Why I ship dark choco x madeleine (so my brain doesn’t explode)
I want to talk about them and kinda of explain why I ship it and also spread the agenda guys please hear me out PLEASE
- I think they would have a really interesting dynamic with how they interact and would learn from eachother
Since madeleine is practically everything that dark choco wanted to be, a hero and what not, I think it could be interesting
I like to believe the two met after madeleine left to explore the world and learn about other cultures he would run into dark choco who became a wonderer after leaving COD, maybe madeleine needed a place to rest and choco would lend a hand and let madeleine stay at his little campsite. With madeleine being himself of course he would probably go on to tell tales of his adventures and heroic deeds (ofc dramatized but whateves) and dark choco is really interested by these stories and gains an admiration for madeleine. This admiration would lead to dark choco allowing madeleine to stay longer for shelter during the night so they could continue talking and building a friendship, madeleine who is always eager to tell more stories but is also intrigued by dark choco with how reserved he is (kinda like with espresso except instead of trying to get his attention he wants to learn more about him). So as madeleine stays he slowly drifts the conversation onto dark choco and eventually asks how he ended up as a wonderer, dark choco is reluctant but is swayed by the odd charm madeleine has to him and tells him a partial truth, that he was apart of the cookies of darkness and was manipulated by those around him before he escaped their grasp and finally left. Dark choco anticipates a bad reaction from madeleine, but is shocked when instead madeleine is enthralled by the story and wants to learn more. This catches dark choco off guard but he declines telling madeleine that it is a hard subject, madeleine, though a little upset, drops it but continues talking to dark choco now very intrigued by him. They continue to talk, dark choco slowly slightly warming up more and adding onto the conversation. As night falls madeleine takes up dark chocos earlier offer of taking shelter with him, the next morning madeleine lingers a bit instead of leaving to continue his journey. Dark choco notices this and questions madeleine, after thinking for a minute madeleine asks dark choco to accompany him as he enjoyed talking to him and still wants to learn more of him (and is quite lonely after not having a traveling partner for so long). Dark choco is surprised to hear that madeleine wants to him to stick around, even though there have been some cookies that continue to stay by him it isn’t many so it’s still a shock to hear. Dark choco agrees to accompany him and they journey together.
And through being around eachother in their journey I think it could help build their characters such as dark choco believeing he could become a hero once again through madeleine’s encouragement and understanding. And I think madeleine could become more humble and grateful for how everything turned out for him after getting to know dark choco more. They can fix eachother while also accepting their flaws and issues guys I swear
Just some rando headcanons now
- dark choco likes how madeleine can continue a conversation between the two by himself with how talkative he is since dark choco can tend to struggle socially
- Madeleine loves how gentle dark choco can be
- Madeleine likes to brush out dark chocos hair
- Dark choco will unconsciously play or mess with madeleines hair when he’s by him
- Madeleine tends to hook his arm around dark chocos instead of holding hands
- Dark choco likes laying his head on madeleines chest and listening to his heart beat, madeleine will also rub dark chocos back and it helps him fall asleep easy
- Though madeleine is not the best at comforting he does his best to help dark choco, this has taught him that sometimes it’s just better to listen and not speak
- Madeleine likes taking dark choco out to cafes and buying him different sweets to try since the dark cacao kingdom only had bitter foods, dark choco doesn’t like things that are too sweet like the doughnuts but he does enjoy tarts since sour fruit balances the sweetness
- Madeleine is very clingy and will do things like wrap his legs around dark chocos when they’re laying down or sleeping, laying his legs over dark chocos when their sitting down or leaning against him
- Madeleine has a tendency to repeat stories because he forgets he already told them, dark choco will always listen no matter how many times he’s already heard it
- Madeleine bought dark choco a kitten for his birthday, it climbs up on dark choco and sits on his shoulders
- They cook together, madeleine has more experience from his aunts teaching him and dark choco has little to none, madeleine loves to teach him
- Madeleines family LOVES dark choco, they absolutely pamper him when given the chance
