Emalf and Poemi headcannons
(uuuuu not sure if you meant like romantic or platonic headcanons, but since i ship them, i’m gonna go with the shippy route.)
[ ♡ / ♢ ] Emalf x Poemi hcs.
since ivlis is always busy or occupied with other things and people, poemi will bug emalf to spend time with her and pooch instead, as he’s the second closest friend (boyfriend?) she has after her pet. well, not like he can bring himself to say ‘no’ to her anyway. emalf will do various things with her, like bring her to music festivals, making sure to carry her on his shoulders for the best view, go to festivities dressed up in kimonos, or to see some of the demons setting off fireworks in the flame world.
if the events go on for a long time through the night, she’ll probably fall asleep during the late-night show of fireworks with her head resting against his shoulders.
when emalf sees she’s not waking up, thinking it probably isn’t very comfortable, he’ll carry her back to the castle.
poemi has a big sweet tooth, so emalf remembers sneak her some candy and chocolates underneath her pillows or hidden away somewhere easy enough for her to find.
unsurprisingly, emalf spoils her rotten and is very gentle with her.
poemi can be a bit clingy with whoever she ends up taking a liking to, emalf being no exception to this. the latter was confused by this the first time poemi kept bugging him all the time, tugging on his tail or jacket to get him to come along with her, the demands of attention, the small kisses on the cheek whenever he brought her something she liked.
she hasn’t yet become accustomed with bluntly expressing anything other than what she feels on the surface.
lots of teasing between the two of them. emalf will jokingly call her, “princess” but poemi has the upper hand on him in the ability to make emalf flustered and lose his ‘cool guy’ composure in mere seconds.
poemi likes to pull pranks on other demons as well, but emalf in particular is her favorite target. she’ll scribble on his face while he’s asleep or steal his jacket and glasses that are two sizes too big on her for wearing. ...not that they don’t look cute on her, though.
she might accidentally get a little rough with him, like biting him hard enough to draw blood that was meant just as a playful tussle.
poemi loves having emalf carry her to places, especially a piggy-back ride. she’s fortunately light enough that he doesn’t mind too much.
poemi doesn’t know how to ask for a kiss normally, so she hits him in the back of the knees, causing him to double over so she can pull him in for a kiss by tugging at his collar.
she’s too flustered and embarrassed at first to kiss him anywhere except quick pecks on the cheek.
honestly, no one even really suspects the two of them being in a relationship, they just think emalf is a really close big-brother type for her.
