Bamboo Rice + MA Headcanons
anon, at first i had to keep telling myself “he’s not green ryoma, he’s not green ryoma (from fire emblem)” so i’m sorry if these are a little off the mark, but tbh writing this made me really really like him and now he’s one of my favs even though i still haven’t summoned him! what a precious, pure boy :)))
You couldn’t help but be enamored with this boy’s natural charm and good looks. You became friends quickly because everything is so straightforward with him, no subterfuge, so it’s always easy to gauge where you stand.
Unfortunately, this came with the side effect of Bamboo Rice becoming extremely overprotective of you and a bit clingy because of his lack of understanding of human relationships.
"Can't you just talk to me? Why do you still need other people?!"
Is extremely jealous when you summon new food souls until you reassure him nothing has changed. He’s especially not a fan if you’ve already made a contract with Boston Lobster, the two of them fight over you constantly, though Boston Lobster would never admit that’s the reason why they don’t get along.
Like Peking Duck, he’s friendly to the other food souls and finds them curious, but also enjoys his space away from them. You can usually find him sitting in a tree, watching other people, talking to animals or occasionally singing (he’s surprisingly good at it) if he knows you aren’t around.
Very helpful, like almost aggressively so. If you mention you need anything, he’s there by your side to do it immediately.
Sometimes his enthusiasm gets the best of him and you have to remind him of the social norms he missed out on living in the forest like how you can’t just go up to people and touch them without asking!
And though he means well, sometimes he says a bit too much of what's on his mind, which has occasionally offended others and you’ve had to tell him to go apologize as he stood there bewildered.
Also very tactile. He has no problems hugging you, invading your personal space, leaning on you or cuddling. While you don’t mind, it’s given others the impression there’s more going on between the two of you than you let on.
He’s ticklish. So very very ticklish.
Would definitely try and get you to play with animals with him. No beast scares him, though he does have respect for the larger and more dangerous ones. He would definitely point out any information about their temperament he’s learned when dealing with them to you and try to get you to handle all sorts of creatures he knows, even ones out of your comfort zone like bugs!
Big Ah and Little Ah are your favorites though because they’re the only ones that are close to being domesticated. You love the way they follow him around and chatter back to him and they even listen to you sometimes, though Big Ah sometimes has more of a stubborn streak.
Would never pick up on the subtleties of flirting. If he ended up liking you (which he most likely will) as more than a friend, he’ll just say it flat out when he realizes it, but isn’t sure where to go from there.
“I don’t know where we go from here, so you’ll need to show me. Whatever it is, I want to do it. I want you to never leave me, okay? I want us to be together forever, Master Attendant.”
Kissing at first is strange lip smashing he’s seen other people do and didn’t totally understand, but gets the hang of it pretty quickly. He’s a quick study and soon you find yourself weak in the knees everytime you end up kissing.
A very good boyfriend, if a bit rowdy at times. Your favorite sound is the happy sigh he makes when you run your hands through his messy hair or scratch his scalp gently with your fingernails.
Afterward, he’ll wrap you in a hug and ask you if you want anything. Something to eat? A bath? A massage?
If you don’t end up dating, he’ll become a great friend, but quite jealous of the time suitors take you away from him. Definitely makes it known if anyone hurts you, they’ll have him to answer to afterward, which is a bit scary for some souls to think about.
Very brave, but fights dirty and unrefined. He uses everything at his disposal and has a passion most of the other souls lack. But because he puts every ounce of effort into battling when you bring him along, he’s usually to the point he’s near exhaustion when you return back.
A surprisingly good cook, considering how he’s lived so far. His dishes are fresh, simple, and really bring out the natural flavors of the food.
