Liu Kang;
Keeps it tame. Much prefers intimate moments over flirting. For example, he’ll say things to you in privacy so only the two of you hear it.
He’s most prone to calling you beautiful or just watching you, he is completely enamoured by you and can’t believe you exist, he didn’t really plan it so he just enjoys being in your company.
Loves watching the sun rise or fall with you, he thinks you look etherial on the pinkish glow and will always remind you of that.
Once you’re more official he’ll be more open to flirting in public, but he still prefers to keep things between the two of you.
Kung Lao;
Back and forth banter is his way of flirting.
He loves the little games of wit the two of you have. However, he also loves sparing with you, its a reason to be around you for longer and you get to through cocky insults at each other the whole time.
When the two of you are alone, he’s still gonna be saying stuff to get you fired up, but on occasion he’s been known to go out his way to do things for you, its absolutely his way of flirting without words.
Speaking of, will show off big time when he feels he needs to. He’s literally THE Kung Lao, he doesn’t often feel the need to impress people, he’s already pretty impressive, but when you’re around, he can’t help but go the extra mile.
Raiden;
Tries his best, but his friends are normally the ones to help him along.
Mostly because doesn’t want to make you feel uncomfortable, he’s worried he’ll come off too strong if he starts to outright call you beautiful or say he likes your company.
He will often bring you things that make him think of you, like a flower or a souvenir from Outworld. If he doesn’t bring you something, he’ll sit with you and tell you tales of how he saw something so extraordinary he couldn’t help but think of you.
Sometimes he can get a little corny, but it’s so sweet you don’t mind.
Bi-han;
His flirting is praise.
If you do good, or do something without him having asked, he’ll tell you how good you did and how much he appreciates it.
He’ll probably give you a promotion or something. Maybe he’ll upgrade your weapons or give you a squadron to command.
Other than praise, power is his other love language. He’ll give you whatever you need to defeat whoever you need too, your enemies are his, and vice versa.
Kuai Liang;
He never really hid it. He knows what he wants and known that life is too short, especially in his line of work, to beat around the bush.
He won’t go straight in with being overbearing, but will absolutely tell you how he feels.
Has no issues flirting with you in private, but in public he’ll keep it tame.
Prefers just being in your company than physical touch or even words of affirmation. He get’s kinda tired and after all the emotional trauma he’s been through he just needs someone he can exist with. No expectations, just being together.
Tomas Vrbada;
He’s super respectful. Almost to a fault.
Johnny got him on romance movies so he toke notes from there, but they didn’t feel authentic, so he changed his approach to just getting to know you as best he could.
Offers you help with anything. Training, studies, even offers to go on hikes with you.
He’s comfortable in the silence between the two of you, but he’s great at small talk, he loves talking to you and hearing how you see the world.
Johnny Cage;
He thinks his presence is flirting. Why would he need to say a thing when the Johnny Cage is in the building?
However, he can be sweet, when he wants to be. Gives you gifts and makes sure you never have to lift a finger.
Shows off all the time, with everything. Needs you to know how amazing he is at everything. BUT, he also likes making you feel like you’re also amazing. HE has taken an interest in you, so you’re the awesome by default.
Secretly loves banter. As much as he loves praise, playing hard to get or insulting him in a playful manner will make him happy.
Kenshi Takahashi;
He builds his relationship with you in private. When it’s just the two of you is when he’ll flirt, but its not super romantic, sweep-you-off-your-feet flirting, he’s subtle in the way he compliments you.
Can be sarcastic with his humour and likes it when you are sarcastic back.
Even though he can’t see, he uses his other senses more attentively, he almost always knows when something is wrong by the changes in your breathing patterns or the way you shuffle if you’re uncomfortable. He’ll always make sure you’re okay.
Loves sparing with you. Is happy to see how you’ve improved and what’s to see you better yourself. However, is more than happy and willing to protect you if he needed to.
Syzoth;
Can be kind of shy when it comes to flirting but he’s worried about the rejection. He’s lost enough and he’s really intrigued by you, so he takes things slow; he puts a lot of thought into what he says to you.
He’s incredibly observant. He picks up on everything. Sometimes it can be a bit jarring when you just want to keep something to yourself, but he already knows about it. If you’re not feeling well or something is bothering you he’ll always know.
He can be a tease at times. He can be sarcastic and might even laugh when you say something cocky but he’ll never overstep. It’s just the right amount to make you smile.
He’s a fan of physical touch. Not too much to be overbearing but just enough that he can feel your warmth. Is different that what he’s used to, its such a strange sensation but a welcome one.
Shang Tsung;
Flatters you any change he gets. Is really good at seduction and knows the right thing to say all the time.
Part of the way he flirts is with keeping himself mysterious enough to leave you wanting to know more about him. It puts him in a position of control.
Often will hold prolonged eye contact. It’s intense and he uses it to create a connection between you. Even though he’s sharp with his tongue, sometimes the eyes say more.
Can be a tease, but never in a way that leave it open for you to tease him back. He always has the upper hand. Always.
😭 So good 🤌👌
