#'guy that should be in the club' no nagi is 'guy that should be spending someone else's money on gacha games'

[ac-liveblogs]

I like that the first player Nagi goes up against once he decides to take soccer a liiiiil bit seriously is Rin "if i'm not the best at soccer i have no reason for living i have no respect for anyone that considers this anything less than a fight to the death" Itoshi, a guy that makes Bachira look well-adjusted

Do you think he regrets coming here yet. do you think he regrets waking up in the morning

⋆ ˚。⋆୨୧˚ when they realize they’re in love with you

feat. oliver aiku, itoshi rin, nagi seishiro, isagi yoichi, itoshi sae, kunigami rensuke, mikage reo

cw + tw. fluff, some angst, fem!reader, aged-up!characters, pro-player!characters, friends to lovers + established relationships, pet names, (!!!)attempted assault (in kunigami’s scenario, but he’s obviously not the assailant), alcohol usage (in oliver’s), maximum self-indulgence

notes. jdjsjsn this is kind of all over the place but i just wanted to word dump some cute scenarios and headcanons

OLIVER AIKU

honestly, he’d get kind of scared. and not in an appalled way like, “psh, i’m oliver aiku! i can get any woman i want so why should i only care about this one person?!”

no, it’s because he’s fully aware of his disloyal and womanizing past that he’s afraid of this. he’s afraid he’ll end up hurting you—the one person he truly cares about—and he believes you don’t deserve that.

you deserve so much better than a douchebag like him.

he keeps that growing pit of adoration to himself and carries on with his life as always, but that can only do so much when he’s so clearly infatuated with you.

the most he lets himself do is tag along on your night out at clubs. however, he doesn’t drink a lick of alcohol. he needs to be sober to take care of you in case you get too wild out there to do so yourself. while he’s there though he talks to a few of the women flocking around, entertains them a bit, maybe as a feeble attempt to get you off his mind and forget about the jealousy rooted deep inside him when too many guys check you out and ask for a dance. but nowadays, he can never find it in himself to take any of these women home. that’s how deep his affections for you have run.

at one point during the night, you approach him with one too many drinks in your system, evident by your wobbly steps and the carefree grin plastered on your face.

“oli~! why don’ yer dance wit me?!” you slur, nearly toppling in front of him if not for oliver dashing forward to stop you from falling on your face.

“i think you’ve had one too many drinks, sweetheart,” he chides. after that he’s draping his large coat over your bare shoulders and leading you back to his car to get you home, while ignoring all the pouty women on his way out.

you object to leaving at first, droning about how the night is still young, but oliver is persistent in getting you home safe and sound. eventually, you doze off in the passenger seat while he’s driving. when he parks in front of your apartment complex, he carries you all the way up to your door, fishes out your keys from your clutch, and finally gets you into bed.

he lingers a little bit longer to make sure you’re all settled and if you need his help with anything, but once the buzz in your system has fizzled and your eyes are fully lidded, oliver assumes you’re out like a light. that is, until he’s sitting at your bedside and he hears the faintest murmur from your lips.

“love you… oliver…” is what comes out in a lovely daze and he almost wants to deny he heard it for both yours and his sake, but all he can do is muster a smile, ghosting a hand along your cheek, and say while you’re blissfully unaware,

“love you too, sweetheart.”

ITOSHI RIN

lowkey annoyed over this because instead of soccer plaguing his mind 24/7, his thoughts are now overrun by you! so he ignores the feeling, thinking it will magically go away or something. but newsflash to rin: it’s not as simple as it looks, and he ends up learning that lesson the hard way.

he spends the next week evading you—declining invites to hang out, sending half-hearted text messages, and ingraining himself in his soccer practices. unfortunately for him, his performance actually gets worse because now all those feelings he’s been bottling up inside his fragile heart are about to burst.

even shidou has been scoring more than him and rin just can’t live that down, especially when the former asks if the reason he’s been doing so poorly is because he and his “little girlfriend” broke up. which isn’t even the case since you’ve both never crossed that bridge.

poor boy goes home one day conflicted over all of this, slouched on the edge of his bed with his hands ruffled in his hair. soon he gets a text from you, which he shouldn’t be surprised by, given how he’s been treating you lately.

but then you’re asking him if he’s okay and rin is utterly taken aback because he’s been acting like such an asshole, yet you’re the one that’s still worried about his well-being.

right then and there rin has a long moment of contemplation, breathing a sigh into his hand which clasps over his mouth. he replies back with a quick apology text before telling you to meet him after his practice tomorrow. the moment he hits send, he tosses his phone on the bed, not willing to wait for that hovering gray bubble to appear on the message window.

when tomorrow arrives and practice is over, his steps are dragging along the pavement outside the training facility. he’s honestly doubting if you’ll even show up, but those qualms are immediately dashed when he sees your figure a few distances away. you’re standing there with apprehension written on your features, which morph into worry as soon as you cross eyes with him.

rin can’t even get a word in or form a coherent thought because the moment you run up to him, you’re blabbering about how he didn’t have to apologize because he was probably working so hard on soccer, chasing his dreams and the like. then, you bring up how maybe you should continue distancing yourself in order to help him focus, and god, that flicks a switch in rin’s head because that is far from what he wants.

all of a sudden, he’s silencing you as he pulls you into his chest. you find yourself buried in his jersey, confused but not drifting away, and even return the embrace when you sense him shake against you.

“fuck, no. i don’t want that all…” his voice sounds like he’s about to break as he mutters those words into your hair. his arms tighten around your shoulders as if you’ll leave him at any moment. you assure him you won’t as you nuzzle closer into his chest.

“then i’m not going anywhere, rin.”

NAGI SEISHIRO

the thought comes upon him when he’s alone in his apartment. it’s not immediate though.

the sunlight seeping through the curtains inevitably wakes him up one very late morning. and by very late, i mean this dozy boy definitely slept in that day, if he couldn’t already tell from his digital clock reading 11am.

even though nagi is always keen on getting plenty of shut-eye, he’s constantly kept on his toes when it comes to having a productive sleep schedule. partially due to soccer practices, but also because you sometimes visit him in the mornings. so normally, he’s woken by the ruckus you’re making while cooking him breakfast in the kitchen.

but this morning it’s… silent. which in hindsight, nagi should be happy about, right? he got to sleep in, after all, and he doesn’t have practice today. what more could he want?

once he shakes off the last remnants of sleep from his body, he finally musters the strength to get out of bed and maybe start his day with something to eat. which this morning is… leftovers. specifically the leftovers from the last time you made him food—a couple days ago.

regardless, he warms them up and sits down with a plate on the table. says his appreciations for the meal and digs in. when the first bite enters his mouth, it tastes the same as when he initially had it, but there’s an empty feeling in the bottom of his stomach he can’t quite pinpoint. he scarfs down a few more spoonfuls until he grows tired of eating, resting his head on the table.

his tummy is full, yet that emptiness persists—it’s been on the forefront of his mind for several days now and it’s starting to annoy him. he can’t determine why that is and what makes those days any different from before succumbing to that void in his heart.

after all, nothings changed.

just that… you went on an overseas trip. without him.

well, it’s not like he was ever going to be invited since you’re supposed to be vacationing with your girlfriends.

ah, wait. maybe he’s just lonely.

no, that can’t be it. he hung out with reo and some of the other blue lock boys the day after you left. even a slacker like him still makes time to see his friends. so what is he missing here?

the question lingers in nagi’s noggin as he drags his fork along the remaining food stuck on his plate. at some point, his phone’s ringing breaks him from his stupor, and he’s surprised to glance over and see your caller id on the screen.

he’s not sure what comes over him, but nagi swears he’s never hit the accept button so fast in his life. immediately, he brings the phone next to his ear, and is the first one on the line to utter “hello?”

“sei, you’re awake! i’m glad i got the time zones right!” you exclaim in your cheery tone that nagi has always been accustomed to hearing in the morning. “y’see i’ve stumbled on a gift shop the other day and found a few souvenirs i’d think you’d like!”

you ramble on and on about your adventures around the country you’re visiting and nagi finds himself absorbing your voice, hanging on every word, and even nodding next to the phone like you’re right here in front of him.

suddenly, his heart feels so full and everything clicks into place again. it’s like his day never actually started until you appeared with all your mirth and energy. even on opposite sides of the earth, you’re still the sun to his moon.

“angel,” he murmurs as you’re in the middle of talking, and you’re silent after acknowledging his call, waiting on his words.

“come home soon. i miss you.”

ISAGI YOICHI

this boy is a mess! he’s the kind of guy who as soon as those feelings start blooming in his chest, he gets super flustered around you all the time. and it’s obvious too.

before, he was super nonchalant with you. treated you like a friend, flirted without even knowing because he’s just that comfortable around you, but when any of his friends or family mention how the two seem closer than you realize, he just freezes and his mind goes blank. erupts in an embarrassing fit of sputtering and denial, face searing red down to the nape of his neck. it’s so cute.

however, he’s not fooling anybody! anyone can tell by the windblown expression on his face—starstruck eyes admiring you as a warm grin overtakes his features—that he’s absolutely smitten by you. he just needs to admit it already.

well, his next outing with you (in which he swears wasn’t actually a date, but c’mon isagi), finally gets him to come to terms with his emotions as he reminisces spending the whole day just laughing his heart out and being so full of that warmth and happiness you give him that makes him feel completely weightless. almost like he can do anything. afterward, when he gets home, he rushes upstairs and literally flails in his bed with the most insane blush on his cheeks. like wow, he’s in love with you.

isagi yoichi is in love with you.

but love to isagi is like a double-edged sword, especially to someone who just escaped that blue lock hellhole and now has to devote even more of his life to his soccer career.

with that carefree sensation comes a new box of trepidations that he’s afraid to open.

what if there comes a time when he would have to choose between you or soccer? he’s hoping that won’t ever be the case. he’d hate to struggle juggling the two and end up breaking your heart.

god, never in a million years does he want that.

the best he can do is take steps to introduce this side of his life to you. he does so in extravagant fashion, by inviting you to come watch him play during his championship game.

to say you were a little startled by his offer was an understatement, but you take him up on it, and promise you’ll be there, especially since isagi went out of his way to get you the best seats in the stadium.

on the day of his match, he’s more nervous about performing well in front of you rather than winning. winning is instinct for him so he has no doubts he’ll claim victory and take home the championship cup. he’s just eager to show you a new isagi you’ve never seen before, rather than the tongue-tied, flustered puppy isagi that’s been vying for your attention lately.

coming onto the field, his eyes are too busy swerving in the direction of where you’re seated than focus on his opponents. the moment he distinguishes your figure at the very front of the stands—draped in a jersey that reads his name—countless butterflies begin fluttering in his stomach. it’s a feeling that he can never truly convey into words.

all he does is let an elated grin spread wide on his lips, cheeks swathed in such a dainty shade of rose that has his teammates swatting the back of his head to remind him he has a very important game to win.

and oh does isagi win. during the match he scores four goals in quick succession, absolutely annihilating the other team to the point where it’s downright embarrassing for the opposing side. the commentators are completely baffled, questioning what has the player so stoked. little do they realize that each of those goals were all made in your name and isagi can’t wait to let you know that later with his championship cup in hand.

ITOSHI SAE

sae is pretty accepting of this revelation. nothing really fazes him after all, and he recognizes that it was only a matter of time before he came to terms with the idea that he might be head over heels for you.

in fact, he takes those feelings in stride.

as if sae wasn’t already a gentleman before this, his mannerisms around you only intensify. he’s constantly holding the door open for you, pulling out your chair, giving you his jacket whenever you’re cold, and so on. you never have to lift a finger when you’re with him. it’s to the point where he’s even sweeping stray hairs off your face and tucking them behind your ear before you’re given a chance to realize they were bothering you in the first place. not a day goes by where he doesn’t place you on a pedestal and worship you in the best ways he knows how.

he’s also gotten very touchy and a tiny bit possessive (okay maybe more than a tiny bit). sae isn’t the type to initiate pda regularly, but whenever he feels threatened in any way—which is very rare but not impossible—he always has a hand on you. whether it’s on your lower back as he ushers you closer to him, or intertwining your fingers together before sending a cold, piercing glare over his shoulder at the offending party, he always makes his intentions with you known even if you yourself are oblivious of them.

it’s not like he’s controlling or obsessive either. he simply wants to make you feel special. to be frank, he’s setting such a high standard that no other man can compare to him.

on more than one occasion, he’s had to travel overseas for international business, and the first time he left the country for an extended period without you, he grew incredibly homesick. not because he particularly misses the normalcy of his life back in japan, but because it always feels a little empty, and frankly, boring without you by his side. he’s grown to appreciate the moments he shares with you, from the time he wakes up beside you to when he falls asleep while you’re in his arms.

after that, whenever he has to fly out of the country, he insists you tag along with him, and goes out of his way to pay for all your expenses—plane ticket, lodgings, everything. most of the time, you try turning down his offer, stating you don’t want to be a hindrance while he’s working. yet sae counters by saying it’ll be more trouble for him if you weren’t there with him than not, and who are you to object when he’s staring at you with such unwavering ocean eyes, looking as if you’re the whole world to him.

KUNIGAMI RENSUKE

deep down, kunigami has always held you closely in his heart, regardless if he’s aware of the love he possesses behind it.

it’s natural for him to want to protect the people he cherishes, but with you, you activate something so visceral inside him. it scares him sometimes, how you can make his whole body rattle, blood pumping erratically to the point where all he can hear is the ringing in his ears and his heart thumping wildly out of his chest.

that’s especially the case when he receives a late night call from you while he’s settling himself at his apartment. he’s slightly surprised by the random call. you don’t normally reach out for him at this time since you’re either going to sleep or hanging out with friends in the dormant hours of the night.

accepting the call, he brings the phone to his ear.

“hello? y/n?”

“r-ren? u-um, can you please stay on the phone with me..?” you whisper in the receiver, tone quivering to a frightening degree. he hears the anxiety laced in your voice and suddenly sirens go off in his head.

“where are you?” he questions sternly as he instantly stands from his seat, reaching for his car keys.

“i just left a club and was going to walk to the station, but… s-someone’s–”

kunigami doesn’t need to hear anymore to understand the full picture that makes his bones quake for your safety as he dashes out the door.

“i’m coming to get you, so send me your location. until then, stay in an open area and don’t stop talking to me, okay?”

you affirm quietly before moving your phone from your ear to pin your location to him with trembling fingers. as you’re doing so, kunigami’s already started the ignition to his car, revving on the roads with little care of the law. he’s never driven this fast in his life, swearing he’s a defensive driver, but that means nothing to him when your safety is on the line right now.

if he grips his steering wheel any harder, it might just break off from his bare strength alone. a single glance at the map on his dash tells him he’s less than a minute away from your position. in the last stretch, he can finally spot your frightened silhouette under the dimly lit lamps.

as soon as you recognize the model of his vehicle, relief washes over your tense shoulders. you take it as your chance to escape your precarious situation, but the shady man a few meters away decides to attempt a last minute assault, dashing in your direction.

when the fiery-haired athlete sees this, his restraint all but snaps. he gets out of his car without even slamming his door shut and spontaneously reaches for you, pulling you behind his intimidating, brawny frame before punching the man square in the jaw. the assailant tumbles onto the hard ground, completely knocked out.

kunigami’s attention immediately turns to you, putting all his efforts into your well-being as he yanks you in his protective embrace. the adrenaline from both your bodies wears off and the striker can sense you bursting into tears against his chest.

“ren, i’m so sorry, i was out with friends and i thought it would okay for me to stay out later even though they wanted to leave, and-and–” your words collide with your jumbled thoughts, but the last thing kunigami wants is for you to apologize for this scumbag’s actions.

“shh, princess. it’s not your fault,” he whispers next to your ear, “fuck! if anything happened to you… i… i…” his voice breaks apart. his hold on you tightens just imagining if he was even a second late coming to your side. for now, he’s thankful to have you back safe and sound, tucking you closer to his heart.

MIKAGE REO

when reo considers that what he was feeling might no longer be a crush, but rather actual love for you, he’s a bit doubtful. mostly because he’s approached countless girls with romantic intentions in mind, however, to his disappointment, he’ll discover that they’re mainly interested in his status instead of him as a person. his good looks and charisma are just a plus for them. therefore he’s very hesitant to fully act on these emotions, afraid to have his heart broken again.

however, he slowly starts accepting the notion that he might be wrong about you. it shows in the way you’re always asking about his life outside of him being an heir to a billion-dollar corporation. he’s stunned by how your features can glow with such intrigue whenever he speaks about his time in blue lock, leading to his journey to becoming a star player in the land of professional football. most girls he entertained would fake interest in this before quickly changing the subject.

eventually, they’ll throw themselves on him to garner his favor and try gaining access to his parents’ wealth. however, you seek greater value in sharing the same experiences with him. you take him out to watch movies, hangout at the most unique cafes, and have the time of your lives at amusement parks.

reo’s used to his dates borderline demanding him to drive them out for extensive shopping sprees or book them dinners to the most high-end restaurants in the city. it becomes exhausting when all his partner sees in him is a personal wallet for them to call on whenever they’re eyeing the newest luxury trends displayed on shop windows.

so to have a person like you by his side, who doesn’t determine his value on such materialistic facets is… refreshing… but also just as frightening because he’s afraid of losing such a precious person like you.

though it may be counterintuitive, reo means to return your kindness by spoiling you, thinking you’re someone who genuinely deserves to be dolled up and treated like royalty.

the first time reo swipes his card on a hefty purchase for you, you’re a little bit overwhelmed, going on to say he didn’t have to do all this. but the man is difficult to argue around, what with his suave words and charismatic demeanor that makes it hard for you to say no to the jewels and dresses he wants to adorn on your body.

then as if he couldn’t have pampered you anymore, he also brings up the offer for you move into his penthouse so you don’t have to worry about rent while making ends meet. of course, you bring up the case that you don’t want to rely on him for money—that you simply enjoy being with him—but reo counters with similar reasoning.

“c’mon doll, just let me do this for you,” he insists. “you’ve done so much for me already, and i just want to make sure you know how special you are to me.”

Yandere Makoto X !Chubby Reader - My Love Burns For You

There you were…

So carefree and happy; swaying gently from side to side on the park bench as your eyes scanned the lake, just enjoying the wonderful weather and day.

Makoto bit his lip as he continued to stare at your form from behind the bushes where he hid well. Having done this many times before, he knew how to disguise himself well in the bush as to not raise anyone’s suspicions. His Green eyes scanned your body and the way it hugged your school uniform – you looked delicious.

Ever since you moved here from America, he was intrigued by you. Being Nagisa’s cousin, you were bubbly and hyper and just so damn cute all the time. You befriended the swim team pretty fast, accepting all of them as your friends since they were Nagisa’s friends.

Makoto was attracted to your personality. Always smiling and offering good words and thoughts to those around you and not even batting an eye at the whispers that started up around the school. This angered him to his core. Students always calling you names and putting you down just because you were a bit bigger than others, even saying it to where he knew you heard, but you still carried on with a giant smile on your face; one that was always contagious.

Then he noticed your sweet form.

The way your body curved and dipped, the rolls and pudginess that adorned you. You were soft in every sense of the word and Makoto wanted you to himself.

Wanting to keep an eye on you, that’s how the stalking started, but he never saw it as that. He was keeping an eye on you was all. Making sure that you weren’t influenced by others and that you were safe. Having been doing this for eight months now, he knew your schedule down pat. After swim club, you always head to the park to just relax and feed some of the ducks that usually stayed there. You’d always stop by the convenience store on your way home to grab a sweet treat and eat it with a cute smile too.

His favorite part though was watching you at home. You were usually home alone a lot since your parents both work jobs that make them travel majority of the time.

Makoto had a safe place to watch you in the backyard, peeking into the dining room window off to the side.

The way your chubby form would dance around the kitchen while you cooked dinner for yourself, or just dancing for the hell of it. The way your body moved; wide hips dipping and round ass shaking in different directions with no care in the world. Those moments always excited Makoto, wanting nothing more than to press his body up from behind you and move along with you, grabbing any part of your soft, supple body he could in his large hands.

“(Y/N)-Chan!” A high pitched voice broke the Green eyed swimmer from his dirty thoughts, his eyes scanned where you still sat on the bench as Nagisa ran over to you.

Gritting his teeth, Makoto watched as the short blond hugged your soft form, his arms wrapping around your middle as he nuzzled his face into your neck. That should be him hugging you like that…not Nagisa.

“Hey Nagisa, what’re you doing here?” Your cousin smiled and leaned his head on your shoulder.

“I was just passing by and knew you liked to relax here,” You hummed in acknowledgement as you both stared at the lake a sense of relaxation filling the air. “Oh yeah!” Turning to look at your cousin, you waiting for him to finish.

He bolted up with an excited grin on his face.

“I wanted to see if you still wanted to join Rei and I this weekend on that little out of town trip we were planning!” He grabbed your chubby hands and gave you his famous puppy dog eyes.

Your laugh broke through the silent park at your cousin’s actions.

“I’ll let you know tomorrow Nagi, I have some things I need to finish.” The blond only pouted, but nodded nonetheless knowing you were piled with homework and other projects at the moment.

Still pouting, Nagisa only nodded as he hugged you once more and bounded away with a wave saying he was heading over to Rei’s to help him pack for their upcoming trip.

Makoto’s mind was still reeling at what he heard. You were actually considering going on a trip with those two? Clenching his fist, his nails dug into the skin of his palm as thoughts of you having fun with Nagisa and Rei filled his mind.

No!

You were supposed to have fun with him. Laugh and enjoy his company, not anybody else’s. What if something happened to you on the trip? Those two couldn’t protect you that was for damn sure.

Making a quick decision, Makoto quickly looked around and nobody was in sight of you two – good. Slowly easing himself out of the bushes, he quietly inched his way toward the path to make it look like he just walked into the park. Brushing off dirt and any stray leaves, he started walking over to your form on the bench.

“Hey there (Y/N)-Chan!” Your (eye color) eyes darted over at your friend as a wide smile spread itself across your chubby face.

“Hi Makoto, what’re you doing here?” You tilted your head to the side with an adorable look on your face. You were so cute and you didn’t even know it. That look almost made him want to scoop you up in his arms and take you away from everything.

“Just enjoying the day, I knew you came over here to relax and thought you could use some company.”

You smiled at his words and patted the spot next to you as he nearly melted at the chance to be close to you once more. Sitting down on the bench, he felt the side of his leg brush against yours. Just with that little bit of contact Makoto was nearly losing it.

“That’s nice of you Mako, thank you.” You gave him a cheeky smile, your dimples shining through.

“Y-Yeah, of course (Y/N)-Chan,” A comfortable silence settled between you two as you both just relaxed and enjoyed each other’s company. “Don’t go on that trip with Nagisa.”

Those words caught you off guard a bit. Nobody but your cousin, Rei and yourself knew about the trip. “Mako, what’re you talking about?” You turned your body a bit so you were facing him.

“Don’t go.” Makoto’s voice became a bit demanding as he gazed into your eyes, a fierce gleam to them – a look you’ve never seen before.

You just smiled thinking he was concerned about your safety. “Listen Mako, don’t worry Rei and Nagisa will take care of me, besides I’ll be fine nothing will ha-.” You were cut off by a large hand grabbing your soft chin. Nothing came from your mouth as you were trying to process what the hell was going on.

“You’re not going anywhere (Y/N)-Chan; not without me.” He gripped your chin a bit tighter, a soft whine escaping your lips. His eyes lingered on your lips longer than necessary. Makoto was imagining how they would feel against his.

“Makoto, you’re scaring me, what’s going on?” He could tell you were indeed scared, the waver in your voice gave it away, but the fact that you were practically putty in his hands at this point made him smile in satisfaction. It just meant that his (Y/N) will listen to him.

“Nothing (Y/N)-Chan, I’m just protecting you like a lover should.” Licking his lips, he watched your lips open and close as you tried to come up with a response.

“L-Lover? Makoto, we’re just friends that all, I’m not su-.” His lips smashed into yours making your words stop. One of his arms wrapped itself around your pudgy waist as his fingers sank into your soft skin. He moaned a bit at the feeling. It was everything he imagined and more.

You tried to push away from him, but he was too strong and only wrapped his arms around you more, pulling you closer to his muscled body. His tongue slid along your bottom lip, but you resisted, not wanting this to continue. Makoto wasn’t going to let that happen; you were his after all. Guess he had to be a little rough with is precious little (Y/N). Since you denied him access, he bit down on your bottom lip making you yelp in pain as he tongue darted into your mouth sliding over all over his new territory.

The arm that was around your waist started to tug onto the waistband of your skit. His hand snaked under the waistband of your skirt, feeling the softness of your panties as his large hand groped the supple flesh of your ass. Letting out an involuntary moan, the swimmer grinned at the cute noises you made, wanting to hear more.

But not here where others could look at your cute round, red face.

Pulling his lips and hand back, you tried to catch your breath. Your mind was reeling and you were so confused at Makoto’s actions.

“M-Mako, w-what’s going on?” He didn’t answer you, only got up and grabbed your hand, pulling your chubby body up and into his toned one. Both of his hand wrapped around your waist as his hot breath hit the shell of your ear.

“Silly (Y/N)-Chan, let me tell you what’s going to happen.” His fingers dug into your skin a bit making you wince at the pressure. “We’re going back to my place and spend some more time with each other and from now on, you spend the weekends at my house… is that clear my pretty little (Y/N)-Chan?” Your head nodded, no words escaping your mouth as you stood there petrified at how Makoto’s personality flipped on a dime. This wasn’t the nice, sweet guy that you knew.

His large hand gently gripped your soft chin, making you flinch a bit at the movement. “Don’t worry (Y/N)-Chan, I won’t hurt you unless you give me a reason to that is.” You met his eyes as he held your chin up. His eyes were crazed, something in him snapped.

With that lingering threat still in the air, Makoto leaned down and captured your lips in another kiss, claiming what was his by force of course. Your body went slack as you gave in, you knew there was no way out. Makoto was unstable and all he wanted was you and now he had you. Shakily, your pudgy arms wrapped around his neck as you deepened the kiss; tears starting to fall from your eyes.

He moaned in appreciation at how well you were submitting to him. Breaking the kiss, he smiled down at you and softly tucked some stray hairs behind your ear.

“See how easy it is to listen to me (Y/N)-Chan?” You mutely nodded, your eyes following his movements closely as he grabbed your school bag from the bench and proceeded to grab your soft hand in his large one and head down the path.  

You could feel Makoto give you a side glance as you quickly squeezed his hand as the both of you continued down the walkway hand in hand looking like any other normal couple, but it was just a façade.

“I love you (Y/N-Chan, I hope you know that.” Makoto gave you a smile, the smile you used to swoon over, but now you feared it.

“I-I know you do Mako.” With that you turned to look ahead only to have him give your small hand a harsh grip. “I-I love you too Mako, forever and always.” You gave him a tight smile hoping that would appease him for the time being.

“My cute (Y/N)-Chan.” He cooed at you. You sighed in relief, but your mind was running at a hundred miles an hour.

“(Y/N-Chan).” Your eyes snapped up to Makoto who had a dark look to him. “Remember to tell Nagisa you won’t be going on their trip, alright?” He placed a kiss on the crown of your head as you nodded.

Its been a month since Makoto forced this unwanted relationship onto you and to everyone else around you, it just seemed like the two of you were in a happy relationship.

Makoto would always have his arm around you, holding your hand or giving you kisses in public to make a statement that you were his and only his.

Right now you were at Makoto’s house, it was the weekend and of course, you stayed over on the weekends. It always worked out perfectly since his parents were usually away on the weekends with Ren and Ran at their swim meets.

It was just you and Makoto. Just as he said it would be and you’ve been on your best behavior doing everything he wanted and being ‘such a good (Y/N)-Chan’ as he always said.

You were in the kitchen making dinner for the both of you and you could feel eyes boring into your form. It always brought shivers to your spine because you knew he would just stand somewhere and just watch you do whatever you were doing.

Soon, arms wrapped around your soft middle as chaste kisses were placed along the slope of your neck. You froze a bit at the contact as you stopped stirring the contents in the pot.

“Mmm, keep cooking (Y/N)-Chan, I’m just having some fun.” With that he went back to kissing your exposed skin, his large hands skimming and gripping your supple flesh without a care in the world. Obeying his words, you starting the stirring again, but soon, you felt his fingers playing with the waistband of your sweatpants. Your breathing hitched a bit at the contact. You have yet to make it this far and you were not ready for it.

Sneaking his hand into your pants, he cupped your clothed heat and started stroking it gently, his other hand cupping your breast and giving it a hard squeeze making you drop the spoon from the feeling. You weren’t ready for this.

“M-Makoto, stop!” You started shaking and thrashing your body, not smart near a hot stove, but you were panicking at this point. He quickly dismissed your words and pinned you against the stove, you could feel the heat near your stomach, but not enough to burn you which you were grateful for.

“Stop, now why would I do that?” His hand that was pinned in place as well moved your underwear to the side, his fingers slipping up and down your lips. You bit your lip trying to not make a sound, it would only make him more eager.

“I’m not ready Mako! Please, give me more time!”

He didn’t even answer you as he plunged a finger into your opening making you scream out. You felt tears prick your eyes as you tried to thrash around more as he started to pump his finger in and out and even added more stretching you out.

You threw your head back, hitting Makoto in the chin making him break his hold on you as you staggered around as the tears slid down your cheeks. “You little shit.” Makoto had this look in his eyes, the one that scared you to death. You shook your head and pressed your body into the corner of the cabinets.

“Y-You wouldn’t stop! I’m not ready for that Mako!” He wasn’t listening as he held his chin in his hand.

“You need to be punished.” His voice was monotone and his eyes were void of anything. Before you could respond, he quickly made his way over to the stove which was still on and moved the pot that was on the burner and snatched your wrist.

“No! Mako, stop! I’m sorry, I won’t resist you again!” You screamed this out in fear as he brought your wrist toward the hot burner, but stopped just above it.

You glanced over as Makoto stared at you with that gentle smile he always wore. “Oh, I know you were resist again (Y/N)-Chan, otherwise you’ll get hurt even worse, isn’t that right?” You nodded your head.

Maybe he wouldn’t hurt you now. His smile morphed into a smirk as your eyes widened. He slammed your wrist onto the hot burner making you scream out in pain only to have him slam a hand over your mouth, your skin burning and blistering at the extreme heat it was exposed to. Tears rushed down your cheeks as you thrashed around more trying to get your wrist off the burner, but Makoto held it firmer on it.

After a good fifteen seconds, Makoto brought your wrist up from the burner and released your mouth as whimpers and tears continued.

“Now,” Makoto steered you toward the kitchen sink where he ran cold water on the burn he inflicted. “Is my (Y/N)-Chan going to be a good little girl now?” You nodded as you looked at your charred and raw wrist.

Giving you a gentle kiss to your forehead, he gave you a soft smile.

“That’s my good (Y/N), now, let me get this cleaned up, can’t have you hurt now can we?”

Episode 1: Spending Time with Mitsuki

(other cards / parts in the directory)

Translation under the break.

-

Staff: .......That's all for the outline of "RabbiTube."

Staff: I'm planning to introduce a part of the video in "NEXT Re:vale" as well!

Staff: We are hoping to show a side of you that people usually can't see on TV. We leave it in your hands!

Momo: I'm looking forward to it! 

Yuki: Really anything, it's okay to strip down and show everything. 

Mitsuki: Hahaha, please be gentle with me! I'll have to take a look and study up a bit....! 

Gaku: You know, Tenn, you were watching videos on RabbiTube the other day, right? It could be helpful as a reference. Did you figure anything out from it? 

Tenn: .........I was just watching a cat video. 

Gaku: What, it was just a cat video? That's not helpful. 

Ryunosuke: .....No, the cat videos could be helpful too! Like with what kind of behavior can entertain or give people a sense of healing..... 

Gaku: Wait, Ryuu. We can only use a few of them as reference. 

Yuki: .....Cat Gaku, that would be nice. 

Tenn: ..........Hehe....... 

Gaku: Hey, Tenn, were you laughing at me just now?!

Riku: A cat......! Like, a video of Iori going to a cat cafe?

Iori: Please stop. Why would it be me?

Yamato: Wait, if it is a video like that, I don't want to do it...... 

Tamaki: I wanna do "Terrific Pudding"! 

Sogo: ........If we're choosing, I want to try doing "The Top 100 Spices in the World"..... 

Nagi: I want to have a Kokona watch party!

Mitsuki: Isn't that just the same as always for you guys?! 

Iori: .....wait.... a video petting animals is a little cliché,  but it has a certain charm to it..... 

Riku: Did you say something, Iori? 

Iori: No, I didn't say anything.

Momo: Hahaha! Great! You all have some great ideas!

Momo: This is what I am talking about! I hope to show off the "everyday you" on RabbiTube!

Yuki: Well, I'm looking forward to working with you all this year as well.

IDOLiSH7 & TRIGGER: Thank you for this opportunity! 

Riku: This year's birthday project is to become a RabbiTube creator......! 

Sogo: We always have so much fun hanging out in the RabbiChat. I might miss doing it like that. 

Mitsuki: ....... I might miss it too. Even though it's nice we can give a video to fans, I still want to celebrate with all of us together!

Yamato: Well, we've been doing it all this time, haven't we? 

Nagi: ...... But, we've been doing a lot of work separately lately. I can understand how difficult it could be to schedule it....

Tamaki: So we can't eat the cake Mikki makes for us? 

Mitsuki: I will definitely be making a cake! Right, Iori?!  

Iori: Yes, of course. I’ll help you. 

Riku: Hm.... Celebration....... celebration.... 

Riku: Aha! Okay, well, how about we take the birthday person somewhere? We can all plan it and go out together. 

Riku: It might be hard to all go out together...... Let's ask the managers to schedule it so then the ones who can make it can all go out together! 

Mitsuki: Going out.... Until now we've been partying in the RabbiChat, so it could be fresh and new!

Yamato: It would be a shame if we all can't go, but maybe deciding where to go together could feel like a party too.... For me, a beer brewery would be good. 

Mitsuki: You can't just choose by yourself! 

Tamaki: Then, we can take a lot of photos and videos for the ones who can't go. We could send them in the RabbiChat. 

Nagi: OH! That's a wonderful idea. It'll make it feel like we are partying together. 

Iori: People might be happy if we upload it on Rabbiter (twitter).

Sogo: Sounds like fun.....! How about talking to the manager about it tomorrow? 

Riku: OK! ...... It's going to be another year of fun birthdays! 

Mitsuki: Awesome....! I didn't realize there was a festival this close to us with outdoor theaters this big!

Iori: There are also food stalls and other small attractions. 

Iori: Nii-san, I hope you can do something here with a movie that you like. 

Mitsuki: .....Thanks, Iori, Yamato-san. You've really put a lot of thought into it for me. 

Yamato: I didn't do anything. Ichi came up with the idea, since you're so into movies. 

Iori: .....Nikaido-san was the one who came up with the festival though? So, I'm the one who didn't do anything. 

Yamato: No, no, if you didn't have the idea, then I wouldn't have searched for it, Ichi. 

Iori: But, all I could think of was like going to the movies or doing a pilgrimage of Nii-san's favorite movies. 

Mitsuki: Iori...!

Iori: Ahh... 

Mitsuki: Well, that doesn't change that you both really thought about it, right? Thanks! Really! 

Iori: .....no...... As long as you enjoy it, Nii-san, then everything is OK. 

Yamato: Ichi and I already did the RabbiTube video, so we had a lot of time on our hands. We can fully enjoy it. 

Mitsuki: It's kind of funny that I'm going to be entertained by the two of you. 

Yamato: Wait, do I have to entertain you?

Iori: Leave it to me. I've done a lot of research. 

Tsumugi: I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting.... The parking lot is really far away.... 

Mitsuki: Oh, hey! Manager, you made it! Isn't it great?! Iori and Yamato-san found this festival for me!

Tsumugi: .......Wow.....! It's a really amazing place! It's really calm even with all these people! I can even hear the movies being played. 

Tsumugi: It's the perfect festival for a movie lover like Mitsuki-san. 

Mitsuki:  Right? To be honest, I thought we would be going to a cooking studio or a futsal [1] field. 

Yamato: Ichi was obsessed with finding a great movie. 

Tsumugi: Did you have a reason for that? 

Iori:  ....... When I was young, I went to the movies with Nii-san, and I was really annoying to him.

Mitsuki: Huh? I don't remember what happened....!

Iori: The theater was so loud and dark, I cried and caused a scene. 

Mitsuki: Ah........ I  think I remember that! You really have a good memory!

Yamato: From that, it sounds like a really funny story..... 

Iori: ..... Because I started crying, we had to leave in the middle of the movie, so we couldn't watch the movie Nii-san liked. 

Iori: That was the last time I went to the movies with Nii-san. 

Mitsuki: ........Iori.....

Iori: You might have not thought it was a big deal, but for me, it was really important. 

Yamato: Alright, so today you'll have your revenge. 

Tsumugi: So you had that kind of reason for all this.... 

Iori: Yes. I've already researched all the attractions and booths perfectly.

Iori: Nii-san, if there's something you'd like to eat or do, just let me know. 

Mitsuki: .......haha. This place feels even more special than it did just moment ago.

Mitsuki: Iori, let's have fun today!

Iori: OK.....! 

Yamato: Uh, I'm not interrupting anything, am I? It's alright for me to be here?

Iori:  Far from it. Nikaido-san, you'll have an important role to play.

Yamato: Eheh........ 

Iori: They have a theater zone that is 18+. 

Iori: I can't go in, so you'll have to take my place. 

Yamato: There's a zone like that? Well, would you want the manager to go in with him? 

Tsumugi: What?! 

Iori: ......I'm not sure what you're thinking now, but it's a place that older people can also enjoy. It's not anything weird, like you're thinking.

Yamato: What the heck..... 

Mitsuki: You don't have to be so obviously let down!

Mitsuki: Is it okay to go to that theater zone without Iori, though? 

Iori: Yes. In the meantime, I have some things to get ready with our manager. 

Mitsuki: What would that be?! 

Tsumugi: You'll have to wait to find out! .....Alright, everyone, let's all enjoy this wonderful place together....! 

Mitsuki: Ha....... It's like I'm in a dream or something.... 

Iori: The set recreation exhibition was really amazing. 

Tsumugi: Yamato-san, thank you for saving a spot for us. 

Yamato: Oh, I think I got a really good spot. You can look forward to it. 

Mitsuki: Oh, Yamato-san, try this one!

Yamato: Wow, what is this? It's completely brown..... noodles? 

Iori: It's a mix of two different types of noodles, stir-fried and topped with block-cut meat. 

Mitsuki: A movie meal! They're selling recreations of the food in movies! 

Yamato: Th--thanks for the food. ............ It's good! 

Mitsuki: Right? This is so exciting! 

Iori: Let's make this one at the dorm later. 

Mitsuki: Good idea! We should call over Yaotome or Yuki-san!

Iori: That would be a lot of fun. 

Yamato: It's like a movie club. I don't want to get involved, so I'll just hole up in my room that day..... 

Iori:  Nikaido-san, did you get a tent space in the theater zone? 

Yamato: Wow, you already knew? There was a spot open that looked like a camping spot, so I reserved it. I heard you could play whatever you want in your own tent? 

Iori: You got it.....! Thank you. I could attack you with a hug right now, Nikaido-san. 

Yamato: What? It's that great?

Iori: Well, I won't actually hug you, though. 

Yamato: I feel like I just got rejected.

Mitsuki: Oh, what would we do there, in that place you were just talking about?  

Iori: .....I would like to show you a video that Nikaido-san, our manager, and I have prepared. 

Yamato: Ah, that's what you're talking about....!  

Iori: I'm surprised that Nikaido-san is so bad at guessing, but we've been recording birthday messages for Nii-san from a lot of different people. 

Mitsuki: Eh..... But how? You guys have been so busy lately.... 

Tsumugi: Everyone has been really supportive, and they all wanted to say happy birthday to you, Mitsuki-san. 

Tsumugi: Mr. Shimoka, especially, was into it....! 

Yamato: It was good that you could do all this, Ichi. 

Iori: No, this time it just went really well and it was the right time and place. 

Mitsuki: ......Th--thank you.... really.... I, I don't know what to say.... 

Iori: Nii-san, all you have to do is smile. That's the best thank you. 

Mitsuki: Haha..... ...... OK!

Yamato: Save your tears until you actually see it.

Tsumugi: Hey, let's all take a picture together to remember this moment....! 

Tsumugi: OK, cheese....!!!

Gaku: Nikaido, happy birthday. Let's keep on trucking!

Banri: Happy birthday, Yamato-kun. We'll hold a party for you after the "12 SONGS GIFT" solo live, like we did with Iori-kun.

Sogo: Happy birthday, Yamato-san. I'm glad I get to celebrate your birthday as a thanks for all you've done to help me.

Rinto: Thank you for the invitation. Happy birthday.

Kaoru: Happy birthday. Thank you for getting along with TRIGGER, as usual.

Yuki: Congrats, Yamato-kun.

Yamato: This means a lot. Thank you.

Tsumugi: Thank you, everyone!

Riku: Yamato-san's birthday is on Valentine’s  Day!

Iori: We all know that, Nanase-san.

Gaku: We know, Nanase.

Nagi: I envy you for being born on the holiday of love, Yamato. I wish you a day as happy as sweet, melty chocolate.

Yamato: Maybe it's because Valentine's Day's coming up, but people have been buying me chocolates lately. Though they're mainly joint birthday gifts that they've gotten out of obligation.

Momo: Some of them might've come from the heart!!

Yamato: You can't just buy that kind of chocolate.

Tamaki: Yama-san, you want handmade chocolate? For your birthday?

Yamato: I don't need any from you.

Yuki: Is that what you want for your birthday?

Yamato: I don't want any from you, either...

Tamaki: I never said I'd give you some.

Yuki: I never said I'd give you some ^^

Yamato: I know that!! I was just going along with your joke!!

Ryunosuke: So you want chocolate for your birthday. I haven't made any in a while, maybe I should take this chance to try it again!

Ryunosuke: Oh, it was just a joke! Sorry!

Yamato: No, Tsunashi-san... You didn't do anything wrong...

Tenn: Ryu, make some for us.

Gaku: Exactly. The cupcakes we had last night were great.

Tenn: So, what do you actually want for your birthday, Yamato Nikaido?

Mitsuki: There's a lot of us, so we won't mind if it's something expensive we can all get for you together!

Iori: Nikaido-san is an adult, so it may be better to get him one expensive item rather than many smaller and cheaper ones.

Sogo: I see. Like a car?

Yamato: Sou, you seem like you might actually get me one, so I'm gonna stop you right there.

Yuki: Would you like an apartment?

Momo: Wanna start up a new brand and open a store?

Yamato: Shut up, you celebrities. I've got enough stuff already.

Riku: Are we getting separate presents? I already bought one!

Tamaki: Ah, what did you buy? I'll tell you mine, too.

Yamato: Riku, Tama, I'm actually looking forward to your presents so could you keep them a secret until my actual birthday?

Gaku: Maybe Nikaido would rather get little presents from each of us?

Tenn: He did keep boasting about what all his fellow members got him.

Ryunosuke: He was like a dad on Father's Day, it was really nice!

Yamato: TRIGGER, you promised not to talk about that!

Banri: I know the feeling. When IDOLiSH7 got me birthday gifts, I lined them all up on my bed and really took them in.

Tamaki: I did that, too...

Sogo: So did I...

Yamato: There's a certain kind of joy to having your room full of birthday presents.

Mitsuki: Huh. In that case, we'll get you separate presents again this year!

Nagi: OK! You may look forward to it.

Tsumugi: Congratulations, Yamato-san. Since we'll be having a celebration with IDOLiSH7 on your actual birthday... 

Choices/outcomes:

1. Is there anything you'd like to tell TRIGGER?

Yamato: I forgot to say this earlier, but I'm always open to getting sweets. Can you make some, Kujo and Yaotome?

2. Is there anything you'd like to tell Re:vale?

Yamato: I don't need an apartment, but they released a new cleaning robot with a floor wiping function, could I have one of those?

3. Is there anything you'd like to tell the managers?

Yamato: Thank you for all your work. Your drinking parties seem fun, so once our Tsumugi's of age, let's all go drinking together. 

Yamato: I know I said a lot, but thank you for gathering together for my birthday. 

Tsumugi: Now, let's move on to the question corner, as is our established tradition! 

Yamato: That's the second established tradition today, huh? 

Tsumugi: Yamato-san, do you have questions for the others? 

Yamato: Hmm. All my questions are the type that I want to ask about in length and one-on-one. 

Nagi: I know this. Yamato likes to prod. 

Mitsuki: He can be like that sometimes. But we talked about being more adventurous! Forget about the formalities and ask something you normally wouldn't! 

Yamato: Right... Fine. I'll give it a go! 

Nagi: (≧▽≦)b OK

Tsumugi: This is getting kind of exciting! Well then, Anesagi-san is up first! 

Kaoru: Fine. 

Yamato: Alright. I'm going to forget the formalities and get curious here, but let me know if I'm being too personal. 

Kaoru: What? I won't tell you my age. 

Yamato: It's not about your age (lol) Would you rather go out on a date with me or our manager? 

Kaoru: Takanashi-san. 

Kaoru: 

Gaku: Seriously!? 

Kaoru: Yamato-kun is an idol, after all. I want  to have fun with just us  girls instead of having to worry about being watched on one of my rare off days. 

Tsumugi: I'm so happy, Anesagi-san! 

Kaoru: My, aren't you cute. Let's go shopping for cosmetics again sometime. 

Yamato: I see. As you'd expect from TRIGGER's clever manager. 

Tsumugi: Now, it's time for your question to Okazaki-san! 

Yamato: Have you ever wanted to quit being Re:vale's manager? 

Rinto: Hmm, may I answer this in a private chat? 

Momo: Hey hey hey

Yuki: Hey hey hey, Okarin

Rinto: I'm kidding! Never. If anything, I'm trying to make sure they don't escape from me! 

Rinto: There have been times when they've caused such troubles that I've needed stomach medicine to get through it, and wished I had a clone who could go apologize in my stead... But it's not that I want to quit! 

Rinto: 

Tsumugi: As expected of a veteran such as yourself! Do you have a question for Banri-san? 

Yamato: It's about the thing we talked about at that drinking party

Banri: Hm? Should we talk about this in private? 

Yamato: No (lol) You always let me choose the snacks, but are you really fine with just anything? 

Banri: I am. We've got pretty matching tastes when it comes to food. You like Japanese food, don't you? 

Yamato: Ah, so that's why. So brown sugar  beans, tataki kyuri (1) with plum, and chicken skin with ponzu sauce are fine by you? 

Banri: Definitely, lol I can trust your random choices better than anything else. 

Yamato: Good to hear. That's a relief (lol)

Momo: Screenshotted ゜+。*・。゜(゜ノД`)゜。・*。+゜

Gaku: All this food talk is making me hungry

Ryunosuke: Should I make something?

Tamaki: Same here. I want ramen

Riku: Mitsuki's not at the dorm right now, so I can make some while chatting here!

Iori: Since when are you capable of that kind of dexterity?

Tsumugi: Moving on, next up is Yuki-san!

Yuki: I like bagna càuda

Yamato: I wasn't asking about your bar snacks. You used to stay over at our house and leave with my old man early in the morning, where were you going? 

Yuki: I wonder? ^^

Riku: Sea shell gathering!

Tamaki: Bamboo gathering!

Nagi: Hunting for limited edition goods.

Yuki: Close, but no cigar

Yamato: Don't try to avoid the question. The guys who came over to our place said he was spending a ton of money on you, were you involved in something shady?

Momo: Yuki??? Can  we talk about this in private????

Yuki: The real answer's golfing. He bought me a set of clubs and the clothes.  I almost fell on my ass when I heard how much  they’d cost. 

Gaku: Golf wear's expensive, isn't it. I got mad at my old man when he tried to get me into buying some. 

Yuki: I think you were the one he actually wanted to go with. You should do that at some point. 

Yamato: I'll think about it. 

Tsumugi: Many people in the entertainment business like golf! Now, it's time for  Momo-san's question!

Momo: Ask anything! (￣- +￣)

Yamato: I've asked you for advice on this before, but what do you personally do to relieve stress? 

Momo: On my off days, I exercise! Also, I eat yummy food!! Laughing and taking deep breaths before bed helps you relax naturally, so I recommend that, too!

Momo: But my number one way is seeing my partner's smile! It melts away all my fatigue! 

Yuki: ^^

Momo: And it's gone~! \(*´∀ `*)ノ.+゜

Nagi: How wonderful. I will also smile, so that  Yamato may have a similar reaction :-)

Riku: I'll do it, too! ^^

Riku: 

Yamato: And it's gone~! \(O-O--)ノ.+゜

Mitsuki: Lololololol, that emoticon's not cute at all! lol

Momo: IDOLiSH7's so cute!

Iori: Sorry to interrupt, but Nanase-san's gotten noodles all over the gas burner. May we take a short break?

Yamato: I had a feeling that'd happen.

Tsumugi: Are you alright? Is anyone hurt?

Iori: The only thing we lost was Yotsuba-san's food, so it's fine.

Tamaki:

Yamato: Since its an emergency, I guess I've got no choice but to tell you. I've stashed a cup of noodles at the back of the shelf.

Tamaki: Yama-san, I love you!!!

Tsumugi: Alright! We'll resume this talk later! I'll see you all then!

The Bears say Mitchell Trubisky is their starter. Don’t believe it yet

Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images

Trubisky is still the Bears’ top QB, but that could change if he doesn’t improve early in 2020.

INDIANAPOLIS — The Chicago Bears have committed to Mitchell Trubisky as their starting quarterback for 2020. That doesn’t mean he should get too comfortable at the top of the team’s depth chart.

Minutes after general manager Ryan Pace affirmed Trubisky’s status as the team’s top QB this season, head coach Matt Nagy announced his fourth-year passer should expect a challenge for his job.

“We love competition,” Nagy told reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine. “If you’re not creating competition around your roster, you’re not pushing your own guys.

That could spell trouble for Trubisky, who will be the focus of Nagy’s quest to find an offensive identity that gets his team back to the postseason. The third-year head coach made it clear Tuesday he’s open to change if his team gets off to a slow start in 2020. Any offensive shuffling — like a potential change at quarterback — could come early in the regular season should criticism begin to mount.

“As we go through this offseason, we need to figure out offensively what is our identity,” Nagy explained. “There’s a sense of urgency for us this year. It needs to happen sooner.”

That suggests Trubisky could have a short leash if he struggles again in 2020. The former No. 2 overall pick was a serviceable passer in 2018 as he led the Bears to the top of the NFC North and into the playoffs. That production cratered in 2019, due to both nagging injuries and poor decision-making. Trubisky’s adjusted yards per attempt dropped from 7.3 in 2018 (19th-best among qualified QBs) to a career-low 5.9 last fall (31st). Chicago fell from 12-4 to 8-8 as a result.

“I want everyone to feel that way [as if their job is on the line]. If you don’t, you feel content and you play content,” Nagy said. “There are guys, and they know who they are, who could play with more of a chip on their shoulder. That’s the part, to me, I want to see if they have that chip.”

How can Nagy put a chip on Trubisky’s shoulder? One option would be to bring in a veteran passer to push him for his job. Career backup Chase Daniel filled in for Trubisky in 2019 and outplayed his younger counterpart in stretches, but he’s a free agent. Fortunately for the Bears, this year’s free agent crop is loaded with veteran starters. That gives Chicago several shots at finding a quarterback who could slide into a starring role if necessary.

Trubisky is still the team’s preference behind center, and Nagy has already given him the homework to keep it that way through the 2020 offseason.

“The one thing [Trubisky] is able to do is get onto the film on his own and really hammer through what he’s looking at,” Nagy explained. “I think that, for him, the processing part is what has to get to the point that, you’re so obsessed that no matter what you’re doing, you’re watching film.

“We’re at a point where, in these next several months, he’s a complete expert. He needs to know [the Bears’ game tape] better than me. That’s the goal.”

The Bears will have several decisions to make this offseason after failing to defend their 2018 NFC North championship. While the team’s defense remains sturdy, an offense that ranked 25th in Football Outsiders’ DVOA efficiency ranking effectively sunk the club’s playoff hopes. With limited salary cap space and improvements needed in both the secondary and on the offensive line, the easiest way to fix that would be through a massive improvement from Trubisky.

Nagy has shown he’s willing to be flexible with his coaching philosophy. He’ll remain the team’s top playcaller this season, but he’s brought in new assistants to tweak his offense in hopes of restoring balance to the Chicago attack. He says he’ll be more proactive when it comes to making adjustments if the Bears struggle again to open the season. Though he didn’t say it outright at the combine, that means divining a viable Plan B behind Trubisky.

This could all spend doom for Chicago’s embattled young quarterback in 2020.

Ranking the NFL’s best and worst head coach openings in 2018

Which head coaching job should be the most appealing this offseason?

With the end of the NFL regular season comes the start of the coaching carousel. Right now, six head coaching jobs are open, and there could be more on the way depending on circumstances. For those teams, the main focus is on narrowing down candidates and setting up interviews.

Of course, not every job is going to get filled right away. Some of the hottest coaching candidates are coordinators for playoff teams, and they only have a limited window to interview during the week before preparing for their games. Other candidates aren’t in the postseason but will likely take time to explore their options. For the most part, teams will want a new head coach in place by the end of January before free agency and the draft-scouting process really heats up.

But first, let’s examine the head coaching jobs available and rank which ones are the most appealing. This list largely factors in current talent level, potential for growth, and how well equipped the team is to win in 2018 and beyond.

1. New York Giants

Why it’s available: Ben McAdoo didn’t even get a full season’s afterglow after leading New York to an 11-5 record and a playoff berth in 2016. Poor performances on the field and reports of instability off it left the second-year head coach twisting in the wind with a team that had no interest in playing under him. The result? The franchise’s worst record since 1974 and a midseason firing that left Steve Spagnuolo to pick up the pieces as interim head coach.

Pros to the Giants job:

Well, anyone is going to look like an upgrade over McAdoo.

Ownership is famously patient -- McAdoo notwithstanding — ensuring that the next coach will have the time he needs to change the culture.

The Giants still have theoretical upside with a defense that was one of the league’s best in 2016 and Odell Beckham Jr. coming back from injury.

New GM Dave Gettleman is a respected talent evaluator and should have little problem buying the right groceries for his coach.

Whoever takes the job will have every chance to bring the Giants back to respectability.

Cons to the Giants job:

Eli Manning is the 37-year-old elephant in the room. It’s clear that the Giants need to find their quarterback of the future, but how much longer will they stick with Eli? McAdoo sparked outrage by benching him for Geno Smith, but at some point, New York needs a serious succession plan (which probably doesn’t involve Davis Webb).

Add in a toxic locker room and the glaring fish bowl that is the New York media, and this job probably isn’t as appealing as it looks at first glance.

2. Detroit Lions

Why it’s available: Jim Caldwell wasn’t a good coach in Indianapolis, so it wasn’t entirely surprising he had little to offer a historically snake-bitten Detroit team. He carried on a rich tradition of postseason emptiness over a four-year span, making the Lions just good enough to be disappointing and ensuring Matthew Stafford wouldn’t get his proper due despite his track record of game-winning drives.

He was let go despite a respectable 36-28 record thanks in part to his inability to coax his team to big wins. Caldwell was 0-2 in the playoffs and 2-4 against Aaron Rodgers while failing to rewrite his franchise’s narrative.

Pros to the Lions job:

They have a franchise quarterback in Matthew Stafford, which is half the battle in building an NFL contender.

Stafford is complemented by a solid receiver trio in Golden Tate, Marvin Jones, and Kenny Golladay.

The defense has a little star power with Ezekiel Ansah, Darius Slay, and Glover Quin.

The franchise as a whole found a level of stability after the infamous Matt Millen years.

Cons to the Lions job:

This team has multiple holes to fill — the running game has been terrible for years, and the pass rush takes a big hit if Ansah leaves in free agency.

Stafford turns 30 in February, leaving a somewhat limited window to win in his prime.

The new coach will have to decide whether he keeps Jim Bob Cooter and Teryl Austin -- both respected coordinators — or jettisons them to bring in his own guys.

While the franchise is stable, it’s been treading water for a while, and there are real questions about upward mobility in a competitive NFC North.

The Lions’ last playoff win came in 1991.

3. Indianapolis Colts

Why it’s available: The Colts fired general manager Ryan Grigson last offseason, correctly surmising his awful personnel moves were to blame for the franchise’s struggles. This season, they moved on to Grigson’s head coach, canning Chuck Pagano after his first losing season with the club. Pagano was at the helm as the team made three straight playoff appearances and even ran all the way to the AFC Championship in 2014, but diminishing returns from an injured Andrew Luck ultimately prevented the cancer survivor from building off that momentum.

Pros to the Colts job:

Andrew Luck will be back (maybe)! If Luck is fine, maybe the Colts will be fine.

T.Y. Hilton is still good.

GM Chris Ballard did a lot right in his first year.

Cons to the Colts job:

What if Luck isn’t fine? His health can’t be taken for granted after a lost 2017.

Even if he’s back, there are holes all over this roster, and the AFC South isn’t the pushover it once was during Luck’s heyday.

The Colts ranked 30th in the league in both points and yardage allowed this fall.

It’s a potential multi-year project for any incoming coach, which might limit their options for candidates looking to win now.

Don’t forget about the notoriously mercurial owner, Jim Irsay, always lurking in the background.

4. Arizona Cardinals

Why it’s available: The league lost one of its most quoteworthy coaches when Bruce Arians announced his retirement. Injuries and a thin, aging roster ultimately doomed his playoff hopes — the Cardinals lost eight games in each of his last two seasons at the helm. Being forced to play Drew Stanton and Blaine Gabbert at quarterback will do that.

Pros to the Cardinals job:

The defense has plenty of stars still in their prime years — Patrick Peterson, Chandler Jones, and Tyrann Mathieu — along with up-and-comers like Budda Baker and Haason Reddick.

David Johnson will be back to full health after a wrist injury ended his season in Week 1.

Cons to the Cardinals job:

Just two seasons after they reached the NFC Championship, the Cardinals’ window might already be closed. Larry Fitzgerald and Adrian Peterson could follow Bruce Arians in retirement and Carson Palmer already has.

There aren’t many avenues to competing right now in an NFC West that’s suddenly become loaded from top to bottom.

The Cardinals could be looking at a full-blown rebuild, so unless the older veterans decide to come back, 2018 is already shaping up as a writeoff year.

Jobs that are filled

Oakland Raiders

Update: Jon Gruden will officially be the Raiders’ head coach again.

Why it’s available: The Raiders couldn’t follow up on Derek Carr’s breakout 2016 season, falling to a familiar 6-10 record that elicits memories of the Tom Cable era. A one-dimensional defense gave up more than 350 yards per game, wasting a 2-0 start before limping to the finish line. That led to Jack Del Rio’s ousting, just one year after ending the team’s 13-season playoff drought.

Pros to the Raiders job:

They’re only one year removed from a 12-4 season with Derek Carr putting up MVP-caliber numbers.

The nucleus of a great offense is still there between Carr, Amari Cooper, and a talented offensive line.

Marshawn Lynch still has something left in the tank if he decides to come back.

The defense boasts Khalil Mack, one of the best all-around players in the game.

If a new coach brings in fresh ideas and rejuvenates the locker room, it shouldn’t take much to get back into contention.

Cons to the Raiders job:

The job is probably already filled with Jon Gruden reportedly making a comeback after spending nine years in the ESPN booth.

Players like Carr and Cooper took huge steps back to the point where it’s fair to question their real ceiling.

Mack is basically a one-man show on defense and badly needs help around him.

The impending move to Las Vegas could create an awkward situation.

Chicago Bears

Update: The Bears hired former Chiefs OC Matt Nagy.

Why it’s available: John Fox’s magic ran out in the Midwest, as the coach behind successful — but not too successful — Panthers and Broncos teams failed to achieve a winning season out of three with the Bears. Fox went 14-34 with Chicago, finishing last in the NFC North each season while closing the door on the Jay Cutler era and welcoming in the short-lived Mike Glennon one.

Fox’s 2017 season was his weirdest. The 5-11 Bears failed to win a single game in their own division but somehow went 4-0 against AFC North competition — including a major upset over the Steelers.

Pros to the Bears job:

Mitchell Trubisky remains something of a blank slate, but he showed enough flashes in his rookie season that he could be molded into something good.

Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen have the look of a top running back duo.

The defense is feisty and kept the Bears in games they otherwise had no business winning.

Fans will be happy with any signs of progress after four straight seasons with double-digit losses.

A new extension for general manager Ryan Pace ensures continuity in the front office.

Cons to the Bears job:

If Trubisky is a dud, then the new head coach is stuck with a bad investment he didn’t make.

That’s a risk some candidates might not be willing to take, especially with a lack of weapons at receiver.

The defense will undoubtedly regress if defensive coordinator Vic Fangio leaves.
