♡ dating team 7 hcs ♡

Naruto

asks Jiraiya for help on how to win you over but ends up making a fool of himself and just asking you out spontaneously

he would literally be the most fun boyfriend ever?? you will never be bored with this man

prepare for some fun, adventurous dates - think amusement parks, ziplining, ANYTHING to get you out of your comfort zone

(but also be ready for lots of laid back lunch dates at Ichiraku's of course ;))

he's always tryna to make you laugh, he feels best when he can see how happy he's making you

literally wants to show you off to EVERYONE and never stops talking about you

"Kakashi-sensei have you met my girlfriend?" "Sorry, Konohamaru, I've got to meet my girlfriend."

on that note: WEAR THIS MAN'S JACKET!!!! he will melt

prefers to be the big spoon but give this boy a cuddle every now and then, he thinks its cute how you hang off of him

so nervous/eager for your first kiss he smashes his lips into yours so hard it almost hurts

he gets the hang of it though don't worry

Sakura

asks you out with a heartfelt note from a secret admirer but you know it's from her because she's so OBVIOUS

genuine romantic, lets get a fancy dinner and watch the sunset together kind of partner

will probably expect flowers and gifts for every small occasion but it's okay because she'll always get them for you too

dates. all. the. time. going on a mission together? that's a date. doing groceries? date.

loves holding hands in public so people know you're together

actually, just expect tons of PDA with this one

will definitely want to share clothes if you're the same size

"you just look cuter in my sweater.... and I like the smell of yours"

soft and gentle in your relationship but will literally cut a bitch that says anything bad about you

will cuddle you in every position, all night long. she just needs to feel you near her at all times

your first kiss is small and sweet followed by an adorable blush. which one of you initiated? you can't even remember, it just happened

Sasuke

this angsty boy... he AGONIZES over how to tell you his feelings, but ends up just coming clean one night and asking you out directly after bottling it in for so long

an actual rambling mess. eloquence? never met her. it's adorable really

hesitant about pda. like, how do affection??? but if anyone tries anything with you he is there, arm around your shoulder, making sure they know you're taken

oblivious at first, he's never done this okay?? but is so dedicated to making you happy he never stops trying

lowkey, chill dates that are actually hella romantic??

this man wants to lay together on a blanket and watch the stars with you then fall asleep in each other's arms

tries to convince you he prefers to be the big spoon but you know the truth

the first time he notices his clothes are missing he's annoyed, but as soon as he sees you wearing he absolutely changes his mind

"are you going out? you should put my sweater on its cold"

First kiss is passionate and needy af. this man has been so starved of affection and he didn't even realize it

this never changes

Kakashi

just as nervous to ask you out as Sasuke... actually, you might even have to do it

he just can't believe you really like him? are you sure??

after he catches on he's head over heels

always thinking of you. will bring you back little trinkets and things that remind him of you from missions

much prefers a night in with a homemade dinner or a picnic in the woods to public date in a fancy restaurant

(also you know that packed lunch is gonna be tasty af, this man can COOK)

TOUCH STARVED TOUCH STARVED TOUCH STARVED

is hesitant to cuddle at first (hello trauma) but once he opens up he is literally attached to your hip

big spoon, little spoon, who cares? just hold him

generally not huge on pda but always has a hand on you when you're in public. arm casually draped over your shoulder, hand on your thigh, whatever

first kiss he leaves the mask on, its just a quick peck but he couldn't wait any longer and leans in without thinking

when he finally takes it off OMG, that kiss is so long and deep. he never wants to let you go

DATING SUNA...

in honor of this smexy middle blocker’s birthday, here are MANY hcs about what i think dating suna would be like (as exhaustively as possible) bcs he’s on my mind 25/8 <3

cw : one or two suggestive stuff, mentions of food

— EARLY RELATIONSHIP

• ok so suna would definitely not waste his time dating someone if he wasn’t truly in love

• that’s why it took him a few months to ask you out because 1. he wanted to be sure of his feelings 2. he wanted to be sure of yours 3. he was scared

• he probably acted detached at first, but it was just to compensate for the fact that you had him wrapped around your finger since day 1

• he probably didn’t officially tell his friends that you were dating and just casually kissed you before for his class (lowkey enjoyed leaving without a word while everyone else was freaking out)

• nicknames came after a few weeks, when he ‘accidentally’ called you babe after asking for a kiss. yeah he is that smooth

• because it took him so many months to ask you out, you already knew each other pretty well so he felt comfortable around you very quickly

• and he tried his best to make you feel the same if you were a bit more nervous

• honestly he couldn’t wait for you two to become closer over time <3 he's a sucker for the boyfriend/bestfriend dynamic

— LOVE LANGUAGE

->| QUALITY TIME

• he cherishes every single moment you spend together, even if it’s just for a few minutes between classes

• sure, there are times where you two just hang out at his place or yours, scrolling on your phones and enjoying each other’s company. but tell him once that you want to talk to him about something and you’ll have his undivided attention

• and lemme just kdjqdhvjdmsjvh real quick : eye contact. that’s how you know he’s listening, and he always leans in just enough for you to know that he’s paying attention. no phone in sight, just you.

• he doesn’t need to take you out on fancy dates for it to be called quality time, because he values impromptu face-to-face late night conversations much more than a dinner at the restaurant.

— DATES

• your first date was one of the only dates you spent outside, it was nothing extravagant you just went for coffee after school and ended up walking through the city, holding hands for the first time

• once you guys started officially dating, you realized that at-home dates were actually more your thing. but there needs to be a difference with the rest of the time you spend at home, so you always have one or two things planned like :

• cook together an elaborate meal for once, actually put an effort in the choice of the movie/tv show you’re gonna watch (and not end up watching rick and morty for the 23rd time this week), try the most questionable face masks recipes - he loves them and doesn’t even deny it

• but i feel like you guys might go out for your anniversaries, and it’s a great opportunity for him to take really nice pictures of you and update his phone’s lockscreen (he’s a huge simp)

• your dates often take place in the evening because he loves to see your face illuminated by the city lights, and he likes to know that you might get cold because he can be smooth af and give you his jacket (most of the pictures are taken when you’re wearing it)

• i think official and ‘elaborated’ dates with suna maybe occur every two weeks because he wants them to be special and likes to look forward to them

— CUDDLES

• he gets a kick out of kissing your whole face except your lips, but really he’s just waiting for you to get frustrated and kiss him yourself

• however, if you ever don’t play along he’ll stop like “wtf you’re not supposed to do nothing”

• he’ll give you lazy and passive cuddles where you just lay on top of him, hugging him while he watches something on tv or on his phone, BUT

• if he ever wraps a blanket around you then real cuddles begin. i’m talking scalp massages, back strokes, kisses, playing with your hands...

• i just know his kisses are aphrodisiac, there’s something about the way he holds your head still with his hands that’s just UGHHH

• you could be sharing a perfectly peaceful moment together and he’ll suddenly get bored and feel an urge to tickle your sides, squish your cheeks or randomly blow in your face/ear

• but god forbid you ever do that to him, he will crush you with all his weight until you can’t move

• he also uses your hand to scratch his back because he can’t do it without writhing like a cat, not that you’d complain about seeing that one day

• you two always end up dozing and losing track of time. “we stayed like that for NINETY MINUTES?” (he’d have to find an excuse for being late at practice, because there’s no way in hell he will tell the truth in front of the twins)

• it’s very likely that you guys wake up still cuddling after nine hours of sleep. i mean it’s canon that he has a good shoulder mobility so he can keep holding you even if you’ve moved in your sleep

• his biggest struggle is morning cuddles because it’s really hard for him to get out of bed and go on with his day when he’s so comfortable in bed with you

— PDA

• i think he’d adapt to your needs, he doesn’t really mind pda

• if he ever pulls you in for a hug in public, it won’t always be a soft and sweet hug, no. sometimes it might look like a literal headlock, but he’ll give you a quick peck on the head to make up for it

• in fact the only times his hugs are sweet and lovey in public are after his matches

• if atsumu ever makes fun of him for ‘being a softie’, he’ll do the exact opposite of what’s expected of him : and by that i mean ruthlessly tongue-kiss you until tsumu begs him to stop

• he uses hugs as a way to talk shit to you about someone without them realizing it

• he doesn’t necessarily hold your hand all the time but he has affectionate gestures like giving you little pats on the head or wiping dirt off of your clothes

• pokes your cheek for no reason, and that’s daily

• he’s also a fricken tease and doesn’t have any problem with gripping your thigh when you’re sat at a table :)

— COUPLE DYNAMIC

• he tries so hard to act like you’re the clingy one but everyone knows it’s a lie

• he probably has a private story called ‘being held against my will’ where it’s just him roasting you on a daily basis

• which is a great contrast with all the albums full of pictures of you in his camera roll. like i said, he’s a MAJOR SIMP

• you also have a private story called ‘exposing the truth’ and it’s filled with stolen clichés of him being a needy and whiny little bïtch (sorry i got carried away) : it’s the twins’ main source of blackmail

• i said before that suna’s a sucker for the boyfriend/bestfriend dynamic. yeah well you guys definitely have it - you can spend entire afternoons together without once acting like a couple

• he’d give you a kidney if you ever needed one, but steal one of his fries and he’ll flip your chair over without thinking twice

•  you both think that your failed attempts at being romantic are hilarious. one time he tried to kiss you under the rain but you were so cold that you couldn’t stop your teeth from chattering and yeah it was just terrible

• the efforts you put in to embarrass each other are remarkable. you once kissed him in a supermarket and he just pulled away, yelling “MOM AND DAD SAID NOT IN PUBLIC !”

— RANDOM HCS THAT GIVE ME LIFE

• remember when i said you guys would do face masks together ? yeah well suna doesn’t own any headband which means that you have to tie his hair up in two pigtails at the front (it’s too short for one ponytail or a bun hehe)

• he has a silent laugh, the kind of laugh where he just wheezes while slapping his thighs, and he has to make a conscious effort to catch his breath

• he tugs on your sleeve whenever he wants to show you something <3

• in winter he writes messages on the frost of your car’s windows. nothing cheesy, probably something along the lines of “nice ass”

• he thinks it’s hilarious that your contact name in his phone is your full name, no emojis, nothing. he even put caps at the beginning 

• he sends you 30 tiktoks per day and expects you to answer to all of them

• he makes you playlists for the dumbest things. one of them is called ‘dentist appointment vibes’

• he likes to see you wear many layers of clothing in winter because he takes great pride in being the only one to know what’s hiding under them *wink*

• when he’s driving, he often tries to be smooth and stare at you lovingly when he’s at a red light, but he always misses the moment when it turns green and the other drivers start to furiously honk at him (another failed attempt at being romantic)

• i’m gonna be honest w/ you : he’s probably effortlessly seggsy when he drives

in conclusion : you might not be the most romantic couple, but your vibes are 𝑖𝑚𝑚𝑎𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑒 because you’re both so madly in love with each other

pspsps: here’s a link to my suna playlist that fuels my mind with thousands of scenarios

Request for SFW and nsfw modern au Sylvain and Hilda with a (gn or female) s/o? Ty!

((I also got another ask for Sylvain and Ashe, so I'll just add Ashe here and knock them all out at once lol))

Sylvain, Hilda, Ashe x GN Reader

modern AU headcanons

SFW (nsfw below the cut)

Sylvain:

- Sylvain loves all of the wonderful little trappings of being your boyfriend. He was the campus fuckboy for so long, and he knows that his reputation precedes him- so having earned enough of your trust that you'd give him the chance to prove himself means everything to him. As such, he's very dedicated to sweet little gestures each and every day to reaffirm that he's yours. I've mentioned before, but he's likely to send you a "good morning <3" text each morning and send you cute animal pics when you're sad.

- He adores sharing clothes with you- even if your body type doesn't allow you to wear a shirt of his, he'll lend you a scarf, sunglasses, any kind of accessory. Sylvain just loves the visual symbol of your connection, the idea that you could share absolutely everything. And again, it's very "couple-y," which he loves, since he hasn't really done the whole "serious relationship" thing very much before you.

- As I've mentioned in prior modern hcs for him though- it's definitely not uncommon to run into an ex of his while out and about. They'll either be satisfied with throwing dirty glances his way, or they may be amicable enough to say hello and chat a bit. Even then, you're likely to get a laugh and an eye roll and a side comment that, "Oh yeah, you better keep this guy on a short leash or you never know what he'll get up to." Sylvain definitely feels pretty sheepish after these encounters, apologizing that you have to deal with all of this, but acknowledging that it's his own fault. These kinds of incidents are likely why he doesn't like to talk about his past flings or relationships with you unless you really press him.

Hilda:

- Hilda is just so much fun to be with. She always knows how to help you relax- perhaps even a little too much at times. She knows the best spots to lay out a blanket for a nap or a snack on campus, and all kinds of great local places to shop. If you're the type to enjoy some, er, plant life, if you catch my meaning, she's always got a great movie or album to enjoy during a smoke sesh. That said, she's also super-low pressure about what you choose to partake in with her. She figures that relationships are supposed to be fun, so there's no point in sweating the small stuff.

- She loves to take you shopping and dress you up. Hilda has a savvy sense of style that blends classic pieces with modern trends (and she's scary good at knowing which trends will pass and which will stick around longer), so she'll take any chance she can get to pick out a cute ensemble for you.

- It can be hard to nail down her more serious feelings and perspectives on things, including your relationship. In a strange way, being with her is so relaxing and enjoyable that it sometimes feels like she's just goofing off and isn't genuinely committed to you. If you bring this up to her, she's surprisingly level headed about quietly sitting and listening. Then, she leans close to you and rubs her nose against yours and says, "Of course I love you, silly! I wouldn't bother being with you if I didn't."

Ashe:

- Your friends and family absolutely love Ashe when they get to meet him, and they probably started rooting for you two to get together long before he actually got up the courage to ask you out. You'll be study buddies and probably in a couple extra-curriculars for a looong while before the mutual attraction becomes too conspicuous and frankly too awkward to ignore. Once you start dating though, he's super sweet and attentive, always checking in with you after a big test or when you've been out late to make sure you're alright.

- When he messages you, he takes his time considering how he wants to word things, and he's more the type to send you one solid paragraph, rather than several shorter messages. He also likes to send you photos throughout his day when he passes a beautiful or interesting flower, or meets a dog out on a walk or some such thing. Sometimes, if you've been too busy to see each other or one of you is traveling, he'll shyly ask for you to send him a selfie, and when he sees you, he just sits in his bed staring at you with a huge smile on his face, his heart absolutely fluttering with how lucky he feels to have you in his life.

- He'll lend you books with the margins just full of notes, with passages that he thought were interesting highlighted, and little doodled hearts around sections that made him think of you. He could spend hours trading ideas and headcanons with you about your mutual favorites, and he even enjoys when your ideas are different or even contrary to his. He finds having someone to bounce ideas off of like this just helps him appreciate the depth and nuance of a story that much more.

NSFW 18+ v

Sylvain:

- He's always got a condom and/or lube on hand, more or less ready to go at any moment. He's very obvious about how completely into you he is, casually grabbing a hand full of your ass around your dorm/apartment, blatantly eyeing you up and down when you wear something new around him, and so on. He's also not shy with others about your shared intimacy- if you don't tell him not to, he'll brag openly to his friends about how insanely hot you are, how amazing the sex is, in whatever amount of detail they can tolerate.

- Sylvain loves when you come up with something you'd like to try in bed, whether it's a toy of some kind, a kink, an outfit. In fact, skimpy outfits drive him near feral with lust- especially if it was your idea. The mere thought that you went out of your way to find and purchase a sexy little maid costume or something similar to wear just for him is incredibly hot to him, and he can't wait to show his appreciation for the gesture.

Hilda:

- Hilda very much enjoys mid-day sex followed by a nap, or slow, relaxing and intimate sex right before bed for the night. Basically, she likes to be able to curl up with you and drift off once you've both been thoroughly satisfied. She's also very comfortable lounging around in just one of your shirts and panties, even if you have roommates around. It's mostly a matter of feeling cozy and relaxed with you, but she also certainly doesn't mind that it gives you the chance to ogle her body as well.

- She absolutely knows how to dress to compliment her beautiful figure- bras with just enough extra support to make her breasts look wonderfully full and plump, shoes with just enough of a heel to lengthen the line of her legs and her give her hips that pleasant sway as she walks. If Hilda is aiming to get your attention, she will get it. She always appreciates when you notice a new look or piece of clothing she's trying out, but she likes it even more when you can't keep your eyes or hands off of her as a result. Partially-clothed sex is always a popular choice with Hilda, as it shows that she's successfully provoked you into wanting to spoil and pleasure her immediately.

Ashe:

- He definitely wants your first time together to be special. He's just so overwhelmed by how strongly he feels about you, how his heart pounds at your touch, how kissing you feels like flying. It may seem like an old fashioned impulse, but he'll want to wait a little while into the relationship before "going all the way," and when he does initiate sex, it's likely to be at the end of a long and lovely date night. A play, a pleasant walk through a tucked away little garden nearby, and a high-quality but not obnoxiously extravagant dinner, then he takes you back to his room and kisses you slow and deep, then says, "I'd... I'd like to be with you tonight- for real- if, uh, that's okay with you..."

- Ashe is the kind of guy who really savors a range of different sensations. He won't hesitate to go down on you before seeking out his own gratification- hell, the feeling of your nails through his hair as you arch up from his bed is satisfying enough for him for the time being. He checks in with you frequently the first few times you're together, always assuring you that he's here for you, that he adores you, that he only wants to make you happy.

- He's pretty demure about discussing his sex life, blushing madly if his more outgoing friends prod him for details (has he finally "sealed the deal" with you?? How'd he land such a cutie??). He's not likely to sext or ever ask for lewd pictures, but if you send him one that's even slightly suggestive, he'll blush madly and reply with what's practically a rant about how gorgeous you are.

[alfredosauce50]

would you be down to do 2p china hc’s? im very curious on how you characterize him!

I’m down! I’m guessing you figured I had my own interpretation of the guy after I answered an ask saying I’d write for him. I really like 2p! China as a character, but I have to say, I haven’t properly written for him before. Nevertheless, I’ll give you my thoughts on him as a person!

2p! China Headcanons

Zao’s appearance doesn’t give away much of his personality. He’s got a bit of a baby face, and he has a sociable and pleasant demeanor for the most part. So if you didn’t know him well enough to see past those traits, you would be surprised at how shady he can be.

Appearance

Like his 1p counterpart, his dark brown hair goes past his shoulders and is tied back in a low ponytail. It’s pretty thin too, so it stays flat against his back. But that’s what makes it look so good. He isn’t the tallest guy out there, as he stands around 170cm or 5′7″. Doesn’t mean you can easily take him out in a fight, though. He’s quite slender, but he’s muscular and knows a few martial arts to boot.

He has a lot of tattoos, and he doesn’t try to hide them. He has dragons curling down his arms, as well as Chinese characters etched into his back. Most of the time, he wears traditional clothing, such as a sleeveless Tang suit, so his arms are exposed. It’s almost as if the colors black and red were made for him. And he knows it. So unless he’s having a bad day where he’ll go for a simple T-shirt, he likes to dress to impress. Not that he even needs to try.

He’s devilishly attractive, and the way he talks gets girls flocking to him.

Personality

Zao is very easy-going and open-minded. He’ll talk about anything with anyone. Everything is fascinating in a way, and nothing seems to faze him either. So he’s the type to question the most trivial things in life--or list drugs as casually as you would your favorite candy bars. It’s also difficult to shock him, or anger him. When life deals him a bad hand, or springs up inconveniences, he’ll go with the flow because that’s life. So unless something involves the person he likes, he keeps himself pretty level-headed.

With his willingness to talk about anything, comes his brutal honesty and bluntness. So sometimes, he’ll find himself offending people even if he never meant to. If he does this to women, they’ll slap him before storming off, leaving him in confusion at what he did wrong. But if he does this to men, he’ll have to be quick on his feet to escape a potential fight. Unlike a few other 2ps, he has a good temperament so he avoids violence, but he’ll resort to it if he absolutely has to.

Despite the careers he’s depicted to have, like being a drug-dealer, something in adult entertainment, night-life, or anything illegal, he has strong fraternal instincts. If somebody embodied the “big brother” trope, it would be him. He cares a lot for his younger siblings, and they look up to him as a role model. But he’ll always tell them, “Do as I say, not as I do!” As comfortable as he is in his own skin, his own identity, he wouldn’t want them taking after him.

He’s very flirtatious, and a huge tease. How he shows he likes you is through making you blush, or embarrassed. He’ll call you pet names. Shower you with compliments. Refer to you as if you and him are already an item. If you bumped into him at a grocery store, he’ll help you shop, then say, “So, is that all we need? I can’t wait for dinner tonight.” Zao is also unapologetically dirty-minded. He’s all about dirty jokes, conversations, and gestures. The bigger reaction he gets, the more addicting they are.

He doesn’t have any qualifications, not even a high school diploma, but he’s street-smart to make up for it. That’s how he makes so many connections and hustles his way up to the top in shady businesses. If you need something, anything, legal or illegal, expensive or cheap, you can ask him, and 99% of the time, he’ll say, “I know a guy.” If he likes you, all he wants in return is something perverted. A kiss, maybe. Or maybe your underwear.

Interests

He loves anything cute, and he doesn’t hide it. Sanrio is a must--he keeps a collection of their plushies, most of them being Hello Kitty, but he also likes other characters such as Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin. Sometimes, he can get a bit obsessive over whatever sells fast. So if he has to, he’ll stay up and keep refreshing the page selling whatever he has his eyes on. If he’s infamous for his connections that let him get pretty much anything he wants, surely he can get his hands on the limited-edition Hello Kitty-themed towel, right!? He isn’t against having other kinds of merchandise either, like household items, but he keeps it lowkey for functionality.

In his house, you’ll find a lot of imports from East-Asian countries. Not only is he used to using them when he was back in China, they’re better than what you can find in America. Or at least, in his opinion. This includes cosmetics, snacks, alcohol, and decorations.

Although he doesn’t have a lot of time to, he enjoys watching anime. That’s why he makes sure to get through the most popular and mainstream ones first.

Zao likes to keep connected with his culture. He doesn’t care to assimilate, and being ‘different’ doesn’t bother him at all--he thinks it’s what gives him a unique personality and background. Since he doesn’t have a lot of friends to speak Mandarin with, he’ll look for his neighbors who can, and strike up a conversation every now and then. As well as that, he’ll give his siblings red pockets for Chinese New Year so they can spend it on food, videogames or whatever they want.

He can’t cook for shit. Even then, he has strong opinions on food, especially Chinese. While he enjoys westernised take out like Panda express, he wishes people would stop assuming Chinese cuisine is just dumplings, fried rice, noodles and yum cha. They’re B-tier at best. For a country with that rich and long a history, there’s so much more to indulge in. Too bad he can’t make anything if he tried.

Psychology + romance

Zao is used to being a second choice. His cheerfulness and bluntness make other people think he’s creepy or weird, so he can’t quite wrap his head around somebody liking him to that degree--or getting particularly close to him. At least, emotionally. There are a lot of girls who want him for one-night stands. But this doesn’t stop him from flirting with someone he genuinely likes, even if he doesn’t expect anything in return. It’s fun because they get flustered, after all. But when they start returning the same energy, get persistent, or even make him suspect that they like him back, he will get nervous. He’s used to being the chaser, not the other way around. So if the tables turn and things start getting real, he will back away.

As confident as he is with his image, it’s difficult for him to get intimate with somebody romantically. He’s open, but can’t be vulnerable. He’d rather keep things casual, so when he really falls for someone, he’ll be conflicted between keeping things the way they are, or pursuing them.

Eventually, these feelings will deepen to the point being just friends becomes suffocating. That’s when Zao loses his cool and gets frustrated. It could happen due to a build-up of his emotions, or an event that makes him explode from jealousy. He’ll get desperate after so long of not doing anything and make it very clear he wants you. “Just date me already!”

When he finally gets together with you, prepare to be coddled. He’ll want to help you with anything the best way he can, and go to extreme lengths to do so. Nothing seems extreme when it’s for somebody he cares so much about. While he never holds it against you--how much he does for you--he may or may not guilt trip you into giving him more affection. But only subtly. Instead of him kissing you, he'll loiter around your presence until you kiss him. And when you do, he’ll smile like an idiot.

He never makes it explicit when he wants to take you out on a date. Zao will just ask you if you’re free, and take you out for the night. He doesn’t see a point in labelling it as a ‘date’, because he doesn’t just see quality time with you through a romantic and sexual lens. He values the friendship aspect of it as well, and you really appreciate him for it.

Zao loves to cuddle. He doesn’t hug you much throughout the day, but when you’re at home and about to sleep, he will hug you, a lot. He won’t let go while he talks to you, and will only loosen his coils when you fall asleep.

Acknowledgements

I was mainly inspired by the 2p! China in the story, “Dragon District”, written by xYourHero. So props to them. The fandom’s perception of him has definitely deepened because of it, and it’s great seeing underrated 2ps finally getting the attention they deserve! I’m one of the people who’s had my characterization of Zao take after hers, so I’ll also be crediting her for my headcanons.

You can find the story on DeviantArt, Archive of our own and Wattpad. I adored that fic back in the day. Such good memories. I wasn’t even writing back when I was reading it. Any who, let’s get right into it. I’ve divided the headcanons into subcategories, appearance, personality, interests, and psychology + romance.

- ✨Social anxiety✨ (on the outside, i look extra cold, unapproachable, and intimidating; but on the inside, i'm trying to calm my breathing)

- I always try to escape from the real world due to my ability, it's kind of a burden to know a little too much

- I'm a great cook, and i always do the house chores (i have a little sister that i have to take care of since my parents aren't around)

- I'm creative, and artistic

- I overthink things a lot (high brain capacities, but kinda in the wrong way😅)

- I'm kinda like akaashi? Idk, i always relate to him everytime he talks(sometimes, we share the same train of thoughts throughout the show)

- I am so observant, to the point where my friends think i can read their minds cuz i always know what they're trying to do or what they're thinking(my ability takes part in this, but they don't know that)

- I can either be a complete genius who solves problems in a matter of seconds or a complete idiot who forgot what's my name

Fun fact:

I have never dated someone before, but i always know how to deal with everyone else's problems (i have become a personal therapist).

I might be introverted, but i don't mind going out as long as i already trust my bf. I don't really see the point in going for hours just to go shopping for clothes (you could just spend it to play at arcades or go eat somewhere).

I also have a collection of oversized clothes (my friends and families thought i have a boyfriend, but no).

The only reason why i can dance and know abt make up and those other girly stuff is because of my dancer sister (i would love it if my bf could get along with her)

My family members have a lot of foreign people inside, so i have to learn many languages and master it, including the traditional language (i think it's called polygot? Idk)

Romantic Matchup

Tendou Satori

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐘𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐌𝐞𝐭

Ok so I've mentioned this in one of my Hc

Tendou has a lot of ghosts hang around him

Very childlike ghosts mind you

So whenever you saw him around

You always saw that he was accompanied by a child's spirit

Like ALL the time

This cause a lot of questions to appear in your mind

Did he know about these spirits?

What do they want?

Why is it always a child's spirit with him?

Eventually, curiosity got the best of you so you went to talk to him

You just went up to him explaining how you know it sounds bizarre but you could see ghosts

Then you proceeded to explain that he has quite a few spirits hanging around him

Even pointing out the one that was currently with him

You were expecting him to call you weird or crazy

But he just looked at you with stars in his eyes

He thought it was super cool that you could see ghosts!

You both had a conversation about ghosts and third eyes and all that jazz

You liked that he didn't treat you differently because of your special skill

So you started hanging around him more often

You guys would just do casual hangout things like play video games or read together

And on some occasions, you would even go to his games!

So his feelings for you grew very slowly and very subtly

But they grew nonetheless

And you couldn't deny that you enjoyed the redhead's company

So when he finally realized his feelings and asked you out

You found no reason to say no 😘

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮

He loves your hair

He especially loves playing with it

Him and your sister like to try styles on your hair together

He loves how empathetic you are

He feels like he could tell you any of his issues and you would just listen to him and do your best to understand him

And that's all he could ever really want in a relationship

He loves the fact that you can cook

Because A: if you ever cook him something it makes him feel especially loved

And B: He likes the fact that whenever you two make dinner together you cook the actual food and he makes the desert

Look at you two being a dynamic duo and shit 😛

He loves how observant you are

You two have this in common

It's good because you both can tell when the others upset without having to tell each other

And you both just solve the problem accordingly

Honestly, he really doesn't mind that you're a homebody

He actually kinda enjoys it

I think he actually likes having some downtime

Now don't get me wrong he's still gonna be his goofy self

But just in a calmer manner if you know what I mean

𝐅𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐓𝐨 𝐃𝐨 𝐓𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫

He honestly just loves hanging around you

You guys could be inside doing quiet activity's

Or actually out in the world being more outgoing

You guys could really be doing anything

Hell even your sister can join if she wanted

As long as he's with you he's happy

But a favorite of his is playing video games with you and your sister if she chooses to join

However, these moments get a little competitive

So be prepared for that

𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐇𝐜

Tendou and your sister get along very well

Like sometimes they'll just hang out together for funsies

And that just warms your heart to see

He will 100% let you wear his clothes

And since there's such a size difference, his clothes are absolutely HUGE on you

But they're comfy so no complaints 😗

Every time you and Tendou decide to go out for a date it will usually be at an arcade or like a trampoline place

You know...fun places

He definitely agrees that going to places like stores is kinda dumb

But he also gets most of his clothes online soooo 👀

☕️Some random relationship headcannons to start off ☕️

Just thought I would write some random hc’s to get this blog off the ground -mod baka

Tamaki

- He was pretty shy when asking his s/o out for the first time, yea sure he likes to flirt but when thinking about a serious relationship he’s a bit of a nervous wreck at first, overthinking everything. He probably calls Kyoya in the middle of the night asking what his s/o’s favourite flowers are or if the 100k watch that he bought for them was too cheap. Kyoya probably calls him an idiot then immediately hangs up

- He definitely likes to go all out when on dates, you probably have to remind him that it’s physically impossible to get from Tokyo to Paris and back again for dinner in one day. He actually prefers when his s/o takes him somewhere that they want to go, because if his s/o is happy then he’s happy.

- He likes to show off his s/o a lot in public, brag to people about how nice their handwriting is or how he likes the way they walk. You can probably guarantee that in every conversation his s/o is probably going to be brought up in one way or another.

Kyoya

- When he first got a crush on his s/o, he would obsessively find out everything he can about them while completely deny any attachment of any sort. Whenever one of the other hosts brought up the fact that he had more infomation than usual on them in his notebook or if they were always first on the list for events he would just deny everything and make up some excuse that everyone can probably see right through.

- He really likes study dates, especially if him and his s/o happen to be in the same class so they can work on something together. After a few hours however, they would probably just end up taking a nap on the sofa together and his s/o would probably have to wake him up.

- Sometimes he likes to take his s/o on surprise dates, like you think you’re just going to have a lazy day with him but no, you get told to back your bags and he’s taking you to the states for the weekend.

Hikaru

-When first getting into a relationship he’s a little possessive, but out of insecurity. However he becomes more confertable around his s/o and has a less of a need to constantly ask them if there seeing others.

-He really likes going shopping with his s/o. Since his mother is a fashion designer he always makes his s/o try on a ton of clothes in the dressing room. Both are completely worn out by the end of the day.

-Likes to surprise his s/o with chocolates and flowers on random occasions, and whenever his s/o is feeling down he gets his entire kitchen to cook a buffet of your favourite foods.

Kaoru

-When he had a crush on his s/o he was super shy around them and Hikaru probably had to push him to ask them out. In the end however Hikaru just told them that Kaoru had a crush on them and so they just asked him out themselves. Every time his s/o is brought up in casual conversation Hikaru always brags that he was the one who got them together.

- He’s probably not the one for huge fancy dates. He loves picnic dates in his garden then cuddling up in bed and marathoning a series in the afternoons, and probably building a pillow fort, because like why not.

-Definitely the one for pda, he likes to wrap his arm around his s/o’s shoulder or waist and kiss them on the forehead now and again.

Honey

-When he first had feelings for his s/o he would probably talk about them with Mori who eventually pushed him to ask his s/o out on a date. Despite his childish demeanour he’s probably the most mature when at the beginning stages of the relationship.

-Likes to kiss his s/o on the cheek, he’s the biggest one for pda out of the host club. Also lots of hugs when out in public, most completely random.

-Always buys his s/o various different varieties of cake every Friday, usually expensive cakes shipped all the way from the finest patisseries in Paris. They probably have a cupboard full of tons of cake, all different varieties worth thousands.

Mori

-He’s probably the most confident out of all the hosts, if his crush rejects him he’ll just be like ‘oh well there not interested’ and move on quickly because life’s to short to hang on to those feelings and he would probably move on quite quickly in that case. Luckily his s/o didn’t.

-He likes to carry his s/o on his back when there feeling tired, like if his s/owas looking slightly tired during class he would probably just pick them up off their desk and carry you to their next class.

-He always takes his s/o to the dojo with him, he really likes them just being there, just there presence motivates him.

Haruhi

-She probably met her s/o for the first time while in the library, they always talked often and shared many common interests. It took a few months before Haruhi finally realised that she might be in love with them.

-She loves cooking with her s/o, usually something like curry or ramen or something her s/o likes in particular. Then they’ll eat while cuddled up on the sofa and then she’ll take the leftovers for lunch the next day.

-She’ll probably never admit it but Haruhi likes to steal her s/o’s jumpers a lot and wear them out in public.

-mod baka

[some-cookie-crumbz]

Do you have any hcs for Keith and Pidge's first romantic date and If so would you like to share it with us?

HHHOOLLLLLYYYY CCCCCCRRRRRROOOOOOWWWWW This got long but I love every piece of this!!! Thank you so much for asking me about this and hopefully you all like this as much as I do! I also snuck Nihaar and Adwru into this as well sorry not sorry!

So, Pidge is the one who takes the plunge and invites Keithout on their first date! She catches him before he leaves on another Blademission and says she really wants to spend some one-on-one time with him whenhe’s free. She refuses to admit it’s a date, though, out of embarrassment.

Keith, oblivious mother fucker that he is, doesn’t realizethat she’s asking him on a date and thinks it’s just some chill hang outsession and says that he’ll let her know when he’s between missions.

While she waits to hear back from him, she starts trying tofigure out what exactly they can do. Like, she wants this to be something nice,something different than usual. She wants this to be something memorable!

She decides that she has to figure out something away fromthe Castle of Lions. If they’re on the Ship, the others would be able tointerrupt them at any point. And the minute Lance catches on to what her actualintent is? Boy is on her like frogs on a fly.

“So… Hanging out with Keith soon, huh?”

“Uh huh…”

“Gonna so some… Gaming, or something?”

“No… I’m planning something, uh… Something a littledifferent…”

“Oh, maybe a more physical game then? Maybe… You know… A rousing game of tonsil hockey?”

*Pidge literally snapsthe wrench she is holding in fucking half at his implication. Lanceimmediately peaces out and goes into hiding for the next three days. Hunkbegrudgingly plays the role of Relocation Marshall.*

Finally, Keith gives her a specific date that he can be backat the Castle by, so she can actually figure out what they’ll be doing on thisdate!

Pidge decides that she needs to find out more about whatkind of stuff Keith might be interested in doing for the date. She alreadyknows her own preference for simple things but she isn’t sure about him. Heseems like he would be on the same page as her, but what if she’s wrong? She’snever been the best at reading people so she could be totally wrong.

Pidge has been running under the assumption that herfeelings are mutual, but she realizes that she could be wrong, given her lackof experience in regards to stuff like this, and that terrifies her. She’dnever admit it to anyone but she thinks ridiculously highly of Keith. Like,he’s a phenomenal fighter, he’s dependable, he’s passionate – which she findsway more attractive than she is comfortable admitting -, he’s adaptable as afast learner, and she even thinks that the fact that he’s stubborn is admirabletoo. She likes that he challenges her to stand up for herself or see thingsfrom another angle when they disagree. She likes how he’ll bare his fangs andtear people down when someone tries to disregard or disrespect her stance whenthey agree. She likes the comfortable atmosphere between them when they’realone, how they can dip in and out of conversations without silences or breaksin the conversation feeling uncomfortable. And she’s terrified that if hedoesn’t feel the same, or that if this date doesn’t go well, she’ll lose all ofthat.

She needs research from an outside source. She needspractical advice she can use. She needs the help of a Keith Specialist™.

She needs a Shiro™.

She finds him on one of their days off, while going throughsome specifications on their next intended operation with Coran.

“Hey, um, Shiro? When you’re free, can I talk to you aboutsomething?”

*Shiro, immediately setting down the tablet, brown knit inconcern.* “Is something wrong, Pidge?”

“Um, not really… It’s kinda… Personal…”

*Coran, also becoming concerned.* “What is bothering you,Pidge? We’re here to help in any way that we can, you know.”

*Pidge continues to be a flustered mess at them bothwatching at her like worried parents/ siblings.*

After about ten minutes of stammering about and both men tryingto convince her to sit down and playing twenty questions, she finally gives upand admits what her problem is.

Immediately Shiro is able to give her a small amount ofpeace by explaining that Keith is less about big, flashy gestures and more of asimple, sweet acts kinda guy. Something that will be casual but also a bitunique should give him enough hint as to what she’s putting out, and if hereciprocates, he’ll make it clear. And if not, he’ll let her know, but Shiroexplains he won’t be malicious about it.

And Coran, whom finds the idea of human courtship ritualsinteresting, starts playing a new round of 20 questions with both Pidge andShiro to see what kind of things human couples normally do one dates.

“Just… Basic things, you know? Things like walks in the park,or going to coffee, or dinner and a movie…” *Shiro trails, letting out a smalllaugh.

“Dinner and a movie?” *Coran, leaning way too close into hispersonal space with a raised eyebrow.*

*Shiro, leaning back with a small scowl.* “Y-Yes?”

*Coran stands upright and flashes Pidge a small smirk,cupping his chin with one hand.* “I may just know a place that will fill thiscriteria for you, Number Five.”

There’s this planet not too far off, he explains, calledKutu-yfr. The planet is well-known due to how it has huge meteor showers onceevery few Earth weeks. Couples often pull up on the planet’s moon to watch thespectacle from their ships, for a small fee. The denizens of the planetKutu-yfr also have a small concession stand that sells popular delicacies fromtheir home world to help add to the effect. So, basically, think of it like agiant space drive-in, of sorts.

Coran checks and, as fate would have it, there’ll be anothershower the same day as Keith’s return! He offers to call ahead and get thingsset up so that they can have a nice night out. Pidge is thrilled by thisprospect and instead starts figuring out the other matters at hand for herself;specifically, her concern becomes whether they should take Green, one of theAltean cruisers, or one of the Blade cruisers. She wants to make sure they’reinconspicuous but also worries about what could happen if there were an attackor something.

Allura, however, finds out about this whole situation. Andshe becomes very passionate about helping Pidge in regards to picking out anoutfit.

“Allura, is this really necessary?” *Pidge, a bit flusteredand uneasy.*

“Of course! I may not understand human courtship rituals aswell as the other Paladins, but surely you would like to wear an outfit to markthe occasion?”

*Pidge, shuffling her feet a bit, because she kind of likesthe idea the more she thinks about it.* “I… I guess… That’d be nice.”

*Allura, bright-eyed and beaming.* “Excellent! Now come withme, I managed to find some spare clothes we can rummage through to findsomething you like!”

“Are you sure that any of them will fit, though?”

“I’m sure we can find something! And if not, we have somesewing machines so that we can make any necessary adjustments for you! Now,have you put any thought into what kind of colors you might like to wear? Oh,and what about your hair and make-up? I have some spare supplies on hand and I’msure we can find something cute to do with your hair, too!”

Meanwhile, back on the Blade base, Keith is still kind ofoblivious about the whole situation. He doesn’t realize what’s going on untilhe’s talking about this whole thing with two younger Blade members he becamefriends with, named Nihaar and Adwru.

“So… You’re hanging out with the Green Paladin soon?”*Nihaar, tail flicking from side to side, kneading dough on Keith’s pillow asshe makes herself comfy on his cot. Settles in and closes her eyes, curling uplike a cat.*

“Her name is Pidge. And yeah.” *Keith, sharpening his luxiteblade.*

*Adwru lifts his head from shifting through a tablet tocheck some readings on a strange mineral he collected on his last mission.* “Wait,so it’s going to be just you and the Green Paladin?”

“Pidge. And yeah.” *Keith, huffing a bit at neither of themusing her name.*

“So… Just you two? All alone? No other Paladins or anyonetagging along?” *Adwru, slowly setting his tablet down and staring at Keith insurprise.*

*Nihaar cracks one eye to stare at Keith, little whiskerstwitching.*

Keith, tilting his head back and groaning.* “Yes! What’s sohard about that to understand?”

��So it’s a date?” *Nihaar chimes, slowly grinning at him.*

*Keith’s eyes slowly widen and suddenly everything clicks.And he McFreaking Loses It.*

Keith is suddenly a floundering, frantic mess because he isNot Good with Feelings™. Much like the mental process for Pidge, Keith issimilarly pining but convinced that’s all he’ll be able to do. After all, Pidgeis one of the smartest creatures in the universe, she’s got a versatile wealthof knowledge, she’s just as passionate as he is, her bark is just as ferociousas her bite, she’s surprisingly humble and, when offering her tutelage, is surprisinglypatient. She has this energy that blends intelligence and optimism in such away that he finds refreshing and charming and just… He’s really smitten withher. He could go on for days about how her laugh reminds him of the soothingpatter of rain on a rooftop, or how much fun he has pulling pranks with her andgetting to indulge in something a little less mature.

Nihaar and Adwru have to calm him down and vow to help him preparefor the date as best as they can. How do they do this, you may ask? By runninga few scenarios with him, of course! Adwru starts preparing lines and responsesfor Keith, while Keith and Nihaar hi-jack one of the spare round tables theyhave on base for when the commanders have their poker nights. Nihaar decks itall out to look like some super ritzy restaurant.

“Okay, so, first you’ll want to compliment her appearance.” *Nihaar,reading off of some cue cards that Adwru prepared.*

“I… This seems really unnecessary, you guys.* *Keith,slumping into his seat as a blush creeps even further along his cheeks.

*Adwru, sitting with a printed out picture of Pidge tiedover his face, voice muffled.* “Are you trying to say that I don’t look pretty,Keith?”

*Nihaar, pressing one of her paw-like hands to her mouth totry not to laugh.* “C-Come on, Keith… You gotta compliment your lady.”

*Keith, about as red as the Lion he used to pilot,completely refusing to humor this insanity any further.*

“I just want you to know that I am batting my eyelashes in avery alluring way underneath, as I feel that adds to the scenario.” *Adwru,ever helpful, the quiet rustling of something brushing the paper accompanyinghis words.*

*Nihaar starts cackling like a bloody hyena and is basicallyin time-out for a good fifteen minutes afterwards.*

When they get to the day in question, Hunk, Lance, and Allura all make a private pact to assurethat, regardless of what happens, they are going to make sure nothinginterrupts the date. They got Pidge and Keith’s backs on this.

Pidge ended up finding a really cute mid-thigh cut dressamong the clothes that Allura had pulled out for them to check out. The dress wasa little big on her, but Lance was actually able to help them take the seam inso that it fit better. The dress is actually a light shade of purple withoutany pattern or design to it; simple, but cute and just Pidge’s style. Hunkfinds a light grey scarf in one of the piles and insists that Pidge add it as acute little accessory, as well as being the one that helps her pick out a cutepair of ankle boots to finish the ensemble off.

Lance forces Pidge into one of his face masks and actuallyhelps her with her make-up.

“Doesn’t this seem a little… I don’t know… Excessive?”*Pidge, starting to remove one of the pseudo-cucumber slices Lance put over hereyes.*

“Hey, hey, hey! No peeking yet! You have to let the masksettle to make sure it gets everything clear and smooth!” *Lance, lightlyswatting her hand away with a click of his tongue, before turning his attentionback to Allura and Hunk.* “Now, I’m thinking nude hues and very light touchesof make-up will be best.”

“Totally. Pidge isn’t a really complicated person so simpleis the best way to go.” *Hunk, bright smile in place, as he uses a cloth toclean her glasses lenses to make them extra shiny.*

“Indeed. Besides, Pidge already has such a natural beauty;all we should do is help to accent it.” *Allura, nodding sagely.*

*Lance hums in agreement.* “Exactly my thought.”

*Pidge blushes like mad at the praise but has a small smileon her lips, grateful at how supportive her friends are.*

Meanwhile, Keith is getting ready to head out as well. Adwrutook him out to a few shops nearby and they scrambled to try and find clothes thatwould work well for him. In the end, of all the things they pick, they end upgetting him put into something really similar to a full fucking suit.

Nihaar immediately steps in because this is… Too Extra. Andfor as much as she likes watching Keith squirm, she’s not going to let him makea total ass of himself. She starts rummaging through the clothes herself andstarts barking at Adwru to go talk to Kolivan and ask him for a jacket and yesthere is a specific one and Kolivan will know what that means just fucking go you useless kit-brainedwaste of fur –

*Nihaar tosses a pair of black jeans at him.* “Seriously,don’t you think that was a little much?”

Keith, blushing and glaring at the back of her head as shekeeps going through the shirts.* “I don’t know. I’ve never been in a situationlike this… Never gone out with someone that I liked who… Liked me back.” *Hegrows softer as he speaks, letting his gaze flitter down towards the jeans thathe’s wringing in his hands.*

*Nihaar stops in her rifling and looks over at him, her earsdrooping a bit, before she sighs and approaches him. She reaches out and cupshis cheeks in her paw-hands and turns him to face her while leaning down a bitso that they’re eye to eye.* “Hey, it’s okay to be nervous, you know? I justdon’t want you to think you need to put on some kind of act. I mean, if Pidgereally does mean this as a date, and she really is interested in you like that,isn’t it because she likes who you really are? Underneath all the Blade andPaladin stuff? That’s all you need to be for things to go well. Don’t let theidea or context get you too wrapped up in your own head; she’s not into youbecause of flashy clothes. Just go and be Keith and I know the night will gobeyond wonderful.”

*Keith, getting a little misty-eyed, because he wasn’texpecting a pep talk like that.* “I… Thank you, Nihaar.”

*Nihaar beams and lightly flexes her paw-hands on his cheeksso she’s squishing them a bit, usual playful demeanor back in a heartbeat.* “Shush,my child. Let the toe beans soothe your fears.”

*Keith blinks away the sads and chuckling a bit.*

Keith actually ends up wearing a short-sleeved red button upwith a pure white sweater vest-esque item over it, so that only the shirt coloris really visible, and the black jeans. Keith wears his usual boots with them,though Adwru goes through the kindness of cleaning them up for him. The lastitem is what seems to be a black aviator jacket with a beige fur lining alongthe color and inside. Nihaar explains that she’d seen it before in a collectionof items that Kolivan held on to for Blade members between missions and figuredhe wouldn’t mind if they bothered it, since she thought Keith would like it.

Adwru tried to convince him to slick his hair back but Keithflat out rejected that idea.

So Keith heads out in one of the Blade cruisers to theCastle Ship while the others are helping Pidge get pumped up. Because as theyget closer, her courage is starting to waver.

“What if he misunderstood? What if he shows up and thinksthis was just a regular hangout and he thinks I’m a total weirdo?” *Pidge,sitting on one of Green’s paws and fiddling with a blanket she wanted to bringfor them to sit on.*

*Hunk, perking up as he watches Keith carefully climb out ofthe Blade cruiser on the other side of the hanger.* “Nah, I’m pretty sure hegot the idea. He’s dressed too nice for it to be a regular hangout.”

“Oh, God, I can’t do this!” *Pidge Gunderson, reduced to asqueaky mess, ladies and gentlemen.*

*Lance and Allura exchange A Look before she nods and dartsover to intercept Keith, smiling and waving.* “Yes, you can, Pidge.”

“But what if I make things weird? What if I say something wrong?What if he doesn’t think the meteor shower is interesting? I mean, we spend somuch time out in space, and he spends so much time going from planet to planetfor his missions I’m sure he’s seen plenty of meteor showers on those planetsand they were probably great and this is probably a really dull idea and-!”*Pidge is silenced when Lance flaps his hand in her face and makes a grumblynoise.*

“You’re overthinking it, dude. I mean, he realized it was adate and he’s here, right?” *Lance, setting his hands on his hips while sheglares at him with a little pout over being shushed.*

*Pidge looks from him over to Keith, who seems to be a bitbemused by why Allura is still chatting him up about whatever she’s hooked himwith.*

“Keith isn’t the type to just mess around with yourfeelings, you know? I mean, I don’t know a whole lot about him, but I do knowhe’s a good guy.” *Hunk chimes in helpfully.*

*Lance side-eying Hunk.* “Woah, let’s not get crazy here,Hunk; I wouldn’t use the word ‘good’ to describe anything about Keith. He’smore… Not-as-bad-a-guy-as-previous-actions-would-dictate kind of guy. Butanyway! Main point is that he isn’t scummy enough to lead someone on!”

“Exactly!”

“And the rest of what you’re thinking is just first-datejitters. Once you two get out there you’ll feel better and you’ll be fine.Just remember to be yourself. If he doesn’t like you for you, then there’s waymore wrong with him than just the obvious stuff.” *Lance explains, with Hunkrolling his eyes with a small smile.*

“Most of that is true… I trust you to know which parts todisregard, though, Pidge.” *Hunk says, offering Pidge his hand to help her up.*

*Pidge smiles then takes his offer and gets up, dusting herskirt off a bit as she does.*

“Um, excuse me, all of what I said was spot on!” *Lance isOffended.*

Pidge scampers over to where Keith and Allura are, offeringa meek wave as she does, kinda flustered over seeing him in such adifferent outfit. Keith’s eyes widen a bit, just as awe-stricken as she is,before he offers a shy, mumbled “Hello” of his own.

Simultaneous Thought: “Oh no they’re hot.”

They decide to take the Blade cruiser since it’ll be a bitless distracting. Pidge uploads the coordinates to the ship and spends almostthe whole ride to Kutu-yfr asking this and that about the cruiser. Keithrealizes that Pidge has never actually been in one before and is happy to talkabout it, the atmosphere between them becoming more relaxed as they do; bothgrateful to be discussing somewhat familiar territory.

When they arrive, the people of Kutu-yfr, strange, shelledcreatures with thick fur between the portions of their armor. Think Cousin Itfrom The Addams Family tossed in a blender with an armadillo. They are eager tomeet a Paladin of Voltron and gush over Pidge for a bit before letting the duosettle in with the rest of the crowd, though first they are given specialgoggles to wear. The meteors come into very close to the moon and staringdirectly can cause sight problems for outsiders without the safety goggles.They manage to snag a great, spacious spot so that they can see the wholespectacle. Since they arrived pretty early on they get the chance to walkaround and explore.

There are all kinds of little souvenir booths and concessionstands and things set up, and there are some families milling about here andthere. They take a little walk through to see what kind of things there are andend up getting some snacks and stuff. They share this weird caramel-apple thing;and, by share, I mean that the item is pre-cut into slices and they each justkind of take pieces as they see fit. It’s a round-ish shaped fruit that tastesmore like the juice at the bottom of a mixed fruit cup with a sweet coatingthat apparently alters its flavor to match whatever the eater thinks wouldtaste best with it. To Keith, it actually does taste like caramel; for Pidge,it tastes like a strange mix of chocolate and marshmallow.

They stop by a couple of other stands just to look at whatthey have. They get particularly distracted by a Kutu-yfr doing a swordswallowing act. Only the swords are made out of pure electricity and causes thetips of his fur to glow in bright, neon colors.

Not too long after that, an announcement is made about themeteors nearly being in view, so they scamper back to their spot.

Pidge lays the blanket out in front of the cruiser and theysettle in, sitting a comfortable distance from one another, with the littletray with the few remaining fruit slices set between them. They each takeanother piece each and nimble on it just as the meteors beginning raining down.

Now, meteor showers are beautiful on their own, but what theKutu-yfr said about how close the meteors get? That makes the whole experience thatmuch more amazing. They can see every flickering of color in the tail of themeteors, close enough they feel as though they can touch them, so close theythink they can feel the rush of wind from the velocity. It doesn’t last morethan maybe five minutes, but the whole spectacle is just awe-inspiring.

There are still little sparks and smoke lingering after theshow ends. While others start packing it up, Keith and Pidge stay where theyare and just keep staring up at the night sky.

Keith notices that Pidge starts to shiver a bit, but thatshe’s still far too fascinated by looking up at the sky. Even with the tintedshower goggles on, he can see how her eyes are shining just as bright as the meteorsjust a short time ago. Without a word, he shrugs out his jacket and carefullydrapes it over her.

*Pidge jumps a bit in surprise, having not realized that shewas shivering at all, and looks up at him curiously.*

*Keith, averting his gaze a bit and clearing his throat.* “Youlooked like you were a little cold…”

*Pidge, lighting up even brighter than the meteors withaffection and gratitude at his actions, causing him to blush even more.* “Thankyou.”

*Keith lets out a short squawk of a noise that was anattempt at “You’re welcome.” before looking away again. His hand is settled on theblanket between them to help keep him propped up.*

*Feeling a bit emboldened, Pidge shifts closer to him andrests one of her hands on top of his, then cautiously tips her head to restagainst his shoulder. He stares at her with wide eyes for a moment before smilingand turning his hand so that the palm is facing up, gently lacing with hers. Hethen tilts his head to rest his cheek against the top of her head.*

Needless to say, they sit there and just bask in one another’scompany for a good while before turning in for the night with a promise to goon a second date again soon; one of Keith’s choosing this time.
