KHR Romantic & Smut Matches for Ghostie

In my opinion, your ideal romantic match in KHR is MUKURO ROKUDO!

So, I see you and Mukuro being pretty attracted to each other shortly after meeting. It might have been a physical attraction on just one of your parts or maybe both, but there was definitely a mutual interest in each other, I would like to think. Like, okay this person is a little off-kilter and different and intriguing kind of interest that made you want to find out more about each other. And I think from there the two of you formed a kind of friendship that steadily grew stronger, as you both grew a little bit more trusting of the other. The more trust developed, the more the friendship grew into the romantic. Though the two of you never actually sat down and had a full out conversation saying 'yeah, we're dating now', the two of you just fell into dating. He doesn't run around on you or anything, there's no one else, and both of you feel like the two of you are in a relationship and his actions make it clear enough to you, since you've grown to know him well enough. If either of you ever needed another partner, another relationship, either Mukuro or you would bring that forward to the other, since I do see both of you being comfortable with both monogamy and polyamory, but you have always made it clear that if polyamory is ever to be explored, there has to be open communication. I think it was probably a topic that came up to discuss as the two of you were picking apart the different kinds of relationships humans find themselves in, and he definitely heard and respects your opinions on the subject.

Both you and Mukuro are very charismatic, but in much the opposite ways of each other. You're light, fun, outgoing, funny, 'effervescent' as one of your friends once described you. People are attracted to that about you and you're really the lighter side of charisma whereas Mukuro is brooding, mysterious, powerful, (and yes, a little weird and kooky) and people are drawn to those things, making him the darker side of charisma. Despite how opposite the two of you can be though, there's enough in common to allow the two of you to get along and communicate well but enough differences to make conversations interesting and to allow the both of you room to grow and develop as people.

The thing you and Mukuro agree the most on? Your interest and fondness for the creepy, the bizarre, the macabre. Your whole aesthetic is probably one of the first things he noticed and one of the first things that attracted him to you, though as he grew to know you better, it was really your personality, wit, and world view that kept him interested and really made him fall for you. I will say though that horror movies and horror based video games? Definitely solid ideas for lazy hanging out dates between the two of you and he enjoys the weirdest, most surreal and trippy things in media, be they music, film or game. Most of the others hold no interest in that kind of thing and he appreciates that he always finds a willing ear and interested party in you.

Now, I've said it a million times and I will say it a million more. Mukuro needs people who are loyal to him and will devote their attention and time to him. But he also needs people who have their own personalities, their own interests and opinions and such. While he expects you to be intensely fascinated by and to play a part in his interests, goals, hobbies, and plans, he's also going to be supportive of your own passions in his own way. While he might sometimes be away from you for periods of time, due to circumstances either beyond his control or because he does have plans that need him to travel (and he will almost always offer to take you with him), when he is with you, he's going to show an interest in what you have going on. He'll ask you to play your cello for him, praise your playing. He'll do yoga with you and especially does enjoy dancing with you. If you crochet him things or make him a bracelet, he'll wear them, even if it's only around Kokuyo Land…also, just saying, you're more likely to find him wearing a simple bracelet you made him all the time. While he won't share your love for ttrpg podcasts, he'll willingly let you rant about them and will show an interest in the stories the podcasts are telling. He also supports your voice acting career, whether you want to pursue it past the level you're at or just stick to doing it as a hobby.

The biggest way you and Mukuro really connect though? Both of you are people who really do find humans so interesting. Your conversations are never stagnant, never boring. And it's very rare that your conversations are surface level, since the both of you find it so much more interesting and entertaining to delve into the serious, sometimes the controversial. The both of you do have strong opinions on things though, so the conversations can sometimes become a bit heated, but they never become outright malicious or mean, even when you do disagree.

The sticking part for most romantic relationships, your difficulty in completely and fully trusting people? It's no problem at all for Mukuro. In fact, he wants that. He'll be the first to remind you, tossing it casually into conversations, that you should never fully trust him. He has his own secret world he'll always keep a little apart from you, his hidden dark side he doesn't like to show you. But just because he encourages you not to fully trust him doesn't mean he wants you to leave. He definitely doesn't. And it doesn't mean he won't be around for you. The thing about Mukuro is that his words don't always match his actions…and his actions will always show you that he is someone you can count on to be there for you. And while it's not an everyday thing, I will say that even his words at times will be incredibly sweet, since Mukuro has quite the honeyed tongue when he wants to.

Runners Up: Byakuran, Reborn, Gokudera, Kikyo, Fon

In my opinion, your ideal smutty match in KHR is BELPHEGOR!

While I definitely don't see a romantic relationship between you and Bel being a long lasting thing or something that would work out in the long run, but I think the two of you had an interest in each other that did start a relationship. The relationship had turned sexual and honestly, the sex was the best part of it all between you two, because the two of you really just clicked so well sexually. Even after the inevitable end of any relationship the two of you did start, the sex was just too good to quit cold turkey and I see the two of you more like amicable exes turned occasional fuck buddies.

Now, while I do see Bel having some horribly selfish tendencies during sex, I do think he's more than willing to give you the time you need to build sexual trust with him. He pushes your boundaries, yes, but he's actually observant enough to realize, every step of the way, where your limits are. The fact that your limits are constantly expanding as you do gain more trust in him actually amuses and pleases him greatly. He does everything he can to help you gain trust in him, to show you that, at least sexually speaking, he's someone who won't abuse you (unless you consent to it) because, in the end, he's terribly, terribly curious as to when you'll hit your absolute limits sexually.

You and Bel really do click on the fact that both of you are exceptionally open minded sexually. Both of you are willing to experiment and have several kinks that align with each other. But before I get into that, I really do think something that also makes you really great together sexually is that the two of you do share some of the most important hard limits. Yes, even someone like Bel has his hard limits, and feeling like they're being questioned or he's being pressured to break them because his partner asks him to try them makes him really pissed. You though…he never feels pressured with you because your hard limits - no incest play, even roleplay wise, and no bathroom play, perfectly aligns with the few hard limits Bel does have.

The fact that you are a true switch, having both a submissive side and a very dominant one really turns Bel on. While he's dominant leaning a huge portion of the time, it entertains him when you get in your dominant moods and 'put him in his place'. While he will definitely indulge those moods of yours, he's also not going to make it easy on you. He definitely will be a bratty sub for you, and might tease you that he's just showing you what it feels like when you do it to him or taunting you that he does it even better.

The fact that you can get off on pain to some extent…oh god, the things that does to Bel, he just can't describe. While he'll respect your limits of pain, he loves that you allow him some leniency there. Impact play is definitely a huge thing between the two of you. He loves using his hands to spank you, to slap at different areas of your body but he's also definitely into using paddles, whips, riding crops, and wartenberg wheels along your bare flesh. And that's definitely not the only way he's reddening or marking up your skin. The man has a distinct marking kink, and he'll drag his nails along your skin. He'll use his knives to create the tiniest, shallowest of cuts along your body if you consent. He's also not shy about using his mouth on you, both kissing, licking, and biting at your flesh to leave bruises and love-bites. He really loves leaving them in visible spots, yes, but also loves leaving them in spots that will ache a little afterwards, just as reminders for you, like your inner thighs or maybe even a bite mark on your ass.

Bel loves indulging in your interest for sensory play. Not only will he tie you up, changing up the materials used to restrain you frequently so that you don't get the same sensations every time, but he'll blindfold you, put earplugs in so that your voice kink doesn't get satisfied (because he gets off sometimes on denying you just as much as he gets off pleasing you). He'll use hot wax, ice cubes, special lubes meant to tingle or warm, and anything else he can think of to play with you.

The fact that you do have a voice kink does work well when he does indulge you in that because dirty talk is a frequent thing with Bel. He's also going to want to experiment with both free use and consensual non-consent and taking you (consensually and prior agreed upon) while you sleep. There's something wonderfully taboo about it that really makes him cum quicker than you've ever known him to, so the fact that you're both interested in experimenting with those and that you see how happy those things make him? Win-win situation.

Love and Obsession: The Tim Drake Way

part 2

Everyone in the Batfamily knows Tim Drake has… issues with boundaries. They’ve spent years trying to teach him what’s appropriate and what’s—well—deeply unsettling and completely invasive. To be fair, he’s learned. Mostly. He doesn’t stalk his family anymore (much), and he no longer pulls up files on every single person they talk to (okay, maybe just sometimes). But it’s progress.

But then Tim starts dating Danny Fenton. And, oh boy, a few screws come loose.

It starts small, as always. Just little things. Tim’s a detective, after all—background checks are second nature. Danny’s living in Gotham, and Gotham isn’t safe. So, really, what’s the harm in knowing a little more about Danny’s friends? And his professors? And maybe also his classmates? It’s just standard protocol. Okay?

“Tim, you’ve run a full dossier on my entire biology class?” Danny asks one day, laughing as he flips through a file on the coffee table. Tim shrugs. “What if one of them is dangerous?” “Pretty sure the most dangerous thing in that class is the midterm.”

Danny doesn’t think much of it. He’s a little flattered, even. Tim’s protective. It’s sweet.

But Tim’s mind doesn’t stop there. Danny’s too handsome. Too charming. What if someone tries to hurt him? What if someone tries to take him away? It’s not obsessive—it’s just concern. So, a tracker on Danny’s phone? Necessary. Cameras in his apartment? Standard. Monitoring his sleeping patterns and hangout spots? Logical.

Tim tells himself it’s love. And maybe a little insecurity.

“You have a tracker on his phone?” Dick asks, trying not to sound alarmed. Tim nods, like it’s the most normal thing in the world. “Of course. What if something happens to him?” “And the cameras?” “Safety.” “The background checks on his professors?” “Gotham U isn’t exactly known for its stellar staff, Dick.”

It doesn’t stop there. Tim knows everything. Danny’s eating habits, his favorite places to go when he’s stressed, his childhood allergies. Tim’s mapped out Danny’s entire life. He knows about Danny’s ghost powers too—of course he does. He’s Tim Drake. The moment he realized Danny was Phantom, it just… clicked.

Danny being half-ghost? That’s just one more reason to worry. Tim’s up late at night, watching for any signs of ectoplasmic interference. He tracks the energy spikes. He monitors Danny’s fights.

He doesn’t think Danny knows. He’s terrified of what will happen if he finds out.

But then he does.

One evening, Danny walks into Tim’s apartment and casually drops a folder on the table. Tim’s heart stops.

“What’s this?” Danny asks, raising an eyebrow. Tim swallows hard. “I… it’s just…” “You’ve been tracking me?” Danny opens the file, glancing through pages of surveillance reports, background checks, even analysis of his ectoplasmic energy. Tim feels like his world is about to shatter.

“I… I can explain,” Tim says, his voice tight. “I’m just… worried about you. You’re in danger all the time, and I—” Danny walks over, cupping Tim’s face in his hands. Tim braces for the worst.

But Danny just smiles. “Can I put a tracker on you too?”

Tim blinks. “What?” Danny kisses his cheek. “If you’re watching my back, it’s only fair I watch yours. I need to make sure you’re safe too.”

Tim stares at him, speechless. Danny doesn’t look scared. Or angry. He looks… fond. Like Tim’s obsessive tendencies aren’t a problem at all.

“I’ve never had someone care about me this much,” Danny says softly. “I trust you with my life, Tim. This? This just proves how serious you are.”

Tim thinks he’s just fallen deeper in love.

-------------------

The Batfamily? They’re worried.

Jason corners Tim in the cave. “Okay, so let me get this straight. You’ve got cameras in his apartment. You’ve mapped out his entire life. You’ve got a tracker on him and a heartbeat monitor. And he’s… fine with it?” Tim nods, a dreamy smile on his face. “Yeah. He even wants to put a tracker on me.” “That’s not… healthy, Tim,” Dick says carefully. “That’s—” “It’s mutual,” Tim interrupts. “We’re protecting each other.”

Bruce pinches the bridge of his nose. “Tim, this isn’t how relationships are supposed to work.” Tim shrugs. “It’s how ours works.”

Damian watches the whole thing with narrowed eyes. “This is deeply unsettling,” he mutters.

They try to talk to Danny. Intervention style. They invite him over, sit him down, and gently (or not so gently) try to explain that Tim’s behavior isn’t normal.

Danny just laughs. “You guys do know I’m half-ghost, right?” “That doesn’t mean—” Dick starts. “I spent my entire life being hunted by ghost hunters. I’ve had worse invasions of privacy.” Danny smiles. “Tim cares. He keeps me safe. That’s all I need.”

The bats don't quite know what to say.

-------------------

Tim and Danny, two slightly unhinged souls who think mutual surveillance is the ultimate act of love.

The bats? They’re just trying to keep up.

(“At least they’re happy?” Barbara offers weakly. Bruce sighs. “For now.”)

Gotham’s version of love was never going to be normal. But this? This is a whole new level.

these are their wedding rings because i said so, no i will not be taking criticism

[kedreeva]

At some point in your life, there will be a moment where exactly - or near exactly - half the people in the world are younger than you, and half the people are older.

And I think that moment should be the one your soulmate Mark appears at, not at birth or puberty or something. Both because at birth is kind of boring but it's also very you-centric and soulmates are about the thing outside of you being a part of you, and I think it would be nice to include The World.

But also I think it would have fascinating implications for scientific and social studies. Longevity trends tracked by the average age soul marks appear. Tragedies causing a rash of recent marks to disappear (because the people are no longer the middle). Marks appearing early during baby booms.

Oh! I just noticed something... this scene...

Is very clearly happening in the day (when the sun is still up).

But in episode 2, Fadel says:

Not only does this show that Style was so freaked out that he intentionally went to the gym during the day to avoid Fadel, but also our boy, Mr Plans Everything Ahead Of Time, decided to change up his whole gym routine (and brave the daytime "crowd") just to find an excuse to cuddle up to his new boyfriend and proposition him.

Fadel has like. Zero chill. 😂

Being equally obsessed with each other >>>>>>

[thatbuddie]

after buck and eddie get together, eddie starts giving buck absentminded kisses all the time.

kiss on the forehead after he passes him his morning coffee. kiss on the cheek while buck is cooking dinner. kiss on the back of his hand as buck drives them to bobby’s house for a family bbq. kiss on top of his head while they cuddle watching a documentary. kiss on his shoulder while they sit on the station couch reading in between calls.

but buck’s favorite kisses? the ones edde blows him from a distance. when no one is looking during a call and they have to separate, buck doing evac and eddie treating some minor burns. when buck is pulling out of the their driveway to go meet maddie and jee for lunch and eddie sees him off from the front porch. during their family night out at the movies with chris in between them before the action film their son chose and they’re both probably going to hate begins.

every single blown kiss is always followed by eddie mouthing “i love you” at him, and every single time buck feels himself start to blush, the butterflies in his stomach staging a very chaotic and uncoordinated flash mob.

there’s something so exhilarating about knowing that no matter how close or far away they physically are eddie always wants to be kissing him. like eddie knows just as well as buck does that his lips were always meant to graze buck’s skin and leave behind goosebumps for hours to come.

even when they can’t see each other at all, buck knows eddie is thinking about it too because eddie does not go more than 3 hours without sending him little 😘 emojis. he doesn’t say anything else, doesn’t contextualize them because he doesn’t need to. it's just random 😘 throughout the day, scattered in between the rest of their texts.

buck [3:33pm]: got caught in traffic, chris and i will be there soon! eddie [3:33pm]: ok, hen and denny just arrived eddie [6:03pm]: 😘

eddie [11:27am]: can you write “chris dentist appointment” on the kitchen calendar for 10/17? buck [11:31am]: done! eddie [11:32am]: thanks, baby eddie [2:16pm]: 😘

&

buck [10:08am]: we also need eggs! buck [11:43am]: remind me to replace the lightbulb in chris’s bedside lamp eddie [1:14pm]: 😘 eddie [3:09pm]: your amazon package just arrived buck [3:09pm]: yaaaaaaay eddie [7:24pm]: 😘

&

eddie [6:02am]: 😘 eddie [8:56am]: 😘 eddie [9:07am]: 😘 eddie [12:31pm]: 😘 buck [3:17pm]: 😘😘😘

C Nanbaka Romantic Match

So, as I've mentioned before, I find it hard to do matches for you when we talk about your (and my own) faves so much so I already know who you're in love with. So, of course, I'm going to match you and ship you with SAMON GOKUU!

Neither you nor Samon are people who rush into things, especially romantic relationships. In fact, romantic relationships are not something that is top priority for either of you and, as cliché as this is starting to sound here on the blog, I see the two of you starting off as polite acquaintances, growing into friends. I also think this is a friendship that takes a while to grow into a really solid one, just because Samon is so busy with his job that he doesn't always have the amount of free time needed, or even that he'd like, to really spend a lot of time building solid friendships outside of his fellow guards. But a friendship definitely does develop between the two of you and both of you are content and happy getting to know and learn about each other. Neither of you rush things, even when one of you starts to develop feelings beside friendship for the other. In fact, when Samon does realize his feelings aren't entirely friendship based, he'll be really confused about it. He's not stupid, he knows what romance is, but he has such little experience with it and it's likely to really be the first time he's felt serious romantic interest in someone. Whether those feelings would potentially ruin the wonderful friendship the two of you had developed also took the two of you time to wrestle with and something the both of you really had to deal with and come to peace with before the two of you had the discussion needed to change the relationship from purely platonic into the sweet and innocent romance it did become.

And I do say innocent because, of course, there is never going to be a sexual component to your romance with Samon. It can sometimes invite judgment, and definitely confusion, from others around you, but the fact that you are sex-repulsed and Samon not only respects that, but honestly is perfectly content without sex himself as he's lived his whole life a virgin and has never considered his life poorer for it, means that not having that sexual component is what works the best for the two of you. Of course, while you might sometimes be upset about people's judgment and remarks, you largely accept them and stay quiet or deal with your emotions on your own, whereas Samon is definitely ready to fight anyone who dares to judge not only him but you.

Now, going into the rest of it, it's not going to be any particular order or any set format as to how your relationship developed or anything like that but mostly just me acknowledging the two of you are in a relationship and hey, this is what some of the parts of the relationship look like and I hope you don't mind that's how I chose to do it! It not only made it a little easier for me, writing wise, but it just made more sense in my head.

So, starting off by repeating once again that Samon is not at all stupid. He's quite smart in his own way but he can be a little simplistic in some ways in that he really does take a lot of things at face value. And because of that way of thinking of his, he really appreciates your lack of a poker face. Once he gets to know you well enough, he can almost always figure out what you're thinking, even back when the two of you were just friends. By the time he gets into a relationship with you, he can always tell what you're thinking and feeling. It makes it a lot easier for him because he never really has to guess if you're happy or if you're upset. And he's actually a little proud, when he can read you completely, that he can, especially if those around you can't do that all the time. It's just a little reminder for him, and something that makes him smile and kind of swell with that pride that you're his and he knows you just as well by now as you know yourself. If you can do the same to him, it will really make him ecstatic.

While it takes Samon a little while to fully understand that sometimes, when you are upset or feeling really emotional, you really do need some peace and time to yourself. He's someone who really is compelled to take everything on himself and he wants nothing more than to solve all your problems for you and the fact that you can't always let him do that might frustrate him at first. It really takes him a little bit to get over it, to swallow his pride enough to learn that sometimes you just need to get some time to yourself, some space, and that there are some problems you really do need to turn around in your own head and solve yourself. Once he learns that, if the problem is big enough for you, after you do have that time to yourself, you're more than willing to talk to him about it, that you still do depend on him in tough times, then he's more willing and able to comprehend that need of yours and give you that time and space.

Samon really does hold a lot of respect for you. Being someone who is so energetic, so disciplined and so used to very physical work and training, it took him a little bit to get used to the fact that you didn't have as much energy or the physical ability to do everything he could do or that most people could do. However, because he did grow up with Noriko and she also had her own issues, though nowhere as severe as you, he was a little more ready to accept and deal with it than some of the other guards and prisoners were. He also, through really getting to know you and how you live every day, grew to really respect you. While you might have days where you don't have the energy to do everything, he sees how hard you work to do everything you need to for physio or to keep your body as healthy as it can be. He knows those things are sometimes really hard for you, painful, or sucky, but he sees that you try your best, each and every day despite your disabilities. And that's a thing that will always gain his respect - effort and, of course, your positivity in the face of everything. He's definitely going to encourage you to keep as healthy as you can, to do the hard things, and to be the best you can be, but he realizes that can look different on different days. He's also going to make it clear that he's proud of you when you do do the difficult things, though it won't always be verbal praise since he can sometimes struggle a little with that. I see him being more head pets, or a small treat or just comments about how great you're doing rather than him physically saying that 'I'm proud of you'.

Now, I do see a sticking point between you and Samon being your real lack of planning. Samon always has a routine, a schedule…he knows what he's going to be doing every day, knows what he needs to do throughout the day and such. Your more lackadaisical approach to your days, where you don't set much in stone, really throws him off and he doesn't understand it at all. He doesn't get your habit of being easily distracted because it's so different from how he is. That being said, while he'll never understand it and doesn't necessarily think it's the best way to live life, he tries hard not to judge too harshly and does see that living like that makes you the happiest. He largely lives life his way and tries to let you live it your way. However, he can get frustrated if, during time spent with him or conversations with him, you space out or get distracted too often, mostly because he really does want your full attention. When you do explain that it's just your brain really never shutting off, that there's always noise up there, he will understand a little bit better, as he's someone who is also always mentally on in some way, even if it's just focusing in on training and sensations, but he'll still never fully understand. He also does expect plans for the two of you to be made in advance and for you to be able to stick to them if at all possible. He will occasionally do spontaneous visits or plans, but because of his work and his training and all that, he really does need plans done in advance.

Samon is someone who, while he does everything he can to remain realistic and even optimistic, can fall into brooding or dwelling on his issues and inferiority problems and can sometimes fall into doubting himself a little. He really does depend on you, more than you'll ever know, during those times, which you often won't even know are happening. You're positive outlook on people and life in general really help him, as does how very positive you are about him. You never leave him any doubts that you not only truly love him, but see him as this really amazing man, with all these lovely things about him. You remind him, in his darkest moments or the moments when he starts to doubt, to not only see the best in people, in life, but also in himself.

Both you and Samon also have very strong moral codes that really do link up well together. You're always very empathic and you really care about others. Not only are you always willing to help and lend a hand to those in need, but your passion and conviction that innocents should always be protected and that 'bad' people should really be punished does align with his own beliefs, though he does tend to believe more in rehabilitation and helping those bad people become better or at least useful to society. He loves and finds it something to admire in you that you really do have a healthy respect for the rules. While you might break rules that you see as unreasonable (which even Samon himself can sometimes do), you do see the reasoning behind a lot of the rules and do your best to follow them and he appreciates that and how well it aligns with his own beliefs and the way he lives his life.

I will say that one area that you and Samon might run into problems and little arguments in is that he'll often push you to try for a little better in this or that. He really does shoot for the stars and pushes himself to higher and higher limits at all times and as much as he tries to respect the fact that you know yourself and your body and your abilities better than anyone else, he can sometimes forget that fact or some of his comments might make it seem like he's not respecting that. You can see what he's thinking is encouragement and positivity from his as negativity or unrealistic expectations and it can sometimes cause little arguments. Thankfully both of you are quick to forgive and move on and put aside those petty squabbles once hurt feelings are soothed a little bit and the two of you have a chance to kind of communicate a bit. While saying he's sorry is something Samon struggles with verbally doing, you'll know he regrets making you feel bad and you'll see the efforts he's making to make it up to you.

Once you do develop a good friendship with Samon and settle into feeling really comfortable with him, one of the most pleasant things for you is that he does allow you to be unrealistic and silly with him. While he'll have no trouble talking about serious things with you, and does so surprisingly well at times, he's also perfectly happy to keep things light and fun, to talk about unrealistic or impossible things. In fact, he really likes to do so with you, to try to get you going and to make you laugh. He's always so proud of himself whenever he makes you laugh, after all, and it's one of his favourite sounds.

That being said, Samon can sometimes have a bad habit of dominating your conversations with him. It really comes down to how loud and talkative a person he is in comparison to your more quiet nature. He'll happily talk your ear off and it excites him that you never shut him down or tell him to be quiet or insult him in any way, like he's used to some of the other Nanba staff doing. You always make it seem like you're perfectly happy to listen to him for any length of time and he can sometimes fall too much into that happiness and doesn't always remember to give you the space to talk as well. He does try really hard though to remember, even with his slips now and then. And honestly, given his really great sense of hearing, he's one of the few who always does hear you start to speak, even if you falter or have to restart. He has a cute habit of really leaning into you to make sure he catches everything you say, since you do have a quiet little voice, that often made you a little embarrassed by the closeness and proximity of his body and face to yours at first.

One of the things that Samon really does admire about you is how easily you can accept that people don't like you. You don't really let it bother you, and you'll readily admit that there are things about you that might be annoying to some people or that people might have reasons not to like or to be upset about. He struggles with feeling disliked and he struggles with feeling not good enough, so admitting his own shortcomings and becoming okay with being disliked is something he does need to work on and does need to improve on. He knows that, but it is hard for him and how effortless you make it look really does impress him.

Samon does little things to try to protect you. Of course, he obviously sticks up for you whenever he thinks anyone is being unfair or outright mean to you, but he also tries to protect you in little ways, and sometimes those little ways can annoy you actually. The one that really does bother you the most is that he will sometimes hide his own issues, his problems, or things he thinks might upset you from you. He really is only doing it because he does want to protect you from any upset or bad emotions, but you have to remind him that you are more than capable of handling your emotions and you really want to be there for him, no matter what is happening, and that you are an adult capable of understanding that sometimes the world is not a perfectly kind place. Another little, and more happiness producing for you, way that Samon tries to protect you is that he'll do everything he can to find the least crowded places to take you or to be with you because he knows that crowds do give you anxiety. He also does everything he can to keep the area quiet when he's with you, or to forewarn you of any strange noises you might hear, as he knows how much unexpected noises bother you. He'll also try everything he can to keep people from just barging in on the two of you or will warn you of the possibility that people might, knowing that unexpected interruptions also give you anxiety and make you freeze up, though you always try your best to really make the best of the situation and figure out how to proceed (and boy, is that another thing he really does respect).

Growing up in the mountains as he did, and then dedicating himself to training and work, Samon really doesn't know much of anything about pop culture or media in general. Once he does learn how much it means to you, your shows and movies, your YouTube videos, and your occasional novels, he really does try to get more into pop culture and media. He largely takes his guide on what to watch and read from you though, and some of the other staff members. He likes best letting you guide him towards things though, because it gives him someone to watch something with (though he's horrible for talking during shows) or someone to really talk to about his opinions on something you recommended for him to read. While he won't grow as attached to fictional characters as you will, he will definitely gain his own favourites and will happily talk to you about both his favourite character's cool moments and your favourite's really cool moments. He's not hugely imaginative though, and doesn't really think about the characters beyond what is really shown plain out. Again, Samon is kind of a guy who takes what they see at face value. While you won't have his very first cinema experience with him, he's definitely someone who goes to the theatre more because of your influence and it becomes an easy date night idea for the two of you, if something is playing that he knows you want to see.

You'll probably end up getting Samon into not only more media and pop culture but also at least one cheesy, fun little phone game. Where you have that one game you adore, that he finds you playing while you zone out to music, and given how happy he sees it making you, he can't not try it out. Samon has at least one phone game you introduce him to that he can figure out how to play and do well at (since honestly, he's kind of terrible at tech).

Maybe it's because Samon really isn't someone blessed with a lot of creativity himself and a real active imagination, but your creative nature really does impress him. The things you think up, the effort and skills you show in crafts like diamond painting or latch-hooking, and especially the stories you pour your effort and time into…they all really astound him and it really is because those are all things that Samon just can't do. He is someone who cannot help but respect people who can do things that he can't, after all. He also sees how happy these creative pursuits make you, which makes him like them more. He's always happy to read your stories if he has the time and he'll always find things to compliment about them. He listens to your thoughts and to your headcanons about not only your favourite characters but your original characters and he'll give his honest opinions. That being said, because Samon is who he is, there will be times he pouts or gets upset when you get on a roll about your favourites or will kind of go quiet on you after reading some chapters. It all boils down to him being pouty and jealous because 'do you like them more than you like me?' Yes, that's right, he definitely will sometimes get jealous of completely fictional characters.

Like I've said, Samon is someone whose very face value and who, while observant, doesn't really delve too deep into why people act the way they do, why they react certain ways, why they do the things they do and really doesn't analyze or think too hard about people and their distinct personalities. And because that is the sort of person, he really doesn't get how much you love doing that, though he definitely respects and is a little blown away by how much knowledge you have on that subject. The amount of research you do, how much time and effort you put into learning, and how passionate you are about personality types is something he doesn't understand but that he really does enjoy listening to you talk about. He does everything he can to learn about them, to remember what you tell him about them and he tries to be a good student because of how important the subject is for you. And you can definitely see his efforts and how much attention he does actually pay to you when you talk to him about it, because you'll bring up a personality type and he'll mention 'oh, that's the type that are like this and this, right?', going off of prior knowledge you've told him, and I think it does matter to you and is something you find sweet, that he puts in that effort to learn and share about something that you do love so dearly.

On top of trying to protect you in little ways, Samon will also try quite hard, though it doesn't always show, to make you comfortable. One of the most obvious examples, and the most noticeable one, is that he'll learn how important your study is to you. It's your safe space, the place you feel most you and the most relaxed and since there is travel in the two of you seeing each other, he'll do everything he can to recreate your study in his own place, just to allow you to always have that comfort space and that 'you' space. He'll even hunt down and pay extreme amounts to have exact duplicates of your plushies in that study, including your beloved Haikyuu!! plush.

Samon really does eat minimally and treats food very much like fuel. He's very health conscious and doesn't think much about food beyond its nutritional value for the most part. He does have his few guilty pleasure treats, like his popsicles, but he tries hard not to really find a lot of pleasure in food, just because of how strictly he was raised. It's through his relationship with you that he develops a slightly more balanced attitude towards food. While you don't overeat or really over-indulge in food, you do have a much more pronounced love for it and you encourage Samon to try out different types of foods and to allow himself those moments of food indulgence. He also sees that there are times you really do allow yourself to indulge, to really enjoy how amazing some foods can be, and that you remain largely healthy (and happier because of those moments), so he starts to relax about his finicky food habits and does find joy in food, especially in the shared meals together with you.

You and Samon both do find a lot of beauty and peace in being in nature and it's another thing that becomes an easy and relaxed date for the two of you. He'll enjoy showing you the beautiful gardens and ponds of Building 5 or of finding easy to maneuver parks, forests, and mountains that you can reasonably manage walking in for dates. The fact that you will need breaks to rest actually makes it even better, as the two of you sit in largely companionable silence and just enjoy the beautiful views. He's always happy to point out things that he really likes or finds especially beautiful about the view and he expects and encourages you to do the same.

Your need for peace and alone time works out well in your relationship with Samon. The truth of the matter is that his work really is incredibly important to him and that his work will keep him away from you for periods of time. He'll have periods where he'll be too busy to really spend a lot of time with you or do more than message or have a phone call with you. And you really do use those times to get the space and peace you need. He never feels like his job, his goals, and his dedication to those goals is a huge inconvenience for you, because you never let him feel that way and you find a way to make that time apart beneficial for yourself.

You can often make Samon laugh, sometimes even without really trying. Bad puns and word play always gets to him, and the fact that that sort of humour is up your alley means you can always gain at least a smile and a joking 'that's so terrible' from him.

You and Samon actually are very similar in the things you dislike or the things that bother and upset you. While Samon can sometimes come across as rude or impudent towards others, you always know he's coming from a good spot and he's actually someone who does dislike rudeness and bullying from anyone. He hates seeing people be used, abused, mocked unfairly, or treated badly and he's always going to stick up for people when he can or he'll try to find a way to help them. You consider that one of his best qualities and it is something that really matters to you.

Both you and Samon dislike liars. Nothing will bother the two of you more than finding out someone has been lying to you, especially if they're justifying it by saying they had to lie to spare your feelings. You never have to worry about Samon lying to you, because while he might try to hide some emotions or problems, he'll always be honest with you. He doesn't have it in him to really lie and deceive people, especially those he really cares about. And knowing that you're a truthful sort of person really is something that allowed Samon to grow as close a bond to you as he did develop. To him, honesty is a sign of trust and respect, and he not only needs to feel that towards you but needs to know you feel the same towards him, so your honesty with him is one of the ways he is able to know it.

This can sometimes be a little unwelcome though, as Samon will call out your less than positive traits, often accusing you of being a little stubborn. Of course, you will often call him naggy in return, since he will ask you repeatedly to do something. It's one of those things that make you feel pressured and annoyed, so you drag your feet on doing it, which makes him nag more, and it's one of the few other things I can see the two of you arguing about.

Samon is an intensely loyal person. He truly loves so few people and those he does love? He's going to be fiercely loyal, protective, and those people will always have his support. There could be a big fight, things could go south and the two of you might not talk for a week…heck, you could go a month or two without talking while feelings heal but if at any time, even with his feelings hurt, you contact Samon and need his help, he's going to drop everything the second it's possible to help you. That's just the amount of loyalty this man possesses and the fact that you will return that in kind, to the point where you will put aside your distaste for conflict to speak up or fight, is part of what makes this relationship as strong as it is.

It's in Samon that you find that perfect blend of best friend and romantic partner. He's someone who never judges you, though, as mentioned, he will call out your more unsavory traits or will tell you when he thinks you're in the wrong. However, he always does so as gently as someone like him possibly can and he only does so when the two of you are alone together. He always has your back publicly. He always does his best to see your point of view too before he rushes to snap judgments. You know that no matter what, you can always go to Samon to talk about anything and everything, serious to silly, and find a listening ear, a protective guardian, a true friend. The two of you create so many happy, wonderful memories together that you both treasure. He's uncomfortable a bit to begin with in both verbal and physical affection but he grows more comfortable with it, especially since he's relatively touch-starved as a person. He grows to not only love the physical affection you show him but initiates cuddling, hugs, and non-sexual touches himself. One of his favourite ways of showing you physical affection is either head pets or through sitting you down and brushing out your hair for you and then using his fingers to trace the curves of your ear or your shoulders, just because he gets to feel useful while also getting to smell you, feel your warm body, and touch your soft skin and ways that also feel nice to you.

There are so many little things about you that just make you 'you' and they're all things that Samon considers irresistibly cute, to be honest. You laughing to yourself because something you thought of amused you, the way you carry on conversations with yourself out loud, the way you're fidgety in small ways, like your fingers always tapping. It's all so very adorable to him.

scott summers and jean grey but like this:

- jean grey immediately experiencing love at first sight for the scrawny teenage boy struggling to carry her suitcase up the stairs but being too hard headed to accept help

- (as they become friends when scott’s being annoying she absolutely trips him with her teke)

- scott summers after all the childhood trauma, thinks jean grey’s friendship is the best thing that has ever happened to him

- jean grey 10000% being the one to lean in and kiss him first, scott summers is wrecked !! this naturally leads to scott “my wife is so much cooler me” summers as adults

- despite scott’s mask of self assurance and natural leadership, he confides in jean that he’s afraid this cocky bravado —- is sometimes just a show

- scott summers takes pride in being jean grey’s partner it’s such a badge of honor to love her, understand her, belong in her head
