[ MATCHMAKING... ]
@mrshesh : [ MATCH REPORT READY ]
✧ BLUE LOCK
YOUR MATCH IS…
✧ KUNIGAMI RENSUKE
— FIRST MEETING -> Where did you two first meet? At the gym, of course. Even before joining Blue Lock, Kunigami was very dedicated to working out and training. He’s fond of jogging around his neighborhood and has some basic workout equipment at home, but if he wants to use any large equipment or jog indoors on winter days that are just a bit too cold? You’ll find him at the gym! Perhaps you recently moved to Akita, or perhaps you’re just trying out a different gym—in any case, you first lay eyes on Kunigami there. Initially, the two of you just share brief, impersonal glances as one of you passes by the other; you’re both focused on your respective workouts, after all. But then your gaze starts lingering on him when he isn’t looking, and you swear you’ve almost caught him staring at you sometimes as well.
Social as you tend to be, you’re the one that approaches him first since you two seem to run into each other so often. It’d be nice to have a workout buddy! Kunigami can be a little awkward around strangers, but he’s not necessarily unfriendly. A friendship blooms quite naturally between you two, even if conversations are just a little stilted at first. He wouldn’t take offense if you were feeling drained and didn’t text back or feel like hanging out, though he might start wondering if he did something wrong. Poor guy.
— PARTNER PREFERENCES -> He’s a good fit for what you look for in a partner. You mention loving gymbros considering you’re a gymrat yourself, and you’d ideally want to be with someone who can share that passion with you. Honestly, Kunigami would do best with someone like that himself. It’s just such a big part of his life that he would need to be with someone that can respect the amount of time he puts into exercising at the very least, but he’d love a partner who can work out with him! So, you two are definitely a match made in heaven in that regard. He’s also tall and has a great physique, which you’ll definitely appreciate. Other than that, Kunigami is fairly easy-going and can handle both banter and more serious moments.
— PINING -> It doesn’t take long at all for Kunigami to start developing a crush on you. You’re such a genuine and warm person, always making it a point to treat people with kindness and respect and to stand up for those being mistreated, funny but emotionally intelligent… Plus the fact that he finds your optimism and love for life endearing. He’d be hard-pressed to find something to dislike about you. Kunigami is able to keep his budding feelings under wrap pretty well, though he absolutely has moments where he becomes flustered if you do something especially cute or sweet around him. He pines for you for quite a while without confessing, since he would really rather not rush into any potential relationships.
— APPETITE -> Kunigami is sweet and would never make you feel bad about your appetite. You’re obviously pretty darn healthy, given the fact that you’re so physically active. With as much as you work out, it only makes sense that you’re eating a lot. Besides, he finds people who really enjoy food to be rather endearing. (It’s not like he can say anything against a big appetite anyway, considering he’s a big eater as well). He’d love accompanying you to whatever new restaurant you want to try, and is happy to stay in and help cook a meal with you at home. Many of your dates involve food to some degree or another, even unintentionally. There are so many times where you two are just out and about elsewhere and one of you suggests “hey, let’s stop at that café!”
— SENSE OF JUSTICE -> Your strong sense of justice would appeal to him. Kunigami is someone with a strong set of morals and sense of justice himself, seen time and again in the way he insists on playing fair and giving some people the benefit of the doubt when others wouldn’t (i.e. Kuon). The bottom line is, basic respect and kindness are very important to him, and he tends to struggle with being around those who are unnecessarily mean and cold. He can’t see himself being with someone who doesn’t put effort into treating him and others well.
— POST-WILDCARD -> While there is a definite change to him post-Wildcard, Kunigami is still Kunigami. Compared to before, he’s now more withdrawn and sullen, with his focus solely being on becoming stronger, better, more skilled. He looks like all the joy has been sucked out of him… and maybe it has. Assuming you’re on the outside when he’s stuck in Blue Lock, you’re probably not going to see or hear from him until they all get that break prior to the NEL starting. Still, perhaps surprisingly given this shift in his demeanor, he does message you while on the bus back home and is willing to meet up with you. He’s… not really sure how you’ll react to how he’s changed, but decides not to think about it too much until he sees you. Honestly, he’s half-expecting a breakup and doesn’t want to get his hopes up too much because right now, he can’t see himself suddenly just acting like he used to before he went through the Wildcard program.
You noticed something might be up while he was texting you. His responses seemed a little shorter than before, but you figure maybe it’s just because he’s tired and it’s been a while since you two have even talked because of the nature of the entire Blue Lock program.
And when he eventually shows up in front of you… You are a little surprised, certainly, but your heart aches for him. Kunigami won’t tell you everything he went through—he shares some things, more general stuff about the overall structure of the program, but you can’t really glean anything that might’ve happened to cause such a distinct shift in him. All he says is that he “had to learn to be different” in order to succeed and achieve whatever it is that he wants to achieve related to Blue Lock. Regardless, though, you’re the type of person to give others the benefit of the doubt. You know he won’t admit it, but you can tell he’s struggling a little, and you’re not just going to abandon him when he might actually really need you. You can tell that he’s still him beneath that colder exterior.
✦ ADDITIONAL HEADCANONS ->
He finds your sense of style to be really unique, and pretty darn cute. He is fascinated by your piercings, and whenever you get a new one he’s really good at reminding you to do the aftercare.
Video game dates are fairly common, and he likes seeing whatever you get up to in any games that aren’t multiplayer.
You just love making him laugh, especially when you can manage to get those belly-deep guffaws out of him.
Both of you would understand the middle child struggles. It’s also very hectic whenever one of you goes to visit the other’s family, but it’s funny because you’re both obviously very used to having sisters. On a similar note, his parents absolutely adore you to bits and they easily welcome you into the family.
He’s extremely interested in your participation in drama/theatre! Any time you have a show, he’ll be there. Honestly, a lot of it is new to him, because it wasn’t an area that he was ever interested in—but he’s absolutely going to take an interest in it now, because it’s important to you.
One of Kunigami’s favorite places to kiss is that little mole by your lip.
✦ OTHER CONSIDERATIONS -> Bachira Meguru, Yukimiya Kenyu
