DRAGONFLY, TSUNBRO.

It's a good thing Shark understands the tsundere type or Dragonfly would confuse the fuck out of him. At first he thought Dragonfly was just really cranky and then he learned by observation, really quickly, that he's.... Really cranky but lovingly. So he likes Dragonfly. A lot. He thinks he's a good person though all his focus on fashion makes Shark sideeye a little in ??? because he doesn't get the appeal. But whatever, that's what Dragonfly is into!

He hasn't yet bonded deeply with Dragonfly, but he's had more interaction with him than he has a lot of the team, and he kind of sees Dragonfly and Kit as his two bros. Also, since Dragonfly is TEAM Shark has the default sort of protective feels for him.

He worries about upsetting Dragonfly, and like with the last game would rather internalize his own emotions and try to be light and comforting and calming even if he's freaking out, to keep Dragonfly from doing so. He hasn't had as much of a chance to get to know Dragonfly's personality as deeply or his moods, but he does think he's fun to hang out with and fun to talk to and tease and be teased by, so he's not super protective of Dragonfly's feelings there, just in more upsetting situations. Otherwise he's fine with bickering lightly with Dragonfly, or plotting to tie Kit up, or whatever they talk about.

Basically he worries Dragonfly is a little fragile but mostly sees him as a fun tsunbro to have.

Reverse~?

Mikado is kind of a neat relationship in the sense that he was the first newbie in a while where he does not automatically assign the "NEED TO PROTECT" feelings on! I mean obviously he had them at the beginning and before the last game, but afterwards, Hikaru is realizing that Mikado is a lot more competent than he appears on the surface.

THIS IS IMPORTANT! Because Hikaru for a very long time was pretty much the "baby" of the team in the sense that he was the youngest and was indeed the most fragile of the group (except with MAYBE Shirley but she was still at least older). He's a rich kid whose memories focus on LOVE and BEING RICH okay so obviously Aather is waaaaay away from his normal element. He's basically used to being taken care of.

And then three members of Coral left and he ended up with Madoka, Cub, and Tear who had the memories of a four year old at the time. Suddenly he was pressured into a position where he needed to be the one protecting people in a very short amount of time. HE ISN'T USED TO THAT BUT HE REALLY DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE! And then Tear was booked which he felt awful for because Van was big bro! HE UNDERSTOOD BIG BRO FEELINGS SO IT KIND OF FELT LIKE A FAILURE.

TL;DR background leads me back to Mikado! This recent game has proven that Mikado is in fact pretty strong in a sense that Hikaru wasn't really able to predict and it actually calms down his nerves a lot! To him, it seems like Mikado likes Coral the same way Hikaru does so he'll value Coral in games like these. THEY ALSO AGREE ON THINGS LIKE KIT BEING RECKLESS or what not! These are just some examples, but what's important is that from this point on, Hikaru WILL trust Mikado to take some hits if Mikado really wants to because Mikado pretty much proved himself that he could. :|b And that Hikaru doesn't have to sit and protect him which kind of relieves a lot of stress on his shoulders. IN A WAY, IT'S SELFISH FOR HIKARU, but it's also a type of respect on top of it.

THIS IS JUST THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR ATM THAT STICKS OUT. He also adores Mikado because he's easy to poke fun of, and he feels more at a closer level to him than to some of the others because of age and maturity levels! HE FEELS LIKE A FRIEND, A CLASSMATE, some sort of equal! It's nice. '^'

SORRY IF THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, I'M KIND OF A BRAINDEAD FISH TONIGHT.

THREE FAVORITE MIKADO ICONS?

Awww Dragonfly. shark really doesn't mind taking the role of not needing protection, honestly, will actively seek out a more defensive role for Coral. Like, I keep thinking of the team as Choral Reef and Shark as a shark circling them really... Protectively and viciously.

But yeah he likes hanging with Dragonfly and agreeing and being dumb teenage boys with him. Having that level of equal feeling is nice for him too, which is probably a reason he naturally likes/relaxes with Dragonfly and his tsun.

ALSO DO I HAVE TO PICK I SUCK AT PICKING FAVORITE ICONS.

Tell me about Dragonfly and his general team relations and how they changed from when he arrived to now?
