Josuke loves showing affection through his words and physical touch! Most days, he'll show up at your door to walk you to school. He'll give you a kiss on the cheek and a "You look beautiful today!"
B reakup - How do they cope with splitting?
Being the "true love kind of guy," Josuke will most likely date someone he already likes/loves. If he gets into a breakup, he's devastated. Was he not good enough? Maybe he took some jokes too far? He'll spend the next few weeks reflecting on himself and what could've gone wrong.
C uddles - What is cuddling like with them?
He doesn't care if he's the smaller or bigger spoon: as long as he gets to be attached to you, he's satisfied! His favourite position is when one of you lays a head on the other's shoulder with one leg on top. Something like this.
D ates - What are dates like?
Josuke's seen his fair share of romance movies so he loves going to the typical locations: movie theaters, diners, or small cafes.
E qual - Are they submissive, dominant, or neutral?
Josuke is neutral. Sometimes he gets protective of you, but he doesn't take an assertive role in the relationship.
F uture - What kind of future do they want with their s/o?
I think Josuke's a really carefree guy-- he prefers to live in the moment and not worry about the future. Though, he does occasionally daydream about moving in with you when he's older.
G orgeous - Favourite physical feature of their partner?
Josuke finds your lips enchanting. Your lips are the ones that are responsible for saying sweet words and all those kisses-- he just loves them so much. You might catch him staring at them while you're speaking.
H olding Hands - Do they like it? If so, how do they hold hands?
F U C K Y E A H. HOLDING HANDS. He loves it so much, especially when you're the first one to grab his hand. His favourites are when all your fingers are weaved with each other or when you're just holding onto a singular finger.
I llogical - Will they go to extreme lengths for their s/o?
He cares for his s/o as much as he does with his hair. If someone insults you-- oh boy. Besides beating up people, Josuke will use himself as a stepping stool (within reason) to help you achieve your goals. Giving answers to tests, giving you his lunch if you forget yours, etc.
J ealousy - How jealous do they get?
Josuke started dating you because he trusted you so much. He's not scared of you cheating, he's more concerned about what other people may do. If someone flirts with you, he'll approach them playfully like, "Aha... I'm actually their boyfriend." If that person fails to get the memo, he'll put up an intimidating front and scare em a bit.
K iss - Are they good at it? What was the first kiss like?
Josuke's first kiss with you wasn't something too steamy. He wants to make it romantic! He'll plan everything ahead of time to make it the perfect first kiss. Other than that, kisses with him aren't anything dirty-- they're short but sweet.
L ove Confession - How would they confess their love?
This guy is cheesy. He'd ask to hang out with you at a place of your choosing as a not-so-obvious date. After that, he'd walk you to where the two of you first met and then confess. He probably wrote some lines to say beforehand but ditches them last-minute and says whatever comes to his mind.
M emory - Favourite memory with their s/o?
It's extremely hard for him to choose a specific memory that's his favourite, but the most significant memory is probably the moment he realized he liked you. You were both sitting together eating lunch, laughing. The pure joy that you showed just from Josuke telling a few jokes helped him understand how much you meant to him.
N o - What is their dealbreaker?
Josuke's a friendly guy with a compassionate heart. He wouldn't want to date someone who's selfish or lacks morals.
O bvious - Are they clear about their attraction? Do others know?
He can insist others that the two of you are just really close friends, but his crush on you is made quite obvious to strangers. He asks for your insight on many things, tries to get your attention often, and always waits for your response after he makes a joke.
P DA - Do they show off their s/o or shy away from public affection?
Josuke wouldn't be extremely touchy that often. Nothing more than hand-holding and cheek kisses in public. But to friends and family, he'll boast about how great you are. If you have any talents/hobbies you exceed at, he will not shut up about it.
Q uirk - Are there any weird habits in the relationships?
The two of you have a habit of sharing anything and everything. Sometimes the two of you share food without even communicating; Josuke might take a bite out of a sandwich and subconsciously hand it to you to take a bite as well.
R omance - Is the relationship more romantic or friendly?
A relationship with him would be more of a "best friends that happen to be lovers" kind of thing, but Josuke will bring out his romantic side every now and then. This can be for dates, birthdays, or holidays.
S poiled - Do they spoil their s/o?
Yup. He offers to pay for dates, meals, practically anything when you're together. It gets to the point where you intervene and pay for yourself so he won't get yelled at by his mom for going broke.
T rust- How honest are they with their s/o?
He's extremely honest. The two of you are practically best friends so he doesn't see a reason to hide anything from you.
U pset - How do they react when they're in an argument?
He isn't one to hold grudges for long. After a fight, you may be quiet or awkward for a bit but will return to normal shortly after. Once the mood's cleared, you'd both apologize to each other.
V alue - How important is their relationship? Is it a priority?
Yes! Josuke's top priorities in life are probably his friends, family, and you. Seeing when he and Okuyasu won the lottery, Okuyasu's first reaction was to put it in savings while Josuke wanted to spend it on luxurious goods. What I'm saying is: Josuke enjoys spur-of-the-moment happiness. He'll do things that make the two of you happy even if there might be some consequences in the future.
W ild card - A random fluff headcanon.
If your shoes ever happened to be untied, he'll silently fix them up for you without hesitation and continue your conversation as if nothing happened.
X ray - Are they easy to read?
He's pretty easy to read. Since his personality is the louder type, you'll know something's wrong if he's quieted down.
Y earn - How do they cope when their s/o is not there?
It won't affect him too majorly because he could always hang out with Okuyasu or Koichi, but he still wishes he had your company.
Z zzz - How is sleeping like with them?
This might sound a bit vague, but he definitely sleeps like a dad. He'll try his best to position himself in a way where he won't be squashed on top of you, but it's useless by the time you wake up at 4:00 AM with his leg on top of yours. And oh god the snoring. What is this guy eating to make those inhuman noises?
