Could I please request how Liu Kang, Fujin and Kung Lao would react to their exhausted s/o falling asleep on their shoulder.
this game is abt blood and gore?? hurt??? debilitating pain??? how dare u req such a soft idea anon ✋😔
Liu Kang
Liu would stiffen and freeze, almost as if SubZero had done the freezing himself — at this point, moving would be considered illegal.
It’s okay, he tells himself in a panic, he’s good at keeping still for long amounts of time — meditation is essentially the same thing (minus the rapid heart beating, of course). The Chosen one will have likely kept still until his s/o woke up, even if it meant staying still for hours.
Liu Kang’s stiffness will be at it’s worst if his feelings aren’t already spoken for. The poor monk can get so anxious he might just be as stiff as a rock, and his special person might prefer trying to keep their head up than to doze off on literal stone.
Fujin
Fujin’s more than happy to be his s/o’s personal pillow. He’s a patient man, immortal as he is, and so if they need him to sit still for as long as the moon’s up, he’ll gladly be there :)
Fujin’s initial reaction will never be one of surprise, as he would have probably noticed them dozing off before they’d fallen asleep. To him, it feels as satisfying as having a bird perch on your finger instead. The wind god might have also offered his shoulder well in advance, being the considerate one he is.
Not much changes outwardly when his feelings aren’t spoken for, but inwardly, he hopes this is something that brings them closer together. Of course, controlling the wind has little to do with romantic feelings, but oh how he wishes it did.
Kung Lao
aw yea bb 😎 look who just feel asleep on my shoulder
If it’s the first time, he’ll probably be fidgeting around so much in all his initial excitement. Of course he’s trying to be cautious, but unfortunately he can’t help but to point at his s/o’s sleeping face and stick a tongue out at Liu Kang at the same time.
Fun behaviour aside though, he’s reduced to a grinning mess. Kung Lao is glad that his partner trusts them enough to sleep upon his shoulder, and melts under their warmth — he’ll have their head tucked neatly under his own soon enough.
