Headcanon Meme: Hondou Eisuke

 Anonymous said: If you still doing the headcanon thing: Eisuke, his sister Hidemi (kir), and Sera Masumi. Thank You!

 

Sorry these took so long! I’m gonna be playing catch-up, but also, I don’t want to answer these all in a single post, so I’ll be making separate posts for each one.

 

So, this post will be about Hondou Eisuke. 

 

Headcanon A:  realistic

 

Parts of this have come up in my fic, but Eisuke doesn’t have extended family that he’s in contact with. His father wasn’t in contact with his extended family during his work in Japan. Eisuke and Hidemi will later realize that all of their father’s stories were stripped bare of any details that could be used to find his relatives or hometown. His mother, meanwhile, fought with her family over her choice to marry a foreign-born man with a disinclination toward answering questions plainly. While a few of them attended the funeral, it was made clear to Eisuke that while his mother was missed, his father was still a disreputable sort in their eyes, moreso since he wasn’t at said funeral. He’s thus not in contact with them, either.

 

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

 

Eisuke’s clumsiness isn’t so much an obfuscating stupidity trait as a natural flaw he’s managed to twist into a method of deflecting suspicion from himself when necessary.  When he finally attempts to enter the CIA training program, this works both for and against him. For, because he’s gotten really good at working around his flaws. Against, because his clumsiness is real and is an actual problem during the Clandestine Service Trainee program.

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

 

Eisuke absolutely has a few nightmares in which he follows through and stabs Hidemi while she’s lying in that hospital bed. He knows it’s her as he’s doing it, but his hand moves anyway, and her hand doesn’t. Nothing gets him back to bed after those dreams.

 

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

 

All of my non-canon things for DC are probably going to be more realistic because canon is the unrealistic one.

 

Ran, Sonoko, and Eisuke keep in touch via phone and internet after he goes to the US.  Eisuke considers going around Shinichi and asking Ran what she wants, but once he realizes that maintaining any kind of reasonable standard of living in the US will require him to get at least one part time job and also study English a lot in his spare time, he puts aside the idea of a long-distance relationship for his own reasons.
