Domestic life with jun/ko after the whole slay-demons-all-over-hyuga thing?? Also, demanding basho's route is bIg moOd--
I won’t rest until I get to hold my stinky poet’s hand, trUST ME
Jun/ko’s only goal is to return to the dojo with the Ronin and live the rest of their lives there, their own happy ever after. They wouldn’t show much concern for the political war going down between the Uesugi and the Takeda either, after all, their only family is the Ronin and Gensai.
They’d want to make up for all the years they spent away from the Ronin or y’know, trying to kill them - but they’re way less i n t e n s e now, so that’s good ! Because they know how important Masa, Tosh, Hatch and etc are to the Ronin, Jun/ko would try to tone down the jealousy and respect their friendship. If the Ronin insists enough, Jun/ko might even apologize to their friends for their previous behaviour (and for literally every interaction before Book 4).
If the Ronin wishes to continue travelling as . . . well, y’know, vagabonds and r o n i n, you can bet that Jun/ko will follow them. They’d probably become a well-known and dangerous couple all across Hyuga, helping people and stuff lolol. But if they decide to stay at the dojo, then it would be like those lonely winters the two spent together as kids. Only with less pressure on becoming an heir and more love and free time to chill and laze around.
Jun/ko definitely wants kids, adopted or not, it doesn’t matter. The Ronin would have to deal with Jun/ko ranting about how they want the perfect kid(s), strong and disciplined so they can teach them all about the way of the sword - but it doesn’t matter who the two end up choosing, Jun/ko is definitely the one who dotes on them the most.
If the Ronin doesn’t want kids - well, I hope they have patience. Jun/ko would continue on pestering them for a long time, trying to convince them to at least adopt a “a couple of idiots to call their own” through various means. But if the Ronin really really really doesn’t want to, Jun/ko will drop the subject (though deep down they’ll still hope the Ronin changes their mind)
As children, the two had their own side of the room and never stepped out of the line. But now ? The two are pretty much glued by the hip - which can be both a curse and a blessing. They cook together, take walks together, pick apples together, sleep together. . . And speaking of sleeping, Jun/ko loves to cuddle and by cuddle I mean holding the Ronin with a deadly fucking grip, never letting go until they wake up. And that’s fine in winter because they’re known to be super warm - but summers are absolute H E L L.
Jun/ko often has flashbacks and nightmares about the past - to be specific, about returning to their old lives and habits, something that scares them to death. Whenever this happens, they’ll stay awake all night, holding onto the Ronin’s hand for reassurance. They’ll only wake up the Ronin if the nightmare was specially unpleasant and bury their head on their chest. But this a l s o goes the other way around !
Even though the two still argue pretty often, they also talk things out way more than before ! Communication is key, even if it’s super difficult for both of them to express their most complx thoughts and feelings honestly.
