My brain started hitting me with ideas out of nowhere earlier today and:
I think I'm starting to really like the concept of Te/ruTeruxGun/dham akfghlkl (and also Ter/uTeruxHaji/me but to a lesser extent)
Not as OTPs of course, my main ships are way too strong to be dissuaded but they are kinda cute/interesting concepts c':
BIG SPOILERS FOR BOTH MAIN AND ISLAND GAME BELOW!!!
Teru's FTEs in island mode with H/ajime were cute tbh (I haven't done the actual date stuff with him, I just mean regular FTE route). You know, minus the drugging at the end. He would obviously have to develop to the point of Not Doing That and better himself as a person before Haji would ever want to legit date him lmao
I don't have a lot of concepts for them yet I just like that Haji is deadpan enough that he wouldn't put up with any of Teru's bullshit but also he can be flustered easily at times so Teru could still pull some teasing over on him every so often lol (or a lot. Make Haji go bright red and choke on his drink. I love the idea of Teru flustering him to death and being a smug lil shit about it). And also Teru picking the one who's supposed to be The Bland Everyman is fun because either A. 'Makeover Time' that Haji immediately rejects or B. Teru gets to look More Fabulous by comparison. He is very pleased with this.
Come on Haji the man made you a Pot Roast. A POT ROAST. A GOOD SOUTHERN ONE WITH ALL THE FIXIN'S. MARRY HIM.
Also they're both such sassy bi/s lets be real. Teru is the one who back hand compliments you and Haji will just call you a bitch to your face. They'd be the couple that trash talks everyone as soon as they get in the car/back home. Which isn't a great trait ofc but you know, no one's perfect.
Okay and for Gu/ndham I have more ideas just because I always do I love him so much
But I really like the irony of Te/ruteru accidentally Catching Feelings for the one guy on that damn island he didn't flirt with lmao. I mean come on, Gu/ndham is pasty af and he's weird and intimidating and tbh I don't think they exchanged like, two words in the game. They stayed away from each other except idk how it happened exactly but oh boy Teru's in deep and he has no idea how to deal with it bc these aren't his normal sexy joking flirty feelings these are Real Fuzzy Feelings (tm) EW WHAT THE FUCK GET THEM AWAY H E L P?!?
Bonus: As usual, G is painstakingly oblivious and that's an extra special hell for Teru bc none of his suave pickup lines or not-so-subtle touches or Love Potions (not drugs this time, probs just fruit punch made special with his fav fruits) are working and he wants to scream
He probably DOES end up screaming and Gu/ndham's even more baffled. H/ajime probably has to step in as wingman for both of them.
G/undham does eventually come around and understand, and also understand 'oh shit I actually do like this short very loud chef'
Teru would probably acknowledge that Gu/ndham is technically the second most 'effeminate' (for lack of a better word, idk fashion) dresser out of the boys on the island and it doesn't look half-bad. He does have good taste in jewelry and his hair proves he puts effort into styling it. The scarf is also nice. If he'd just drop the 3000 layers and Bandaged Dark Wizard Thing he could look very fabulous (and very hot). Gu/ndham might, if he is feeling generous, allow one (1) emo pretty boi makeover. For a single day.
*Teru works rlly hard to learn and make excellent vegetarian dishes even if the lack of giant meat chunks is murder to his southern soul. He also goes out of his way to prepare exciting treats and meals for the D/evas.
*He even lets Gu/ndham help in the kitchen sometimes. Except he always puts too much salt in 'I SAID A PINCH GODAMMIT NOT THE WHOLE DIDDLY DAMN SALT BAG' - 'BUT YOUR DISH REQUIRES THESE RITUAL SALT LINES TO KEEP DEMONS FROM SPOILING IT!"
*There are many arguments about whether or not the hamsters are allowed in the kitchen. Ranging from silly 2 minute banter to full blown life-or-death I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL screaming/crying matches. The hamsters take these opportunities to smuggle food out of the kitchen and leave their master and his new mate to bicker
*they try to avoid discussing meat/dairy farming for the sake of their relationship. However, Teru does get a tiny bit more sentiment for farm animals after seeing G interact with them on the ranch.
* Eventually Teru becomes fluent in G/undham-speak, and likewise, Gun/dham learns Teru's most 'A/vril Lavigne!!!!' Southern. After spending enough time together alone, they can end up speaking in a hideous mixture and everyone around them is even more lost and frustrated than they thought possible. Mo/nomi can't translate anymore. Even Mo/nukuma has a breakdown.
