If it's not a problem and you are currently still accepting requests, I would like to ask for a sfw alphabet for Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho, please?

Yu Yu Hakusho ~SFW alphabet~

Manga/anime: Yu Yu Hakusho

Warnings: nothing

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

He isn't a fan of showing his affection through gestures: he prefers to do it through his words. In fact, he's very good with words: he can cheer you up when you're sad, increase your self-esteem if it's in pieces, always make you feel loved... In addition, he loves leaving complimentary notes for you in your home.

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

Probably, your friendship would have started through Yusuke, who had introduced you to him. As your best friend, he would be someone who always gives good advice: he's a great conversationalist and always able to give you advice from an unbiased perspective. Furthermore, if you're a very instinctive person, he would balance you with his calm personality.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

At the beginning of your relationship, he got tense and felt slightly uncomfortable cuddling with you; then, though, he got used to your affection quite quickly. In fact, usually he cuddles with you in your bed, just before you two fall asleep and on your sofa when it rains and if you've had a bad day. Fun fact: even if he doesn't show it, Youko loves to cuddle with you and, if you stroke his hair and fox ears, he'll melt in your arms.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

He definitely wants to settle down with you: since he realized he loved you, he decided he would spend his whole life with you, also because he likes the domesticity of being human. I think he's quite capable of taking care of the house and himself: he knows how to clean and cook basic dishes.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

If he had to break up with you, he would try to use his words to make his breakup speech sweeter, but that would make your separation very emotional and filled with tears, and he would hug you sweetly before leaving you. He would want you two to remain friends anyway, but he wouldn't be offended if you never wanted to see him again.

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

In his past life as Youko, marriage was literally the last thing on his mind; nevertheless, as Shuichi, he wants more and more that taste of domesticity and humanity. In fact, he's someone who doesn't have short or casual relationships with anyone: if he's dating someone, he plans to settle down, get married and have a family with them.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

He's incredibly gentle both physically and emotionally, ald also both as Shuichi and as Youko! The first is truly kindness done to a person: if you need help, he's always there; if you're sad, he's already with open arms, ready to hug you; he always goes out of his way to make you happy and keep your smile... The second, instead, is kind in his own way: that can be seen particularly in his gestures, and especially in his touch, which always remains soft and sweet, even when he's angry.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

As I wrote previously, he wasn't used to physical affection (and that includes hugs) at first, but then he quickly warmed up to you. However, despite that, he still gets embarrassed to hug you; if, instead, you're the first to initiate the hug, he'll return it without any problems. For that reason, his hugs are very rare unless you start them but, when they happen, the sensations you feel are warmth and protection thanks to his arms.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

It happened after some time, but not too much. In reality, he hadn't planned to tell you he loved you: it happened after you had risked your life and he had saved you; he was so scared of losing you he let it slip out. I think he would have told you anyway during that period, though: for him, falling in love with you was inevitable, and telling you so eased his nerves and filled him with a sense of pride.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they're jealous?)

Depending on how good at observing you're, you may never even notice his jealousy: indeed, he gets jealous, but he's extremely subtle about it. For instance, if he notices someone is too close to you, he'll come closer to you and watch them until them get the hint and walk away. If he were Youko, though, I feel sorry for those who hit on you, because he would either tear them apart or scare them a lot.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

He never kisses you in public. In private or with your most trusted friends, instead, he kisses you every now and then, but you're the one who initiates the kisses more often and his kisses are always chaste, light, sweet and soft. The places where he kisses you most are the forehead, the hand and, more rarely, the cheeks; I think the place he would prefer to be kissed would be the cheek, because other places would embarrass him.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

He's incredibly efficient about making sure children's needs are tended to and he does what is necessary to take care of them, and I think the quality he demonstrates most with them is the ability to understand their desires and needs, even if they're very young and therefore don't speak yet. But he isn't so good at entertaining kids.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

He's a morning person, so he typically wakes up before you. After getting up, he gives you a sweet kiss on your forehead and goes first to get ready for the day and then to prepare breakfast for you; then, if he has to go on a mission, he'll leave you a note next to your breakfast letting you know he goes out and wishing you a good day, but, if he has no missions, he'll wake you up gently by bringing you breakfast in bed.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

The nights you spend together happen quite often, so you've developed your own routine: after eating and washing the dishes together, you two go to get ready for bed, and then you sit on the sofa to watch a movie, read or chat; generally you fall asleep against him, and sometimes he takes you to bed and, after setting up in the living room, lies down next to you, other times he's so tired he falls asleep with you on the sofa.

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

His openness depends on which part of him you met: if you met him as Kurama, you'll probably know about his past soon enough but, if you met him as Shuiichi, he knows sooner or later his past will come out, but he isn't entirely sure on how explain it, so he'll wait to tell you it until you discover it naturally.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

He never, never gets angry with you. Even if he got annoyed with you, he would never go so far as to yell at you or hurt you due to anger, but he would still try to talk to you; in the most extreme case, he would move away from you so as not to turn annoyance into anger. He may only get angry with someone if they insult or hurt you, his family or friends.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

All. He remembers everything, he never forgets even a single detail about you. However, despite being a great observer, able to grasp many details about you, he prefers hearing you talk about yourself, since he's loves hearing your voice.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

His favorite moment of your relationship is your first kiss: it was New Year's Eve, and you two were on your house's balcony watching the beautiful fireworks; you were cold and he offered to give his jacket to you, but you refused, since otherwise he would be the one who was cold, so you hugged him and he covered both of you with it, and during the last fireworks he gently cupped your cheek and kissed you.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

He isn't particularly protective, as he knows he's feared by other youkai enough to make sure you aren't attacked. However, he's still partly an animal, therefore, if he senses there's danger, he'll hover over you protectively. The best way to protect him is to remind him to take care of himself and he's human, and human bodies will give out a lot sooner than youkai ones.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

It depends: as Shuichi, he doesn't put much effort into them, but only because he loves simple things, so for example his typical dates are at your home reading a book or watching a movie together, or his gifts appear simple, but they've a great meaning; as Youko, he's a real exhibitionist, who has to show all the youkai that you're his partner.

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

He tends to overwork himself: sometimes, it even gets to the point where you've to force him onto bedrest for the sake of his health! That's a hard habit to break, but he's trying very hard for you to overcome it, because he knows it worries you a lot.

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

He doesn't worry too much about his appearance, except for his hair: he takes great care of it, especially because he makes some of his plants' seeds grow there, so he has to create the conditions to preserve them all the time.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

He would feel very lonely without you: by now he has gotten used to your presence, so he would feel strange not to sleep with you, eat with you, talk to you... Indeed, if he has to move away from you, he wants to call or video call you to see or hear you. However, every now and then he needs to take time to be alone and reflect.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them)

He has a ton of brief relationship experience from his time as Youko, but one thing is a little relationship with a youkai, another is a long relationship with you, the human with whom he wants to spend his whole life. His old partners are never mentioned by him, and for him they aren't important at all, as they're part of his criminal past.

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn't like, either in general or in a partner?)

He doesn't like people who are fake, evil or who treat others badly, so he wouldn't want a partner like that. He also wouldn't like a too clingy fiancé, especially if it was at a time when he would like to be alone to think or reflect.

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)

He's a super light sleeper, mostly out of instinct, since for a long time he slept out in the open in Makai (Demon World), so the lightest shift in movement can wake him up. Since he's been dating you, while still a light sleeper, he's trying to get used to your movement patterns during the night.
