what kind of dates do ur otps go on??
Ooh yay! Okay, I’ve never really thought about this or done anything like this before but I’ll give it a go! :D
EdgeJeanist:
Well, since they are both top heroes and therefore obviously popular, I’d like to think that they’d probably want to keep their private lives or relationships away from the public - especially Edgeshot - so I think that they wouldn’t really reveal their relationship, or at least not for quite a while. So the only ones who know are essentially other heroes and anyone they’re closest with.
That being said, they probably didn’t go on many dates when they first got together but when they did, I think it would be your typical little coffee date - fully disguised in their normal outfits - just chatting and catching up from the last time they’ve seen each other. Somehow no-one recognises them so they realise that it kinda works and decide that maybe going on short walks through the city or joining the other on their patrols when they’re around the area was their way of “going on dates”.
As their relationship progresses, I think that they’d often go on walks through more quiet, secluded areas and do sort of weekly visits to Shinya’s old village (this would make more sense if I could actually finish writing the story that I’m working on for him) as a peaceful way of just enjoying their time together.
But they’d still go on their little “Coffee Catch-up Dates” because who doesn’t like those.
They’re also both massive workaholics and so would probably consider any sort of fight/case where they are even just working together, a “date”.
Further on in their relationship, when they start to live together, they’d probably also just stay at home on their minimal amount of days off and watch movies, bake cookies/cook together or do anything fun that doesn’t take much effort, and end the day just cuddled up on the couch where one of them falls asleep and the other just silently turns off the movie and joins them in a very much needed rest.
I do have quite a few relationship headcanons for these two that I love coming up with, so please, anyone, do let me know if you’d like me to post them as well!

These two are definitely your very typical “sweet old married couple” and my brain just won’t tell me anything other than that. They dated since high school and made their relationship public basically straight away when they first became ever-so-slightly popular as heroes and did not hesitate to bring it up in any interviews or events. At first, others were a little worried that it would damage their public ranks but they didn’t really care all too much. This basically meant that people did recognise them when they’re out together but it never was much of a big deal to them.
When they first got together, their ideal dates would probably have just been a trip to the cinema or local bakery and then staying over at each other's houses.
As time progressed, they became quite busy with hero work and therefore didn’t have much time to go out on dates really but when they did it was often a trip to a local restaurant or cafe.
Most of the time they’ll stay at home on their days off and just sleep off the stress of being both hero and teacher - spending time with family.
However, they do have a yearly trip to a particular place at a certain time of the year, high up in a mountain lodge (with snow and all that beautiful scenery). This is a place where they used to visit with their friends and family as a big group and holds a special place in their hearts - and is quite the romantic spot too ;)
It’s basically their typical holiday destination and, though it started off with just the two of them, now it’s more an annual family trip with their close friends and even with the other teachers tagging along in the holidays.
But their ideal dates would be anything where they can be together and enjoy their time off as the happy lil’ couple they are.
I do have more headcanons for these two as well and I have an entire backstory for them but I can’t summarise things to save my life so if I were to post it, it would turn out more like a massive jumble of words. Although, if anyone would actually be happy to read that then let me know and I would be more than happy to write it out! :D
Thank you so much for asking me this, it actually made me very happy and was a bunch of fun to write.
