Gowen x Hyoga + Cave-In
Hyoga prided himself on being able to read Gowen like a book, and even though Gowen didn't make it particularly hard, Hyoga saw beyond the surface. He saw the anxiety and insecurities that haunted Gowen's eyes, the way he'd shift and rub his shoulder when he was uncomfortable, the way Gowen slowly started to look for him when everything got too much. They grew closer, far beyond what the crew might've imagined possible, but they were both built to protect those in trouble, and protect each other, they would. Hyoga was a lot harder to read than Gowen, but neither minded, Hyoga was content to take care of his part whenever and however he needed.
And maybe it was because, he knew that when the walls would cave-in around him, that Gowen would be there to help him stand up again.
