[kamuleo-leokamu]

Got any LeoKamu!Forrest headcanons? Every child can be seen as just a little bit different based on who their parents are. With the fantastic chemistry between LeoKamu and the presence of little bro Kana, I wonder what you think the prettiest prince ever would be like?

Okay, so my first headcanon, tying back into my “Leokamu wedding wouldn’t happen until after the war ended” hc, is the ever-popular “screw the babyrealms, we’re raising these kids like normal people so we don’t mess them up, since both of us know parental neglect SUCKS.”  Jumping off that:

I feel like Leo and Forrest would have a much better relationship than in Fates’s babyrealms canon, because Forrest would’ve grown up with his parents around

Leo would have been a lot less distracted by the freaking war going on and had more time to pay attention to his son and therefore get used to Forrest’s way of dressing and accept that Forrest is wonderful far sooner than a paralogue when his son’s already grown

I mean, I still imagine that Leo is a little uncomfortable with Forrest’s crossdressing at first, because of the way it was drilled into Leo’s own head growing up that a prince had to act only in certain rigid ways–but he’d get over it significantly faster.

Especially since Corrin would get really pissy toward him for his attitude toward their precious son.  And since Corrin is generally so kind, her anger is a terrifying beast indeed.  (And we all know she’s a Mama Bear from Kana’s paralogue.)

Other Corrin!Forrest headcanons:

He can turn into a dragon like his mother and brother.  He doesn’t do it very often though.  It’s for similar reasons as his initial hesitation to inherit Brynhildr from Leo–Forrest knows this is a lot of power with the potential to hurt people, and he also saw how Kana lost control the first time he transformed.  Forrest does eventually warm to his dragon form, but it takes a long time.

Forrest is the best brother ever.  He’s really attentive toward baby Kana from the moment he’s born, and he gives him a lot of affection.

(Corrin still remembers her and Leo’s support conversations and how he felt neglected by his siblings growing up, so she might’ve encouraged Forrest to show affection toward Kana–not that she really needed to, Forrest already loved him from the start.)

Forrest also likes making little outfits for Kana.  Since babies grow so fast, it gives him a lot of sewing practice and he ends up developing a lot of skill because of it.

Of course, Forrest also makes clothes for his parents sometimes.  Mostly for his mother because he likes making dresses the most (and Leo might be okay with Forrest wearing dresses but that doesn’t mean he wants to).  Also just because Corrin gushes over his creations the most so Forrest ends up making more for her anyway.

After learning about his mother’s… complicated family history, Forrest starts trying to make her clothes that will honor her Nohrian and Hoshidan families (and also her ties to Valla if this is Revelation!Corrin).  He gets really interested in the way that fashion and culture differ between the lands

Assuming this is Revelation path, he would also be heir to the throne of Valla, in which case:

I can definitely see Forrest becoming a much-beloved ruler.  He’s considerate of the people and tries to make progress during his reign instead of just holding the line.

He also does his best to make the people appreciate his father and the hard work that Leo put into his own reign (since it’s noted in the end card that Leo wasn’t very popular with the people and all).  Actually, I feel like Forrest and Corrin both do a lot of that.

I also feel like Kana would be Forrest’s right hand (as well as his successor if Forrest doesn’t marry).  The two have always been close, and due to Forrest’s influence, Kana grows up into a thoughtful, mature adult (even if he’s still cute and playful when he wants to be), and he makes a good ambassador for his big brother.

Also, regarding his thoughts on Leokamu as he’s growing up:

Forrest’s view of true love totally comes from watching his parents when he’s a kid.  They can be very different in some ways (and sometimes too alike in others) but they balance each other quite well, bring out the best in each other, and always make an effort for each other’s happiness.  And even if they’re important people with important responsibilities, they make time for each other, to just sit around reading or bantering or whatnot

and some kids would think their parents being really in love is disgusting, but Forrest adores it.  He grows up feeling surrounded by love–his parents’ love for each other, and their love for Forrest and Kana.

There is a bit of confusion when Forrest is still pretty young though, and he starts learning about his mother’s complicated family history (”Dad, why did you marry your sister???”).  Corrin comes home from a council that night to find Leo stammering out a long-winded explanation of adoption and just starts laughing her head off.

(And finally, the most important headcanon of all.)

Since he’s grown up seeing his mother teasing his father about his collar being inside out so often, Forrest starts teasing Leo the same way too.  It’s probably even worse coming from Forrest since he’s always so fashionable.
