Thank you for the request. This is also not my otp but interesting enough to think about. Headcannons of Chojiand Ino as a couple
Both of these characters are inherently caringand considerate to others. They would make for a good match, but the physical attractionwould be lacking for Ino. Ino’s type is typically tall, dark, and handsome.This does not mean she finds Choji ugly, but she’s not attracted to him at thestart.
Attraction can grow through proximity andintimacy. Being on the same team helps Ino’s attraction to Choji grow. Theolder she gets, the more she can see how caring, thoughtful, and strong Chojiis. She admires him for being true to himself that he can be compassionate yetpowerful.
Ino knows Choji would be good to her. He wouldnever cheat or lie to her. Choji doesn’t pretend to be anyone else. He is openand honest with her. He’s there for her on good days and bad days. He listensto her without interruption and lends her a shoulder to cry on if need be.
Choji thinks Ino is pretty but he also struggleswith attraction. He thinks Ino is sometimes way too skinny. He grows concern forher or even annoyed in the relationship with how little she eats or when shegoes on diets. He thinks she’s perfect the way she is, but it wouldn’t hurt forher to gain a few pounds.
Weight plays a big part in their arguments orannoyance with each other. Choji likes to eat and has to eat for his jutsu. Inocan understand that he needs to eat a lot for his jutsu and can accept it, butshe still can be rather embarrassed easily when they’re out eating in public. Mostlybecause she is self-conscious of what others will think of her boyfriend andher. She becomes paranoid and can hear the waitresses snickering over it.
This in turn would make Choji feel self-consciousif he senses Ino is embarrassed to be with him. Choji doesn’t have greatconfidence in the first place and he can easily become unhappy in therelationship if Ino doesn’t learn how to shut out others. He’ll have to ask atsome point why Ino cares so much what everyone thinks.
Ino also doesn’t like to eat out too much. She enjoysgoing out and wearing a new outfit but eating fast food practically every daywould be unhealthy. However, Ino doesn’t cook so it would be up to Choji tolearn how. Otherwise, Ino might only make salads, soups, and sandwiches fordinner.
Choji doesn’t take charge much in therelationship but he goes out of his way for Ino. He will get off work early ifshe becomes ill and will take care of her. He brings her soup and brings heranything she needs. When she’s not sick, Choji brings home flowers to herrandomly and offers to rub her shoulders when she’s relaxing.
Overall, these two can work out as long as Inodoesn’t try to change Choji and appreciates him for who he is. Choji will stickby Ino, because he cares deeply for her and as long as she’s not embarrassed tobe around him, he will stay happily in the relationship.
