Cozy Corner (SRMTHFG!)

Summary: Gibson decides to create a special space for Nova to warm up from the cold.

A/N: This is my SRMTHFG! Secret Santa fic for @rararazaquato! I really hope you enjoy it! I was told you like Gibson and Nova, so I wanted to focus on them for you!

This is my first time ever writing for this fandom. I loved it growing up and recently revisited it and I was surprised and thrilled to see others on this site who post about it even today. I found out about this exchange just in time and have been so excited to participate! Thank you @sweetcircuits for hosting! It's been so fun!

It was no secret that Nova hated the cold. Previous issue with Mandarin notwithstanding, she hated the way it made her shiver and shake like a wimp (her words), hated having to defrost her cruiser every time she needed it in a hurry, hated how it screwed up her focus to the point that it often became all she could think about in the moment.

Monkeys were not meant to live in the cold. She knew that was why it affected her so much, but what made it all the worse was seeing how the others could tolerate it much better than she could. It made her feel less than, and she hated it.

Gibson was the most observant member of the team, second only to Antauri – this also was no secret. But the more he watched Nova during this mission, the more he had to wonder just how dense the others must be not to realize how deep her suffering went.

Thankfully Shuggazoom itself very rarely got cold or saw snow, but out here in the universe when they had to jump from planet to planet to keep up with the Dark One Worm, their chances were just as good as any. They’d only encountered a handful of completely iced-out planets thus far, but every time, Nova shrank in on herself until the mission was over and they were safely on their way into the emptiness of space.

This mission was taking longer than expected, and it was affecting the yellow monkey more and more by the day. Gibson could take it for only so long before deciding something needed to be done, and he was just the monkey to do it.

It had become an unspoken rule on these snow planet missions that should the need arise for one of them to stay with the robot for any reason, Nova would be the one to do it. That way she could keep warm and still feel useful. But on this particular day, Gibson spoke to Chiro privately and asked to swap just this once. His reasons were good, he promised, and his leader believed him.

He was nervous when Chiro broke the news to Nova, but though she grumbled a bit, she dutifully took her place in the lineup and followed the others out into the cold, leaving Gibson with a minimal amount of time to get his plan underway – while also keeping attentive to the team’s needs.

He could handle it.

Most of what he needed was already on hand, thanks to the blizzard that had come through Shuggazoom before. They’d gone out and stocked up on all manner of coats and scarves and blankets before the worst of it really hit, which was all the better, since they didn’t have much time to go shopping out here in the cosmos.

Entering Nova’s room without her permission or even being in the robot felt rather ungentlemanly, Gibson had to acknowledge, but he just had to hope she’d forgive him later when she saw why he’d done it.

~

After a while, the rest of the team returned to the robot. They were all shivering, but Nova looked about ready to collapse.

“S-S-So…c-cold…” she gasped, her words warbled from how hard her teeth were chattering. Then she caught sight of Gibson and leveled him with a glare. “N-Never again…Gibson. Never a-again.”

Gibson felt terrible, but he went to her and gently took her freezing cold metal hand in his. “I’m truly sorry to have subjected you to these terrible conditions today, Nova. But I promise I had a good reason for it. Here.” He tugged her hand gently, urging her further into the robot. “Let me show you.”

The other monkeys and Chiro exchanged curious glances with each other before following after the two of them as Gibson led them to the hall where their rooms were, stopping outside of Nova’s with a sheepish smile.

“I do hope you’ll forgive me for having done this without consulting you first, but…well, just look.”

The door slid open with a woosh, and Nova glanced inside. At first it didn’t look any different than usual, and she was confused. Did Gibson come in here without her consent? It didn’t look like he had. But then her eyes caught on something in the back corner, and she felt her heart begin to race in anticipation. He had been in here. What…?

There was a warm orange glow encompassing this corner of the room. It came from a small space heater that had been turned on ahead of her return so it was already warm for her. The ground was cushioned with the cozy lining of winter coats and pillows, and a makeshift tent-like contraption had been set up out of blankets. It was even built in such a way that Nova could pull a blanket over like a door and fully trap the heat within the tiny space.

She stared at in astonishment.

Gibson gave it a few moments, then nervously cleared his throat. “It, erm…won’t be practically useful for when you’re to stay behind on missions in the future, since you can’t exactly manage the robot’s central computer from here, but—oomph!” He was cut off when Nova nearly tackled him to the floor in a giant hug.

“You’re the best, Gibson,” she said into his shoulder, squeezing him tight.

The blue monkey was obviously flustered, but he tried to brush it off. “Nonsense. Any one of us could see that the cold truly bothers you in ways it does not for us, so I simply did what I felt was logical…” He trailed off when she pulled back to give him a pointed look. He coughed. “And, erm…I wanted you to feel comfortable, and have a place to go when the cold gets too much for you. So…yes. I wanted to make you happy, too.”

Nova beamed at him. “You did, Gibson. Thank you so much. I love it!” She grabbed his hand and tugged him toward the small, warm space. “Come on, you should get to enjoy it too, since you worked so hard on it.”

“B-But this space was meant for you—”

“And now I’m inviting you in. Come on!”

It was a tight fit, but Gibson managed to squeeze into the compact space next to her. He had to admit, actually sitting in the comfy area after going to such lengths to set it up for her was satisfying.

“Hey,” Sparx protested playfully. “What about the rest of us?”

Nova shot him a smirk. “Go find your own!” Then she whipped one of the blankets over as if slamming a door, and everyone laughed.

Later, Chiro and Antauri would compliment him on doing such a great thing for their teammate, Sparx would rib him about trying to score brownie points, and Otto would make notes on his craftsmanship, pointing out things he could have done differently. Gibson took all of it in stride. It simply made him happy to know he’d done something to make Nova happy.

The next time the team had to go out into the cold, Nova grabbed Gibson’s arm before he walked outside and said, “If you need a place to warm up when you come back, I happen to know one.”

Their shared smiles were more than enough for him.

Better In Books (Blue Lock)

Summary: Chigiri is always reading romance, and Kunigami loves that about him. But when his boyfriend claims "stuff" is just better in books, the blonde is determined to prove him wrong.

A/N: I haven't posted a fluff piece here in a HOOOOOT minute, but I wrote this one for @giggly-squiggily a while back and decided now's the time to share, since we're heading into the cozy holiday season! Hope you enjoy!

Kunigami loved that Chigiri loved to read.

He thought it was cute, really – the way the redhead would curl up in a ball when he was at a really good part and he didn’t want to miss a single word. How he’d grin like a goon as his eyes flew across the page, squeezing his eyes shut when he was trying to hold back a squeal of delight.

Kuni thought it was even more adorable when he learned most of what Chigiri read were romances.

“You know,” he said one day after he’d gotten back from training to find his partner right where he’d left him an hour ago, “I love that you love books, but sometimes I wonder if you don’t like the boys in those stories more than me.”

“I do,” Chigiri replied with no hesitation whatsoever, making Kunigami sputter in surprise.

“Come on – I’m the real deal! Those guys are just on paper!”

“Still better.” The redhead finished whatever passage he was in, glanced up, and smirked playfully. It made Kunigami feel at least a little better, knowing he was mostly joking.

Mostly.

“You can’t make me swoon like these guys can. Sorry. Stuff is just better in books.”

“Stuff? What kind of stuff are you talking about?”

Chigiri ducked his head to hide his smile. “Just stuff.”

Kunigami thought for a moment, taking in his boyfriend’s cute reading position, the way his eyes shone as he got back to the boys in his beloved books.

When Chigiri grinned so hard it looked like his face might split, Kunigami asked, “What page are you on?”

The redhead glanced back up at him, confused. “Huh? Uh…” He glanced down to the page number. “198.”

“How many pages total?”

“351.”

Kunigami smirked and flopped onto his bed, staring at the ceiling, mind whirring. “Guess I should have taken another hour.”

~

A little while later, Chigiri finally bookmarked his page, got to his feet, stretched, and muttered something about having to use the bathroom before slipping out of the room.

Kunigami knew he only had a minute to act. He raced over to Chigiri’s bed, carefully opening up the book and thumbing back to page 198, trying to find what had gotten his boyfriend so giddy.

As his eyes skimmed the page, he found himself grinning as well, but for an entirely different reason.

“Oh, I see,” he murmured to himself as he placed the book exactly where Chigiri had left it on the bed and scurrying over to the door to wait for his return.

~

Chigiri returned a couple of minutes later. As soon as the door had closed behind him, Kunigami grabbed his arm and pushed him up against the wall, propping himself up with one arm above his boyfriend’s head.

Chigiri looked startled. “Kunigami, what—”

Kuni grabbed his chin and flashed his best wicked smirk. “So this is what got you all worked up a second ago? Who says I can’t do stuff like this?”

“Did – did you read my book? Kunigami?” The redhead shrank back against the wall as the taller boy loomed closer, but not out of fear. If anything, his eyes were wide, giving away how thrilled he was – exactly what Kunigami had been hoping for.

“You’re my princess, you got that?” Kuni said in a low voice, leaning down so their faces were inches away. “No one else gets to do stuff like this with you. Not even your book boys.”

Chigiri huffed out a giggle, then gasped when Kuni tilted his chin up so their eyes met, lips hovering over the redhead’s teasingly.

“Say it, Hyoma,” he said.

“Y-Yeah. Yeah, I’m…I’m all yours, Kunigami,” Chigiri whispered. He swallowed. “Rensuke.”

Kunigami crushed their lips together, holding Chigiri against the wall as they made out until the both of them were forced to pull away and get some air.

Chigiri hummed contentedly. “That was…unexpected.”

“Did you like it?” Kuni asked, back to his normal self now, suddenly worried he may have been a bit too harsh.

“God, yes,” his boyfriend replied breathlessly, eyes flicking up to his with a mischievous smile on his lips. “Page 220 is even better, if you want more ideas.”

Kunigami laughed, then pulled Chigiri away from the wall and onto his bed, kissing him all over.

He’d get to page 220 later.

hi hello I haven't posted anything here in a MINUTE but I'm obsessed with this AMV for one of my favorite comfort animes and just had to share 💖

[beyondtheticklecloset]

Hey hey- headcanons! Let’s go, Nym! 🤩🤩🤩

If I may, could I request some fluffy SSKK headcanons please? :3 However you go about them is up to you- whatever comes to mind :3

Of course if you’re not feeling up to it, that’s okay too! I wish you a happy day/night and fabulous week! 🥰🥰🥰

Shin Soukoku let's goooooo! 😍😍😍😍 Thank you for the request, friend!! 💖

Shin Soukoku Fluff Headcanons

Once they got together, Atsushi and Akutagawa started inadvertently introducing each other to all kinds of things. Of course the obvious cuddling, tickling, kissing, etc. - but more than that, just everyday things they never really thought about before.

For example, Akutagawa got Atsushi into metal music by accident. He was listening to it one day when they happened upon each other, and Atsushi asked him what he was listening to. Thinking he would scare him off and be able to have his alone time, Aku let Atsushi listen to what was currently playing in his playlist, but although it took our weretiger by surprise, he was strangely interested and spent the rest of the day/night researching metal bands and music and the like. He even found one that Akutagwa had never heard of and got him hooked on it right back! 😊

As for Atsushi, he introduced Akutagawa to the basics of gaming - Super Mario (I may have watched the movie recently and am in a mood, shush). Aku had never had the chance to just sit and play video games, much like Atsushi, but one afternoon Atsushi asked if he wanted to play Mario Kart, and Akutagawa begrudgingly gave it a try - and got addicted to it. Now it's one of his favorite dating activities. He think's it's interestingly odd (and kind of cute) that Atsushi usually picks female characters - Peach, Daisy, Toadette, etc. True to his nature, Akutagawa usually chooses Waluigi. He likes being the bad guy. 😈

Now for one that's mildly unrelated but dear lord if it doesn't make me swoon for them: You know that trope where the hero gets his ass handed to him and his rival/enemy finds him like that and the hero is expecting to be mocked or beat up even worse but instead the enemy gets this enraged look on their face and demands, "Who did this to you?" That's Atsushi and Akutagawa, 10000% percent. Even before they started going out, but ESPECIALLY after. 🥰🥰🥰

Thank you again for letting me indulge in my Shin Soukoku fangirling ways!! This was so much fun to write! 🖤🤍

[beyondtheticklecloset]

For the hcs, I’m about to start watching Big Windup and I’d love to hear some of your favorite hcs for them!! Can be tickle related or not or even a mix of both! I can’t wait to watch it especially since a big part of it is because I absolutely love base/softball and I really want to read your fics for them and know the characters 💖 Take all the time you need and it’s so amazing to have you back on my dash again. You’re still one of my biggest inspirations for writing and I hope you have a great rest of your night 💖

*squeals* EEEEK BIG WINDUP MY BELOVED!! Thank you for the fun request!! I can't wait for you to start it; it's still my favorite anime of all time!! 😍😍😍

(Also thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad I was missed at least a little. It feels good to be getting back into the swing of things!)

Big Windup General Headcanons

I like to think that for as anxious as Mihashi is, once he starts feeling comfortable around someone, it's hard to get him to shut up. I mean, look at how much he lights up when he's talking to Tajima, how open he is with him! He'll ramble about anything and everything - baseball, video games, schoolwork and teachers, anime - everything!

(Lowkey, Abe is trying his hardest to get to that level of friendship with him. It makes him kind of jealous (platonically) that Tajima can make Mihashi open up so much.)

Abe is a terrible singer. He can't hold a tune to save his life and he knows it, so he never joins in when his team breaks out into song, or he'll lip-sync to get by. He doesn't mind it, though sometimes when he's in a really good mood, he'll sing to himself as he's doing chores or homework or something else mundane. His brother may or may not have a poor quality recording of it somewhere (keeping in mind this anime takes place before smartphones were a thing).

Hanai, for all of his talk about being rivals with Tajima and being jealous of him, also has the world's biggest squish on him. He'd love to be better friends than they are and he hopes that as the season goes on, he'll be able to get closer to him. (Tajima is totally clueless about this.)

Tajima is actually an ambivert. Sure, he's fun and wild and crazy when he's out in public and around people, but as soon as he gets home - and especially with a family as big as his - all he wants is to be alone for a little while to recharge his battery. Video games are his favorite way to unwind.

That's all I can think of for now - covering the main four characters of the anime. Thank you again for making my day by putting this in my inbox, and PLEASE let me know what you think of the show once you've started!! 💖

Atsushi and Akutagawa walk into a shop while they're out Christmas shopping. There's a mistletoe above the doorway.

The person working the register draws their attention to it. Atsushi goes all red and fidgety, but Akutagawa just sighs and grabs him by the tie to kiss him.

Several moments later an unbothered Akutagawa and very dazed Atsushi continue their Christmas shopping.

Atsushi is both stunned and elated that that was their first kiss.

The reason for Senku’s absence in Gen’s panel…… 

Gen rocks dresses and girly clothes and does not feel uncomfortable in it at all you can’t change my mind.
