ESee, I don’t exclusively see one as a “top” or “bottom.” More like, I think they’d have their preferences in certain cases. In my headcanon, especially at the beginning of their relationship, they’d default to Kurama bottoming and Hiei topping. My reasons are because 1, I think it takes more vulnerability and willingness to trust others to let someone shove something up your butthole. So I think Hiei would need to get used to intimacy first before he’d let someone do that to him. He’d also have to get used to intimacy where he was in control before he’d be willing to try other types of sex. Typically, the person who tops sets the rhythm. I think it’d start there, and then perhaps move to Kurama riding him, Hiei letting go more and more of that control and letting someone else see him fall apart, before he’d be willing to “bottom.”

With Kurama, I think he’s a total vers, but with Hiei specifically, he is more likely to take the bottom position because of the points raised above. Essentially, he doesn’t want to push Hiei, and he thinks Hiei being the one who is in control and sets the pace will help the situation. That, plus I think it takes a bit more maturity and experience to be comfortable with anal. Since we are speaking of seme/uke, aka top/bottom, we’re talking primarily about anal here. It’s not something everyone likes from the start, it can be painful, feel weird, or just be a scary thought. So I think Kurama, who had done this before, would be more willing to bottom. Also, the size difference might frighten Hiei a bit lol

That said, I adore the idea that later on, when they’re more comfortable and Hiei is totally a-okay with intimacy, that Hiei loves Yoko Kurama going wild on him. 

So, in simple terms, I guess the order goes, Kurama, Hiei, Yoko, with Kurama mostly bottoming, Hiei switching, and Yoko mostly topping.

Hope you enjoyed that explanation, anon lol, and thanks for sending the question in!
