Thinking about how Yoru (Jin Saotome) from Gokurakugai would be in a relationship...
I can't fucking stand him (I'm obsessed)
Some relationship headcanons because this, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call "randomly late at night believing you must write about what you've been obsessing over for the last week and to unleash said writing like an untamed beast" He's been in my head and I want him OUT- LET HIM OUT-
And since Gokurakugai content is like finding an oasis in the desert- I feel I must contribute to the council, and give to the people what I did not receive.
Yoru is... Pathetic, surprisingly meek for his stature, and passive... While also being none of those things sometimes?
He's a random jumble of cards that's for sure.
You never know if youre going to get the shy and stuttering Yoru or the possessive and lowkey intimidating one.
This man bipolar as fuck have you SEEN the manga.
Overall though, much like how he is with Yomi, if he cares for you, his loyalty is powerful.
Sure hes up and down, sometimes he maybe doesnt behave how hes supposed to- but he means well. Really he does.
Hes the type to be pretty insecure about your relationship- but hes on both extremes of the spectrum.
He goes from worrying that hes not enough for you and that's why you go out often to becoming extremely possessive and going to concerning lengths to keep you with him.
Hes never hurt you- only once emotionally.
He scared you a little with one of his possessive episodes- and though he hasn't verbally admitted to anything- he CLEARLY behaves in a certain way to avoid that reaction.
He's a little more of a gentle kind of manipulative when he wants you to stay with him.
"My lovely- cant we stay indoors? It might rain.", "The lights are pretty dim this hour, WE could stay where the lights are on? Just to be safe, of course.", "But sweetie- didn't we say we'd watch this show tonight? I-I don't want to miss too many episodes."
He likes using "we" a lot, like hes trying to make you and him the same person- he thinks if he can maybe try and propose something with him and you, then you'd be socially satisfied enough for that.
It doesnt work the most often though- and when it doesnt, he maybe has a little panic episode thinking that you dont enjoy his company enough to JUST have him.
Its only when you come home, give him a few kisses as you lie down at his side, show him a few photos of whatever place you went to- that he realizes once more that "oh yeah, you come home to ME- so I am your only one."
From all the trauma in his childhood, i doubt he understands different kinds of relationships very well.
Theres family- like all of his friends and yomi among the gang- and then there's you. That's like, it to him.
It takes him a bit to understand that its not that you prefer your friends over him- or prefer him over your friends. There are different social needs you have- and no one party can satisfy all of them.
Whether its rare you go out, or you have only a few friends or a thousand- it takes him a bit to understand that there are different kinds of relationships- and that for THIS kind, he is your one and only.
When hes at his best? (Or his most shy) hes a sweetheart.
I feel like during these times he definetly little spoon and just let's you manhandle him however.
While being a blushing mess obviously lol.
He lets you hold and squish his face, play with the rings on his fingers- he let's you do WHATEVER bro.
When hes feeling a bit more possessive- he usually likes taking control a bit more.
I feel like he enjoys playing with your hair a bit- like twirling a thick chunk of it between his fingers while you talk.
Hes also totally a "hand on the back of your neck" kind of dude.
Like, gently squeezing it when he wants your attention, massaging his thumb up and down your pulse point.
Hes got a thing with necks.
Do with that what you will.
I feel like he'd generally physically assert dominance- he probably would want to avoid trying to use his powers to "control" you in any way.
Instead he just... Maybe snatches your wrist, grab your chin, grab your thigh-
He can be a little touchy, even when hes blushy and shy.
He just... Really, REALLY likes you! (And its not obsessive at all)
Okay- that might be enough for now. This is getting a little too long, and I need this out of my drafts before I go insane, start hating it, and delete it like my last two proposed "posts".
Overall I think Yoru can be a sweetie, if a bit obsessive and slightly manipulative. What can I say? Dudes kinda crazy but I do adore him and I hope you do too 🫶🫶
(Also its like 11 pm rn when I post this so if this shit got typos or run ons please ignore it ill lock in later to fix it)
And i might have a Paul Atreides Headcanon draft that might get posted soon ok bye.
