I seriously love your blog and always get super excited when I see you've posted something new! Anyway! I've realized that I am as tall/taller than most of the Shinsengumi members, and I'm wondering what they'd think about an SO that's you know... taller or as tall as them. What do you think? Love love love your blog, your hcs and your writing and can't wait to read more from you!
Thanks so much @inquisitorwinchester! This is such a fun request!! I’ve been wanting to write some HCs about this for a while now--we can’t all be Chizuru-sized (love u babe but damn girl u tiny) So here we go, for a random handful of the romanceable guys:
Will be really attracted to the confident way you carry yourself because of your height
If you’re also the type to be independent and do things for yourself, that combination would make him pretty weak
Finds it harder to boss you around when you can stare him down from the same level, which is quite enjoyable for you to watch him come to grips with
He’s usually pretty hands-off and professional with you in public, but will slip an arm around your waist now and then since you’re the perfect height for it
It’s definitely all an adjustment at first. He’s used to dating women who are at least a head shorter
Will realize his signature head-pat move doesn’t work as well when the girl’s almost at eye level
Kissing is finally comfortable for him though; he doesn’t have to bend down super far to reach you, which is sort of amazing and a new feeling for him
He’s very much a leg man, so even on a superficial level he certainly could appreciate being with a tall woman
You two also bond over being above average height for your respective genders, swapping stories about the difficulties of finding clothes that fit right and being expected to do the tall-person chores
He loves the thought of settling down with you and imagines with pride how tall all your kids will be
It really throws him off in the beginning
He used to think he didn’t really have a type, until he fell for you and realized he’d always gone for petite girls in the past
It makes him uneasy that you’re close to his level, because it means he can’t hide his expression as easily when he gets nervous or embarrassed around you
Still, he really enjoys that you’re tall enough to be a physical match for him
He’s super proud of his physique but tends to be overly conscious of the size difference between him and most girls, not wanting to come on literally too strong with anything
The fact that you’re taller lets him hold back less when you’re kissing or fooling around
He’s not a tall guy, so he’ll be fairly used to running into women who are near his height
Will appreciate that it puts you at perfect hand-holding levels with each other
Sometimes leans his head on your shoulder when he’s tired or feeling affectionate
Might seriously suggest on more than one occasion that you should consider taking up some kind of martial arts or kendo training, since you have a good build for it
It’s the highest of compliments coming from him
It’s not really something that’s on his radar
He’ll definitely take note of how tall you are, but he won’t treat you differently or feel a certain way toward you because of it
Does like that you can sit and talk to each other eye-to-eye; it’s a little thing, but it makes him happy
Will sometimes ask you to fetch things for him from high-up places and then chuckle to himself at his own dorky joke
He’s more into it than he wants to own up to
It’s part of why he gives you such a hard time about that particular feature of yours, poking some fun at your long arms and legs
When you’ve got him at your mercy with enough kisses and affection, he’ll reluctantly admit that it’s not so bad
Likes the way your bodies line up easily during cuddles and sex
Has a running joke that he misses seeing the top of your head and will sometimes pull you down with an arm around your shoulder so he can put a kiss there
He’d be lying if he said he was 100% secure with his size. But he’s basically come to terms with it by now, thanks to many years of maturing and personal growth
Realizing he has feelings for a girl who’s taller than him might undo that a bit
Inwardly will curse his luck
At first, things like you putting your arm around his shoulders instead of the other way around will make him really chagrined, though he’ll do his best to keep it together in front of you and especially the other captains
He’ll definitely feel a need to prove his manliness to you, even more so than usual
Heisuke’s already the first one to dive into a dangerous situation, but once you’re together it reaches a whole new level
It’s not just recklessness on his part. He’s used to being underestimated by other guys, and part of him will wonder whether you have the opposite problem--that people assume you can take care of yourself because you’re tall and imposing for a girl
He definitely won’t make the same assumptions and in fact will work even harder to protect you, to show how much he cares for you
Thinks it’s pretty hot actually
Like Toshi, he appreciates how confident and self-assured you come off as because of your height
He’s mature enough that it wouldn’t really bother him if you were slightly taller than he is, except in the moments when he’d have to lean up a bit to kiss you
Really into your long legs, and though he’s shy about admitting it out loud, it’s super obvious to you
He’s also a fast walker and used to getting places efficiently when he’s on duty, so the fact that you can keep up with his pace without even trying is a nice bonus
