Kain Highwind with an s/o
I… may or may not have just finished watching a playthrough and added him to my favorites. Of course this takes place after the game! Also please let me know if i need to fix tags because why are 2 and 4 so… confusing…
*no one ever thought that Kain would fall for anyone, considering how much he had loved Rosa, but he knew she would never feel that way for him
*it wasn’t until he met you. While he may not have fallen right off the bat, his feelings for you were very strong
*you and him hit it off fairly quickly, becoming close friends
*…it was actually you who confessed your feelings first, which caught Kain off guard
*but Kain was relieved and happy that you felt the same way, though he does have moments where he feels he doesn’t deserve your love and attention
*whenever he has these moments, you will do what you can to reassure him that you still love him, regardless of what he’s done in the past
*he does become a little protective of you, even if you can protect yourself
*you don’t mind too much, but if you think he’s becoming a bit too much, just let him know and he’ll back off.

Hey FFIV fans, do you ever think about:
• Kain Highwind actually talks a fair bit at the start of the game, was ready to interrupt the meeting with the king, readily gives Cecil unasked for emotional support, and despite holding in his love for Rosa for at least some time, once shit hits the fan he almost immediately blurts it out in Mist
whereas
• Cecil sometimes even late in the game has a real hard time collecting his thoughts and saying them out loud. He freezes up in personal interactions with Golbez and just sorta . . . follows Fusoya's lead on the moon. Our first glimpse of him is brooding on the Red Wings airship and he doesn't say anything to his upset men until they are actively questioning their orders, a big deal in a military to even reach that point. He always moves on quickly to the next goal in conversations (as much just limited dialogue constraints on the SNES but you know). People in Baron were afraid of him as a Dark Knight and Cid and Rosa have to seek him out to get him to talk
and
• the Baron monarchy seems to be elective. Kain has his own inheritance from his biodad. That's the sharp difference between Kain and Cecil's beginning as young men - Cecil has only what the King is able and willing to give him. And the dragoons are a long and storied order, but using dark knights is new for Baron and makes everybody uncertain. Kain ends up angsting over his connection to his dad at the end of the game but he seems emotionally centered with it in the opening, enough that Cecil comments he envies him and Kain doesn't say that's weird of him to feel. And Rosa's mom apparently liked Kain for Rosa instead of Cecil
so . . . it may be that . . . Kain and Cecil before the game starts are the inversion of their popular archetypes that creep into a lot of fan portrayals of them, my own included! Fun! Cecil was the awkward brooding loner and Kain the open, communicative golden child at court. Then everything goes to hell in a handbasket and we see them switch over the course of the game
