SaiShira HCs
Shuichi never gets closer than Tenko is comfortable with.
Ever.
She sets her own boundaries, and Shuichi knows that the key to breaking down Tenko's walls is to respect her boundaries, first and foremost.
And slowly, Tenko begins to warm up to him.
Allowing him to hold her hand, no longer requesting for him to get a sex change, allowing Shuichi to sleep beside her, etcetera.
Surprisingly... Tenko is very sweet as Shuichi's girlfriend! More sweet than any of their friends could've imagined!
Sometimes, late at night, Tenko will undo her hair and Shuichi will make a comment about it looking messy. Tenko will ask him to brush her hair out.
And he does! He styles her hair and Tenko usually ends up blissed out by this, if not passed out.
Shuichi does most of the cooking, since Tenko can absolutely not be trusted around fire. However, Tenko isn't lazy, either. She does the cleaning, in return. Sue isn't very good and Shuichi usually ends up doing it again, but she tries, and that's all Shuichi cares about.
The two tend not to fight much. Shuichi values his knees, thank you.
Tenko is a sucker for the cutesy stuff she sees in anime, and tries to re-enact a lot of it. It... rarely goes as planned, if ever.
She wants to fall in a cute way and have Shuichi help her up?
...She falls on her face and ends up with a bruise.
Poor Tenko just... can't win when it comes to being cute.
Not that it matters, because Shuichi already thinks she's plenty cute, and tries his best to play along with her fantasies, anyway. Why not at least try to make his girlfriend happy?
Shuichi is a sweetheart to Tenko overall. He tries to be patient with her, knowing healing takes time. Especially from a mindset with such a vice-like grip and such toxicity as her old one.
In return for Shuichi's kindness, Tenko protects him.
Very well, if I might add.
Kokichi, Angie, and Tsumugi no longer have the opportunity to tease him. Maki no longer can threaten him. Miu can no longer flirt with him or make him uncomfortable.
Anyone who tries to mess with or harm Shuichi will find themselves on the other end of Tenko's fists.
Whenever they're out and they pass by claw machines, Tenko points and furiously demands that Shuichi win her a stuffed animal to prove his love to her.
Shuichi ends up spending twenty dollars before Tenko finally reveals that she was only joking and never actually expected anything from him.
Occasionally, Tenko will pick Shuichi up bridal style and carry him like that... in public.
This greatly flusters Shuichi, while Tenko gets to be smug about it. She's used to being the one who gets flustered in public, after all! She deserves a turn to be the flusterer, not the flusteree!
Speaking of... Shuichi compliments Tenko a lot, causing very flustered, red-faced reactions from the Ultimate Aikido Master. This leads to Tenko getting teased a lot.
Occasionally, Shuichi wakes up with nightmares due to his profession.
He sees grisly, horrific cases all the time, and there are times he can't get the screams, the cries, the wails of grieving family members out of his head.
Or worse, the times he has to be the one to inform family members that their loved one is gone. Especially young children.
During these times, Tenko's pride goes out the window completely, it seems. She brings Shuichi into her chest and runs her fingers through his hair, whispering soft words of comfort to him and rocking him in her arms like a baby.
Shuichi patches up all of Tenko's injuries that she gets from her Aikido matches, and Tenko does the same for him when he gets injuries from work, as well.
Really, they've both got very dangerous jobs, and for what-?
Tenko encourages Shuichi to eat healthy and exercise regularly, fawning over him incessantly when he does so and regularly singing his praises.
All in all, they're not perfect, but what couple is?
They love each other and wouldn't change that for the world.
And really... that's all that matters.
