Alright, here's the little relationship blurb for each character I'm planning to add to his sheet, based on what we've talked about so far. These are less the objective facts of their relationship and more how he sees them from his perspective.<br/><br/><strong>Xerana:</strong>With perhaps the exception of a few school crushes that went nowhere, Kiyoshi considers Xero to be his first true love. Originally he saw her as just a figure of seniority, and then a mentor, but those feelings steadily changed as they worked together longer and longer. After all there are only so many times a beautiful person can save your life before you fall madly in love with them. These feelings used to make him feel conflicted, even scared. Between her authority and the sincerity of his feelings in an insincere world, Kiyo felt about as vulnerable around her as you can get. However now he's not just learned to accept that vulnerability, but to embrace it, surrendering himself to her fully, both physically and metaphorically. Though their relationship has deepened, he still looks to her as a mentor and leader, and as such values her input even above his own at times.<br/><br/>Love rituals: Always offers her a bite of his food whenever he's eating. Lets her nip and nibble on him. Spoils the solution whenever he catches her working on a puzzle (also counts as goading into rough play).<br/><br/><strong>Evie:</strong>Evie was admittedly an acquired taste for Kiyo, his initial attraction to her far more physical than emotional. Fortunately that physical attraction was very strong. He already knew from Xero that he liked women with authority and power, but it wasn't until Evie that he realized it might have straight up been a kink. There's something about being held tenderly in a pair of arms that could also choke the life out of him that speaks to him on an oddly spiritual level. However as he acclimated to her idiosyncrasies and touched into her soft spot, he's come to understand and appreciate her on a deeper level. Now he very much loves his muscle mommy with all his heart.<br/><br/>Love rituals: Giving her casual massages, often without prompting or acknowledgement. He's not really phased by her teasing or jokes, but will sometimes play along and give her the reactions he thinks she wants. Will sit in her lap when she's in her wheelchair and make her ride them around (playing to her ego, instead of offering to assist her, which would be seen as patronizing, he makes it harder for her so she can show off how strong and unhindered she is).<br/><br/><strong>Naomi:</strong>Being the newest and youngest among the group, Kiyo takes it upon himself to try to look after Naomi. He sees part of himself in how warded and slow to trust she is, and as such makes a concerted effort to make her feel welcome. There's also an element of role reversal to how his other relationships are, as he's her senior and thus gets to be the one to dote on her. While his feelings aren't heavily romantic yet, he still shows her plenty of affection.<br/><br/>Love rituals: Often offers to take her along when he's running errands or going out on the town, while assuring she's free to decline. Physical training. Head pats and playing with/styling her hair. Having "secret" conversations in Japanese (also meant to mess with the others).
