"Hewkii was an athlete, he lived for competition. Where was the sport in winning a battle only because he had a Mask of Power and Gadunka didn't?" --Narrator, Downfall

Occupation: Champion kolhii player of Po-Koro / Right hand of Onewa Kanohi: Kakama Status: Transformed into a Toa Inika Pronunciation: HOO-kee

Hewkii (formerly Huki) is the Toa Mahri of Stone and the former Toa Inika of Stone. Huki began life as an athletic and cheerful Po-Matoran from Metru Nui. Huki later served as Onewa's right hand on the island of Mata Nui, where his valor during the Bohrok Invasion earned him the new name Hewkii. During a rescue mission to Voya Nui, Hewkii and five other Matoran transformed into the Toa Mahri. As a Toa, Hewkii is his team's deputy leader under Jaller.

Huki (Diminished)

Hewkii (formerly Huki) is the Toa Mahri of Stone and the former Toa Inika of Stone. Huki began life as an athletic and cheerful Po-Matoran from Metru Nui.

Here I begin the '01 Matoran (AKA Mctoran), while working on the '03 Matoran (MoLtoran) in the background. Funny business. Also, for the background of the Mctoran, I couldn't find other versions than the one shown here, so they'll probably look a bit too similar, I guess. Sorry if that's a problem. Reference pic below;

16 and 17 for Tocchix and Huki? 👀

Non-wholesome Romantic Asks 🖤

16. How much do they actually trust each other? Was their trust ever broken? Can it be mended? 17. Is there a secret that they don't dare tell the other? Why? Will they ever say it?

Answering these together because they're pretty much one and the same.

Huki is the first person Tocchix learned to fully trust after Iotta, and getting there meant going through all of the onion of issues that sprouted from her betrayal.

At first Huki was just a friendly coworker of Taimi, one who Tocchix found nice to be around during the months he had to regularly go to her lab for a particular mission, but then that started to change after that mission concluded. The mission itself went as well as it could, but Tocchix "lagged behind" a bit in the aftermath due to personal issues, and that led to Huki being accidentally involved when they walked in on Tocchix all muddied and bloodied. After the initial startle, their immediate response was to go grab medical supplies and come back to deal with his minor wounds (spending a year in Rata Novus taught them some stuff), trusting that a friend of Taimi would have a good reason to end up like that. The overall nice conversation ended up helping Tocchix calm down and, while he missed all of the flirting, he felt all of the ways about someone blindly trusting of him out of all people (misplaced blame for things out of his control). Luckily, his next mission was to keep an eye for aftershocks at the lab, and he felt like he could consider Huki an actual friend, especially as they didn't seem phased by what happened.

Fast forward to their first date, it's an emotional rollercoaster (positive) and he ends up spending the night at their small apartment, at first sleeping separated before caving in and crawling into the bed with them (just to cuddle, they were taking things slow). Then Tocchix has one of his really bad nightmares. Huki tries to comfort him, makes it worse before they make it better, and when they ask what happened to cause such nightmares, Tocchix just... spills all of the beans. Things he never dared mention to anyone for years out of paranoia of not being trusted anymore by the Whispers, like the way he felt about certain events tied to Iotta and how he still felt about her after everything that happened. However, with Huki all of that just comes out like nothing, and he even manages to fall back asleep. The morning after Tocchix is fully convinced he messed up big time, but instead Huki just gets him to open up more and even helps him see things from a different point of view. After that, Tocchix fully trusts Huki with everything, "ugly parts of himself" included. The only thing he initially keeps a "secret" from them is that he loves them, but that's just because he can't get himself to say it for a while as he's still working through all of the bad emotions.

Obviously, being Whispers and all, there are secret things Huki can't know, but it's rarely stuff relevant to them and they're okay with that.

Forever angy that I can't make Huki in-game. They're as NPC as it gets: not a fighter, not of any particular class, unique hairstyle and clothing that I can't replicate in game, doesn't even ever adventure 😔

Q, 9, and 23 for Tocchix/Lotta AND Tocchix/Huki :3c

@mystery-salad

otp question meme

I'm gonna assume Q is 1, and I'm gonna answer together since they also get the bonus of being a pod in all AUs where Iotta survives :D

1. Who is the most affectionate?

Tocchix is the most outwardly affectionate in both cases, though he gets to be openly affectionate only with Huki due to his relationship with Iotta being a secret.

That said, while from an outsider point of view Iotta seemed on the verge of killing him most of the time, she was surprisingly affectionate, proportionately even more than him going by her standards. Even before they got together, he was the only one she let in her space and accepted as a team partner, allegedly because "she had trained him to her liking and it'd be a waste to switch partners", but objectively because he did his best to get along with her and eventually she liked having him around. After getting together with him "for her own reasons", she found herself a bit too taken by the relationship, and being extremely sweet to him in private was something she enjoyed far too much, going as far as stealing private moments with him whenever possible as a sort of game.

As for Huki, they thought they were the one being too affectionate in previous relationships, but they were pleasantly surprised when the awkward and reserved guy they had been crushing on for months turned out to be the biggest cuddler in existence, with years-worth of affection backlog ready to be unleashed.

In the AUs, Iotta becomes far more affectionate than she ever allowed herself to be (how much and how fast depends on the AU), and eventually always extends some of that to Huki, though only platonically on her part.

9. Who worries the most?

With Iotta, Tocchix was again the one who openly worried the most, especially during missions (it was the one safe way to show "affection"). Sure, she could handle herself better than he could between magic and minions, but he never thought twice about jumping into danger to save her from as much as a scratch. On her part, Iotta despised that kind of behavior because "any bruise or scratch would weigh on their performance" (as an undercover Inquest spy, she was paranoid about potential consequences if people under her responsibility got hurt) and she often would expend her own life force to fix his wounds even when not necessary. Additionally, even long before they dated, Tocchix had learned to read through the lines of her angry remarks and gratuitous scolding, so he had a pretty good grasp of when she was actually worried. To this day, he fondly remembers how often that happened.

With Huki, Tocchix worried on overdrive for the first year or so of their relationship, much to Huki's amused annoyance. It took a few "minor relapses" to go exactly as Huki had said (regular treatment for their condition usually keeps them stable, but on occasions their metabolism goes faster than expected and crashes, so they need to anticipate it) before he calmed down, but the fact they are still so frail never stops worrying him. On the flipside, Huki does worry whenever Tocchix is on dangerous missions, but they agree that it's a more understandable type of worry.

Again, Iotta becomes more or less the worrywart towards Tocchix in most of the AUs (exact reasons and flavor depends on the AU), and later also get noticeably unnerved by Huki's overall frailty, though never as much as Tocchix does.

-

23. Who comes up with cheesy pick up lines?

Tocchix attempted to say cheesy things and petnames at the very start of the relationship, but Iotta immediately shot down any attempt, finding them cringy at best and not wanting to hear more of them. Sure, there was also a strongly-ignored factor of "not knowing how to respond", but she'd never admit that or the fact that at least one braincell of hers wholeheartedly giggled and blushed at them.

The start of the relationship with Huki is very awkward and a bit of a leap of faith for Tocchix, and after not being allowed to say them it takes him a while before attempting to come up with any. Huki knew that and respected the pace he set at all points of the relationship, but never shied away from saying cheesy things every now and then. Eventually they both end up being so cheesy they're a real danger for the lactose-intolerant.

1, 5, and 9 for Tocchix and Huki! @ratasum

🌙 * ―　silly little unique trivia about your otp．❫

1. who fell first, and who fell harder?

Huki fell first, while Tocchix took his time and then pretty much fell from orbit.

Huki's crush for Tocchix was almost instantaneous: a cute friend of Taimi comes to the krewe's lab to deliver some secret Pact stuff, nicely offers to help you with errands around town while he waits for preliminary results to bring back, and saves you from an interaction with your shitty ex by using his awesome magic? Well, I mean, a crush is almost mandatory, especially since he keeps coming back and being nice and fun to be around 👉👈

Tocchix was dealing with his own bs at the time, so he was painfully oblivious to all the pretty clear signs of interest they gave him for months, as well as absolutely taken by surprise when they finally spelled it out for him. It took him a 2-3 more months to feel confident about asking them out, and then 4 more months of dating (and a pretty terrifying close-call) to admit (mostly to himself) he loved them. After that he gets to move in with them by chance, and he brings out all of the best-husband material ✨

-

5. who's the ‘good old-fashioned lover boy’, and who's the ‘killer-queen’?

Tocchix falls in the "good old-fashioned lover boy" category, and while Huki has a more casual view on intimacy, neither of them even comes close to being a "killer-queen".

-

9. soulmates by fate/chance or by choice?

After they randomly found out that Huki was one of the last patients visited by Tocchix's mother before she died, they both feel like it's by fate the Eternal Alchemy. By that point Tocchix had literally just gotten over his biggest issues about going into a relationship again, so that felt like a clear sign that it was okay for him to be happy with Huki.

[Definitely by fate, since in all AUs they end up together. Iotta and Poffi are also Tocchix's soulmates, but Huki is the only one who always gets the happy ending since they don't do dangerous stuff nor take bad decisions lol]
