BLLK HEADCANONS: Ego Jinpachi Falling in Love with You
[Okay, so I guess this is my first post! I’ve had these ideas swimming in my head for a long time. I tried my best to make it as accurate as possible to Ego and how he functions, so I hope yall Ego freaks enjoy this❤️❤️]
[Meeting Him]
-I dont know how original this idea is but here we go
-You were one of his sponsors, a sort of neutral power sent to watch over whatever Ego was supposed to be doing at Blue Lock.
-You were sort of a neutral power, not on Anri’s side nor agreeing with the rest of the sponsors/parents with how useless the program was.
-Obviously, Ego came off as extremely rude, cold and blunt with a side of nonchalance; as he always was.
-But you didn’t give a shit because as long as this dude did great things with your money.
-You knew he would when he talked about soccer.
-He talked about it like it was God’s gift to mankind. It was the only thing he cared about. To say he loved it would be an understatement.
-After all, his ego in itself embodied soccer.
-Over the course of two weeks, you watched over whatever he was doing, as you were requested to do.
-Anri was more than happy to have you (to not suffer alone with Ego)
-Ego kept up his regular, annoying personality.
-If you didnt quit after the first week, he would tolerate you and even begin interacting with you (at a minimum).
-But you had done your research (unlike the other sponsors) and actually knew soccer extensively. Especially Ego’s background.
-This intrigued him and perhaps even impressed him with how much you bothered to know. He could appreciate a fellow analyst.
[Falling In Love]
-You learned his favourite things, able to provide most of them the same way Anri does (in the sense of food and comfortability)
-She was honestly just happy to have some help dealing with him
-When you managed to get the hang of them and cater to his many picky needs, he was mildly impressed by your quick learning.
-Of course, you matched his freak as well. You were as sarcastic as he was, you teased him endlessly and you called him names.
-You didnt hurt him, it was more him being amused by it. And that meant a lot, he was rarely ever amused by things unrelated to soccer.
-Not to mention you both had similar interests. That is, in studying people.
-Occasionally, you would introduce him to the world of psychological horror, which he absolutely adored you for.
-I mean, regular psychological stress in movies were fun, but horror was the cherry on top of his chaotic ice cream that he never knew he needed.
-So you started these little movie marathons during the weekends.
-Before he knew it, he would think about you in his free time. You would come in short bursts and with feelings he never thought he was capable of.
-He put you second to soccer. Yes, you were more important than food, which said a lot.
-If you haven’t guessed it yet, his love language is words of affirmation (barely, since they were more criticising rather than affirming) and surprisingly, quality time (because being with you was as if he was already alone because of how unlike you were to other human beings)
-He will attempt to psychically tell you how he feels by dropping short hints here and there, which dragged out the confession.
-Eventually, you just deduced that he liked you. And you were right on the money. You both always were.
[DATING!!!]
-He finds more time for you. You wanna hang out? Phsshhh, as if he was doing anything important! He was just showering for the first time in two days
-Oh, you wanna sleep over at his place for a while? Let him help you pack. You must be tired.
-In response to you doing everything for him as he asked you too, he surprisingly started to reciprocate that energy as well.
-Like I said, he really likes you.
-He also attempts to cater to your needs romantically too.
-He ordered flowers (he didnt know your favourites so he got bouquet and gouged your reaction), making two bowls of ramen instead of one and getting a second comforter for when you come over (he’s a blanket hogger)
-Also lets you do whatever you want to him (while he ignores you because for some reason, you always wanna get touchy when he’s watching the Blk tapes and not paying attention to you. I wonder why.)
- Hates physical touch at first, since no one ever gave him any. LOVES it after he gets used to it.
-Does not do PDA. Because he doesnt go out in public.
-Often puts you behind soccer. Which you understand.
-Remember when I said you were a sponsor? Yeah, you rich, bbg. But naturally, he dgaf. He treats you like any other person (like shit). But it only partially changed once you started dating him.
-He does not apologize first. EVER. Not does he feel guilty.
-But eventually he would attempt to make you feel better by initiating physical contact.
-You always have to be first to be vulnerable before he reciprocates it.
-Even then, it’s still rare moments.
-Ego takes a long, LONG time to say ‘I love you’.
-Will deny dating you for absolutely no reason until he proposes (an active thought it his head).
