general headcanons

❤︎ lee is an early bird. he’s usually awake before sunrise , using those quiet hours of the early morning very productively to meditate or train himself.

❤︎ goes to bed fairly early. very strict sleep schedule unless under special circumstances.

❤︎ a bit of a neat freak. his room is spotless and everything is always put away into its rightful place. from his weights down to his neatly folded laundry.

❤︎ rock lee is exceptionally hygienic !! he treats his body with the same discipline and respect he applies to training. to lee , maintaining good physical ( as well as mental ) health is just an extension of his deep dedication to being a shinobi. a good to your body and it shall treat you well. he bathes regularly before and after training , keeping his hair , nails , and equipment impeccably clean. he firmly believes the body is a temple and one that deserves constant care and gratitude. he is sure to eat all kinds of balanced meals , stay very hydrated , stretches before && after working out / training , and rarely ever neglects his sleep.

❤︎ huge sentimentalist. every gift , card , and letter ever received is kept somewhere special. the thought of someone thinking of him enough to give a gift especially tailored to his liking is enough to make him emotional.

❤︎ incredibly punctual or entirely too early for events. being late is not an option for lee !

❤︎ he is very in tune with his emotions and not afraid to show it !! he tends to be very emotionally invested in other people’s successes , if his friend has suddenly met a personal milestone in life , he’s just as happy if not happier then they are. he sobs at heart felt stories without any remorse or embarrassment as tears are just another way of sincere human expression rather than a sign of weakness in his eyes.

❤︎ not typically the type to hold grudges. if someone is willing to sincerely apologize and puts forth the effort to change , who is he to deny them his forgiveness?

❤︎ worlds worst liar. his facial expressions are always a dead give away. he tends to avoid head-on eye contact when he’s straight up lying. he doesn’t typically lie without reason. ex ; keeping a surprise party from a friend.

❤︎ naturally a heavy-handed , sometimes it’s like he doesn’t even know his own strength. a simple pat on the back with just a bit too much enthusiasm could mildly hurt person receiving his strong affection.

❤︎ not one for any kind of strong swearing or cursing , he just prefers not to. lee isn't innocent or ignorant to the concept of cursing , it simply just isn’t anything hes ever felt the need to do or implement into his vocabulary. he finds it crude and disrespectful; he can be just as expressive and get his point across all the same without the use of vulgarity. though that doesn’t mean he has issues with those who do happen to swear , it’s just not for him.

❤︎ lee has an egregiously large appetite to compensate for how much energy he burns up constantly. he can easily chow down several bowls of food and have room for even more.

❤︎ always a man of his word ! if lee makes a promise , he will move the heavens and the earth to keep it. to him , his word is inseparable from his honor.

❤︎ children love lee , naturally they seem to flock to his cheerful spirit and view him as an older brother or father like figure as he gets older.

❤︎ nicely tanned , but his tan lines are very odd and strongly defined from his clothing and the placement of his bandage wraps. meaning his face , upper arms ( depending on what he’s wearing ) , toes , and the tips of his fingers are the only parts of him quite tanned / exposed to the sun.

❤︎ totally flustered anytime ume genuinly reciprocates his endless affection. he can confidently confess his undying love of a thousand suns with ease , but the moment she pulls him in for a quick kiss on the cheek , he’s wide eyed , flushed , and sputtering. though a kiss like that would be saved for when it’s just the two of them. ume can only be so physically affectionate behind closed doors , away from prying eyes.

❤︎ lee is the only person besides enejima , ume will willingly initiate any kind of physical affection with. she shows affection like a cat ; only when she wants to , which isn’t very often. though she can’t do too much , he feels oh so lucky from something as simple as her hooking her pinkie in his as they walk.

❤︎ gai was the first to find out about their relationship within less than a month of being together. of course , lee tried his best to be desecrate , but I imagine he totally gave himself away asking him hyper-specific questions regarding relationship advice , help with women , and so on.

❤︎ lee is a heavy sleeper; no snoring , no excessive movement , just faint breathing and a limp tangle of limbs. when he’s out , he’s out. ume is also a very heavy sleeper , only difference being she snores like freight train and tends to frantically toss and turn in her sleep. regardless , the two somehow sleep together cohesively and enjoy cuddling. lee prefers being big spoon l

❤︎ loves being involved and participating in ume’s interests and hobbies. whatever she likes , he loves , and wants to be apart of whatever brings her joy! ume has taken a big interest in gardening during her adult life and lee has done nothing but help this hobby flourish to the best of his ability !! he buys seeds , small potted plants , and such to help grow her garden.

❤︎ lee is no stranger to using nicknames , he is a hopeless romantic with a love that knows no bounds when it comes to ume. he uses many floral motifs when referring to her; petnames like "my lotus" or “my flower” are a easy common go-to. he’d use more common petnames like , “my dear/dearest” , “my love” , “angel” or just her name in an extremely sappy and lovey tone. he’s always so unapologeticly cheesy with her.

❤︎ the two have began to subconsciously mimic and pick up each others behaviors. instead of sleeping in , sometimes ume will wake up early and start off her day being productive; stretching a bit or actually showing up to train on time under his influence. lee on the other hand has picked up on some of her more bad behaviors. lee has discovered the joy of afternoon naps and slacking off just a bit on the weekends all thanks to ume. she jokingly calls him lazy to which he insists he’s not. ume is his worst influence.

❤︎ ume’s favorite kind of dates are the most simplistic ones. a quiet picnic , staying at home and cuddling up together , while lee insists on taking her somewhere nice like a restaurant or cafe.

❤︎ he physically cannot lie or keep anything from ume. no matter how hard lee tries , the truth spills from him one way or another. he always tells on himself somehow , especially when it comes to her. not that he keeps stuff from her in the first place , rock lee is a very open book with his partner. always.

❤︎ ume snorts uncontrollably when she gets to laughing hard enough , unfortunately for her , lee has witnessed it first hand. she’s threatened him to mention it to no one. ever. she’s so #embarrassed !!! stawwp

❤︎ genuinely has no idea why ume thinks she’s unattractive. it confuses him. maybe he’s totally biased , but sometimes he wishes , just for a day , he could lend her his eyes and let her see herself from his point of view.

❤︎ ume's favorite thing about lee is his utter commitment to discipline. she’s admires the kind of life he leads , she knows she could never live the way he does , but she admires and respects just how deeply he devotes himself to achieving his goals. that and his fat eyebrows — his eyebrows are easily her favorite physical trait about him , they’re so cute and so is he !!

❤︎ she sorta envies just how easily he’s able to connect and form bonds with other people. how he’s able to strike up conversations with complete strangers and encourage them like a strange super power. how does he not feel weird or awkward about it? she finds its weirdly endearing..? but more so weird. lee is a social weirdo.

a/n : just a bunch of nonsense , whateva ,,, self indulgent umelee !! my theme is suddenly green wow ! but dont get used to it , its for this post only and most likely any other posts related to rock lee because the pink looked wrong and out of place for him. can you tell I don’t know what to put here and this is my first time writing canon character headcanons yet ,, 💧 AHHH !!!!!
