-For this reason, Raiden has no need to worry about your safety when he's away because he trusts you can take care of yourself.

-You respect him as much, if not more than he respects you because he goes back and rescues children who are much like yourselves.

-He has a will of steel; a mind stronger than his artificially enhanced body, which has enabled him to push through all his trauma and live.

-Raiden is truly legendary and you never forget to remind him of that every single day.

-You guys hope that someday you can settle down and have kids of your own who will never have to fight or know violence and war.

-Raiden was so glad to hear you were Japanese because he has a lot of questions.

-He was also super excited when you turned out to be a ninja that was nearly as, if not stronger than him. He was glad to finally have a training buddy.

-Walking around on rooftops during a nice, cool night is his number 1 date idea.

-Would love to see you in a kimono, especially a nice blue or pink one because he thinks that would look gorgeous on you.

-Loves ninjas (which makes sense because both of you are ninjas) and if you taught him more about them, their history, what they actually did back in the day, how they dressed, etc., it would make his day.

-Despite being a cyborg, he still wants to try Japanese food--before his modifications, he used to love maki.

-Though you will have to be counted among his most trusted to be told this, Raiden is a serious Japanese culture need and loves learning about...well...anything Japanese, and yes, this does apply to anime.

-Raiden's favorite movie is King Kong, (as some of you may already know) but he doesn't have a definite favorite anime yet because he has so many he likes.

-If you speak Japanese, he'd love it if you could teach him. If not, guess what? You two are going to learn together.

-Would actually love to visit Japan with you someday, to take on the sights, go to an anime convention, or maybe a maid cafe...
