QUICK INFO

- THEY LOOK LIKE YAOI ARCHETYPES BUT whispers their personalities are equally terror--.
- SONA CHASES ICA'S TAIL FOR KICKS, BUT ENDS UP FALLING ON HIS FACE.... ACCIDENTALLY....

- being unused to this treatment sona starts to... subconsciously change his game plan!! so like he ends up developing this tendency to try REALLY HARD to woo ica... and being embarrassed/reverting back to his teasey/tsun/sarcastic self when he realizes that he's trying too hard--
- IT'S A PRETTY INTENSE RELATIONSHIP. BUT IT GETS PRETTY SWEET??? Y...ES...
- HA.............. HA.....................
- THEY'RE PRETTY DOMESTIC OVERALL. AND BECOME BETTER PEOPLE BECAUSE OF EACH OTHER 8__8
SONA!! | OC belongs to cae
|
- Aged: 28! a doodle w/ REALLY GOOD HAIR nie did HOHOHO;; refsheet
- PERSONALITY-WISE: Exactly the same as Sonako, albeit more mature and (even less) sociable due to his age and experiences! AKA an overly confident, intense and frosty-ass glamrock tsun!
- HAS A BIG HEART, but he shows it in a very harsh way!!! his guarded nature lends him to being INCREDIBLY WARY letting people know he cares 8__8 LOL HE'S THE TYPE OF PERSON THAT WILL RAILL ON YOU FOR ASKING FOR HELP/SHOWING WEAKNESS... then turn his head and ask if you're okay...
- but he ignores/leers @everyone else
- though Sona wears his hair long, dresses like a *~lady*~ and has *~long eyelashes~* his height in conjunction with his vibe is TOTALLY MASCULINE.
- HE JUST LIKES PRETTY CLOTHES AND FASHION BECAUSE HIS CARE FOR GENDER NORMS IS nonexistent AND HE BELIEVES THE WAY HE LOOKS AND DRESSES IS INDICATIVE OF HIS STYLE WHICH IS SYNONYMOUS WITH HIS IDENTITY. BOTH OF WHICH HE IS VERY PROUD OF so proud. he will snap at and/or get defensive toward people with his intimidatingly /cold/ STARE AND WORDS yes. this also comes a lot from his past which i'll explain like later.
ICARIUS!! | OC belongs to nie
|
- ica comes from a v. nice famiri w/ his mom+her husband and they're stupidly in love w/ each other/chase each other around the house/still flirt w/ one another in their middleage....
- which makes ica all 8 | WHY ARE YOU GUYS SO DUMB
- having been taught how to woo girls very effectively from his princely step-dad (?), ica is something of a lady's man prior to meeting sona!
- ofc it all throws ica off when he finds himself being wooed randomly by sona..................................
BASELINE INFORMATION
- Sona is a glamourous rock bassist!! With this overly fabulous persona, it has been PRETTY EASY dating-wise because people tended to fall for stage presence and pretty looks (LOL CAE YOU'RE NOT EVEN DISGUISING IT). HOWEVER, as he cycles through countless girlfriends and boyfriends, it all starts to bore him. What's also particularly frustrating on his part is that SONA IS ACTUALLY PRETTY RECLUSIVE/INTROVERTED/GUARDED! So, this causes a lot of insecurities, if not boredom on the part of the other person!
- It gets to a point where he's just about had it with people and just wants a single low-key relationship wherein a person simultaneously fawns over him while giving him alone... time... HA HA.
- HE MEETS ICA AS ICA IS HIS BAND PHOTOGRAPHER'S (older!Glim) ASSISTANT. ICA upon entering the studio to help prepare some equipment immediately *~notices*~ Sona b/c Sona tends to give off that strong vibe/stage presence!!!
- and he thinks sona is Very Attractive.... but being sensible is like UH.... he's a rockstar we are of two different worlds....and p. much doesn't register anything other than the fact that sona indeed is Very Attractive
- and this is esp so when ica does sona's makeup and sona doesn't really notice him
- Ica inadverdantly gets Sona's attention though when Ica decides to play w/ some of the guitars backstage... having picked up a few things from his mom's husband (who is also a music professor).
- SONA PEGS ICA AS BEING A SHY/SHELTERED LITTLE KID (albeit a cute one whoops) ESP WHEN ICA IS A BIT TAKEN BACK AND IS LIKE "OH SHIT SORRY ABOUT THE GUITARS."
- So, in a totally because-he-can moment, Sona smoothly goes "You free after the shoot?"
- ICA GOES ???????? IS HE ASKING ME OUT. Being the realistic and also not socially awkward person he is, he's naturally inclined to think that Sona is up to something... But, out of curiosity, goes "uhm... no (something weird is happening but okay sure i'll humour you)" anyways.
- DURING THEIR FIRST DATE, Sona continues to (mistakenly) think that Ica must be some kind of blushing virgin boy. BUT REALLY, it's just that ICA IS SO USED TO BEING THE PURSUER that when someone woos him, he really doesn't know how to react. SO ICA IS REALLY DISTRACTED/OFFPUT BY THE FACT THAT SONA IS MAKING TH EMOVES ON HIM AND HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
- Oops misconceptions LMAO!
- After the first date, Sona awaits Ica's phonecall... But he doesn't call back.
- SO SONA... RAISES HIS EYEBROW AND CALLS ICA. WHICH JUST CONFUSES ICA BECAUSE WHAT HE IS GOOD AT THIS RIGHT ON TIME FOR THE SECOND DATE.
- And then it follows with Sona realizing that Ica is MUCH HARDER TO WOO THAN HE HAD ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED. And Ica being a mix of "wait what do i do" (because he is new to the being courted thing) and torn between his feelings of "this dude's really attractive" and "HAHAHA IT'LL NEVER WORK WHAT AM I EVEN DOING WHAT." and "i don't want him to treat me like a BABY but it's kind of nice WHOOPS."
- AND IT CULMINATES TO SONA GETTING ICA TO AGREE TO COME BACK TO THE APARTMENT AND PUSH HIM DOWN OVER THE COUCH.
- IT REALLY INTRIGUES and also frustrates SONA HOW QUICKLY ICA RECOVERS FROM THE INITIAL SHOCK due to inexperience w/ dudes. and ica has a lot of pride and DOESN'T WANT SONA TO MAKE FUN OF HIM >8c
- SO IT'S LIKE THIS REALLY CUTE TANGO wherein Sona tries a lot harder than he'd like to win Ica over... and finding himself frustrated/embarrassed for trying so hard...
- And Ica not wanting to be seen as a little kid or w/o the usual respect he gets from everyone... when in actuality he is pretty charmed by Sona AHAHHAHA.
- IN SPITE THE TOTAL YAOI-BAIT MATERIAL OF THEIR RESPECTIVE ROLES, Sona's rockstar thing is what makes Ica dubious of the relationship to begin with... And Ica's life as a university student SURE TAKES HIM AWAY TOO MUCH >8c
- THEY HAVE A VERY TSUNDERE RELATIONSHIP EXCEPT SONA ENDS UP HAVING TO BEND OVER BACKWARDS A HELL OF A LOT MORE FOR ICA BECAUSE ICA IS A LOT MORE LIKELY TO WALK AWAY FROM THE RELATIONSHIP IF IT'S NOT CUTTING IT FOR HIM.
- IT'S BEEN A HELL OF A LONG TIME SINCE SONA HAS EVER MET SOMEONE THAT POSED THIS MUCH OF A CHALLENGE. but wow does he try...
- AT A CERTAIN POINT IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP, Sona finds that he has INDEED fallen for Ica (OOOPSS...) and that he really wants to make Ica have those kinds of feelings for him 8__8 but he isn't so sure BECAUSE ICA IS A TSUNDERE. and he isn't the type to ask because HE IS ALSO A TSUNDERE. THE AMOUNT OF PRIDE IN SPITE THE ATTRACTION IS SO LSDKHGSLKJ.
- So, instead, he does a lot of self-assurance by being VERY TOUCHY with Ica and feeling satisfied that ica *~lets him do it*~ and therefore ~*does adore him~*
- SONA IS VERY INSECURE. ICA DOESN'T REALIZE THIS AND JUST THINKS SONA IS MOODY AND DUMB.
- THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS FULL OF THEM COLD SHOULDERING THE OTHER AND INTENSE MAKEUP SEX. yes. pretty much. oh and also some kawaii moments+dates too.
eventually and after some character development due to time apart when ica *~graduates college*~ and *~goes on a trip by himself around the world*~
- THIS MAKES SONA NERVOUS BECAUSE WHAT IF ICA LEAVES HIM GODDAMNIT ALL MY HARD WORK LSKDHGLKJW NOOOO. he tries to hold these feelings back though!! because he KNOWS he shouldn't hold ica back 8__8 he cares so much.
- but, ica grows up and realizes that he really was inexperienced and life is too short to live dishonestly! during one of their monthly meetups, ica offhandedly goes "i love you, you know."
- WHICH MAKES SONA BREAK. AND IN AN ATTEMPT TO COVER HIS FACE PULLS ICA CLOSE AND JUST HUGS HIM.
- ICA GOES ???? HUH. WHAT'S WITH THIS REACTION OH GOD IS HE SHAKING DID HE THINK OTHERWISE. WHAT.
- And this pretty much affirms the whole life-being-too-short-to-live-dishonestly thing in Ica's mind! So, Ica acts much more empathetically+nicely towards sona... while sona quietly turns his head and becomes much less abrasive
- AND THEY ARE SO CUTE OK SOBS AND LIES ON THE FLOOR DON'T MAKE FUN OF ME AND OUR FLUFF
SOME AUs
- ill edit this later, but there's a jap au wherein sona is a kabuki actor and ica is portraitist's apprentice
- and there's a gendbend version wherein icarina is the older lady and sonako is the model+rockstar teenaged girl
- AND MUCH MORE WHISPERS AND CARESSES YOUR EAR
