Yandere Izana Kurokawa soulmate headcanons

Throughout his life, Izana has relied on the idea of a soulmate.

Someone who would love her truly and unconditionally...

Someone who would be just for him.

This would really help Izana in difficult times.

However, that doesn't make up for all the emotional crap Izana has to go through.

Yeah, he's definitely not the nicest person.

But this is yandere stuff so did you expect something else?

He would often dream of meeting you.

However, when your meeting doesn't happen, Izana starts to get frustrated.

Why can't he just meet you already?

Are there any other rules?

Does this mean something happened to you?

.

Your first meeting wasn't romantic at all.

You were late for the train and while running you bumped into Izana.

If you hadn't been his soul mate this could have ended worse.

When Izana saw you for the first time he wouldn't know what to say.

You're finally there with him.

Izana would NEVER let you go.

R.I.P your privacy.

It's pretty obvious that you'll never get on the train you intended to take.

Izana is hugging you now and he's not going to let go.

.

Even though you are Izana's soul mate it doesn't really remove all his problems.

Izana is still really clingy, possessive and jealous.

The kidnapping would happen very quickly after the first meeting.

You're his soul mate so Izana doesn't really see a problem~

Izana would usually keep you really close.

He would hug you for all the lost years. Sometimes it could be really stifling.

Izana would also check your phone really often.

There are no secrets between soulmates~

However, he would like to keep you out of gang affairs.

If he ever comes home bruised, Izana would want you to take care of him.

The worst thing about this "relationship" would be that you could never leave.

A string on your finger would work as a bone tracker.

With that, Izana would always find you

OC X Reader:

S/O who is innocent, air-headed and clingy

Azuki Shimizu

☁ Azuki is himself a bit air-headed, so having a S/O who is also an air-head, he is so much IN LOVE, HE IS ALWAYS ON CUTENESS OVERLOAD MODE BECAUSE OF YOU!!!! He can't help it, you're so cute, so air-headed like him and so innocent, he can make all the dirty jokes he wants and you won't even question them...SO CUTE!!!!

☁ Azuki is always there to make sure you focus as an air-head, you're more than likely to lose focus easily but he is gonna make sure you follow things and focus nicely, even if it means throwing tiny blocks of his blood your way before the blocks roll on their own to his cut and heal it on it's own, Azuki is there to make sure you follow your routine, he isn't gonna be rough, no, he is very lenient but he knows the problems you can face by not following a routine or schedule.

☁ Ngl, you were and STILL ARE very much oblivious and innocent to his flirting techniques, you are going to be hit with his flirting tricks and somehow you still don't get it, not gonna lie, he finds it adorable but OH SO FRUSTRATING!!!

☁ You're clingy, he's clingy, perfect couple! He's more of a emotionally clingy and you're more of a physically clingy person, so he is actually very much in love with the fact that you're clingy, he has always wanted someone to be clingy other than his siblings..

☁ He is not gonna lie, he is very much air-headed himself and since you both are dumb, you, him, Dejino, Yuxing, Ayako and Xinyue are thus called the dumb group of the Shimizu family, don't worry, everyone likes you!!

☁ Azuki honestly gets a headache sometimes from you, he gave you the job to water the plant, but now the whole manor is flooded...He allowed you to do the most of harmless things and it somehow always ends up a disaster due to your air-headedness

☁ Azuki for some reason is always in love with your air-headedness, might be the fact that you're his lover and the one he loves, but it could also be the fact that he's happy there is someone who can a bit more dumber than him at times...Depends!!

☁ Azuki is often trying to teach you things, it doesn't work a lot though, he has IMMENSE patience for you, not for anybody else in the family though, scares and surprises everyone, including his parents...

☁ Azuki is definitely one for affection, PDA is fine, not too much though, he does lace his hands with yours, hugs you whenever he feels like it, gives cheek kisses outside, but kisses on the lips are reserved for privacy where you won't ever be able to pull away from him, always in a make-out session....

☁ He is a big one on affection, much like a few of his siblings, one of his main love languages is physical affection and thus would love it if you were affectionate, but if you weren't, he'd understand and find other ways to express his love for you!

☁ Also keep in mind, not only him his parents and his siblings will help you around too! They're all synchronized to each other and that's how it is when somebody new enters the family!!

Raemous

☸ ....Do you think this man really has a brain, fr, he can't even spell brain, but it's fine, you're both a dumb couple and that's what makes you both cute and frustrating to everyone around you!! May god forgive you both cause Lucifer and Asmodeus won't....

☸ You both constantly need help by Solielin or someone from that side of the MorningStar court, cause Dear devil! it's hard to look after you both, you both can't leave each other without causing some type of drama for the royals to clean up after...I think you can make up to them by getting them some good desserts from Zional's credit card?

☸ If you can't focus, he can't focus, there is a connection between you two, if you can't do something he will try everything to help you in that by making a 100 slide presentation and then he forgets to focus himself and then you both get yelled at by Myhilara...

☸ Not gonna lie, Lucifer find you both to be very funny, but Belial is in rage every time you both are around, before you both started dating it was less work as they only had to handle one but after you started dating, you pull the other in the shenanigans you created....

☸ Raemous is often known for his agility and strength as one of the strongest full demons around, he was punished by Zional for a million years and yet he still did not flinch so maybe his biggest thing to keep him focusing is, Belial and Lucifer train with him, sometimes Zional and Diavolo and the rest of the brothers join and so maybe they will start training you a bit too, they will 100 PERCENT BE MORE GENTLE WITH YOU, INCLUDING ZIONAL!!!!

☸ Odelia and her sisters along with other royal ladies will try to keep you distracted, despite your gender, they like to make sure you can be as graceful as a lady while being as strong as a man! It's something every royal does, look at Raemous's body language, he isn't a royal, but he was trained by Mammon these things as well and he picked up these habits from the royals....

☸ Oh, Raemous is not very clingy but he would not mind someone clingy, so be as clingy as you want unless it's in front of Zional cause he gets upset because his wife isn't clingy and Ezoliana is more of a independent person and Zional is clingy, okay let's keep this away...

☸ Raemous and you are so sickeningly in love with each other that is makes the royals coo, puke and want to kill you all at the same time. They way you both hold hands, the way you spend time with each other, the way you both stare a each other, the way you're both oblivious to majorly popular flirting tricks and in the end you both end up making things awkward for each other before flirting again..

☸ Oh speaking of innocence, the only thing Raemous would tease you o and you don't even understand why you're being teased until Mammon or Belial hits Ramey and one of the girls explain the context...

☸ Oh, but your innocence is so very cute in Ramey's eyes, he'll make sure you stay as pure as possible for as long as possible, and that means hitting one of the royals for making dirty jokes around you, and if you ask what it means despite being the most obvious thing, he will say you'll learn when you get a bit older and that it's a demon thing..

☸ That innocence of yours is also upheld by Odelia and Aurelesia, cause their sister, Aurmelle, she was innocent until she became a dirty bitch...she's a bit of a hoe, but she'll also help her sisters keep your innocence with you!!

Ceseline Lynea

⋰01 Ceseline has a huge family with over 40 members, so there ain't no way one of her cousins or siblings is air-headed just like you and as one of the eldest she has to take care of them along with her elder brothers and sisters, handling you is like a piece of cake!

⋰02 Speaking of that, Ceseline honestly finds it annoying with air-headed cousins/siblings though she absolutely won't change them for the world, she finds it a bit annoying at times, but with you, it's the exact opposite, she can never get annoyed with you for being an air-head..she just finds it so endearing, she can't help herself but fall in love with you for that!

⋰03 Ceseline would definitely be one to make sure to help you around to make sure you didn't get distracted, she is honestly very free, some of her siblings or cousins could take her place and do a bit of chore in place for her, no big deal! She is always happy to help you focus!

⋰04 Oh, don't even think about getting distracted, she's a lion-hybrid (if you followed my previous blog and knew about them) and she can control a person's body for 70 minutes before needing to take a 30 minute break, she can help you follow your schedule like that giving you half-hour breaks in between!

⋰05 Ceseline sometimes herself finds it hard to focus and so during those times, she'd like to remind herself of you, you somehow still manage to do some work despite your air-headedness, quite rude but it works for her and while thinking about she always whispers 'sorry's in her mind while giggling...so that makes up for it, I guess..

⋰06 Ceseline's elder twins, Serouf and Quinen, they're twins, elder sister and brother to Ceseline and one of her favourite supporters they have been supporting her since Childhood while teaching her ways and correcting her and so they were the first people she came to when she started to date you and she would talk about you to them all the time and how you're a big air-head, they honestly find it cute!

⋰07 Serouf and Quinen are along with her in attending Elentia, so whenever they're at school, they find her sitting beside you sharing her lunch and short break food with you while explaining something of school to you because you didn't understand it and she would spend all her breaks like this as the break started she'd give her lunch box to her siblings and asked them to not tell their parents she didn't eat food in return of her doing their chores, they of-course agreed happy to eat more food and share some with friends! Serouf and Quinen found it adorable how Ceseline had her own air-head to look after like Serouf had Quinen and Quinen had Serouf~

⋰08 Speaking of watching you both, Serouf would often find you both holding hands or kissing at Saura/Saku base (playground type place at Elentia Acurion) or Quinen saw you both walking while spending time with each other sharing kisses or holding hands while walking through he roads in between the Heopian Fields or her parents finding you in her cuddling and being clingy in her room or her grandparents finding you cooking with each other in their huge kitchen or studying in her room or maybe her classmates finding you sleeping in her bed morning, they all find it cute but won't say anything for Ceseline's sake as to not embarrass her...

⋰09 She is not generally clingy but most of her family members are and so she has learnt that it didn't matter a few of her cousins would hang off her back as she would do some chore and so she is generally has a lot of muscle strength she can carry you in her arms for a huge amount of time!

⋰10 Oh and your innocence how could the Lynea clan forget, honestly everybody tease you a bit but honestly it's all in good fun and they would stop after they see you being uncomfortable or a lady stops them, the men are always a bit more playful and kind of don't mean to be rude but end up coming off like that, forgive them dear....

⋰11 Ceseline and everyone in her class kind of finds it be a bit cute, even Devon who is basically the mood killer half the time, but he finds it a bit endearing in you, he sees you as a friend, people of LingDesu have the tendencies to befriend their friend's friends and that is how they make and create relationships, so you're bound to meet her classmate all 39 are amazing at treating you, including the teacher, Izana!!

⋰12 They all make dirty jokes but will never tease you if you don't understand it as they all only laugh and giggle a bit, before someone tells you to ignore it and if you REALLY want to know, then maybe someone will explain it ad then you will slap yourself mentally for not getting something so obvious! She finds it absolutely adorable, and she hopes you never change!!

Izana

▦ Oh my, Your dating Izana, I mean he has 40 idiots in his class, what's gonna happen if they add another air-head in his life as his lover.....Nothing he will fall for you more, finding it endearing...

▦ Izana can't help himself but blush from cuteness overload at how dumb you are, kind of like imagine Mammon with MC (Obey me!)or maybe baby Denki (BNHA) being dumb, yeah that's how it is with him, poor man, already having 40 but now one more, but at-last is cute while being dumb so that makes up for the fact that he to handle 45 people now, sad yet happy teacher noises come from his mouth as you sit in his class while he teaches the student..

▦ Izana is often free and does not enjoy teaching his students, though he is a father figure to nearly all of them, he mostly spends his time of class sleeping, as they all live for an eternity and he has big bangs 8 times, he learnt that nothing needed to be taught! He has more than enough time to spend with you, while you, Izana and the class gossip or do braiding circles or do spend time with each other like that! He knows an air-head person is a bit dumb, but maybe it's something how everyone is eager to teach everyone else something that he finds precious in this world of his!

▦ Elentia Acurion is more of a place with values and friendships and families and others, people don't learns something new everyday, a topic may stretch for over 9 years if possible, students don't even move classes and stay in one class with same students! And after school they get a few hours of sleep and then they go to their work, as days in LingDesu stretch for over 36 hours! They have more than enough time to get rest, do work have fun and other things! So he has more than enough time to be a teacher, lover, friend and help you focus on your schedules, just extra info for you all!!

▦ Izana is often always there with things to help you focus, he has different tricks by handling his students for so many years and before class 1:72, he had different students in his life as a teacher in a ancient country, which is located in present day China, maybe? He's not sure...What he is sure about is how you should pay attention to whatever you're doing, he is gonna make sure of it! Getting snacks which are meant to make your brain sharper or tea which i said to help you focus or maybe some break and getting some air!

▦ Izana sometimes himself finds it hard to focus, his number one plan is studying or doing his work with some of his students who are doing their own work, if you want he can do this, as long as nobody talks and everyone does their own work, despite being together, everyone is doing their own work and more often than not, all the 40 students along with some from class 2:74 also joins them as it often helps in focusing for them, except they have multiple tables as no way can they all fit in one, a table has maximum 8 students and everyone is sorted into doing their work and if they or you have question, you just ask or search it up without causing a commotion or causing a discussion as it causes everyone to lose tracks, it's honestly very fun and you're probably gonna join them everyday!

▦ Izana is honestly a very focus person, he can naturally do so as he doesn't really keep a lot on his mind, he jut jots down everything on a journal he carries, it was gifted by Zane to him, Zane used to find it hard to focus unless he wrote everything he had to do down and stick to it, he saw his sensei going through the same thing, so he gifted him one on Teacher's day!

▦ Oh and his students see him being so clingy with you despite not being a very clingy person, he's more on gift-giving, but he can handle all types of clingy people, he likes to hold hands while walking through Heopian fields, or maybe eating food together in the teacher's lounge, completely depends!

▦ But he really likes how you're so dumb, it's kind of funny, he has never had this much fun in decades, let me enjoy your air-headedness a bit, promise he'll be nice while doing it!! And if he's not being nice, just pinch him, he'll shut up :>>>>

▦ Oh and he can never get over how innocent you are, how are you so innocent, he is surprised, by this age nobody is innocent, but you are surprisingly! Don't worry, he will make some dirty comment, but then he will cover them up with many sweet comments so you don't ask any of the students what they mean...

▦ This also brings some type of protectiveness in the staff, they like to make sure you stay innocent, quite cute if you think about it!!

[kycken]

Seishu goes characteristically quiet, withdrawing into himself further, turning himself into a visually appealing facade with no bothersome opinions or emotions. He's never been able to stand up to Koko- Even when he gets angry or frustrated, Hajime easily manages to string together a single sentence that slips past all the thorns and barbed wire, through a centimeter's worth of gap between the proverbial lamellar armor he hid behind.

He's always the first to avoid eye contact, to lower his head (truly, like a wounded dog) in submission, the one to feel something inside of the hollow cage of his ribs twist and strain itself with a painful astriction.

Koko isn't letting him off the hook, he never does- Thin fingers raking his jawline, jerking the blonde's line of sight up and forward. It's the same kind of animal instinct, that sensation of entrapment- Being backed into a corner as the fine hairs at the nape of your neck begin to stand on end, you can only bare your fangs and raise your hackles... Or, you can drop to the floor to show your belly and pray that it'll be a quick disembowelment.

"No... I don't think you're an idiot, Koko-" he replies easily, he hadn't meant to give that impression at all. Hearing someone he cared about being disrespected like that made him angry- Though, most things honestly did these days.

Shinichiro-san's legacy had been entrusted to Seishu by Izana Kurokawa. He'd promised to back a man he honestly didn't respect, but it was unquestionable that his violence and mercurial whims managed to get the job done. Then he'd made a rookie mistake and been collared for aggravated assault, by the time Inui had been released from 'reform school', Madarame was nowhere to be found. The ninth generation had completely disbanded after one (albeit, crushing) loss to the Tokyo Manji gang.

The Boss had promised that being little more than hired enforcers would only be temporary. That Koko wouldn't have to keep staying up long nights coming up with even better schemes than the last, examining all the fine print, looking to squeeze the most profit out of each deal with the least amount of effort and time required on their part. Seishu wanted to believe him- Even if he had long suspected it was all just smoke and mirrors.

Even if it was the only way, I wouldn't let you-

Those words keep repeating in his mind like a recording on loop, each word beginning to lose meaning the longer it echoes. Objectively, he understood their definitions as described in dictionaries, thesauruses, encyclopedias- But his mind wouldn't acknowledge those basic facts like it normally should.

He'd bent the knee to Izana, after being told he was valued and that his influence mattered. Even after Kurokawa disappeared, Seishu honored his promise without a single word of complaint or derisive curl of the upper lip thrown in the Mad Dog's direction. Taiju had beaten him to the ground and put an abrupt halt to Inui's 'no losses' streak in combat, so Shiba was the Boss. That's just how it was.

Seishu wasn't even sure what he was capable of anymore.

Inui thumbs the ribbed hem of his jersey draped over his right thigh, smoothing the knitted fabric between his scarred and blistered fingers. His lips roll inward between his teeth, tightening for a moment before he pushes himself into a standing position.

"Yeah. Right behind you."

After re-checking to ensure the front of the shop is locked, Seishu buries his hands in his pockets and focuses on that little divot between Koko's shoulder blades as he skulks behind him.

"I'm sorry, Koko... I won't make a scene, I'll behave."

"You can wait outside if it's that terrible for you, Inupi. God forbid I try to put a positive spin on these damn meetings and follow it up with a night out with you." Koko groaned. Sometimes Inui was so stupid.

He paused by the door though when the blond tried to explain himself more and sighed softly. He shouldn't be surprised that it all came down to the things people said. How wonderful it was to be dogged by rumours in every aspect of his life... That it even followed his home, there was no escape of it.

He went back to Inui and grabbed his jaw, focusing his gaze into those blue green eyes.

"Do you really think I'm an idiot? Of course they're using me, Inupi. But they pay me for it. And Black Dragons is thriving because of that, just like you've always wanted. We have power and respect and a fearsome reputation." He spoke slowly, trying to drive the information into the other's thick skull.

"People can say what they want because all the ones saying that shit are nothing. I haven't fucked anyone for money, I haven't fucked anyone for connections but you know what? If it was the only way to help you with your damn dream maybe I would have considered it. But it isn't the only way, because I'm really fucking good at what I do."

He let go and sighed softly.

"Are you coming with me? Yes or no."

[kazuwhora]

hello hello, i see your requests are open now and can i request izana, wakasa, chifuyu and kazutora with an akutagawa!s/o? hope you have a great day/noon/night! ✨🤗

hi anon! sure! I will try my best with izana and wakasa since there's not tons to work with personality wise so forgive me if theirs are a little shorter heh. im gonna include a little blurb from the bsd fandom wiki for anyone not familiar with his character! I like these kinds of headcanon requests so if anyone wants to see more please feel free to request!

"Akutagawa has a black and white "survival of the fittest" view of the world, claiming that weak people should die and give way to the stronger ones. He is not afraid of pain and defeat His ruthless, vicious nature makes him one of the Port Mafia's most dangerous members, feared by both ally and foe. As violent as he is, Akutagawa maintains a generally composed and detached approach. Towards subordinates and superiors alike, he acts aloof, distancing himself from social interactions however possible. Nonetheless, his composure is fragile. Akutagawa is quick to lash out, ridiculing him for risking the bounty by acting recklessly. This quick temper often gets in his way, fuelling his actions to the core of his very being."

SUMMARY: izana, wakasa, chifuyu, && kazutora with an akutagawa!so

CW: hints of toxicity and violence, mentions of sex but not really all that nsfw-ish so otherwise not much else!

IZANA

- this is an interesting one because from what we know about izana, he is very similar in personality to akutagawa in terms of ruthlessness that stems from childhood trauma and isolation.

- in the case of a s/o with this personality, I think it would be a troubling relationship. lots of bitter fights fuelled by nothing but an inability to express vulnerability, while leaving both of you torn up inside and begging for someone to nurture the trauma and allow space for emotions.

- that being said, with toxicity and trauma also comes intense passion and desire. this relationship brings a lot of fire both in the bedroom and outside of the bedroom, with simple arguments often spawning into intense desperate (and lengthy might I add) sex. like, intense. it's almost like sex is the only safe outlet of these pent up emotions, providing a sort of comfort and also distraction for both parties.

- however as I said in general, this is definitely a toxic relationship. one where neither can help the other when it comes to growth and improvement on a personal level. it's unhealthy and enabling, but for a short lived fling it is hot as fuck im not even gonna lie. lots of hate sex too.

WAKASA

- so wakasa is another interesting one alongside izana given the lack of information and content we have about his character so please excuse the slight kc fanon version I have in my head of wakasa lol

- wakasa has a "don't fuck with me because I do not fucking care" type of vibe to him. I definitely think he's the type to completely disengage from the type of behaviours an akutagawa-type s/o might display. this leads to sort of a sense of competitiveness in trying to get some kind of reaction from him, and it has the potential (much like izana) to become toxic in nature

- any attempts to get under his skin are failed attempts, and the way he looks at you with that half bored expression is something that only triggers more of a somewhat emotional response from you.

- with that being said, my fanon version of wakasa is someone who while cold and aloof, is also quite a rational person. he's been typed by the fandom as INTJ which is quite a quick thinker, and I think he probably (despite not showing it very well) has a soft spot for you. but your passion and intensity (as well as your easily triggered dynamic) keeps him from completely being able to express this care in any way other than not engaging with your antics

- as much as there are some similarities with the type of toxicity in this relationship with both wakasa and izana, the intense passion isn't quite the same as it is with izana. instead, feelings of passion are more to the point and driven by pure instinct and desire rather than toxic passion. wakasa seeming like a very literal person, is actually quite mysterious deep down and has a lot (I mean a lot) of hidden desires and kinks that begin to emerge with time. it's rarely a conversation, and more often just something that happens that surprises you. you just have to go with the flow here, and let him take the reigns for once. it might actually be a good opportunity to allow for vulnerability to take the spotlight for once, which is something wakasa is surprisingly in tune with and quite to the point about.

CHIFUYU

- this is something much healthier than the last two. chifuyu, being an enfp is someone that's able to handle this level of intensity in a person while still being able to understand what's really going on.

- call him the trauma counsellor king. he values each and every response to a trigger that you might have. he notices patterns, he makes mental notes of things, and he does this all without making it seem like he's analyzing.

- to be honest he actually loves the spunk you bring on a day to day level. even though most of the time it's driven by bitterness or hate (not always towards him just in general) he is still able to see beyond that and appreciate you for what you are.

- with that being said, chifuyu will not stand for any toxic behaviour towards him. no sir he will not. threats and pushes for fights wont be tolerated, and he will either disengage or try to expose your vulnerabilities in an attempt at forced submission. this can be hard to get used to, especially with having a personality characterized by the inability to accept being vulnerable. but with time chifuyu is one to create a safe space for you to allow yourself to feel emotions beyond anger and resentment, and he encourages this.

- because of this very feelings based approach, intimacy with chifuyu is just that: intimate. he's extremely loving and doting, hoping that his sweetness can rub off on you a little bit. however he's also very accepting of your need for power over him (especially during sex) and will absolutely submit to your needs in order to please you.

- he really likes to put you in a place of pleasure though, so however that may come to you chifuyu is the one to deliver it.

KAZUTORA

- oh boy. this one is a doozy. listen. if we're talking about timeskip kazutora (as is the case with all characters i write about but I feel it especially important to remind ppl of here given his history), we're talking about someone who is quite literally walking on eggshells in terms of his trauma and emotional vulnerability.

- he's pretty good at being emotionally aware of his needs and struggles as well as the needs and struggles of those around him, but that doesn't mean that he's entirely healed or capable of managing toxicity or his triggers. he still slips up from time to time especially when things get hard, and sometimes finds himself falling into his old patterns. after all, he's only human. but this is where things could get messy in a relationship.

- for the most part, like I said, he's pretty good. so let's focus on that part first since I want to give him credit where it's due. he is very desperate for love and dedicated to providing something to his partner. in this case, he will seek to tap into his emotional vulnerability to provide some sort of comfort for you. he wants to see you happy, and calm, because he sees so much of his old self in you that it gets to him sometimes. but at the same time, he struggles with your relentlessness and can become emotionally drained when things get tough. he'll beat himself up for not being good enough to help you, and this is when he'll isolate and fall into old patterns.

- however, akutagawa's personality type isn't all bad. with a s/o like akutagawa, comes an immense amount of protection and loyalty for their loved ones no matter how tough things might be. in this case it might be hard to communicate this, but there will be times when it's needed in order for kazutora to restrain from old habits and ways of dealing with hardships. but he wants to share his healing with you, he wants you to be happy, and more than anything he understands the struggle of wanting to be happy and healthy but being afraid of losing the one thing that makes you you: your attitude and relentlessness. nobody understands this better than kazutora, which is why things between you can get frustrating and very personal for him.

- much like chifuyu, sex is driven towards pleasing you and only you. chifuyu leans more into switch territory however, while kazutora is 100% submissive. in this case it works out well, however he has a lot of boundaries and limitations when it comes to the way in which you function. he doesn't like degradation. instead, he thrives from praise and any sign of love and care. this might be tough for you to execute 100% of the time, but when it comes down to it the way his eyes twinkle for you is enough to make the ice around your heart melt just a little more each time.

Hi! can I request Kakucho as boyfriend? thank you! ♡

❀ KAKUCHO AS YOUR BOYFRIEND | TOKYO REVENGERS 🤍 hitto kakucho 💿 gender neutral, second pov (you/your), fluff, au - canon divergence, boyfriend headcanon 📅 june 28, 2021 🔗 masterlist

hitto kakucho as your loyal and dedicated boyfriend.

☆ Kakucho is one of the most loyal people in the world, you. have. to. keep. him.

☆ He’s usually busy with Izana so I don’t think that he would have a lot of time to meet new people. I think that he’s future partner would be a part of Tenjiku or someone Izana knows.

☆ He knows that you can take care of yourself but Kakucho will literally protect you from anything and everything. He already failed to protect Izana, he won’t make the same mistake with you.

☆ Sometimes a little too cautious but he’ll definitely back off if you tell him to.

☆ I think that he’ll really pursue this relationship. What’s the point of keeping his feelings to himself? Even if you don’t like him back, he just wants you to know.

☆ The best part about that was when you reciprocate the feelings.

☆ Kakucho isn’t afraid to be truthful to you, even if it means showing his weaknesses and worst parts. It’s also because he trusts you to help him build himself back up.

☆ You’re open with each other, and if you think Kakucho is going to help you with things you can’t overcome, then you’re right.

☆ Really supportive in everything you do. As long as it’s legal. Kakucho is fine drowning deeper in Japan’s underworld but he would really appreciate it if you stay far, far away from it. He’s lost too much already and he doesn’t want to lose you too.

☆ Middle school Kakuchou was a mess. Like a literal mess. This bitch knew nothing about the curriculum. You doubt he even went to school with how focused he is with Tenjiku.

☆ So in terms of education, it’s up to you to help him with that to at least screw some basic knowledge in his brain.

☆ Kakucho teaches you basic self-defense though. In truth, he just wants to know what you know, just in case.

☆ Will seriously fight you. You always end up losing, which should have been expected but it hurts every single time.

☆ It’s really flattering how he has equal time with Tenjiku and with you. In the eyes of others, he’s really loyal to Izana but even Izana knew that he wouldn’t let go of you either.

☆ ✧ Matching earrings ✧

☆ Lets. You. Wear. His. Clothes.

☆ Not really a big fan of PDA but will coddle you if needed. Especially at home.

☆ Omfg movie marathons where he cries if someone dies.

☆ Actually really thoughtful in giving you gifts. Like, he’ll get you something he knows you like or something you’ve been talking about for the past few days.

☆ But honestly? He’ll be happy if you give him anything. Not really picky in what he gets but is really careful in what he’ll get you.

☆ Celebrates holidays with you !! Along with birthdays! On one occasion, he even learned how to bake a cake just for you.

☆ For him, he’s just happy to spend the day with you which is really adorable.

☆ Trusts your fashion sense with his whole life.

☆ So you know how Kakucho has a curtain hairstyle in the future, right? Guess who combs that and even bothers to put hairspray in it? Definitely not him.

☆ When his fringe got long enough, he watched in fascination as your braided it. You’ll know he’s in a good mood when he asks for it to be braided again.

☆ Learns how to braid his own hair after days of frustrated screaming because he can’t fucking see if he’s doing it right. Didn’t tell you because he wanted to surprise you with it ;(

☆ He kisses you so gently that it’s honestly heartwarming. He loves it when you hold him back while kissing.

☆ Intertwined your hands together !!

☆ Loves trying new things with you, like going to amusement parks and bungee jumping.

☆ After he got into Bonten, he doesn’t always have enough time since Mikey is usually spontaneous but he still tries to squeeze in as much time with you whenever he can.

☆ Really loves it whenever you start talking about what you like, your passion, your friends, and what you enjoyed for the day. He just finds it beautiful seeing you talk about whatever makes you happy.

☆ Isn’t afraid to give you space and time for yourself. Kakucho sometimes fears that there are some things that only you can fix and take care of but he respects that and steps back. As long as you aren’t overexerting yourself then Kakuchou won’t be stepping in to deal with it for you.

☆ This is probably one of the healthiest relationships out there.

send   👫  fo relationship headcanons mwah    /    accepting!

@2citiez​​​  asked  :     👫   — for both boys w/ both of dem 🥺🥺🥺! ( anything for u, sauce..... )

throwing this under a read more cus im sure ill talk a lot....

     MIKEY AND SEKI  --

            ☆    the mental illness between these two.... they r unstoppable. i’ve always found mikey and seki’s relationship so interesting, mostly because of seki’s frustration surrounding her affiliations. she has no problem injuring those in toman, but when it comes to mikey, something just breaks in her brain. she has trouble, especially in high school, forming proper attachments to people. so, when she gets attached, she tends to be a little too much. if asked, mikey is not her friend. but, if she were to hear something had happened to him, the perpetrator would be receiving a visit from her.

           ☆    sekiko is barely ever at her own home. she actively tries to avoid it, even if it means sleeping outside some nights. if u ask ME, she has definitely snoozed on mikey’s porch. she never knocks, never asks to go inside -- she’ll just bundle up with a jacket, and fall asleep against the wall. even if he doesn’t know that she’s there, she’ll feel safer knowing that she’s just in his vicinity. it’s not something she would ever admit to, and she would probably call him a liar if he were to bring up this habit. 

           ☆    if she would’ve met mikey before joining tenjiku, i don’t think she would’ve joined either side. she’s very loyal to both him and izana, which tends to bring trouble during brawls. if commanded to attack one of either, i don’t think she could do it. she would rather take a beating herself, which is saying a lot coming from the drama queen.... her own morals tend to align more with tenjiku, however. 

          ☆    there is no talk of her family.    i think mikey probably would’ve gotten this message pretty quickly, but if it were to ever be brought up, she’s ending the conversation immediately and walking away. she can lie, sure, but it becomes harder when its towards those she cares about. he is never to find out about her treatment at home, and if he were, she would start avoiding him, no questions asked. i imagine this would just cause more trouble.

    IZANA AND SEKI  --

         ☆    she dedicated her life to that boy and tenjiku. if izana gave her a command, she would do anything to complete it. typically, male figures in her life tend to mold into one of two idealized figures : a perfect lover, or she projects her brother heavily on to them. for izana, it’s the latter. the more he spoke of shinichiro around her, the more she would open up about yoshida. overtime, i think she would get overly attached to the idea of izana. in her head, he is a safety blanket. someone that, even if he’s cold to her, he will look out for her. 

        ☆    elaborating on one of the points above, i think that if anyone were to find out about what was going on between herself and her parents, it would be izana first. it would start with small things not adding up : due to them being around each other more often, she would maybe slip up on a lie. or, she would have fresh bruises and blame it on a brawl that happened days ago. things just wouldn’t match up, and i really do believe he would catch on! if he were to ask her, she wouldn’t give a reply. she would probably avoid himself and tenjiku as a whole for like, a week, and then eventually come back and act like nothing happened.

         ☆    she is especially violent towards others during brawls or arguments with other gangs, especially if izana is around. she tends to try harder, believing that because she’s a girl, she has to prove herself more than the other guys in the group. she wants to show izana that he didn’t make a mistake by allowing her to join -- whether this is breaking someone’s nose, or her own knuckles. nothing is too far for her.

         ☆    she tries hides her friendship with mikey from izana, big time. she hears of how he speaks of mikey, what their history is in the small tid - bits she’s heard over time. she genuinely believes that if izana were to find out, she would lose her brother. in the time leading up to the toman / tenjiku fight, i believe that she was ESPECIALLY wired. she would act out more, drinking, fighting, and i think it would eventually lead up to trying to start a physical fight with izana himself.

   MIKEY AND ELLI  --

        ☆    i just feel like saying elli adores mikey is a drastic understatement. she is immensely soft on not only him, but everyone in toman. while sure, she’s not supposed to be at the toman meetings, she’s always somewhere nearby after they let out, waiting happily with homemade sweets for the boys. she typically tries to change it up when she can, but if she hears any of them mention a specific treat, she’ll go out of her way to learn how to make it, and bring it to them then. she’s pretty sure that she’s learned recipes of every type of sweet in the world due to mikey. 

       ☆    she tends to gravitate towards toman as a whole. it’s a familial bond that they hold, and elli craves this intimacy. she finds friendship in anyone, even if they aren’t offering it to her. though, before meeting those involved in it, she probably was very frustrated by them, and gangs as a whole. she didn’t really understand it before meeting mikey -- speaking of that, i’d like to think that their first meeting was a bit like hinata and mikey’s first meeting. the idea of her standing up and mouthing off at him only to feel SO guilty afterwards is precious to me. she was probably made chifuyu didn’t have extra time to study or something due to busy meetings.

       ☆    paralleling izana finding out about sekiko’s home life, i think that mikey would notice the abuse going on between herself and her boyfriend. once she had become closer with the group as a unit, brendon would be quick to notice it, and try to put a stop to it. elli is a people pleaser at heart, and would probably struggle heavily with trying to balance both aspects of her life until she literally couldn’t anymore. there would probably be a point where she was ‘banned’ from speaking to the boys, which would eventually end in her having a breakdown the moment mikey questioned it. unlike sekiko, this secret coming out would come from elli’s mouth. it just depends on how much she can juggle before dropping everything.

      ☆    tagging along with the first point,    elli shows up for gang fights. it doesn’t matter how many times she’s told no, nor if they keep a tight lid on where they will be brawling. she WILL be there, because in her eyes, she has to be. after being with them for so long, toman is her family. violence is hard for her to stomach at times, but she would never forgive herself if she wasn’t there when mikey was really hurt. i imagine that she starts bringing themed band-aids to put on everyone. mikey, of course, gets to share her highly esteemed sanrio branded bandaids with her. she brings ones of animals, cartoon characters, anything.

  IZANA AND ELLI  --

     ☆    she won’t lie, before meeting him, izana was someone she was heavily weary of. just hearing about such violent rumors was very shocking to her. but, she’s a firm believer in meeting someone before making an opinion of them, and i’d like to think that she did just that when the drama between tenjiku and toman began. knowing her, she probably waltzed up to him like it was no big deal, and just started asking him questions. from what’s your name, to his favorite food, and then why he created tenjiku. she has trouble recognizing when she should be fearful of someone, or if she’s in danger -- he could send her plenty of warnings, but she would still stick around.

     ☆    even though elli sides with toman,    she doesn’t like seeing people get hurt. she would most definitely notice any injuries on izana, and place herself as a front in his life. he WILL get bandaids put on him, and he WILL like it ! she would probably try the same for the rest of tenjiku as well. this is one of the reasons why she’s never had a proper affiliation to a gang -- everyone has their own sides to a story, and she thinks it would be wrong for her to fight against someone she didn’t even know.

    ☆    if she ever feels her faith in izana waver, she often finds herself thinking of previous times she adored their friendship. whether it was the gifts he had prepared for her birthday, or him offering her his scarf when she was cold -- she has many friends that have some problems that affect the way they view the world, and other people. some people just need more patience than others, and she’s more than ready to offer that to him at all times. if he can just give her the littlest bit of positivity or softness to work with, it’ll take elli very far.

    ☆    she’ll scold him like a child.    there were many moments in the tenjiku arc that elli would just not agree with, and that would manifest quite quickly once she got word of what had happened. she would march right up to him, finger pointed and all, and tell him to apologize if he had done wrong. but, not before she first gets his side of the story. she doesn’t pick sides, and she has surely told him that previously. if she were to deem him as right in a situation, the mothering would quickly move back into mikey’s ballfield.

[rekutopia]

In which Shirayuki came home to a surprise (part 1)

A part of the Flatmate AU (one, two, three, four, in accidental order)

The sun had long set when Shirayuki walked back home, though it was only shortly after six. The wet November chill hung heavily in the air and made her shiver despite her duffle coat. With half of her face buried into her thick scarf, she pulled her shoulders together and moved as quickly as her freezing toes allowed. The little pharmacist was usually miserable in this kind of weather, but this evening there were little jubilant skips in her steps. 

It’s finally over.

After almost two agonizing years, there was no more struggle. No more sleepless nights, no more angry tears. No more interrogations disguised as interviews and no more tedious negotiations with lawyers. There was no need to scan the surroundings for pesky press whenever she got out of the house anymore. At long last, she could breathe freely again.

GG Pharmacy was now officially a part of the Wisteria Hospital.

When the first blackmail attempt appeared at the beginning of last year, Shirayuki didn't think that the matter would turn into a big scandal. Why, because it was based on false accusations. GG Pharmacy was indicted to give special treatment to doctors from certain hospitals to gain extra profit – how preposterous!

At first, they ignored the threats, thinking they were empty. But then they noticed that more and more partners started to question their credibility and even express their wish to withdraw from their cooperation. When one day a summons landed in their mailbox they knew they had to take measures.

It wasn’t easy to clear their name and regain their reputation. Looking back, Shirayuki was grateful for every individual who had helped her make it through the scandalous dispute. 

The detectives, who uncovered the syndicate behind the whole affair. The U-Syndicate was known to infiltrate pharmacies with their men and sell modified drugs that left the patients helplessly addicted to them. If that wasn’t successful they would then try to bring down the whole pharmacy and replace it with one of their own. While Shirayuki has heard of them, she never thought that a small, inconspicuous neighbourhood pharmacy like GG Pharmacy would be one of their targets.

She was grateful for Zen Wisteria. It was pure coincidence that they met. The general counsel of Wisteria Hospital was scouting the pharmacies around the area for a cooperation as a hospital pharmacy. Since Dr. Gazelt was busy dealing with the syndicate matter she sent Shirayuki in her place to talk with him. Despite their dire situation, Zen believed in their innocence, and their lunches quickly became strategy meetings. Zen also provided GG Pharmacy with the best – though also the most expensive – lawyer in town.

She was grateful for Izana Wisteria, the board chairman of Wisteria Hospital. He was willing to overlook the scandal and let his brother persuade him to partner with GG Pharmacy. If it weren’t for this cooperation, it would be much harder for them to get back on their feet. The broken connections with their former business partners would be challenging to re-establish. Attaining new ones would be nearly impossible in the beginning. Though Shirayuki still found the tall, blond man rather unreadable and sometimes even intimidating, she had great respect for him.

She was grateful for Yuzuri and her late-night hot cocoa, ready to slap her on her back whenever she started to lose faith during the whole turmoil. Since Yuzuri was a part-time worker the whole scandal didn’t affect her as much mentally as financially – at some point, they were forced to reduce her hours temporarily. But she was always cheerful when she clocked in and that never failed to lift Shirayuki’s spirit.

Most of all, she was grateful for Obi. All the time at work, Shirayuki managed to keep a strong facade in front of everyone. She couldn’t cause Dr. Gazelt and Yuzuri more worries, so she kept her anger and frustration to herself. Until one day she couldn’t anymore and her poor, bewildered flatmate then found her in a quivering heap on the couch.

Obi was her only shoulder to cry on, the only person outside of work she could talk to about the matter. He never pried, always giving Shirayuki time to unfurl the story bit by bit, whenever she felt like it. Even when she wordlessly invaded his personal space after her first breakdown, he let her cuddle up to him and gave her comfort.

Obi was also the one who picked her up and saved her from persistent reporters even though it caused him to be late for work. He stayed up with her while she readied herself for the summonses and carried her to bed when she no longer could keep her eyes open. He made her laugh whenever he could with his silly shenanigans.

A tap on her furrowed eyebrows. A poke on her cheeks. A nudge on her arm. A pat on the top of her head. When she was lucky he sometimes even offered her a shoulder massage. Obi’s touches reminded her to relax, and that overthinking stuff would not do her any favour. It won’t be a full victory if you look like Yubaba afterwards, he once said, though I’m sure you’ll be a cute granny someday, he added. Not only did Obi believe in her when she couldn’t believe in herself – he also saved her from premature ageing.

Shirayuki chuckled despite herself. I’m so glad Obi’s my flatmate.

She sighed happily as she approached her building. She wanted to tell Obi the good news right away, but unfortunately, that had to wait until he was back from his late shift. She was looking forward to getting away from the cold, though. The first thing she would do was to soak in a nice, relaxing hot bath. Maybe even use that yuzu bath salt Obi brought her from his last trip to Japan. A treat to herself after winning the battle. Well, technically, Dr. Gazelt won the battle, but hey, Shirayuki had her share of fights.

Closing the door behind her, Shirayuki exhaled with relief. The flat was pleasantly warm, welcoming her home, thanks to the smart app that automatically times and regulates the temperature – one of Obi’s gimmick. Another reason to be thankful to her flatmate.

When her nose was finally freed from her metres-long scarf, Shirayuki caught a waft of something delicious in the air. Something very much like Obi’s black pepper tofu. A smile rose on her lips as she felt her heart swell, all of a sudden brimming with affection towards her thoughtful flatmate. 

Aww, Obi made dinner before he left.

Shirayuki started to fumble with the buttons of her coat. Despite the thick gloves she had on that day her fingers were cold and stiff. Not only her fingers, but her whole body was stiff. She must have been unconsciously tensing all her muscles from the cold.

Bath first, then dinner.

After shrugging everything off, Shirayuki went into the living area and was about to turn on the lights there when she heard something.

Something that sounded like a groan.

Shirayuki stopped dead in her tracks, perked up her ears and listened closely. What on earth was that? Was there someone inside the flat? Heart in throat and eyes wide open, she scanned the room for signs of movements in the darkness but didn’t find anything out of place. 

Then she noticed a stripe of faint light coming out from under Obi’s door. Shirayuki sighed and let all tension drain away from her body. Shaking her head in disbelief, she relaxed her stance and placed a hand on her chest. 

Of course, it’s just Obi.

She felt silly for freaking out so easily. But then again, what was Obi doing, being at home? Was his shift cancelled? Whatever the reason was, Shirayuki would make sure he gets an appropriate scolding. What was he thinking, scaring her like that? He usually texted her when his schedule changed.

Just as she started walking towards Obi’s room to give him his well-deserved scolding, she heard it again. 

It was definitely a groan.

This time, something clicked in Shirayuki’s brain. Could it be that her flatmate was...enjoying some alone time in there? Shirayuki felt her face flushed. W-well, it’s not that she minded or anything – Obi was a man, just like Shirayuki was a woman, and-and it’s perfectly natural for a man – and a woman! – to have...biological needs in...different forms, such as...this one. 

And so, although it was never her wish to catch her flatmate jerking himself off, Shirayuki had to accept the inevitable that it already happened. The only thing she could do now was to simply pretend she didn’t hear anything, slip quietly into her room and–

Another faint sound broke her train of thoughts. Without her permission, her feet went ahead and brought her straight to Obi’s door, tip-toeing lightly, silent on the parquet floor like a burglar in her own house.

“Aaahh...”

From directly in front of the door, the moaning and groaning were louder, clearer and they went straight down to that warm place between her legs. Shirayuki held her breath and gripped the hem of her pullover to ground herself. Obi sounded so wrecked, his heavy panting now also audible from the proximity.

Shirayuki’s brain was working in parallel. One part was frantically telling her to stop eavesdropping and leave her flatmate be in his solitary pleasure. The other part was busy sending her images of how that said flatmate might look like right now. And the noises he was making were rather fuelling the latter.

Was he lying on the futon or sitting on a chair? Was there any piece of clothing still on him or was he only wearing his birthday suit? Was his head thrown back? Eyes closed? Eyebrows beautifully scrunched? Lush lips parted? 

Shirayuki was about to step closer and lean on the door before she caught herself.

Don’t be ridiculous, Shirayuki! Stop this nonsense! Go to your room!

Cheeks burning, Shirayuki pulled herself reluctantly away from the door. She was starting to turn towards her own room when the next thing she heard sent chills down her spine.

“Aahh! Aki! A-Aki! Slow down!”

Then a deeper, familiar voice came through the door. “This is as slow as I could go.”

“Fuuuck!” Obi’s voice was breaking, like on the edge of pain.

“Just breathe, love. Breathe...” came the soothing reply, followed by a long, breathy moan from Obi.

Shirayuki stood frozen between their rooms. The hot arousal she felt just seconds ago was gone in a heartbeat. In its place, a twinge in her heart, followed by a pulsating, dull pain. Shirayuki raised a hand to her chest and rubbed on it, first softly, then more aggressively, as the pain did not go away. Strange, did she just get a heart attack? Should she call 112?

Still rubbing her chest, Shirayuki slowly retreated to the living area, then further back to the corridor. There she put on her coat and her muffler. Then she grabbed her keys and her purse and quietly slipped out of the flat. She put on her boots, went downstairs and walked outside.

----

Just how long she had been walking aimlessly, Shirayuki didn’t know. What part of town did she end up in anyway? In front of her was a park she didn’t recognise. There was hardly anyone but herself. Looking around absentmindedly, she saw only one brave jogger and a couple of dog owners. The chilly wind had died down but now there was a layer of thin mist in the air. 

How did she even get here? Everything that happened after she heard Aki's voice was a blur. The only thing certain was the constant throbbing in her chest, on which her gloved hand was still rubbing, sometimes lightly pounding. 

Why wouldn’t that nagging pain go away? Should she really go have it checked out? Maybe it was really a heart attack? And why was it so damn cold? Her face felt numb and though Shirayuki didn’t feel like it she knew she needed to go somewhere inside, soon.

She didn’t want to go back to her flat, though. She couldn’t. No matter how alluring the hot bath was, and not to mention the savoury black pepper tofu that–

Oh. Shirayuki bit on her lip. Her eyes suddenly stung with unshed tears.

I guess he made it for Aki.

Inhaling a shaky breath, she made up her mind. She patted her coat pocket and reached for her phone.

“Hello, Yuzuri?”

ObiYuki Madness Championship- Mutual Pining

Under the cut because the lemon-y part of the citrus scale applies. 

There is art AND questionable writing under the cut. ~2k words. Good luck and have fun!

~~~

Obi woke up cold and with skin clammy from sweat. His skin tingled everywhere Shirayuki had been kissing him. His lips still burn from where he had returned those kisses- to her lips, trailing down the long column of her neck to her shoulder, along the wing of her collar bone, the hollow of her throat. He smiled, soft and serene.

It didn’t take long for reality to crash in around him. In mere seconds, he was grounded by two truths: She wasn’t for him and she never would be.

His breath caught in his chest, choking him as he fought against a rising tide of emotion he tried to keep hidden during the day but stopping the scenes his subconscious came up with in the dark recesses of the midnight hours was impossible. It was a beautiful and too-vivid contradiction: his best dream, also his worst nightmare.

It was always the same in the first moments of waking. He woke happy, excited to see her, but it faded fast against the harsh light of reality in the still-dark hours of pre-dawn.

She wasn't his beloved. She loved Zen, Zen loved her, and Obi wasn't even a part of the equation outside of coaching Zen on how to be a significant other worthy of Shirayuki. That was the dynamic. He served them both and she walked a path that would lead her straight to Zen’s arms.

At least she was still asleep next to him, oblivious to the turmoil roiling through him. The heavens knew, if she was awake, she would probably try to determine what was causing him grief. As gifted a healer as she was, though, there’s no way to cure someone of the particular heartache that comes with being in love with your friend’s girlfriend.

For now, the joke was still on Zen. She might be in a relationship with Zen, but it was Obi himself who was literally in her bed every night. Even in the stuffy manors of Clarines’ northern nobility, the nights were still too cold and the rooms were too large for the heat of a fire to reach the entire space. They shared a room and bed simply to save body heat, but still. He was there.

The nobles, well-aware of how cold the north truly was, understood the predicament so propriety was, mercifully, a non-issue. Besides, Shirayuki's relationship with Zen was the worst kept secret in history. Everyone knew Obi was just a friend and guard. They’d all heard what happened in Tanbarun. It was understandable that her designated knight would stay as close to her as possible.

In the first part of the trip, even Ryuu had shared a single bed with them. One of the nobles along the way had a dog who had delivered a litter of puppies. The runt of the litter was the only one left and no one wanted it.

Much to Obi's dismay, the puppy had taken a liking to Ryuu, so they bought it for him. Ryuu now snuggled with the puppy at night and was learning how to train and play with it during their down time between meetings. That left just Obi and Shirayuki sharing a their room.

The peaceful silence of the night around him broke when Shirayuki let out a soft moan. It wasn't one of her usual waking grumbles. It was lighter, more breathy, and not at all innocent sounding. Definitely not a sound meant for prying ears.

The sound shattered Obi, lancing through him sharper than any weapon ever had. He didn’t even want to entertain the idea that she could even make such a sound. That was something for Zen to find out- if he ever got that far.

He needed to not be here in the room, let alone in bed with her, if she was going to have that type of dream. She deserved privacy and he needed to be anywhere else. Outside? Outside would be a good start.

Carefully- and silently- he extricated himself for the heavy blankets covering them. He made up the bed on his side as best as possible when there was a person still in the bed, and beginning to squirm, at that.

Heavens, he needed to get out of the room now.

He knew the guard rotations and everyone knew they were ambassadors of King Izana. No noble would risk the shame of letting any harm befall such an important woman. If he slipped out for a while but stayed close, she would certainly be safe. He didn’t need to be by her side every second.

Behind him, Shirayuki moaned louder and more broken than the first. In under a minute, he was  out the window, and up on the roof above their room- a reasonably safe distance away.

He laid down to stare up at the full moon, so bright it blocked out most of the dimmest stars. The snow along his back was cold but paled in comparison to the icy adrenaline coursing through him from both the sounds Shirayuki had been making and his quick ascent to the familiarity of the rooftop. He locked his arms behind his head and left his legs dangling off the side, settling in for an extended stay.

He was only a short drop away from being by her side again should anything happen in the time he needed to hide from whatever dream she was having. She would thank him for affording her that privacy, if she ever knew.

He’d see to it that she didn’t.

~~~

Shirayuki squeezed her eyes as tightly closed as she physically was able, fighting a losing battle against the pull of the waking world. She just didn't want to leave that dream. Obi's hands and lips had been everywhere and it had felt magnificent. Her entire body felt more alive than it ever had before. If it was possible for humans to glow, she certainly had to be.

It was rare for Shirayuki to have that sort of dream at all and, when she did, the dreams were not so vivid. The man was always obscured in some way, lacking definition like she was seeing him through fogged glass or cast in a shadow so dark no light could touch it. Never before had it been Obi.

Her breath caught painfully against the lump setted in her throat, refusing to fill her lungs with much needed air. When had that happened? Obi? When had he become someone she had romantic dreams about? When did she start having romantic dreams she didn't want to see end- dreams that were about him? When did she…? With Obi? Obi?

She never woke up still burning, yearning for that touch to continue, like she wanted now. She rarely remembered anything about them at all. She reached her arm out to grab onto Obi, to pull herself closer to his warmth. Confused as she was, whenever she was met with unsteadiness, it was always Obi whose hand she reached for. Not only was she confused about waking up to that kind of dream about him, but she was freezing.  

Her hand met blankets cooled with absent body heat and her eyes shot open. She took quick stock of the room. Obi wasn’t anywhere to be found, even when she squinted against the darkest shadows of the room where the moonlight didn’t reach. The fire was out entirely. The doors to the balcony were still shut but the window to it was wide open.

Wait.

The window was open.

Terror gripped at her as flashbacks of Obi trapped in a battle to protect her as she was whisked away by then-unknown captors played over in her mind. A night long ago in the Royal Palace of Tanbarun. She had been taken by one group, then stolen away from the original group by a band of pirates.

But this was Obi, she reminded herself. She took a deep breath, letting the cold air burn in her lungs, grounding her to reality. She was likely in no real danger, outside that which resided in her mind. Obi, of all people, would not let any harm come to her if he could prevent it. He wouldn't leave her unprotected, even in the assured security of an obscure noble’s mansion in the frozen North of Clarines.If he wasn't with her, he was somewhere close by.

She hissed when her feet hit the frozen stone floor. She might as well have been standing on a slab of ice for as cold as it was. She padded over to the fireplace, the frigid flagstones needling at her feet for a moment before her body adjusted... or she began to lose feeling.

She grabbed for the poker and stabbed at the barely glowing embers. Any attempt at revival would have been a waste of energy. It was dead. But that just made everything about this mid-night affair that much more suspect. Usually, if Obi woke before her, he would restart the fire. He had either left before the fire had gone out or had left in such a hurry that he hadn't bothered. Neither concept sat right with her.

Not knowing where the flint or Obi's emergency stash of matches was located right off hand, Shirayuki gave up on resuscitating the flames. She turned her attention to the clock on the mantle. It was illuminated- barely- in the periphery of the crisp, white-blue light of the moon streaming in between the gap in the curtains.

Just shy of four in the morning. Dawn was still almost three hours away but it was at least fairly close to the hours she, Obi, and Ryuu usually kept.

Perhaps he wanted to get an early start on training? But he probably would have used the door for that.

It was frustrating. Every possible scenario she came up with as to why he would leave in the middle of the night, through the window no less- something he hadn't done since shortly after their reassignment to Lyrias, she could reason away because Obi was a creature of habit. A creature of habit whose habits she knew better than her own.

She padded over to the open window, the cold floor no longer bothering her now that she had either managed to adjust or her feet had gone numb.

One of the curtains had been pulled through the window in his haste to leave and was fluttering lightly in the soft breeze. The white, translucent fabric all but glowed in the moonlight, like a lighthouse acting as a beacon home and warning that rocks are near.

He didn't appear to be out there when she looked out. But Obi liked heights and, if he was inclined to leave through the window, the odds were high he sought his refuge in a lofty area with a wide open expanse at his front and something solid at his back.

Leaning out the window, she looked up. Above her, one shoeless foot hung halfway down between the roof and the top of the window. The toes of the other peeked over the rim of the roof overhang.

She wanted to go to him but something had made him flee, though. If he had been willing to leave, it was likely not a small ‘something’ either. She didn't want to burden him further so she didn't dare leave the room but she wanted to at least make sure he was okay and obviously he wasn't if he wasn't wearing shoes.  

“Obi?”

She was tentative, afraid of spooking him further. Her voice was quiet and calming, she hoped.

“Yes, Miss?”

His voice was rough when he answered, as though he had been woken from sleep. Shirayuki doubted that was the true cause. Even Obi couldn’t sleep in subzero temperatures without being prepared for such a thing and laying in the snow for extended periods of time was neither practical nor healthy, even with all the heat his body produced.

“Is everything okay?” She tried to keep her voice even but worry clawed at the edges of her thoughts. Her voice cracked, in the end, but there was little she could do about it. She cared about him and he wasn’t himself.

This was strange behavior, even for Obi. He was enigmatic, sure, but he was still governed by self preservation instincts. He was just more adept than most at disregarding them.

“Everything is fine, Miss. I just needed some air. You can go back to sleep,” he replied, gruff and off-putting to Shirayuki's ears.

He was pushing her away. He needed space or else he wouldn't have sought out the expansive night sky otherwise. At least, not in this weather he wouldn't, and in such a hurry.

“Okay. Don't strain your body in the cold. Come back in soon,” she said, her voice firmer. She was willing to concede his quirks but being in immediate health risk was not the time to be forgiving about it. He knew better. “I’m cutting off your toes if they end up frostbitten.”

When he merely hummed as an answer, she sat down under the open window. Her sleeping gown wasn't very long, only reaching to just above her knees. She tucked it up under her to protect her thighs from the cold.

Under normal circumstances, he would have laughed.

Had she punched him in her sleep? He’d tease her about that, not hide. Had she done something before bed or earlier in the evening? He would have said something, right? Was he stewing about something else entirely?

She drew her knees up to her chest, resting her chin on them. She wrapped her arms loosely near her ankles. There was a lot to unpack from the last three minutes. She would wait for him. He’d come to her eventually.

Until then, she could continue working out what was going on. She wouldn’t be able to sleep anyway, not with him out in the cold, even if sleeping meant the chance of going back to that dream.

Heavens and stars, had she done something in her sleep that told him what sort of dream she was having?

Lyrias Letters part 2

A continuation of the letters between Zen and Shirayuki. These take place a little before and after the Night Banquet.

AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/12811773/chapters/31631940#chapter_2

Dear Zen

We’re making some headway with Olin Maris! There’s a mineralogist in Lyrias who studies glowing crystals, we think he has the secret to unlocking the success of making Olin Maris glow without poison. The only problem is that he seems to be avoiding us, but we’ll find him eventually! Promise!

Thank you for inviting us to the night banquet. Obi is very excited and we’ve been talking about the palace a lot lately. We’re excited to see everyone again. I can’t believe how long it’s been.

One more thing, Zen. Obi and I have both decided to aim for Wilant with Ryuu. I want to be a stronger ally to you as a royal court pharmacist and as your friend. When I think about how this also means I won’t be returning to live at Wistal, I get a strong heaviness in my chest, but I promise, if you call for me I’ll always come. This separation is only a matter of distance.

Yours,

Shirayuki

Dear Shirayuki,

Obi mentioned in his letter that this mineralogist is also a nobleman, I’ve not heard of him, but I think I should be able to expedite your search. Mitsuhide will send a letter filling you in.

He and Kiki are doing very well. Kiki is still a favorite among the guards for their drills and has been going off with them whenever she can. She doesn’t care much for balls and I think she’s been dreading the Night Banquet. Mitsuhide has been mostly consumed with party planning and arranging your travels. He says we may be able to meet up and join you for the second half of your journey.

Things here are hectic and yet calm. All the preparations for the banquet have halted the usual goings on, but I know all that work is piling up and will come flooding in the second the celebration is over.

We’re all excited to see you, though! We can talk as much as we want once you’re here.

Yours,

Zen

Dear Zen,

Sorry for not writing as soon as we returned to Lyrias. Lata began training us on how to make the glowing crystals and time escaped me. You’ll be proud though! The supplies we needed were six hundred thousand dil and we raised most of it through selling the tea we all made that time in Wistal’s pharmacy. I’m so excited to see where this leads our research!

I’ve been thinking a lot about the mission Izana gave me. The idea of speaking to all those lords in the north and somehow convincing them to risk their land for a previously poisonous flower is nerve racking. But thank you for believing that I can do it, I hope to prove you right.

I’ll keep you up to date with all our findings the best I can so that you can be a part of the process. When I think about how much work we have to do, two years doesn’t seem very long at all. Wish us luck!

Yours,

Shirayuki

Dear Shirayuki,

If you had written to me right after returning, I might have lost your letter in all the paperwork on my desk.

I’m joking, I always set aside time to read your letters.

When you mention things like raising funds with friends it sounds like you’re having a lot of fun. If I was in that position, I would have been tempted to make my brother fund it, but he probably wouldn’t have been very happy with me if I asked him for so much. You did the right thing and I am proud!

And if anyone can change a mind, it’s you, Shirayuki. I think Izana knows that better than anyone. Like I said earlier that night at the banquet, Izana may like games, but he wouldn’t give someone a task if he expected them to fail. You’re doing so well, keep it up!

I’m being sent out for an inspection soon, so it might be awhile before I see your letter and reply. Until then, good luck!

Yours,

Zen

Dear Zen,

You did an amazing job on that inspection!

(I wanted to be sure that message was waiting for you, in case nobody else told you so.)

I’m working closely with Lata and Suzu right now. We're trying to perfect the Foskia stone so that it doesn’t break. Yuzuri has also been sharing her research about plants that grow inside of minerals. We think that if we can expose the seeds to heat during the germination process, rather than before, then the poison will be naturalized without diminishing the glow.

I like all the busyness that is happening around here, it’s easier to focus on the moment and not worry about the future. Tell me all about your trip and how everyone is doing! I’ve not heard from Izana since the Night Banquet. Hoping all is well!

Yours,

Shirayuki

Dear Zen,

It’s been a while since I’ve heard from you, I know that just means you’re still away or very busy, but I have an Olin Maris update.

The germination of the seeds in the heat didn’t end up working as planned. Shidan now thinks that the real cause of Olin Maris’ glow is the difference in temperature between the plant and the surrounding air. Meaning it will be unique to the cold north! Now we just need to find a way to heat the seeds while giving them enough space to feel the cold. We have a couple different plans, I’ll let you know how those go. I hope I can hear from you before then. Keep up the good work!

Yours,

Shirayuki

Dear Shirayuki,

I’m so sorry. It took much longer to reply than I ever intended. The original trip was extended due to the system of local government needing an overhaul. Since it would be a while, I asked that any mail be sent to me there, but once finished my brother sent me immediately to a neighboring city to attend a meeting for him. Finally I came home only to find out your letters were waiting for me at the original location and I had to send someone to retrieve them. I’ll try to not let that happen again.

I’m sorry that your experiment didn’t go the way you hoped, but it makes me happy knowing you’re already working on the next solution. It’s very like you.

Izana has been busy too, too busy to see me outside of debriefings. I think he plans to send me on a few missions in the coming future, so I don’t see that improving anytime soon. It’s an honor, though, being sent in his place since he can’t leave the palace so freely anymore.

Mitsuhide and Kiki are the same as ever. It’s quiet without Obi, but when I wrote to him asking how he was, he just sent back pages and pages of Lyrias gossip, all about guards and scholars whom I’ve never met. It’s infuriating, but I miss his humor. I can’t joke with Mitsuhide because he always takes me seriously, so it’s just... quiet.

In case something holds me up again, don't bother waiting for my replies. I always look forward to your letters so write me whenever you feel like it and I’ll do the same.

Yours,

Zen

Dear Zen,

That’s a good idea! Just write to me about whatever your thinking. It’ll be fun!

Thanks for the the support during our research. It’s always disappointing when a theory isn’t correct, but that just means we’re getting closer to the truth.

I have an idea for what you can do with Izana! Try writing him letters while you’re away. I think that not being able to leave the palace would be frustrating, so tell him about the places you’ve gone and what the people are like, your concerns and hopes, beyond just your usual reports. I’m sure Izana would value your intel, especially if he’s trusting you to represent him. Congratulations for that!

Obi’s definitely the highlight of most of my days. When experiments don’t go the way we hoped or we’re feeling discouraged, Obi always says something that lightens the mood. Maybe Mitsuhide isn't funny, but he has lots of other strengths. Try focusing on those instead, because I think he’d be heart broken if he found out he was letting you down over something he can’t control. Kiki’s funny, though, in her own way.

I miss you, all of us together. I try to stay busy to keep my mind off of it, but when it’s quiet and I’m alone I still miss you all. Make use of Mitsuhide’s planning skills and arrange for us to meet again soon.

Yours,

Shirayuki

[sabraeal]

OH OH, some hakizana jealousy, modern, or not whatever u want. and you can choose which party is jealous. maybe both are. ;)

Haki would like the record to show that despite what some people might say, she was not trying to start trouble.

She’s just so bored.

Introductions have been made (this is Haki, my daughter, he father says with an open gesture, as if she’s one of the Gould up on the wall; you remember my fiancée, Izana drawls, hand warm on the small of her back, right above where the deep vee of her dress ends, Haki), and she’s summarily abandoned at a cocktail table as her father and fiancé work the room. She presumes her purpose must be to spice up that particular corner, which only holds a sad potted plant nearly her height and what she assumes is a modern sculpture, but looks like an uncooked, oversized, marble piece of penne.

She’s not the only one to have been abandoned as table dressing; there’s more than a few women standing around like cosmopolitan-drinking gazelle, left by their much more important dates to go gladhand and make money. She sees Medina’s wife among them, holding court with a bunch of doe-eyed girls that can’t be much more than eighteen and are probably here on visa. She should try to talk to them, she knows; that’s her job, to winnow information from wives and girlfriends, to smile in all the right places, leverage all the right friendships. She knows this. She was raised for this.

But she can’t be that person, not tonight. Makiri’s face keeps surfacing in her mind, hair shorn to a finger’s worth of bristle, his features grainy on the SATphone’s display. He’s happy now, but she remembers when this was a problem that needed fixing, when every phone call was we need to talk about that brother of yours. Tonight he’s just a talking point for when someone asks after the American flag pinned on her father’s lapel.

That’s the thing about Pandora’s Box, isn’t it? Once you let something out, it never fits back in again.

She needs a minute, Haki thinks, catching Izana’s back as he traverses the room, deep in conversation with some of her father’s associates. She just needs to get herself collected.

The bathrooms at the venue are spacious private stalls, complete with well-lit vanities. She wants to splash water on her face, but she spent an hour making her face look photoshop-flawless; its the sort of effort that can’t be recreated in a public bathroom, no matter how nice. Instead she digs into her clutch, pulling out her phone, connecting dots to get through her lock screen.

She’s not supposed to use her phone at these things; it’s been drilled into her since her father bought her a rhinestone-studded Razr for her thirteenth birthday that a girl who drags out her phone at a formal function for entertainment is vapid and petulant – two things that aren’t part of the persona they’ve agreed on. But she’s not a child now, and if she wants to feed small virtual kitties in the privacy of this public stall to retain some of her chill, she’s going to fucking do it.

Or at least, she is until she sees she’s got a missed text.

u gt th thing rt?

Haki blinks, trying to translate garbage into human speak.

YesSorry ObiI meant to send you a thank you emailI can definitely use that

She doesn’t expect an immediate text back; the timestamp places it a few hours ago, and Obi is mercurial in his texting etiquette, but she’s hardly put it down when the phone begins to buzz against the marble.

n e q?

She stares at the text for a moment longer than she has any earthly reason to, and groans.

Only why you text like a garbage person

aesthetics

Your aesthetic is the garbage?

i prefer to think of myself as a performance artist and terrible garbage texting is my medium

It certainly engenders the same feelings as when I view modern art

rage at your own mortality and frustration at the futility of life?

NoNausea

His only response is a line of indecipherable emoji – she thinks half of them are semaphore flags –and she assumes she at least made him laugh.

“Haki.”

She turns at the unfamiliar voice, smile bright on her face even though she just missed the bacon-wrapped scallops again. It’s an older man she’s never spoken to, but she recognizes him from Izana’s notes as one of the men he’s courting for investment capital.

DeLeo, forty-five. He’s into sustainable living close communities.

“That’s your name, isn’t it?” he asks, suddenly unsure. Humility is charming in a man with a nine-digit net worth. “I heard Izana introduce you.”

“It is.” She smiles. Even without the notes, she’s familiar with his work. A fan, even. She’s been trying to get her father to look into his designs for the past year. “I don’t think we’ve met.”

He hurries to put out his hand, wincing when he realizes how firmly he’s gripped hers. “Mark,” he says, “Mark DeLeo. I’m –” His eyes run over her once before he settles on. “I’m an associate of his.”

It’s only training that keeps her mouth from going rigid. “You build sustainable communities, don’t you?”

His eyebrows go up at that, like he’s surprised to see she can do more than stand around and look nice. “I do. Has Izana talked about my work?”

He pitches forward, curious, but she sees the lift at one side of his mouth and – ah, that’s his game. He’s hoping to get information out of the girlfriend. He wants leverage, wants to know how bad Izana needs him.

“No,” she lies smoothly. “I just read about your work in Wired. I liked your idea for recycling water for hydroponics.”

“Oh.” He pulls away, disappointed. “You don’t happen to know where he is, do you?”

She feels her smile pull tight. She’s not the one with the money, she reminds herself, there’s no reason for him to want to talk to her.

“Of course,” she says, so cordial.“I think he just ducked onto that balcony.“

Now that she knows there could be a text waiting for her, she feels more of an impulse to check.

She’s stealthy at least, making sure neither Izana or her father are looking when she slips around the corner to the bathroom.

speaking ofdon’t tell me you’re staying in tonightare all your besties at promises?

Haki coughs at that, wishing she hadn’t chosen that moment to try to sneak a drink of water.

Please, no one goes to Promises anymoreIt’s like you don’t even read the gossip column

vile slanderi know all the hot celebrity gossipi even know which olsen twin is which without googlingthat’s why im shidan’s favorite

I didn’t realize he was such a fanI’ll get him an autograph the next time they’re in town

okay but only mary kateshidan says ashley is a hackshe was really phoning it in on it takes two

“Haki,” croons one of the women by the bar. All of them are looking when she turns to them, but it’s Medina’s wife that continues, “Are you all right?”

“Chantel.” She keeps her voice even, almost friendly. Medina is old enough to be her father and Chantel is close enough to her age to be her sister, but that’s not her business. “I’m just fine. Thank you for asking.”

She hopes that’s the end of it, but of course it’s not. You don’t get on a reality show by being the sort of person who doesn’t create conflict.

“I just see you’re going to the bathroom a lot.” She leans in, mouth canted smugly. “And out with that fresh new fiancéof yours.”

Haki can’t help the way her gaze shifts to him, deep in conversation across the room, DeLeo and Medina both gesturing with some passion. What she wouldn’t give to trade place for even a moment.

“Maybe you’ll need to consider letting out the waistline of your dress.,” Medina’s wife presses. “Or maybe buying in an ivory?”

She has been drinking champagne half the evening, but this is what Chantal comes up with? She scans the crowd for cameras – usually there’s paperwork if they’re filming, but there’s no reason to take the chance – and Haki gives her a smile that is all teeth.

“Oh, Chantel don’t worry,” she coos, laying a hand on the woman’s shoulder. “I’d never wear something that looked so fake as a white dress.”

Haki plucks the cosmo right out of her hands and downs it, handing her the empty glass with a smile. “It looks like we have a good bartender tonight, doesn’t it?”

She’s eyeing her next opportunity for escape when she feels a hand at her back, a warm breath in her ear.

“Are you feeling all right?” Izana asks, sounding as if she could be bleeding on the floor and he would still be flagging down the server for a canape.

“Perfectly,” she purrs back, flashing him a smile. “Is something wrong?”

“No.” His tone very clearly says yes. “It’s only that Chantal was saying she’s seen you taking frequent trips to the lavatory.”

Chantal Medina is not getting a Christmas basket this year. “Oh no. Just a little too much champagne.”

The look he gives her now is earnestly concerned, his hand sliding around to palm her hip soothingly. “If you don’t feel well, we can leave.”

“No, no.” She flashes her teeth at him. “I’ll just switch to water.”

The balcony is the safest place,as long as she stands just beside the doors, obscured by fronds.

And just where are you tonightIf you’re judging me for my plans

under my roommatenot as exciting as you would thinkalso youre at a GALA of course im gonna judge that shit

Under your roommate?If you’re texting me then you’re really good at what you’re doingOr excessively bad

wouldnt u like to know

A picture loads on screen of a red head buried in his side, both of their legs tangled on the couch. Haki’s half tempted to tell Izana to break out the champagne, since his devious plan is well on its way to working.

Not to be crassBut perhaps you should consider waking the girl with your clothes onAnd suggesting she give them back

intriguing ideabut still not interested

Come on, didn’t they teach you how to handle girls in your boyband days?

yeah but all those chastity agreements really harsh the whole player vibe

Just bend down in front of herI’m sure everything will work itself outYou have that Park Jimin ass

how dare u utter the name of my bitter rivalPark Jimin has MY ass

She hesitates.

You two look cute, though

don’tpls

“Ah,” drawls a voice right next to her ear. “Here you are.”

She stiffens guiltily, but the phone is already being lifted from her hands. Izana thumbs off the screen, not even glancing at its content. His smile is wide and fake; he must think someone is watching them.

He slips her phone back into her clutch, palm brushing against her waist. “You don’t want your father catching you with that.”

She shakes her head, watching him with wide eyes. She doesn’t think she’ll ever quite be used to how he talks low like that, how he makes her breath come short.

His fingers band around her wrist, gentle but stern. “I think,” he says, with no humor at all, “That you and I should have a talk. Privately.”
