HEADCANONS OF THE HASHIRA GETTING ON A PLANE FOR THE FIRST TIME
These two are super good friends and would be sitting together. Rengoku would sit by the window and would constantly be looking out of it, even before the plane takes off. He would be nervous, but the excitedness of being able to reach the clouds would outshine any big concern he has. He would be constantly asking if they are about to fly. Meanwhile, Uzui would be making commentary about how boring the inside of the plain is, the whites and grays killing the true emotions of such an exciting adventure as touching the Sky. He would also be trying to flirt with the flight attendants every time they pass by next to him. How he gets away from being accused of harassment yet, we don’t know.
When the plane finally takes off, both will be shouting and laughing, talking about the multiple clouds and how they look so fluffy, wondering if they could walk or lay down on them. Both of their faces will be completely pasted on the window, pushing each other constantly so they can look better. Uzui will propose opening the emergency exit and try out, Rengoku will agree, meanwhile the flight attendants will be very occupied and concerned trying to make them forget about that idea while simultaneously getting them far away from any exit possible.
GYOMEI: This man is concerned. He’ll be playing with his praying beads, and when he is not playing with them, he is saying prayer after prayer, the engine sounds too loud for his ears, scaring him further, why aren’t they taking off yet? Could someone please hold his hand and reassure him that everything will be okay, please? Feels like flying in the sky might be a little too adventurous on his part, but he won’t be sure what to think about it until he finishes his travel. Turns out the experience isn’t as stressful and scary as he had initially thought, he thinks it is soothing even, very silent and doesn’t even feel as if they are moving at all, but the moment they are all taking off and landing has his heart beating a little faster.
MUICHIRO: This boy seems a little distracted and inexpressive, however, in reality he is extremely excited to see the clouds up close. He chooses a window seat exclusively for that reason solely and he won’t even blink staring through it so he doesn’t miss a single second of this once in a lifetime experience. He might even tell the other Hashira about how he is enjoying it, and he will definitely be hoping he can get on more airplane flights in the future because the clouds up close are even more beautiful than ever.
TOMIOKA AND SHINOBU: Tomioka is very inexpressive, and he will act as if getting on a giant aircraft isn’t any big of a deal, however, that doesn’t mean that he isn’t thinking of a thousand ways the flight could go wrong, all while keeping his face straight, or maybe trying to take a nap. Shinobu would sit next to Tomioka on the window seat since she is curious about the scenery, but she is very annoyed at Tomioka’s apathetic attitude, so she will be pestering him, help him please, this man is tired. At The end both will be distracted looking at the scenery out the window, astonished by how everything seems so small from the sky, Tomioka might smile slightly, and Shinobu will be disturbed once again by that sight.
SANEMI: Sanemi is tired of being a rabid chihuahua, meaning he will see the flight as an opportunity to rest. He doesn’t care what seat he takes, the only thing that matters to him is that he wants to fly alone. He’ll cross his arms over his chest and take a nap like an old dad. Flight attendants might fear offering him food and drinks, so they’ll avoid him unless he calls them, and the flight attendants will be fighting over who gets to go and serve him. He’ll feel a little upset but will try and remain cool since he doesn’t want to create disturbances during the flight.
MITSURI AND OBANAI: This two will be fighting over who gets the window seat because Mitsuri really, REALLY wants to see out the window, but She knows how much Obanai doesn’t enjoy interaction with others or being close to strangers, while Obanai knows how much Mitsuri wants the window seat so he want to swallow everything that makes him uncomfortable in order to see her smile. At the end Mitsuri ends up winning, so Obanai sits safely at the window, and Mitsuri will be at the flight attendants' reach requesting them lots of food. She won’t even care that the prices are awfully high. If Obanai is up for it, Mitsuri will offer him food and even spoon-feed him. Additionally, when they are flying over the clouds, Mitsuri will lean over Obanai, so she can see through the window too, while Obanai tries to avoid having a heart attack there, having her so close to him then.
