🤍 for your favorite ship, Pine! As many points as you want.
Hey Shy! I'm afraid my fave ship isn't one from a fandom you know but i'll go for it anyway! Thank you for sending the ask, I love doing these <3 <3 <3
This is gonna be for Matoba Seiji/Natsume Takashi, from Natsume's Book of Friends!
Who cooks meals for the other?
Matoba cooks at first, just because he likes to spoil Natsume, but once he gets Natsume to live with him, he lets the chef cook~ Every so often on birthdays and minor holidays, Natsume will cook, just because such a personal gesture always makes Matoba melt like goo from the love.
Who spams the other with memes?
Natsume doesn't know what a meme is, he thinks the funny pictures Matoba sends him are ones he took and made himself. Like a mom.
Who likes to tidy around the house?
Natsume does, leftover anxiety from his rough past with parents and parental figures. He thinks, on some level, that if he cleans, Matoba won't think he's a burden and abandon him. Once he moves into the Matoba compound, everything is done for him by maids and shiki, so he gets in a lil bit of a tiff over it, but Matoba is sure to calm him down~ Can't have the wifey worrying!
Who likes to play pranks on the other?
Matoba does, but that's just his twisted sense of humor coming out. Natsume is just a big ball of anxiety when it comes to their relationship so he doesn't dare for a long time, but when he does Matoba finds them adorable. When they're a bit older, Natsume likes to poke fun at their age gap (which i headcanon as bigger because why not :p) by buying him a "Sex After 40" book that just has blank pages inside 😭that just prompts Matoba to prove him wrong, (un)fortunately.
Who asked the other to move in with them?
Matoba asked. Natsume, when they started dating, would have never had the courage in a million years, so Matoba just kind of kidnapped him and said "this is your home now, go to school, come back before midnight". He tried to make it as clear as possible that he wouldn't let Natsume leave even if he sincerely wanted to and didn't just want to flee out of anxiety, but also that Natsume didn't need to answer to him if he wanted to go out somewhere or do something.
(as you may have noticed, I like my relationships a lil... spicy. But you have my discord lol, you already knew)
Who is in charge of the music during a car ride?
Natsume. Matoba likes certain music but he prefers to chat in the car, so he lets Natsume pic. When Natsume finally hears his music taste, he nearly has a heart attack from the shock- who knew that the scion of the Matoba clan would like rap?
Who is more likely to tickle the other mercilessly?
Matoba. He likes to touch Natsume, and he loves the uncontrollable laughter, so he does it whenever they're both in a good mood. Natsume has tried on occasion, but Matoba is unflappable.
Who needs to hold the other during scary movies?
Matoba needs to comfort Natsume lol. The both of them don't like horror in the first place- enough of that irl for the both of them- but Matoba is at the stage where nothing phases him at all, whereas Natsume is still getting his emotional bearings with dealing in the supernatural.
Who has to help the other when it comes to technology?
Matoba has to help Natsume. He's had the best of the best since he was a kid, and Natsume didn't even have a phone until the Fujiwara's gave one to him, so he's a little clueless. Matoba never minds though~ He loves taking on a caretaker role for Natsume, no matter how much it embarrasses him.
Who likes to get a bit frisky in public / an inappropriate setting?
Natsume can't stand it, so Matoba 100%. Lil kissy here, lil grope there, just enough to keep Natsume on his toes so he'll be all pouty. Matoba never does anything but put a protective arm around Natsume in public though- he never wants anyone to see his precious little gem the way Matoba has the privilege to.
Who wakes up first, and do they wake up the other or let them rest?
Matoba rises with the sun, but Natsume tends to have yokai-filled surreal dreams so he sleeps longer to make up for it. Sometimes, when they're sleeping close, they share dreams through their power, and Matoba can only describe it as weird. Natsume is privy to the same world he sees, but yokai just like him more- that's why they're always tormenting him, even in his dreams 😂
Who is always taking pictures of the other when they aren’t looking?
Natsume. When Matoba wants a picture he'll just snap one, regardless of who what when or why, but Natsume is still too shy to openly take pictures like that for a long time. Matoba is so attuned to Natsume's every action that for a few months, Natsume's only pictures of the man were of the back of his head!
Who always forgets their wallet and never ends up paying for anything?
It's not that Natsume forgets, it's just that Matoba has always somehow paid for everything before Natsume can even think about buying. Remember kids, instead of fighting for the bill at the restaurant, pretend to go to the bathroom, tell the waiter where you were sitting, and let them keep your card to process the order so they never even need to bring the check for your company to fight over~
Who can’t sleep because the other snores or moves too much at night?
Matoba doesn't make a single sound while sleeping, and that disturbed Natsume more than if the man had snored like a lawn mower all night. Natsume doesn't know it, but he snores, just a little bit. Sometimes Matoba will stay awake just to hear it- and as their relationship progresses, Matoba can't sleep without it.
Who is better at video games, and do they let the other win or show no mercy?
Matoba bought Natsume video games, but he himself doesn't play. Why escape to video games when you have something unbelievable right before your eyes? When Natsume asked him, though, they made an animal crossing village together.
Who always gets up in the middle of the night to use the restroom and accidentally wakes up the other?
Natsume. Matoba is a very light sleeper, and he can't stand Natsume being away from him, so when he can't feel Natsume's presence by the bed anymore, he's wide awake and panicking. He can only fall back asleep once Natsume is in his arms again.
Again, thank you for sending this! I love doing them~
