Some Ryoma x Kaede headcanons
· Ryoma Hoshi and Kaede Akamatsu, most thought of them as the ‘opposites attract’ kind of situation, but most couldn’t be more wrong. They assumed Kaede was happy-go-lucky, and outgoing while Ryoma was more distant and introverted. Ryoma was actually quite the positive guy if one listened to his words closely enough. Having been through a rough past Ryoma was able to learn and mature from his mistakes and was filled to the brim with sage advice, that was one of Kaede’s favorite things about him in fact.
· As for Ryoma, his favorite trait in Kaede was her unbridled perseverance. Even in the worst of times, she’d always find some way to keep pushing forward. And that perseverance was quite infectious at times.
· The pair always have very direct conversations with one another and make sure communication between them is as open as possible. Though this came naturally with them, they always made a conscience effort things were like this. It was a vitally important pillar in forming their initial friendship after all.
· They have a pair of pet cats, a Russian Blue and a Siamese. Both cats absolutely loved Kaede’s pianos, perching on them as if claiming them as their own. Once when Kaede was doing maintenance on her upright piano she had to leave it for a moment, leaving the upper panel off. When she returned, she found the cats laying behind the keyboard, under the hammer rail. They were peacefully just laying there, their eyes half closed. Kaede then got the bright idea of trying to play the piano with the cats there. As she played the cats didn’t dare move, in fact one fell asleep while the other rubbed their face against the piano frame. It then became a sort of tradition to leave the upper panel off around maintenance time and to play a calm song when the cats laid there.
· Ryoma and Kaede’s favorite thing to do for date night is take the cats for a walk. It just always seems so calm and peaceful whenever they do so. They mostly walk in silence, but it’s a nice comfortable silence.
· They tend to act like a father and big sister figure to their classmates. Sometimes they’re even jokingly called ‘mom’ and ‘dad’.
· Overall, they are a fantastic couple, and they love being together. They wouldn’t have it any other way.
