takamine nii-san be upon ye

random hcs abt nii-san and insane takamine fam yapping down here 👇

hc that his given name is riku which means "land" or "continent" which ties in with their surname takamine that means "high peaks"

got married on june 15 (the day ring.a.bell was announced on jpstars)

wedding was set in the venue the aisle be with you mv was shot in. he swears it's a coincidence, but midori thinks otherwise (it really was a coincidence, he already chose that venue even before ring.a.bell formed. their parents think it's hilarious though)

everyone knows him as the "serious brother" between him and midori, but god knows he can be a little shit if he wanted to

exhibit A: before midori hit his growth spurt, he was a little bit of a shorty, nii-san who was taller used to put midori's favorite plushies on the tall shelves whenever midori annoyed him

exhibit B: used to (and still) takes pictures of midori whenever he catches him making a stupid face. he then sends the pictures to his wife, she thinks it's cute though

has definitely lived out the childhood best friends to lovers romcom/slice of life. absolutely winning with his relationship

he handles the more business like side of the shop like the taxes, the budget and other legal documents and issues. midori handles deliveries and stocking up the shop while their parents run the shop itself. they're working on trying to get midori to go get his driver's license (sometimes too busy with idol work and school and sometimes too tired/lazy to go)

despite working and co-owning a greengrocer, he absolutely hates asparagus. he's not going near those things, nor would he even consider eating them. midori used to put random asparagus sticks in his room for shits and giggles

their parents are the biggest ryuseitai fans ever. their mom especially, do not be surprised if you hear tenka muteki meteoranger or relax paradise playing in the shop (midori is embarrassed but he secretly loves it)

the shop has a midori nui in it. it sits on the counter beside the cash register. for reasons

since passing the board exam, he's been doing more lawyer things lately alongside his usual greengrocer business work

usually has clients on the more business side of things like settling legal disputes and ownership idk how lawyer things work

has met ibara once or twice during these since ibara owns a lot of businesses and most are connected to him (this doesn't make sense I'm so sorry the ibamido brainworms flared up suddenly)
