肉-It’s love. Or at least very close. Don’t take it too seriously though-it basically means you’re on the same level as the below, but he finds you attractive too.
にく- Suguru is completely devoted to you. He’ll do anything to make you smile, no matter the cost to himself.
米- You’re special. You make him feel something the people he deems friends don’t. But in a nice way.
中-You’re a friend. He likes you and that’s that.
王-He likes you, but you’re in that very thin crack between ‘liking someone’ and ‘being their friend.’
ママ-For whatever reason, he finds it really hard to like you. Maybe you scare him or something.
骨- He doesn’t like you at all. He can’t find a single thing about you he admires.
Suguru wastes no time, as you can see. I like how I’ve had to basically bump every category up one notch from the standard. So if you consider it like most people’s ‘Acquaintance I like’ is Suguru’s ‘Friend.’ I really want to do one for everyone he’s ever met, and I’m working on it, so feel free to say who I’ve missed so I don’t forget.
肉-Elphaba Tropp
Sorry Elphaba, but Suguru is completely crushing on you. Even though you’re not the sort of girl he dreams of being with, isn’t that just always what happens? Whilst she hasn’t explained exactly all her past to him, he thinks he’s worked out just enough to know that she’s had a life filled with sadness. And not only that, but the sadness brought on by being different, and by loneliness, things he’s had to deal with himself. That’s what made her special to him. The fact that she was so shocked that he was willing to be kind to a stranger and that she was homeless when they met just touched him so deeply that from then on, he was dedicated to making her smile. He also respects that she’s smarter than him, by a wide margin, but doesn’t treat him like he’s stupid. The only reason he doesn’t act his usual perverted self at all times around her is that because he knows that doesn’t usually end well and upsetting her would break his heart. But occasionally, he just can’t control himself. The What If? Suguru actually did ask her out, but he doesn’t know that yet.
にく-Touya
Touya has a lot of the qualities that Suguru wishes he had. He’s intelligent, calm, a skilled fighter and he has honour. Whilst he finds Touya’s coldness to be a little annoying, he finds he’s an excellent straight man. He really does respect Touya though- he gave Suguru a beautiful fight they could both be proud of. He also finds his devotion to honour to be very admirable; anyone who will fight someone to protect the honour of others is a good guy in his book. He knows for a fact that Touya see’s great potential in him and the desire to not disappoint means that he’d do anything to prove he’s not a total loser to Touya. If only he could get him to admit his true feelings, he’d be really happy. In the mean time, he’s having fun with his in-denial-demon-friend and will wait forever to hear him say ‘I’m glad I met you, Suguru’ or ‘you’re amazing, Suguru.’
にく-V
Suguru once asked V if he was a super hero and he said no. Suguru doesn’t believe him. To Suguru, V is the man who escaped from hell and is going back in, this time with weapons. Whilst he’s only had glimpses into the kind of world that V lives in, he understands that V has a lot harder goals than beating up bad guys and fighting giant monsters and admires him for aiming for them. If V ever asked, he’d do everything in his power to advance V even the smallest step closer to those goals. Because V has everything Suguru could ask for in a friend-intelligence, a gentle nature, a strong sense of justice. And Suguru knows that whilst there are many terrible things that have happened to V, and there will probably be many more, that just means he has all the more reason to stand by him. Also, V was the first person in his entire life to call him intelligent.
米-Ursa
Just talking to Ursa stirs up feelings he doesn’t really understand. He doesn’t get it-why does she make him feel awkward about being a total goofball? The answer that Suguru doesn’t know is because he wants her to be proud of him. But the desire is one he could never totally fulfil-because even if she said she was completely impressed with him, he’d still want to do better than that. He’s constantly worried about lowering her opinion of him-which makes him second guess himself and get flustered, making him say things he doesn’t mean. But she seems to understand that and puts him at ease about it too. And this is all because she’s just so damn motherly-even the small contact they’ve had has been enough. Mostly, this is because he’s only met his own mother once that he remembers, and she just gives off the same vibe. If he ever lost that, he’d probably start thinking of her as a serious milf perfect romantic target, but chances are he’ll be never be that Freudian.
米-Mariach
Ever since arriving at DDD, Kinnikuman has been annoying Mariach. He’s just the right kind of guy for Suguru to bounce off of. He can be serious, allowing Suguru to be the funny man. And he has his own brand of silliness, allowing Suguru to join in. He knows that Mariach has had a hard life, and that he’s still willing to search for happiness reminds Suguru of himself. What if? Suguru had a serious man crush on Mariach, but regular Suguru just likes him as a friend. One day, he’d like to meet Mariach’s kids, and introduce Mariach to his own ‘kids’, the little royal servant Meat and the loser monster Nachiguron. He’d also really love for the pair to make a manzai performance at least once.
米-Albus Dumbledore
You’re his Dumbledore-Sensei. Dumbledore is not only the first nice teacher he’s ever met, but he remains the only one for now. And what a one to be his first-he’s kind, wise and patient with him. Dumbledore’s gentle manner just tells Suguru ‘everything will be alright if you try your best’.
米-Italy
That didn’t take long, did it? Italy is just such a glowing bundle of happiness that Suguru is simply brightened up by talking to him. He also has a strong feeling Italy is a big loser like him, because a person that happy-go-lucky just couldn’t take anything seriously. If he catches anyone picking on Italy, Suguru will instantly jump to protect him.
中-Spain
There was a time that Spain could not see the stars, but he’s happy now. That was all that Suguru needed to know, but the fact that Spain seems completely unable of being even slightly unkind about anyone means he would be his friend anyway. The bright natured fellow is on the verge of hitting the category above, Suguru just needs to know a little more about him.
中- Tohru Adachi
He likes Adachi a lot! He’s easily flustered and thus a fun target for his silliness. But Adachi’s willingness to not only put up with, but actually take part in Suguru’s antics is what makes him happy to mess around with him. He’d actually honestly rather have Adachi always owe him 500 yen so he can make jokes about it forever then have him pay it back. He does really appreciate that he’s a fan though. Also, he calls him Adachi because Maraich calls him that.
中-Tendou Kasumi
When he meets you in person, you will instantly be bumped up to肉. Everything he’s ever dreamt of in a girl, and she apparently likes him. She reminds him of Mari, his canonical love interest. She’s essentially what he thinks the completely ideal girl is, but because they rarely speak about her, what with Suguru being a centre of attention sort of guy and her obliging, he doesn’t know her too well. Still enough to love her, just a little bit.
中-Impmon
Suguru thinks he’s another super hero that doesn’t know it yet. He wants to add him to his growing collection of diminutive sidekicks, and their shared passion for horror movies is just one reason. He likes da' way he tawks and seems to have his heart in the right place, what with protecting children.
中-Lithuania
He’s spoken to him once, but Lithuania said he didn’t see any reason they can’t be friends, so they are. As he said in that one conversation, Lithuania is exactly the sort of guy he’d want to be his older brother. He still feels a bit guilty about thinking Liet was a crazy, but he liked the way he responded to the accusation with a pride and certainty of self. He wants to get to know him better, but he’s already considered a friend.
中-Naoto Shirogane
Naoto is another smart person who doesn’t look down on Suguru for not being smart himself. In their very first discussion, Suguru said that he doesn’t know how not to be a super hero, and Naoto replied that he doesn’t know how not to be a detective. This instantly meant that Suguru could see no option but to be his friend.
中-Death
Death still scares Suguru a little, but that makes him feel guilty, because it’s not who she is, but what. Which makes him feel like he’s just as bad as the people who pick on him. Still, she puts up with his silliness, and even enjoys it. He plans to make her a floppy hat.
中-Rise Kujikawa
Rise is another that falls in the tiny middle category between ‘child’ and ‘pretty girl’. He’d die for her, just as a matter of principle. He likes her cheerful attitude, and that she doesn’t seem to mind that he’s a loser. In fact, as far as he can tell, she doesn’t even think he’s a loser. Not to mention, anyone who hates bullying is a friend to Suguru. If only she was a little older~
中-Ryudo Issei
A nice chap all around. He appreciates friendship, and that means he’s Suguru’s friend, even if he is a bit stiff. He’s sure that if can get him to open up a bit more, they’ll become close.
中-Rattrap
He’s oblivious to your sarcasm, sir, and he’ll thank you to remember it. Still the coolest thing to be part rat he’s ever seen, and he’s fairly sure that Rattrap is a superhero or something.
中-Saguru Hakuba
They’re justice buddies, and that’s all there is to it. Besides, he said they could be friends, so as far as he cares, they are.
王-Eris
He’s said he’ll be Eris’ friend forever, but he honestly doesn’t know her that well. She has pretty eyes though.
王-Minazuki Karen
Karen seems nice and all, but she just cuts the wind right out of his sails. He doesn’t resent her for it-she’s just a little serious and to ask her to not be would be pretty hypocritical. Suguru thinks she doesn’t really get him. Another who is in the magical corridor between child and pretty girl.
王-Sari Sumdac
A little like Karen, he likes her, but she tends to react to his silliness in a way that just cuts all the fun out of it. He doesn’t like being called a goofball! Once more, she’s in the pretty girl/child corridor.
王-Poland
He’s spoken to Poland twice, and he was little mean to him the first time. But, on the other hand, Poland showed him pretty ladies in lingerie. He also knows that Lithuania is his boyfriend or something, so he’s probably a nice guy.
王-Wanda Maximoff
Suguru thinks Wanda is kind of cool, even if she is a little scary. She seems sad, so once again he’d like to see her smile and become her friend.
ママ-Rose
OH ROSE YOU FOOL, WHY DIDN’T YOU ACCEPT HIS OFFER? Suguru likes Rose-much like Touya, she has a lot of qualities he’d like to have. Unfortunately, unlike Touya, he’s too scared of her/thinks she’s too pretty/hasn’t had the excuse yet to get into a fight with her to work out their differences. As a result, he’s just going to keep trying to make her smile until he succeeds or she really does kill him.
ママ-Ozai
Has spoken to him once. Said ‘lol boi u get pwnd’. At the time, he had no idea he was Azula’s father and Ursa’s husband, but now he does, he’s pretty sure he won’t like him. But, he’s saving judgement.
ママ-Hibari Kyoya
AKA Scootchy-Puppy-Kun. Because Suguru thinks he’s just like a cute little puppy, the kind that scoothes its butt on the carpet. For some reason, Scootchy-Puppy-Kun doesn’t scare Suguru at all, possibly because he thinks anyone trying that hard to be scary couldn’t be. Watch out, Hibari-without the mental handicaps that prevent him from fighting all out, Suguru would easily send you packing, and if you ever threatened him or someone he liked in person, that’s exactly what he’d do-Smack you on the nose and put you outside like a naughty puppy.
にく/骨-Azula
Yes-at the same time, he would die for her and can’t think of anything he likes about her. Strictly speaking, she has a lot of the qualities that Suguru admires, but to him they’re all pointed in the wrong direction. The fact that she herself says that she’s a monster and has no heart just fills Suguru with a kind of despair he’s never felt before. Whilst he says he’s certain he can save her from that sort of existence, for once in his life he’s not sure. He definitely thinks it’ll take a lot more than a big man annoying her, but that’s all he’s got. One of the reasons why Suguru is picking on Azula so strongly about this sort of thing is because she fits in the tiny little area between the two groups he’s most passionate about protecting-children and pretty girls. And for some reason, he’s certain that she actually does like him, but just will never admit it even to herself. As he sees it, he’s got a hold of her by the chain of hate, and is going to reel her in until he can grab her hand and hold her tightly until everything is alright. On the other hand, when she gets angry at him, it’s just so much fun! His plan to humiliate her completely so she knows what it’s like to be a loser sways from a certain conviction to a passing fancy quite randomly.
骨-Denzel Crocker
You scare him man! You’re just like every other teacher he’s ever had, except you’re not even his teacher and YOU’RE STILL FAILING HIM. School was his Nam. You trigger his Nam Flashbacks. But now that massive head trauma has given him the strange notion that Crocker is his mother, he’s not even going to avoid him. The fact that Crocker seems to enjoy Suguru’s fear has actually caused him to dislike him, and if it weren’t for the fact that his Dumbledore-Sensei seems to like him, Suguru would hate him. After all, he doesn't mind scary people, if they can't help being scary. But Denzel is just a bully, and Suguru hates bullies. As it is, he’s waiting to see what it is that Dumbledore sees in him. If Suguru ever finds out that he’s so bitter and crazy due to a perceived bad childhood, he’ll instantly forgive him for everything though.
