#amyn kith

Thank you so much for the ask!! I’ll answer for Amyn and Awilda, since I need to give them more attention and Amyn has been on my mind for the last few days. Awilda belongs to @wilvarin-chan!

5. What activities do they enjoy together?

They often enjoy reading together, usually curled up together with their separate books, just basking in one anothers’ presence, but sometimes they read to one another too. Amyn also loves painting Awi and gets her to pose and lounge around for him while he works.

6. What is/are their love language(s)?

Awi’s biggest love language it touch, which is also one of Amyn’s, but his biggest one is words of affirmation. I’d also venture to say quality time is another big one for them, they really grow into loving spending their time together. It’s an important thing for both of them that they get to be focused solely on one another.

11. What causes them to fight?

Thanks so much for the ask!!! I’ll go with Amyn, since I haven’t talked about him too much and he’s been on my mind lately. 

Amyn was madly in love with his childhood sweetheart and best friend, Amoretta, even after she ditched him on the night that they were planning on running away (more on that in a second). 

His mother pushed him into marrying a woman “of similar social standing,” @wilvarin-chan‘s Awilda Shay. Amyn went through with it in large part because he felt that if he couldn’t be with Amoretta, he might as well “do his duty to the family” as his mother so often put it.

Amyn later finds out that his mother orchestrated Amoretta ditching him, she paid off the girl’s parents as well as her and arranged a different suitor for her that Amoretta actually fell in love with. Amoretta never actually reached out to tell Amyn what she knew and she never offered any explanation. 

Amyn suspects part of Amoretta not talking to him might have been guilt, but he doesn’t know for sure and it took him a long time to work through his grief and anger over essentially being left at the altar (they had planned to run away and get married that night).

Despite having all of these feelings bouncing around inside if him, Amyn isn’t the most capable of being vulnerable and it took a lot of time for him to open up to his wife about everything. 

Their relationship at first was tense, at best. And it was often volatile. There was a lot of snipping at each other and making sarcastic remarks. Both of them resented the other for “forcing them” into this situation (justifying it as “well, they could have backed out of it”). 

Amyn and Awi’s relationship takes a turn eventually. Awi gets a very drunk and apathetic Amyn to actually open up to her about what his mother did, and she overhears his mother bragging about how she ended her son’s previous relationship. He and Awi slowly start to trust each other, they start to fall in love slowly, it definitely takes some time, but they get there.

Awi and Amyn actually liking each other and falling in love creates the very thing his mother was trying to prevent: Amyn is out of her control, both of them undermine her authority any time they can, and Amyn constantly reminds his mother that “she wanted this marriage for him.” They cause a lot of scenes and scandalized murmurs when one of them decides they’ve had enough socializing too (lots of innuendos/flirty looks usually accompany one of them saying “take me home” whether or not it’s just and excuse to leave... Awi has done it to get Amyn out of a situation where his mother was bringing up something that hurt him before).

Amyn ends up loving Awi more than he’d ever loved Amoretta and actually becomes very thankful that they met (though he doesn’t forgive his mother for what she did). It takes them some time to get here, but by the time that they do he’s healed a lot and he’s a very caring and dedicated husband. And despite his mother being obnoxious, Amyn and Awi actually begin to get along a lot better with Awi’s parents.
