8. 🪄Do either of them use magic? If yes, do they ever use their magic to perform romantic gestures for their partner or help their partner out in any way?

for darkroach!!! i say this already kinda knowing the magic they can both do, so mostly i just want to know if they're using it for evil for each other!!

What, these two? Using magic for eeeevil? Ha! Perish the thought! (They’d both argue that “evil” is a matter of perspective, anyway.) As for each other, well…

Though a thief at heart and not inherently magical, Daroach has the spirit of a magician - both trickster and performer, wielding his wand (and later the Triple Star cane) with all the grace, finesse, and showmanship that comes with it. He may not be into traditional romance (specifically in my general headcanon as well as the KAU), but he's still quite the charmer, and he can’t resist adding a little pizzazz to the mix if he knows it’ll impress his current beau, be it in the form of a flashier bomb the field of battle, a sly smirk before teleporting away, or a tiny dusting of frost over a glass of something sweet. (This boy is Extra and he owns it.)

Meanwhile, Dark Meta Knight is significantly less showy about his own innate powers, better suited for warfare and intimidation than anything even remotely romantic… Not to say Daroach doesn’t enjoy a good old-fashioned display of strength every now and then… maaaybe enough for Dark to take notice, to show off a little more himself, to let fire curl around the prongs of his sword in twisting spires or gather mirror shards around his fingers to twinkle and dazzle… Maybe he’d even conjure one for Daroach if he leaves his compact at home that day. Maybe. If he’s feeling generous.

"Careful. It’s sharp.” “It’s fine, sunshine. I’m used to handlin’ dangerous materials, hehe.”
