♡ eden and hanamaru pweeeease <3
pre-established relationship meme / accepting!
alright here are some earnest estimations...
FRIENDS. childhood friends / work friends / family friends / recently friends / turning antagonistic / turning into something romantic / stable / falling apart / friendship of need / friendship of circumstance / pen - pals or internet friends / coworkers / partners / other .
here’s the thing… if you ask me, they’re capable of being friends. it might be a little bit of a struggle (especially on eden’s side LOL), but it’s a real possibility. if they meet around 1999-2000, there’s a great chance eden’s excitement at the thought of meeting someone a bit more open minded would overtake any and all hesitation she harbors, increasing her efforts. and i think, in a weird way, she would see herself in kaiji—- the fact he’s not particularly social, at rock bottom, struggling in every way and has an honest heart… it’d appeal to her, and incentivize her to express sincere interest in him as a person. she’s also capable of aiding him in whatever goals he has; her stand’s ability to eavesdrop and transfer information undoubtedly has its perks irt being one step ahead of the enemy, and planning around their strategies. her intentions are sincere, even if/she runs her mouth often, and she’s willing to put in the work to prove herself! that is… if kaiji wants her to.
so, what about this as a vague plot: what if they end up in a Situation™ together, forcing them to bond together and fight off whatever individual’s in their way. perhaps they got off on the wrong foot, and there’s irritation brimming each spoken word, irritation in dire need of dismissal as, if they don’t get their shit together, will destroy both of them. 🫣
ROMANCE. childhood sweethearts / newly entered / soulmates / skinny love / unrequited from my muses side / unrequited from your muses side / friends with benefits / awkward / fading / turning toxic / toxic and destructive / other .
FAMILIAL BOND. sibling bond / older sibling figure to your muse / younger sibling figure to your muse / parental figure to your muse / parental figure to your muse / guardian figure / legal guardian / other .
once they get past that awkies early friendship stage, i can quickly see them mimicking that “you’re the older brother/younger sister i’ve never had” dynamic; particularly one where eden isn’t even aware that’s happening. sadly, the only siblings she has are brothers, of whom the first she meets when she’s already an adult; she isn’t certain how to navigate these relationships either, but damn she would try!!!
ENEMIES. dangerous to themselves / dangerous to others / unpredictable / passionate / rivals / petty / developing into a sexual tension / developing into a romantic tension / based off family matters / based off circumstance / based of professional matters / based off misunderstandings or lies / other .
eden’s prone to assume ill intentions in others. it’s not a trait she’s proud of, but that’s what poor experiences do to a woman. so if kaiji says something and she interprets it wrong, her belief is likely that it’s a premeditated attempt to hurt. unfortunately, that can blossom into a strong grudge if not properly taken care of—- which… you know, without intervention, could happen… and will linger for a while after. i wouldn’t be surprised if this were the obstacle blocking any sincere friendship attempts.

alright, assuming that kaiji stays in giorno’s life beyond them solving his issues with teiai together and keeping kaiji out of harm’s way, him meeting hanamaru might become… inevitable. despite giorno’s many efforts to separate work and his private life, one tends to bleed into the other, particularly once he grows fond of someone. so imagine this: giorno trusts kaiji enough to bring him over to his actual, concealed home, and hanamaru is there, relatively young and curious. this is how they’re introduced to one another: the child of kaiji’s friend approaches him and immediately wants to know everything about him. a breath of fresh air in a sea of drama and tension perhaps…
however… there’s always the option for there to be an Issue when she’s older. maybe the issue is related to hanamaru getting herself into trouble, because she is a rather unwise, curious teen with strong impulses. maybe her cringe self entrusts kaiji with certain information (perhaps she flirts with gambling … which may just have serious consequences if she decides to continue) in an attempt to impress him, only for that to backfire one way or another!!

not saying kaiji will fight a mislead child but i will say hanamaru can be a real hater and is probably prone to confronting someone who’s trying to steer her onto a different path as she’s annoyingly stubborn. hence her potential anger, avoidance and panic… which i will say won’t turn into hatred, just... simmering bitterness at someone interfering with her (stupid) plans....
