Post #1 - The First Encounter
Obi is a knight in the series Akagami no Shirayuki-hime
He is also a knight in my dreams.
The knight
When I first saw him in anime form he was a hired assassin to scare Shirayuki, the pure maiden of the story. I think back to how he fired that first arrow at Shirayuki, it was a mere projectile to me then, but now, I see it as a vehicle of Cupid's will that the author drove right into my heart.
By the end of the first season, I knew I had feelings for him. Some general features I'll list for you:
Handsome, skilled and fit. Handsome to get you licking your lips. The skills to get you nervous with anticipation. And the fitness to know you're in for a long night
Intelligent and composed. Those traits on there own are okay, together they're fire
Playful sense of humour. If you're a snobby royal, he might just have some fun and make you mad. If you're cute and pure, there is no helping you, he'll make you laugh, he'll tease you, let you tease him back and fall in love with him
Gentle and caring. His soft touch is often unannounced, and that's why it's an unfair, killer move to my heart. Obi developed this the more he spent time with Shirayuki and the others. It's important to develop a sense of family, if you want to be my husband
Obi is a dangerous man, no matter how kind he is, you know there's danger in him. That makes him completely sexy to me. He's no wild beast, he's in control. It's also comforting to know that, because when times get tough, and they will, he won't quit on me and run away. He won't be scared because he is something to be scared of
