Could you write about Ryuya Ryudo? I'm in love with this man (relationship overview?)

WARNINGS: GENDER NOT SPECIFIED + NOT PROPFREAD

NOTES: RYUYA RYODAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THE MAN YOU ARE

Ryuya Ryudo, as the calm and composed ruler of the Land of the Sun, brings all that zen energy straight into his relationship. Think of this: you’ve had a stressful day, maybe everything’s gone wrong, but Ryuya’s just there—chill, unbothered, and ready to help you find your inner peace again. He’s like a walking stress-relief app but, you know, way better because he actually listens. He’d make sure you feel secure and supported in every way possible, both emotionally and physically. It’s like having your own personal security blanket, but with muscles and a great sense of responsibility.

His sense of duty doesn’t stop at the gates of his country—it extends right into his love life. He’s the type of guy who’s always making sure you know your worth. You’ll never go to bed wondering, "Do they even care about me?" because Ryuya’s got it covered. He’s the kind of partner who will hype you up like it’s his full-time job. If you’ve got a wild dream, like becoming the world’s greatest kazoo player or starting a cupcake empire, Ryuya is your biggest cheerleader. “You’ve got this,” he’ll say, without a hint of doubt, even if the odds are wild. He believes in you so much that eventually, you start to believe it too.

Now, Ryuya’s no dictator in the relationship. He’s not here to control or micromanage your every move. His leadership style? All about compassion, understanding, and knowing when to step back. You’ll never catch him mansplaining or talking down to you. Need advice? He’s got you, but he’s not shoving it down your throat. His wisdom is more like gentle nudges in the right direction, not a GPS barking orders at you. He trusts you to figure things out and make your own decisions, and he respects your independence. Honestly, he’s just there to give you that occasional “Hey, you’re doing great” and to make sure you’re never feeling small.

He’s basically always got your back without hovering like a helicopter. He’s supportive without being overbearing, strong without being controlling, and calm without being indifferent. He’s basically a human embodiment of a supportive leader—steady, reliable, and full of belief in you, even when you’re not sure you believe in yourself. And honestly, what’s better than that?

His Tengentsu basically makes him a human mood detector—he can literally see everything, including your feelings and thoughts, so there’s no hiding that “I’m fine” when you’re very clearly not fine. Even without his magic eye, the guy’s naturally empathetic. It’s like he’s got emotional Wi-Fi and is always connected to your vibe. You could be silently fuming or feeling down, and he’ll pick up on it before you’ve even had a chance to sigh dramatically.

But don’t worry, he’s not the type to be all up in your business like, “Hey, tell me everything right now.” No, he’s way smoother than that. Ryuya’s approach is more like, “I know something’s up, but I’ll wait until you’re ready.” He’s not here to interrogate you; he’s here to be that safe space you can retreat to when you feel like opening up. It’s like having your own personal zen garden, but one that talks and makes tea.

He’s not one to get all worked up. You could be having a full-on meltdown, and Ryuya will be there, calm as ever, like, “Okay, let’s take a deep breath.” It’s honestly kind of impressive—his chill is unshakable. His presence is like that perfectly timed deep breath you didn’t know you needed. When you’re around him, you just know everything’s going to be okay. Whether you need a pep talk, a hug, or just some quiet time together, Ryuya’s got it covered. He knows when to drop a word of encouragement or when to just sit in silence with you—like a human-sized weighted blanket but with cool eye powers.

This guy deals with all kinds of people every day as a leader, so when it comes to emotions, he’s got the grace and patience of a saint! If you’re ever frustrated or overwhelmed, he’s not the type to rush in with that classic “Just calm down” or “It’s not a big deal.” Nope, Ryuya knows that’s not how feelings work. Instead, he’s right there, helping you process things at your own pace. Need to vent for an hour? Cool. Want to cry into a bowl of ice cream? He’s got spoons ready. 🥄🥄 (two for you and him).

He’s fully aware that everyone has their off days, and he’s not about to judge you for it. Feeling insecure? Having a rough time? Ryuya’s the kind of guy who’ll remind you of all your best qualities in the most genuine way possible. He’s got a way of making you feel like you’re hearing it from someone who really believes in you, not like he’s just trying to cheer you up with empty words. It’s like, “Oh, you forgot you’re awesome? Don’t worry, I’ve got a whole list of reasons why you’re amazing right here.” And before you know it, he’s pulling out a comically long list with the title “100 reasons why you’re awesome.”

And when it comes to disagreements, Ryuya’s approach is top-tier. He’s not the type to get defensive or hold grudges—seriously, you’d have to do something really wild to ruffle his feathers. If there’s ever a misunderstanding or mistake, he’ll sit down and talk it through like the calm, collected man he is. You could practically call him your personal therapist—minus the bill. He’s all about hearing your side and explaining his own, and he does it with so much patience that you almost forget you were arguing in the first place—it almost embarrasses you.

Even with the weight of being the Shogun on his shoulders, Ryuya always finds a way to make time for you. You’d think with all those responsibilities he’d be glued to his desk, buried under scrolls or dealing with emergencies left and right. But nope—this guy’s got skills. Even when things are hectic, he’ll slip away for a quick moment with you or send a sweet message through one of his trusted retainers. It’s like he’s got a secret power for squeezing in romance between shogun duties.

And when he’s with you, he’s really with you. No distractions, no rush—just meaningful, quality time. Whether you’re taking a stroll through the countryside, enjoying the peace and quiet, or having a long, deep chat over tea, Ryuya’s fully present. It’s like you’re the only person in the world that matters to him in that moment. He values every second you share, and he’s not about to take any of it for granted. You’ll always feel like his top priority, even when the world is on the brink of chaos.

Speaking of chaos—yeah, even if the world’s about to fall apart because of, let’s say, a certain someone cough cough Lucius, being with Ryuya makes it feel like none of that matters. It’s like the universe just pauses when you’re together, and the only thing that exists is the two of you. With him, it’s almost like chaos has taken a vacation. You could be in the middle of a crisis, and he’ll still make it feel like everything’s perfectly fine, as if world domination plans are just minor inconveniences when you’re holding his hand.

If there’s a hint of danger, he’s already ten steps ahead, using his influence and that trusty Tengentsu of his to handle it before it even becomes a problem. He’s quietly protective, basically—but it’s not like he’s going to follow you around with a worried look or try to micromanage your every move. No, he’s more subtle. he’s got this almost ninja-like ability to keep tabs on things from a distance, making sure everything’s safe without you even noticing.

Listen, he’s not about to make you feel smothered or like you can’t handle things on your own. Instead, he’s all about ensuring your safety while giving you the space to live your life the way you want. It’s like having a secret guardian who makes sure everything’s smooth sailing—one minute, there’s a threat, and the next, it’s been quietly taken care of, and you’re none the wiser.

He’s like this with everyone in Hino Country, really. He cares about his people, and he’s not taking chances when it comes to their safety—or yours. Ryuya would never risk letting you or anyone else get hurt, even in the smallest way. So yeah, he’s protective, but he’s got finesse. It’s not overbearing; it’s just him making sure you’re safe, all while letting you feel independent. It’s like being protected by a stealthy, caring force who knows how to be there without being there.

When it comes to physical affection, Ryuya’s approach is all about quality over quantity. He’s not the type to be glued to your side or constantly showering you with grand, dramatic gestures. Instead, his affection is all in the little moments—the kind that might seem simple on the surface but carry a ton of meaning. Maybe it’s a hand on your shoulder, a soft brush of a stray hair from your face, or a gentle hug right when you need it most. It’s never over the top, but it’s so him—a warm, steady reminder that he’s there, and he cares deeply.

He’s not someone who needs constant physical touch to feel connected, but that doesn’t mean he’s distant. On the contrary, Ryuya finds comfort just in being close to you. Whether it’s sitting beside you during a quiet, peaceful moment or standing protectively by your side when things are tense, his presence is a constant, reassuring force.

And that’s the thing—you’d always feel a sense of safety and ease, even when it’s just the two of you sitting in silence. Ryuya has this way of making you feel deeply loved without needing to say a word. You just know he’s there for you, and that’s enough to make everything feel right. It’s the kind of affection that sneaks up on you, the kind that makes you realize, “Wow, this guy really cares,” even when all he’s done is sit close or hold your hand for a moment. <3

My Black Clover OC, I decided to post it here too (I posted it on Bluesky before), I used a scene as a base to make it in the anime style :)
