#Fushimi mostly supports and boosts Yata's magic

[ridiasfangirlings]

AU where Fushimi is Yatas familiar spirit - maybe even the entire Yata familys familiar who has been passed down for generations?

I’m imagining Fushimi as being like this super grumpy cat spirit whogets passed down from generation after generation of red-hairedmagicians and most of them don’t see why they got stuck with thisguy, like he doesn’t help much in their magic and he’s totallyuncooperative all the time. Oh, maybe because of that one of Yata’sancestors like gives Fushimi away and Yata ends up being the one tobring him back and that’s why the two of them are at odds at firstbecause Fushimi’s decided he’s not going to trust humans ever again.Say Yata’s mom is part of this old family of like exorcists who areknown for their ability to see and purify demons. Fushimi wascaptured hundreds of years ago by the then-head of the family, whomanaged to make a contract with him in order to have him assist withthe exorcisms. Most of the time Fushimi just appears to be an oldsleepy bad-tempered cat but when he’s needed he turns into humansform and he has two tails and cat ears and likes to taunt the familya lot because they all have a temper and it’s amusing to watch. Thenone day the current head of the family is tricked by an evil sorcerernamed Niki into giving away Fushimi’s true name and Fushimi ends upbeing stolen away. This also breaks apart the family and thebloodline thins, Yata’s mom is one of the few members left who stillknows about the old ways and can do exorcisms but her power isn’tvery strong. Then she has Yata and it turns out that he has thestrongest powers that have been seen in generations.

Yata has a rough childhood growing up because he can see all thesespirits that other people can’t and the other kids start calling hima liar. It also leads to the breakup of his parents’ marriage, Yata’smom eventually remarries this guy who’s like the head priest of ashrine and can see some demons himself. Yata’s powers meanwhile startgrowing too much for him to handle, like he’s all but calling evilspirits to him and even warding charms given to him by his stepfathercan’t help him. Finally Yata’s mom decides the only thing to do isfind the family’s old familiar and bring him back so he can becomeYata’s bodyguard. Her powers aren’t quite strong enough though so sheends up using Yata’s a little, like she can’t tell him what he’slooking for or it will mess up the spell but she’s able to usescrying to power to find that there’s something very powerful at likethis pawn shop in town. She tells Yata to go into the store and findthe source of the power, Yata sneaks in and as he’s wandering aroundhe’s drawn to this small stone cat. He doesn’t know why but he feelslike he has to have it and ends up stealing it and running, as soonas he gets out of the shop the stone cracks and there’s like thissudden gust of wind and then Fushimi is standing there wondering whothe shrimp that summoned him is.

Yata’s immediately like fuck you I’m not a shrimp and Fushimi clickshis tongue and is like I don’t have time for this, I’m free so I’mgetting out of here. Yata yells at him to hold up a moment andsuddenly this golden bell appears around Fushimi’s neck, yanking himback towards Yata. Fushimi suddenly glares at Yata and mutters thatYata is one of them, isn’t he, and that Fushimi isn’t workingfor them ever again so Yata should just let him go. Yata is soconfused and states that he didn’t do anything he just wants Fushimito stop being an asshole for a moment and explain what the fuck isgoing on. That’s when Yata’s mom appears and tells Yata that Fushimiis their family’s familiar spirit who has been missing for ages,Fushimi is still contracted to work for anyone who has spiritualpowers and the blood of the person who made Fushimi’s initialcontract. Fushimi gets all pissed, because the Yata family gave himaway and now they’re dragging up old shitty contracts. Yata listensfor a while and is like okay fine, how about this then you be myfamiliar and once I’m in control of my powers I’ll void the contractand set you free.

So from there Fushimi and Yata end up as reluctant partners inexorcism as Fushimi teaches Yata all the ropes while acting like hedoesn’t care if Yata gets eaten by a demon or not. At first theirrelationship is super antagonistic, Fushimi still blames Yata’sfamily for giving him away and he doesn’t believe that Yata willreally free him while Yata thinks Fushimi’s a total asshole and can’tbelieve his ancestor actually contracted this jerk. But slowly theyget closer, like Fushimi can’t help but notice how worriedYata gets on his behalf and how Yata treats him not like a tool but afriend, always crowing about how some of Fushimi’s powers are prettycool. Yata meanwhile starts to really like having Fushimi by his sideand he’s worried that once he gets used to his powers he’ll have toset Fushimi free when really he wants Fushimi to stay with him andthe thought of Fushimi leaving makes his chest hurt.
