𝐓𝐎 𝐅𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐈𝐍 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐀 𝐆𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐓 kuchiki byakuya x reader ⟢ mini story // poem

I wrote a certain poem while ago, and I could never forget about it. it was called "𝑨 𝑺𝒐𝒖𝒍 𝑭𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒊𝒏 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒂 𝑯𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏" and it was about exactly that. This post is kinda like a continuation, maybe, of this story with Byakuya being the soul.

tw: be aware of mentions of death; maybe suicide intentions? i'm not sure why this might be a metaphor for it? so, please be aware of it if you are sensitive to those topics. In any case it is about a human and a Shinigami Byakuya falling in love and the implications of not being able to live together.

wc: 499

At first you thought it was your imagination. Maybe because of how much you missed him, maybe the need to see him again… but then, Byakuya couldn’t stay away from you…

“What are you looking at, (Name)?” one of your classmates asks, catching you squinting your eyes to see if that man of black, long hair was indeed Byakuya.

“Uh… I thought I saw someone I know… outside” you murmur, paying zero attention to your professor blabbering.

“Honey, you might need to rest… there is nobody there”

Not to you, human… “seeing ghosts” might be a quirk you are sometimes blessed with, and sometimes… well, not that much.

Soon enough as the class was over, and that Shinigami still waited outside, you picked everything up and ran downstairs.  Acting as if there were nobody there -trying to behave and not to jump into his arms- you whispered “follow me where nobody could see us”

“I came to check on your welfare” Byakuya solemnly states -gives an excuse to his need for you-

“My welfare?! Byakuya haha!” you chuckle; the orangey tints of a fall sunset kiss both of your skins.

Campus seems to be lonely; people have already run back to their rooms and houses; Friday is finally here.

Your hands slide from his broad shoulders, tangling with silky raven hair until they land right on the back of his neck.

Byakuya purrs to your touch; no matter how tough he likes to act, your graze is the captain’s kryptonite.

“I couldn’t reach out to you; nobody knows what’s been happening with communications through Dangai” he informs you.

“I thought you were busy… I am a simple human, and you are the captain of the sixth squad of the Gotei 13” you mutter, getting drunk on his perfume… what a weird thing to say, you are able to smell a ghost’s flesh.

His deep blue eyes drifted away from you; sadness imbued on his frown. The word “human” breaks his heart when it is used to describe you… what a terrible faith Byakuya holds, love is always so short and forbidden for him.

“What is it? Aren’t you happy to see me, Byakuya?” you ask, well aware of his grief but still acting silly to it.

“Just… come here”

Ah, short words. But painful lips, painful eyes, painful hearts.

His kisses feels like a balsam made of autumn berries, of pink pearls and honey and cinnamon. So soft, so sweet. “Can we spend the night together?” - “Only if you take me with you tomorrow morning” - “You know I can’t do that… I am here, now… please”

Oh, to fall in love with a ghost, to be alive, so alive… With blood running through your veins, with a heart pumping it away.

Take me with you, take me there;

A body that’s not meant to be a jail, holds the soul of a human trapped inside.

Bones, flesh and blood; In soul I am yours, in body… not at all.

Byakuya Togami with a autistic reader

Not requested!!

Notes: x reader, reader is autistic, romantic relationship, headcanon format

Important: Autism is a spectrum yes you have to meet certain criteria but everyone’s experiences with autism is different and can show in many forms. This headcanon does not apply to every autistic person!! (I am autistic and have knowledge on this topic before writing)

•Byakuya is very picky with the people he choses to be in his presence, let alone date. So most likely you two were friends before lovers due to him being the type of guy that doesn’t defrost easily. This means before you two started the relationship, although not an expert, he already was trying to be more familiar with your disability as he would study you from a distance.

•At first he found you just “quirky” and not that you had a disability, but the more he’d be around you the more it was made clear that you were autistic.

•To cut to the point he really doesn’t care. He’s not going to take time out of his day to belittle you, not because he’s an autistic advocate or saviour, he just doesn’t care about things that don’t affect him personally and that goes for a lot of things. Yes at first he thought you were weird but his opinion on a “commoner” was a mere crumb of thought in his mind, he had better things to do.

•Little things here and there would annoy him in the friendship, he thought you were just being complicated to get on his nerves. “I said I would pay why would you want to go to a greasy low life fast food chain rather than this restaurant? …Because they don’t have plain chicken strips?… oh good god.”

•It didn’t take long for him to figure you out, after he knew the truth he wasn’t as hard on you. If you didn’t want to eat what his chef had cooked, he wouldn’t force you. If you were playing with your clothes or laces, he would just mind his business. Yes because it would just be a waste of time, but he did care for you even if he wouldn’t confess that he did.

•Soon after you two started dating, he was at your every need. Even if you were born in a world where everything was on hard mode, he always tried to make it easier on you.

•He knows constancy and routine is a key part of autism and luckily for you, Byakuya is a very routinely oriented person. He’s very strict about how he lives and manages his life and change can also feel very uncomfortable to him so let’s just say you guys are two peas in a pod.

•He has physical and virtual calendars for everything. For his work, school, special events, even social gatherings with his friends. So he was more than happy to make you your own and to have access to his. He also helped you set up your phone for notifications about upcoming changes so your stress levels aren’t as high.

•He basically owns the world. The money and power this man has is unbelievable so any specialists, councillors, life coaches you name it is paid for and will be replaced quicker than the blink of an eye if you are having any problems with them. Byakuya is also hiring the best of the best across the world for you.

•Speaking of getting stuff for you obviously this mans love language is gift giving. He’d buy anything for you just point your figure at it. Although he will only but things without your input if he’s 100% certain you are comfortable with it, which is most of the time with him knowing you like the back of his hand but safe foods, textures etc can change.

•Once he bought you an expensive sweater he thought you would look stunning in, he didn’t realize the texture would send you into a meltdown. So he appreciates when you go shopping with him to make sure that every detail is safe and comfortable to you… but he also appreciates the time you two share together, even if it’s just online shopping while relaxing on the couch together.

•He hires the best chefs for the both of you but he also has a trick up his sleeve. After studying and having many conversations with you, he ordered a specialized cook book for his chefs (and you if you wanted) to cook your safe foods. Each microscopic detail in that book makes sure the food is consistent every single time, and lord knows he makes sure of it. “If you even cook with a different brand of butter you won’t be stepping foot in this kitchen or any kitchen for that matter ever again do I make myself clear?”

•Another thing you to have in common is not fitting in with other people. Yea sure for completely different reasons, but at least you two can bond over being somewhat outsiders. Besides, he really only needs you to keep him company (he’s somewhat of a secret softy)

•Byakuya knows that fancy limos will catch attention and will give you anxiety with all the staring so even if you still have the best private drivers and top model cars, from the outside he tries to make them look more discreet for you.

•The same can’t be said for when you two go out. It’s a little less difficult when the two of you are in higher class environments, but in places like a common coffee shop? That’s going to be a challenge with the paparazzi let alone the five body guards that are around him making everyone question who he and you are (although rarely people don’t know who Byakuya is 🙄)

•Although he still has his ways to make sure you two can still go shopping in person for making sure the texture, smell, sound etc of products are comfortable for you, if you get too overstimulated while shopping in person he’s definitely ok with online shopping.

•Flying is also something you never have to worry about, this man has a private jet ready to take off anywhere while having all your needs and wants in mind when designing and supplying the jet.

•If anyone tried to pick on you let’s just say they wouldn’t be showing up at school/work for a while and when they did, they would be keeping their distance from you (this man is petty and has connections) “I don’t know what your talking about. They don’t deserve to be in your graceful presence anyways my love.”

•Really Byakuya is your dream boyfriend when supplying you with your needs and accommodations, he will change the world for you instead of the world forcing you to fit into its unrealistic standards (like I said he basically owns the world)

•Any special interest you have, he’ll be getting you any merch he finds no matter what it is. He’s also good at helping you function while having special interests too. While also having phone notifications, Byakuya and his staff are always making sure your not too submerged in your special interests by reminding you to drink water, have meals/snacks, get out of the house, move your body and practice hygiene.

•He also understands your love language. That can be parallel play, info dumping, support swapping, penguin pebbling or even deep pressure. Although he’s better with some languages more than others, he’s a hard worker and I’m not just talking about his talent. He will do anything for you even if it takes him more time to get used to so don’t panic if you’re more of a physical or emotional lover.

•Definitely got you a sunflower lanyard 🌻

•Although he was cold at first (like most things) he just needed to be more exposed to you to understand you better and more softly 💚

Finished Chapter 2! SPOILERS AHEAD! I must say that this chapter oddly made me dislike Makoto a bit. I genuinely thought I'd potentially dislike Byakuya in some ways more, perhaps feel a bit more upset at him than I do. On the contrary though, Makoto sucks in some ways. Which, don't get me wrong. Makoto deserves to be a flawed individual!! Golly though. For one, he really is a normie in some ways with how little he knows. How he asks so many unneeded questions, specifically when he was being dragged around by Byakuya which I get to some extent. He was very much disoriented from the whole ordeal, struggling to figure out why Byakuya of all people was interested in him specifically in regards of sleuthing about for the investigation. At the same time though, he needs to quit it with the rhetorical reciting questions that almost parrot what the other person just said. I get it's probably a bad habit of his but he need to get a grip about it. I can only extent sympathy for so long. Being a bit intentionally dramatic here by the way, but it sometimes feels like a tension killer or that it makes Makoto look a bit too dense. Don't get me started on the whole "rope" debacle too. Like, UUUUUGH! It's so obviously the extension cord Byakuya used in the library! So very obvious! Like, Byakuya took his time to bring Makoto to the library and I get Byakuya was being stubborn and not letting Makoto look at anything other than what he wanted him to look at. But it's so OBVIOUS!!! Though, I suppose I can blame a bit of this on the game design to some extent. Certainly doesn't make Makoto look smarter by any means. Maybe it's that denial where I can see Makoto's smarts shine in the trials so I feel like I'm internally being a bit harsh on him. I've seen others call him dense after all and I DO wanna look at Makoto in a positive light. I don't wanna be hating on the little bastard after all. It does get on my nerves sometimes though. and I can't lie to myself about that. Furthermore, the fact that I had to progress the trial by Hangman's Gambit-ing a slur for schizophrenic people regarding Genocide Jack. On a meta level, I get that doing D.I.D is a bit short and the full term is probably too long to do for just the second dang trial. Definitely not an excuse to use a slur that has no means being here though. Also though, in an in-world explanation, damnit, Makoto. You sure do have some shit you gotta sort out if that's what you're internally describing Jack as who, by the way, does not have schizophrenia. D.I.D and schizophrenia are very much not the same disorder. You called D.I.D a split personality multiple times which shows you know the difference. And, I can get it to some extent that, yes. This game is from the 2000s. The 2000s was definitely a more ableist time where terminology like that was flung around like it was nothing. So, in a sense of historical accuracy, I can understand why he might have said this word. I must also mention though that this isn't the first time Makoto was unnecessarily cruel to the others internally in his head. Thus, this certainly feels a bit more like a pattern of behavior for him. This is all interesting to me though with how much I've seen this side of Makoto ignored in some ways. He's surprisingly more judgmental than I feel some give him credit for. From internally thinking Taka was annoying when he first met him to finding Hifumi weird for his interests in Hifumi's own Free-time events (which I get. Hifumi isn't exactly written in the nicest light. Don't blame him for that. I blame the dated writing). I find this aspect of Makoto so intriguing though. In a way, Byakuya, the asshole of the group who dislikes everyone and mentions multiple times how he plans on following through with a murder, is less judgmental than Makoto. He said himself not to judge others by your own standards before the murder, during the investigation, and after the trial like he was the narrator of a children's book giving the moral of the story.

Fascinating...

[suitov]

"There's... no shrine here."

"Is too! I got the guidebook from Byakuya!"

"So?"

"So he practically lives in that library. He's even got a secret room in there that we're not supposed to know about."

"And that's supposed to mean he's trustworthy?"

Makoto paused. "Well, not exactly always trustworthy, but his pranks are normally meaner than this... there'd be more people around to laugh at us."

"Haah? Are you trying to make me feel better?"

"I'm sure if we keep looking we'll find some sign of the shrine. It's supposed to have these big porcelain lion dogs at the gate."

"Yeah, this place," Hajime, arms outstretched, span in a circle, "just full of lion dogs." The hillside was not actually full of lion dogs. It was doing all right for grass, had made the effort so far as wildflowers went, and had stretched itself to a few shrubs. Distinct lack of statuary, though.

It was Makoto who, while they bickered, first stepped through. Hajime was close behind, loudly lifting up stones and calling "here, lion dog, here, boy".

"Uh..." Makoto rubbed the back of his hand across his eyes. "Does the sunlight look, like, wrong to you?"

"Would look a lot nicer from a café table in..." Hajime blinked and dropped the latest rock on his shoe. "Uh... it does look kinda... weird, all of a sudden."

"Well! I could say the same to you!" scoffed someone he couldn't see.

Hajime yelped and cast around for the speaker, but Makoto had been right: his vision didn't quite seem to be working. Colours were too bright. There was a haze in his periphery. He had an unsettling feeling that things around him were changing size as soon as he looked away from them.

And there was a weird red thing hanging in the air. It was like a... snake, or a string, or a ribbon - or maybe a talisman? - just... hanging in midair, gently twisting.

Until it spoke, sending waves of motion up and down itself. "Hey. Can you hear me?"

"I can! I can! Um..." Makoto was waving at it like a dummy. "Who... are you?"

Or what, Hajime thought.

"Well, obviously, I'm the spirit of this place," said the twisting slice of red. "It's been a long time. Not many humans have come here since my gate fell apart."

"Your gate?" Hajime repeated.

"My archway, yes. I'm afraid my shrine isn't what it used to be." It sounded like a sigh, if weird red spirit ribbons even had lungs. "It was always suffering one mishap or another until the locals gave up making repairs. Simply terrible luck."

Makoto had walked a full circle around the squiggly line by now. He stopped. "Poor spirit..." he said. Hajime groaned internally. This had better not turn into a repeat of the apologising-to-the-bench incident.

"Well!" said the squiggle. "You're here now! And I'm simply delighted to be the one to tell you. You two are highly honoured. You've got a special destiny!"

"A..." Hajime found his arms had crossed over his chest without conscious intent. "Special destiny?"

"Why yes! Special indeed. Bright shining lights you two will be in the world, very soon!"

"Wow! Really?" gasped Makoto, almost pathetically eager to believe this pronouncement.

"Us. Special destiny," he repeated. "I'm sorry, but can you be more specific?"

"Ah, well..." The spirit string wafted embarrassedly. "These things don't really... work in specifics. But you definitely are beacons of light! I wouldn't be so interested in you if you weren't. I wouldn't find you so... well, yes! And you do both have super-duper protagonist hair, after all, so that practically confirms it."

Hajime leaned down to Makoto. "I think this spirit's gone weird from being alone too long," he whispered.

The spirit ribbon curled up and span in a spiral. "Shall I give you the destined hero pep talk now?" it asked excitedly.

[bleachbleachbleach]

In addition to zanpakutou are cool, I will also add that Ichimaru, individually, is also very cool. He just like, saunters his way into the story, speaking Kansai, dismembering people, and demonstrating very specific knowledge of Ichigo's hair color:

I think this sounds less bananas in Japanese than it does in English, because that's just what that color is called in Japanese, but the phrase has roots in Genji and to me it still feels like the equivalent of someone using Crayola colors to reference things ("burnt umber" instead of "reddish brown"). Amazing, for multiple reasons: That Ichimaru would describe Ichigo thusly, in this moment; that he's referencing official Gotei intel that likely also called Ichigo daylily-colored.

I say official Gotei intel and not just secret Aizen intel, because I think Ichimaru might be referencing the same Onmitsukidou report that Byakuya talks about in Chapter 54:

[Bleach 054]

(Did Byakuya need to be that specific about this information? Did he need to bring it up at all? No he did not, but Byakuya be Byakuya-ing. Anyway--)

After Byakuya and Renji's encounter with Ichigo, the Gotei is able to put a name to a face, and maybe even gain additional insight into the nature of Rukia's crimes. I'd never really thought about it before, but if Rukia's High Crimes (overstaying her welcome in gigai/in the Living World and sharing her powers with a human) have the real, tangible impact of some weird daylily-colored guy showing up to invade the Seireitei, I could see an argument being made for her execution/her accelerated execution. I don't think most of the people who go off to meet the Ryoka Invasion have put all of these things together or really care to (but maybe I'll be proven wrong on re-read; guess I'll sit tight until Chapter 81 to see what our very first CAPTAINS' MEETING, MY BELOVED has to say), but that actually does make some sense to me. I'm not saying I agree with the justification for Rukia's execution, lol, but like, yeah, that could track?? I see it??

It also makes me think about why Ichimaru shows up in Chapter 65 to poke Byakuya. I've always figured it was just to poke him, because "I just wanted to poke Byakuya" is very relatable and convincing in itself. But in addition to the whole Rukia Thing, and Aizen et al being involved in the Rukia Thing, Ichimaru's comments make me also feel like he was looking for more information about Ichigo, specifically, seeing as Byakuya recently experienced him first-hand. Presumably, Byakuya just finished writing his report. Did Ichimaru want that info before it even went to press, fresh from the horse's mouth? Or maybe he wanted to intercept the mail so he could be the first to read it.

Part 2 of my DCST Time Travel Snippets

"Lemme get this straight. To stop this impending doom, you want us to build a spaceship that will take a small crew just past the Moon. Where they will then negotiate with parasitic alien robots and convince them that humanity is stupid and not worth being frozen into stone." Markus, one of the oldest scientists at NASA, surmised. He sounded incredibly tired.

Everything the people from the future told them was tiring.

"Pretty much." Dr Xeno from the future said, "It's a big ask, I realize. And a lot of lives depend on it."

"Who would we trust with such a mission, though?" Another NASA scientist asked, "There's a lot of factors to take into account. Personality, and training, and there's not enough time to conduct proper astronaut qualification exams for the wider public."

"Good point." Dr Xeno allowed.

"Ah, how about you get your version of the Five Wise Generals to go?" Brody, the future's top mechanic laughed, "They'll all be little babies now, so we'll knock off a couple hundred kilograms from the weight limit."

"I don't think we can have infants piloting a rocket and saving humanity." One of their current day scientists sighed. It was weird to think that a group of people called the Five Wise Generals were currently babies.

"No, no, you misunderstand. They should be fifteen at the youngest. Twenty four at the oldest." Xeno clarified, "And one of them won't exist until thirty seven hundred years, so right now, it's more like the Four Wise Generals. But I agree with Dr. Brody, except for my Stan, there's no one I'd recommend more. Byakuya Ishigami's an option, but I also don't trust him enough to not launch into a passionate speech about all the good humanity has done."

Byakuya Ishigami. He was a newbie astronaut, just inducted into the program. Normally, such love for humankind was admirable but...

"Brief us on these Generals." He decided. Just to have that option.

----

First was Senku Ishigami, the man who had made the first phonecall to the past. The son of Byakuya Ishigami. So far, they had avoided looking up the kid in the modern world.

Currently, he was fifteen years old, and a high school student. With a criminal record of setting off bombs in public parks.

"Oh, yeah. He likes making rockets." Xeno from current day confirmed blandly, "I had no idea he was setting them off in parks."

He was definitely lying.

"But you'll let me go to space without me having to build my own rocket, right?" A high-pitched voice asked. A boy with the wildest hair was suddenly standing in the control room.

"How'd you get in here?!"

"Xeno and my dad kept me updated on the situation here." He picked at his ear, "I couldn't care a millimeter less about the situation here now that we've figured out the secret behind the stone swallows. I just want to go to space. As soon as possible."

He vibrated slightly as he spoke, clearly excited, but hiding it well.

---

Second on the list, Asagiri Gen.

Nineteen years old, and a... moderately famous stage magician.

"Doesn't look like he has the muscle for a space trip."

"What good's a mentalist? We can drill anyone into saying things."

And so, Asagiri Gen was overlooked.

Somewhere in the world, a magician with two-toned hair was very offended.

---

Next was Ryusui Nanami, one of the Nanami Conglomerate's CEO's brood. A bit of a disgraced one, because of a dramatic love affair, but given the same allowance that any of the others got.

At 20 years of age, he had the biggest and most diverse collection of sailboats in the world. The kid was a dedicated adventurer, with all the health that came from it.

They could use that.

"Ryusui Nanami." An escort of suited officials approached him on a beach.

He looked up over the frame of his sunglasses, taking them in. He grinned, "Aw, man, they're really going to assassinate me this time, huh?"

"No, we're from NASA. How would you like to visit the final frontier?"

He snapped his fingers, laughing, "Name your price!"

-----

And lastly...

"Saionji Ukyo, you've been transferred last minute."

"Eh???" He looked at his CO in confusion.

"It's a matter of international security."

Did they think he'd overheard something? Oh God, he'd known his crazy hearing would get him killed one day.

"You'll be working with an American strike team. Full debriefing back at the base. For now, prepare yourself to meet Commander Stanley Snyder."

What was going on???

[put together an avengers intiative recruitment scene lol. i love gen i swear, they just dont understand him yettt TTATT]

Sick Danganronpa Boys Being Taken Care of by a Kindhearted Reader ☆

category: short read, friends to lovers, lighthearted, fluff, genderneutral reader, pre-relationship a/n: yall ATE UP the last hc post I did so take another one :D characters: Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu, Byakuya Togami, Gonta Gokuhara, Kiyotaka Ishimaru

Fuyohiko really didn't want to admit that he was sick---he hated being sick, in general. His already rosy-cheeked face was even redder, and his sneeze...he sneezes like a baby panda.

He stayed home, and asked you to come over---when you arrived, his family and bodyguards were just a bit overwhelming. Apparently, they've dealt with multiple assassination attempts on Fuyohiko, so they're very, very, very apprehensive with you.

Fuyohiko, surprisingly, was very willing to accept your help. His guards watched you like a hawk, while you made him some Chicken Noodle soup. They very directly told you they expected you to poison it.

He was surprised when you gave him the soup---he didn't expect you to be a good cook. You stayed with him for a few hours, and his family was weary of you the entire time. But, at least you and Fuyohiko got a little bit closer.

Byakuya stayed home, and refused any help at first. You convinced the guards at his mansion to let you in (by lying, of course), and broke into his room. You layed him down, despite his protests. He physically couldn't stop you from helping, so he begrudgingly accepted.

You tried to cook for him, but his chefs refused to allow you into the kitchen. They were working on a full three-course meal for him. When you looked at the food they were preparing, you realized Byakuya would probably hate all the food they were making. So, instead, you snuck him a cup of his favorite drink, Kopi Luak Coffee. It actually helped him with his headache.

After a while of you staying over, Byakuya subtly asked you to stay for dinner. You were beyond excited to receive an invite from Byakuya, but he swore up and down that he was simply requesting your services, nothing more. We all know it was something more.

Gonta got stung by a poisonous bug, and was a bit ashamed to tell you. He loved bugs so much, he didn't want you to blame them for him being sick. But, the toxins really messed him up.

You asked if you could go over to his house to take care of him, but when you got there, it turns out he really wasn't lying about living in the woods.

You tried cooking him food, but it proved fairly difficult to cook on a campfire. You ended up ordering food, and met the delivery guy at the edge of the woods. He looked terrified, but at least you got Gonta some food!

At the end of the night, you and Gonta snuggled and gazed at the stars. There were bugs all over you guys, but for Gonta's sake, you powered through it. You guys got a lot closer, after that night.

Taka hated missing days for school---he had never missed a day. But, when his fever basically disabled him, he had to stay home. You took this as an opportunity to help him out.

Taka's house was a lot smaller than you expected. His grandfather was once the Prime Minister of Japan, so you just expected him to be rich. But, it wasn't an issue to you.

You made him some food, and while you were, you met his father, Takaaki Ishimaru. He was a bit on the colder side, but you realized he was just shy. He was very sweet, though, even offering to help you cook.

Taka refused to allow you to stay over, as it would be "problematic." He did allow you to give him a hug (shockingly) before you left. You thanked him and his father for allowing you to stay so long, and left. The next day, Taka left a copy of his favorite movie 'Adorable Reactions Collection' on your desk, and a lengthy thank you note. It's a very weird and kinda boring movie, but you're just happy to see him opening up more.

RING around the Roses

That should be the last of 'em.

Good work. I suppose that'll be all today.

*Leon dumps a small pile of documents on Byakuya's desk. He immediately moves towards them to check through them.

You know, it's kinda weird. You're not my boss anymore, but...I can't really shake the feeling of doing what you tell me to.

It sucks.

Feh...Well, I'm grateful for your contributions. And I'm sure Shuichi is as well.

Yeah, I guess...By the way, there's something I wanted to ask.

What?

I had a quick look through those files to make sure they were the right one's, but I gotta ask...The name of that person in them...feels familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

...

*Byakuya lifts the file, and examines it's contents.

Are you referring to Ella Tsuiseki?

Yeah, that's the one. It's on the tip of my tongue, but I dunno...

Ella Tsuiseki is a former member of Hope's Peak's "Reject Class." She attended the academy as the Ultimate Ghost Hunter. And was a classmate of Uchui Kamukura and Kuripa Kurafto.

From what I understand, she also had an...intimate...relationship with Uchui.

Oh, so she's his girlfriend!?

Ex-girlfriend. Uchui ended their relationship after the death of his uncle. That was the point where he made it his mission to destroy what was left of his family, and didn't want to drag her into it.

He cut all ties with her, since he didn't want her to feel the pain of losing him. But, apparently, Matta Gyalusetsu tracked her down and threatened her safety even then.

So the Future Foundation has called her in to make sure she is in a stable, and safe condition. She was supposed to be here today, but...I reckon she forgot the date.

That's a shame...I hope she's alright, and that Zetsubou didn't get to her.

Zetsubou became too crippled after the factory, and Gyalusetsu was killed. I think she's fine, but...We're just making sure.

Alright...Well, I'm gonna head out. You?

I'll stay here for a bit. I still have things I need to look over...

Suit yourself. Gd'night Byakuya.

Night.

*Leon leaves.

...

*Byakuya looks down at the folders of Ella Tsuiseki's name.

Hm...It's strange...I remember being there back when Kuripa and Uchui were causing a fuss in Hope's Peak, but...I don't for the life of me remember what this girl looks like...

Apparently she was very close to them as well, and with how much trouble they caused me, I should be remembering, but...

...Oh well, I suppose I'll find out soon...

*He starts to organize the documents.

Tch..."Ultimate Ghost Hunter..." Give me a break...There's no such thing as-

*fzzztsshh!*

...enough?

*Byakuya becomes distracted for a brief moment, as the light above his desk flickers for a moment.

Byakuya Kuchiki (Bleach) - Noble Series 1: Our Love - Chapter 1

“Otou-san, I want to be a soul reaper!” 

There was nothing but excitement on the child’s face, but as the older male looked down, there was no warmth in his eyes. 

“Know your place, child. You are nothing more than a tool to advance our bloodline. Never forget that.” 

A somber realization indeed. 

~300 Years Later~

“(L/N)-san.” 

“Hai taicho!” 

You dashed forward and Byakuya just lifted his head. 

“Please meet Kurosaki Ichigo at the gate. Renji is away on a mission, so you are responsible for ensuring that he arrives here without any interruptions. “ 

You scratched your head bashfully recalling the last encounter. Avoiding Kenpachi was easy enough given his poor sense of direction, but the fact that Ichigo knew almost everyone here made it difficult because all it took was an acknowledgement from one person and Kenpachi would appear like a mosquito searching for blood. Even if he was currently away on a mission, it paid to be careful.

“I’ll do my best Taicho.” 

You bowed, and Byakuya said nothing as you turned and walked away. It wasn’t a long trip to the gate. In a weird way you appreciated the task, it was a good distraction. Lately you seemed to be having those dreams again. It had been so long since you even thought about your past, your home. 

Maybe it was the recent recovery of Ichigo powers and his return to the soul society that had just brought up those old memories. 

Three hundred years was a long time to hold onto something. You truly thought that you’d gotten past it, at least to an extent. Some wounds just took longer to heal. Shaking your head, you place your focus forward. A few more calculated jumps and your feet land right at the entrance. Just in time it seems. Straightening, your eyes caught the light ahead. When the figure stepped through, a smile planted itself on your face. When the doors closed, he looked a bit relieved to see you. You giggled when you realized why. 

“Welcome back Kurosaki-san. Kuchiki-taicho has asked that I escort you.” 

He nods, scratching his neck. 

“Anyone is better than Kenpachi.” 

You smile, nudging your head and he follows. 

It’s crazy how much has changed since the first moment he showed up. So much has happened that it feels a bit unreal. With each flash step, your mind seems to grab onto a memory. 

“Please reconsider (L/N)-sama, you cannot survive out there!! There are so many threats. You’ll die!!”

You grimace at those words. You hate that these feelings seem to have sprouted out of nowhere. It’s painful. You wish there was a way to just banish it all. 

“Kurosaki-san, can I ask you a question?” 

His eyes shifted in your direction and he paused, landing on a building. You followed suit, and he looked completely ready to hear any question. You felt so sure about what you intended to ask, but the second his focus landed in your direction, that uncomfortable pit formed and you couldn’t get the words out. 

It was just hard. How do you sum up all your doubts, worries into one single question? Your eyes shook as you looked at your feet.

“Have you ever been..afraid..” 

It feels like a foolish question to ask. Ichigo is the most fearless person you know. Time and time again he’s faced the most dangerous adversaries. It’s clear that he fears absolutely nothing. You shake your head, working up a smile. 

“Gomen, forget I asked. It was a stupid question.” 

You intended to laugh it off. 

“It’s not stupid.” 

Looking up, strangely enough you can see understanding in his eyes. 

“Every battle that I’ve ever fought, I was scared.” 

His words shock you. For a moment you think it’s a bluff, but he looks earnest. 

“It’s unrealistic to face something that terrifies you and say that you aren’t scared. But just because you're scared, it doesn’t make you weak. If you’re here, if you’re still breathing, then you can face it.”

You’re not sure what to say. The small speech seems to have given you just a bit of solace. You nod, despite your inner turmoil, you feel just a bit of relief. A smile works its way on your face. 

“Arigatou Kurosaki-san.” 

He seems satisfied, and you nod at him as you both begin to head on your way. 

This might not be as impossible as you thought.

[sprinklenoodles]

Alrighty! So, uh, the one and only Aoi dude just send me an ansolutely lovely post as I'm sure you can all imagine! So, that means it's time for some cute Sakuraoi headcanons- both from more 'canon' and fics... Might even from fics that aren't mine!

So, the more canon stuff:

Before everything went down, the two of them would have weekly dates. These could be to a nice sandwitch shop or a very fancy restaurant. The latter would only happen after getting Byakuya to pull some strings- something that wasn't too hard to do since he could easily be swayed with a promise of them distracting Toko for a bit.

Sometimes they would also go on double dates with some of the others of their class, or sometimes even triple dates.

It wasn't a surprise that the two of them got together- almost everybody had already... registered them as a couple, so when they made the announcement that they were really together, the only shock they got was due to the fact they they weren't together before.

Sakura always goes to Hina's swimming competions, cheering her onn and kissing her when she wins. Hina does she same for Sakura, though she is much more vocal in her cheering.

When they had to stay in HP, the two of them were always together. Hina was quite scared and worried about her family- namely her little brother- and Sakura would try her best to reassure her that everything would be fine.

Now, onto the fics! This will contain spoilers for all of my fics and also from the Ultimate Heroes series from @seashellcosmos because I am incapable of not talking about that AU. And I suppose that the headcanons for my fics aren't headcanons, but just... canon until I maybe contradict them

First up I want to talk about post That Really Wasn't Supposed To Happen (post What Things Are Supposed To Happen To? technically, but that one is still ongoing). After everything settled down, the two of them would keep helping rebuild the world. I don't think they would do that with the FF, but more on their own, with the help of their classmates.

And once they've done that, they would begin a little café, one just like the ones they went on during their dates before everything. Just a cute and small place which most frequent visitor is the CEO of the Togami Corporation- totally normal.

In the pokemon AU- A Heir's Journey, the two of them are gym leaders and very much rivals. Well, friendly rivals. They love nothing more than battling each other- other than kissing maybe- and it's very much how they show their love to each other. Their pokemon also get along great... for the most part.

In the fantasy AU- The Lies Hidden Beneath The Sand- the two of them are also together! Yay! When she's stressed, which unfortunately happens quite a lot, Hina always goes to Sakura and asks her to cuddle. Sakura is very strong and that gives Hina some nice comfort she needs.

Sakura also tries to help Hina with her self-doubt- she doesn't need to be a good fighter to be useful, she is already good at other things.

Then in The Ultimate Mystery Incorporated the two are just also a happy couple. They're not really different from 'canon' Hina and Sakura, it's mostly the people who they hang around with. They're just a cute wlw couple in their small but weird town. All things considered though, they're probably the best couple.

There's one more fic of mine where they are very much together, though it's very much one that isn't released yet. It's a sort of magical girl/ superpower AU- that's all you need to know for now, but feel free to send me some asks about it!

There, Hina is a very powerful water magic user and Sakura absolutely adores her... yet always gets anxious when Hina has to fight. The moment Hina returns, she takes her in her arms and looks her over for injuries.

Sakura herself doesn't go on fights too much since her powers can be quite... destructive, something which scares the other students away quite a bit. Though, Hina doesn't care. She knows that Sakura is just a big sweetheart and tries her best to show that to the others.

Now for the last set of headcanons- for the Ultimate Heroes AU. It does feel slightly weird to make headcanons about a fanfic, but hey, we love weird around here!

Hina most defintely will just lay on Sakura and just... fall asleep with her face right on her chest. This would worry Sakura for a moment before she remembers that it's fine and Hina... doesn't need to breathe as much as a regural person.

Sakura will sometimes also just pick Hina up. Most of the time this is after a fight because Hina has a little habit of doing too much and will just practically fall apart the moment they're back home. It's up to Sakura to take care of her then.

Going on dates is a bit... harder here, but they always try to do something at least once a week. Most of the time it's just in the beach house, but other times they can go to a restaurant, though they do have to be very careful. Especially since Sakura looks like... well, Sakura.

That's all I could think of! Quite a bit, but it's the least these two deserve! I also just have a lot of thoughts my fics- can ramble on about them for forever, so that also helped quite a bit. Plus, I was fuelled with a need to write this cuz of the Aoi guy. It’s our job to annoy that guy as much as possible with Sakuraoi things! So, like rambles, fanart, anything.

The more the better! Oh, and if you maybe want to know more about them in a specific AU of mine or just want to know more about it, just send me an ask! Or read the fic! Or do both! Love answering asks, so will probably answer it quite quickly… hopefully lol. But that’s it!

⭒ pairing: kuchiki byakuya x f! reader. R 18+ ⭒ requested by Anonymous [Bya-kun Anon 🌸] 💖 ⭒ inspired on the song: 𝄞 I Wanna Be Yours by Artic Monkeys 𝄞 ⭒ tw: MDNI. Byakun is finally out of the pond, awake and needy than ever. passionate, love making. love love love. not that lustful. ⭒ masterlist a song + a character event

“He is awake, (Name)!” Rukia chimed, desperately and abruptly breaking the state of full concentration you were in.

You open your eyes, looking at her with a shine you were lacking since that day… the day you almost lost him.

“BYAKUYA-SAMA? HE IS UP?” you ask, jolting from the cold tatami and running outside. You usually adore to spend time with Rukia, but you couldn’t think of anything else but to hug him so tightly.

As you run through the corridors of squad 0, you pass right through the door of where he is.

“(Name)…” he utters, peaking outside the room.

Your feet carve marks into the ground to stop and turn around. His hair, still wet. Just the white kimono covering a healthy body. And his severe, yet so kind eyes looking at you, waiting for your brain to process that’s really him.

Your lips separate as your jaw relaxes. Your eyes soften. The man you spend looking at while floating on what it looked like an eternal bath, is finally standing on both feet in front of you.

“How many times I have to tell you, you shouldn’t run through the halls?” he scolds you, because that’s his love language.

“Byakuya-sama!!!!” you run to him, feeling the strength of his reiatsu. Stronger than you ever felt, as if it was new… his soul felt like a new one, though, that what made him unique still lingered in your heart.

He receives you in his arms, as you pounce into him. Your legs surround his waist, your arms his neck. He presses you against his body hard enough to break your bones.

You cough a little. How comes he is that strong? He isn’t used to his new him?

“Sorry, I feel… uh… weird. My arms, they feel strong- I haven’t yet-“ he tries to excuse himself, ripping a gasp from your throat; Byakuya never apologizes, not to you, nor anyone else under him.

“No… crush my bones if you must, Kuchiki Taicho. I don’t care… you… you are alright…” you whisper, grabbing his face in between your hands with utmost care.

Your nose touches his, as he walks back inside that room. Your lips beg to join the other. Your souls, pleading to bond once more.

“I won’t crush your bones, don’t be silly. And don’t be so loud, ok? I am ok, how are you?” he asks, resting his forehead on yours, so assure you are absolutely healthy.

You nod, acknowledging that, even if your relationship wasn’t a secret… there were still some things the rest didn’t know. After all, both were just starting to love each other when the Quincy attacked.

“I’m so happy you are alive, Taicho” you whisper, with tears coming to your eyes. You saw him die, so his arms around your body still feel unreal.

Your fingertips move his wet hair off his face. You might be the only person allowed to do so. “Look at you, so beautiful as ever…” you purr.

Byakuya’s expression also softens, looking at you with eyes of profound love and also a lot of regrets.

“I am sorry, love. I swear I won’t ever again fail you, nor Rukia, nor Renji, nor the Sei-“ he tries to excuse for putting his life in danger to protect you all. But you won’t let him say such nonsense. Byakuya shouldn’t feel guilty, Byakuya should feel proud.

“Byakuya…” you let yourself call him by his first name with no honorifics this time. “You made us all the proudest we could ever be. Thank you for protecting us all, thank you for putting yourself there to fight them… you, Byakuya, you are the definition of a true soldier. I know you for the very first time asked for help, and you have no idea how proud I am of you…”

He looks at you, with the rain in his eyes and a storm inside his core. “You…” he barely murmurs before crashing his lips against yours with the force of a thousand souls in one.

Byakuya’s lips feel so soft as always. His arms feel as warm as always. But his soul, feels bigger than ever.

And so many kisses both share, that you wish you could tell him how his you wanna be. How much you love him, even if he probably already knows… However, the one who you thought would never be yours, this time is the one asking you for it the most…

As you two slide down, him falling on his knees with you straddling your hips on his lap, the kisses never stop and his tears neither they do.

Byakuya lifts you a little bit up just to make you comfortable over him, and for some minutes he forgot his own surname. He wasn’t Kuchiki Byakuya, the head of the Kuchiki clan. He wasn’t the captain of the sixth squad of the Gotei 13… he was, simply, a lover whose feelings needed to be shared.

“I wanna be yours…” he whines, with lips grazing yours and a painful pleading stare. “Yes, Byakuya. And I will never let you go, my love…” you murmur, kissing him back with so much love you even feel like it wasn’t possible to feel for a person.

His hand slides your kimono up, finding your core, so unaware of how wet you are. Desperately, he searches for concealing any little gap in between your bodies. Is not physical desire what moves him now, it is just and purely the lust of his heart for yours.

You let his white kimono slide through his shoulders, exposing his chest and back. Hands that can’t stop feeling every little indentation of such sacred flesh.

A dichotomy in between the delicacy and the dominancy of his sex, searching to bury into you, to feel ablaze by the walls of your femininity. The slender, soft fingers of his, traveling up and down the small of your back. The scent of his flesh, of clean flowery perfume, of musk masculine perfection.

“I wanna… no, I need to make love to you” he grunts, asking for the final permission to slide himself deep in.

“Please, I wanna be yours, make me yours. Make love to me…” you whine, moving so that he is able to finally penetrate you.

You throw your head back whenever feeling the tip stretching your entrance, and even if so many times your bodies have shared the heat of passion… today, things feel different. Like a reborn star, stronger, harder. No more sex, this time making love.

You bounce on him, both moaning into each other’s mouths. Your hands playing with his wet tufts of hair over his back, his pressing you harder against himself by your waist. How deep he wanna go? as deep as the love he has for you.

“I will forever protect… ngh… you. I’m yours. I’m so yours. I am all of the things that are yours, I am yours” he repeats, panting, as you can sense his shaft twitching inside you.

“Then, that means the whole world is mine… my love” you whisper, kissing the tears on his cheeks… because he is to you, exactly that… your whole world.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ...

“Kuchiki Byakuya, your food is ready! I baked them all with my spi…ri…tual… Well, the pond seemed to be enough apparently! However, please eat once you two are finished!”

endless epiphanies ch.2

nagito k. x reader ( in which you find yourself isekai’d into sdr2. )

“You guys are the least to arrive. What are you dilly-dallying for?”

It hadn’t taken too long to walk to the beach. By now though, with all the working the day had put you through your legs were already starting to slightly ache. You stared around at a few of the other students but you couldn’t see any complaints being made. Ah it was going to be an eventful day. You just hoped the cottages lived up to how they seemed in the game.

Amidst your thoughts you had missed a small chunk of conversation. Coming back to attention you could make out the other students beginning to discuss their observations, zooming in as Pekoyama discussed the blocked bridges.

“So we don’t get lost..? Is this island really so big?”

You wondered the same. You were still unsure as to how you were here, so the need to reconsider your ideals of reality was beginning to catch up to you. Just where were you? But you snapped yourself out of the unwanted thoughts, tuning back in to the conversation at hand as it began to steer to a more relevant path.

“All of you are fools... I can’t believe nobody has mentioned the most serious truth.” Byakuya said. He met everyone’s eyes with a level look, before focusing his attention onto Chiaki for a moment – who had started to speak.

“...The most serious truth?” She asked, and he let out a small sound of disapproval as he began to speak again.

“If no one here has realized it, you’re all bigger fools than I thought.”

“What did you say, you fat bastard? Don’t be talkin’ all big and shit!” Fuyuhiko interrupted. You cringed the irritation in his voice, which was shrill and loud as he faced Byakuya with a heated glare. Had he been this angry in the game too? You supposed experiencing it in reality really must have enhanced things such as this.

“Small dogs shouldn’t bark so loud.” Byakuya retorted coolly. You supposed you agreed, but you couldn’t hold back your desire to spot beating around the bush. You stared at Hajime who seemed slightly lost in thought, and at the other students who were watching the argument. You resisted the urge to roll your eyes.

“Uhm? Would you mind going back on route to what you were saying about ‘the most serious truth’? Have you discovered something significant about the island?” You urged him. You almost slipped you thought, having had to stop yourself from saying his name before you had even been told it.

“...” He stared at you for a moment, before offering you a respectful nod and turning to face the rest of the class.

“Have you all gone to the park that’s across the bridge?” He asked.

“The park with that weird bronze statue and all of those creepy animals, right?” Hajime responded, and you were only happen that you had managed to steer the conversation back onto track.

“When I saw it, I remembered a story I’d heard before. There’s an island in the Pacific Ocean, a beautiful island paradise where summer never ends... it consists of a central island surrounded by five different islands...it’s also said that five holy animals symbolize each of those surrounding islands.”

“Eh..?” Hajime mutters, and eyeing him you can see the gears begin to start to form.

“That island’s name is... Jabberwock island.” Byakuya finally completes.

“Could this island be...?” Nagito trails off, slightly lost in thought as his eyebrows begin to furrow.

“Jabberwock island? Is that... the name of this island?” Hajime finishes, and if the moment hadn’t been so oddly tense you perhaps you would have laughed at how alike to siblings they seemed.

“Still there is something on my mind. In fact, according to what I’ve heard, Jabberwock island is already...” for a moment he didn’t complete his sentence. There was a quiet moment as he debated sharing his train of thought, before immediately deeming it as useless and shaking his head to himself. “...Never mind.”

Nekomaru was the next one to speak.

“Hold it right there! That’s a rather incomplete story you’ve told us.”

“No need to shout. I’ll let you know once I obtain more information.” Byakuya was calm, and he didn’t let any underlying feelings show. You had to respect that.

“Meh, I don’t care what this island’s called Nikoniko island or Papua island or whatever... doesn’t change the fact that we all gotta live here, right?” Akane added, to which Ibuki made herself the next one to share her thoughts.

“Living together on this tropical island sure is exciiiiting! I’m super looking forward to it!”

You couldn’t help but notice the conversation was starting to turn sideways. You couldn’t make out how talk of this was relevant, but Nagito seemed to think the same thing as he spoke up.

“There still is one question I think we have unanswered. Would you like to try solving it [Name]?” He asked, turning towards you.

Oh god. You were being directly addressed now. You picked your nail with your fingers, staring back at him, though Hajime was quick to add onto his words.

“You’re talking about how she isn’t in the handbook right? I did find that weird.”

Nobody asked! From the corner of your eyes you can make out Chiaki eyeing you with an intense gaze and the pressure of the situation is starting to get to you. You open your mouth. You close it again. You-

“That would be my fault! Between preparing the island and getting everything ready I unfortunately forgot to provide [Name] here with a handbook and log her onto the system. Here you are, I’m terribly sorry that it’s late! Aaah my first day as your teacher and I’ve already messed this up!”

Usami. She stared at you with a stitched smile and you leaned down to take the handbook from her soft paw. You held onto it for a moment, which she didn’t seem to mind, sinking you nails into the soft cotton of her that held the handbook, before pulling away with a grateful smile on your face.

“Thank you Miss Usami. I really appreciate it.”

She gave you a small bop of her head, and Byakuya seemed to be irked by the interaction as he started to speak again.

“Forgetting to provide a student’s information and monitor things correctly. What if your actions place everyone here in danger?” He asked her.

“Th-The word ‘danger’ is a bit much! I wouldn’t do something like that! Uhm... the number one rule of friendship! Mistakes are caused sometimes, but it’s about learning to move past them!”

She was cute. You imagined sparkles glowing around her as she spoke.

“Usami is right. I understand how we all feel but I think we should all calm down a little.” Nagito said, though his words seemed to be more centered towards Byakuya, who only offered him a small ‘Tsk’ in response.

“F-for now... as long as we don’t do anything weird, it seems there is no danger. There are a list o-of rules in the handbook.” Mikan said, and you were glad she was growing more confident at least.

“And as long as we gather the hope fragments, we’ll be able to get off this island soon.” Chiaki helpfully added. You were glad to see the conversation start to take a lighter turn at least.

Byakuya finally seemed to understand the reasoning though, making sure to present himself as the bringer of the conclusion. “There’s no other choice but to believe... for now that is..” Ah. Of course he wasn’t sold yet. In your opinion Byakuya was the character who was the least stupid.

“Anyway, Usami! What’s this present you mentioned in your announcement earlier?” Ibuki asked.

“Ah, that’s right! Well, of course I didn’t forget...” She did, but you let her continue anyways. “Love! Love! This is it! Don’t be upset! I’ve prepared one for you all, so don’t worry!”

You couldn’t help the small laugh that escaped as small straps started to be handed out.

“... What is this...?” Nagito deadpanned and you held back a little snort as you responded.

“Not a fan are you?” You asked, and he turned to face you as Usami began to speak again.

“Pfft, teehee! It’s an Usami strap! If you squeeze the tummy, it talks.”

You pressed the stomach of yours, smile brightening at the words it said in response.

“I’m Usami... Magical Miracle Girl <3 Usami. I’m an itty bitty girl who’s sweet like milk!”

“Isn’t it cute?” Usami asked. “Love! Love”

The other students didn’t seem to think the same though, complaining as they began to toss their straps onto the floor. You had found it fond how Chiaki had risen to defend the small creation by calling it cute, and soon the conversation was diverted onto the topic of a fun motive, Usami bringing out the swim bags. You pocketed the Usami strap though, unwilling to toss away what you could consider to be a ‘souvenir?”

“That’s right. I have swimsuits for everyone. Well, school swimsuits actually. I hope that’s okay.”

Oh yeah. Would you be swimming? Hmm, you thought to yourself as they continued to talk.

“A-are you telling us to go swimming...? In a situation like this...?”

Haha. Hajime was really beginning to sound like the nerd emoji.

“It’s not like I’m ordering you guys to swim or anything. It’s just, if you wanna go swimming, you can...”

“Th-There’s no way I’m going swimming! There’s no way anyone would be so thoughtless as to go swimming in a situation like this...” Hajime exclaimed, trailing off as he was interrupted by Ibuki letting out a squeal of excitement.

“YAAAHHHOOOOOO!”

“Eh?”

Yeah. You were asking the same thing Hajime.

You could hear a small chatter start to begin as a few students seemed eager for the chance to enjoy the weather and relax. You wondered if you would feel the same? Supposing you were meant to be here, you were meant to be a student of Hope’s peak academy. Would you be more like Hajime, hesitant and on guard? Or would you find yourself eager for an escape, and grab at the chance for an escape with blind eyes?

You stared at Mikan, who was starting to make her way to the hotel to change. You caught eyes with Nagito who was just wrapping up a short conversation with Hajime, and he offered you a smile as he walked over to you, to which you tried to return.

“Do you not intend to swim?” He asked, and you shook your head. You’d rather not embarrass yourself knowing they’d barely have time to step in the water.

“I’m alright. Sea water doesn’t hold the best effect towards my skin. Haha, I’d rather try to avoid the risk.” You said. In your defence it could be true! It didn’t exactly cause wonders...

“You and Hajime are quite similar you know.” He said. Huh?

“Neither of you remember your talents. To be honest I was a bit sceptical of you but talking to you now I see there really was no reason for me to be. I guess I’ve just been thinking too negatively. But I get the sense that both you and Hajime must have truly astounding ultimates, hence why neither of you seem to remember.”

Eugh, you could sense the bluffer from a mile away. You internally cringed. Was he trying to set you guys up or some shit? But you offered him a pleasant smile and a small laugh nonetheless, rubbing the back of your head.

“Thank you Nagito. I appreciate it.”

You could see a small twitch in his eyebrow as you said his name. Oop. Not part of the plan [Name]!

“Haha I skimmed past the handbook. Not a fan of loud places? We match in that department at least.”

And it was true. You had found yourself skipping past a tab or two amidst some conversation trying to refresh your knowledge and find any contradictions. He seemed to have remembered spotting you doing so though, his expression instantly becoming relaxed again as he gave you an easy smile.

“I never even considered going through the student profiles on there again. Maybe it’ll have something about your ultimate there if Usami has finally yours by now?” He asked, taking his out. You leaned closer towards him to peer down at the ipad, trying to ignore how close you had suddenly made yourself. He didn’t seem to mind though, swiping through it until he eventually found a section with your name, that for sure hadn’t been there before.

[Name] [Last Name]. Your height, weight, chest size and blood type was there. Your cheeks were slightly heated up now seeing so. So everyone had access to this via their own handbooks? Sheesh. But that wasn’t what you found to be the most important.

Likes: Hope. Dislikes: Despair.

It was enough to make you pause, you fingers twitching lightly to hold onto the corner of the ipad. You could see Nagito gripping it a bit tighter with his fingers, and contrary to what you had assumed about not having an ultimate it seemed you were wrong. And strangely enough it provided itself as another puzzle piece, something you couldn’t find it in yourself to argue with.

You pinched yourself. You banged your head lightly against Nagito’s shoulder. You scratched your forehead with the tip of your nail.

Nagito didn’t comment on it. Neither did you.

For there, imprinted besides the word ultimate was dreamer.

You were the ultimate dreamer.

-

Nagito hadn’t given you too much of an outwards reaction to it. He had put away his handbook, without checking whether or not you had finished reading your page, which you had – thank you very much, and given you a somewhat reassuring smile.

“That’s something. The beach is starting to look emptier now, so I’m going to go change. As I told Hajime, I’d be happy if you came along. No pressure though.”

And that was all he said before he turned around and left. You watched him fade away until he was out of sight.

“You’re not gonna swim [name]?” Hajime said, pulling you out of your thoughts. You stared at him, a bitter feeling left in your mouth from the interaction you had just faced with nagito and you faced him with a small frown on your face.

“Were you just listening in on our conversation?” You asked, and your eyes focused on the small cower he gave you. Good. You didn’t know why you were here but you doubted it was to be here with a social rejected turned corrupt.

“N-no! I was talking to Fuyuhiko whilst you were talking to Nagito, I swear I didn’t hear a thing!”

You gave him a small roll of your eyes. “Relax Hajime, I don’t bite. Fuyuhiko did you say? I didn’t peg him for the speaking type.”

A small blush started to form onto Hajime’s face and he cleared his throat, nodding. He opened his mouth to speak, though found himself interrupted by Usami.

“Ah! Speaking of which, everyone has returned!” She exclaimed. You listened in on the lively chatter of your ‘classmates’. It felt wrong to think of them as such, and as it crossed your mind that perhaps you were acting too comfortable for someone in your shoes you noticed a few of the students dressed in swimsuits start to enter the sea. You stared back at Hajime, who had a puzzled look on his face, noticing that he didn’t even seem to be taking in what Usami was saying. You brought him back to earth with a hesitant hand on his shoulder, and a nod.

You didn’t mind nudging him to his canon choices.

“I think they’re waiting for you, y’know? Nagito keeps glancing back at you.” It was a lie. You hadn’t caught him staring since you had found your page together in his handbook, and staring at him from where you stood with Hajime you wondered if his smile would remain this dull during the rest of the game. The rest of the game-!

“You’re right. Usami hand me one of those swimsuits-“

And the sky began to darken.

You couldn’t stop the dread that began to pool up inside of your stomach, crossing your arms over your chest in an attempt to ground yourself as you mentally face palmed. Shit [Name]. You had lost your only chance to intercept with the killing game!

Had you just been gifted the wits to speak to Usami before canon events began to take place, such as Nagito and Hajime introducing themselves to everyone, and the small argument between Byakuya and Fuyuhiko you were sure you would have been able to prevent the game! You would have to speak to her directly at some point, but being caught up with Mikan and being the odd one out had clearly clouded your head before you could warn her about the virus in the system.

Usami was starting to panic now. You gripped your head. Surely you could still do something now? But what if it didn’t work out? That would immediately paint you as even more suspicious than you already were, and who’s to say that Monokuma wouldn’t try to hurt you?

The monitor buzzed to life. And from there you knew that no matter what you did, to Monokuma, or rather to Junko Enoshima? The game had already begun.

“Ahh, ahh...! Mike check! Mike check! Ah, ah! Ah, ah! Can you hear me, can you hear me?”

There was a brief silence.

“Puhuhu... surprised? You were totally surprised! ...Riiiight?” He gave the mic a small tap, a sound coming out of the monitor. “Now then, sorry to keep you all waiting for so long. Let’s leave all this worthless entertainment behind... it’s time for the main attraction! You guys better hustle over to Jabberwock Park!”

“Could it be? This voice...!” Crap. So everyone was scared. Thanks for being the responsible adult Usami. Your fear is toooootally helping this whole situation ten times more. Just how crappy was this system? Not only were you not meant to be here but the announcement of Monokuma had begun.

“I-if this is... Oh, this is very bad. I gotta do something... It’s all up to me!” She took off to Jabberwock island and Hajime weakly called after her before turning to face Byakuya, which the other students were also starting to do. You reckoned you had at least thirty seconds to start dashing towards Usami before she reached the island.

You chased after her, pushing hair out of your face and covering your chest as you ran. How you couldn’t wait to down your aloe vera drink when you got the chance, which you had stored inside the large pocket of the hoodie you had been dressed in since you woke up here. It was quite plain, white and oversized, paired with black leggings and a black and white pair of jordans. You hoped you at least wouldn’t be expected to refund the money for them.

“Usami! H-hold up please. We need to speak!” You called after her, and as you uttered your last sentence she turned towards you. You picked her up as she paused, resuming a walk towards the park.

“[N-Name]?” She stuttered, but you gave her no room to argue shaking your head.

“You must surely already realise something is up. I’m here, Junko’s here, we need to come together if we don’t want this to all fall into shambles.” You said, and she silenced herself, looking into your serious eyes.

“I don’t know why I’m here. I have no idea but all I know that can help you is that she wants to start up another killing game, and with the way things are already set out, she is going to succeed. You are going to die. Chiaki is going to die. A-and I didn’t get the chance to tell you so at this rate, I may as well be taken as well.”

You stared down at her. For a moment neither of you spoke, but she was quick to defeat the silence.

“I had a feeling this was going to happen. When I noticed you here I requested one of my higher ups do a scan through the java and code here, but by then it was too late! Aah, this was all my fault! B-but who are you? A-and just what do you know?”

“I know everything. About Makoto, about the future foundation, the remnants of despair. A-and I have a clear idea of what’s going to happen here if events go untampered with. I just don’t know how I’m here, or why.”

She looked back up at you, and through her cotton eyes you could see a glimmer of something more serious start to shine.

“Your code said a few things. The general information for your person was hidden between some binary which is why I was able to add it into your report card. I hate to have baited you out somehow but I had no choice as it was already engraved into the program. Seeing as Monukuma, or rather Junko as you understand has hacked her way into the program she has no way she can harm you directly, unless she uses one of the other students...”

She trailed off in thought, and you nodded.

“As a motive. Would I really be worth all of that trouble though? I-I’m the ultimate dreamer. Was there not a single thing in the code stating what that means?”

You were approaching the island now, and you held onto her soft fur a slight bit tighter. Her ears twitched lightly as she responded.

“She who finds herself unable to dream shall be destined to eternal slumber. That’s what was listed besides your name. But besides that it says nothing directly about your talent.”

And as you set her down and entered the park with her you found yourself already knowing just what this meant.

This was a dream, though to you, you supposed it more of a nightmare.. And if you didn’t find out the truth behind it you’d be unable to exit. Usami nudged her body against your legs and turned her body slightly to point towards someone else who had just entered the park.

Hajime.

You were destined the same fate as him.

As Usami parted from you with a small waddle and parting words you couldn’t quite make out, that igniting feeling started up inside of you.

Hajime had changed his fate, and you’d do the same. You’d best this stupid game and once you awoke you’d refund your stupid ass money and delete tumblr.

-

The moment was tense as everybody departed to their rooms. You were tired.

It wasn’t much too different from what you knew of the other rooms, but you did notice a few things that Hajime hadn’t had whilst you played as him.

You could make out a Nintendo switch on your bed, and as you turned it on you were disappointed to find that it was almost out of battery. There was only one game, but it was enough to make you groan in frustration, slapping your head.

Twilight syndrome murder case. You’d been given a later motive, and you couldn’t help but wonder why.

Eighteen percent. You wouldn’t have time to play through it without a charger, which you debated finding now but decided against. The first murder was approaching, and it was only a matter of time before you needed to speak one on one to some of the people around you, Byakuya coming to mind as you thought this.

You noticed a different array of clothes as you searched through you wardrobe. You were pleased to say the least, you’d be able to switch up your wardrobe every so often. You’d go out in style if you had to. You changed yourself out of your clothes so you were left wearing your undergarments, picking up a stray blanket that had been left stashed inside one of your drawers and setting yourself onto you bed.

Just how long had it take for Nagito to set up his scheme and how were you going to intercept this? These were the thoughts that lingered through your mind as you fell asleep, your hair sprayed out onto the pillow you rested on.

*

You weren’t pleased to wake up to Monokuma’s loud voice as it spoke from the monitor, shoving your head into your pillow before rolling over and getting up.

You showered, changing into a stray outfit you had found inside of your wardrobe. You were glad to have been given the option to style yourself, you thought as you sorted out your hair, turning around to leave.

“No no! You’re to stay right here!”

You let out a small shout at the shock of finding Monokuma right besides you, refraining the urge to kick him as you lightly fanned yourself. He stared up at you, and you found it in yourself to speak.

“Monokuma? What do you want?” You asked, and he gave you a small giggle in response.

“Brighten up buttercup! I wouldn’t come here over a boring reason.”

“I’m inclined to believe that you and I share very separate ideals of fun. Why are you actually here?” You asked, patting down your head.

“You already know don’t you, dreamer.” He said, and suddenly the air seemed to be more still. But you had expected this. You weren’t surprised.

“I know a virus when I see one. You didn’t actually think you could hide the truth from me, did you? I know all about how you’re not from here, in fact I know exactly where you’re from!” He said, and you took in a sharp inhale, sitting onto your bed.

“You’re taunting me. Tell me what you want already.”

“I want you to keep silent. It’d be a shame for something to happen to you when you’re not even supposed to be here, wouldn’t it?” He said, and in a surge of confidence you gripped your bed, responding.

“You can’t hurt me, I already know that much. You just as anyone have to respect the rules of the programme. This isn’t your game we’re playing. It’s the future foundation’s one.” You said, and he seemed annoyed now.

“I can’t hurt you, sure. But who’s to say one of the other students wouldn’t. Listen to me [Name]. I don’t need you, so be assured that I’m speaking in your best interest.”

“You don’t need me but nonetheless I’m still an inconvenience to you. You have your tricks. I’m allowed to have mine.”

A pause. You waited with baited breath. In a way, you were challenging him. And he knew this.

“The students here are interesting. I suppose all I need to do is provide them with a motive.”

And then he was gone. Oh boy.

[lookingforyn]

what about makoto naegi with a male or GN reader (whichever you prefer), where the reader is a huge fan like they’d defend him tooth and nail if anyone ever insulted him?? and they both secretly have a crush on each other

Love Makoto was so hyped reading this request >:))

Makoto Naegi X male reader who had a huge crush on him

SFW, headcannon format, fluff, tiny bit of angst, masc pronouns, romantic LGBTQ relationship, killing game setting

━━━━━━━━★━━━━━━━━━

•You found him respectful, surprised that he wanted to introduce himself to everyone like a gentleman. Him also being really cute definitely helped his case

•When he came up to you he was more nervous and a bit awkward similar to the way he was talking to Sayaka that day. You found it fluttering how nervous he seemed unlike talking to the rest of the class making you feel more confident talking to him

•You started hanging out with him when you had free time (which was a lot of the time) finding him the more safest option of students to mingle with

•You found him quite funny, he’d be very clumsy at times tripping over his own feet or would accidentally speak his mind when socializing, you didn’t know why people in his past found him “bland” and “boring” he was supportive, caring, optimistic, opinionated, brave when he needed to be and very selfless

•He also had a very open mind wanting to get to know everyone and how they lived their lives, even people like Toko or Byakuya he wouldn’t give up on anyone including you making you feel like you had someone at least somewhat looking out for you

•You found him very inspiring and someone to look up to, someone who you could trust, could be vulnerable with even in a place like this. Theses thoughts transformed into romantic dreams, red cheeks and sweaty hands all because of him

•You wanted to ask him about his sexuality but you were too scared that you would make him uncomfortable. He probably saw you as his “bro” I mean it was obvious that he liked Sayaka before she died. Would he stop hanging out with you? What if he found it too weird having you around him after asking him? The only thing you could do was pray that he liked guys even just a little… you prayed that he liked you

•When the trials started to happen, you made sure he had someone in his corner backing him up, he’s done so much for you and helps out everyone, he needs someone to do the same he deserves it

•You’d investigate with him, shut down any lies or insults thrown his way and of corse comfort him after the long and horrific day you all had to endure

•Even when you felt you were in the darkest place in your life, he always gave you hope to keep going, the courage to fight back and the kindness to pick yourself up even if you felt you weren’t worthy of it

•You were sitting down having dinner with Makoto talking about middle school and your guys experiences when he brought up crushes he’s had

•”I couldn’t even get near Sayaka let alone ask her out. She wasn’t the only one though there was this guy on the soccer team I thought was cute, I even joined the team to try and get closer to him. I quit three days later but at least I tried!”

•He laughed showing off his beautiful smile, you forced a chuckle while you mentally prepared to ask him the question you wanted to blurt out since he came up to you that first day

•”Oh are you?… I’m not freaked out or anything, I mean…. not being a straight guy myself, that would be hypocritical.” You nervously laughed trying to soothe the tension in the air

•After confessing to you, hope was in the air of the romance you’ve dreamed about for so long cooped up in this school. Taking a breath of strength, you also told him your own confession

•”Well, at least my lucky title counted for something. I um, really like you too Y/N and I would be even more lucky to be your boyfriend.”

•You spent the night in his arms, holding each other tight in comfort as you talked for hours about anything that crossed your guys mind. You two were anxious about how the rest of the class would respond to a gay relationship, there was enough tension between everyone and you didn’t want yourself or him to be anyone’s new target. If you had him and he had you though, the both of you were unstoppable 💚

[affluent-havoc]

No clue why I made this rn at 1am but here he is! Dude looks like he's having the worst therapy session of his life Either that or he's contemplating some life decisions But, for real! I feel really honored I make people happy!!! Dunno if I'll ever be able to express how much gratitude I have with this and all ya know! I'll always try my best to!!!
