What's It's Like to Date Sakata Kintoki
I started to really love the golden boy and will likely make a few one shots soon.
Protective but not controlling: Kintoki isn’t the type to hover over you or suffocate you, but if you’re in trouble, he’ll be there fast. He respects your independence but takes your safety seriously.
Straightforward lover: He’s honest about his feelings. If he likes you, you’ll know. No cryptic games, no hesitation. He doesn’t hide affection, whether that’s a grin, a compliment, or casually tossing an arm around your shoulders.
Loyalty: Once he’s with you, his devotion doesn’t falter. Just like how he backs Buddha up without question, he’ll support you even when you haven’t explained yourself fully.
Spontaneous outings: He’d always invite you out to places with him whether it's to watch him train, patrolling, fighting demons with him, or just anywhere adventurous.
Playful teasing: Expect him to crack jokes, ruffle your hair, or call you out if you’re acting stubborn but always with that big grin of his.
Bring you gifts: Instead of flowers or jewelry, Kintoki’s the type to bring quirky or useful stuff (like Buddha’s candies). For you, it might be your favorite food, or something to remind you of him.
Touchy but casual: He shows love through physical presence with a hand on your back, lifting you up effortlessly, leaning against you because of how he loves closeness. He isn’t shy about public affection either but definitely more touchy in private.
Emotional rock: If you’re anxious or upset, he doesn’t overcomplicate things. He listens, and offers steady reassurance. His presence alone makes you feel secure.
Protective instinct: If someone insults or threatens you, Kintoki won’t hesitate to step in to shield you from anyone.
Definitely the jealous type: If he sees someone flirting with you, he will step in and not stay quiet about it till the other person backs off.
Overprotective streak when in danger: He trusts you with everyday stuff, but if you were heading into real danger, he’d insist on coming with you no matter what you say.
Messy but hearty: His living space might be a little rough around the edges, but he always makes sure you’re comfortable in his own home.
Food-sharing habit: He’ll bring back meals for you or cook together, often insisting you eat the best portion.
Lazy days together: He enjoys sitting outside with you, leaning against a tree or lying on the porch after training, just talking or enjoying the quiet.
Basic summary of dating Kintoki feels like being with your best friend and protector in one. He’s someone who:
Makes you laugh easily.
Stands at your side without hesitation.
Turns ordinary days into warm, memorable adventures.
And that's my interpretation on what it would be like being in a relationship with this big oaf ❤️
