Shinkane questions! pre-relationship: 4, 5; general: 3, 7; love: 1, 3, 13; domestic life: 2, 6, 11
Awww, how many lovely questions!! Thank you!!
Let me see…
PRE-RELATIONSHIP
4. Who felt romantic feelings first?
Akane. Definitely. All season one and their movie are Akane’s feelings for Kougami-driven. Kougami is a slow-burning type, in my opinion.
5. Did either of them try to resist their feelings?
Again, Akane. Do you remember when Kagari asked her if she was in love? Or when in Mandatory Happiness, the male MC asked the same? Luckily after First Inspector, it seems that she’s able to be slightly more open towards Kougami.
GENERAL
3. What was their first kiss like?
Ooooh, to answer this question, I truly believe that something shocking should happen for the two of them to kiss. Something able to suddenly destroy all the boundaries and the walls between them. Something like Akane being in mortal danger before Kougami’s eyes, making him realizing for good that he cannot lose her… and kissing her desperately once he realizes that she’s fine. *season one, ep. 22 alike, to say* And Akane, shocked by his sudden kiss, her face still in his hands, looking at his shocked and handsome face too, giving him her sweetest smile, reassuring him, before keeping on fighting again together.
7. Who takes the lead in social situations?
Both. Kougami can be a lone wolf, we know, but he can be self-assured, so if/when they are together, they both can take the lead. Also, Kougami is secretly proud of how much confident and self-assured Akane has become during the years, even though she still keeps her original kindness and grace.
LOVE
1. Who said “I love you” first?
Akane, I guess. She’s been longing for too much… and Kougami is too private to openly say it. He’s the one who’s better at acting than speaking. But hearing those words from Akane’s lips… well, it makes his heart skipping a beat.
3. Who uses cheesy pick-up lines?
Nobody, actually. They’re adults and they went through too much to flirt like this. But Akane would be amused to know that once there was somebody who used to call him “Piyogami-san”.
13. Who remembers the little things?
Kougami, definitely. He’s a good observer and details are fundamental in their job, but while Akane has a plain view, Kougami is the one who remembers little things better.
DOMESTIC LIFE
2. What’s the wedding like? Who attends?
A simple, almost traditional ceremony, full of love, emotion, devotion, and commitment. Their families and a few friends attend. I can see Akane wearing a simple and gracious white dress, small flowers in her hair, and a pair of white pearls. Kougami, hair slightly combed behind (like in a handsome fanart I saw days ago) waiting for her in his black tuxedo, with Gino as his best man. And their families, Tomoyo-san, Akane’s parents, Shion, Yayoi, Mika, Sugo and… I would love to see Saiga-sensei greet them.
6. Who worries the most?
Kougami. He’s genetically fitted to worry about Akane’s survival and well-being. Akane is having trouble with knives or fire? No worry, Kougami’s already taking care of it. Obviously, Akane loves seeing him so protective, but she sometimes needs to remember him that he shouldn't worry this much, because there’s that wrinkle between his eyebrows that...~ *I can hear Akane’s laughter and Kou’s grumbling*
11. Who likes to dance?
Akane. Since she’s younger and she had a definitely happier childhood than Kougami, I can see Akane dancing sometimes, while listening to her favorite music, during her spare time. Surprisingly, one day Kougami came home with a veeeeeery very old vinyl disc and the two of them end up dancing Sinatra together~ To your imagination what happens next~
Thank you for asking, it was amazing to have the chance to write about Shinkane!! Have a nice day!!
