Fluff Alphabet for Kennyo: W-X-Y-Z

Wild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.

Kennyo doesn't get drunk easily, but if he does get inebriated, he'll wax even more poetic about his partner than Shingen does. Normally, he holds back out of concern that such flowery praise would come off as ingenuine, but with his inhibitions lowered, all of his skill with language as a scholar and orator come through in devotion to his love, whether he's with his partner or someone else. If Shingen is the one he is getting drunk with, then of course this delights his friend to no end, though Shingen will probably rib him about showing off.

XOXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?

Kennyo actually is rather affectionate. In addition to his comfort with light PDA, in private, he's even more inclined to have casual but affectionate physical contact with his partner. If sitting together reading, his knee will be touching theirs; if standing next to each other to prepare food or some such, their shoulders will occasionally brush; he'll often spontaneously take their hand and raise it gently to his lips, or caress their hair and tuck a lock behind their ear, or wrap his arms around them from behind.

Whenever he returns from being out somewhere, he'll greet his lover with an embrace and a soft kiss to the forehead, and sometimes an extra kiss to the lips. He loves to draw his partner closer and hold them, to cradle them in his lap, and to curl up together in bed. Cuddling in bed is often combined with stroking his lover's hair or caressing their back, with just enough light pressure from his nails to be pleasant. He'll learn how his partner likes to be touched and use it to brighten their day at every opportunity. 

Yearning - How will they cope when they’re missing their partner?

If his partner is away for a while, Kennyo will take some time every night to write them a letter about observations that he wants to tell them about or questions that he wants to ask, so they can read it when they return. He'll probably be composing the letter in his head through various parts of the day. Thinking about what their responses would be makes him smile.

Spending time away from his beloved probably doesn't change much about his routines. Unless his partner is very socially anxious, then spending time with other people is likely something they did together -- playing games with Ranmaru, going out with friends, visiting the homes of followers -- as is going on regular walks, having study time, and caring for his weasel friend, Hozuki, or other animals. So, he'll still do all of those things the same, along with his responsibilities as the spiritual leader of Shin Buddhism.

Since bedtime will probably be the loneliest without his partner present, after composing his daily letter, he'll likely spend a little extra time reading, meditating, or talking to and petting Hozuki.

Zeal - Are they willing to go to great lengths for the relationship? If so, what kind of?

Given the Sengoku is a period of heightened physical danger, Kennyo is willing to put his life, body, and psyche on the line to protect his lover. He would endure any kind of physical or mental torture to keep them safe, just as he does for Ranmaru in Sasuke's route.

If others felt the relationship was inappropriate due to mixing of classes or ethnicities, or breaking the norms of gender and sexuality, he would be unwavering in defending the rightness of his love, and probably write long essays about it, incorporating Buddhist beliefs into his arguments even if he is defending the relationship from earlier Buddhist dogma. No amount of public pressure could make him renounce his partner.

The only person whose negative opinion of his partner would really matter is Ranmaru, because he so dearly loves his son. (He would at least listen to concerns from Shingen, but may or may not feel the need to act on them.) If for some reason there was tension between Ranmaru and his lover, he would try to find out why, and do his best to help things resolve so they could all live harmoniously as a family.
