Got a funny idea that just came to me since I've been binging more indie otome. How do you think lucien and kanoire would feel when seeing the player play a lot of dating sims or fangirl over 2d characters like Alicia?
Bonus: what would they think if the player's best husbando was really similar to them, or opposite to them?
Hi anon! This question is really cute, I love it 😭💗
He would freeze for a second like “…Ah.”
Then he quietly watches you from the corner of his eye. He doesn’t get angry (he’s not the type) but he gets this soft, confused little sting in his chest like— “Is… is that what she likes?”
“…Do they have something I don’t?”
He won’t stop you, and he’ll never complain. But he gets a little more attentive afterward without realizing it, more eye contact, softer voice, small gestures… It’s unconscious jealousy but also him trying to understand you better.
If your favorite husbando is similar to him, he gets flustered but secretly relieved.
But if your favorite is his opposite, he panics quietly inside because he thinks he can’t compete 😭
Lucien pretends he doesn’t care. Very calm. Very composed. Very “hm.”
He actually understands too well what it means to adore someone from far away.
Sometimes, when he sees how your face brightens while talking about that character,
he’ll bring you a piece of merchandise, a keychain, a small figure, a limited acrylic stand. (whatever he sees you liking)
“I know what it feels like to love someone you can’t touch. So… here.”
“Just make sure you save a little space in your heart for someone real… alright? ^^”
He won’t get jealous right away, but he’ll file it away mentally.
Lucien is the type who gets slow-burn jealousy, it doesn’t show until he realizes he wants you to look at him that way too.
If your husbando is similar to him, he acts neutral but internally: “…I see.”
But if your husbando is his complete opposite, he gets very quiet… “What exactly draws her in?” He wants to understand it.
