A few months ago it occurred to me that because the Uchiha were killed so early there's so much that Sasuke didn't get to learn about their traditions, habits, culture, etc. I started wondering what it would look like if Sasuke hadn't learned to wear those arm covers from his family and that it was something he had to discover on his own. What kind of impact would that have on him? How would that affect him as a child vs. when he's a little older? How would looking at those scars make him feel? It seems like it would be such a simple, no-big-deal thing but there's no way it didn't affect him at all, right? I may have put too much thought into it and made it something it’s not but in any case this fic-let thing is the exploration of those ideas... (it's also a small exploration of Juugo and Sasuke's relationship and how Juugo quietly observes and notices things that go unseen and unfelt by others but never pushes Sasuke to open up or tell him anything.)

.

.

Juugo’s calluses are rough against Sasuke’s skin as he carefully spreads ointment that’s too cold on Sasuke’s bruised body.

Everything aches. Sasuke is zoned out.  He needs a distraction from the other nin’s touch but the only thing to look at in the room besides the wall is the single lamp that Juugo came in with.  So Sasuke looks at nothing instead, unfocusing his vision until all he can see is a blur.  The indistinguishable shapes and how they’re melting together aren’t enough to distract him from anything.  

Juugo’s touch is jarring against his skin, not because of the callouses, but because of how gentle his movements are. There’s a large gash on Sasuke’s forearm and elbow where he had used it to cushion a fall against a patch of gravel in the dirt.  Juugo’s hands make their way there and so does his touch.  the larger nin has to shift to the side so he can reach it and as he does he enters Sasuke’s peripheral vision. Even with his gaze unfocused Sasuke can see the shadow of Juugo now so he closes his eyes. Juugo spreads some ointment, still cold but getting warmer onto the scrape.  The sting is enough of a distraction, it burns awfully. Sasuke draws in a controlled breath through his nose, holding it before exhaling slowly.  The sharp pain feels like it’s reaching his bones. He doesn’t notice when Juugo suddenly stills. He does notice, unwillingly so, when calloused fingers brush over his forearm down to his wrist.  There is no ointment this time.  He knows because the touch is warm. Juugo’s hand stills and because of the sudden stillness Sasuke opens his eyes.  Everything is in focus now.  He’s never been able to open his eyes to a blur when they weren’t fogged with tears or blood. Juugo is looking at Sasuke’s forearm, examining the pale skin that’s littered with hundreds of tiny scars like stars thrown carelessly into a polluted night sky.  The scars are burn marks.  Left by thousands of embers blown back by the wind from hundreds of jutsu cast.  Some in practice, most in desperation to live. Sasuke shifts to take his arm back.  He doesn’t want it to be looked at, not by anyone who knows more of him than just his name.  He had worn the scars openly when he was a child in front of people who didn’t know him.  He’d thought they made him look strong, that they were evidence of the blood that ran through his veins.  He knows better now. Juugo’s grip isn’t loose enough for him to easily pull away. The large nin runs his thumb over and over across a particularly large mark inches above Sasuke’s wrist.  It’s one of the largest ones. 

When he’d shown up to class with it untreated, still raw and burning from the night before, a classmate who would never make it to Genin had acted like he’d come back from battle.  He had been so proud that day. The scar is smaller than the pad of Juugo’s thumb. Sasuke is suddenly conscious of the fact that he’s stripped to the waist, shirt on the floor next to him, and how exposed it makes him. He had willingly let Juugo remove the garment.  Had let the man unguard him without a second thought, knowing it was necessary to give Juugo access to the wounds that needed attention. He had prepared himself for that much vulnerability.  He hadn’t thought about what else he had given Juugo access to. “Sasuke…” Juugo hesitates.  Sasuke wants to close his eyes again but he knows he can’t block out sound with darkness.  

He keeps his eyes open, and because there’s nothing to look at he looks at the contrast of Juugo’s tanned skin pressed against his pale wrist. There’s a scar on the back of Juugo’s hand, Sasuke notices for the first time, starting where his thumb joins his palm and ending a few centimeters above the back of his wrist.  It must have been a deep cut because even healed it’s a shallow trench.   It’s much larger than any of the scars scattered across his own arms up to his elbows and probably holds infinitely more meaning and yet Juugo is examining him and his scars as if he’s the one that means something. As if his scars are from something deeper than childhood stupidity.

“Sasuke…”

There’s a question in the syllables Juugo is speaking that sound like his name.

Sasuke wishes he understood what it was.

He glances up at Juugo, searching for a clue in the other man’s face.  There’s nothing. “Is this from fireball jutsu?”  Juugo’s question is softer than his hands were on Sasuke’s skin minutes earlier. Sasuke feels it then.  The sharp pang of shame.  It’s not from fireball jutsu, he thinks bitterly.  It’s from a child who knew nothing but had been trying to be a man. He pulls his arm back, this time with enough force that Juugo has to let go. He doesn’t want Juugo examining him if it means examining his past too. 

“I’m sorry” Juugo whispers.  There’s a crack in his voice. It surprises Sasuke so he looks up at him. He wishes he hadn’t. Juugo is watching him carefully.  His eyes look so sad.  Sasuke hates that he can’t understand what Juugo is even sorry for.

He shakes his head. “I used to not wear coverings on my arms” He explains simply. 

He doesn’t tell Juugo that it’s because he didn’t know he was supposed to.  That having burn marks was the sign of an amateur, proof that he was an orphan who would never know enough about his family to ever truly belong. That each scar meant he had learned to make fire before he learned to protect himself from it.

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

Narusasu (occasional sasunaru), hashimada and kakaobi are my top favorites at the moment! I also like kakasaku, shiita, juusasu, kakagai, itasaku and narugaa <3 

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

Kakasaku actually – I didn’t ship it at first, but after reading some and meeting fans, I got convinced! 

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will.

Sasusaku. Always. Forever. The only ship in Naruto that I actually hate. 

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

… I don’t think I have one atm 

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)?

Manga and anime I think 

I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?

Not tumblr specifically, but sasunaru fandom has really soured the dynamic for me 

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

Sasuke, Itachi and Naruto <3

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you merely dislike. Characters that you absolutely loathe with the fire of ten thousand suns are exempt, as there is no point in giving yourself an aneurysm over a character that you hate.)

Sai isn’t my favorite, but I really like his character development and how he does form relationships! And he’s so damn cute with Ino 

M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.

Naruto 😭

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

Less discourse, nicer people and just… sharing the love to the thing 

O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?

I don’t listen to music that much that I can answer to this question lmao 

Q - A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.

Final Fantasy VII. I was too disappointed with the remake, so I just… fell out of love. There’s a chance I might return at some point, but it’s a big if 

R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?

The friendship between Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto! <3 

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

Sasuke is sensitive to touch and his Sharingan activates when he’s emotional (I have a lot of others but do I remember them rn? NOPE lmao)

V - Which character do you relate to most?

Probably Naruto, Sasuke or Sakura 

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?

Kuroko’s Basketball and video games 

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! (Prompts optional but encouraged.)

I’ve loved Naruto since 2007 – I was 17 at the time. The fact that the fandom is still thriving now, when I’m 33, fills me with joy <3

[kishimotomasashi]

well in that case........Juugo? tyty

Send me a character and I'll answer these!!

Yes!!! Juugo, my friend Juugo.

1: sexuality headcanon

Every member of Taka is bisexual. To me.

2: otp

JuuSasu but I also have a soft spot for KimiJuu

3: brotp

The potential for a Juugo & Karin proper friendship is IMMENSE... like they have the same interesting potential in a new, fulfilling, sympathetic relationship that I think Suigetsu and Sasuke have, because of them similarities in holding on to their devotion to one person bc it's the one, entirely personal and meaningful choice they get to have in a world that's treated them both so cruelly since when they were young... I have a lot of thoughts on it that I won't go into detail in here bc I don't wanna make this ask meme too long

4: notp

I haven't seen any Juugo ship I didn't really like. The advantages of liking an unpopular character, I guess 🥲

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

I have a long elaborate headcanon on his clan's backstory, in which they were a nomadic, peaceful one but due to their lifestyle they were in frequent danger of being collateral damage to shinobi battles, and so to defend themselves they stole the Sage Transformation power from the Ryuichi Cave without properly training it (since they weren't originally shinobi, anyways).

Ofc since they couldn't control the power they first started out as literally berserk monsters and so ended up being targeted by shinobi to be eliminated since they were viewed as incredibly dangerous. Then, slowly throughout the years, they trained themselves to be able to control that power so they wouldn't end up eating themselves from the inside out. The monstrous association from outsiders remained with them, though, and they were frequently targeted to be murdered during the Great Shinobi Wars.

Juugo has difficulty controlling his power because it awakened long after he'd lost most of his immediate family, and at a time where so little members of his clan remained that a rare amount of people recognized his kekkei genkai, hence him getting the "Bipolar Juugo" nickname.

6: favorite line from this character

This is literally my Team Taka tag like... 🥺❤️

7: one way in which I relate to this character

I like to be the quiet one in friend groups who's always looking around and not necessarily always participating in the conversation, personally

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

Nothing. He is perfect.

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

Juugo has genuinely done nothing wrong ever in his life and I like him so much

[shrekrekrek]

gay sasuke icons, like or rb if you use

[hellbubu]

Team Taka will use any excuse to get into Sasuke's bed (fear of thunder, Sasuke having the thickest blanket, etc.). But not for sexual things. Just to cuddle. After a while they stop making excuses and climb onto Sasuke's bed. Sasuke does not mind, especially since he hadnt recieved much physical affection since before the massacre.

[avenger-hawk]

What Halloween costume would you like to see Sasuke in? Do you think he'd be ''Hmpf! Why would I do such a thing?'' about dressing up? Or tsundere about it? Or determined to be the best dressed while acting like it's no big deal? I think it depends on who he's dressing up with, am I wrong?

Oh a sort of seasonal themed ask~

I pictured the whole scene before replying to this and now I’m regretting that unlike Bleach, Naruto did no Halloween omake or anything like that.

First of all I don’t see Sasuke as someone who pays attention to his look in general, I don’t agree with those AUs/headcanons where he spends time doing his hair and wearing cool clothes because to me he is very uninterested in his appearance and oblivious to others being attracted to him, and he chooses simple practical clothes that look naturally good on him, but he doesn’t notice that anyway. 

Yeah I think it depends on who he’s dressing up with. Like, he doesn’t care about such things so he wouldn’t do anything, if it were for him. But if he gets dragged it’s different. I don’t see him acting tsundere, that’s more like Karin who goes from cold to raging hot in a second. But he’d definitely be like “Tch. Why would I do such thing?” and then Naruto, Team 7 and/or Team Taka (the best team~) would yell at him and pester him with all the reasons to dress up and he would accept just to make them shut up. I don’t think he’d want to compete to have the best costume ever. But I find cute and funny when he accepts Naruto or Suigetsu’s challenges.

Still I can’t see him being too much into clothing of any kind, so I think he’d fit in the group theme, because he wouldn’t want to think about it too much so having someone prepare the costumes for him as well would be fine, and because he’d just do it for his friends anyway. 

For example Team Taka might try classic Halloween horror themed costumes like Vampire Sasuke, Werewolf Juugo, Witch Karin and Mummy Suigetsu. thinking about it Team Taka guys are all kinda loosely clothed at times.

Or Itachi would take Sasuke with him at some party with his older friends and he’d choose a costume for him, like classic vampires that is very often associated to Uchiha clan? Or like the fanarts I reblogged, vampire Itachi and werewolf Sasuke so he could have Sasuke wear a collar and less clothes?

Accepting what his friends want him to wear is risky at times: it might lead to him getting the short stick, so to speak, and having to wear the most revealing and uncomfortable costume either because Karin or S*kura (I’m imagining her as part of Team 7, *that* ship is not allowed in here) would take advantage of the situation, or because his male friends would see this as him “losing a bet”. Like, mummy, with lots of tightly fit bandages and almost no clothes on, kinda like that fanart I reblogged (but for that one I headcanoned that he decided for mummy by himself because he had nothing else hahah). 

Or, in case they don’t choose horror themed costumes I think that Naruto (or Suigetsu) would definitely choose the flashiest and more “dominating” costume for himself because he’s that kind of guy, he’d have to get the “subordinate” counterpart, bsdm-ish gear, or slave-like costumes in “emperor and slave” sort of stuff. I kinda forgot what costumes do exist but you got the idea.

Also I forgot the basic vampire Sasuke and werewolf Naruto, cold Sasuke, feral Naruto, it’s kinda stereotypical and cute. 

[justsasuke]

Take snuggling head cannons! What's their snuggling/cuddling habits and who is the best?

Ok here are my thoughts. Suigetsu hates snuggling or cuddling of any sort. He's not really a "touchy-feely" person and being hugged or held for long periods of time makes him feel a little claustrophobic. He needs to be able to move freely at all times and "prefers to have personal space" That being said, he has absolutely no sense of what personal space actually is so he's always touching, patting, tapping, bumping shoulders with, and draping himself across his friends (read that: Sasuke) at all times. No one else on the team is quite sure where the line is, but Sugietsu is a self-proclaimed "non-cuddler".

Sasuke is a finicky snuggler/cuddler. He's OK with being snuggled but only if he's awake (don't touch him in his sleep unless you're Juugo he hates it), and he likes to be cuddled except when he doesn't. He was a huge cuddler/snuggler as a child but after being traumatized that changed. Sometimes he needs distance to process things and sometimes he wants to be held but isn't the best at noticing that in himself much less communicating that need to the people around him. So far the only person who is close to figuring out which one it is when is Juugo. He is a naturally physically expressive person though, so the more he heals and the more comfortable he becomes with the team the more he'll open up and starts touching, sitting closer to, and being in close proximity with them. When he finally gets together with Juugo an S.O. he becomes way more touchy feely but only with them. He'll always be somewhat of a cat.

Karin is also a finicky cuddler (this is going to be a trend for all of them because TraumaTM) but out of all of them she gives the best hugs. She will wrap her arms around you like she means it, putting her whole soul into it and always stays for the exact amount of time you need. For that reason she wins as the best cuddler. When she holds you, you will feel safe and you will want to stay there forever. Also if you're in close proximity when she's asleep she will grab you and use you as a body pillow so be warned.

Juugo's relationship to touching people is....complicated. He's a naturally caring and affectionate person and he's so tender with the things and people he loves but he's also scared of his hands and what destruction they can cause so he's hesitant to touch anyone much less hold them in anyway. He also worries about people getting too close to him so he avoids being held/cuddled/snuggled too. Not because he doesn't want it (he does, he really does) but because he's afraid of hurting them. After Sasuke comes around and he feels more secure he starts opening up to touches. When he's stressed or sad or after a fit he tends to curl in on himself and that's the best time to give him some tlc. He would never ask for it (because again, he's so worried about hurting people) but really appreciates it. The first time Sasuke anyone held him after a fit he cried. He's a hesitant cuddler but when he does cuddle he's so large and warm and extremely comforting to be around.

[justsasuke]

I think I went for a while with the headcanon that Juugo and Sasuke would be big into PDA (pretty sure you can find the evidence waaayyyy back in my archives) which quite frankly is so embarrassing because I have since evolved and my mind has changed. Here are my new thoughts: I think they're in each others' space a lot, meaning they tend to stand/walk/sit etc. very close to each other. And they may sometimes hold hands in public--though more like prolonged brushing of the fingers. but that's really it. I really like the idea that the way you tell they're together isn't rooted in physical couple-y contact, but in the way they walk close together with Juugo slightly behind Sasuke, the glances Sasuke gives Juugo before he makes a decision about something, the eye contact. the way they always have quiet words to exchange with each other...little things like that. They may not really touch (or at least if they do it's something that could be passed off as normal, like a hand rested on the shoulder as one of them passes etc. etc.) but anyone can tell they're connected.

[justsasuke]

another randon hc I've been thinking about lately: on Sasuke's "redemption" journey, he started writing to express himself while alone. Later on, it resulted in beautiful poetry about Juugo while he sorted out his thoughts and feelings that he guards with his life out of fear of someone finding them.

Imagine Sasuke being all alone on his journey and then finding comfort in getting his thoughts out of his head and onto paper so he could take time to reflect on them later and process it. Maybe he starts with stream of consciousness; just writing whatever comes to mind about his past, his future, his feelings-- anything. and then one day he starts noticing that everything he's writing about is how he feels about Juugo. So he stops for a bit because it scares him. He's never had feelings like this, or if he has he never had the time or space to think about it, and now that he's seeing them in front of him he feels more than a little overwhelmed because what is he supposed to do with these feelings? But writing is the only way to get it out of his system so he starts again, doing his best not to sensor himself and just let it all out. It takes a little while for him to get comfortable with this level of intimacy with his feelings. After all, how he feels is foreign to himself too. But he gradually loosens up and the result is a small notebook overflowing with pages on how he feels about a very particular nin.

[justsasuke]

Could I ask for some Taka new years headcanons? Like quiet or rowdy night? Do they drink? Play games? Cook? Do Juugo and Sasuke sneak away to watch the fireworks alone? Do they stay up or is someone a party pooper with the “9pm bedtime” mentality?

yes absolutely!! I love this. I'm imagining this to be set in Japan or possibly even an alternate canon where things went how they should've

The Uchiha celebrate New Years very traditionally, with mochi making, a trip to the buddhist temple at midnight, etc. etc. and when Sasuke was younger that's what he did (insert Weird Uncle Madara trying to get him drunk at the age of 12) His friends were invited ofc. if they had no where else to go, but since New Year is a very family-centered holiday they were usually with their own families.

but after Sasuke moves away--I'm imagining the Uchiha estate is more in the country and he went to a city for a job or school? idk--he gets together with his friends + S.O. (read that Juugo)

They all gather at Juugo's apartment because it's the biggest (read that cleanest) and most conveniently located.

Suigetsu always volunteers to bring the beer but he only buys Sapporo beer even though he knows Sasuke prefers Kirin. This almost led to a fight but thankfully Juugo had a pack of Kirin beer in his fridge. (which, side JuuSasu note but I picked Kirin beer as Sasuke's favorite for the name but it also happens to pair well with yakiniku, and as we all know one of Juugo's favorite foods is beef. And I just think it's cute how it matches)

They spend most of New Years eve cooking and talking and chilling, and then when evening comes they eat Toshikoshi Soba (it's traditional in Japan), and mochi that was cooked a little too long because they got distracted.

On every other night of the year Karin likes to go to bed at 10 p.m., but on new years eve she's the most insistent that they stay up and go to the nearest temple to watch the bell ring all 108 times and ring in the New Year. (fireworks aren't really a thing on New Years, people always visit the temples/shrines instead)

When it's getting close to midnight they bundle up--because it's definitely cold--and make their way to the nearest shrine.

I imagine that it's snowing softly and their footsteps are crunching just a little bit and they walk in relative silence because they're soaking in the stillness of the world around them, and Juugo and Sasuke are walking so close their shoulders are bumping and when they do speak to each other it's in soft undertones.

When they reach the temple it's crowded and Juugo and Sasuke end up holding hands so they don't lose each other in the crowd (mostly Juugo losing Sasuke bc let's be real, Juugo is high visibility haha)

After they ring in the new year they go back to Juugo's apartment and pass out all over the living room and sleep for a few hours.

Suigetsu and Karin end up sharing the space under the kotatsu because Juugo settled on the couch and Sasuke fell asleep on top of him.

At 4 a.m. they get up to go see the first sunrise of the year and pile into Juugo's car. Juugo already packed breakfast and drinks, and Karin makes sure to bring blankets to make it cozy, and Suigetsu was going to get the front seat but had to go to the bathroom last minute so Sasuke takes it instead even though he's a crappy navigator and still half asleep. (he ends up dozing again during the drive)

They make it to the mountain just outside the city limits and drive up to the viewpoint and then sit and wait for the first rays of orange light and everything is perfect.

.. .. .. That's all I have for tonight. I had so much fun putting this together and sitting in some nostalgia. I hope you enjoyed it too. If you have any additional thoughts to expand this I'd love to hear them!

I hope you had a happy New Years eve and New Year day~

see you

[justsasuke]

Idk if I just missed it going through your juusasu tag, but do you have a headcanon on how they would get together in more of a non AU universe?

If by non AU you mean canon-ish/adjacent (bc really what is canon after the five Kage summit🤷🤷) then I haven't written anything besides a brief mention in a post that I can't find right now. I only have some vague outlines right now because I haven't been thinking about JuuSasu in canon-ish lately but here they are anyway:

I really hope you're talking about canon-ish when you say non AU universe because otherwise this is going to be super awkward....

I imagine it happens as the slowest, most agonizing slow burn ever. Not because it takes that long for either of them to actually fall in love, but because it takes so long for either of them to be able to see it for what it is or do anything with it. I mean they're both traumatized shinobi who have no idea about any type of normal experiences because they never had the time or chance for normal things.

For Juugo he's lived the entirety of his life with little to no human contact and no real references to understand his day-to-day experience by, let alone anything as complex and terrifying as falling in love. (i.e. he doesn't know what normal looks like because he's never seen it, so he's definitely not going to recognize romantic feelings for what they are at first). So when he starts feeling things for Sasuke he assumes that it's because Sasuke is the one making it possible for him to even be in the outside world. It couldn't possibly be love, because he doesn't know what that is.

For Sasuke you would think he'd catch on earlier because he's the kind of person where his actions follow his feelings so closely, but because he's so focused on what it is he has to do he ends up not noticing his feelings. Especially romantic feelings.

(I also headcanon that Sasuke doesn't really get attracted to anyone unless he has a close emotional attachment first so there's that)

For both of them the actions happen before the words do. They'll start revolving around each other first, and as time goes on the space gets smaller and smaller until they're together all the time. They spend most of their travels walking side by side, start seeking each others' company, they'll have deep conversations with each other in the middle of the night when one of them is on watch and the other can't sleep, and at some point touch between them has become normal. It's all casual--a brush of knuckles here, a touch of shoulders there--and neither of them really register that it's even happening. (Suigetsu definitely registers though, because Sasuke doesn't like anyone touching him and yet there Juugo is with his hand on Sasuke's thigh as he's leaning in to see something that Sasuke reading)

I think they actually "get together" after the war is over--when the Uchiha honor has been restored and Sasuke is free to just be without any outside demands. But even then it would only be a continuation of what they had going on before because they kind of were together the whole time they just maybe didn't have the words for it.

(I am now imagining a vague scenario when they first tell each other 'I love you' though and excuse me while I lay on the floor and cry)

As for specific events and how they went down...I'm probably going to make a longer list of more detailed/event based headcanons set in canon-ish because as I was writing this I'm starting to imagine a ton of little things here and there that definitely went down and realized.

Thanks for the message, and for getting me to think about JuuSasu in canon-ish again haha. You'll be hearing more on this topic later. (I may or may not have half written an essay in my attempt to answer 👀👀)

peace

[justsasuke]

It's Juugo's birthday so here are some random and soft Juugo headcanons that live in my head. (read with JuuSasu undertones because that's how I wrote them mwahah)

Juugo loves animals, and in one universe adopted a small Shiba inu from the streets after it followed him home in the rain (he named it Pon and it loves Sasuke the most besides Juugo)

He speaks at least 2 languages and is trying to learn a third because he values communicating with people

He also loves house plants and will speak softly to the dog and his plants as he takes care of them (maybe even in whatever language he's trying to learn at the time)

On cold evenings he likes sit on the couch with a mug of hot tea on hand and read

His favorite tea is chamomile

His favorite type of books are biographies (boring, according to Suigetsu who probably also reads biographies but of different people) or historical fiction (which Sasuke will sometimes steal and skim through just to find out what Juugo is reading)

His love language is words of affirmation or gift giving (I can't decide which one)

That being said he's really cuddly during naps/sleep time and likes to hold hands

He is definitely a morning person and likes taking walks when it's not quite bright outside and there are not many other people on the streets

He pays a lot of attention to other people's needs and will be the first to offer a helping hand to the grandma down the street.

He's a great listener, and will listen to any of his friends' complaints without passing judgement or giving unsolicited advice (except to his closest friends or to Sasuke where he will give his opinion even if they may hate it at first.)

He boxes for exercise and to unwind after a stressful week

There is one AU where he's a chef in a small, fancy restaurant

I have this one AU idea where he's a layout designer/editor for a high end fashion magazine (Karin is a PR person in the same company and Suigetsu is a videographer. Sasuke is a photographer but works for a sub contracted company so he's only there sometimes...yes I realize this sounds like the setup of a workplace romance AU which...)

He loves camping and soaking in nature, and has a van that he got from a relative and renovated to be a camping car. He'll take his friends out to camp and they'll spend cool autumn nights around a campfire staring at the stars. (this is one of the rare times Sasuke will actually sit in Juugo's lap of his own volition--he usually sits next to him and drapes his legs over Juugo's--because "it's cold")

ok I gotta go now but there may be a part 2 or something vaguely related coming soon because I did not realize I had this much to write haha.

see you around and also Happy Birthday Juugo.

[justsasuke]

JuuSasu pls

4. Who wakes the other one up with kisses?

9. Who makes the coffee (or tea)?

29. Who is the better cook?

49. Who is the driver/ Who is the passenger?

Heyo~ sorry it took so long to answer these but here they are. Thank you for sending them in!! I had loads of fun answering them :)

#4 Who wakes the other one up with kisses?

Sasuke really hates getting woken up abruptly since he's a light sleeper and easily disturbed, so Juugo was never sure how to wake him up without bothering him...and then he discovered that if he lays right next to Sasuke and gives him the softest little kisses (and maybe wraps him in a warm hug) it'll wake Sasuke up in the best mood possible.

#9 Who makes the coffee (or tea)?

In the morning they drink coffee--Juugo takes his with a little milk or cream, and Sasuke takes his straight black. Juugo is the one that cooks breakfast, so it has become Sasuke's job to start the coffee pot. (He makes a mean brew). In the evenings they drink tea--And it's Juugo who starts the water and pulls out the tea snacks while Sasuke is cleaning up the dishes from dinner.

#29 Who is the better cook?

It's not that Sasuke can't cook, it's just that he doesn't. He's never really had to besides what little fish grilling he had to do to survive on missions when he was genin. His mother (and Itachi would help too) did all the cooking when he was little, and when they were all gone...well, cooking was too painful. Too much of a reminder of his mom and the family he lost so he would go to the corner store instead and buy onigiri. Then there was the time he spent with Orochimaru, and Sasuke was sure there would be a henchman specifically for cooking but no, his (and Orochimaru's) meals were all prepared by Kabuto. Kabuto was not a good cook. At least not in the sense of his food bringing any sort of joy. It served its purpose, it tasted fine, but there was no warmth or feeling. It was nothing like the food his mother cooked. It was nothing like the food Juugo cooks now. Sasuke hadn't expected Juugo to enjoy cooking as much as he does--he hadn't expected a lot of things from Juugo, actually--but the tall nin had taken to it naturally, spending his free time browsing recipe books and searching for herbs to try. Juugo's cooking was full of warmth, full of feeling, and it reminded Sasuke of home.

#49 Who is the driver / who is the passenger? I think they switch off. I always imagined Sasuke to do better in/prefer short distance drives while Juugo is a 'put some chill music on and drive for hours' kind of guy. (This works really well when they're traveling because Sasuke will navi and Juugo will drive. Until Sasuke falls asleep that is and Juugo ends up doing both hehe)

Just some more Sasuke and Juugo! domestic things (pure fluff I tell you)

Late night runs to the nearest food truck or yatai to get a snack because they were up late talking and they’re both hungry again. (if it’s in the USA it’s a taco food truck)

Sasuke always goes for whatever has rice bc he runs on carbs and tomatoes.  Juugo always goes for the beef.

There’s a mystery show they watch every Thursday night with Karin and Suigetsu.  This always involves kirin beer (Sasuke insists it tastes the best though he never gets his own can.  Instead he steals from splits with Juugo.  Not because his alcohol tolerance is low but because he always ends up drinking from Juugo’s can anyway), and of course snacks.

“Dude, you can have your own beer you know” Suigetsu leaned over and waved a tall can in front of Sasuke’s face “there’s plenty”.   “I already have one” Sasuke replied, pushing his friend out of his face.  but the beer in his hand had been in Juugo’s a minute ago and would be again as soon as the taller male reached for it

After the show they sit around with a dim light on and talk about the latest episode and where it’s going to

this leads to a lot of debates and conspiracy theories while Karin and Suigetsu are huddled under the kotatsu and Juugo is holding Sasuke in his lap like he’s some sort of blanket.

(It’s very hard to have a proper discussion when your boyfriend is holding you like a giant plushie, but Sasuke is OK with it)

When someone says something funny Juugo laughs into Sasuke’s neck and hugs him tighter, which makes Sasuke squirm because “dammit Juugo that tickles”

These nights usually end up in sleepovers because no one wants to go home and besides, it’s super late now.

(Suigetsu is a blanket thief but only because he rolls around so much)

Juugo is always the first one to wake up and starts making breakfast after showering

Sasuke gets up second but ends up hanging out in the kitchen (hair still a mess, dressed in a stolen sweatshirt) sitting on one of the counters and stealing kisses from Juugo.

they almost burnt the toast once because of this

TBC?

kakasasu hcs. im not original. they dont have to be shippy- uh since you have like a billion of them tho maybe juugo and sasuke then?

You underestimate my ability to come up with the dumbest headcanons, dear.

I wasn't sure if you meant Juugo and Sasuke separately or together so I did some JuuSasu headcanons. Feel free to send another ask asking for them separately if you meant it like that.

KakaSasu

Out of the two of them, Sasuke's the only one with a fashion sense. Whenever there's an event and Sasuke accompanies Kakashi, he's the one that looks better.

Sasuke has bought Kakashi clothes he thinks would fit the man. It takes forever to convince him to wear them, though.

Sasuke had beta-ed at least one of Kakashi's fics. It had all started when the older man told he he took inspiration from their relationship. Sasuke never expected Kakashi to write pure fluff.

Kakashi has come home (more than once) to his ninken cuddling Sasuke on the couch. He thinks Sasuke doesn't know he takes a picture or two because he thinks it's the cutest thing ever.

Most people think that because Kakashi reads Icha Icha in public, he's the one with the wilder fantasies. They're wrong. If they knew the kind of things Sasuke likes and wants Kakashi to do.

JuuSasu

They meditate together when they can. They look for a place where Karin and Suigetsu won't bother them, preferably somewhere near nature.

Juugo helps Sasuke tend and groom his hawks. They immediately took a liking to him.

Sasuke loves cuddling him because he's warm. Juugo doesn't get up until Sasuke wakes up, even if his legs all asleep.

Juugo is extremely gentle with Sasuke. Treats him like he's something precious and Sasuke absolutely loves him.

Sasuke also loves the fact that, to Juugo, he weighs absolutely nothing. He could just grab him as though he's just a life sized doll and Sasuke secretly loves it.
