001. calpico + a hint of weed | curaçao nights

cw: cursing, mentions of fwb/hookup dynamics, suggestive joke, kys/kms jokes & ofc usage/discussion of marijuana use 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️

wc: 570

you happily trekked outside, your bag hiked up along your shoulder as you leaned against the door waiting for chigiri to trudge out of the club, pushing through countless crowds of people.

"good fucking luck to megs and yoichi because i swear i just saw two back to back bachelorette parties walk in." he sighed before walking in stride with you, moving towards the tattoo shop.

"so, did you finally decide? because i think i'm convinced we should get the star and cloud combo." you spoke, pushing your phone in his face.

"i'm getting the cloud but you get the star." he said definitively, handing the phone back.

"ok but don't put yours in a weird place. put it somewhere normal." you rushed, pushing into the store while the small bell jingles and alerts nagi that someones entered the shop.

the store's atmosphere was calm and slightly cluttered, it kinda brought peace to you and the smell reminiscent of something you knew of all too well. you walked further into the store before seeing the front desk, vacant. nothing but the desk, a small couch and table set out in front of you. you scanned around for any sign of life other than the distant buzzing and light melody of a song that you had grown to love.

"is this shit closed?" chigiri wondered, his head swiveling around for some bit of information but before you can reply, a melodious voice rang out.

"can i help you guys?" he's leaned up against the doorway that seemingly led to specific, set-apart studios. the boy in the doorway sent your mind down a long, winding road of memories before you came back to reality.

you knew those steely gray eyes that were almost always low and bloodshot, covered by white hair that fell just right above his eye. it could only belong to one person. a person that you had grown apart from, yet you felt immediately drawn too.

"nagi?" you asked, ignoring his initial question. his eyes parted slightly larger than normal before falling to their low state.

"shit, y/n?" he asks, before taking in your appearance fully. platinum eyes rake your entire body before his tongue darts out to wet his lips. chigiri's eyes widen when he realizes who he is, everyone standing around in shock.

"nagi, what are you doi-" reo appears, glancing over nagi's outstretched hands.

"oh shitt, y/n? chigiri?" he speaks, pushing past them.

"no wayy, you guys work here?" chigiri starts, he smiles knowingly at you before returning his attention to the two men in front of him.

"own it." nagi throws in, moving out of the doorway and closer to the two of you. his gloves pulled off and discarded in the trash can near the desk.

"perfect. wanna hook an old friend up?" you ask, phone pulled up to the tattoos that you and chigiri decided on. reo looked slightly nervous, almost poised and ready to apologize on nagi's behalf.

"i'd love too, you know i would. but, i only take appointments and i've already got some girl back there that i'm working on." he sighs, clicking his tongue slightly as his eyes scan your body knowingly.

"well, whenever i find out how to make one. i expect a friends discount." you winked playfully, the tension that used to fill up space between the pair of you, gone with time. you smiled softly, watching his lazy grin flood his face.

✎ yn and nagi hooked up for almost a year until they graduated and stopped talking completely.

✎ aside from the hooking up, y/n and nagi were SUCHHH good friends. like they actively hung out and chatted casually.

✎ chigiri is an instigator and proud.

✎ bachira has a list of all the guys you've ever hooked up with. nagi is number 1. kunigami is 3 and oliver is 2.

✎ nagi fully left his client in his studio alone to talk to you and chigiri.

✎ rin came up with the nickname nikki for niko as a combination of his first and last name and it has stuck for years. it's canon in this fic because i said so RAHHH

✎ isagi and bachira's house is named macho dojo casa after ken from the barbie movie but they were both too high to rmr what it was actually called.

WAH

band au!blue lock boys except they're based off of my experiences being in a band !!!

isagi yoichi

- lead singer

- he probably never sang before the band but is surprisingly decent !!

- messes up on the timing all the time

- counts out loud and makes everyone mad 😭

bachira meguru

- drums

- self-explanatory

- speeds up way too much during runs

- messes up on fills

chigiri hyoma

- synth / keys

- he just gives keys

- he was def a piano kid when he was younger and just continued with it

- the most talented out of the group tbh

kunigami rensuke

- lead guitarist

- he gives lead idk what to tell u guys

- i can 100% see ppl editing him to brooklyn baby and him having hella groupies

- he probably played guitar before the band but never learned scales or any music theory 😭😭

nagi seishiro

- bass

- picked bass because he thought it was easier to learn and play 😭😭

- sometimes he doesn't play during runs just to see if people catch on (they do)

- messes up a lot but he says it doesn't matter because people don't hear the bass most of the time (they do)

mikage reo

- backup singer & rhythm guitarist

- rhythm guitarists are slept on u guys r goats (me projecting bc i'm a rhythm guitarist 😭)

- i feel like he'd be a better singer than isagi (isagi's average) but didn't wanna be the lead singer because he hates multi-tasking

- whenever he does sing the editors go crazy

there's a VERY slight chance i might make a band au smau for bllk..!! i love band aus tbh they're my fav !!! i still have no idea who the love interest will be 😭😭 if any of u guys have ideas lmk !!

incident report

sae itoshi x g!n reader : spain team mention, enemies to lovers..sorta

not proofread.

living with sae itoshi was simple enough, the guy was barely there. always away for practice, games and other things. however, when he was home, he was so bitchy. always complaining about something and then locking up in his room.

you were currently in a study abroad program in spain and he was supposedly there to join the country's professional soccer team. you posted an ad for foreigners looking for housing and considering sae did not want to dorm with the other international players, he jumped at the opportunity and that's how you ended up in this situation.

what he failed to mention when he signed the contract was that he was a raging bitch. since you've met the pink haired man, he's done nothing but complain about the most trivial things and ignore you when you express your concerns about the apartments common areas.

as you entered the apartment, tired from a long day of classes, ready to immediately immerse yourself in the afternoon nap you planned on taking. you're met with a set of very displeased teal eyes piercing through your soul.

****

incident 1

"well look who's home." you raise your eyebrows as he continues to glare daggers at you while you place your belongings onto the end table.

"did you eat one of my protein bars?" sae's eyes lower with irritation as he watches you remove your shoes at the door.

"i did...why?" you question, walking into the kitchen, sae silently padding behind you.

"there's no more, obviously. did you think to ask before you took my stuff or do you normally just do what you want?" he grumbles, arms crossing across his chest.

"if you took a minute to not have a stick up your ass, you would realize that we buy the same brand of protein bars, so i always buy double when i go out, so we can both eat them." you roll your eyes, leaning onto the counter to catch the fleeting look of embarrassment cross his face. silence encompassing the entire apartment as you glare at him.

"feel free to apologize." you break the silence, crossing your arms.

"my bad...let me know next time." he mutters, ears red from the embarrassment of being called out.

"whatever." you grumble, moving towards your room.

****

incident 2

your friend silently unlocks your apartment, attempting to ask you which door was your room. you were being very unhelpful, just laughing loudly and slumping onto the couch.

suddenly, a mop of pink hair stalks out, obviously irritated.

"y/n, you are so loud." he groans before noticing you splayed out against the couch, your friend poorly attempting to shut you up.

"sorry to intrude, they're very drunk. just point me to their room and i'll get them situated." your friend pleads, eyes tired from babysitting your drunk antics.

"don't worry about it, it's on the left." he grumbles as he looks at your disheveled, giggly look. smile twitching at the corners of his lips before he promptly turns away and walks into his room.

the next morning, you woke up with the expected splitting hangover. your body felt like a sack of gross potatoes but of course, being the half-responsible person you were, you dragged yourself out to the kitchen to scour for something warm to eat.

when you walked in, your eyes immediately landed upon the note on the stove clock that read 'next time you come home hungover, be a little quieter. soups in the pot to your right.'. sae had signed the note with his name, in tiny scratched letters.

your face warmed at the nice gesture considering sae was not the nicest roommate on the face of the planet. this gesture felt like a truce for all the bitchiness you've been experiencing from him for the last few months.

****

incident 3

as you flopped your head against your desk, feeling highly defeated at your notes that were supposed to be helping your strong attempt to study for your approaching midterms. you heard a knock at your door, trudging to the door and throwing it open, the pretty-midfielder that you happened to live with stood there in all of his glory.

"i ordered food...a little too much. if you wanted any... you've been locked up in here all day so.." he started, looking into your eyes with his clinically bored expression.

"oh...um thanks. i'll come out in a minute, i'm finishing up a flashcard set right now." you smiled weakly, your brain overrun with the topics that you were forcing into your mind. sae nodded gently before closing your door and walking into the kitchen.

as you lazily dragged yourself into the kitchen, you saw the rare sight, somewhat more uncommon that your normally reserved and annoyed roommate was eating dinner on the couch, seemingly waiting for you.

trying to hide the confusion on your face, you quietly shuffled around the kitchen, filling your plate with the delicious food that somehow was exactly what you were subconsciously craving. as you slowly exited the kitchen, sae turned his head slowly. your eyes catching the reddish tint to his ears.

"you can.. join me. you've been studying all day. you should probably take a break." he spoke, clearing his throat anxiously.

you smiled softly, the mental exhaustion slowly taking its toll on you. redirecting your stroll to the couch and sitting next to sae, silently. you quickly thanked him for the meal and the company before eating, your mind racing at the sudden attention you were receiving from him.

"it's not good to study nonstop like that. be sure to take breaks. you'll retain information better." he spoke, before quietly standing up to dispose of his dishes.

"yea... i'll try that. thank you sae.." you smiled gently, you could immediately spot the slight upturn of the corners of his lips. the sight was enough to make your heart race.

but this wouldn't be the first and last incident, where sae caused your heart to flutter. little did the two of you know, feelings were quickly blossoming between the two of you.

***

incident...summary

"wanna have movie night? my exams are finally over." you bounced slightly at sae's door.

"sure. i'm proud of you, i'm sure you did great." he smiled gently before grabbing one of his many blankets that you tended to beg him for whenever you guys had your lame movie nights.

ever since that final incident, you and sae had fallen into a normal rhythm of coming together and enjoying meals. which eventually evolved into full blown movie nights or nights where you just talked for hours on end.

that heart flutter that you felt on the night where sae fed you in your academic stupor, only increased with this sudden change in disposition. the same applied to sae, except it was 10x worse. when sae signed the contract on your lease, he did forget to mention that he was an annoying ass housemate but he also forgot to add that you're literally his type. despite the irritation, he always did find interest in you.

you were sprawled against the couch cushions, awaiting sae's arrival so you could get comfy and start the movie.

"your hair is getting long." you mumbled subconsciously as you reached your hands up to thread into sae's burgundy locs. his head slowly moves into your touch.

"i dont think i wanna cut it. i like it long, it's just not the most convenient for soccer." he answers, allowing you to scratch at his scalp gently, his body almost purring at the sensation.

"i could braid it before games or practices. if you want." you speak, leaning down to glance into his pretty, teal eyes which were staring directly at you. sae's eyes were glowing with a certain feeling that you couldn't understand.

"you're perfect..." he whispered, barely audible. his face burning in anxiety and overwhelming feelings for you.

"y/n, i have to tell you something." sae starts, sitting up so he can face you properly and because if you continued to touch him so gently, he might lose his cool.

"what's up?" you ask, head tilting adorably. quite oblivious to the situation unfolding in front of you.

"do you find it odd that one day, i just became a lot nicer to you? like...i just suddenly decided to interact with you?" he asked.. his hands picking lightly at the skin of his hand.

"hmm.." you paused for a minute, thinking of how to answer this. "well, at first i found it odd but it was more so relieving than anything. when you first moved in, i thought you hated me. so it was a breath of fresh air to finally get to know you." you smiled, satisfied with your answer. sae sighed deeply in relief, that smile that you had grown accustomed too, flashing against his skin.

"i've never hated you. kinda the opposite...i was nervous when i first moved in. you were beautiful.. and i didn't want to make you uncomfortable. so i defaulted into being an asshole... which i apologize for." he stated, smiling sweetly, eyes sparkling. your face burning at the compliment, your stomach swirling with feelings that were dying to come out of you.

"i really like you... and i know you probably don't think of me as that way. i'd understand, i was an asshat. or if you don't want to ruin our living arrangements... i'd understand that too. but.. you deserve to know." he spoke, looking away. his face burning a deep shade of pink.

your eyes widen, the movie that was playing in the background had been long forgotten. you stare into those teal eyes, that you swore could only feel disgust towards you.

"... no. that was in the past. its not like you were a horrible person, you were just nervous. i'd like to go on a date... see where this goes. cause i definitely like you too." you smiled, legs crossed underneath you as your hands rest in your lap.

the smile that lights up sae's face feels almost unreal, all 32 of his teeth shining happily.

"do you mind?" he asks, leaning in gently. his face at a respectful distance but still allowing himself to be close enough for you to understand his intentions. you decided to smile in response before closing the gap between the two of you, your lips gently pressing against his.

the kiss was fleeting but the meaning behind it held significance in both of your hearts. after a year of incidents with your roommate, who would've known you guys would end up in love...

[aboutchigiri]

blue lock boys with kpop stan s/o's !

disclaimer: i am not deep into the kpop universe. i literally know the absolute bare minimum, surface of the industry. so please, do not shoot me down for this 😕.

a/n: and for all the kpop stans who also simp terribly over the bllk boys. i have ur back.

nagi found your obsession with kpop quite interesting considering he has never been interested in something so large. he's heard of kpop, even listened to a couple of songs but he's never taken time to learn more about it. however, he was very willing to listen to you absolutely loose your mind over your current bias or one of your favorite groups/artists comeback. definitely buys you albums so that you can get the new photocard you've been hunting down.

isagi definitely understands the hype. you could show him your bias and we would take a minute but completely agree after analyzing the members talent and appearance. willing to go to any concert for literally any group, whether you stan them or not. probably heavily enjoys boy groups like bts or seventeen. would go on a karaoke date and try and impress you by singing/rapping your biases verse.

bachira is definitely the most informed of all the boys. i just feel like he spends a lot of time on twitter and randomly wandered upon kpop twt and discovered what weverse was and from there, found himself watching every single series of trainees about to debut. when he finds out your into kpop, he definitely asks you to teach him about the basics of being a stan. once you do, he immediately begins the foolishness right alongside you. is faithfully loyal to his biases, on every weverse live, every single video and fancam. you can bet that bachira is on it. i feel like you guys would have dates where you just watch the newest trainee series on youtube and debrief afterwards.

sae doesn't get the hype. the music is cool to him but obsessing over someone who isn't him? kind of ticks the jealousy bug in him but, he does find it cute when he finds you immersed in your favorite group/artists choreo. will even send you the fancams that appear on his for you page occasionally. although, he doesn't understand, he'll never judge. maybe...if he loves you enough (spoiler alert: he does) he'll do the super shy challenge with you but only because you were on the verge of getting on your knees to beg him.

author's closing thoughts: i wrote this because i've been consuming a lot of kpop content but i have NOOO CLUE about any of it. it's like someone saying an inside joke in front of you and not understanding why it's funny but thinking it's funny anyways. i love the genre, the music is great.! i just don't know any of the members names and i'm always mixing up groups 😭😭. i think the only members i know by name are all the newjeans girlies (bcs i really like their music!) jk and keeho because i see their videos all the time of them being goofy. so, if anyone is a kpop fan and wants to educate me, my listening ears are on 🤞🏿.

[aboutchigiri]

the better brother

disclaimers: literally just a brothers best friend au and i had to keep their dynamic because i refuse to live in denial. kinda ooc but not really..

not proofread. brain too dead for that. will proofread later.

rin itoshi knew who you were. you were the only person that his brother brought home, sae's bestfriend.

rin had encountered you in the hallways or in the common areas of his childhood home and was polite, making sure to acknowledge your presence.

from your few interactions, rin found it odd that you actually enjoyed being around sae. sae was miserable and bitched at you, 99% of the time. rin never understood the dynamic.

one day as he walked past sae's bedroom, he caught wind of the conversation.

"i'm just saying, rin's the cuter brother." your voice sounded through the crack of the door, leaving rin stunned.

"don't make me hate you. those are fighting words." sae mumbled, his face scrunching in disgust.

"i'm just saying the truth. you guys are way more alike than you think. you created an extra emo, dramatic version of yourself. no wonder you can't stand him." you sigh, small grin coating your features.

"y/n, please. i can tolerate you and your attitude but this is just insulting." sae straight faces as he throws a pillow at your head. rin takes that as his chance to stalk off towards the kitchen.

'cute?' rin repeats in his mind, your words resonating with him for multiple reasons.

1. you thought he was cute?

2. him and sae being alike? yuck, rin would rather eat dirt.

3. he is not dramatic, nor extra.

so, it was safe to say that you were on rin's mind a lot heavier than you ever had been. however, rin had never interacted with you for longer than 2 minutes, so he had no idea of what you were like.

****

a week later, rin pulled open the door to see your face. you happened to be coming over to help sae train but rin was too busy studying your face to step aside and allow you in.

"earth to rin, i'm trying to come inside." you straightfaced, eyebrow raised as you stared at the blue-eyed boy.

"oh..my bad." he mumbled, stumbling awkwardly to the side and allowing you to proceed further into the house.

"'ts fine. sae out back?" you questioned as you slipped your shoes off.

"yea, he's waiting for you. i think.." he replied. "cool, thanks rinny." you chirped before bounding out to the backyard where your energy was flipped by sae who wanted to train earlier today.

"rinny?" rin mumbled to himself as he wandered to his room.

rin had finally gotten a good look at you. you were beautiful, he's never really been interested in anything other than soccer but suddenly, he had an infatuation with the one thing, he may never be able to have.

there was a pro to this situation. if rin successfully managed to 'woo' you and become your friend, or boyfriend, he would have successfully one-upped his brother and managed to get himself a (girl)friend in the process.

but to do so, rin needed a strategy. so, rin devised a plan to make you his.

***

step 1: get you alone.

rin decided that the most difficult step, would be to find time to pry you away from the leech, that was his brother. therefore, he decided to deploy his first plan.

"sae." rin knocked on the door, awaiting his brother's irritable face. as if on routine, sae swings the door open harshly, his hands crossed over his chest. you were sitting at his desk, spun around to watch the interaction.

"there's a package at the door for you." he answered before sae could reply with an irritable "what".

sae scoffs before turning back to let you know that 'he'd be right back', you shrugged it off and leaned further into the desk chair. rin moved to the side as sae strolled downstairs to sign for his 'package'.

rin watched carefully as sae descended down the stairs before his eyes focused on you.

****

step 2: talk to you.

"um...how are you, y/n?" rin asked, awkwardly as he plodded in the entryway.

"i'm fine. you?" you replied.

"i'm alright, i was just wondering...why do you hang around sae?" he asked, the question hung in the air for a moment while you thought.

"hmm...sae happens to be one of the few people with a personality like mine. so, i hang around." you answer honestly.

ever since you and sae were in highschool, you've heard your fair complaints about your nonchalant attitude and intense behavior when it came to your passions. but, there came a day when you met sae itoshi and you immediately argued with him. a day later, you approached sae with a lukewarm apology and the odd friendship grew from there.

"do you like him?" rin asked, his hands fumbling with the hem of his shirt.

"absolutely not. he's a drama king. if i was with him, i'd loose my mind but, why do you have so many questions?" you asked, your curiosity peaked as you slowly crept towards the entryway.

"just...curious. i'll leave now, sae 'll be back soon." rin rambled before stalking off to his room.

you were left confused by rin's sudden curiosity but this sudden interest piqued your infatuation with the dark-hair boy.

****

step 3: get closer with you.

"y/n, let's go to the convenience store." sae started as he laid off the edge of his bed.

"i'm not feeling great, actually. i'll rest for a bit, get me something healing, yea?" you asked, leaning into the corner of the bed, curled into yourself.

"hmm, you better not be getting sick. i'll run and grab some medicine for you. i'll start some tea and ask rin to bring it up for you." he muttered, sliding his body to his feet before slipping out the door.

sae hobbles downstairs before preparing a cup of tea and gathering his belongings before looking towards rin, who was sprawled against the couch.

"i'm going to grab some medicine, can you bring y/n this tea once it gets hot?" sae asks as he throws his coat over his shoulders.

rin hummed as he watched his brother walk out the door. the tea finished warming up and he immediately set out to deliver your tea.

"you alright?" rin questioned as he placed the tea onto the side table.

"mm, just feeling a little gross." you mumbled before slowly reaching towards the tea cup.

"hmm, sae 'll be back soon but i can stay with you until he gets back?" rin offered as he stood at the side of the bed.

"i dont mind." you mumble before sipping the tea, quietly.

rin silently sat in the room, watching you as you gently fell asleep. he reached out to feel the crook of your neck and you were warmer than an average, healthy person.

"you feel like you have a fever... you probably feel way worse than you seem." rin mumbled as he ran downstairs to grab a cold towel so he could help alleviate the heat of your body.

"rin, you're s' handsome." you mumble as he places the cold towel on your forehead.

rin's cheeks lit on fire at the unconscious compliment. it gave him a slight insight into how you felt towards him, despite the lack of interactions between you two.

"t-thank you. sleep... i'll be here until sae gets back." he answered hurrily, rushing his words.

"don' go." you mumbled. when you came to your senses, you were definitely gonna slap yourself for all this whining, you were exposing yourself and you didn't like it.

"i'll be here y/n. just rest, ok?" rin confirmed, smiling at you sweetly and brushing the hair off of the cold towel. making sure to keep a check on your health until his brother comes back and kicks him out from his room.

"all i said was bring her tea. not sit with her and play nurse. out!" sae quietly yells as he watches rin take his final glances at you before walking out.

****

step 4: confess? or attempt too?

"y/n, can we talk?" rin peeped his head into sae's room when he noticed him run to the bathroom.

"yea, what's up?" you asked, head hanging off the side of the bed.

"i was wondering..if you wanted to go-" rin started, hands nervously rubbing against each other before sae bursts into his room, staring at his brother and his best friend.

"why are you in here, rin and why do you keep bugging y/n." sae straight-faces, staring at his dark-haired brother.

"me and you both know he's not bothering me, sae." you reply, face deadpan as usual causing sae to roll his eyes slightly.

"your number....i was asking for y/n's number." rin blurted out, ignoring the side conversation that was seemingly about to begin between his brother and you.

"oh..." your head turns immediately, eyes widening slightly before holding your hand out, waiting for rin to hand it to you so you could enter ur number.

"but why do you need their number?" sae questions, eyebrows raised unnaturally high.

"none of your business." rin answers before taking his phone and walking towards the bedroom door.

"i'll text you..." rin mumbles as he catches your eyes in a quick glance before walking out of the room.

*****

final step: actually confess

you and rin had been texting and calling back and forth for weeks now, just taking time to get to know each other a bit more before the two of you had finally decided to meet up at a small cafe that was in the busier part of town.

rin was sweating bullets, now that he had taken time to learn about you and all the things you enjoyed doing. he fell even harder and let you into his life, even allowing you to call him while he does his daily mediation, sometimes.

you, were normally a very calm person. your crush on sae's brother had never been a problem until rin's sudden interest and now that you two were finally going out...alone. you were starting to feel a bit nervous.

sae was aware of the situation and contrary to what many would believe, he could care less. he thinks it'd be weird to see you happy to be around anyone, especially someone like his lukewarm brother but, at the end of the day. you're his bestfriend and despite how bitchy you get with him, he only wants to see you happy.

as you walked into the cafe, you caught rin at a table in the corner. conveniently looking disgusted to be there, as he normally did in public.

"hi rinrin!" you wave, even though you're right in front of him.

"hey...so i made you come all the way out here so we can talk but, are you hungry?" he asks, glancing away slightly. his ears we're currently glowing a shade of cherry red that could be perfect for a makeup pigment.

"not really but they have good smoothies. i think i'll order one....also, it must be an important talk for us to come all the way out here." you answered, flipping through the menu before choosing a smoothie flavor.

"i'll pay...don't worry about it." rin mumbles, sliding some cash on the table as you place your order.

"oh....thank you." your face warms slightly, you have to thank yourself for your lack of blushing.

"so...there's honestly no more beating around the bush. i'll be honest and say that i have a thing for you...a romantic thing. and don't feel forced to reciprocate...i understand if you're uninterested or don't want to ruin your friendship with sae." he word vomits, face a beautiful shade of pink as he stares into his water cup. your eyes widened, partially in disbelief and partially in awe.

"you've gotta be stupid if you think i wouldn't reciprocate. i've liked you for a while and sae knows, he doesn't care much. just finds it weird, i don't think anything could come between our friendship. i'm the only person who'll shag balls for him during his trainings." you reply, trying to control your excitement considering rin itoshi, just confessed to you.

the same rin itoshi that you've liked for a weird amount of time. rin, your bestfriends brother who doesn't really like anything except his self care and soccer...rin, who you thought hated you.

"that was actually way easier than i thought... i've been stressing about this for a while. since you had the flu, actually." rin breathes out, small grin gracing his features. "kind of surprised sae doesn't care, i thought this would piss him off." rin chuckles gently, running his fingers through his hair absentmindedly.

"wow, confessing just to piss your brother off? you guys are a new breed of haters." you laugh, savoring the small grin, knowing that you'll hopefully have plenty of opportunities to see this rare scene, more often.

"i really like you y/n...and i'd like to be your boyfriend." rin asks gently, allowing the laughter to subside.

"of course, rinrin. i'd love to have you as my boyfriend." smiles gently, reaching over the table to rub his knuckles softly.

a/n: love-hate relationship for this fic. but i must feed the rin stans. i'm determined to convert you guys into sae stans. accept he is the better brother 🤞🏿🤞🏿.
