Hi! I Like your headcanons about the Sand family( and team Shinki) and I was wondering if you have any headcanons about team shinki's relationship with Chocho and Inojin. Thank you for your answer!
sure do! they’re all p close since the kids and shikadai are cousins, so they always hang out together whenever one group visits the other’s village, but more specifically:
inojin
gets on well with yodo since they’re both little shits who don’t have anything even resembling a filter, that does lead to arguments sometimes but they’ve got a healthy respect for each other and they’re both really hard to offend, so usually it’s just in that “you’re a bitch” “lol ikr” kinda way, yodo tends to get him in trouble though bc she’s always dragging him into her pranks
him and shinki are a little awkward around each other, since neither one’s great at social interaction and they’re both a lil quiet and distant, but they’re happy to just be around each other and not talk
araya lowkey idolises inojin (not as much as he does shika but p close) ino’s kiiinda uncertain around him at first, since when aya likes someone he can be pretty clingy and loud, and made a few insensitive comments about aya’s appearance at first, but after yodo’s subsequent Talk with him, he came to appreciate how sweet and positive he is and they’re both really into arty stuff so they spend a lot of time talking about that and working on projects together
chouchou
p sure everyone knows about my Deep Unabiding Love for yodochou at this point but yeah i hc that cho has been crushing on yodo since basically the second they met, she’s absolutely convinced that yodo is the single coolest person on the planet and whenever she’s around she’ll basically ignore everyone else. yodo doesn’t have her gay epiphany until her late teens, but even before then she considers cho her best friend outside of her bros, she loves how chill and funny she is and they’re always getting into trouble together, just.... yodochou man.............
she thinks shinki is a bit weird at first, even creepy, but since he’s yodo and aya’s bro she makes an effort to be friendly, it doesn’t always work out bc shin can be a pretentious brat at the best of times, but once they spend more time together they work things out, she does think he’s kinda cool and she’ll sometimes ask to train with him to pick up strategy tips, on shin’s part he thinks that although she can be a bit annoying, his sis is clearly very fond of her and that can only be a good thing (they also like to talk Fashion, even if their styles are quite different)
cho thinks that aya is just the sweetest thing and loves hanging out with him, they get along really well chatting and playing games and doing each other’s hair and makeup, aya is actually the first person to work out cho’s feelings for yodo and he offers to be her wingman/shoulder to moan on when his sis is being an oblivious idiot, she returns the favour by listening to him gush about his various crushes
