note: i use present/past verbs depending on the questions. there might be ns/fw ideas, so read with caution.
1. how did they meet? what was their first impression of one another?
- they met each other when giyuu was on his way inside the clinic room of kochou estate. he accidentally assumed that the door he opened was the clinic room, when it wasn’t a clinic room, in fact an ordinary room where one can rest. he saw shinobu changing her attire which both were surprised. before shinobu could throw the pillow, giyuu immediately closed the door. it was a bad meeting, unfortunately. (kanae wasn’t a pillar at that time yet, but she would be one as soon as kagaya announced it)
- shinobu’s first impression was she found him impressive that he can control his emotions very well, unlike her. she wondered how come he can stay with those dead-like eyes when the world is swarming with dangers. while giyuu’s first impression was he found her honest to the bone without holding back, but he found it admirable as she could express herself what she really is. (after her elder sister died, he felt that she can understand his pain and noticed her changes in mannerisms, but she was still admirable to him.)
2. what does this OTP have in common with one another?
- they both have elder sisters, have inferior complex, and hide their true feelings (giyuu staying stoic and calm which almost never fazes. shinobu smiling, but there’s a seeping anger if a person is observant enough.)
3. what is one thing that one person does that drives the other absolutely crazy?
- one thing that shinobu does giyuu drive crazy is her teases or silly antics. one that giyuu does shinobu drive crazy is his unpredictable actions.
4. how would they describe one another?
- giyuu wasn’t really sure how to describe her and shinobu felt the same way.
5. how did they flirt with one another before they began a relationship?
- shinobu sometimes regretted teasing him a lot that he thought everything was a joke, but in reality, it was a flirt. while giyuu didn’t really flirt or he did at some point—unaware that it’s a flirt—but his actions of helping or talking her made her heart comfortable.
6. what moment made each person first realize they were in love with the other?
- when they got comfortable with one another’s presence and thinking about the other gone felt like there’s a hole in their heart.
7. who made the first move?
- shinobu no doubt. shinobu insisted she was serious, but giyuu didn’t seem to believe so which made her pout. it ended up shinobu saying: “fine. you don’t believe me? then how about this?” and she smacked his lips which his eyes widened in surprise.
8. what would they consider the most romantic thing that happened between them?
- whenever they needed each others’ comfort.
9. what was their worst fight about? who apologized first & how?
- it was about giyuu insisting to protect shinobu from a demon, but he almost got killed if not for shinobu stepping in. giyuu apologized first by hugging her behind, telling her: “i’m sorry, i just want to protect you, but instead, i made you sad. please don’t desert me, shinobu.” (note: he’s the dramatic one.)
10. who gets jealous the most?
- giyuu no doubt. tsutako and sabito affected this, because he doesn’t want to lose who he treasures the most. of course, he finds shinobu beautiful—ethereal even—when some men talk to her his mood will go awry. if shinobu asks what’s wrong, he will brush her off telling: “nothing, really.” he doesn’t want to admit his jealousy.
- what about shinobu? well, she’s not the jealous type. she finds giyuu handsome, but if not for his density, she will probably worry. and she’s confident (to the level of narcissism 😂) that giyuu is very much in love with her, only her. (bonus: her jealousy will grow if giyuu is workaholic)
11. what do they admire the most about the other?
- shinobu wonders what does she indeed admire about giyuu, but her answer will be: “his stupidity, i guess?” giyuu immediately finds his answer: “her... assertiveness.” with a tomato ears.
12. what would both say is their favorite memory of the other?
- shinobu’s favorite was when they saved a stray child who considered them as a parent or people who are a victims of vicious demons. while giyuu didn’t have a favorite because all of his memories with shinobu was his favorite.
13. who steals the covers the most?
- no one, really. they sleep properly.
