YAAYYYY!!! Nveons i love your MCs soso much and I will spoil them with food and gifts and candy and cheek pinches—
but,, a certain manga leak is making me experience the whole 5 stages of grief rn and im sorry for making this kinda angsty TT
Fio🪻
Runie wouldnt try to be close to her in Step 1. She finds her super pretty though! But I feel like he’d misunderstand her aloofness and shyness for disgust for his strength and he’d respect her wishes by staying away.
Step 2 they would try to stay even MORE away from her. He still feels ashamed and repulsed by his strength so he doesnt even want to get close lest they scare her away or worse, hurt her accidentally. So he only looks at her from afar, really wanting to be her friend but at the same time content with the distance he put.
in Step 3 Runie would finally accept his strength for what it is and that its a part of him that will never really change. I’d like to think that because of it, him and Fio start getting close because they share a class together and got partnered up and THATS how Runie realises “Oh.. you’re actually goofy?! What the heck?!” He doesnt hide his strength from her when he sees that she isnt afraid (if i get your characterization wrong PLEASE say so TwT) and basically becomes her annoying little brother figure LOL.
Omake + He leaves her baked sweets on her desk with a crocheted flower tied around it whenever she has a different class or when theyre about to leave school.
Jude ⭐️
Runie in Step 1 would take one look at Jude and think “..Will he get a heartattack if I approach him suddenly?” And immediately back track to where he was because one, he doesnt want to intimidate the kid, lord knows how many times that happened. And Two, it seems like he wants to be left alone so he didnt wanna crowd around him.
(Although I think that earned him like a general Runie shield, whenever a ball or something almost hits Jude, Runie is immediately there saving him. They flash the boy a quick smile before leaving.)
Step 2 would be Runie kind of,, feeling a bit disappointed and worried for Jude. Because he knows how that feels when he experienced it at his old school. The need to change yourself to fit in, forcing yourself to become someone youre not and sometimes forgetting who you were. He doesnt get close to him because of that because it reminded him of himself. He doesnt dislike Jude! He’s still a bit protective over him and Fio but he doesnt want to be friends with someone who doesnt seem genuine enough to like him.
Step 3 would of course be the breakthrough, i would imagine Jude being the first one to approach Runie and thank them for protecting him for a while. And Runie would let him get close because he seems genuine now! And Runie likes it when people dont force themselves to like him or other people too. They become a really unnatural duo, with how their personalities dont match each others at all, but it doesnt mean they arent compatible as friends. I think theyd be really chill with eachother, like how capybaras look chilling? Thats them i believe HAHAHA
(Sorry for the long ramble but it felt too good to info dump eueu and again im sorry for mischaracterising your characters if I did!)
