adores his younger brother and has always tried to raise him in a most agreeable way,,,, however his familial affections never seem to get through to him :(
absolutely hates him
he hates his smile, he hates his optimism, his cheerfulness, the fact that he takes every good opportunity away from him
hates the fact that he still admires some small part of him
FR0ST is one of my friends! We enjoy fruit flavoured milk together, and relax while listening to some music.
Just like Taki he will ABSOLUTELY kill Texel if he ever sees him again. He didnt like him from the get go and he never will
He cannot STAND him after what he did to Kai all those years ago and will probably tear his throat out if he sees him ever again
Has interacted with him a few times in passing considering bell works so many jobs but its never been anything more than that
Kai's not scared of much in this life but he still has some anxieties even thinking of the other, let alone being around him. Tragic exes, but ill touch more on that later
As siblings they get along both pretty well but also find a lot of things to be annoying about each other. It's nothing that gets in the way of their newswork though as their personalities play off each other really well
Distant Cousins! Finds it funny when people think he's older, when in fact he's younger than both brothers. Mars has no problem with this.
They get along super duper well! It's a bit scary how similarly they can sync up sometimes. When Ren isn't too busy he doesn't mind when Mars comes to drag him out the house for food.
Distant Cousins! Finds it funny when people think he's older, when in fact he's younger than both brothers. That alone greatly annoys Jyuuki.
They get along decently well, but just decent. Though their looks are similar their personalities are just too vastly different.
Besides Ahriel, Raphael was the second closest thing Cain had to an actual father figure. He'd also first seen him as a kid in the parade, a feeling of excitement bubbling in his chest at the thought of being like them someday.
Years later, on his first day of training he'd run into Raphael in the halls, his beauty and power practically dropping off of him in waves. And gods was Cain charmed.
Raphael was definitely a mentor and teacher to him, from whom he learned a lot. His death had left him greatly depressed for a long time, which Sabu, Emi and Gale had to get him out of. Though he hides it, he's still bitter and mourning over it under the surface.
It honestly started to make Cain wonder if he'd lose every good person that walks into his life.
still editing yeehaw
After he gets over the whole 'humans are disgusting monsters phase' he's at first annoyed by Theo if only because he sees a bit of his old self in him, but he also remembers he grew from that and in a way he can't help but feel a bit endeared about the little guy.
He genuinely wants the kid to have a confidence boost though, he seems so unsure about everything, which once again really annoyed him at first.
Kami merely tolerated him at first since he really gets annoyed by people that act fake, but he soon realized that was something Cain does on a surface level. He'd hoped the first few times they met the other would be offput but his loud personality and leave him be, but Cain kept sticking around to pester him and before he knew it they'd be having lunch together or Cain would stop by to check on him.
Though he doesn't know much of Cain's past he can usually tell when he's feeling down just from one glance at the poor fool. This resorts to him becoming the resident mom and comforter for awhile.
Cain adores Kami despite his brash and angry personality, because for one he's very honest and 'aggressively cares' as he once described to the other before being hit in the shoulder. Immediately after he was offered some of Kami's lunch in apology, which greatly amused him.
Cain is decently close with Kami, enough to the point where Cain can annoy him and not feel hurt by his insults and shoving. Cain likes to visit the Bureau of Info mostly to see him and a few others, because he's not really a library kind of person, he enjoys socializing with the people there.
Kami can usually tell when he's feeling odd or down and gives him advice when needed. Otherwise he gets a rough pat on the back and a 'stop moping over my documents i need to work rn'
Gale was the one to start the 'Gale Cain Train' movement and even went as far as to nickname the other Candy Cain. Though Gale can sometimes be a little slow or dense he usually tries to pick on on the others feelings and enjoys riling him up or having the two of them pull some shenanigans to get Cain's mind off serious matters.
Though he might be close to Emi, Gale is for sure his best friend. He was one of the first persons he ran into on initiation/trainging day and helped steel his nerves. They got along super well super fast and started hanging out together from then on.
Though Gale does know about his past he doesnt know the exact details. That doesn't stop Cain from having to hold the other back whenever they regrettably see Zaidon in the halls though. Gale has threatened to both beat him up and beat up his whole family, much to Cain's amusement.
As much as Cain would love that he'd prefer to have his buddy NOT be fired and out of the force. Otherwise who will he continue the Gale Cain Train with?
He actually hadn't recognized Cain at first having that it'd been a long while since the Parade and Cain was much older now, but Ahriel is wise and more or less instantly realizes the other has some form of high admiration for him, which he things is endearing, amusing even
Ahriel's been somewhat of a teacher to him, and even on some level, a decent older brother figure to him and he's actually proud to have trained him, even if he can be a bit strict on him at times
He first saw Ahriel in his town's annual Parade. He'd looked so strong and cool and powerful then. Having only ever seen or heard about the Elite 7 on the news and such he'd grown to admire them for being so free and helping people.
But once he saw them at the Parade first hand he'd been over the moon. It took nothing more than a smile from Ahriel (who was rumored to RARELY smile) and a pat on a head to make him want to be in the Elite as well.
He greatly looks up to him, to an almost embarassingly cute extent, and now that they work together somewhat his admiration grew. He was delighted that Ahriel had eventually recognized him, but of course things are still strict and profressional between them. But to work int he same place as one of the heroes you admire? Oh the thought always makes Cain's heart swell.
He really didnt understand Sabu at first, and still honestly thinks he doesnt. People like Sabu always confuse Cain, he can never quite tell what theyre thinking and when Cain says one thing Sabu goes to complete opposite direction. There's never any real bad intention to it which helps, but Cain can't help but still want to try and know more. And that has led to him maybe sort of having a crush. I mean he didnt want to make his feelings final... and just because Sabu makes his heart skip when he pays attention to him and stuff.... it doesnt mean that he.... lik es ..... h ... i .m..... ha
Though Sabu doesn't know as much as Emi does about his past, Cain does feel a swell of happiness when Sabu acts coldly towards his brother. Zaidon never did like when he wasn't able to visibly get under someone's skin.
He also worries very much that he might lose Sabu one day, since it seems that any good person he gets close to eventually leaves him one day. (his mom, grandmother, raphael etc)
Sabu doesnt dislike Cain, but he also doesnt quite tolerate him per se. He enjoys his company and finds it amusing to catch him offguard. They have a lot of differing opinions and reactions to situations but for some reason they still click really well.
Sabu can be a bit hard on Cain at times but he means well, his personality just doesn't lend itself to truly comfort him. He's always been quite blunt and forthright so he was never one for being overly comforting.
He actually really enjoys hearing Cain talk, especially considering that Sabu himself doesn't talk much. But he'd never let the other know that.
