This past week and half it’s been all “I Live And Breath KiTet” hours. I even created a new social media account to gush about them. Anyway, here’s a general, non-shippy headcanon:

Despite being a normal human being, Tetora is the one who ends up helping Kija get better in physical combat. One time during a fight the group got caught up in, Tetora saw how recklessly he aimed for his opponents and how much force he used in doing so. He was, once again, the most injured and exhausted member of the party. At first he didn't accept her offer to give him tips on fighting close range, but seeing her take on a few bandits all by herself made him rethink that.

She has him practice regular martial arts stances and punches with his dragon hand at "rest". When they find themselves in more fights, she has to yell to remind him to try out his punches and slashes with his dragon hand, again, at "rest". He's so used to just blowing it up to wipe everybody away that it's difficult the first few times. But once he gets the hang of it, he's able to fight and keep his stamina up.

Kija first falling for Tetora when he sees her punch a wall in response to someone threatening her master, 'cause that's his jam.

Knowing she’s still not fully recovered from her previous injury and just giving everything she has to make a point with a single punch.

KiTet’s gotta have the cheesiest canon tease intro I can possibly imagine. Especially considering we know how silly and cute Kija can be. 

Apparently he’s got a casual suave face going on too, but it’s KIJA.

KiTet, if you still want asks for the ship meme?

noice

1. My take on their canon relationship: There’s not a whole lot. The only interaction they’ve had one-on-one is when he told her to watch Yona and Lili while he and the others investigated the screams, out of concern for her gut wound that was still healing. Tetora was obviously really touched by this concern, and it was so cute??? However, Tetora may be under the impression after measuring Suwon that it may not be the wisest thing to be best allies with Yona’s group. During the exchange in which Kija revealed he was Hakuryuu serving Hiryuu, Tetora seemed to be taking in various feelings like concern, confusion, and in the end she gave a farewell bow, as if to silently thank him for all that he (and the rest of the group) did. I would like to see what Tetora has to say about the legend now that she knows the warriors are real, just as I would like to see what Kija has to say about her, Ayura, and Lili’s “new connection” with Suwon. 

2. Do I ship them: Yes

3. Reasons why I do/don’t ship them: So when the first interaction happened, I had an instant knee-jerk “NOOOO” reaction. I was neck-deep in other ships for them, but in the end I am a multi-shipper and it got to me the more I thought about it. Kija shows a serious, chivalrous side of himself to her that he hasn’t shown very much, on top of just being really honest as he always is. Meanwhile, Tetora is all googly eyes over any guy she deems handsome, but it’s not like she’s given anybody THAT look. In imagining their compatibility, I think they’d make a good matching combat pair since they’re both hands-on fighters. I think Tetora could teach Kija some more specialized techniques because right now all he has to do is grow his hand and demolish stuff, but I think he could fine tune that. Overall, I imagine a strong and compassionate person with a strong and smart person and despite how sensual Tetora seems I think they’d…be the most vanilla thing ever but THAT’S MY JAM. 

4. Headcanon, if any: Headcanon that Tetora totally wants to touch that hand, too. 

5. How much do I ship (%): 95%

KiTet Visiting Each Other’s Homes:

- Tetora came from the slums of Suiko and has a really close-knit group of women who she calls family. Each and every one judges Kija but they see how considerate he is for Tetora. They also see his fucking giant lizard hand and know if she ever runs into trouble, he’ll be there to back her up. 

- The first time Kija brings Tetora to his village, she is immediately taken to the dressing rooms and given the default Hakuryuu Village uniform. Granny makes the upfront comment that she has great hips. Everybody’s practically oogling and worshiping her. Both of them end up really embarrassed, but the subsequent visits aren’t all that bad until Granny starts wondering when they’ll get married and start having kids.

Of course my first KiTet is imagining Kija freaking out over her being in labor for So Many Reasons. 

[sorasan000]

The thing about KiTet that’s making it hard for me to really do anything with them is that each one has really high dedication to another person. Kija’s already decided he will live and die for Yona and probably doesn’t have plans to make room for another special someone. Tetora is now safeguarding an exiled girl who likes to get in over her head. They’re in different groups, and right now Tetora’s probably in the mindset that they’re on “opposing sides”, if not “at odds” with one another.

favorite au ideas for NeguKou and/or what kind of dates would KiTet go on?

Favorite AU ideas for NeguKou:

Ones where Neguro isn’t dead, lmao  I’m always chill with a modern AU as long as it isn’t an organized crime AU. Also, AU where they have the silliest rivalry with Suwon and Judo. I’m still not over that bicycle vs motorcycle post. 

KiTet: What kind of dates would they go on?

At first they’ll go and do whatever Tetora wants to do because Kija never had any expectations when it came to relationships. So they probably go on shopping dates and dining dates. Especially dining dates. Tetora shows him all the specialties and cuisine twists that Water has to offer. Kija gets the idea of sharing traditional food from his village with her when they run into a Hakuryuu Village spy and he’s like, QUICK, GIVE ME AN IDEA FOR ONE OUR MEALS.

When Tetora opens up about wanting to do more things he enjoys, he’s really cliche and just says he wants to be close and spend time together. It isn’t until a little later on that she gets context for that–in that he’s a dragon warrior and that whole short lifespan thing mixed with that lifeguard duty thing? She gives him all that and more with cuddles. He eventually admits that he loves watching live performances of plays and dances and they go and watch more of those when they can find them.
