Relationship & Headcanons

Relationship Dynamic

Childhood friends that grew up together - best friends first, lovers second. Fully comfortable around each other, speak their minds unfiltered. Setsuna might be a bit brutally honest sometimes, Hina brushes it off as him being himself. Hina might tease Setsuna a bit too much sometimes. Though both are very quiet overall and rarely show physical affection, they find comfort in having someone who understands the other so deeply, healing from the pain of the past in acknowledging they aren't alone in it.

How their express their love

• Hina → Setsuna: Cooking for Setsuna (traditional food or desserts). Taking him on ice cream dates. Singing lullabies as to cloud bad memories when he sleeps. Studying his first language. Drawing him. Building gunpla of his units. Headpatting him & squishing his cheeks.
• Setsuna → Hina: Watching over her. Being the protector (He claims that's part of being a Gundam). He seems to return her efforts by singing random love songs in her first language sometimes. He gets her gifts, or uses his powers to make things happen around her, but tries to pretend it was all a coincidence.

• Setsuna → Hina: "She's just a kid all alone (flashbacks to what happened to his friends in KPSA) I'm Gundam, the least I can do is protect a kid. I'll check on her... Maybe get some food while I'm there."
