May I present to you a silly little hc of mine? Yes? Okay. So, I hereby propose: rui the yearner. Rui who claims he'd probably not settle down with a partner and be a lone alpha (/j) forever because the people who truly understand him are far and between, but deep down his heart aches for the one to finally show up. His other half, his twin soul, the final piece to the jigsaw puzzle that is his life. I don't see him as the type to fall in love at first sight, instead, I feel like he'd start getting interested in someone because they did something big, and as he spends more time with them, he realizes he's fallen for them, and he fell HARD. Now listen, it doesn't have to be an objectively dazzling, show-stopping, head-turning event to get his attention, it could just be something as simple as a unique perspective on something that he probably would've never thought of himself, and he ends up being so smitten for them. Without realizing it, he always looks for them in crowds, he wants to know more about them, their tastes, he pays extra attention to the little things they do, and the way their eyes shine when they're talking about something they're passionate about. I like to think that he enjoys listening to music while working, and a little self indulgent hc of mine is that he listens to hopeless romantic songs. So then he starts associating those songs with them, thinking of them whenever some specific lyrics play. He starts letting his mind wander during breaks in between practice sessions, wondering how life would be with them. Suddenly, every small moment without their presence is painful, in his heart is a gaping hole which can only be filled by seeing them again. Yk what I mean? Yeah, yearner rui.

When Toya's partner asks him "would you still love me if I was a worm?" he doesn't immediately respond. Instead, he ponders the question for a while, probably wonders what circumstances would lead to them becoming a worm ( probably an evil spirit's curse..? ) and goes "A worm..? Well, as long as you're you, I'll love you no matter what you look like." with his usual sweet smile. Later, his search history is full of questions like "how to care for worms" "what do i do if my partner becomes a worm" "do worms like books" "what do worms like to eat"
