Placing yet another box of sugary cereal for the twins into your grocery cart, you continued down the aisle. Glancing downwards at the list Konro had written for you, and realized that carrots were the last thing on your list that you hadn’t gotten yet.

After reaching the area of the supermarket that contained all of the vegetables, you found the last bag of carrots at the bottom of the wooden case. But once you reached for that bag, your hand ran into an older-more wrinkled one. Gazing upward, you softened your glare at the elderly man in front of you.

“I’m sorry sir, just let me grab this carrot and I’ll be out of your hair.” you stated sweetly, reaching down into the crate once again. Grabbing the carrot and placing it into your basket, you attempted to walk towards the checkout lines but was interrupted by the same gnarled hand on your shoulder.

“Y-young lady’“ his aged voice croaked, lifting a single bony finger in the air, causing you to cringe. “Now, I believe that I had that carrot first.” You could have sworn that you felt a blood vessel pop in your forehead. 

Most young adults your own age probably would have just given the man the carrot and been on their way-but, not you. It simply wasn’t something you could just let slide, you clearly had found the carrot first-so it was obviously yours for the taking. Pushing the cart in front of you to get a bit of distance, you continued your way on to the checkout line-that was until the same elderly man who was now tugging on your sweater. With a twitching eye, you slowly turn around with the fakest smile plastered on your lips.

“Ma’am-” snatching your hand out of his grasp, you clutched the man's collar and brought him [up or down] to your own height.

“Listen, old man,” you spoke dripping with anger, gently shaking him to get your point across. “I saw the carrots first so their mine-”. 

You were interrupted when you felt a rather muscular arm encircle around your [body size] waist and throw you over their shoulder. 

“I’m sorry about my wife,” Benimaru told the old man, placing the flat of his palm onto your lower back to keep you from squirming around. “Here’s your carrots.”

After giving the elderly man his carrots and checking the rest of your groceries out, he placed you back onto your feet with an arm around your waist.

“But Beni I saw them fi-” you were suddenly cut off by his lips meeting your own, effectively shutting you up for once. Moving his head away, he leant it onto your shoulder.

“You’re such a pain.”

Before your relationship would actually begin, I feel that Karim would have to know you pretty well beforehand. He doesn’t take me as someone who would simply ask someone out based solely on physical attraction-you two would need to be compatible personality-wise. He would most likely not be attracted to someone who was too loud or outgoing, seeing as he’s pretty laid back and chill himself. I’m not ruling out the option of him dating an extrovert entirely, I just think that it wouldn’t last longterm due to your personality’s clashing. The only way I can see him getting close enough to someone to the point of asking them out is if he met them at the workplace-he would have enough time to both get to know you and confirm his feelings. It would def take him some time to realize his feelings and gain the courage to confront you about them. He seems all chill and composed but when he really likes someone it’s difficult for him to keep his feelings under wraps before expressing them. Being a fire soldier his job is naturally exhausting, and he would value someone who could understand and relate to that. I think he’d be attracted to someone who was also introverted, but maybe a bit quieter than himself?

When he actually does get the courage to ask you out, he said it so casually that you almost missed it. The two of you were sharing a casual meal together during lunch when he mentioned: “We should do this more often.” 

“We do this every day we don’t have a mission Karim.” you responded with a slightly deadpan expression, confused at your fellow soldier's statement.

“I meant on an actual date idiot.”

“Oh.”

The actual date would probably take place at a family-owned restaurant of sorts, something nice and quiet but not too classy and upscale. He honestly just wanted to go somewhere where y’all could talk privately without the interference of anyone in Company 1. In the early stages of the relationship, I believe he’d prefer to keep things casual and low-key, meaning he wouldn’t gossip to anyone else about what was going on between you two. Also during this time, he will start to get more touchy and affectionate with you, not in around others of course (pda would def be a no for him, the most he would do is a hug and peck on the forehead goodbye).

When the relationship becomes long term he would be less low key about it and unafraid to talk about it with others. Not that he was afraid in the first place, he just valued your privacy and everyone didn’t need to know your business. As stated earlier, he isn’t the most physically affectionate person, but he’d rather show his love in different ways. For example, if you two were ever on a mission together-he would check on you constantly, not in an overbearing way though. He knows your strong and that you can handle yourself, he just wants to make sure the love of his life is safe🥺. Another way he would show his love is taking care of you were tired or had just returned back from a mission. I can also see him sometimes doing random things like buying you flowers, but if you mention it to anyone else he will def deny it.

✰ Okay so foremost, Obi’s job as captain of Company 8 always comes first, so a new recruit that he might find attractive would be the least of his worries at the moment. Not saying that he wouldn’t care to pursue you or anything, but his job comes first and he would try his best not to get distracted by you-although it may become difficult at times. I think you would really have to be someone that he believes he can start a relationship with, not necessarily just a pretty face. I headcanon that he wouldn’t begin to fall for someone unless he had been friends with them for quite some time first, so maybe interacting on some missions or something of that nature. Maybe after being recruited for a few months or so and forming a friendship with him, he would then decide that he wanted to ask you out on a date. 

✰ If you were more on the quiet and reserved side he might do something like getting you a bouquet of flowers with a note stating his confession of feelings attached. But if you had a more bubbly and outgoing personality he might not shy away from asking you out and confessing in person. After you accept his confession, I don’t think that much would change from the perspective of the other crew members. Even though you had accepted his confession and was happy that a relationship was beginning to blossom-he is a thirty-year-old grown man and has a position as captain that he needs to keep up. As much as he may want to spend all of his free time hanging out with you, he still has a station to run. 

✰ Like I said earlier you’re both pretty busy people being fire soldiers so finding time even for something as simple as a date might be difficult. When you do finally have the free time to, I can see him wanting to take you out to a nice restaurant for dinner. It might seem a bit extra for a first date but he wants to impress you so it’s understandable. If you weren’t too keen on dates like this or being around a lot of people, he would be just as happy to go to a park and talk or something else of that nature. During the date (wherever the two of you end up going), He may try to keep the conversation off of him and more towards you. He isn’t insecure or anything like that, he just wants to get to know you more since he hasn’t yet had the chance to. 

For me, Vulcan comes off as someone who can be joking and playful, but serious when the time calls for it. But in my opinion I can see him as being attracted to someone on the more serious side, still quiet but not as playful, as to balance the relationship out a bit. Not saying he wouldn’t be attracted to someone whom was also of goofy but I think at times he’d need someone who was mature to rationalize or calm him down.

Relationship wise I see him as quite teasing and affectionate, but not overbearing or clingy. He wouldn’t mind public displays of affection if you were in to that, but I think he’d rather reserve it for when you were alone. I can see him as being a fan of hand holding and cuddling (probably not in public) if you were okay with it. 

As far as kissing goes he most likely wouldn’t do more than a peck on the cheek after a battle or something along those lines. I don’t think he’d kiss anyone unless he was sure that he liked them truthfully. Not to be sappy but I just think kisses are very meaningful to him and he probably blush whenever you gave him one...how cute.

And as stated earlier cuddles are a must unless you're uncomfortable with that. I see him as enjoying taking naps and cuddling with you quite often-especially if you were also a fire soldier, which brings me to my last point.

I don’t see him having a preference on whether you were also a fire soldier or not, but if you were he might act slightly different towards you. What I mean by that is if you were one he’d be more protective and not want you to go on certain missions. He’d certainly let it be your choice on whether you partook in the mission or not, he’d just be worried for your well being, no matter how powerful/you might be.

I think it would Takehisa quite awhile to realize his affections for someone. As I’ve stated before in my last post pertaining to him-he’s very focused on his occupation as a Fire Soldier, that will always come first in his mind. For him to actually develop and recognize his feelings for you. I don’t exactly see him as a cold person, but I believe he would probably be attracted to someone who can understand his personality well. What I mean by that is someone who doesn’t fear him like the other members of company happen to.

Initially (assuming that you also like him of course...who wouldn't tbh) he would notice that he feels differently about you than he does with his other fellow fire soldiers. He still wants to protect them and considers them family, but he began to notice that calling you family felt a bit odd. He would start to realize that it was somehow more than that. He’d find it hard to think or be at full attention around you for some reason. I definitely don’t think he would be the type to blush or stutter, but more so he will most likely begin to feel sickly? But like not in a bad way. And it would only happen when you were around or when he happened to be thinking about you. Since I don’t see him as having a relationship before, I can see him going to Captain Obi for advice-in which he’d laugh at Hinawa and tell him that he liked you. 

I don’t see him as being anything like a tsundere in nature. so he’d probably be very straight forward with his feelings. He would most likely tell you the day that he talked to Obi, not wanting to beat around the bush any. I also don’t think your relationship would change a great deal after the confession (again assuming that you accepted). Relationship wise I don’t think he’s a very grabby/cuddly person, so I think dating/liking someone whose affectionate might be a problem. Having said that I think he would just become more harsh on you training wise simply because he doesn't want anything bad to happen to you. He’s not one to be jealous but I do believe him to be over protective, often not allowing you to partake in certain missions due to the level of danger. Basically your relationship would remain the same as it was before the confession-just with some added kisses and hugs when no one else was around.
