General Dating Headcanons
Hino isn't looking for a long-term relationship . . . he's sort of taking things as they come.
That's okay though; not wanting to dedicate your life to someone isn't a character flaw.
The most attractive beauty is the type that’s forbidden.
Hino attracted others before, but when he enters a relationship with you . . . well, it certainly seems as if he’s become even more popular.
He's loyal, though. Even if he weren't, he has enough respect for others to not cheat.
Just don't be afraid to confide in him, alright?
He may not always understand your problems, but he doesn't need to understand to provide comfort, or even to lend a listening ear.
.
.

Meeting Hino
The city trapped you. It lured you in with exciting propositions, only to bind you with your own aspirations and ambition.
You struggled when you were younger. You struggled when you became an adult. You struggled until you reached the top.
It's deathly lonely at the top.
.
You hadn't the energy to be surprised.
Networking was crucial for any business, illegitimate or not. It was not uncommon for a naïve cub to muster the courage to approach you.
Yet, the one who stood before you was no cub.
“Bartender.” The attendant came running.
“I'll have another glass for my friend over here.” You ran a finger over the rim of your wineglass, bobbing your head in the direction of the newcomer.
.
.
.
Growing Acquainted + Growing Closer
He introduced himself as ‘Hino’ and gently tapped on the name badge clipped to his tie.
“HORNS CONGLOMERATE REP.” was what it read, in distinct, gold lettering.
Regardless of your opinions regarding the corporation, it wouldn't hurt to have something linking you to them.
It helped that Hino was not unattractive in the least.
Fast forward to a week later; you find yourself at a coffee house; a quaint, homely place tucked away in the city.
You should be honest with yourself— meeting potential collaborators . . . that was something reserved for those strangled lower on the corporate ladder.
But, you wanted to meet with Hino again.
.
.
.
“Valerian tea?” You smelt it before you saw it, and your nose crinkled as you took your seat.
Hino didn't appear to be too bothered by the scent. “I wanted to return the favour from a few nights ago.”
Lazily, he popped one eye open, as if taking in your outfit. “. . . You paid for my drink at the bar.”
.
.
.
Beginning to Date + Growing Pains
Neither of you knew exactly how it happened. It certainly hadn't been a formal agreement; the pair of you began spending time with each other outside of your respective careers.
Dating seemed to be the next step.
It's hard having to work around Hino’s sleeping patterns (or lack thereof), and your busy life.
You are both at different stages of your working lives, and this makes it difficult to relate to the other person at times.
It's frustrating, even. You may need to take a break from each other; it's almost like a tactical retreat.
You eventually get back together, but, for the first few months after, things feel tense.
Sleep deprivation can make a lion irritable, no matter how laid-back they are. Similarly, workplace stress doesn't disappear like magic.
It doesn't help that Hino becomes increasingly hard to reach.
.

Does The Black Market Ever Leave A Person?
By this point, you are on a first-name basis with Hino’s associates. Ibuki, Dolph, Free, Agata, Dope, Jinma, Miguel and Sabu— it took you a while to learn all of their names.
It was just something he had to tend to. They were the only ones who could handle it— both of these are things Hino told you.
You aren't the nosey type. Indeed, you resist prying for four, maybe four and a half weeks.
Curiosity killed the cat, yes, but, satisfaction brought it back.
Yet, when the information specialist runs a background check on everyone, and when you’ve read the report front-to-back twice over, you don't feel satisfied.
.

.
“SHISHIGUMI.”
You traced a circle around that word. You traced the circle in red pen.
It was an important word, and you knew well of its implications. After all, the syndicate’s members . . . them sharing names with those you knew couldn't be coincidental.
But, how the hell do you confront your partner about this?
.
.
.
Confrontation + Moving On
It catches Hino off guard, but, after a few cups of coffee, he talks freely.
He is patient. Your questions are almost neverending.
While he holds another position at Horns Conglomerate, Hino explains that he is also part of the CEO’s bodyguard squadron.
In short; he handles threats against his boss’ life, with as much force as is seen to be fit.
But, his past is a tougher pill to swallow.
Being a criminal is different to being a bodyguard.
The lion tells you how his boss “saved the Shishigumi”, and how he also saved each and every one of the gang’s remaining members.
You know that you have nothing to worry about . . . If things could have gone wrong, you think, then they would have long, long ago.
Once that matter has been handled, things seem to return to normal— you just wanted answers, and you received them.
Things settle down, and though it may not be the most logical of decisions, you and Hino are looking into apartments together.
The future doesn't look so lonely.
