Date Nights with Shinsou Hitoshi

Shinsou Hitoshi x reader

this is my new installment - Date Nights with the My Hero Academia Cast - It's going to appear irregularly and I've written about 4 of them already so if you feel like your fave deserves to go on a special kind of date, let me know.

Wanted to gift the first one to @alienaiver

Festivals with Shinsou

1.

He wouldn’t have dared to ask you out so soon if not for the summer festival.

You had mentioned how much you wanted to go but had no one to go with and he’d asked, sweating bullets, hornets rolling in his stomach, but he had asked.

And you had said yes.

He felt nauseated again, waiting in front of your apartment building.

Had the Yukata been the right choice? 

He’d always worn one when he went with his family as a child, but maybe you were more into street clothes?

He fiddled with the sleeves when the door opened and you appeared, the warm light from inside casting a halo around you.

His breath caught in his throat as he took you in.

You were wearing a white Yukata with purple accents the color of his hair.

“Hi.” You smiled at him as you walked over, “You look good.”

“You look good.” He said back, regretting it immediately. He sounded like a parrot.

“I mean you look beautiful. I like the color.”

“Right?” You spun around in a circle. “It’s so pretty I just had to get it. But yours is pretty as well.”

You looked up at him and his heart fluttered at the sight of your smile, your face so close to his. 

“It matches your eyes.”

The walk towards the festival was short and he enjoyed the warm evening air and the quiet of the streets. Your hands brushed against each other when you walked, a shiver running through him every time you touched.

The entrance to the festival was not hard to miss, with masses of people gathering there. The noise made him stop, wondering if he’d really been okay with that as a child or if this wasn’t normal at all.

“You okay?” You turned to look at him, sympathy in your eyes.

“Yeah, sure, I…” Your hand moved into his, cutting his stuttering short. 

“If it’s too much for you we can go back.” You pressed his hand and he pressed back.

“It’s fine. You just got to protect me.”

-

2.

It had become a ritual.

You’d outgrown the Yukata you’d worn to your first date long ago, but that did not matter.

Even at winter festivals you always found something to wear that would match his purple hair.

Today it was your jewelry, drops of purple glass dangling from your ears and your neck.

“How are you feeling?” He asked as he parked the car. “How’s the pain?”

“It’s about a two or a three. Manageable.”

“If it’s too much for you we can go back. Anytime. I’ll carry you to the car.”

You laughed and got out of the car.

“I’m fine. I rested the whole week for this. I’m not leaving without my Takoyaki.”

The noise was a lot, but he came prepared this time.

It had been Deku’s idea, of course. And he wasn’t the only one getting good use out of the tiny headphones that canceled out most of the noise but still allowed him to enjoy a conversation with you.

By now it should have been embarrassing too, that most of the street vendors knew them by name.

You got a Takoyaki for free, the little old woman making them now a good friend you made six years ago.

“You got to eat for two.” She says, patting your hand. 

Shinsou flushed a scarlet red while you laughed freely. 

“Oh, I’m not pregnant. But I’m still going to enjoy this Takoyaki.”

“Can we get some goldfish?” You asked, your hand warm in his. 

“Do you really want goldfish? We already have three cats.”

It was the same discussion at every festival. So far he had always won, mainly because you easily became distracted by something more favorable - the stuffed toys.

“Look how cute this one is!” You pointed at a stuffed version of Chargebolt. “Let’s win it. It’s the perfect present for their baby shower.”

He hesitated, pointing at a plus to the side.

“I don’t know, did you see that one?”

It was a stuffed Dynamight, only recognizable as such by the color scheme. Whoever had produced it had lacked the motivation to do a proper job. He had a lazy eye, his hair looked completely wrong and his gauntlets were sewn onto his feet.

Had Shinsou been alone, he’d ignored the plush or taken a picture for the group chat, but he knew you better.

“Oh no.” You breathed out in agony. “The poor thing. No one’s going to want it.”

There was the sorrow and then, just as predicted, the resolution.

“We’ve got to get it.”

“Already on it.”

Shinsou might not be the Number One Hero - he did not mind leaving that spot to Deku - but he knew he was your Number One Hero.

Especially today, when you got to leave the stand with two stuffed toys pressed into your arms, little Chargebolt and poor troubled Dynamight.

The smile on your face was worth all the trouble he’d gone through securing the prize.

And when they left the festival later, a couple yen lighter but with full bellies and two identical lollipops in the likeness of Ingenium - they did not get his hair color right, but who cared about that? - it felt reminiscent of their past as well as their future.

Their had been many dates like this before, too many to count.

There will be many dates like this in the future. Shinsou hoped it would be too many to count. 

My Kofi if you want to tip me

I don’t think the upperclassmen see Neil as sad and traumatized as much as they see him as a feral but deadly cat or chihuahua that they fed a couple times and is now theirs forever.

[abyssal-ilk]

there is something to be said about the fact that sten invites the warden with him to par vollen when the warden leaving right after the blight would be a neglection of their duties– and duty is something sten holds very sacred. the warden's job is not done at the end of the blight, especially if alistair was killed or made king. someone has to rebuild the wardens and deal with the lingering darkspawn. and still, sten offers the warden a way out. a way to relieve themself of that duty and choose a new path, which is something he previously was pretty adamantly against.

just. thinking about him.

Take care.

Concept design sketches for the main cast of Sonic Adventure in my superhero human AU! With both their hero personas and secret identities! (Or, in Knuckles’ case, his real identity and a casual style disguise for going about the city unbothered lol)

ALSO if you’re wondering why Tails and especially Big are still furries here… well this isn’t just a human AU, it’s also a superheroes AU so they all have the same powers that they have in canon! Tails is a shapeshifting kitsune who still uses his two tails to fly, and Big is a mutant and the local cryptid of the Mystic Ruins… but he’s still just a chill dude who likes fishing! He’s not exactly a ‘hero’ but he does have powers and likes to use them to help out his friends :)

[dennydraws]

I've been playing some Fire Emblem Heroes and I'm sad Julius has no alt... so ... I guess I'm drawing my own food :D;;;

[beartitled]

What’s happens when you put the voices in the washer?

You traumatise them

you could’ve at least choose delicate wash or something

[wizling]

can we have one good awakening alt before EOS please. just a crumb of recognition for my bisexual angel and her butch wife. just one tiny reference to the canonical girlprince homoeroticism sumia got to enjoy during the harvest scramble

Sumia: I know it's silly...but this whole thing is just SO alluring! I mean, men have their own unique appeal, and women do too, right? But combine them both, and you get the best of both worlds! The beauty of the female form, with the magnetic appeal of a handsome man... If we can pull this off, you'll be like a dashing prince from a fairy tale!

(FEH summon simulator here)

Yes Astarion is only fit to be an absent father a deadbeat uncle even but have you ever considered the power of Wyll Ravengard. You cannot deny him anything Astarion cannot deny him anything and if Astarion has to become a better person and, eventually, a half decent coparent of Wyll's child to make Wyll happy then he'll do it. With lots of complaints obviously but he will

[vasira96]

Every now and then I think about how in LEGO DC Batman: Family Matters they kinda insinuated that Tim is just like dead or something.

They somewhat establish the in universe Bat family via Robin (Damian) talking about the suit displays in the bat cave. He’s pointing out Batman, Nightwing, asking who an unknown suit belongs to. It was Jasons, it’s a Lego red hood movie after all. During this whole scene even Tim gets name dropped.

This one scene, one sentence, a handful of seconds of screen time on a suit display is the only time Tim is so much as acknowledged in the entire movie. Which would not be that bad, it’s a Jason focused movie. At most Tim would be a supporting character if he was in it. This on its own is not what insinuates that something has happened to Tim what is said later is.

The actual reason this one detail is so important is in the end portion of the movie all the Bat family cast members gather together, Batman, Red Hood, Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, Batwoman, and if I’m remembering right even Alfred. Barbara then proceeds to say something about how everyone is together. With extra emphasis on it being everyone, like “wow Jason’s back and now the whole Bat family is together again!” kind of scene.

Notice an alias missing from the list? There’s no Red Robin. Tim was established to exist, they emphasize everyone was there, Tim is still not there. This leads to some potential conclusions.

One Tim is dead. Two he is retired from Bat life thus not part of the Bat family. Three Babs doesn’t know about Tim (no one corrected her so unlikely). Or four Tim got the home alone/middle child treatment and everyone just forgot about him.

Personally I to imagine they just forgot about him and he’s just in the manor drinking Zesti unaware that everyone else is off saving Gotham because they didn’t wake him up before leaving.

Got distracted while working on a project and ended up drawing this instead. I've been enjoying reading @tashacee 's Hero's Aspect Au, and who doesn't love drawing a little Wild cat man?
