Raiden 4, 10, 18, 21, 32, 35 Akane 3, 4, 10, 16, 32, 35
4. How do they say “I love you”?
Raiden says “I love you” by making time for people and going out of his way to see them. If he loves you, he will spend thirty straight hours on flights and in airports just to visit you, or push back work-related tasks to make it to a special event of yours.
In terms of significant others, Raiden is the type who will just literally say it. After spending years watching the awkward, tsundere-ish way his parents handle affection, Raiden decided that he has no time for that shit. If he loves his s/o, he will say so—out loud, frequently, and to their face. (Erina, for her part, has no idea how she ended up with such a brave child).
10. Would they be the one to propose to their significant other?
Mmm...probably. It depends on who he’s with, honestly. Like his father before him, Raiden would probably feel comfortable living common law for a long time before he gets around to popping the question. However, if the person he’s with is more traditional or just wants to move faster, they might just propose to him.
18. How do they comfort an upset loved one?
Raiden tries to listen empathetically and allow the person to be upset before he tries to offer advice or solve the problem. He finds it important to just acknowledge the person’s feelings. After this, he might try to do something to distract the person—maybe cook them a special meal or take them out for an activity they enjoy (or a mini-vacation. Honestly, if it’s Raiden, a trip has to be involved somehow).
21. What is the best gift they’ve ever received?
His chef’s knife, from Grandpa Jouichirou, and the case, from his parents.
32. If they were a pokemon, which would they be?
I guess he would naturally have to be a Raichu XD.
35. What sort of parent would they be?
I think Raiden would be a fun, easygoing dad like Souma and Jouichirou before him. He would teach his kids to appreciate foods and ideas no matter where they come from, and encourage them to follow their interests and passions wherever they may lead. I cannot see him being strict at all lol.
3. What sort of cuddler are they?
She’s too much lol (although one would never be able to tell unless they’re romantically involved with her). When she’s with someone, Akane likes to have her face buried in her s/o’s chest with their arms wrapped around her. She also likes spooning (she’s always the little spoon) under the covers. The days of having personal space in bed are long gone the second a person gets into a relationship with her.
4. How do they say “I love you”?
If Akane truly cares about someone, be it in a romantic or platonic context, she will push them to become the best versions of themselves. This might be through constructive criticism (some might say nagging), rivalry and competition, or encouragement and support. She tends to be good at figuring out what people need from her and giving it to them.
In strictly romantic contexts, she has a subtle way of letting people know how she feels. It’s some nebulous combination of loving gazes, warm kisses, and special dishes that just lets people know she adores them.
10. Would they be the one to propose to their significant other?
Generally speaking, Akane would prefer to be proposed to, but she is a modern empowered woman and she’s willing to propose if it comes to that.
16. What makes them worry?
Akane sometimes struggles with anxiety, so she worries quite a lot; every time she turns on the news there’s a new source of stress. One of her triggers is not knowing where people are. If someone she cares about leaves on a flight, she’ll start imagining the worst case scenario if they don’t call and let her know they reached their destination safely.
32. If they were a pokemon, which would they be?
I think she’d be a vulpix (and eventually a ninetales).
35. What sort of parent would they be?
I think she would be strict-ish about things like schoolwork, in the way I imagine Erina and Hisako being. She would have very high expectations and fully intend to have them met. However, she would love her kids unconditionally and ultimately spoil them to no end.
