༒︎ riyo is very much a cat, especially when it comes to you and her's relationship.
༒︎ her physical affection is very feline-coded; hopping up on the couch and sticking her head between your face and the book you're reading, purposefully getting so close to you her hair brushes you as she passes, falling asleep on you in the car ride back home from battle, biting you out of the blue just to keep you on your toes, you're pretty sure if you tried to rub her belly she'd kick you in the face...
༒︎ she's also super easy to scare so depending on the kind of person you are, you either mess with her to no end or you warn her when sneaky asshole enjin approaches with a new prank.
༒︎ now she's not insanely clingy and doesn't like others being insanely clingy either; remember that she's lowkey a cat so too much and she'll start to get annoyed. she likes shared non-verbal time (body doubling is what i believe it's called!) where you two just share the space; she sharpens her scissors while your nap, you organize one of the cabinets in your room while she flips through magazines, things like that! you chat sometimes
༒︎ that's of course not to say she doesn't love you in other ways! this girl is definitely an acts of service kind of girl.
༒︎ it's your turn to do chores but you're out on a mission or just not feeling up to it? consider it done! forgot to go run an errand on top of your very busy schedule? riyo's forcing enjin to take her instead so you don't have to worry about anything! need to snip your dead ends, you know riyo's got you covered!
༒︎ obviously hair care and moreover, self care, is essential to you two's bond!
༒︎ she is keen on a spa day at least once a month; joint baths where you wash her back, noting each freckle and mole that decorates her pale back, and she washes your hands, carefully scrubbing the dirt from your scarred nailbeds.
༒︎ you both wash each other's hair outside the bath, you scrubbing her scalp and teasing her for naturally red hair—"hmm, i still think it's dyed..." "girl stop playin with me! there's no runoff!!"—and her gently raking her conditioner-covered fingers through each and every strand of your hair!"—"are you purrin' [name]?" "what?! me?! nahh..."
༒︎ now if your hair is not bone straight like riyo, she goes hard in studying your hair and learning how you do it. she watches you like a hawk the first times you do it yourself, noting each step you take, product you use, the pace you use when you comb your fingers through your hair, etc.
༒︎ then she springs the question!"—"can i take a go at your hair?"—you both are nervous; you trust your girlfriend but you've worked with your hair for year longer than you two being together—but riyo is great a feigning confidence! (she would never forgive herself if she messed up your hair though)
༒︎ a mix of pride and reassurance blooms throughout both of you once she's all done! your scalp has never felt so clear, strands never felt so moisturized, and you smell soo good even though she used the exact same products you did!
༒︎ and what kind of girlfriend would she be if she didn't bedazzle you a little? charms and threads of silver or gold, depending on your preference, decorate your luscious locks, you feel like a star.
༒︎ now we know riyo is a lot like her papa enjin so expect lots of outings with others! don't worry, you two still do one-on-one dates but expect a girls night with eisha, amo, guita, tomme and semiu once and while (even if you're not a girl, you're obviously invited. zanka too is an honorary girl so he joins sometimes too!). it's a night full of karaoke, mocktails and cocktails, binging shitty movies and making snacks! you guys have made heart-shaped pizzas, bracelets aligning to your eye colors, have made power point presentations based on your crazy theories about the other cleaners, etc.
༒︎ solo dates other than spa days include late-night parkour and grabbing spicy night market noodles after, spontaneous shopping sprees and gossiping over magazines. life with riyo is fun so you have to be up for a spontaneous challenge; if you don't have insomnia, you may have to tell her to invest in a sleep schedule instead of bothering you.
༒︎ definitely could see a good spar as a date too! depending on the kind of fighter you are she won't go too all out with you vital instrument-wise but when it comes throwing just straight hands? this girl is down!!
༒︎ now of course she is still precise and careful with you she ensures all of her hits land relatively softly or in place that won't hurt after like 2 seconds. in the rare case that a hit connects awfully and does end up hurting you beyond a simple sting, she drops everything and scrams to bring back a worried eisha, giving you a big ol' smooch as soon as you're patched up!
༒︎ why are all the women in gachiakuta are teases? idk but riyo too is a bit of a trickster. you two have a lot of inside jokes that confuse everyone and while some are in on it (mainly semiu and eisha), others aren't (rudo, zanka, august, enjin, honestly all of the men—)
༒︎ jealousy, what's that? she knows where her loyalty lies and she knows where yours and do too. if they don't lie with hers, why would she waste her time with you? simple as that.
