QUARTET NIGHT with Chubby, Motherly-type Reader

Requested by @lonesomeseafairy

"Can I request a Starish or Quartet Night with a Chubby motherly reader?? ( platonic if you could do that! ) :3 I hope to see more of UtaPri since I recently got into the anime!"

My first request! I am elated. I hope you enjoy the series… The movies are very good as well! I decided to write for QUARTET NIGHT only, I hope that's okay.

When it comes to AI, he's the one that seems the most mature and organised of all, but he can still be childish in certain situations. Although reticent at first, a motherly-type of friend would help Ai to regulate himself better - he tends to get obsessive over things he likes and regularly loses sleep doing stuff like practising music or online gaming, so I believe someone who would remind him to take breaks or just stop and relax would help him to manage his free time better. He would find it a bit distracting at first, but with time he would understand that it is what's best for him and become thankful for the small caring gestures of this friend.

It's not something that everybody knows and even less people would know how to deal with it, but he was extremely confused once he overheated and this friend tried their best to help him with it. Following instructions without prying or asking for reasons as to why - merely helping out of worry for his well being, was something he had not really experienced many times before. Although this friend would not force him to tell any of his past if he didn't want to, I feel Ai would eventually tell them about his nature once he felt a bit more comfortable with it.

Once he gets close to this friend, they would be the first person he would call when he wanted to discuss his thoughts and discoveries about feelings, people, and the like. He has the bad habit of doing so late at night, though, so sometimes he still gets scolded about it…

For RANMARU, he would be very pissed off at first. If this friend is a woman - well, he doesn't do very well with women to begin with, even less with ones that tell him what to do. Little by little he would come to accept it, rather than admit that he appreciates it, and come to expect a warm blanket over him once he wakes up from a nap, or a small snack next to him, rather than complain about it.

It might be out of respect or to avoid being scolded, but whenever this friend is present, he tries his best not to use overly aggressive language and be AT LEAST a little polite; if he catches himself being too rude, he would quickly look at his friend as if trying to see if he has been caught and about to be called out. He might even call them by their last name if they preferred (no honorifics, though!).

Once he and this friend become closer, I think he would be the type that would enjoy just plain hanging out, no need to talk deep or become too sentimental. He would invite them over to his flat for drinks (which would have this friend bring him some plants or knick knacks, his apartment is so empty!), and might even accept help with dyeing his hair once the roots start to show again.

Similar to Ranmaru, CAMUS would first find it a nuisance. Who were them to tell him what to do and how to act? Of course in front of other people he would be cordial and sweet, but on their own when there's no cameras around, Camus would not be very welcoming to that kind of behaviour. Rather than think of it as someone taking care of him, he would see it as someone looking down on him, as a lot of people did back in the Silk Palace.

This friend manages to get closer to Camus by making a good cup of tea and bringing some nice sweets. He would begrudgingly accept the brewing as acceptable, no matter how amazing it is, and would drink it in silence. Once he sees that this friend is not drinking tea, or eating the snacks themselves but rather serving them to him, he would say something alike to how it's not polite to stand while someone else was eating - a sneaky way to invite them to sit as well (maybe after feeling guilty because of his harsh words and treatment).

He doesn't want to assume anything related to eating habits given his friend's weight and he's unsure if the question would come as too intrusive or offensive, so he would come up with a roundabout way of finding if this friend had any snack preferences. He would pretend he just bought some, and ask if they would be willing to share over a cup of tea, or come up with an excuse to invite this friend to a shop he's been meaning to check himself.

One has to be careful, though, as dealing with Camus is quite tricky. He does not appreciate when people act (in his eyes), as if they know better than him. Still, he would accept once in a while for this friend to warn him to stop eating so much sugar at once, or casually help him calm down if he gets too angry at something in particular.

Finally, with REIJI, it would be a bit of a tug of war at first. He's the one that acts like an elder brother to the rest of QUARTET NIGHT and STARISH (or anything younger than him, really) so he tends to take the role of caretaker most of the time. At first it would confuse him, and he wouldn't really know how to react - he's not used to being the one being taken care of.

He would learn to appreciate it, though he would pass it as a joke as he tends to do. He would comment something about this friend being "reichan-senpai's senpai! so you better behave!". If this person is good enough at reading people OR has gotten close enough to Reiji, he would cherish those moments where his friend asked him for menial things as a way to distract him when his mood grew sadder as it tends to do at times.

If he got close enough to this friend to talk about it, he would open up about his weight as well. Although he doesn't want to assume either, he knows people can be overly judgemental about it, even more in his line of work, and would see this person as a safe space to talk. He's good at cooking and his family runs a bento shop so he's a good eater, and although he is pretty athletic, he is not as skinny as most people would expect an idol to be - pairing with his height, he has become a bit insecure about it. Even if he doesn't like when people fight, let alone fight for his sake, he can't help but feel a bit glad when this friend stands up to him after Ai called him overweight once.

He would try to pay this friend back on his own way, that being by his cooking or inviting them out for a ride, to show his appreciation as well. It's a constant battle of out-parenting each other!

Like, I adore the fact that the utapri VAs at one of the Maji Love Lives, looked out into the audience and went "wow! There's a lot of guys here!" And some reactions, initially were "wait, you guys wanna be here, right?" Which was instantly met with, "of course they do! Hi guys! Can we hear from you?" So the crowd cheers.

Then blessed Morikubo pulls up with "welcome, my girls! Welcome, my boys!" and has just NEVER stopped. There were a few other greetings in character but those haven't stuck. But my girl and my boy. My girl and my boy are forever.

(6/6) Kotobuki Reiji's Private Story [Utapri Live Emotion]

Ch 1: (unlocked if you reached intimacy lvl 6 with Reiji)

-TV Station's Hallway- Reiji: Kouhai-chan! Talk about a coincidence, did you have work on this location too? Haruka: Kotobuki-senpai! Thank you for your hard work. I've just finished with my work and decided to go home just now. Reiji: Really? I'm also done with my work. Somehow it kinda feels like fate, don't you think~♪ Reiji: That's right, if you're free right now can I take a little bit of your time? Onii-san will take you to a very good place☆ -VIP Room- Haruka: Um…Kotobuki-senpai, why are we here…? Reiji: Why you ask, because we came here to eat aren't we. Remember the upcoming CM that I was supposed to take a part of, you're the one in charge of the music, right? Reiji: So basically this is my way of thanks in advance☆ Once again thank you for accepting the request even though it was on such a short notice. Haruka: …Don't tell me the job that I take this time was thanks to Kotobuki-senpai's recommendation? Reiji: Correct~! Actually the composer that was originally chosen by the client suddenly cancelled y'know. Reiji: So one of the staff asked me whether I know any other good composer for the replacement. Reiji: The answer is obviously yes 'cuz there's only one person that came to mind☆ The songs that you made always resonate within my heart, so I'm sure it'll turn out good. Reiji: In conclusion, this meal is my way of showing my gratitude. I'd be happy if you could accept it without any hesitation. Haruka: So that's how it is… Thank you very much. Haruka: (Although I'm still a little bit hesitant, hearing that made me happy. But is it okay for me to receive all of this…?) Reiji: Your shoulders are all stiff, relax won't you. You don't have to be so on guard 'cuz there's only you and I in this room.

Ch 2: (unlocked if you reached intimacy lvl 11 with Reiji)

-VIP Room- Reiji: It's time to dig in~ …Mm, that's delicious! I've ordered a lot so you can choose which one you like Kouhai-chan. Haruka: Oh, thank you. Um… either one looks delicious I'm troubled to which one to to eat… Reiji: Well then how about this pincho? It's cute and easy to eat right. Here, let me feed you, say ah~☆ (choices) <I can eat it by myself…!> Haruka: It's okay, I can eat it by myself…! *noms* *chews* Reiji: Fufu, your cheeks looks like a squirrel. Seeing you eating like that made me want to try it too. Reiji: Well then let's take one. …Mm, it's delicious. This one is pretty good too. <It's embarrassing> Haruka: I-It's embarrassing, so I'm going to eat it by myself. *noms* …Mmm, it's really delicious! Reiji: A~aa, I've been rejected. Rei-chan is sad~ Reiji: …Just kidding, Rei-chan is hardly one to give up, so I'm just going to look out for the next opportunity☆ Here, eat the other one too. (back to story) Haruka: Well then, thanks for the food. …Mm, this one is also tasty! Reiji: I'm really glad that I called you out earlier today. I've been wanting to have a nice chat with you just the two of us like this. Reiji: I'm even more fired up than usual for this upcoming CM. I mean the one who write the song will be you after all. Reiji: Not to mention there's also a location shooting in UK too♪ It's my favorite country you see, so I've been looking forward for it ever since. Haruka: I'm sure it'll turn out into a fun shoot. Though speaking about UK, the thing that immediately came to my mind first is…probably British Rock. Reiji: Oh, I also like that one too. Other than rock, I also have CDs with various genres, such as country or jazz music. Haruka: Really!? Um, if you don't mind may I borrow it sometime? I'd like to use it as a reference while I'm writing songs. Reiji: Oh, it's perfectly okay~ I'll bring it over next time and hand it to you☆ You can go ahead and use them as references! Reiji: …As I thought, Kouhai-chan really do love music huh.

Ch 3: (unlocked if you reached intimacy lvl 21 with Reiji)

-VIP Room- Reiji: To think you were so hesitant just a while ago during mealtime, but now you became much more assertive once you're in work mode. Haruka: I-I'm so sorry, I got way too excited. Reiji: It's perfectly OK☆ Being able to honestly express that you like what you like is a wonderful thing. Reiji: I'm sure there was once a time when I was as pure as you are~ I wonder just where exactly did I lose it? Haruka: That's not true. Kotobuki-senpai looked so much bright and happy when he was talking about U.K earlier, and I think it's so wonderfull! Reiji: Eh, really? To think that you complimented me, I'm getting embarrassed~☆ Reiji: I have always been attracted to UK's culture and fashion you see. Reiji: So I always tends to choose a Union Jack pattern for my belongings. Look, just like this keychain. Haruka: Wow, it looks great…! Looks like you'll be able to buy more new things on your next job location. Reiji: That's right, I'd love to see a lot of things but… Unfortunately I don't think I'll have much time for shopping this time. Reiji: If you want to properly enjoy the charms of UK, as I thought you should just go there by yourself on a private trip. Reiji: There's also lot of places that I want to explore on my own pace too. Shall we go there together and have fun just the two of us? Haruka: Eh…!? Reiji: Whoa wait a minute, you look way too surprised! I'm just kidding. Right now I have to do my best on the CM job☆ Reiji: Thanks for today, I had a lot of fun thanks to you. Let's go out for a meal again together!

Ch 4: (unlocked if you reached intimacy lvl 31 with Reiji)

-Radio Station- Reiji: Good morning~! Wait, Kouhai-chan!? What are you doing here today? Haruka: Good morning! Actually one of the people that I had a meeting with today was actually a staff member from this radio station. Haruka: When I was talking about Kotobuki-senpai, they invited me out to come here to take a look. Reiji: Hmm~? You bad girl, to think that you were trying to make a rumour and gossiping about me right behind my back. Haruka: A rumour, that's not it! It's just that… Reiji: Oh no~, is it something that you can't talk to me? Is it about how unremarkable I am despite my long career in the　entertainment industry or the fact that I'm loud…? Haruka: Eh, I never thought of that before! What we were talking about was… (choices) <About how amazing Senpai is!> Haruka: I got so passionate talking about how amazing Senpai is! Reiji: Heh~ So that's how it is. Rei-chan's impressed! Reiji: To think you can be that passionate when talking about me, can you tell me what part of me that's amazing in your eyes? <All of them are all compliments> Haruka: They were all nothing but compliments. As soon as we talked about it I can't seem to stop. Reiji: That much? Now I'm suddenly curious about the contents of it~ Reiji: Please tell me, Kouhai-chan. Just how do I look like in your eyes? (back to story) Haruka: That's… it's embarrassing to talk about it right in front of the person himself. Reiji: Eh, don't be cold like that☆ Come on, it'll be easier if we just talk it out quickly, right~? Interviewer: Everyone, we're going to start the recording meeting now. Please gather round! Reiji: What a shame, looks like it's time over. …Oh well, let's do our best for today, shall we. Reiji: I'm going to work hard even more so that I could get more compliments from you♪ Speaking is one of my forte after all, look forward to it okay!

Ch 5: (unlocked if you reached intimacy lvl 41 with Reiji)

-Radio Station- Reiji: Dear listeners, hustle muscle~! I'll be your main radio host for today, Kotobuki Reiji☆ Haruka: (The recording has started…! What kind of show will it turn out to be) Reiji: We've received a lot of letters asking for life advice this time. Starting from our very first letter with radio name, "Mijuku Tamago"-san. Reiji: "I want to invite my crush to go out, but I'm afraid to get rejected. If it's Rei-chan, then what would you do in my place?" Haruka: (Looks like everyone have a lot of worries. What would Kotobuki-senpai reply…) Reiji: Yeah, I get you~ Love is something that tends to make us look like a scaredy cat. Reiji: I'd probably going to make a lot of excuses so that I wouldn't get rejected. Like inviting them in regarding of works, or maybe as a thanks or something☆ Reiji: Having a tactics in love is a must. It's okay to cheat just a little, right? I hope your feelings will reach them someday! Reiji: Now, on to the next person~! With radio name, "Rei-chan Love Girl"-san. Reiji: Thank you, My girl! *kiss* Now on to your worries~ …Hmm. Reiji: "My head is so full of Rei-chan that I can't seem to concentrate on anything. I even keep making a mistake during my job. What do you think I should do?" Reiji: I'm happy to hear that you're always thinking of me 24/7. But making a mistake during work is painful, isn't it. Reiji: I also don't want to make you suffering. To me, as long as my fans stay smiling is already one of my happiness. Reiji: Even if you don't force yourself to try to remember me, I will always be in your heart. And that's why please treasure yourself more dearly. Reiji: Now then, who's next~?

Ch 6: (unlocked if you reached intimacy lvl 51 with Reiji)

-Radio Station- Reiji: Dear listeners, did you have a good time? That'll be it for today. See you again☆ Reiji: …Thank you very much! I'll be in your care for the next time as well! - Haruka: Kotobuki-senpai, thank you for all of your hard work. The recording really went successfully…! Reiji: Thanks, Kouhai-chan! Looks like you enjoyed it too. Haruka: Yes! I was especially touched during your response to all of the letters asking for life advice. Haruka: It's as if you shared the pain as well with the senders, and how you give so much comforting words to them… Haruka: Now I really understand why you were loved so much by your fans, Kotobuki-senpai. Reiji: Understand why I was loved, huh. Then, Kouhai-chan…have you fallen for me now? Haruka: Yes, I really and helplessly fallen in love with Kotobuki-senpai's speaking ability! Reiji: Whoa—! As expected, Kouhai-chan is so blinding~! But, thanks for the compliment☆ Reiji: Since you can't use facial expression or movement during radio, you need the ability to convey your feelings and thoughts through words. Reiji: That's why I always try to be more aware of the listener's presence and speak as if they're right next to me. Reiji: And because you were here today, somehow I felt much more closer to all of my fans. Thank you. Haruka: Likewise. I also managed to see a new side of Kotobuki-senpai for today, and that really made my day. Reiji: If it's like that, then you're welcome to come and check me out on my job again. I'm going to show you a lot of my different sides.

tumblr killed the quality but there he is

[gemma-tan]

I’m back?

I never technically left (I’ve been lurking…)

Some (or a lot) of updates:

I’m a they/she and still coming to terms with the fact that I might be a lesbian gay asf. I would still marry any of these men though.

I was not of legal age when I started this blog but I’m turning 22 in 2 weeks. Go figure. Also, happy Aries season (my birthday is in between Yamato’s and Otoya’s <33).

UtaPri is still my entire life (ofc.)

I will forever love Camus but somehow my obsession with Yamato is undefeatable. This is me admitting without really admitting that Yamato is the loml.

I still keep up with what’s going on, I own & buy most of the CDs (since 2017)! Recently money is tight and I am suffering without them tho T_T (There are definitely worse things going on in the world rn. Free Palestine btw)

I’m trying to play the games rn before Dolce Vita comes out (I still have time before they announce more ab it T-T) but I’m also trying to finish every other otome game I own & I haven’t actually touched UtaPri in months…….

I live in LA and I attend any UtaPri events at the anime expo when I can! Last one I went to was shining star stage love in dream back in 2022

Maybe I’m still an imagines blog. Tbh the whole thing was my biggest dream was to be a writer & then the dream died in 9th grade (around the time I died)… but recently after a whole anxious, depressive, ADHD (& possibly autistic) journey & learning to be happy again, I kinda wanna write again. One of the many things that bring me joy rn.

Anyway, pls feel free to reach out I’ve been feeling like meeting new ppl lately! Or reconnecting if we ever interacted in the past (I fear I might not remember I’m so sorry), but I have a lot of other hobbies & music interests besides utapri!! I am not the quickest of responders tho & I am sorry for that

Oh. Yeah. I definitely saw QN’s best solo album. (This might actually have been my revival inspiration. Very powerful. No notes needed. I actually couldn’t breathe for a good 10 minutes—)

oh I’m also on Twitter?? @whoreseki (it was supposed to be hoeseki bc houseki = gem (my name) in japanese but someone took it :(( )

[iamthevampqueen]

This is how I’m currently coping rn

[ghostoftheyear]

50/50 justice... Toshiyuki Someya as Kotobuki Reiji in Every Buddy! I really struggled with him this time, which is a change, but I'm happy with the end results.

I can't believe I only have one more drawing and I'll have done full art of everyone from the Gekidan Shining troupe. That feels unreal. This didn't start out as some massive project but it's probably better that way.

[complementary-oxymorons]

made this for myself :]

context: twitter likes were made private for everyone like yesterday (with no options to opt in or out), so in response people just comment on posts with the miiverse yeah+ button to publicly show that they liked it and I wanted to make one using Reiji’s opening movie shot

feel free to use for all your yeah!+ needs

[felmiiart]

Everyone's favorite old man I did for the utapri secret santa on instagram

With a bonus, as a treat
