Hi , a drawing of Sigurd x Iori ship (kissing) please
akjshf they didn't end up fully kissing because i couldn't figure out how to do their hair and clothes that close together, but they are getting awfully close ...
i like to imagine this is them after sigurd's wife starts talking about divorce because sigurd's job has been leading to a lot of tension for them and well ... having been divorced himself, iori knows what a soon-to-be divorcee needs most is a good rebound!
Wow, there was a lot of Sigurd love in my inbox! Thank you all for the asks. I hope you enjoy. I'm compiling all of these together since they were submitted somewhat closely.
Headcanons include: Sleeping, Driving, Bathing/Showering, Hugging, Sex, Wardrobe, Nickname, or Soft Spot. I also talk a lot about his wife for some of these ... wife guy ... to me
Also warning for some talk about erectile dysfunction
3. Sleeping
When he’s away for work, he always struggles to sleep more in the absence of his wife. After being married, he’s definitely treasured that ideal of waking up in the same bed every morning, going to sleep in each other’s arms every night. Sigurd has grown too accustomed to holding his wife as he falls asleep, so when he’s away he’ll often need good sleeping arrangements with pillows to hug instead. It’s still not the same, naturally, but it does relieve some of his heartache from being far.
Aside from that, he does try to keep a consistent sleep schedule for himself but also for his wife. With his job it’s not always possible to come home at a reasonable hour, but he will try his best to be consistent. He always worries that he’ll wake her/disturb her sleep if he comes home late from work and goes into bed, so in those situations he may spend the night in a guest/spare room out of guilt.
4. Driving
While he certainly isn’t driving for himself all the time (or even most the time), living in England means he’s quite good at navigating inclement weather. The worst trait he has is being a very aggressive driver. With all his stresses and time constraints, he has a tendency to speed, tailgate, or cut people off. Really it’s for his own safety that he’s not the one driving around most of the time, otherwise someone might just rear end him on purpose or stop really fast to brake check him. It’s still annoying for whoever does drive him because he’ll still get road rage from the passenger seat and it becomes a problem.
5. Bathing/Showering
Sigurd almost always showers rather than bathes. He’ll usually shower every other day to give himself more time with work on days he doesn’t shower. On his days off, he’ll take some time to shower or bathe with his wife. One of his favorite things about his days off is being able to help her wash her hair and then returning to their room to rest together. He’s not too picky about soaps so long as the smell is something he and his wife enjoy. He’ll try to put on lotion after showers, but his stress often pressures him to return to other tasks so he can get to sleep at a reasonable hour.
6. Hugging
Sigurd is, understandably, a withholding man. He’ll only willingly hug people he’s very close to, and they can often feel knotted tension in his arms and shoulders when he holds them. If anyone he’s not very familiar with tries to hug him, he’ll go stiff as a board and lean forward to prevent having too much contact close to the body. With his wife, family, and close friends, it’s a very different story. He’ll rarely hug his wife without also kissing her on the cheek or lips, and he always hugs those close to them in a quick but tight grasp.
8. Sex
(Because I’m interested in him being married, this is going to be somewhat related to his sex life with his wife.) Sigurd is always eager to please his partner though he is somewhat resistant to experimentation. Most of all, Sigurd loathes oral sex whether it’s giving or receiving. It somehow manages to feel intrusive and restrictive in a way that instantly brings him out of the mood. He would much rather be up close to his partner kissing their face, neck, or chest and being able to speak praises as he does.
For all the sexless Englishman jokes about his aversion to oral sex, he is/was always a very attentive lover to his wife. The main issue is that, within recent years, his job has stressed him out so much he’s developed erectile dysfunction. The negative impact it has on his marriage would probably be enough for him to try working through his oral sex aversion if just to keep his wife satisfied with intimacy, though she certainly still feels his tension he carries and misses being able to touch her husband back. It makes him feel a bit ashamed, but the main thing to get him up as of late is adrenaline from being on the front lines. He tries to carry the energy back to his wife, and they’d both be grateful for the fix, however temporary it might be.
11. Wardrobe
Given his position, his work clothes are all nicely tailored. He primarily wears British style suits, so it gives him a fairly attractive silhouette, particularly with some tapering around the waist. Even when he’s at home, he’ll wear matching pajama sets so he always seems to be put together. Most of his clothes are also made of quality fabric, typically wool (including tweed) or cotton. In addition to clothes, he also has a few accessories including a wide selection of ties and a smaller collection of brooches.
13. Nickname
He and his wife definitely have cute pet/nicknames for one another, but he would never share this in public. Sigurd is very much concerned with appearances, so he limits these names to private/home. It’s not necessarily that he’s ashamed of them, but he’s quite traditional. Pet names are a private thing of love. If brought into public, they not only lose their significance but they begin to run the risk of being unserious and overly casual.
…Maybe when he was younger his parents called him Fred or Freddie/Freddy but he felt he outgrew this by the time he was a preteen.
17. Soft Spot
Aside from the basic response of “his wife” I think a more general soft spot for Sigurd is children and C3. He cares a lot about his role at work, and part of his role is protecting the future by upholding certain work-related interests. Especially regarding children, I do see him as a family man or someone who is very eager to one day have a family (I can’t remember if he has kids or not). Because of this, he’s very concerned with children being treated well, even if his own strictness and desire for a particular future puts some strain on them. It’s not always the typical soft spot where he’ll begin to act very gently, but it’s the sort of thing that’s easily brought up in order to sway his opinions and actions a certain way.
