ninthfeather | Headcanon Meme: QP Minato/Aegis (Reply)

durinswizardwheezes said: i'm gonna send you a few of these sorry not sorry but can you do minato/aigis' queerplatonic relationship? either taking a happy ending au as 'canon' or ripping our hearts out with actual canon

Headcanon A: realistic

Once Aegis starts feeling “human” and also starts getting closer with Minato, they put together a list of “human” things to try out together. Among the conclusions: Aegis likes cooking, learning about traditions, walks, and forms of art and literature that involve a strict formula that she can use to understand them. On the other hand, she really doesn’t like lying down outside of her charging station, not even on Minato’s shoulder, and abstract art confuses her badly. Of the things they try, the favorite they agree on is baking–Aegis likes how structured it is and how happy the product makes the rest of SEES, and Minato likes the feeling of working together with Aegis without the danger of Tartarus to bring it about.

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

Yukari got a little jealous after they announced their relationship and told Aegis about the “human custom” of buying matching couples’ shirts. Minato explained things after Aegis had already bought them off the internet. The two of them ended up wearing them around the dorm like there was nothing odd about it while the rest of SEES freaked out either at how ugly the shirts were or just at how embarrassing the two of them were being. Both of them agreed that the reactions were worth it and ended up thanking Yukari for the advice after she stopped sputtering and started trying to apologize.

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

Minato has trouble wrapping his mind around the way Aegis prioritizes him at first. He’s so used to being alone that being the main focus of another person’s attention is almost overwhelming. Why does she care so much? He can’t understand what’s so special about him.

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

Minato dies of old age and Aegis misses him but she stays strong for their adopted children and grandchildren.
