[ Housamotober ] - Day 8 - Outlaws

[justlarkin]

Of course most of the Outlaws are usually friendly and care about MC to some degree, but there's always the understanding that they'll put their people before MC. Now we get to have the full Outlaw treatment.

Tetsuox and Shino jumping at the chance to join MC in Roppongi is to be expected since they're MC Defenders, but even Ellie was demanding to go too to make sure MC was safe. Too bad she had to stay back and manage things in Kabukicho.

They all really care about their Kabukicho Family, dudes 👐❤

Storyline:When a former Outlaws gang leader meeting with the most dangerous boy, leading to becoming five teenager babysitter.

"Thank you, please come again!" You smile at the last customer as you bow your head down slightly, watching them walk out of the automatic door as soon the door close the smile on your face quickly disappears and you let out a heavy sigh. "Damn, my face gets numb from smiling all day.." You mutter out, rubbing both of your cheeks, trying to relax your facial muscle after a long day. You wonder why you bother to open a cafe when you hate doing human interaction, but you live in a cruel world that needs money to survive.

"Gosh, please no more customers.." And it seems that your luck betrays you as you see four middle schoolers entering your shop, "Fuck." You mutter under your breath before you put back your smile. "Welcome to Night Cafe, what can I get for your four?" You asked.

The tallest of the group looks at the menu behind you while two of them scan the menu on top of the counter, they then whisper to each other discussing what to buy. 'God, hurry up..' You then notice that the shorter of the group staring at you, intensely, not paying any attention to what his friends saying. Being the awkward person you are, you give him a nervous smile before slowly averting your eyes away wondering if there is something on your face, you don't think you snack on any cream-filled bun, yet. "Aah! I know you!" The boy suddenly exclaims, rudely pointing his finger at you, this cause you and his friends to look at him confusedly.

"The rampaging orge of outlaws!!" 

Your eyes widen in surprise before you quickly recover your composure. " O-orge? I don't...I think you get the wrong person..." You laugh awkwardly, rubbing your neck through your turtleneck sweater. "Eh? But.. I don't..you look exactly like them just a bit older." You sweat nervously as the boy keeps staring at you, "A rampaging orge of outlaws? That some exaggerate nickname." One of the boys laughs, leaning his elbow on the shorter boy's shoulder, this causes him to huff in annoyance. "I'm not! And it's not exaggerated! They earn that name rightfully! Listen, Rampaging Orge Of Outlaws is the nickname given to the leader of the big gang in 1997, despite being twelve years old they manage to get the title by fighting non-stop like an orge and defeating so many other gangs at such young age! They even neck to neck with the first generation of Black Dragons! I heard they fight with Wakasa Imaushi, the living legend, and won!!" 

You sweat drop by this wondering if this kid is some kind of stalker at how much he knew about this. "Actually, what are outlaws? I never heard of this gang." The tallest boy asks his over-excited friend, " What is Outlaws? The Outlaws, known in full as the Kabukicho Outlaws, is a gang located in Kabukicho, Shinjuku Ward. The Outlaws practice a policy of isolationism, avoiding involvement with other gangs while punishing anyone who intrudes on their territory uninvited. While they may act very territorial, they are also very accepting of anyone who seeks asylum after being outcast from wherever they had come from, no matter what their past or history might have been. As long as they follow the ways of the Outlaws, they will be accepted into the gang."

"Wait a damn minute! How much did you know about my gang?!" You slam your fist on the counter before you realize what you just said. The four looks at you with wide eyes before the short one leans toward you excitedly, " I knew it!! You are the Lord Of Night!! That was the other nickname given to you in 1999, a gang that conquered the night!" You cover your face at your slip-up, sighing tiredly as you look back at the boys.

"Fine...Yes, I'm the leader of Outlaws." You lower your sweater to reveal the tattoo on your neck, just underneath your chin, it's a small face of an angry orge with a large horn that almost resembles a halo. " The Rampage Orge Of Outlaws, but seriously, I am impressed that anyone who knows about the gang since it already disband in 2002. Name's [name], what yours?" You lean against the counter smirking slightly.

"I'm Yamagishi Kazushi!" The one who you thought a stalker introduce himself first before the other follow suit, "So Kazushi, Akkun, Takuya, and Makoto. So you telling me you are part of some gang called Toman, and the reason why this kid knows about me is because you accidentally found out about my gang while searching about Black Dragons. Sound fair enough, my gang had a big history with Black Dragons." You lean your chin on your palm, " Why make you decide to disband Outlaws?" Takuya suddenly asked.

"Why? Well, first: Outlaws never actually get disbanded we just changed. Do you know a host club in Kabuchiko called Midnight Emperor? That is the base of Outlaws, we are not a delinquent gang anymore but instead...well, a yakuza gang now. I leave all of the work to my second-in-command while I'm here, gathering information." You explained.

"Why do I bother telling you all this? Forgot about what I told you, kids. It's for your good. Now, what do you want?" You shrug your shoulders, the four look at each other before nodding their head, " We want you to teach us how to fight!!" You deadpanned.

What did you just get yourself into?

HOUSAMOTOBER 2023 8-Kabukicho Outlaws everybody's favorite Kresnik!

[kairunatic]

Gurl you're the only one who sees MC as an enemy literally all the other Outlaws are ok with MC wondering around Kabukicho

Huh? So he's just worried about his Goons finding out?

I just don't get you something lmao

[emichii-the-mc]

As the Queen of Kabukicho, Ellie is as strong as she is beautiful, her vampiric powers helping towards both traits. And even though she is the guild master of the Outlaws, she often leaves the hard work to the others.

[dorokora]

The Outlaws @ The Missionaries whenever one of them shows up at Kabukicho.

[neapocream]

Me Rating Housamo Guilds base on if I would enjoy being in there or not.

Shinjuku Summoners: 4/5

The most normal but mostly most enjoyable in my opinion. It basing an after school club with people I would like to hang out with.

Members with different past come together and just hang out as friends.

Ikebukuro Berserkers: 2/5

I would not survive this guild. Absolutely fucking not.

I’m not a fighter unless I have to defend myself and if you put me in a ring to fight someone I’m gonna use every dirty trick in the book to win.

I’m not a fighter, I’ll soon pop a cap in someone ass before I raise my hand.

Plus you only seem to get treated well in you’re are able to win few matches. The only time I will fight if I had MC power, but if I don’t I raising my white flag.

Aoyama Missionaries: 2.5/5

Honestly, the main problem are the angels in the guild. During the chapter 4 these angels was disrespectful to so many including their own guild master.

They are very judging and would treat those with bad background very differently. And they quick to jump Kengo after his fight with Zabaniyya.

And the only reason they been acting out of pocket because Arsalan let himself get kidnapped which honestly piss me off back then but still!

The only people I would even bother to hang out with is Maria, Jacob, Gabriel, Azazel and Choji. That it.

Roppongi Tycoons: 1/5

I would not survive a SINGLE day with them. Probably not even a full 24 hour. I’m not rich and I’m gonna be treated like a slave there.

Now I can hold myself back from saying anything, but if they even think of going low then I’ll go lower. I’ll bring up Ophion’s dead wife and shit.

Probably end up in a hospital bed though…

Kabukicho Outlaws: 5/5

Despite their names and how territorial they are, they accept thought who seek a place and doesn’t judge anyone with terrible background.

I honestly like all of them, especially Tetsuya. They treat others like family and I think that sweet.

Plus they don’t bother getting involved with others guilds bullshit and honestly same.

Hongo Wisemen: -/5

I honestly don’t know anything about this guild to judge what it will be like. I honestly know that we fought Shuichi and his fan girls with Shiro when we were in his turf, but that all I can recalled.

So no points

[averagelonelypotato]

Do you think shinsengumi wouldve had space to appear in the kintama and four devas arc?

in my opinion I don't think the shinsengumi would of had the right to be placed in the four devas arc because that arc is mainly focused on kabukicho, the people who live there and it's four devas. The four devas run their city full of outlaws and already have their own yakuza who "maintain order" so I don't think the shinsengumi would of fit in that arc because they would of interfered in business that wasn't their own. So honestly no they wouldn't of had space to appear sadly

But I do think if they at least added Hijikata, Sougo, Yamazki and Kondou in the kintama arc it would of been interesting!!!

I know Kintoki would of ate mayo to gain hijikata's loyalty, plus Hijikata would of definitely still got of on the wrong foot "meeting" gintoki for the "first time" again.

but yeah the I think the shinsengumi would've had the space to appear in the kintama arc because I know they would be amazing in the fight against kintoki because Gintoki has already helped each of them out, the bond they have with him would of been one they wouldn't of hesitated to fight for :)

[sunset-unbound]

settling for now on Mango (MC1), Lemon (MC2), Guava (MC3), Cherry (MC4) and Persimmon (MC5). for the sake of this ill pretend it makes sense for all 5 to coexist in the plot

a little ramble on what i think they're like and who they are closest to under the cut

btw im giving them all different pronouns cuz i do what i want and gender is not inherently tied to the body type u pick.

Mango (they/it) comes across as intimidating to strangers due to how quiet and focused they get – but once they start talking you realize they're very energetic and no-filter. Mango's closer with the Hakkenshi, folks at Ueno academy and the Summoners as a whole. They relate to therians a lot, and especially Moritaka's disconnect between what he thinks and feels. Mango's also pretty artsy and quite competent in battle strategy.

Lemon (she/her) is the actually intimidating one. She's closer with Kengo and the Kabukicho Outlaws, generally prefers the people who don't care too much about sticking to social convention. It's a messy world! and you gotta get your hands dirty too. Lemon's kept close to Arc after, well, y'know what happened to the Genociders. She was really affected by losing them, and part of her feels like she remembers that familial affection from a past loop more deeply than the others.

Percy (they/them) is kind, clever and competent. They may feel unapproachable, always quiet and looking apathetic. In truth, they're more introspective than anything else. Percy never hesitates to help others and put their foot down to defend someone, but they're never caught acting recklessly. Always quick to catch what's happening and what needs to be done. Naturally, that makes them have an easier time dealing with the types of Shiro and Shuichi. They're not great with groups, but make close friends with few like Ryota and Furufumi.

i have the least thoughts on Cherry (he/she) and Guava (he/him). i know Cherry will be a more outwardly charismatic type, all about his aesthetics and whoring it up. Guava is a more serious one, kinda keeps to himself. Rules follower type guy with a penchant for overthinking and beind hard on himself.

i have this idea in my head of making my own take on all five housamo MCs, and since i named my own (MC1) "Mango" i could give them all fruits for names. so far i have Pomegranate (Pom) for MC2 and Persimmon (Percy) for MC5

[red-steampunk]

Shino,Y'golonac,Ellie and Tetsuox are so freaking clingy.

[ark-barkness]

Quickly reminder: the Outlaws are full of Daddies

[justlarkin]

Tetsuya was one of the original founders of the Kabukicho Outlaws and he has no dreams of leaving Kabukicho like so many others have. In fact, he dreams of dying there. He spends so much time managing the guild and protecting Kabukicho from outsiders that he doesn't bother taking care of himself like eating or sleeping regularly. That's what makes his relationship with MC more interesting.

Tetsuya doesn't care for MC the same way he cares for the Outlaws and the other residents of Kabukicho. He might have some sort of weird frienemies or friends with benefits situation going on, but it's just a factual statement that he doesn't care for them like that. But that's a good thing. Tetsuya doesn't have to stress himself with work or be on the defense when it's just him and MC because they're an outsider he doesn't have to concern himself with. Tetsuya doesn't even bother doing something as simple as eating a proper meal when MC isn't around and decides to prioritize finishing some guild paperwork instead. Tetsuox, Gyobu, and Suzuka actually called in MC to take Tetsuya out because he wouldn't take a break, knowing that they wouldn't be able to help him since they were some of the reasons why he was working like that in the first place.

I like that foundation of Tetsuya and MC's relationship is built on separation in contrast to most characters. It adds a little spice, ya know.

[summonerscenarios]

Hey I hope you're doing well now!! If it's not much I couldn't get this out of my head while I was making my fanfic. How would a scenario with one of the guilds holding a talent show with the MC signing up and perform the song 'In a Moments Time' from Skullgirls would go?? How would the Summoner's and Outlaws react to the songs 'questionable' lyrics?? Have fun!!

Heyya~! Got very sidetracked with this and focused more on the singing aspect than the actual song lmao - but I do hope it’s okay~!

--------------

The Summoners

Shiro’s surprised to see you volunteer for the talent show - when the whole event was first set up it was done so as a means to ease tensions between the outlaws and the Summoners, as the wedge between them at the moment was still apparent even with you there to bridge it. When you confide in him that you’d decided to take a crack at signing up he’s supportive, though you don’t tell him exactly what you’re planning to perform for it, and it isn’t long into the talent show when you disappear from the Summoner’s table disappearing backstage. He wonders what you’re going to do when the music starts up, the tune soft yet lively and Shiro has to admit that the tune is kind of nice to listen to. You take to the stage right before the lyrics kick in, bringing the mic up to your lips and it’s then he realizes what you’re going to be performing. He mulls over whether he’s heard you sing before - if you have he can’t remember when, but those thoughts are soon washed away by the sound of your voice as you sing along with the music. The first two parts of the song sound well enough, and works well with your singing - you’re a lot better than you give yourself credit for, he’ll be sure to tell you as such once you’re finished - but by the third part you can see Shiro’s expression from the audience as his eyebrows raise the moment the word ‘bite’ leaves your lips. He could be interpreting the lyrics wrong, but they do sound somewhat questionable when sung in a slow, soothing croon like they are right now; regardless of the lyrics you at least look like you’re having fun, your hips swaying as your voice gains volume emboldened as the song continues, and honestly he’s just glad to see you enjoying yourself regardless of the song you’re singing.

Kengo’s antsy about the whole talent show idea and you can tell from the way that he’s slumped in the Summoners booth, arms across his chest and feet propped up on the table. He has no idea where you’ve gone, with you having ducked away during the performances and not returned, but he’s about ready to get up and go find you himself by this point. He’s halfway through convincing Toji to come along with him to look for you when the music starts up and the smooth tune filters out from the nearby speakers. All eyes turn to the stage, and seeing you step out onto the platform, microphone in hand, he expects you to make some kind of speech - maybe you were the show’s presenter? Considering how involved you were with the talent show becoming a reality it really isn’t that far of a stretch. However he doesn’t expect you to actually start singing, and the moment you do you can see him physically straighten up in his seat at the sound of your voice. You didn’t tell him you could sing! Much less that you sounded damn good at it too! Sure, Kengo doesn’t fancy himself much of a musician, preferring music with a faster pace, but the jazzy tune fits your voice, and he’s gotta admit that it’s a pretty good song. There’s a whoop and holler from the other tables, cheering you on, and not to be outdone, Kengo joins in, encouraging you a bit too loudly as he keeps getting warnings from Shiro and Toji though your smile grows just a little wider at the sight as you continue to sing. He doesn’t see much of a problem with the lyrics themselves, after all they don’t sound like they’re anything that questionable, so you definitely won’t get any comments from Kengo about it by the time the song concludes; what you will get is a slap on the back from Kengo as soon as you sit down as he asks how long you’ve been singing like that - you’re just full of surprises!

Ryota’s honestly really excited for the show! So much so that while the whole thing was being set up he helped out alongside you putting this whole thing together with some of the other outlaws. The last time you guys were all together in Kabukicho territory things were really tense and it just wasn’t a good time for anyone involved, so he sees this as a chance to start getting to know the outlaws better - even if they’re pretty closed off now, Ryota hopes that this event will at least show them that the Summoner’s come to them with the best intentions, where they can just have fun with events like these. He’d actually thought about signing up for the talent show too, but he didn’t have many ideas on what to actually perform so he relented and decided to just watch the others perform from the Summoner’s table, cheering for every person who’s brave enough to take to the stage and enjoying the different kinds of entertainment. After Hanuman rejoins the table he’s gushing over the tricks that he pulled off when Hanuman exclaims that you’re up next and Ryota turns around in his seat just in time to watch you finish up the testing with your mic, sliding into view through the curtain and taking your position at the center. Right on cue the instrumental kicks up, the beginning notes making for a perfect lead up for you to finish preparing to sing the lyrics; you look nervous but excited, and when you start to sing it’s clear that you gradually gain more confidence as the song progresses. The lyrics, alongside the smooth piano and the tone of your voice makes him flush a little, especially when you spin and wink at the audience for good measure during a particular flush of confidence - you’re definitely enjoying performing way more than you thought you would and it shows. At the applause you flush and quickly slide off of the stage and move back to join your guild members, where you’re greeted by Ryota’s excited applause as he praises you for how amazing that was, and you’ll quickly find your attention pulled into where you learned that song and what other kinds of songs you’ve been learning - this is definitely the start of many karaoke plans in the guild’s future.

Toji didn’t have the experiences with the Outlaws that the other Summoners had (namely due to certain location circumstances), but seeing the Summoner’s getting so excited about the talent show right in the heart of the other’s guild he tries to keep it optimistic. True, things are somewhat tense at first, but with you, Ryota and Hanuman running all over the place pulling people into conversations while things are being set up, it isn’t long before the members start mingling and genuinely conversing with one another. Even he gets pulled into a few conversations with Kabukicho’s members, which goes a lot smoother than he’d first thought they would, but it isn’t long before the show actually starts and he ends up wandering back over to join his group at the guild table. When he had watched you disappear backstage, Toji simply assumes that either you were heading back to talk to the people responsible for the work backstage or to check up on Hanuman, given that the boy had made no attempts to hide his excitement about signing up. That assumption is proven false when Hanuman comes out and finished his performance, hopping down from the stage and skipping back over to the table without a trace of you in sight; when you do show up however it’s your turn to take to the stage, and when you begin shuffling the microphone in your hands, looking over to the speakers and waiting for the music to start Toji realizes that you intend to perform in this show too. You open your mouth and the words flow out in a steady rhythm, more melodic than he’d ever heard from you before and Toji has to admit that he’s stunned. Toji has caught you hum before, when you’d been cleaning and thought no one else was around after school hours, but hearing the full volume of your voice he didn’t think you’d sound so good. He’s taken aback enough that the actual lyrics do not entirely register, but upon watching you sway along to the song he starts paying more attention and as the words sink in he’s very conflicted - to others they may be subtle, but to Toji they’re flustering, and surely you knew what those lyrics were on about too! Normally he’d call you out on such a thing, especially because you’ve played music before with far more ‘questionable’ lyrics, but seeing you sing and slide around the stage he decides to bite his tongue - you look genuinely confident, enjoying yourself as you follow along with the rhythm of the song, and he’s not going to ruin your enjoyment over mere lyrics.

Hanuman had actually signed up for the talent show himself! It’s a chance to have fun and show off some of his coolest tricks that he’s been working on back at the guild, so when the idea of a talent show was first proposed he was excited to jump at the opportunity. Though he didn’t learn that you were planning to sign up too until he was waiting backstage for his turn, excitedly bouncing between backstage and peeking through the curtain to watch the other performers when he spotted you slide out of your seat and sidle backstage during a momentary break. Hanuman greets you excitedly once you dip past the curtain into the waiting area and watches you curiously as you start rummaging around with the equipment looking for the wireless microphone amongst the crates. He doesn’t hesitate to join in on helping you look, asking you questions about what you’re planning on doing for the show and chattering about how exciting this whole event has been so far while you look; eventually he plucks the mic in question out with a triumphant yell that you’re quick to hush in case the others past the curtain end up hearing him. He flashes you a bashful grin at the realization but tosses you the mic right as his turn comes up, and with a thumbs up and wishing you good luck he ducks onto the stage and disappears past the curtain. By the time he’s finished Hanuman hops off of the stage and joins his fellow Summoners at the table, excitedly talking with Ryota right up until he spots your head peeking out from the stage curtain, meeting his gaze and smiling as you sidle out onto the stage. As soon as he hears people start cheering for you Hanuman takes that as his cue to join in on the fun too - going so far as to leap onto the back of the booth so that you can see him rooting for you. The lyrics go right over his head as he’s more focused watching you have fun as you sing and spin around, even going so far as to whistle and holler until he gets pulled back down into the booth right before the song comes to a finish, still grinning and clapping for you as you hop off the stage and go back to join them.

The Outlaws

Tetsuya wasn’t entirely on board with the idea of a talent show to begin with, especially when it was proposed by the Summoners - it took some negotiating and agreeing to have it on Kabukicho’s ground to actually set the whole thing in motion, but for the most part the event sets itself up, with plenty of people surprisingly eager to take part making for little actual work needed to get it set up. By the time everything’s done Tetsuya has to admit everything looks pretty good, and people are in good spirits which always makes things easier - even the most prickly of their members seem to be gradually warming up to having the Summoners around, joining in on conversations as the finishing touches are put up just for aesthetics sake. Tetsuya watches people shuffle around from his booth, keeping an eye on the last few people wandering and eventually finding places to settle down and enjoy the show. Most of the main members are sat with him, With Suzuka keeping an equally keen eye on the progression of the event, and Tetsuox shuffling in his seat as tho itching to get up and move, but there’s a relative peace in the room when the actual show starts and the first performer of the talent show steps onto the stage. Things go smoothly - sure there’s a few kinks here and there, a couple jokes that don’t go over too well, but by Tetsuya’s standards it’s going smoothly. But then the last contestant - it’s one of the Summoners, Tetsuya tries to remember the name. Hanuman? Yeah, Hanuman - jumps off of the stage and leaves the space empty, but not for long. Not even a few moments later someone else steps out onto the platform, drawing all the eyes in the room when everyone recognizes you, figure bathed in the warm spotlights that beam down onto the stand. You’re holding up a microphone, casting a look back at the speakers as though waiting for something, and a second later said speakers spring to life, a jazzy sort of tune muting out all other forms of sound as it begins playing. It sounds familiar, but maybe that’s because he’s spent one too many nights pulling security at Kabukicho’s clubs as a lot of the songs there have the same kind of smooth rhythm; even so he waits to see what you’re going to do,and when you first begin to sing even he has to pause. He didn’t expect your voice to be so soft, almost deceptively so - it’s not what he thought you’d sound like singing, yet it’s definitely not bad, in fact, he has to admit your singing voice is a damn good one, and you seem to know how to use it as just about everyone is listening to you sing. Tetsuya isn’t phased by the lyrics, they aren’t really all too questionable compared to some of the songs he’s heard over the years so he settles for watching you sing, only moving to scold Tetsuox when he cheers you on loud enough that his ears still ring by the time you’ve reached the final part of the song, swinging hips coming to a stop as your voice filters off with the last couple of fading notes. As the applause roars across the room Tetsuya joins in, languidly joining in on the clapping as he watches you flush at the attention and grin, moving with an extra bounce in your step in your trek back over to the table.

Suzuka doesn’t entirely know how to feel about the whole show idea when it’s first broached by the Summoners - most of the plans that involve you end up dragging everyone into some kind of trouble, or maybe you’re just that good of stumbling head first into other people's problems. Regardless though it seems as though your right hand makes for a damn good negotiator, as after just a meeting or two the talent show is decided up, taking place right in the heart of one of Kabukicho’s buildings and getting set up with more enthusiasm than Suzuka’s seen since the last festival. She keeps a keen eye on things, watching Summoners and Outlaws alike as they work together to pull up curtains and set up lights and talk as though they were one group and not too - it’s unusual, but not entirely unpleasant seeing them get along. By the time things are done Suzuka’s sat at one of the Outlaw’s booths with Tetsuox and Tetsuya in tow, the three of them watching over the final preparations until things are done and the show’s started. When you move away from the Summoner’s booth she immediately notices; you aren’t subtle, even as you try not to bother the performer already on the stage and duck between the tables trying to cause as little of a disturbance as possible, and she watches you right until you disappear from sight beyond the backstage curtain. You aren’t gone for long though, as she spots you not a few minutes later reappearing from the curtain, though this time you step directly out onto the platform, settling right in the center where the lights bathe your form in a warm golden hue as the song kicks in from the speakers. She hadn’t been told you were planning on joining in on the show, so she leans up a bit at the sight of you, admittedly curious to see what stunt you’re going to pull this time. The soft croon of your voice washes over the crowd like a wave, and for a moment it’s easy to mistake it as the voice from the track, but watching your mouth move as you turn to better face the audience it’s clear this is your voice, and you’re singing along to the melody with enough precision that it’s clear you’ve been practicing. You start off quiet, but as the song goes on you gradually gain more confidence, visibly getting into singing along to the tune as you swing and sway around the stage. Similar to Tetsuya, Suzuka’s heard her fair share of songs, some good, others questionable enough to make her visibly cringe just remembering them, so she doesn’t get fussy about some of the lines like you might expect, but they’re not the kind of words she’s used to hearing coming from your mouth so she is surprised at your song choice, but doesn’t really blink at the fact you’re singing it now. What she does react to is when Tetsuox hollers out a cheer off support with no care for the fact that he’s louder than anyone else in the room, and Suzuka’s quick to drag him back down into his seat with a hiss to can it, thankfully saving her ears from any more yelling until your song’s finally finished.

Tetsuox’s psyched to see his boss come around Kabukicho, so when there’s talk about a talent show that you guys are planning to set up he’s excited since that means you’ll be coming around more often leading up to it. When he’s not having to do rounds around the guild’s territory he’s with you and your friends helping with the heavy lifting, intervening in your stead to carry things around and help get the major equipment sent over to the place that it’s supposed to be. With his aid working alongside the other Outlaws and the Summoners tasks get done much faster, with things being hoisted up and wires being connected until everything is working and ready to go. He gets restless being stuck in the booth for the whole show, wanting to get up and wander around the audience instead or at least bounce between the Summoner’s and Outlaw’s table between performers. Tetsuox stays put though, at least until the next contestant enters onto the stage and he realizes that it’s you, having moved away from your respective table and ducking backstage only to step out onto the platform with a microphone in hand and music backing you up. The rowdiness dies down at the sound of you singing along to the tune you’ve picked out; you look nervous about performing even with your singing, so Tetsuox decides you need a pick-me-up and cheers you on, encouraging you far louder than he probably should have as not even a minute later Suzuka’s got him by the collar and is dragging him down hissing at him to can it and just let you sing. His encouragement seems to have done the trick though, as you physically brighten and gain a more confident stance, the next line of the song coming out louder and more confident as you allow yourself to pour your focus into the music. Other people join in on cheering you on as well, especially coming from over at the Summoner’s table where Kengo’s being just as loud as Tetsuox was, only to receive similar treatment from Shiro and Toji as they pull him back down as well - it’s honestly hilarious seeing the similarities playing out between the two sides. Everyone’s clapping by the time you finish, and you aren’t back at the Summoner’s table for very long before Tetsuox’s out of his chair telling you about how coolly you nailed that show - ain’t no one gonna hold a candle next to your performance!

Tsukuyomi isn’t often awake during the day, only truly coming alive once the sun sets, so he finds himself pleasantly surprised to wake up to find guild members zipping around making the finishing touches to what’s shaping up to be a hell of a talent show. Seeing the performers shuffling backstage he’s decided that he’s going to stick around to watch how this plays out, and is only further convinced to stay once he spots you and the other Summoners mingling amongst the outlaws. Tetsuya doesn’t look too pleased to notice that Tsukuyomi has sidled over to the table to join them, resting his arms across the back of the booth and leaning against it as he watches people move around on the stage. It’s an interesting feeling - being the audience rather than the performer isn’t usually his style, but it makes for a refreshing change and his attention only trul turns away from the stage once he notices someone moving away from the Summoner’s table. It’s you, standing up and ducking past tables and patrons in a bid to reach the backstage without causing a disturbance and disappearing from view just as quickly as you’d appeared. And that’s the last that’s seen of you right up until the last person has finished with their show, and as they leave and go back to their group someone else takes their place on the stand. It’s you, fiddling with the buttons to turn on your microphone while casting a glance at the speakers, where not a moment later music begins playing. The tune’s pleasant to Tsukuyomi’s ears, and he leans a little more against the top of the booth as he tries to recall if this is a song that’s played at the club before; but then you start to sing, and he can practically see all trains of thought in the room stop at the sound of your voice. They’re mesmerized, listening intently to you as you sing and Tsukuyomi finds himself smiling at how easily you’ve captivated your audience - your voice is charming, that much everyone in this room can agree on (tho many wouldn’t say it) and even he finds himself entertained by the way that you perform, swaying and turning in time with the song as you become more emboldened by the positive responses from the onlookers. For a moment the two of you meet eyes, and his expression is cool as he smiles, winking at you and feeling pleased when you almost falter and look away trying to refocus back onto the song. You finish strong, regaining your confidence and beaming by the time you finish still buzzing as the tables break out in applause. Tsukuyomi makes a note to find out the name of that song, it’d fit right at home at one of his performances - maybe he could convince you to do an encore, he thinks as he watches you move off of the stage and head back to your own table.

*kicks down your door* TAS requests, you say? May I get my Kabukicho Outlaws husband Tetsuya general stuff with an s/o that takes NONE of his crap? Please and thanks~!

these are all going under a cut until I’m less shy fghjkjhgfd

While they’re all a team on paper, and the Outlaws do consider themselves a form of family, they’re all aggressively independent when it comes to their everyday lives. Tetsuya is no exception to that, wanting and enjoying a lot of personal time for himself. Although you’re known for your meddling, you’re allowed to hang around as long as you don’t cause trouble— not more than they cause, anyways— but obviously, that’s just not how things work with you.

You make it clear early on that you want to spend time with Tetsuya, but he brushes you off pretty quickly; he doesn’t know why you’d be interested in trailing after him like a puppy, but he doesn’t intend to make it easy for you. Of course he knows these streets far better than you probably ever will— it’s almost a game now of how quickly he can disappear from sight and lose you in the crowds. So imagine his surprise when he rounds a corner, sure that he’s lost you yet again, only to find you leaning against the alley wall and waiting for him. Keep that up for long enough and he’ll just decide that avoiding you isn’t worth the effort.

Most people give up on him pretty quickly, given that he’s not the easiest man to know. Once he’s decided that he doesn’t want you dragged into the mess that is his life, he’s adamant about getting rid of you somehow— although you’re pretty well-known as a magnet for trouble, he’s inexplicably convinced that you'll be even worse off hanging around with him. Whenever you try to speak with him, his replies are short; he just outright ignores quite a bit of what you have to say, if he feels like you’re prying a bit too far. He tells himself that keeping you at a distance is the best way to protect you— so when it doesn’t work, and you tell him off one day for refusing to speak with you, he’s frustrated.

He keeps up his gruff act for a hot minute in the hopes that you’ll leave him alone, but that facade drops just a bit when the two of you inevitably stumble into a brawl. He insists that you take off and get somewhere safe, he can take care of this on his own— and then you call him a dumbass to his face and summon your sword, reinforcing the idea that he’s just as human as you are, and you’re not going to leave him alone with something like this. By now he’s slowly learned that you’re just gonna do whatever the hell you want, so he just sighs and rolls his eyes and finally stops trying to tell you what to do.
