Shitty unfinished uncoloured sketch of my fav ship (Azul x Idia) as my other fav ship (Light x L)

+ closeups below cut off (mostly so people can read my shitty justification for my swap choices)

For Ortho and Azul, I think Ortho initially has a bad impression of him. He doesn’t try to break him and Idia up or anything- he’s really happy his brother has a partner, actually, but he’s nervous about Azul using Idia or breaking his heart. Definitely gives one hell of a shovel talk. I do think he warms up to him eventually though- they’re never best friends or anything, but he respects Azul’s affection for his brother. On Azul’s end, I think he’s generally pretty fond of Ortho and finds him endearing, especially his “bad habits” like blackmailing people to get what he wants. Maybe a bad influence because of that… I think their relationship is a sort of working respect at first. I don’t think Azul dotes on or babies Ortho- he probably treats him as closer to a peer. They work together well, especially when trying to get Idia to take care of himself and I think they end up collaborating a lot on that matter, making them somewhat close.

1) Marriage of convenience. The Jupiter family wants to marry Idia off so he can have a heir in the event of his death, which they are obviously concerned about for various reasons. So Idia needs to find someone tolerable who’s willing to marry him, like, right now. And they have to be willing to endure a loveless marriage of convenience at the bottom of the ocean with their only consolation being the money and power they’ll get. So, greedy and willing to abandon everything for a chance at power, and tolerable to Idia. Yeah, so he and Azul get fake married, except they never divorce or anything. There’s no grand confession, but they’re happy together and that’s enough for them. (Fake dating isn’t normally my thing but it goes hard for these two 🔥🔥🔥)

2) Azul and Idia want to up the stakes at the board game club and start making bets. Things escalate, and by the time they’re both graduated, they’re in a relationship that definitely started as a bet/dare. Never ending gay chicken. They’re 80 and still act like it’s a bet, but that’s only because neither of them want to admit they lost. Honestly, FWB stuff with them is really fitting.

3) Azul and Idia just… accidentally start dating. Just progressively getting more affectionate with each other and never talk about it ever. They never officially say anything, but they also make out on the reg.

more variations under cause im hella indecisive :/
