[Arknights] SilverAsh's and Dr. Hana's Dynamic

[hako_aiko]

Series: Arknights

Characters/Pairings: SilverAsh/Doctor

Summary: This pretty much just explains their dynamic (which I hope can be seen in my works already) lmao.

Notes: I hope it makes sense because I had better words in my mind but they just refused to come out. RIP.

(Someday I'll make that picture into text-only. Someday that isn't now lmao)

As hot as it is for him to say such things, he won't say it in my silverdoc universe. Even if he feels like it (he does, this horny bastard), he won't admit it out loud because if he does, Dr. Hana will tease him to the ends of the earth and that's like death sentence to him. It may slip once in a while on bed, though.

Obviously, the situation and Doctor are also different than comic because 1) my silverdoc have been dating since high school, 2) difference in Doctor's personalities. I think it should be obvious by this point that Dr. Hana will proudly and confidently speaks of her own positives and allure, and that it's only natural to fall for her and such.

For the first point, they did "break up" because Dr. Hana's loss of memory and thus had to pretty much restart their relationship from zero, so the yes, the confession happens again for the 2nd time. Still debating on who confesses first, though, or maybe there's no direct confession at all when they can pretty much read each other's minds. So it really depends on the timeline and route in which such a thing happens.

By such a thing, I specifically meant "SilverAsh flirting Doctor to that extent in an appropriate situation". The situation of Dr. Hana falling from above isn't unheard of for my universe's SilverAsh (see: this chapter).

Moving on. Because of how Hana is, even in middle school, for the sake of survival, Enciodas basically grows up to be a tsundere. LMAO. Ever since his parents' deaths, he has been practicing to suppress his true feelings and emotions by hiding behind the mask of a "cool, calm, and collected guy", but it's taken up to 11 when it comes to Hana to the point it just comes off as being tsun (which dwindles over the year, but still presents in the older SilverAsh). He starts to care about her after they're forced to make up and met each other eye-to-eye, after all. He realizes his hate towards her is due to both jealousy and admiration. Once again, because of how Hana is, however, admitting such a thing will lead to endless teasing, and he has been her victim for many other things. Better not make himself suffer further, especially NOT in embarrassment.

He also has quite the high pride, worsening his tsundere-ness. Admitting how much he cares about her and how he sees her feels like losing to him, and he hates it. He won't be like this if only Hana isn't such a tease lmao. Of course, as he grows up, he slowly but surely becomes more honest (if not, they won't be able to date at all), and accepts her teasing as a daily, even precious and amusing, occurrence. He isn't numb to teases, but he can take them better than before. When Hana is too accustomed to him being tsundere, being honest once in a while throws her off, and it's such a sweet revenge to see her being surprised. A beautiful balance develops over the years.

About the "reading each other's minds" I spoke before, communication is key in any relationship, though! Their understanding of each other grows better by each year, by each time they spend together, to the point they have no need for words to understand what the other means and wants. It takes time, a lot of conversations, and plenty of petty fights.

How Enciodas acts is, at first, baffling to Hana, but after realizing he's just being a tsundere (as shown by how his words conflicting his actions), she eventually gets used to it and even thinks it's cute (that's why she teases him, to get more cute reactions). As for Enciodas, Hana is a brutally honest and straightforward person, so it's pretty easy to understand her when she shows it without remorse, but because she has a few screws loose, sometimes it's hard to discern what she thinks on certain things because it defies "common sense", such as on this.

Depending on her mood, as I said before, she can be roundabout in showing that she wants attention and affection, too, not to mention how much she jokes around. Sometimes it's hard to tell whether she's just joking or not. Only time and the growth of their relationship allow Enciodas to understands this complex side of hers, and even then, he isn't always right.

Because of how much time they spend together, at some point, words cease to have meaning. In fact, although they talk a lot (because how Hana is and..admittedly, how I am as a writer lmao), most of the conversations are unimportant and meaningless. Just pointless, fun banters, a daily occurrence in their peaceful everyday life. Their actions speak louder than words and they're comfortable with it. As long as they can "feel" each other's feelings and "warmth", even not sharing a single word is fine.

A peaceful, beautiful silence, the peak of relationship.
