select muses … re. pda
sanji … okay. we know. WE KNOW. he wouldn’t care, he loves it. while sanji isn’t doing anything publicly indecent, he will give his romantic partner kisses in public, holding hands, arm around the waist, open and fond gazes, the whole nine yards. and he absolutely melts under the same treatment. besides the more obvious reasons, sanji does desire to be loved openly, for the world to see, for everyone to know he’s with that person and that person with him. if his partner isn’t okay with pda, he’s willing to tone it down, of course. but, he has no issue with it whatsoever and in fact, encourages it.
shoko … it’s not that she has an issue with it, but she’s not one to show any overt displays of affection in public. hand holding, having her hand on her partner’s knee under the table, sitting a little closer than she might next to them— all are quieter displays and not entirely obvious. (she does get possessive at times….. i leave it up to you to unlock that side of her….) her more affectionate displays are reserved for behind closed doors / when alone. she’s a private person and her relationship is something deeply important to her. she doesn’t hide it per se, but she also doesn’t believe it’s entirely anyone’s business.
haru … someplace in between shoko and sanji. he’s very dominant in the sense that he has a hand at the small of his partner’s back, no qualms asking for a kiss before they part ways no matter who may be looking, intense eye contact, that sort of thing. he leaves no doubt in anyone’s mind who he’s in love with.
iselda … she’s surprisingly not very against it. she leans towards smaller displays, but isn’t entirely against more overt displays of affection. it differs slightly in her mainverse. she can’t be open with many of her affiliations much less her relationship with rosinante. so, she’s forced to show affection behind closed doors. when she is publicly affectionate, it isn’t like— gonna cause anyone discomfort but she’s much more open to it than one might think.
