Sora

Sora, who already has a huge heart when it comes to others, will go the extra mile when he’s interested in someone. He’ll do whatever it takes, use whatever ridiculous antics are necessary to make that person laugh and smile. He may be kind of nervous and jittery around his crush but, ultimately, he doesn’t see the point in not being honest about something like that. 

In a relationship, he isn’t the overly mushy romantic type, but he’ll constantly be doing little things to show his partner that he cares about them. Leaving them silly love notes, for instance, or randomly decorating their house with balloons. While he isn’t always the most observant person, he’s very perceptive when it comes to his partner’s feelings, and will usually be able to tell when something is off. He doesn’t like confrontation, but he won’t shy away from it if he feels it’s necessary to clear the air. Lots of little things throughout the day will remind him of his partner– funny things he sees, songs he hears– and he’ll take the time to let them know he’s thinking about them. 

He’s drawn most to someone who appreciates his zany sense of humor and who’s willing to do fun things with him. He loves going on adventure dates but also sometimes just having laid-back beach days. He does best with someone down-to-earth and a little a lot more responsible than he is when it comes to everyday things like making sure the stove is turned off, getting to places on time, etc. Someone with a similarly adventurous spirit but who can also keep him grounded. He loves it when his partner does simple, pragmatic things like cook a meal for him or wash his laundry… He enjoys being cared for in a physical way, and he might take it for granted sometimes but he’s generally pretty good about letting his partner how much he appreciates them.

He sees intimacy as a natural extension of the way he feels about his partner, so he isn’t particularly shy or self-conscious in that realm. He might be a little pushy about it– not in an aggressive way, but in the way of “I care about you a lot, and I want to express that to you physically.” Ultimately, though, he’ll let his partner set the pace, and is happy to stick with kisses and cuddling until they’re ready to take things further. He isn’t shy about PDA, either, but he sticks with the innocent stuff when out in public (holding hands, forehead kisses, things like that). If you care about the person you’re with, he figures, why hold back from showing it?

• Strengths: Loves fully, selflessly, unabashedly. Has a knack for getting his partner to open up and live life to the fullest, to find joy in simple things.
• Weaknesses: Can be absent-minded about things like anniversaries, date nights, etc. Open to talking things out, but not always willing to tackle the really difficult stuff right away. Feels overly responsible for partner’s happiness and for making sure they’re emotionally okay at all times.

Riku

It’s rare that Riku is interested in somebody enough to want to pursue them, but, when he is, he locks in with laser-like focus and may start finding it difficult to concentrate on anything else. Intense feelings of longing and inadequacy will surface– He wants to be with the person he’s focused on more than anything, but, at the same time, he’s plagued by self-doubt and anxieties. What if he’s not good enough for them, what if he doesn’t deserve to be with someone like that…? He’s pretty good at keeping a neutral facade up, so it’s likely that the person he’s interested in won’t notice for a while (if at all). He may even be aloof and standoffish towards them or start avoiding them altogether. Finally, though, when it gets to be too much for him, he’ll work up the nerve to just go for it and tell the person how he feels– often with a direct yet uncharacteristically clumsy delivery.

While he isn’t a very demonstrative person in general, the depth and intensity of his feelings belie the unaffected front he tends to put on. He shows his affection by being willing to do anything for his partner. Consequently, he may become overly protective and borderline possessive of them. More than anything, he wants to feel wanted by his partner– And not only wanted, but needed. He values his own space and autonomy, however, so it’s difficult for him to be around someone 24/7 no matter how much he enjoys being with them.  

He’s drawn most to kindness, to optimistic people who love life and have big hearts. He’s in his own head a lot of the time so he does best with a partner who can help him to sort of not take things so seriously and just live in the moment every now and then. As someone who tends to bottle up his emotions, he does best with a patient, expressive partner who isn’t shy about showing how much they care about and value him.

He’s not big into PDA and actually gets sort of embarrassed if his partner tries to get touchy in front of others. In private, however, he welcomes physical contact and declarations of affection. It takes a lot of prompting on his partner’s part before he’s comfortable enough to reciprocate, but the sincerity of his words and actions once he does can’t be doubted. Takes intimacy very seriously– to him, it isn’t just a physical act but something deeply personal and almost sacred– so he prefers to wait until he’s sure both he and his partner are 100% ready.

• Strengths: Incredibly loyal and devoted, loves intensely, will do anything for someone he cares about 
• Weaknesses: Prone to jealousy and possessiveness, can have trouble with self-doubt and with expressing his thoughts & feelings

Kairi

When Kairi likes someone, she’ll be playful and coy around them, making sure to give them plenty of hints that she’s interested and opportunities for them to ask her out. Only after she’s exhausted all resources and the person still hasn’t made a move will she take charge and, exasperated but fondly, tell them how she feels about them– hoping they feel the same!

She loves doing nice things for her partner and surprising them with fun things to do or thoughtful gifts. An articulate communicator, she’s pretty good at expressing her feelings and doesn’t see much reason not to be open about them. She’s a good listener and encourages her partner to open up, letting them know that she wants to hear what they have to say. Overall nonjudgmental and easy to talk to. She loves to spend time with the person she cares about and would do (mostly) everything with them if she could, but she likes her space every once in a while and doesn’t mind giving her partner the same when they need it. 

She has days where she loves staying busy, but then days where she doesn’t want to do anything but curl up on the couch and watch movies, so she’s happiest with a partner who can be easygoing and flexible in that way. Her ideal partner is someone who can make her laugh and who appreciates all the little things that she likes to do for them. 

She doesn’t like being overly, in-your-face affectionate in public (always conscious of making other people uncomfortable), but she does like holding hands with her partner, leaning her head against their shoulder, that sort of thing. She’s relatively confident and uninhibited in terms of being intimate, able to focus more on her partner than on herself. She doesn’t see being intimate with someone in terms of a timeline, but rather in terms of when it feels right. 

• Strengths: Affection is sincere and genuine, always thoughtful, overall easygoing and lets things happen as they happen
• Weaknesses: Prone to getting exasperated and having a hot temper (though it’s short-lived), can fall into I-know-what’s-best mindset and try to direct the relationship too much at times
