—Ohma's one of the few who don't consider the Kure Clan's techniques monstrous, which means he doesn't criticize you for using them. That also means that, if the opportunity arises, he'll observe you in great detail to study each of your movements. Then, once it's over, he'll ask you, quite bluntly, about assassination stances as if they were just another martial art.

—Discussing one technique or another can end up in more or less intense debates about the pros and cons of your respective arts, since the efficiency of the Kure Clan may clash quite a bit with Ohma's raw adaptability.

♡—Now, on a more romantic note, he doesn't do dating traditionally—there's almost nothing about him that suggests normality to begin with. His idea of ​​an ideal date would be going to a rooftop with the city lights illuminating your surroundings and sparring lightly until both of you are breathless on the floor. Then he sits with you, sharing food in the quiet ambient, legs dangling over the edge as you both converse or not at all.

♡—Now, given that it's a more intimate relationship, Ohma might be willing to add some physical touch to the equation. Neither of you are used to gentle touch, so it might take some time, but little by little you'll start to feel a hand squeezing on your shoulder, him pulling you closer after a fight, and so on. It's a gradual change that requires a terrifying amount of comfort, because it shows you're not just a comrade, but someone he's afraid of losing.

—To begin with, Gaolang has a deep respect for all disciplines, which applies to the rigorous training the Kure Clan puts its members through. That kind of endurance and profound training discipline fascinates him. So much so that he'd ask if you could teach him certain conditioning methods, even the painful ones. Learning something new, especially from someone he considers a friend, makes him genuinely pleased.

—It's difficult to coordinate your schedules, but Gaolang insists you join him on the rare occasions you share to do cooldown stretches after a harsh training session. He'd correct your posture with a professional tone of voice and gentle touches, explaining how you should do it to avoid damaging your muscles. And that's not even mentioning when he scolds you after you return injured from a dangerous assignment.

—As an activity you both enjoy, thanks to your diverse knowledge of martial arts and the like, you can easily end up discussing hypothetical combat scenarios, often focusing on Kure stealth tactics. He takes clan methods seriously, as it's not every day you find someone sharing that kind of information. However, he'd also talk to you about Muay Thai and boxing without hesitation.

♡—A typical date with him would be similar to Ohma's. In this case, it would be a quiet and private evening at a Muay Thai gym, which he'd request be closed or rented, so you could be alone together. Gaolang'd prepare a clean mat where you both can teach each other different techniques from your respective arts. Afterward, he'd prepare a simple meal to help you replenish the energy spent in the intense training. Your dates tend to end with him taking your pulse and gently touching your wrist with his thumb for longer than necessary.

♡—I'd say he's quite private about his personal life, aside from being a celebrity in his native Thailand, so he tends to be more composed in public, being much more affectionate in private. And yet, he seems to lose that image of serenity the most when he knows you're fighting or something similar, because even though he knows the Kure clan doesn't need protection, he still promises to take care of you out of devotion.

—Call me crazy, but I think Saw Paing'd be thrilled if you were part of the Kure Clan. Not for any specific reason related to brute strength, but because he genuinely sees it as the coolest thing ever. I wouldn't be surprised if he brags about it whenever he gets the chance, like a proud brother of sorts.

—The aforementioned training sessions—in Ohma's part—also take place with him, only in this case, it's much more chaotic, which clearly demonstrates his personality. He'd ask you to teach him the clan's techniques, shouting with excitement at the prospect of learning even the most dangerous ones in their arsenal. For obvious reasons, you'd refuse the most lethal ones you know, not trusting how they might end up; even so, he'd try to imitate your movements in the best of intentions… Although it wouldn't be unusual to see him crash spectacularly into a wall after attempting to copy you.

—Saw Paing has this vibe of a golden retriever on steroids with an insane energy. Add to that small details like his protective side, which means that for every person who insults you, whether passively or aggressively, he's already standing up in your defense with shouts before you've even had a chance to react yourself.

♡—Moving on to the romantic side, Saw Paing's very expressive, perhaps even too much so. Therefore, it's no surprise that he's so openly and unashamedly affectionate with you without any care about your surroundings. He's the type who would hug you from behind, squeezing you like a rag doll. He'd lift you into the air, whether you're taller than him or not, and then spin you around. He'd shout his love for you to the world, regardless of who's around. He doesn't care much about other people's opinions; all he cares about is you and his love for you, really—although he may happily present you to Gaolang if you two haven't met before.

♡—An ideal date for him would consist of something simple, almost typical, that would turn wild as soon as he had a chance to do so. He'd invite you for a stroll down a typical street lined with street food stalls, dragging you around by the hand, buying various snacks for the both of you, and loudly praising every bite he takes. Then he'd insist on taking a different route, mentioning things as ordinary as climbing a tall structure, racing down an alley to see who gets to x point first, or challenging strangers to arm-wrestling… You get the picture, right?

-to start with, his attraction to you is not the same as his attraction to rino, polar opposite even

-while he worships the ground she walks on, with her beauty and kindness being what makes his knees weak, for you it's the raw strength and the fear your presence induces

-he loves the thrill you give him as someone from the bloodthirsty kure clan, your unmatched natural talent for drawing blood pushes his limits

-you make his heart beat in a passionate frenzy that completely opposed rinos calming nature, and he's addicted to it like a drug

-on the other hand, it's the kure tendency to be attracted to strength that brought you to him

-he's torn between you and her, since she's what he dedicates his whole being to, while you make him feel alive and in the moment like no one else ever has

-you two first meet when you were hired by a rival company to assassinate rino, and rei was there to protect her of course

-you were immediately drawn to his strength, even letting the fight draw longer than it had to be just to test the waters, your enjoyment obvious to both if them

-the way you two fought, rino could just see sparks flying, so she made her own proposal

-she would double or even triple what you were paid by her rivals in exchange for working as her guard, as rei does

-easiest agreement in your life since you were just doing this job for the money anyways

-rino finds you two interesting and wants to see how it unfolds, no matter how messy

-shes not at all threatened by your presence in his life, you two provide different things for him and one cannot replace the other, so she knows she still has a comfortable grip on him, plus she wouldn't mind having a new toy to tease, fun little challenge for her

-rei doesn't trust you though, not for a long time

-but weeks turn into months and months into years, the bind between you two slowly strengthening with time

-honestly he was way more threatened of you than you were of him, the fear of replacing him maybe

-yet you always stayed close to him, wanting to see what he was really capable of

-the way your eyes bored holes into him no matter what he was doing made him feel a tautness in his muscles, like he was being stalked like prey, something he'd never felt before

-it was exhilarating, and that exhilaration turned to curiosity, which turned into interest and eventually attraction
