Who are they? The two OCs are none other than Dimitri Sorin: 

Before you ask, yes his FC is the He is the oldest of the seven Sorin siblings and is what many would describe as a “Cowardly Lion” because while he is brave, he can be very hesitant to throw himself into danger unless it’s someone he loves that’s in said danger. But over all he is a very sweet and kind person, very sarcastic and witty when the time calls for it and according to his family “A little shit when he wants to be.” But a loving and loyal character overall and according to @dgmheadcanxns “a bean.”

The next one is Nanashi Masachika, @dgmheadcanxns OC:

His FC is Nanashi from “The Sword of the Stranger.” And according to @dgmheadcanxns “He is the oldest of the three Masachika siblings. In a few words, Nanashi keeps to himself when someone first meets him. He’s very reserved, and can seem incredibly intimidating with his harsh eyes, and cold demeanour. That’s what many take away from him. Despite his snarky, and often rude attitude, Nanashi’s grown a soft spot, mainly due to having to raise his baby sister ever since she was a child after the loss of their parents. When one sees Nanashi alone, versus when they see him with Miya, many may not find him to be the same person.” Or as I like to refer to him, “a reserved man that turns into a huge papa bear when his sister is involved in something.” But I love him just as much as I love my OCs.

Why are they shipped together? @dgmheadcanxns decides to ship them together after discussing our characters personalities and such and decided it would be a perfect example of opposites attract because Dimitri and Nanashi balance one another out so well. While Nanashi is very reserved and somewhat cold, Dimitri is very open and warm. They’re the sun and the moon in a sense. Two opposites that fit so well together. Plus height differences are sacred.

How did they meet? Dimitri and Nanashi met when Dimitri was 14 and Nanashi was 15. Around this time, it had already been a few months since Dimitri’s mother had passed away, 6 to be exact. So at this point he was going through very, very rough time. Since his father was always away on missions and he and his twin brother, Jullian had taken on the roles of being both parents for the younger ones while their father was away. So at this point Dimitri is a bit of a shit and very angry at the whole world. So he takes it out on Nanashi and in turn Nanashi takes his anger out on Dimitri because they’re both little shits that are mad at the world. But it changed when during the mission they end up getting snowed in at the inn they’re staying at and Dimitri is just like, “Fuck it. If we’re stuck here we may as well make the most of it.” And he and Nanashi start talking about their families and what they’re like. Dimitri shares the reason he’s been so angry is because he lost his mother recently and it’s been hard being the “parent” while his father is away on missions and when his brother is as well. Nanashi shares that it’s been hard raising his little sister all by himself as well. This leads to the two of them blabbing on and on about their younger sisters and bragging on them; and by the end of the night Dimitri and Nanashi find out they have a lot more in common they originally planned and thus a friendship was born.

How they got together. Dimitri and Nanashi got together a few months after Dimitri was released from capture by the Noah (message in requests if you want to hear about that!) but it was a very slow thing making the transitions from best friends to lovers. But it was also the most natural thing in the world at the same time. It started with small smiles here and there, looking bashfully at one another as though they were keeping a secret just between them, lingering touches on the shoulder or back, comments that could be considered as vaguely flirtatious, loving glances when the other wasn’t looking, giggles heard coming from either of their rooms in the middle of the night when they couldn’t sleep, or Dimitri showing up to Nanashi’s room at 2AM with a horrible nightmare in the back of his mind. It was small gradual things that built up and up until it combusted and they finally realized that they cared for one another. But they didn’t get “official” until after their first kiss.

How did their first kiss go? Their first kiss happened on a mission and Dimitri made the first move. It was when they were both to far to make it to an inn one night and had to camp out in the woods. During this time, the weather is just starting to get colder and of course Dimitri being the dumb ass he is forgot to bring a blanket so he and Nanashi end up sharing one with him. And since neither of them can sleep, they just talk and such and watch the fire and Nanashi looks so beautiful in the light of the fire and the way he smiles makes Dimitri’s heart swell. So Dimitri just grabs Nanashi’s face in mid laugh and plants one on him. It’s soft and sweet and passionsate and it feels so warm and right but before Nanashi can shake himself out of the shock that holy shit his best friend and long time crush just kissed him stupid, Dimitri pulls away and goes to apologize but before he can get an, “I’m so sorry.” out of his mouth, Nanashi pulls him back in by his shirt collar and kisses him again. When they both finally decide to come up for air, Nanashi is grinning from ear to ear with a bit of a blush on his face as he goes. “So I guess this whole thing isn’t one-sided now is it, Mitri?” which causes Dimtri to want to kiss that stupid grin off his face or slap it off. Help this poor bean, Nanashi will drive him insane with being a little shit. 

How did their first “I Love You” go? Their first I love you was on a mission as well and this time Nanashi made the first move. They ended up being held up in their safe house at the end of the mission due to a bad snow storm that made it impossible for the train to depart that night. So they stay up late, laughing and joking around because sleep is for the weak and they can always rest on the train in the morning. But they built a small fire in the small sitting area of the safe house and are just talking about anything and everything that comes to mind, joking and laughing as most couples do with play fights included. And at one point Dimitri has Nanashi pinned to the ground in their play fight with this proud grin and his smile and skin are glowing in the fire light and he looks so happy and beautiful that it almost hurts to look at him, and it just slips past Nanashi’s lips in the most natural way possible, whispered into the air like a secret. “I love you.” and it makes Dimitri stop short for a minute and his grip lessens on his boyfriends shoulders and falls to the side as he lets Nanashi sit up and pull him into his lap. They look in Dimitri’s eyes isn’t only one of shock, but one of disbelief as well because his last boyfriend only told Dimitri he loved him after coming home smelling like a bar and a round of sex. And that was the only time. So to hear someone be sober and not have to give them anything, to hear them say that makes Dimitri’s heart so happy that he does start crying. When Nanashi starts to panic at seeing his boyfriend cry Dimitri just shakes his head and pulls him in for a really sweet and passionate kiss. When he pulls away, his smile is so bright and beautiful you would have thought he’d won the whole world; and to Dimitri he did as he whispered back “I love you too.”

Cute things about them as a couple.

Dimitri is 5'7" and Nanashi is 6'3" so the height difference is, as you can imagine, both adorable and problematic at times.

Nanashi calls Dimitri “My Little Prince” all the time and it makes him blush like nobody’s business, it’s adorable. Dimitri has a nickname of his own for Nanashi and its “Mic Tigru” which means “My little tiger.” In Romanian. It’s great to watch Nanashi get really flustered when he says it.

Nanashi always give Dimitri piggyback rides around the order and it’s great. • If one ever has a nightmare, they just go the others room, no questions asked and snuggle until the other feels better. Although later on they do end up just moving into a room together to remedy the last night knocks at the door.

They’re always holding hands when they can, or Nanashi has an arm slung around Dimitri’s shoulders, Dimitri has an arm around Nanashi’s waist. They always have to be touching if they’re not on a mission, mainly because they like to be close to one another. But it’s never much more than causal touching, like above. They don’t really kiss in public because they both believe that’s something more for private, but forehead and cheek kisses are about all thy do in public as far as that. 

They’re both very family oriented and after they got together, they wanted the other to meet their extended family. Nanashi already knows all of Dimitri’s siblings by didn’t knew his cousins or his aunts and uncles on hit mothers or fathers side. And Dimitri knew Miya but he never knew Nanashi’s cousins. So it was a great way for them to grow closer and such. 

Nanashi and Miya are basically members of the Sorin family and are invited to every family event no matter what because Dimitri’s family absolutely loves them. And the Same goes for the Sorin family being invited to meet the Masachika’s

Dimitri loves to play with Nanashi’s hair like all the time. He likes to put it in pony tails or braid it. He just thinks it’s so pretty and he loves it.
