Dating Naofumi Iwatani
🛡️ It took a long time for him to trust you, but with constant reassurance, he slowly started to get comfortable with you being around. You’re one of the few things in the world he feels close to, which kind of scares him.
🛡️ He definitely didn’t think you’d ever have feelings for him, so when you actually confessed, he thought you were joking. He was extremely happy when he learned you were serious though.
🛡️ He isn’t super big on PDA, but you can bet that if someone starts to flirt with you, his arm is around you in an instant.
🛡️ When you are assisting in battle, it makes him very nervous, but he knows you are more than capable on your own. That doesn’t stop him from giving you a little extra protection though.
🛡️ Any small scrape you get is immediately gone, which is good since you are so clumsy. Trip on a branch and scrape you knee? The injury is gone in seconds.
🛡️ He appreciates your support more than he probably tells you. He knows you are always going to be on his side, even when no one else is. But he still has a fear that something will happen to you, which kills him inside.
🛡️ Opening up is difficult for him to do, so when he opens up to you, you make sure to listen and comfort him.
🛡️ He loves that you and the rest of his party get along. Though they might be slightly jealous, they’re glad he’s with you.
🛡️ You make him smile more than anyone else can. Whenever he’s sad, he comes to you for comfort and to barrow some of your sunshine.

Corvids Are Fun
So, Crow/Raven shifter Naofumi.
After being betrayed, Naofumi decides to be petty. If he can do that in his world, he can do it here, and he's gonna take full advantage.
So, he shifts and tells all corvids and corvid-like creatures around Melromarc's Capital how shitty Malty and Motoyasu are, and what they look like.
Out of nowhere, suddenly Motoyasu and Malty are being terrorized by countless birds every time they step outside.
Bird shit on their new shiny armor, embarrassing rips in their clothing, the loud bird caws and croaks outside their window in the middle of the night, their money and money pouches getting stolen. Plus the humiliation of trying to get back at the birds in public but always failing.
Meanwhile, Naofumi and his party are chilling while they're out camping, cuddling, and having fun with the birds.
Occasionally, a few of the birds will drop by with money or rare plants or anything shiny (usually jewels and gems), and Naofumi will never explain where they came from. He just takes it, pats the crows and grooms their feathers, and gives them treats and snacks.
Also, picture this: Normal bird-sized Naofumi in his shifted form, sitting atop Filo's eggs, deciding that whatever is inside will be his chick and he's going to nest it until it cracks.
Bird Dad Naofumi in his shifted form trying to groom or take care of Filo, despite her baby Filolial form being larger than his fully-grown one, and her Queen Filolial form being like, 100 times his size.
People get confused when the giant queen filolial calls the (in comparison) tiny-looking corvid on her head "Mama!".
At some point, it gets normal enough that no one bats an eyes when Naofumi starts arguing with random birds, despite being in his human form.
"No! Don't put that in your beaks! That's not edible!"
"What did you say about Filo you peacock-wannabe?!"
"...Where did you get this?"
"Why do I have a jewel in my hands that looks like an actual Monster-eye but shinier?"
"Do not shit on my head!"
"Filo acted better as a baby chick than you are right now you overgrown chicken!"

Raphtalia: *confessing to Naofumi*
Raphtalia: you know I love you a lot, right?
Naofumi: as a father, right?
Raphtalia: well, not exactly. I've known for a long time that I've loved you-
Naofumi: as a father? I feel the exact same way.
Raphtalia: Naofumi Iwatani!
Naofumi: ?
Raphtalia: I'm saying I love you!
Naofumi: as a father-?

Would anyone be interested in a rewriting of the Shield Hero where Naofumi is an immortal guy who has lived for millennia (think a mix of Zhongli and Alhaitham from Genshin)?
I've been entertaining the idea for quite a while in my head but I'd like to know the thoughts of others on the matter as well, which is why I'm sharing the idea.
I've been thinking that it would be really interesting to do a re-write/fix-up of the anime/manga/light novel where there's:
No underlining pedophilia because that's just disgusting and creepy
Naofumi acts a lot like a miserable mentor figure who just wishes for the sweet embrace of death
The other heroes actually develop and their beliefs and morals are challenged
MOTOYASU IS NOT A CREEPY GUY LUSTING OVER A MONSTER CHILD
Myne and The King face actual consequences for their actions appropriate for the setting and time period
It's more of a dark fantasy/ subversion of the isekai trope (how it was supposed to be from the start in my opinion)
Explores such things as growing too fast and becoming a child soldier, immortality and how it affects someone, keeping promises to the dead, accepting your death as well as obsessing over the idea of death and similar topics
If anyone has any questions/suggestions feel free to ask me!
