(Yes they live together again at the end how awesomesauce is that)
What I love about them
Samudra and Shamane has a very healthy dynamic. With a similar past , life experiences , and also interests. Just imagining them holding each other as they sat by the river. Talking about their experiences in life and perhaps memories they wish to forget as they share their love and comfort for each other.
Even with different backgrounds, they will always find a few similarities and somethings they both enjoy. The two are great at listening and understanding each other, but there are times where Samudra tends to hide his feelings to Shamane. Causing a short argument, but the two would calm the situation down and resolved it.
Shamane enjoys words of affirmation and physical touch, but he also does acts of service towards his lover. Just as simple as opening a door or grabbing things for Samudra even though the man could do it himself. It tends to be humours for Samudra.
Samudra in the other hand, also enjoys words of affirmation and physical touch. But, he does a lot of gift giving as well. Samudra earned plenty of money from his fame and work, and with said money he’d buy Shamane plenty of gifts. Shamane felt as if he’s being spoiled, but gratefully accepts every gift.
In conclusion, they’re my comfort ship. I love them normally guys I swear (I don’t, I love them so much I want to EXPLODE)
How they met
Samudra knew about Shamane’s existence from his trip to India. The man was so kind and understanding towards him, causing Samudra to feel safer with the man around. The two bonded, even if it means Samudra being flocked by fans from time to time.
But once Samudra’s trip came to an end, Shamane couldn’t help but wanting to know more about the performer. So, he visited Indonesia to meet the man again, as well as learning more about Samudra’s culture and traditions.
How they got together
Shamane and Samudra became great friends. They both learn about each other’s traditions and culture. Samudra sometimes stays in the mountains with Shamane. It was lovely, just getting to know each other with someone you feel safe to.
The two also relate to their pasts. Losing their families in natural causes. For Samudra, it was a flood which he was blamed for since he was the only arcanist around with the power to create and manipulate water. For Shamane, it was a fire engulfing his home, burning every last wood there is.
But now.. They have each other, finally someone they could talk and relate to.
One day, Shamane gets to visit Samudra in one of his performances. Samudra joking about Shamane being his personal bodyguard, but.. sadly that is quite the case. When the man finished his performances, a group of “fans” surrounded him. Causing him to overstimulated and overwhelmed. They didn't mind his privacy at all and getting to his personal space.
Samudra was a man who couldn't reject things so easily. Thankfully, Shamane was there right on time, quickly fending off Samudra. As the two walked out of the venue, Samudra told Shamane all of his experiences. From his love life filled with people looking for fame, or just seen as a weak man who hides behind the curtians.
The shaman was heartbroken, he couldn't imagine how hard Samudra has to live. Working his life as a performer but only to be looked down upon. The two stayed at Samudra’s hotel room (since they were outside of India and Indonesia), as Shamane held Samudra tight.
The performer had never been held so.. delicately. Never been treated like he was truly loved for who he was. That night was a night they could never forget.
Shamane awoken in the night, feeling the bed empty only to see Samudra on the balcony. He joined the man, as they watched the city lights shine. A warm feeling began to overcome them. A sense of tranquility and peace. A sense of.. Love. With a soft and caring move, the two kissed under the moonlight.
And then they date, and then married and then YAYAYAYAYAYYAYAY
