Wow. Oh my wow. Yes. Anon – this is a brilliant question, and I think you might be leaning a certain way, and would like to know my opinion on it… and I’m hoping we are in agreement here. Because hear me out… (also this turned into a shitpost and I’m sorry I couldn’t stop myself)

THEY WOULD HAVE SUCH A DEEP APPRECIATION AND UNDERSTANDING FOR EACH OTHER THAT THEY MAY HAVE AN INSTANT SOUL CONNECTION

Here’s how it goes down:

1. BOTH THEIR LORDS CAUSE THEM HEADACHES. Like, smh… can you just hear them both complaining about it now?

Kansuke: Milord Shingen WILL NOT take his medicine. I don’t understand why he has to pretend to be such a big tough guy, when in reality he has the worst case of manfluenza to ever be recorded.

Kanetsugu: Oh, you think that’s bad? Try having to run an entire clan by yourself while simultaneously running an adult day care because everyone here is just… so infantile, on top of the fact that I actually HAVE a child to raise! WHO, might I add, would probably do a better job at running a clan than the man I actually serve. 

2. BOTH THEIR LORDS CANNOT KEEP IT IN THEIR PANTS. (a continuation of their conversation is as follows)

Kansuke: Fine, okay. I’ll give you that Milord Kenshin has a tendency to ghost out on you, but MILORD SHINGEN will not only NOT take care of his health, but whether he’s ill or not he cannot spend a single day without his dick in something. He literally brings women in to sweat out his illness. If he would just TAKE the MEDICINE that I so PAINSTAKINGLY MAKE…

Kanetsugu: Interesting you say that, because Milord Kenshin cannot stop himself from taking every pretty little thing and wanting to pollinate with it. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve had to literally stop him from trying to fuck a flower, and yes… I’m serious… and also, he seems to find beauty in everyone and everything so I’m just… It’s a madhouse here.

*both sigh and sip their tea, shaking their heads*

3. BOTH OF THEIR LORDS ARE RECKLESS WHEN IT COMES TO WAR AND DEATH.

Kanetsugu: Also, there’s the whole God of War thing – Milord Kenshin really takes it quite literally and like… just… wants to get drunk and and fight people? If that man dies, what will I do with my life? I have invested so much time and energy- I really should have gone into accounting like my parents suggested… 

Kansuke: Hey man, at least you had a choice. With my profession I literally HAD to take this job or die, so I’m now protecting the Tiger of Kai who wants to take down Oda Nobunaga and gain as much territory as possible under his own rule. This is insane. I can only do so much, while also trying to be invisible. They don’t pay my village enough for this type of abuse.

4. AND YET DESPITE IT ALL, THEY BOTH LOVE THEIR LORDS WITH ALL THEIR HEART.

Kanetsugu: *sighs and stares off into the garden, watching Kenshin and Shingen frolicking along the lake* I really shouldn’t be here. There are better things for me to do, but for some reason… I really love that stupid flower man. 

Kansuke: I know what you mean. I would die for Milord Shingen. I don’t even know why I’m saying that, but… *shrugs shoulders* It’s just… there’s something about him, man.

Kanetsugu: *nods, then pauses, and looks up at Kansuke. Frowns thoughtfully* You know, you’re not so bad yourself. It was very nice having someone to vent with… you wouldn’t happen to enjoy a flask of sake together while our idiot sons, I mean, lords, try to kill each other over there, do you?

Kansuke: *produces flask and drinking cups from seemingly out of thin air* I thought you’d never ask.

Kanetsugu: *blinks* Uh… I was literally about to get up and get us some but… wow?

Kansuke: *hands him a cup* It’s a ninja thing. You’ll get used to it.

*both clink cups and toss back sake, sighing and smacking their lips at the same time. Shingen and Kenshin’s squeals of delight can be heard across the castle grounds*

so yes, anon. I do think they would get along. I think this would be a lovely friendship, and can see it continuing on into the next life in the modern au epilogues with their lords as well. ❤ thank you for asking and I’m so sorry it took so long to answer!!!
