Midori is not a good lover
The REAL Sou Hiyori relationship headcanons <3
first off, you don’t know if he genuinely likes you or not and most likely will never be sure
Maybe you’re a piece of pawn in his stupid chess game but what can you do?
Midori manipulates and gaslights you just like with anyone else, you’re the primary victim that receives most of it though
He seems like a man that didn’t have a heart, and he literally doesn’t
Feels like he doesn’t know how to act in a relationship or more like he doesn’t care enough to
You think he’d choose his work over you anytime
He’s so on and off with his affection
He treats you like everyone else, particularly more strict with you sometimes and scolds you more often than the other participants
This fucker is adamant about “being fair to all participants and not letting a personal relation change that” and yet you feel like he’s being the most unfair to you
Even more passive aggressive when it comes to you, he loves to bring up the past and laugh when you get pissed
But then sometimes, he would appear out of nowhere and gives you a quick peck
You’d expect him to be open to PDA, and yet he only ever initiates (and allows) any affection when it’s just the two of you
You’re conflicted, though, at certain times he’ll choose a timing where most of everyone is gathered in one place and approach you with the most affection you’ll ever receive from him
He makes sure everyone is looking, maybe it’s his way of showing his twisted sense of superiority?
Midori very quickly reverts back to ignoring you if he is satisfied
You learn that he is extremely possessive
Yes, you get fed up with his shit many times and he knows it well
Does he ever apologize? Never.
Like ever.
You could confront him, but he’ll give you the same saccharine smile and feigns innocence
“What’s wrong with me showing my lover off to everyone? Does that upset you?”
When you try to explain that’s not why you’re upset, he convinces you that you’re overreacting and somehow makes you seem like the bad guy for “not wanting to be seen with him.” (bitchass)
Weirdly loves small talk
Midori would interrogate you whenever he pleases and ask about your favorite color to wear on a rainy day
You cant tell if he really cares about your responses at all because he just stands there and blinks with his smile and throws follow up questions at you
Kind of feels like he wants to know everything about you but also nothing at the same time
Remembers small, itty bitty details about you
It’s endearing but also freaks you out because he remembers which angle you prefer to wear your collar
Very touchy when he wants to be, but acts like a jerk when he decides he doesn’t feel like it
Limited use of pet names because he prefers calling you by your name
Will call you sweetheart (mockingly most of the time), “my favorite participant,” or a shortened version of your name
Likes to receive but doesn’t give, unless he needs something
You don’t know why you’re still with him
Midori is very good at making you feel special but also worthless
Will give you overly expensive presents that you don’t need and stare at your reaction as you open them
(does he think this makes up for his neglect as a partner?)
Very likely to give you jewelry with his initials, he might have one with your initials but won’t wear it
Sucks at comforting
He actually just doesn’t comfort at all
He makes things worse when you’re upset
“You’re crying? Humans really are sentimental beings, after all. I guess crying is all that you’re capable of.”
Let you play and style with his hair in private
Gets defensive and change the subject when you mention Shin’s history with him
Avoids personal questions like the plague
Actively tries to poke into every corner of your life. Boundaries? What’s that?
Not a very good partner, he’s just not a good person in general
Midori rarely mentions your relationship in front of the other participants, but when he does, he refers to you as his lover
Will pair you with him with the red light, he knows you don’t have the guts to kill him
Urges you on to kill him way too often
He gives you a smug knowing grin and a kiss when you can’t do it
Don’t try to physically hurt him, it turns him on (he won’t hesitate to break your arm)
Remember when I said he’s very possessive?
Fucker treats you like an object
no one takes what belongs to him
Won’t be the type to defend you and won’t fight if someone hits on you
He would direct the conversation elsewhere and weird out whoever it is somehow (always works)
Shows up a few days later with news that the attacker mysteriously jumped of a building (willingly?)
His romantic side is very unconventional
“Would you love me even if I was a worm?”
“Worms are rather dirty and invasive, are they not? I’d rather not deal with a pest, thanks.”
