Mornings

1. What would your morning routine look like with him?

Our mornings are quiet, deliberate, and calm. Kai usually wakes up first. His internal clock is sharp. He doesn’t disturb me, instead spending the early moments washing up, preparing tea, and sitting in silence while the world slowly wakes around him. When I stir, he’s already dressed and composed, gently reminding me of the time or silently placing a cup of tea near my side of the bed. If I'm rushing, he’ll wordlessly hand me anything I forgot: keys, my bag, my notes. Always one step ahead. It’s not romantic in a conventional way, but there’s deep care in the routine. His presence grounds me.

2. Does he drink coffee? What kind do you think he would like?

Only when necessary and even then, begrudgingly. He prefers tea by far, but if he needs to stay awake or alert for long hours, he’ll drink a small, dark roast coffee with no cream or sugar. Something strong, bitter, and clean. He doesn’t enjoy it, but he tolerates it like medicine. He would never go for trendy coffee orders and would probably scorn anything sweet or overly processed, though he’d keep mental notes of my preferences without ever asking.

3. How long does it take him to get ready?

Not long at all. Kai is efficient, fastidious and minimal. His grooming is precise but streamlined: washed face, neat hair, fresh clothes. He dresses with purpose and consistency, rarely switching up his routine unless he’s accommodating someone else (like making extra time if I'm using the bathroom or mirror). Fifteen to twenty minutes max, unless something interrupts his focus. Despite the speed, nothing ever feels rushed with him. It’s all sharp, orderly, and clean.

Mealtimes

1. What meal would your husbando prepare for you?

Kai isn’t flashy in the kitchen, but he’s methodical and precise which are traits that make him an unexpectedly excellent cook. He’d likely prepare something clean, nutritious, and balanced, like teriyaki salmon with rice, miso soup, and a simple cucumber salad. Once he gets more comfortable, he might even go the extra mile to make homemade onigiri shaped just the way I like them, quietly noticing my preferences.

2. What are his eating habits like?

Kai eats in measured, mindful portions. He doesn’t snack mindlessly or overeat, His meals are structured and consistent. He eats slowly, carefully and with good posture, always finishing what’s on his plate but never wasting food. That said, if we’re eating together, he’ll subtly adjust to my pace (which would be a while cause I am a really slow eater lol). Over time, he softens. He starts asking if I've eaten, prepares food for both of you, and listens quietly as you chat while he eats. He won’t say it, but he enjoys sharing that space.

3. What kind of dessert does he like most?

He’s not big on sweets, but he does have a subtle appreciation for red bean mochi or yokan-something traditional and not overly sweet. He might share it with me more out of habit than craving, but he doesn't mind that I sometimes lean into sweeter desserts.

4. What kind of beverage does he drink?

Tea, always. Likely green or hojicha—something calming and earthy. He avoids anything sugary or artificial. In colder months, he might keep a thermos of hot tea nearby. Occasionally, he may drink coffee when he’s extremely tired or focused, but tea is his comfort.

5. What restaurant would he take you to? What would he order?

He prefers quiet, tucked-away, traditional Japanese restaurants where the food is clean and the atmosphere peaceful. He’d order a kaiseki meal or something seasonal and light. If it’s my choice, though, he’ll go anywhere and doesn’t show much reaction, but if it makes me happy, he’ll go without hesitation and observe quietly from across the table.

The Dark Nights

1. What are his sleeping habits like?

His sleep used to be fragmented and shallow, haunted by guilt and silence. But now, with time and safety, he’s beginning to sleep more soundly. He doesn’t stay up late unless something’s weighing on him. He prefers routines-same time every night, with his side of the bed neatly arranged.

2. If he can't fall asleep, what will he do?

He won’t toss or turn-he’ll lie still, staring at the ceiling. If it’s really bad, he’ll get up quietly and either sit in another room with a cup of tea or reorganize something small—like books or documents. If I wake up and offer comfort, he won’t say much, but he’ll accept it more than he used to.

3. What would he wear to bed?

Simple and comfortable. A fitted long-sleeve shirt or thermal top and dark lounge pants. He values cleanliness and order, so his sleepwear is always fresh and neatly folded before use. He doesn't care about trends, only practicality.

4. What might he dream about?

His dreams range from fragmented memories of the past—moments with the boss or disjointed images of the compound to abstract dreams of peace, though he’d never admit to the latter. On rare nights, when he feels safe, he might dream of quiet domesticity: sitting beside me, hands brushing, no chaos in sight.

5. Have you ever dreamt about him?

I have dreamt about him before but it happens very rarely. The first time is very blurry for me to recall but I'm sure that I saw Kai as a kid in that dream though it was foggy in there. The second time, he wasn't even physically there. It was just his full name plastered somewhere. The third time was when I was actually able to have a dream about him where he was actually physically present. It lasted for a couple of seconds and it was him holding me up and we were both smiling and giggling but from a third person view.
Coincidentally it was the day that my mother had decided to give me her big ass fluffy goose plush to help me sleep when I said that I was thinking of getting a long pillow when I had that dream. The goose had answered my prayers when I had been praying to have a good dream of my F/O.

There had been two separate times where I had dreamed of a dupe of Kai. One was in the discord server I am in and in the other one, they were in one of the subreddits dedicated to fictos that I used to be a part of. Both times I woke up annoyed because I'm non-sharing when it comes to Kai.

I've had a terrible dream involving him as well. I had posted about my 9 month anniversary with Kai in the aformentioned discord server and after that I had literally dreamed that he died in a brutal, gory way. It was pretty distressing since I absolutely hate gore.

There was a strange dream I had with him as well where I was looking at his wiki page and it was said he was Argentinian for some reason. All that time spent looking at his wiki page to create my shrine dedicated to him didn't do well for my brain it seems lmao.

So yeah, my brain is basically akin to the wild west, giving me the most strangest dreams about Kai. Hopefully I can have more dreams that are actually good where they also involve him physically there.

6. You fall asleep on him! How does he react?

He freezes at first. The contact is unfamiliar and jarring, but he doesn’t move. Over time, he starts to get used to it and maybe even finds it calming. He won't wake me up. If anything, he adjusts slightly to make sure I'm comfortable and lets his hand hover, unsure if he should touch me or not. Eventually, he gives in and rests his hand lightly against my back.

Domestic Life

1. What would it be like to live together?

Quiet, structured, and unexpectedly intimate. He doesn’t demand constant attention, but he notices my habits, accommodates me in small ways, and keeps things tidy. He’ll leave small traces of care like my favorite tea stocked, extra blankets folded neatly where I like them, a note in the hallway reminding me to eat. He finds a strange peace in coexisting with someone.

2. Is your husbando a good driver?

Yes, but he’s extremely strict about road rules. He drives carefully, avoids speeding, and absolutely hates reckless drivers. You won’t find him blasting music or getting distracted. He treats driving like a mission. Efficient, controlled, and quietly confident behind the wheel.

3. What items would he add to the grocery list?

Staples: rice, green vegetables, tofu, fish, miso, tea. Always stocked. He’s frugal and avoids snacks unless I ask for them. Over time, though, he learns my preferences and begins to add things I like without being asked-quiet, thoughtful inclusions that show he pays attention.

4. How would you arrange your belongings to fit together?

I'm the type of person to have accumulated all sorts of things over time. Things like trinkets, knickknacks, books, cards that I used to access arcades and playplaces and other random things I refuse to throw away because of the memories I have associated with them. I am a sentimental person as you can tell.
Kai doesn't have much stuff with him in the first place so I imagine we'd be able to make it work easily if he's able to lend some moral support while I look through some of my belongings and throw away anything deemed unnecessary.

By the end of it, it would be an organized mess, mirroring how we are as a couple.

Kai's Preferences

1. What are his favourite things?

Silence. Clean spaces. The scent of fresh tatami. The weight of his gloves. Watching me from across a room while I'm focused on something I love. Routine, control, and order. But lately, against his better judgment, he’s begun to like the warmth of shared space and the presence of someone who isn’t afraid of him.

2. What are some things he dislikes/hates?

Loud environments, filth, disrespect, being touched unexpectedly, The League of Villains, weak leadership, sympathy he hasn’t asked for, being reminded of his past failures, crowds and more than anything: being pitied.

3. Would he like a pet? What kind?

Initially, no. They are too messy and too unpredictable. But if I wanted one, he wouldn’t protest. Over time, he might grow fond of something small and quiet, like a rabbit or a cat. He’d never admit it, but he’d start feeding it and making sure it’s warm before bed. The first time it curls up next to him, he stiffens and then accepts it. Quietly. Carefully.
