Pseu, do you write for Yoshitsugu Otani from SLBP? And if you do, can you give us some headcanons of the man?
I do for you! I'm going to do two three sweet, one three spicy. Can’t help myself, apparently. I hope you see this and enjoy!
(Requests are closed, I am working to fill asks I received earlier this year. I will post a masterlist when they’re all up. Thank you for reading!) The sugar…
The gentlest of gentleman-- still a man, but endlessly gentle. He doesn't break and go feral, his nature is calm. His flirting is words so soft only you can hear, and his touches are steady. Yoshitsugu is not exactly handsy, but it would be unfair to call him hands off. He is appropriate, touching and teasing enough to support (and thrill) you, but never intending for you to be so flustered you can't enjoy what he is doing. The point is not to fluster you badly, only to make you feel like you are being cared for and courted. It’s important to understand that just because he’s soft with you, he’s not toothless: you wouldn’t have met him if he wasn’t one of Hideyoshi’s most brilliant men, Otani has bite. But the sharp edge of his mind is not something he means to use on you. You are special. It is important to him that you feel special and sure of your place in his esteem. He will never forget anniversaries or your favorite anything.
Just because the sharpness of his mind isn't something he means to direct at you doesn't mean he wants you to make yourself small or dull. He'll be thrilled by verbal wordplay, even the kind that doesn't start out or isn't meant to be flirtatious. Show him your mind! You don't have to be brilliant, you just have to be honest and realistic about what you know of the world. He knows your knowledge doesn't totally overlap and he likes that. Watching you pursue your interests and learn more about the things that make you glow makes him glow. Tell him something he doesn't know and then make a joke about it. You'll be treated to a slow grin and a flash of unspoken fire in his eyes. It's not covetous, but it shows its hunger and it is meant to. He can wait to feast, but he won't keep the fact that he finds you tasty to himself.
You know those quietly confident people, who in modern day can parallel park flawlessly and always pop jar lids on the first try, and aren't obnoxious about it but also don't ever doubt themselves so they keep right on doing things exactly right? That's Otani. If you are anxious, he is perfect for you: his steadiness is unshakeable, he can talk you through your catastrophizing without ever being patronizing, and he will never, ever leave you alone to make things worse in your head if you allow him to be there with you. He knows the way. He just does. You can trust in that, and in him, and in his deep affection for you.
The spice (and the rest of the nice)...
