Yo can we get like an all 3 groups on how theyâd deal with having a Male/S/O bc like S/O might get all worried about the bois rep
Side Note: So sorry to the anon who sent this (like a week ago)! It was entirely my fault for taking so long, I have no excuse. We hope you like this⊠huggee post - Mod Zozo
Eiichi is very open about his relationships. He came out a long time ago, he didnât care about the backlash he received. So when he talked about his male s/o, people werenât so surprised by it. Of course, there was that share of people who were very taken back
His reputation? Who cares about it, heâs in love and he wants to show it to people
The press is on it? Let them, he doesnât mind all of the questions
Though if there are any witch hunts for his s/o, he will immediately do something about it
Anything in the press that says something bad about him, Eiichi would freak and address it right away. Heâll clear things up, he doesnât want his s/o to have a bad name
Eiichi is actually very active for campaigning for LGBTQ+ rights in Japan. So he often uses his own experiences with his s/o and his friends to describe his life. He even discusses the homophobic remarks and actions heâs experienced to give a clear image of how itâs like to be LGBTQ+ in Japan
Eiichi all together is just a very open person, he doesnât want to hide his true self from others. If heâs going to fans and jobs, then so be it.
Itâs hard to pry into Kiraâs private life. So when the press found out Kira had a male s/o they were on it, fast
To be honest, Kira didnât address the matter. He thought it wasnât a big deal.
He thought if he ignored all the gossip and stuff, itâll go away. But when his s/oâs name got out thatâs when he had to say something
Kira just wants his s/oâs life to be private, he doesnât want his life to be plastered everywhere. Kira doesnât really care about the stupid gossip about himself. But his s/o? Heâs definitely going to do something about it
He knows itâs not good to get in drama, but his s/oâs name is out there. Kira knows for a fact that he would face a major backlash. It actually frightened Kira quite a lot
So when Kira decided to respond to these claims, he was indeed very serious. His fans and the press listened into his response and came to a single conclusion. The press eventually stops bothering him about it, due to his terrifying response.Â
Kira was happy that they werenât asking him about his love life anymore, he felt safer. So did his s/o. They can finally go on semi-normal dates.
Nagi couldnât care less about the criticism heâs receiving
He constantly posts pictures of him and his boyfriend. With his boyfriendâs permission, of course
But wait! People started giving their own uneducated opinions on Nagiâs love life.
What does Nagi think about this?
âHow does it affect you? You shouldnât care about who I love.â
Nagi then proceeds to post more and more about his boyfriend to make the press angry
If some fans get angry, he doesnât care. To him, they werenât real fans in the first place
Interviews on the matter can be harsh, and borderline inappropriate. Especially for someone as young as Nagi, heâs just a 13-year-old kid after all. If the other HEAVENS members donât shut down the conversation, Nagi will
âI love whom I love, so leave me be!â
Eiji doesnât give out too much information on his private life. How people found out was because of Eiichi accidentally mentioned it in one of his interviews
Needless to say, Eiji was not happy, in fact, he was kind of scared. He didnât want his boyfriend to face backlash or have anything crazy happen to him
Eiji would avoid conflict at all cost, he doesnât want s/o to become hurt at all
All in all, Eiji and s/o have a very long discussion about this. After that talk, Eiji lets the cat out of the bag. He talks about it during an interview
Of course s/o was very much worried, however, they both did agree on making parts of their relationship public. Eiji only talked about the bits and pieces that he consented on
Eiji then became more and more open about his relationship in the public, but it took a while
Of course, whenever Eiji received some hate mail or anything that made him extremely uncomfortable, he made sure to tell s/o and the rest of HEAVENS
He wants his relationship to be kept mostly private, but small details here and there are not so bad
Shion is extremely vague about everything. So most likely the paparazzi found out about his boyfriend
S/o became so worried, he picked up a tabloid magazine with both of them on it and showed it to Shion
Shion looked quite shocked, and he worried about s/oâs personal life. How would this affect him? Shion is just praying that he didnât ruin his life
There were articles, tweets, and dumb discussions on the matter
Shion hated being confronted about all of this, he didnât want s/o to be involved in the limelight
He tries to shield his boyfriend away from all of the hate
However, many positives did rise from this, Shion and his s/o did get a lot of support
So many of his fans stuck up for him and his s/o. Shion was so happy he cried about it to s/o
As soon as Yamato did get a boyfriend, he talked about him a lot (though never mentioned his name)
The press freaked the hell out, how could Yamato of all people have a lover? Especially a male one
Yamato rolled his eyes when he was met with homophobic remarks, he just ignored them altogether
But when they went after his s/o, he wanted to throw some fists. All of HEAVENS had to hold him back from punching someone
He was beyond angry, during an interview he dedicated a small portion of time on the issue. Yamato talked about how love shouldnât be discriminated against. No matter what sex or gender the person is
âWhy the Hell does it matter? If I had a girlfriend, I know everyone would still freak out. So whatâs wrong if my lover is a guy? How does that change anything? Itâs all dumb.â
Yamato makes sure to comfort his boyfriend after an interview. He also asks him what he couldâve done differently, or could have phrased something differently
All in all, Yamato sees this as dumb publicity, he knows that magazines are just trying to get more money. He soon stops commenting on the gossip so the press has nothing to talk about
Van has always been open about his sexuality. So he didnât have that much backlash when he relieved that he has a male boyfriend
Of course, he did receive some, though Van never let it get to him
S/o did worry about his rep, though Van did not care. He wouldnât even care if he lost a job because of it, he just wants to express himself
Van just wants his s/o and himself to be happy, the paparazzi have nothing on him, neither does the press
He will talk about his s/o, but he doesnât give out his name unless his s/o gives consent.
When he does face negative criticism during interviews, he quickly responds to them. However, Van just hates it and explains how idiotic it is to ask/say such nasty things
âYou wouldnât ask this stuff if I was with a woman, so why does it matter now?â - Van responding to the rude interviewer
Van knows that expressing his sexuality is a very controversial thing to do as an idol. But does he care? No, heâs happy to be with his s/o
Despite Reijiâs seemingly carefree and bubbly personality, he is deeply, deeply afraid of his relationship being found out by the media. Itâs something that might occasionally keep him up at night
Taking the guise of a flirty straight-man is especially stressful when you have a male-partner
Reiji has had multiple internal âcrises of faithâ of sorts. He wants to be absolutely devoted to his s/o, constantly entertaining young women with flirts and praise makes him feel grimy
But itâs his job, and itâs a job he loves doing. At least the musical and entertaining aspects of it; so he doesnât want to quit, he just wants to sort of âbreak characterâ
This is something heâs never mentioned to his s/o or anyone else for that matter. He doesnât want anyone to worry, and most of all he doesnât want his s/o to worry
Regardless of the internal strain
So instead of really doing anything about it, he just goes on as usual. Perhaps if his s/o is very perceptive heâd see some of Reijiâs stress, but that isnât very likely since Reiji is just so good at hiding how he feels in general
Reiji would do absolutely anything and everything for his s/o. To him, dealing with that kind of mental stress is just another part of that
Reiji, we love you, please seek a professional for your mental health
Ranmaru is most definitely already out of the closet, itâs just not largely acknowledged by the public
He didnât even traditionally âcome outâ in his career life, his sexuality was just another theme in his music, particularly in his older songs
Punk rock and pop punk music has always been known to have controversial and/or political themes strewn within their lyrics, so this wasnât really a surprise to anyone
That is, it wasnât surprising to older fans of his music
With that all being said, however, Ranmaru is a pretty private person and wouldnât talk about his s/o at all, even if he was a chick.
He knows that theyâd receive backlash regardless
He understands that the industry and fans generally arenât kind to the romantic partners of idols, and most other musicians for that matter. So he makes the effort to hide this part of his life
Ranmaru and his s/o certainly donât enjoy doing this. Hiding from the public figuratively and sometimes even literally is emotionally draining, and tiring
In the end, however, it is worth it because he can be with his s/o in peace. Even if Ranmaru is frustrated with their circumstances
Camus isnât the type of person to tell the world about his lover so the paparazzi mightâve found out about it
Needless to say, Camus was quite shocked by the backlash he received. He knows the idol business had the potential to be volatile, but he didnât think this of all things couldâve happened to him
Camus went to his s/o right away, he wanted to know what he should do. He was afraid of messing up and receiving some more backlash
They had a long talk about it, after they both agreed that Camus was to address the issue. Which he did, but was still faced with ridiculous criticism.
There was still so much support that many of his idol friends and fans gave to him though! Camus couldnât thank them enough
Camus would slap anybody that would talk rudely about his lover. He would not ever tolerate such things
Ever since then, Camus tried his best not to mention his lover in topics. But still found himself talking about his s/o quite a lot
S/o gets all embarrassed when he watches TV and just sees Camus talking about him. However, he still loves it nonetheless
Ai brought it up very casual like, in fact, it was so casual that people thought it was a joke. But Ai continued to talk about his relationship with his s/o regardless then things sort of spiraled from there
The next day everything went wild, though Ai wasnât really shocked by all of this. He was worried about his s/o thought, but he didnât place too much thought into it. Ai knows for a fact that no one will try anything funny on them
Ai was met with a lot of, but he didnât care. He accepted the fact that he would get reactions like this
So he moved on and addressed the topic only when he needed to
S/o, of course, worried about his rep. Though Ai didnât really care, he loves singing and performing. But doesnât want to be apart of a system thatâs so homophobic
Ai has spoken out about LGBTQ+ issues in the idol community, and he addresses lots of topics within the community
He expressed his concerns and his frustrations towards the stigma of LGBTQ+ people in Japan
Ai explains how he thinks that if he expresses his love for his s/o that other people like him can feel safer in their own country
Otoya is a very open and loving person, he is not afraid to be himself or share his ideas. He wants his s/o to be a close part of his life, despite the difficulties that may come with that
Otoya wants his boyfriend to be close to, or at the very least like his friends and family. Otoya wants his s/o to be able to feel comfortable in the private space, and wants him to know that they are supported
He also would feel pretty bad if his boyfriend didnât get along with STARISH, or vice versa
In Otoyaâs private life it is very obvious heâs in a relationship, heâs open about it. Sharing selfies with his boyfriend to his friends and family, going on and on about how amazing his s/o is, etc Â
Otoya and his s/o were unsure on as to how they should approach their relationship in the public eye. At first they decided that it would be best if they kept it a secret, but eventually decided otherwise
Otoya didnât want to hide his sexuality, heâs not ashamed of it whatsoever. He feels like keeping his identity hidden is wrong. Coming out publicly could help not only himself but others who struggle with their sexuality as well
After lots and lots of discussion with his s/o they agreed that discussing their relationship publicly would a beneficial thing to do. His boyfriend was a tad worried, but Otoya was so earnest and confident his s/o couldnât help but be as well
Syo cared deeply for his reputation, but he doesnât necessarily care if people dislike him for trivial reasons. Syo will apologize for something if heâs done genuinely wrong, but he has a pretty tough moral backbone and is very careful about what he says so that rarely happens
Things like people not liking his sexuality is something he couldnât any care less about
Syo didnât really even come out, the public sort of found out on accident. As for his friends and family, theyâve all known for a while now. Itâs not really something Syo talks about a lot, but heâs comfortable other people knowing
So ya know, whatever. He doesnât care
If Syoâs boyfriend was ever concerned for his reputation Syo would make certain to quickly to reassure them. His s/o shouldnât have to worry for his sake, Syo can handle any problem (if they arise) on his own.
Other than all that sexuality controversy the relationship between Syo and his s/o was pretty normal. Syo makes sure that theyâre both able to do the things they want to do without getting harassed or bothered, and he very much succeed
They both hang out with their friends and family a lot (this is particularly important to Syo), hopefully Syoâs boyfriend gets along with them all alright. STARISH especially can be a rowdy bunch
All in all everything is just plain good. They both are happy, and honestly thatâs the only thing that really matters to Syo
Natsuki can be incredibly naĂŻve and certainly was when he announced his relationship through the media
He was utterly baffled by the crude responses to his sexuality and to his relationship in general
Natsuki wasnât really distressed, he was just confused. He isnât ignorant, Natsuki was aware that there would be some backlash and disapproval, but he didnât think there would be enough to at least bring his attention to it
âWeâre in the 21st century, I didnât expect that many people to get upset.â
However, we all know Natsuki, he doesnât dwell on negatives for very long. Turning his attention away from the bitterness, he was actually more surprised on how much support heâs received
He didnât expect so many of his fans to be so happy for him
Especially because he never formally came out, he just sorta put his relationship out for everyone to see
He and his s/o are absolutely delighted to be so supported, it makes them so much more comfortable being out together. Natsuki may have even started to vlog with them and post more about his s/o on Twitter in general
Overall, Natsuki and his s/o really donât have any worries, theyâre happy being together and theyâre happy that the world knows
Ren is an active advocate for all love, his views on sexuality are widely known and often supported by the public. Heâs also not shy about talking about his  own sexuality and is unfazed by any negative criticism.
So Ren was quite confident when speaking about his relationship to the media
Ren has practically no worries in terms of his work in the industry and is so confident in his reputation his s/o isnât even all that concerned
All Ren wants is for his s/o to be able to get along with his friends and the rest of STARISH, harmony is very important to him
This isnât too big of an issue though, since his s/o will most likely get along with them anyway
Despite all that, Ren still doesnât want to introduce his boyfriend to his family. His relationship with his brother can be quite on-and-off, and he doesnât want to put his s/o through that kind of trouble
Ren will forever and always be a loyal partner, he is flirtatious in nature but certainly not a cheat. His actions very much stem from some sort of attention-seeking desire, if thatâs not the case heâs just charming fans
Heâs not necessarily proud of that; hopefully heâll be able to have a talk with his s/o about how he feels
Their relationship is just overall pretty smooth; there are some obstacles to overcome, especially in terms of Renâs idolship, but theyâre working on it and doing quite well
Cecil never needed to come out of the closet, there was never any closet to begin with. If Cecil takes a fancying to you, heâll let you know, heâll let his friends know, heâll let the universe know
Everyone knew about this boyâs sexuality from the start, and Cecil didnât give a shit about what you thought of it
In Cecilâs home country, Agnapolis homosexual relationships were accepted, and often encouraged. It was deeply embedded into the roots of his countryâs history and religion, so naturally Cecil just accepts it
When Cecil went to Japan and realized homophobia was a thing that existed he was like, â????â. âExcuse me, what? Get this shit out of my house, thank you very much.â
Cecil just doesnât understand, so when his s/o was like, âUhhh, maybe you want to keep this a secret, ya know for your rep.â He just responded with a slick, âNah fam, itâs cool.â
Honestly, Cecil just gets so ridiculously frustrated at the thought of someone being ridiculed for their sexuality, heâd just go crazy. Itâs almost comical on how upset he gets sometimes
âIf you are please gay stand up and smack the government.â
On a serious note, however, he is very much saddened by the fact that people arenât accepted just because of their sexuality. He is even more saddened by the fact that gay marriage is not even legal in Japan
Watch Cecil campaign for gay rights
In general, Cecil doesnât treat his homosexual relationships any different from his heterosexual ones. His s/o may worry about that from time to time, but overall heâs just refreshed by Cecilâs positivity
Being outed to the public is probably one of his worst fears literally ever, so if he did have a male s/o Masato would definitely keep it under wraps. He is extremely careful about where/how he and his s/o go out
Honestly, Masato would worry more about it than his s/o
His anxiety is from such a strong combination of how he was raised and what he does for work; Masato feels so much shame and bitterness about who he is, itâs almost pitiful
Masato thinks heâs just worked so hard and given up so much to be where he is now. Heâs terrified of how his sexuality could affect his career. He doesnât want to lose everything heâs gained
Itâs such an unhealthy view of his sexuality, and he knows this, he just canât shake this feeling of disgust
It takes such a terrible strain on his relationship with his s/o. Itâs absolutely exhausting to be partners with a person who is so uncomfortable with their sexuality, even if you love them so much
Their stress is only magnified and made worse by Masatoâs idolship
Masato eventually realizes he canât keep doing this to his s/o; he canât have the person he loves be the representation of his inner turmoil, so he decides to seek help professionally
Initially, Masato considered breaking things off with his s/o altogether but decided that would be unfair to his partner
And to Masatoâs surprise, counseling is actually helping him. Little by little heâs improving. Anxieties are still there and will always be there, thanks partially to his career, but heâs getting better
The relationship with his s/o is even strengthened because of this
Tokiya sort of always knew his sexuality, he wasnât even necessarily uncomfortable with it. Itâs just a part of who is is he is and heâs embraced it for a long time now
This is partially thanks to lots of experimentation, but honestly Tokiya knows who is and what he wants, so in general heâs pretty confident in himself
That being said, however, Tokiya hasnât come out to the public or his friends or family. Not because heâs ashamed of himself, heâs just pessimistic and sorta believes everyone around him will react negatively
His relationship with his s/o is very much a secret. STARISH and Haruka donât even know about it. Tokiya just goes out a lot without telling them where heâs going, he worries them
His boyfriend very much worries and cares for Tokiyaâs reputation. He knows how much Tokiya loves his career, and despite the stress it puts them both through, heâs willing to deal with it because it is so important to Tokiya
Unfortunately they donât get to see each other very often, their time together is mostly spent through calls and texts. This makes Tokiya feel pretty guilty, he doesnât want his s/o to go through this kind of distant relationship
Tokiya may sometimes even feel as though his s/o would be better off without him
Even so, Tokiyaâs biggest concern overall goes back to the issue of his friends not knowing. He wants them to be closer, he wants them to know, but is still unsure
Perhaps the more time that passes by, the more comfortable heâll get with the idea
