MY BONTEN MEN RANDOM HEADCANONS
MIKEY: is cold-hearted and doesn't care for people who can't bring him any benefit. his love for sweet food is his old wish to have sweet good life and him knowing that it all shattered because of him.
RAN: considering he wanted to become an idol, I headcanon he loves singing in the shower, imagining the shower head to be a microphone. (Rindou always records his singing and sends to bonten chat, which makes Ran super angry).
RINDOU: he used to be worried by being overshadowed by his brother, but now he's matured and knows his own worth (just as he learnt to be proud of victories of both of them)
KOKO: I believe he's a perfectionist. everything has to be ideal. all the documents, all the bills, everything has to be perfectly in order. even his home he usually keeps clean and without any little mess.
KAKUCHO: I think he still is insecure about his scar. I think even when he had Izana, he was really insecure about it which led him to be careful around people (especially new people). he doesn't like when people stare at his scar especially with pity.
SANZU: I feel like in the past he was pretty insecure about his scars, and we all know how cruel kids can be (even if you can beat them down (which he probably did and everyone labeled him as a freak after that)), and that might have led to how he turned out to be in bonten timeline. I also headcanon he loves weapons and probably has a big collection of different ones (though he still holds dearly to himself his katana).
MOCHI: I believe he's a very grounded person. never gets lost in his dreams, but is content with what real life can bring him. but sometimes he wonders, what might happen if he ever leaves bonten (and let's be honest, he doesn't want to actually find out what Mikey (or Sanzu) can and will do to him)
TAKEOMI: i think he's deeply stuck in his past when he failed to protect Sanzu and failed to be a good brother for both him and Senju. I believe he has many regrets and stays with bonten kind of because of Sanzu (and Mikey too)
BONTEN MEN and what element their love is like
────────｡ﾟ•┈୨♡୧┈• ｡ﾟ────────
MIKEY: Mikey's love is like air. always changing. sometimes it's light and soft and sometimes it's strong, passionate, and even dark at times. but just like the strong hurricane, these times die as well, leaving calm little wind, flowing around your love
RAN: Ran's love is fire. bright and passionate, he'll have no hard time showing you his affection in the most suggestive ways. his love burns brightly just as he does himself, shining with his light just for you
RINDOU: while Ran's love is fire, Rindou's is water. ever-changing and fluid, he's soft yet passionate in the most unpredictable ways. sometimes it turns into a dark storm when you're facing arguments, but be patient and the troubled waters will calm down
SANZU: Sanzu's love is air. he might seem like he has wind in his head, but he's actually very careful with his love. no one ever dares to hurt his significant other because if they do, he'll make sure they regret it. his love is like a hurricane at times — mesmerizing yet dangerous. be careful, it might hurt you, but he always regrets it when the winds calm down. he treats his significant other as the Queen meanwhile Mikey is his one and true King, so he devotes himself only to you two
KOKO: Koko's love is earth. he's very grounded and prefera stability, that's why your relationships are perfect in each and every way. you always have enough of his affection and you rarely face any big arguments, calmly talking everything over even before they start
KAKUCHO: Kakucho's love is fire. he's very passionate towards his significant other and never hesitates to tell you or show you how much he loves you. his fire burns bright but it burns to make you feel warm and comfortable, and to never hurt you, so don't be scared if he ever gets too passionate towards you
MOCHI: Mochi's love is earth. calm and reserved, he treats his significant other as his equal, that's why your relationships are just like that — soft and sweet. but sometimes Earth faces earthquakes, but don't be scared, they will never hurt you. at least, never physically and absolutely never intentionally
TAKEOMI: Takeomi's love is water. fluid but everything is reserved and calm, just as rivers that rarely face huge storms. his love is passionate, yet it's hidden somewhere inside and he rarely shows all the extents of it. but he still loves you a lot and holds dearly to himself

BONTEN MEN and LOVE headcanons
(sad in Mikey's and Takeomi's, pretty dark in Sanzu's)
────────｡ﾟ•┈୨♡୧┈• ｡ﾟ───────
MIKEY: he's afraid of falling in love. afraid he's gonna hurt the most precious person to him so he shuts himself behind many walls and doors, on a thousand locks, hiding himself from everyone. he doesn't believe he's able to fall in love anymore and even if he is, he'll always be afraid of hurting them.
RAN: believes in "love yourself, only then anyone will love you". he probably claims he doesn't believe in love at first sight, but actually that might be exactly the way he'd fall in love. he might tight his significant other close and then let go and then it's gonna be like that over and over again, just because he's never actually fallen in love and he doesn't know how to make it right.
RINDOU: is very self-conscious because of his brother. if he ever falls in love, he'll be always afraid you'd leave him for Ran (pls, tell him you'll never do so (but only tell the truth, because Rindou hates being lied to and can always tell when someone is lying to him)).
KOKO: doesn't think he can fall in love ever again. even if he let go of Akane, he's just not ready to fall in love with anyone else, therefore he practically gets married to his job, working as much as he can. but if he falls in love ever again, it's gonna last long and he'll be very attentive towards his significant other and their interests.
KAKUCHO: doesn't believe anyone can fall in love with him, though at the same time is eager to be loved. once someone says they love him, he'll hold them dearly (but he will let them go, if their significant other ever tells them their feelings towards him have changed).
SANZU: doesn't believe in love. his life led him to believing only his king deserves his dedication and that everything else isn't worth his attention. he's probably gonna look like at a bug at anyone who ever mentions they like him, because they aren't his king, therefore he doesn't need to give his admiration to them. (he'll probably end up being the most toxic boyfriend out of all, sometimes sweet and caring, and sometimes a mental abuser)
MOCHI: if he ever falls in love, he's gonna treat his significant other as an equal to him. he's never gonna raise a fist on them, treating them as the most precious person in the whole world. he's trustworthy in every single aspect.
TAKEOMI: is afraid of falling in love and being a bad dad. he's always haunted by the reminder of how bad of an older brother he was, that's why he's afraid of being a bad dad, that's why he's afraid of falling in love. that's why he promises himself to not fall in love ever (just as Mikey does).

BONTEN MEN when you catch a cold because im currently sick, i need some fluff and someone to take care of me (￣ﾊ￣*)
────────｡ﾟ•┈୨♡୧┈• ｡ﾟ────────
MIKEY: cares for you a lot, brings you his favorite food and legit gets sad if you say you don't wanna eat anything (pls eat at least a bit, don't make him sad). he absolutely will lay himself next to you even when you tell him not to because that way he'll be sick too (he'll just say he doesn't care and wants to cuddle with you)
RAN: worries a lot, but is calm and takes care of you well, as he used to take care of his brother when he got sick too. Ran is really good at it. but he says it's only because he loves you so much
RINDOU: extremely worries. like EXTREMELY. always asks if you need anything and always makes sure you have everything you might need. makes you drink lots of warm tea, covers you with lots of blankets and makes you rest a lot
SANZU: he's a drama queen. he'll panic a lot and will legit ask you if you're dying (pls, tell him you're not or he's gonna go crazy). but he also does everything you ask from him and is extremely soft during that time. though teases you just a bit ("my doll needs something? doll needs to ask me with a kiss first". smack him on his head slightly, but give him a kiss and he's all yours)
MOCHI: he looks super serious, but it's because he's worried. is really careful and soft with you when you're sick, and is really really caring. just ask him whatever you need and he'll get that. tea? warm blanket? his hugs? absolutely
KOKO: you need a pack of tissues? here, have 10 of the best quality he could find. you want some tea of a flavor you don't have at home? he'll get it. when you're sick, he'll get you everything without you even asking
KAKUCHO: he's the best. the softest, the one who takes care of you so well. brings you lots of blankets and pillows, makes you your favorite tea and snacks and you two just watch something quietly on TV, while cuddling (he gives you head kisses in the process)
TAKEOMI: is good at it. he knows everything the man might need to know about taking care of someone sick. makes you drink warm tea, have a bottle of water near with your bed (because you have to drink a lot) and gives you your favorite piece of clothes of his. a shirt? a hoodie? whatever it is, it's yours for now

KOKO: the woman who gives you weird looks when you dance in the supermarket
MOCHI: the old woman you don't even know who gives you a lecture right on the street, because you bought a "bad" ice-cream (who cares, I like it even tho it's cheap and unhealthy)
