Normally I'm not really into shipping characters (however SasoDei is my guilty pleasure I guess :D) but I really enjoy these relationship questions/headcanons of your and ofc your writings in general! :-) Not sure if you write about Yahiko (still alive) but if you do,can you do a Yahiko X Nagato version of that hc? I love those two^^
I can:
Who’s most likely to confess to the other first?
Yahiko is the confessor. Nagato has been in love with Yahiko for some time but he’s far too shy and self-conscious to try and make something happen between them. Yahiko sensed this and decided to take a chance and make the first move. The payoff was the most heartfelt, romantic kiss of their entire lives. Made Konan cry it was so warm and beautiful.
Who’s the more protective one?
Yahiko. Nagato is mentally tough but somewhat delicate physically, and Yahiko does everything he can to shield him from possible dangers.
Who’s more likely to apologize first after a fight?
Nagato. He always feels like he’s in the wrong no matter what, and he can’t stand bad feelings between himself and the one he loves the most. But Yahiko ((who is more often than not the wrong party in an argument)) also profusely apologizes and makes things up to Nagato with lots of clingy cuddles and cheek-kisses.
Who’s the more affectionate of the two?
Both are very affectionate with each other, but in private. Yahiko wants to be openly affectionate but he knows Nagato is shy and dislikes having attention drawn to him, so he saves most stuff for when they’re alone together.
Who’s most likely to propose?
Yahiko. He’ll plan a really romantic day together but literally everything will go wrong. It’ll pour rain, he’ll lose his wallet, the restaurant will have lost their reservations, a slew of things. At the end of the day he’ll dejectedly pull out a ring and admit what he was trying to do, and apologize for messing things up so badly. But Nagato will throw his arms around him and tell him that today couldn’t have been more wonderful, and he’d be honored to be Yahiko’s husband.
Who’s more likely to plan out date nights?
Nagato, because he’s a better, more organized planner. Yahiko is pretty spontaneous and likes to just go with the flow and take things as they come. Nagato will be the one to pre-scout out restaurants, and check the weather before outdoor activities, things like that.
Who’s most likely to want sex more?
Surprisingly, I think Nagato, he’s always been super self-conscious of his body but when he’s intimate with Yahiko, he’s made to feel beautiful and sensual and really, really good. He becomes addicted to this euphoria, and of being so close to Yahiko, and therefore wants it all the time. But he’s a bit shy about bringing it up or initiating it, so he relies on Yahiko being able to read his body language and lead them into it.
Who is most likely to do the grocery shopping?
They like to go together. Neither one is much of a cook so they always carefully pick things that they can easily make and are reasonably healthy.
When at a restaurant, who is most likely to order dessert?
Nagato. He’s very skinny and Yahiko is constantly (gently) encouraging him to eat more. Most of the time Yahiko will order two desserts, and take maybe two bites of his own before pressing it on to Nagato to finish.
Who is most likely to eat the most in one sitting?
Yahiko by choice, Nagato when Yahiko is encouraging him.
Who is most likely to bring home a stray animal?
Nagato. Dogs are always drawn to him, and it seems like every week he’s bringing home a new stray puppy to become part of their family.
Who is more likely to do housework?
Nagato. He finds cleaning to be very relaxing. Yahiko doesn’t have the patience to do much housework, and because he doesn’t like to make more work or trouble Yahiko he’ll try and be as neat and tidy as possible around their home.
Who is most likely to take the most selfies?
Yahiko. But he takes horrible ones; blurred and unfocused. Nagato has steadier hands and actually takes really amazing pictures in general, but doesn’t like pictures of himself.
Who is most likely to want children?
Both. Nagato often has dreams about the two of them having a little girl with Yahiko’s bright eyes and hair that’s a shade between Nagato’s dark red and Yahiko’s vibrant orange.
Who is most likely to exercise each day?
Yahiko. Mostly cardio.
Who is most likely to make the best coffee in the morning?
Nagato. But he likes his coffee strong, and pure black. Yahiko’s coffee is almost half creamer and no less than 10 sugar packets.
Who is most likely to surprise the other with a gift?
Yahiko takes delight in finding interesting things to take home to Nagato. An interesting flower, seashells, maybe a spectacularly colorful fall leaf. One time a honeycomb he found in a tree hollow.
