Talentswap AU - Nanamiki HCs
I'm posting these in case I don't finish the drabble I wrote for them in time for when I usually post things.
Chiaki spaces out a bunch
She takes naps while waiting for something to bake and wakes up bc of her timer’s alarm
Chiaki’s ace but not aro (yet also she’s figuring out how not aro she is bc her and romance never really aligned much until Mikan)
Her favourite things to bake are custard buns
Her favourite flowers are sunflowers
When baking, Chiaki hyper-focuses on getting the right measurements, the right airiness, the right amount of mixing, etc. etc. and everything else sort of gets tuned out
Chiaki’s palate is sensitive, so you won’t find her eating spicy things much. She’s not afraid to work with spice though (although taste testing is gonna hurt…)
Sleep schedule? What’s that? Chiaki bakes all day and her sleep is during the times the oven is on and its door is shut (do NOT try this at home, that is 100% NOT safe)
Chiaki loves baking because she enjoys the trial and error process, and not necessarily because she wants to feed others (but she does have to do something about her creations, and she likes seeing other people happy with something she made)
On that note, she’s not someone who usually takes requests (and why she won’t open a bakery) because she prefers baking what she wants, yet she will for the people she’s closest to
She has deffo cut herself on thorns (she does wear gloves! sometimes…)
Flower love language? ABSOLUTELY! She lives and breathes it and loves requests related to it
Mikan’s bi (bi gang rise up)
Her favourite flowers are hyacinths (in all their many colours, but white particularly)
Her favourite thing that Chiaki bakes are soft, plain dinner rolls. She loves being able to quickly nyom without too much hassle
Mikan makes potpourri and sells that too
Mikan 100% knows flower anatomy and will speak about it in extensive detail (and make jokes about it)
Lowkeys always has her gardening apron on and she got it fitted along with her gloves
She grows her own flowers and also sells them (it’s flowers in particular because they were her only comfort sometimes)
Mikan gives her flowers or potpourri dishes sometimes dedicated to her love and adoration for Chiaki and Chiaki decorates her dorm with them
Mikan gazes at Chiaki while she naps
Mikan isn’t that big of a sweets fan, but she does love Chiaki’s food so Chiaki gifts her with treats and bread every so often
Physical affection? Chiaki dotes HARD. Cuddling is free real estate. Mikan’s equally as touchy, but usually doesn’t initiate in fear of causing discomfort (but usually Chiaki’s okay with it and she voices as much)
Their height diff is so cute, Mikan leans down to place forehead kisses on Chiaki (which she’s cool with btw!)
Mikan is basically Chiaki’s pillow and she is NOT complaining
Chiaki is SO patient she’s willing to hear Mikan out or be there for her or give her space when she needs it
Mikan worries she’s doing a bad job doing that for Chiaki, but she’s not, Mikan always communicates and asks Chiaki about her comfort
Chiaki makes the conscious effort to be more forthcoming and tries not to say wishy-washy uncertain statements when it comes to Mikan (saying “You’re adorable” instead of “You can be pretty adorable.”)
She sometimes says wishy-washy statements because she’s embarrassed at being forthcoming but she gets more comfortable longer into their relationship
Chiaki and Mikan watch horror movies and Chiaki expects Mikan to cling to her during it but is surprised to find Mikan completely fine
Also they DO have movie nights and they are 100% a ploy to drag Chiaki away from baking for a while
Mikan rants (and yes! Mikan being around someone she trusts means passionate ranting) around Chiaki about some bouquets she made that day or even about bad customers and Chiaki blissfully listens as she’s preparing dough
The flower shop Mikan runs also sells some treats that Chiaki made
Although Chiaki’s very used to it, Mikan is DEFINITELY worried about Chiaki’s room burning down and switches between eyeing the oven for a bit before going back to looking at a napping Chiaki and making her more comfortable
While Chiaki bakes, she ain’t cooking, and Mikan deffo isn’t (she did try and she’s actually pretty good at simple dishes, but she doesn’t like cooking), so they’re the type to order something when they want other types of food
Chiaki definitely makes flower puns/jokes and Mikan will be amused on principle (being used to it with a small smile) but if anyone else does it, she will be very intolerant (“W-what? What are you saying? You shouldn’t sully flowers like that…”)
