#Nikkou Ichimonji x Reader

[sword-brainrot]

Hello, I am in love of your touken ranbu child headcanon. really give me the warmth in my heart HAHAHA. May ask what happened if the child saniwa has a twin? like they’re both living together with the toudans after their grandparents of parents passed away. And the government had no choice but make them both saniwa or the grandparents/ parents requested them to be the next saniwa.

Very sorry that it took so long for me to do your request (‘～`；). I'm not sure what swords you wanted for this request so I chose some at random but feel free to request this again with different swords! ( ･_･)♡ I always love doing these requests for child saniwa!

Child!Saniwa with Twin Living With Nikkou Ichimonji, Jizou Yukihira, and Akita Toushirou!

♡ A child? With a twin no less? Oh boy...

♡ It would be a lie to say that Nikkou wasn't a bit hesitant about this ordeal. He was suppose to serve his master's every order... And yet his young masters didn't even reach up to his knee-

♡ The day the two was brought in before him while he was the attendant of the citadel, only to be told this is the new master of the honmaru... Nikkou doesn't show much facial expressions but you could visible see his eye brow twitch at the notion.

♡ This was no longer a master he had to serve.... This was two masters that he would have to raise. How the hell was the Left Wing of the Ichimonjis suppose to take care of children?

♡ The first day was hell for everyone involved. Him trying to show his new masters the honmaru... only for them to run around and him always losing one of them, somehow-

♡ You know those child leashes? Yeah, he invests in them so he never loses them.

♡ You think that would solve all his problems... until they tangle him up and he falls to the ground. Goodbye to the leashes after that because that was so embarrassing.

♡ He actively tries to be a teacher to the saniwas but doesn't truly understand how to give the information at their level and makes them all confused.

♡ Nikkou truly doesn't understand how they don't get the lessons he presents them. He explained it clearly and gave them plenty of details to understand???

♡ Luckily he doesn't have to raise these kiddos alone for too long before the next sword manifests and starts to help out.

♡ Jizou manifests only to be met with the sparkling eyes of the twin saniwas and an exhausted Nikkou.

♡ How fitting that the first sword they manifest is the sword shoulders the divine protection of Jizou Bodhisattva, the guardian of children, travellers, and those suffering in hell.

♡ Unlike Nikkou, who is all about order and getting the saniwas prepared for their life as the wise sage and protecting history, Jizou takes the time to sit down with them and learn about the twins.

♡ He is always smiling ear to ear as he listens to the twins go on and on about the animals they saw outside and what they colored in their notebooks.

♡ Jizou is 100% the one that actively goes with them and plays with them. They see a frog? Jizou is kneeling down to point it out to the twins and teach them interesting facts that they would be able to remember.

♡ Jizou asking the twins what certain animals sound like and crafting cute songs about animals for the twins to repeat.

♡ Meanwhile, Nikkou is in the kitchen making food and wondering how this is going to help protect history.

♡ The day he sits in on a Nikkou lesson... oh boy, does Nikkou get an earful about how bad it was after. "By the heavens, have you no wit to understand how to teach children, Nikkou Ichimonji?"

♡ It gets a bit tense in the citadel since Nikkou truly doesn't understand what he is doing wrong. Sure human children are smaller and younger than his past masters, but they have to be able to comprehend the lessons all the same, right?

♡ While Nikkou is worried about protecting history and raising the twins so they are prepared for any difficult decision that may come their way - He lacks the understanding of how to raise a child and comes off very strict. Sometimes, even unfriendly.

♡ Meanwhile, Jizou is all about raising the children so they can enjoy their youth and go at their pace. He wants to protect them from all the bad karma in the world. If it was up to Jizou, he would resign them from being saniwas so they never have to face the harsh realities of history.

♡ Jizou and Nikkou never quite see eye to eye. A tense atmosphere lingers between them.

♡ Even so, Jizou always pushes it aside when the twins are around to have a smile on his face and listen fully to what they want to talk about.

♡ Jizou is a very spiritual being and will teach phrases to the children. Such as: "Om! Ha ha ha! O wondrous one, svā‎hā‎!"

♡ Even if they don't understand or have any interest, he makes sure that he will live up to his name and always protect his adorable saniwas.

♡ While Jizou is always active in the twins life, Nikkou is much more distant and closed off. He sees himself as purely a mentor until he can be a warrior for the young masters.

♡ The next sword to manifest is Akita Toushirou, a tantou who is only a fit taller than his new twin saniwas.

♡ Unlike Jizou and Nikkou, who are very much trying to raise the twins correctly. Akita is also learning about life and shares their curiosity of the world.

♡ He is more so a friend for them to play with. They are always outside playing. From going to the beach, to bird watching, to playing in the dirt, or planting flowers together - They are best of friends.

♡ You know Akita is going in their room for sleepovers. It's a bonus because that means Jizou will also read them a bedtime story, normally some type of poetry that they don't completely understand the deeper meaning... But the thought is what counts!

♡ With a new sword in the citadel; Nikkou takes it upon himself to start teaching Akita swordsmanship.

♡ The twins will quickly realize that their new best friend has suddenly not been around as much to play and find themselves also signing up for Nikkou's lessons.

♡ Jizou is also there to give a watchful eye and make sure Nikkou doesn't overdo it.

♡ As terrible as Nikkou is at giving them lessons on history, or math, or really anything - He is actually an amazing teacher at swordsmanship.

♡ They all get wooden swords and he teaches them how to stand, where to place their feet, adjusting their grip on the sword, etc.

♡ The twins do a great job at preforming the move that Nikkou just showed them? They are getting head pats because he is proud of them but can't express it accurately with words.

♡ Nikkou always coughs nervously into the back of his hand when he catches the gaze of Jizou, who is wearing a proud smile upon his face.

♡ The aura of the citadel becomes more easy going and more like a family. Jizou and Nikkou still don't completely see eye to eye but they are more understanding of one another.

♡ One day, Akita suggested that they draw a picture of the citadel to the twins.

♡ It was not a masterpiece, but it was an adorable stick drawing filled with character and heart. And very very colorful.

♡ In it, the twins were holding Nikkou's hands while Akita and Jizou took hold of their free hands.

♡ At dinner, they presented their drawing to Nikkou and Jizou as they sat down.

♡ Jizou was full of compliments, of course.

♡ But it was Nikkou's expression that told it all. He didn't say a word but his mouth hung open and his eyes wide.

♡ A normally tense face now looked at this colorful drawing like it was the most stunning thing imaginable.

♡ A mischievous smile on Jizou's face as he asked, "Do you like it, Ichimonji-san?"

♡ Clearing his throat, he puts it aside and tells everyone to eat.

♡ The next day, it is hung up for everyone in the citadel to see.

♡ Nikkou actively goes to Jizou to discuss his teaching plans for the twins and how to make it more kid friendly for them to understand.

♡ From investing in child leashes to investing in gold star stickers, Nikkou goes out of his way to change and become someone that the twins would look up to and want to grow to be.

♡ Any activities that Jizou, Akita, and the twins would go together together (like firework shows or the beach), Nikkou is now tagging along and offering to carry the little ones whenever they get tired.

♡ He is still rather dense with raising kids and not understanding their jokes ("Why did the pony get sent to his room?" "Aruji, horses don't have rooms. I don't believe it's wise for them to be in any household room because-" "He wouldn’t stop horsing around!" "...What?")

♡ Nikkou learns how to treasure life in the moment instead of worrying about the future. He is normally the one that takes care of internal affairs and missions but that doesn't mean he doesn't ask for them for their input.

♡ Especially with who is on farm duty, kitchen duty, etc. He allows them to pick whoever they want.

♡ Nikkou never sees himself as the leader of the citadel. He may give the orders for now, but he will forever be the wing to make his masters fly.

Flirted With | Sanchoumou, Nikkou Ichimonji, Ichimonji Norimune | Feat. Mafia AU

Yes hi, Mafia!AU because I can. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  You look at me and tell me the Ichimonji peeps don’t give you mafia vibes. Especially with all of the fanart I found. Forgive me y’all.

Warnings: Violence a lit bit, I mean it is a mafia au. Not gonna too far with that shit though.

Sanchoumou

Now as the current head of the Ichimonji clan and having you as his partner, there is no shortage of people who would be after your head. Or even to get into either of your pants to get the benefits of all that money and fame and power could bring them.

But there is no doubt that Sanchoumou is a loyal man. He would not even dare to bat an eye at anyone else, even if they flash their skin or their credentials or even give reasons why they would be a better lay than you.

Oh no. How dare they even insinuate that they could ever match you, his little phoenix. 

It’s almost insulting. Ruby eyes boring into the perpetrator, burning their soul away from the outside in. 

So when you two are at a gala, arm in arm, and you soon fluttering away to go grab another drink, Sanchoumou cannot help but let his gaze linger on you, oh so full of love. He knows that you can handle yourself but he cannot help but look for you in the crowd from time to time.

But when he notices this little upstart get a little too close to you, oh sweetie. His gloved hand will tighten a bit, careful not to shatter the glass of wine in his hand but enough to know that he didn’t like who the hell was with you. He would quirk an eyebrow but do nothing unless the body language of the other party was more malicious.

You are his lover for a reason, you can defend yourself. You have weapons stored in your clothes. But you can feel his gaze on you, more so out of concern - which soon translates to anger the minute this creepo of a mafia lackey began to advance on you. Yes you take a step back but soon you feel Sanchoumou’s arm wrap around your waist and the aggressor fucking freezes in horror. 

“I do apologize for inserting myself into the conversation, but are they bothering you, dear?” Sanchoumou would not even give the creep the light of day, the look of worry evident on his face. He would press a sweet kiss to your cheek, red eye glaring at the other person, a silent notion for them to fucking lEAVE. 

They scatter, immediately.

“Are you alright, love?” Sanchoumou would question when he moves you two to a much quieter and safer area. It would be a strange silence between you two, as Sanchoumou needed some time to seethe and release his anger. But the moment he sees that you’re okay and your hands find his, all is fine in the world. 

Will keep a closer eye on you in public now, and probably up your self defense lessons. If push comes to a shove, he’ll have the rest of the gang also keep an eye on you in big crowds/big parties. 

Nikkou Ichimonji

Compared to Sanchoumou who will go into a miniature rant about how amazing you are, Nikkou will not even notice someone trying to take him away from you. It’s not that he’s dense or anything, he’s already so loyal to you and he considers himself off of the market.

If someone continues to flirt with him and says rather nasty things about you, a mere glare and a growl from Nikkou will send them scampering. He will think not of this though, again he is nothing but loyal to you! Nikkou can tell if you’re upset with peeps flirting with him though, and will always reaffirm his promise that his heart is yours.

When people flirt with you though? Nikkou is all ears and eyes. He will watch you out of the corner of his eye, ready to jump in if needed. Maybe he will have Nansen intervene if he is too far away, or politely ask to excuse himself from Sanchoumou’s side to find you. He doesn’t panic when you disappear into the crowd, he knows you’ll be okay. Their men are everywhere, and they will immediately alert him if something is wrong.

It doesn’t mean he won’t worry though. Of course he is a man of business and will mostly be paying attention to whatever chat he’s having with other business partners and gang members. But in the back of his mind, he is searching for you. He won’t crack under pressure, oh no!

When he notices some creep far too close for his liking, there is a quirk of his brow and a subtle signal to Nansen or another member of the gang. Nikkou will not move right away, and the moment he could see some distress on your face he immediately moves in. He is silent, compared to Sanchoumou who will announce his presence with an adoring anecdote professing his love for you and his relationship with you, NIkkou is quiet. He merely arrives with a clearing of his throat, eyes behind his glasses narrowing at the other person who dared to take up your time. 

If they do not get it, expect Nikkou to almost growl in protectiveness. The rest of the gang ready to jump them but Nikkou keeps his cool. 

When they do leave, Nikkou and you go off to a quiet place to replace, leaning against each other in a comfortable silence before whispering, “Are you alright?” 

If you are shaken, Nikkou will wrap his arm around your frame, pulling you closer and rubbing soft circles into your skin. “I apologize for not arriving sooner.” 

Like Sanchoumou he will up also up your self defense classes (and join them to spar against you) and will try to hover around you more. 

Gods forbid if someone hurt you. They would feel his wrath.

Ichimonji Norimune

The retired leader of the Ichimonji clan he may be, Norimune is a social butterfly. He reveals in social gatherings so if you find him surrounded by people who want to earn his favor, it’s common to be a wee bit jealous. 

But Norimune is so so proud of being yours, and is that one guy who won’t shut the hell up about his partner, how pretty they are, how much he loves them, etc and etc. 

If someone does flirt with him, Norimune laughs it off and takes it in stride. He does humor them but will let them down gently or harshly depending if they can take the hint. He is a proud of being your lover after all!

Now if someone is flirting with you? He...isn’t happy. He won’t be as angry or worried as Sanchoumou or Nikkou before him, but has much more faith in you. This party is meant to be fun! Why bring it down with such a dour mood. 

He won’t lie that he is a lil bit jealous that they are getting too close to you.

The minute he sees you are uncomfy with their advances, there is a laugh as he approaches you, attempting to defuse any sort of situation. “Now love, are you enjoying the party?” he will act like he has come to check up on you, refilling your drink as an excuse to get close.

If the fucker continues to bother you, unaware of Norimune’s relation to you or undeterred, Norimune would wrap his arm around you and fully kiss you; right then and there, right in front of everyone to see.

When it’s over Norimune would chuckle, “I do apologize for such a brazen display of affection, my dear, but are you alright?” he would ask when it was only you two. 

While the idea of taking more self defense classes are a thing, if anything Norimune will also will just want to be around you. Maybe you two won’t actually get any training done but hey~! You two are in love and it’s all that matters!

Will be keeping a closer eye out for you though, if such a situation happens again, he wants you to give him some kind of signal to come and rescue you.

Feathers of a Pheasant

Pairing: Sanchoumou x Saniwa (Reader, they/them), Midare & Saniwa (platonic/familial), Nikkari Aoe x Ishikirimaru (romantic, i love this pairing a lot ok shush) 

Content Warnings: blood, violence, death of a minor character, transformation, alcohol because Nihongou (also mentions of drunkeness), a lil bit of insecurity but this is supposed to be something fun I wrote during my winter break then forgot about, curses

Word Count:  3734ish words 

Characters: Sanchoumou, Saniwa, Kogarasumaru, Nihongou, Midare Toushirou, Norimune Ichimonji, Kikkou Sadamune, Yagen Toushirou, Nikkari Aoe, Ishikirimaru, Nikkou Ichimonji, Nansen Ichimonji, Kasen (mention, ya’ll know the drill)

A/N: I wrote this during my winter break and was inspired by a fic where it has a similar premise but I won’t spoil it ehe, also I wanted an excuse to write more of Sanchoumou, also Midare goes by any pronouns in this and is non-binary, but i think I refer to them by she/they/he, also I like Midare a lot because they my child, also this team is based off one of the units I actually have in my game with: Sanchoumou (Captain), Kogarasumaru, Nihongou, Midare Toushirou, Norimune Ichimonji, Kikkou Sadamune, it’s called Family + Kikkou btw lol. Sanchoumou (dad), Kogarasumaru (grandpa), Nihongou (drunk uncle), Midare (the child obviously), Norimune Ichimonji (grandpa on dad’s side), Kikkou (pet- /THIS IS A JOKE) but yeah I have a lot other fics to post but im very lazy and procrastinating on writing my final paper, so imma post some fics soon I need to get off my ass.....

As the proud head of the Ichimonji clan cut down the last foe, Sanchoumou sheathed his blade and let out a sigh of relief. The mission seemed to draw to a close, with minimal injuries and the unit ready to relax, Sanchoumou was about to call the team back home to the citadel. But just as everyone was about to teleport back, Midare noticed a barely alive HRA soldier creep up behind Sanchoumou, “Captain look out!” 

But it was too late, on the foe’s final breath, they lunged towards Sanchoumou and grabbed him. In a flash of sickly, green light, the two disappeared and Midare and the rest of the unit desperately searched for their captain. Fearing for the worst, Nihongou uncorked his sake bottle and poured some onto the ground to commemorate their lost captain. Meanwhile Norimune didn’t think for a second that Sanchoumou was dead; his heir wouldn’t go down so easily. The retired head scoured the now empty battlefield for any traces of his successor, his eyes landing on a pile of Sanchoumou’s clothes with a lump moving around underneath. 

“Over here!” Norimune exclaimed and the unit circled the pile of clothes. Did Sanchoumou disappear and was kidnapped by the History Retrograde Army? Or was his body disintegrated by the touch of the fallen soldier? Or- before any of them could ask any questions, Kikkou poked the moving mass to be met with a squawk. Shrugging off the clothes, a white pheasant emerged with just as a confused look as everyone else. A moment of silence passed and the only one who pieced together what had happened was Kogarasumaru who picked up the confused pheasant and started petting him to calm him down. 

“It seems that our captain here has grown a few more feathers,” Kogarasumaru smiled while cradling the now transformed Sanchoumou like a baby. The bespectacled pheasant couldn’t help but calm its startled feathers to Kogarasumaru’s gentle sways. When Nihongou connected the dots, he tried to stifle his laughter but burst out with tears in his eyes. While the Great Spear of Japan was laughing his guts out, Midare, being the 2nd tantou ever summoned to the citadel, was already rolling her eyes into the back of her head on ways to explain this to you. 

Norimune breathed a sigh of relief that his successor wasn’t dead but was already thinking of ways to fix this. They couldn’t go to Yagen unless they wanted him to dissect and study poor Sanchoumou, maybe he could ask the young kitten of the Ichimonji clan? No… sure Nansen was cursed but he sure didn’t know how to reverse it. That meant that the only two people that could have any hope of curing Sanchoumou of this curse were those two. Making up his mind, Norimune whispered his plans to Midare and they turned to everyone else, “Alright everyone! I’ll transport us home due to our captain being… incapacitated at the moment, so make sure to grab everything of Sanchoumou’s!” 

Kikkou without any second thoughts grabbed Sanchoumou’s clothes but clarified to everyone, “I’m not gonna do anything to them, besides I prefer my own!” Everyone else besides Nihoungou who was hollering at the whole situation gave a side eye to the pink haired uchitanaga. Without any second glances, Midare transported the unit with their now feathery captain back to the citadel. 

Once home, Norimune ponders, “Should we tell the Saniwa about this predicament because maybe they could help reverse-“ 

A loud squawk from Sanchoumou interrupted him, he vehemently shook his head at the idea. 

“Eh… Sanchoumou, Saniwa is a powerful magician, they can surely reverse this curse no problem.” 

Sanchoumou continued to shake his head violently  and began to flap his wings in protest. 

Norimune sighed, “Alright, alright, I’ll keep your secret.” 

Midare immediately whispered to the unit, “Alright, no one is going to tell anyone else about this. This stays under wraps until we know how the curse works and if it can be reversed. If anyone asks, Sanchoumou went to perform an errand and won’t be back for some time.” 

Kikkou tilted his head, “But wouldn’t that raise questions?” 

Norimune answered his question, “Not if I say it was true, even though I’m a retired old man now I still have some influence.” 

Kogarasumaru calmed down the flustered pheasant, “You hear that, your secret is safe with us.” 

Sanchoumou’s feathers relaxed once more and they all decided to cover Sanchoumou with a cloak and sneakily ran over to the only two people that could possibly solve this in secret. 

“Oya? What brings you five here today?” Nikkari cheekily asked while in Ishikirimaru’s lap. 

Ishikirimaru calmly asked while caressing Nikkari’s hair, “Yes, how may  we help all of you?” 

No one was willing to step up and say the ridiculous predicament their captain has gotten himself into. Midare sighed and unveiled the new Sanchoumou, “Our captain was cursed and we need your help!” 

Nikkari lifted his head from his paramour’s lap and deepened his mischievous smile, “Now this is quite the problem~” 

Ishikirimaru immediately scanned the slightly rattled pheasant, “A potent curse indeed. Hand me Sanchoumou if that’s alright.” 

Kogarasumaru made sure Sanchoumou was ok before handing him to the ootachi, “It’ll be alright.” 

Sanchoumou steadied his breathing and let himself be examined by the two lovers. Ishikirimaru hummed, “Hmmm… a curse such as this normally wouldn’t take too long to solve but considering that it was made by someone on the brink of death… it’ll be a little more difficult than usual to break.” 

“Although ghost slaying is my forte, I do know my way around malevolent forces, but you need to trust me on this,” Nikkari warned with his signature smile. 

Sanchoumou nodded, determined to get out of this form as quickly as possible. 

The wakizashi looked to his beloved for his partnership, Ishikirimaru gave a look to him that said ‘Of course I will.’ The two placed the confused Sanchoumou down on the floor and grabbed both of their blades to the shock of the rest of the unit. They whispered to each other for a brief moment. 

Ishikirimaru and Nikkari’s eyes gave off a chilling glint and quickly unsheathed their blades. Before any of the others could scream or shout, the two slashed the blades at Sanchoumou and a bright light covered the room. Ishikirimaru and Nikkari were the only ones to notice a fading dark mist disappear into the void. A quick moment passed and Sanchoumou’s teammates opened their eyes to a still alive pheasant. Hell even the Ichimonji head looked at himself in confusion, but Nikkari could only chuckle. Ishikirimaru sighed and gave Nikkari a knowing glance, “My apologies but we didn’t want to alert the curse on what we were trying to do. Because it was far more intelligent than we thought.” 

Midare grew concerned, “How so?” 

Nikkari answered with a dark look in his eyes but a constant smile, “The curse is permanent without any intervention and would persist long after the accursed person’s death. It would then mutate and transform the poor bird into something more menacing and more akin to an oni with feathers. The afflicted one soon no longer recognizes any of its loved ones and only focuses on getting its revenge and satisfying its bloodlust.” 

Ishikirimaru shook his head in mock dismay, “Well in an extreme case, yes, but essentially the curse would possess the afflicted and transform them into something that represents its soul. Once transformed, it worms into the victim’s mind to make them accomplish the curse-user’s goals regardless of whether the victim is alive or not.” 

The only calm ones of Sanchoumou’s unit were the two old men, Norimune teasing his successor, “Good thing, we got rid of your curse hahaha! But I can’t imagine this small thing beating me quite yet!” 

Sanchoumou ruffled his feathers in both shock and embarrassment. 

Kogarasumaru’s calm demeanor remained, “But why is this small one still a pheasant?” 

The sacred ootachi answered, “Well, curses that involve transformation normally only last a few days to weeks typically. Only serious transformation curses require a clause to break the curse or are as serious as the one mentioned. I was worried that fully resolving the curse would activate something even worse so Nikkari and I decided to make the curse a much milder version. So the curse will last a week at least but will most definitely resolve itself by the next full moon.” 

Midare was going to have an aneurysm, how was he going to cover for her captain for 2 weeks?! Kogarasumaru saw the tanto’s distress and rubbed their back, “It’s alright, we’ll figure something out. You’re not alone in this, besides I think Sanchoumou already has an idea.” 

Sanchoumou was already carrying a brush and some paper in his beak and laid it down. He tried to write with the brush but it was illegible so he dipped his claws into the ink to write out a message. It read, ‘I’ll distract Saniwa in this form and I need someone to disguise as me to avoid suspicion.’ Everyone’s eyes went to Norimune, the old man chuckled, “It seems that I must be the head of the clan once more.” 

After agreeing with Nikkari and Ishikirimaru to have a checkup every night in regards to Sanchoumou’s curse, the team thanked the couple and went to report to Saniwa. Luckily for them, Yagen and you were walking down the hallway they just entered. You warmly greeted the team, “I was wondering where all of you have been? Did something happen, never mind that I’m just glad all of you are safe. But where’s Sanchoumou?” 

Yagen also piped up, “Yeah, where were all of you? All of you need to have a check up so we can be sure there’s no injuries on any of you.” 

Nihoungou surprisingly answered, “Sorry, sorry! I wanted to celebrate with my great team of mine and we got carried away, hahahaha! We got so drunk that Sanchoumou passed out!” 

Everyone followed Nihoungou’s lead and proceeded to act like they were drunk except for the aforementioned Sanchoumou and Midare. She just wanted to go back to her room and get her beauty sleep, what the hell. Sanchoumou meanwhile was wondering what Nihongou was thinking. 

Yagen’s pinched his nose, “Well I certainly believe you Nihongou but just make sure that everyone gets checked for injuries alright?” 

You meanwhile were concerned for the “missing” tachi, “Should I go look after Sanchoumou then, I can bring some-“ 

Kikkou interjected with a faux slurring of his words, “Oooooh Saniwa won’t you look after me instead?~ I’ve let myself go and don’t you think that requires punishment~” 

Nihongou swore he saw your eye twitch before you calmly replied, “Ok just take care of Sanchoumou and let me know if he needs anything. Midare, thanks for being such a champ, as a reward I’ll buy you that new kimono you've been talking about.” 

Maybe this was worth it after all, Midare with her signature, cheerful smile, “Of course Saniwa! Midare’s got you covered, and can you buy me that new hair pin as well <3?” 

“Yes of course Midare, you’re doing such a great job.” 

“Fufufu! Now that’s what I like to hear!” 

Kikkou interjected, “What about me?!” 

“Get some rest you drunkard,” you rolled your eyes and just as you were about to excuse them, “Hey… why do y’all have a pheasant?” 

Well fuck. 

Norimune, while trying to be as coherent and pretend drunk as possible, “Welllll…. it seems that my successor caught a bird while drunk uhahaha! So we’ve been taking care of this thing while our captain was drunk!” 

Sanchoumou’s little bird eye twitched. 

You were skeptical but you looked at the pheasant in question and found your heart growing warmer at the sight of him, “Well make sure to set the poor thing free later but he is a cutie.” 

If birds could blush then Sanchoumou would be a tomato. 

Kogarasumaru smiled, “Well it seems that this small bird has gotten attached to us and won’t seem to leave.” 

You shook your head in disbelief, “Alright, alright, all of you get some rest, I’ll take care of this little guy for now.” 

The father of swords gingerly handed Sanchoumou to you and you held it gently. The feathery Ichimonji couldn’t help but coo and nuzzle into your embrace, “He’s an affectionate little guy huh? Don’t worry I’ll make sure Kasen makes you some good food.” 

As you waved the unit goodbye, you headed back to your room with Yagen. He was still skeptical of the bird, so the tanto examined for a few moments before bidding you good night. You set the pheasant down next to your futon and looked around for proper bedding for your new guest. Sanchoumou, wanting to help you, grabbed some pillows while you got a small cloth to cover him during the night so he wouldn’t get cold. 

“Thank you.” 

He chirped in response. 

A few days had passed since then and various team members from Sanchoumou’s unit came to pick him up and take him to see the sacred sword and ghost slasher. Things were looking optimistic all things considered, Ishikirimaru told them that the curse should resolve itself in a mere couple of days. But Sanchoumou’s disappearance had been whispered about and the rest of the Ichimonji clan who hadn’t been informed of what happened were getting worried. 

Nansen was growing antsy at his missing boss and Nikkou began searching everywhere for the clan leader. Midare pulled their teammates aside to give Norimune a makeover, Sanchoumou was there to supervise and everyone except Nihongou helped the former head become the current leader of the Ichimonji clan. Nihongou was drinking booze and tried to help but booze and careful precision never really mix well, do they? Midare decided to put a mask over Norimune’s mouth to avoid even more scrutiny and all things considered, it was a success??? 

Norimune knew Sanchoumou well enough to fool someone at a glance but Nikkou and Nansen were harder to fool. The sunglasses-wearing pheasant corrected the old man multiple times and everyone couldn’t help but giggle at the sight. So thankfully Nansen was fooled but Nikkou seemed skeptical but didn’t seem to speak up about it. (I don’t have Himetsuru so he’s off doing his own thing) 

Meanwhile you were getting more and more comfortable with the pheasant in your life. Sure it was a bit awkward at first to sleep next to a random bird but you got used to it. Sanchoumou’s heart was rapidly beating against his feathery chest while next to you. Being so close to you in this form was a curse and a blessing, a curse in that he couldn’t communicate any of his deeper thoughts to you clearly. But a blessing in that he felt like he was getting closer to you and heard things that he would’ve never even dreamed of. Yet he couldn’t handle it for too long since he mostly escaped through the flight of his wings after he was sure you were asleep. 

One night before bed, Sanchoumou was preening his feathers since he got into the habit while waiting for the curse to wear off. You were staring at him and he turned to you and tilted his head in confusion, you laughed, “Sorry, you’re just so cute like this. And you remind me of someone… um can I tell you a secret?” 

There was a beat of silence. 

“What am I doing, talking to a bird…” 

Sanchoumou, to dissuade you from backing down, nuzzled his head against your hand to urge you to speak. You smiled, “Alright, ok. Um, so you remind me of this guy I really like. He’s super cool and handsome, like nothing could phase him. Yet he’s so gentle and kind, he’s the full package. But I’m scared to tell him because he probably wouldn’t like someone like me.” You paused a bit for thinking ‘fuck it’ this bird wouldn’t know who Sanchoumou is, “His name is Sanchoumou and I really like him, keep a secret for me ok?” 

Sanchoumou never wanted more than to transform back and confess his feelings back to you. But he could do nothing but longingly look into your eyes and coo at you. You chuckled at this pheasant’s concern for you, “Do you think he likes me back?” 

Sanchoumou chirped in confirmation. 

“I hope so too.” 

As much as he wanted to stay, as soon as you fell asleep, he flew out of your room and into Nikkari’s and Ishikirimaru’s room like he did every night. Nikkari knew from the desperate look on Sanchoumou’s eyes that he wanted to be free. “Alright, just be patient, since your time is coming a lot sooner than you’d think.”

And he was right since the next night, Sanchoumou’s body felt heavier and rushed himself into the bathroom. Feathers turned to flesh, wings turned to hands, claws turned to feet, and his beak turned into his mouth. The strange sensations flooded throughout his transforming body and he was trying his best not to scream, with a few, soft whimpers escaping. He needed to remain the  cool, steadfast leader that everyone needed. He shouldn’t have let his guard down, he should’ve been more alert, he should’ve been- His bombarding thoughts caused him to sweat and he lifted his hand up to wipe the sweat off his brow only to realize he was human again. 

A sigh of relief and pain escaped Sanchoumou’s clenched teeth, he looked down and of course he was naked. Pinching the bridge of his nose, he considered wearing a towel until there was a knock on the bathroom door. A soft voice from the other side said, “I’ll put your clothes in front of the door, it’s good to have you back captain!” 

“Thanks Midare,” when Sanchoumou spoke, it felt weird to him as if he hadn’t been using his mouth properly in forever. But stretching his body and getting used to being human again, he then went to go put on his clothes. He was surprised at how tight fitting his clothing was but he guessed it was because he hadn’t been wearing clothes for at least a week or two. 

Straightening his clothing and hair out, Sanchoumou made his way to you. But right as he was about to knock on your door, he stopped, how the hell was he going to explain what happened to him. He didn’t want to lie but he didn’t want to tell you out of fear that you would be disappointed in him. He needed to be a good leader and this was an embarrassment, what a joke. His hand slightly trembled but thankfully you opened the door before his resolve could waver even further. 

Your eyes were full of concern, “Sanchoumou where have you been? All of us have been worried sick about you… I’ve been worried sick about you.” 

“My apologies, my little bird but there’s something I need to tell you.” 

You know that he calls you little bird as just a nickname but something in your heart just flutters whenever he calls you that. “Yeah of course, what do you need to tell me?” 

“Let’s take this inside,” Sanchoumou moved, the two of you inside your room and closed the door, “The reason behind my absence is entirely my fault, I let my focus slip and was ambushed by an enemy.” 

Your eyes widened in fear, “Are you hurt?! Do you need me to get Yagen? Do you want me to heal you?” 

Sanchoumou’s heart beated a bit faster when he saw you fret over him, “Don’t worry, little bird, I’m fine. Instead the foe… turned me into a pheasant.” 

A moment of silence blessed the two of you, until you connected the two dots, “So you were the cute pheasant?!!!” 

“Yes, indeed I was. I’m happy that you find me cute however.” 

“Wait does that mean you were the one I told my crush to???” 

“Yes and-“ 

“I’m so sorry, you can ignore it. It’s ok I uh-“ 

He held your hands and looked deep into your eyes, “I wanted to tell you that I was just as infatuated with you as well.” 

“… Really?” 

“Yes, really.” 

“I can’t believe it.” 

“Believe in it.” 

You had such a stupid smile on your face and Sanchoumou wanted to kiss you. 

“But wait, why didn’t you just tell me from the start that you turned into a bird?” 

Sanchoumou’s face blanched, “I… was ashamed and didn’t want to disappoint you.” 

“You silly goose! You could never disappoint me Chomo, you’re enough, you’re more than enough. Everyone cares about you regardless if you’re a fearless leader or not!” 

“Thank you, my dear. But I think it’s more proper to say pheasant than goose.” 

You couldn’t help but laugh when he said that and he felt enchanted by your laughter. He leaned in close so that your foreheads touched and you closed the distance with a kiss. 

Springing into action, Sanchoumou laid you onto your futon and began to show how much you truly meant to him. 

Outtakes: 

Midare was showing off the new kimono that you bought him, “Saniwa, Saniwa!! Doesn’t this look pretty on me?” 

You sat in Sanchoumou’s lap and the two of you praised and cheered on Midare’s mini fashion show, “You look great Midare, like you always do!” 

“Hehehe of course! But I guess I have the captain to thank for this or should I say Dad~” 

You couldn’t help but grow flustered at the implication, but Sanchoumou was all for it, “Dad doesn’t sound half bad, doesn’t it my dove?” 

Just as you were about to hide your face, Sanchoumou kissed up the length of your neck to prevent you from hiding from him. You giggled and playfully squirmed at his affection and Sanchoumou continued his loving attack on you. Midare gagged a little at the display of affection but was happy that you two were happily in love.

Hi! Can you make some headcanons for bossy female saniwa saving Sanchoumou and his gang from HRA? It’d be awesome! And I also want to hear Ichimonji members’ thoughts when they are saved by their master. Thank you ❤︎

Fukuoka Ichimonji Being Saved by Saniwa (F!Reader)

♡ All the Fukuoka Ichimonji members were gripping their wounds as the titans of HRA stood over them. They were sent out as a unit to retrieve items, it was suppose to be a simple expedition to Nagashino Castle.

♡ These HRA were brutal. They didn't just want to finish off the members and go along on their way. They wanted the Touken Danshi to suffer.

♡ They brought them all down to a sliver of health... Feeling as if a single poke could shatter them and destroy their human and sword forms like a snap of a finger.

♡ All the boys couldn't help but look at the others who tried so hard to protect the ones they called family but ultimately be brought down to the same fate. Unable to lift themselves off the ground to even try to flee.

♡ The HRA were going to take them out one by one and make the others watch.... When did they become so sadistic?

♡ A looming shadow covered Sanchoumou as his visible red eyes glared at the force. His once perfect posed outfit and glasses, now laid in ruin as he gritted his teeth.

♡ So they wanted to take out the current leader, huh?

♡ He gave a spiteful smile as he clenched his bloody abdomen.

♡ "Make your strike count or I'm sending my broken blade up your gullet." Sanchoumou seethed.

♡ Nansen's eyes watered and a loud scream bellowed out of the cursed cat for his boss while Nikkou scrambled on the floor to get in front of the man he was suppose to be the wings for. His body pressed into the dirt as the other HRA stepped down on him to make him stay and watch the person he cared for meet his end.

♡ Himetsuru and Norimune could do nothing but watch in horror as they were too far to even try to make it in time to save Sanchoumou. The man who rose above and beyond constantly, willing to be the first to die but not without a fight.

♡ Thunder shook the ground as the HRA rose their blade into the air. The sun shining off the blade onto Sanchoumou's eyes to make them look even more fierce than before. He wasn't going to look away or cower like they wanted. He was going to take it and use whatever strength he had left to cause a scene.

♡ The wind was harshly cut into as the HRA dropped their blade onto Sanchoumou.

♡ Right as it was about to hit the leader of the Fukuoka Ichimonji clan leader, Sanchoumou eyes squeezed out of reflex to take the pain that was about to be inflicted on his already damaged body.... But the pain never came.

♡ His crimson eyes, that matched the blood leaking out of his aching wounds, slowly opened to see the HRA member dissipating in front of him... And a single figure standing there with a dagger piecing into the spine of the enemy.

♡ His Beautiful Little Bird, His Saniwa.

♡ Shock was present on his face until a warm smile found it's way to his features as he got to see the one he wanted to protect more than anything.... And then it quickly turned to fear.

♡ "Little bird, get out of here now!" He screamed more guttural than he intended, letting the fear leak into his words, "It's not safe-"

♡ "Shut it. I'm here to save your lives to listen to me and we will get out of here without a scratch." Her sharp words quickly left Sanchoumou speechless.

♡ She quickly gave orders to the sword she took with her to this location, Hakusan. The only sword that was able to heal others while in battle.

♡ Her arm quickly throwing charms, called Omamori, over to each of the Fukuoka Ichimonji members with precise accuracy. Almost like she had training for many years to hit the target right where she wanted it.

♡ The Omamori was a special type of charm that as long as the Touken Danshi held it, they wouldn't be destroyed. A perfect item to have while Hakusan healed everyone and the team had a better shot at having a comeback from the surprise attack.

♡ A quick flip of the blade and she was off at incredible speeds to deal with the other HRA members until the Ichimonji clan could get back on their feet and were safe from being broken.

♡ Sanchoumou stared at her stunned. He never imagined she would be this amazing on the battlefield. Sure she was a little bossy around the citadel at times but that was something needed in a leader. He always thought she was more of a tactician rather than a commander who joined the battlefield.

♡ She was his little bird. Fierce but still needed protection.

"This whole time I was wrong about this adorable little bird... To think she was hiding such a interesting side to herself... I wonder what else she is hiding from me."

♡ Sanchoumou's torn gloved hand gripped at the charm as he felt his wounds began to close up and strength found itself in his legs to once again be able to stand and join the battle beside his little bird.

♡ Nikkou's feared expression went from Sanchoumou, who almost was killed right before him, to his Saniwa who was fending off the HRA from his back. The Omamori clenched between his fingers as he felt the weight be lifted off his burning body.

♡ His arms shook as he tried to gather all the strength left within him to push himself up off of the soil that was now coated in his fresh blood.

♡ Nikkou's sharp blue eyes gazed back at his boss, who was now standing and looking healthier than he had been a second ago, to his sage. Sanchoumou's impressed smile finding it's way onto Nikkou as well.

"Perhaps Aruji is worth following after all... Being the wings for two people doesn't sound too bad at all."

♡ Nansen's swollen red eyes lingered on his saniwa as he watched her dodge with the grace and cunning of a cat (not like he would know-cough), a sniffle was let out as he rubbed his tear stained face with his dirty hands to try to keep the imagine of his intimidating status as an Ichimonji clan member.

♡ He was already teased enough by Norimune and Sanchoumou over his appearance and not being as intimidating as the rest of the members...

♡ NOW HIS SANIWA WAS SHOWING HIM UP TOO?

♡ Hakusan lingered over him as he healed up the wounds of the cursed cat and Nansen rose to his feet. A determined expression printed on his face... even though tears still threated to fall of his glossy golden eyes.

"I have to show my worth. If Aruji can be this cool and untamed on the battlefield, then so can I! I will show boss just how cool I am like her... nya! NO NOT NYA, DAMNIT!!!"

♡ Norimune let out a breath he wasn't aware he was holding when he saw Saniwa leap into action and save the members of the clan. Sanchoumou and his boys finding the motivation to keep fighting under a strong leader like her.

♡ A proud smile appeared on his face as he looked down at the charm in his hands. To think he would get to witness a sight like this... He saw his fair share of battles and broken swords... But never something like this.

♡ His graze returned to the Saniwa who was doing her all with Sanchoumou, Nikkou, and Nansen by her side. Giving orders on positioning and attacks to ensure none of them would need to use their charms and get hurt.

"To think I would see such a strong leader after all this time... She reminds me of myself back in my youth hahaha. I can't wait to see you make me proud, Aruji. Your potential is bright like the sun that even birds wish to fly within your warm presence."

♡ Norimune leaned back against Hakusan as his wounds were healed, pretending to be much more injured than he was currently to make Hakusan left off tension with yelling at him to get off his lazy butt and help.

♡ Norimune making a comment that Hakusan may be able to heal his fresh wounds but won't be able to heal his aching back and that he would need some hot tea instead.

♡ Himetsuru couldn't help but give an annoyed look at the old man and the situation itself.

♡ His once perfect clean outfit was now dirtied, his body burned, and his hair would need deep cleaning until he could be happy with it again.

♡ He wasn't the biggest fan of almost facing death once again. First almost being shortened and NOW THIS?

♡ A sigh left him as he dusted off his outfit as he stood, watching the battle slowly end before him. A very faint smile on his lips would be easily mistaken as his normal neutral face was on his lips.

♡ He watched as the Saniwa lectured the three boys about not being careful enough before she turned her attention over to Norimune and Himetsuru. Making her way over to them to also give them an earful.

♡ He felt a headache start to fester as he knew what was about to come.

"For saving us... I will listen to your words for now but don't get used to it. A princess should never be bossed around. But a princess should also repay his knight in shining armor... I suppose tonight, I will make sure that no nightmares come your way, Aruji... I hope you sleep well and are greeted to a morning full of birds waiting for your call."

♡ The Fukuoka Ichimonji boys only made it back to the citadel due to their amazingly strong Saniwa. None of the citadel was entirely sure what happened during the expedition but one fact was known, their saniwa was amazing.

♡ The whole Ichiomonji clan held even more respect for her. Sanchoumou saw her more as an equal rather than someone he had to protect. Nikkou began to see her as a true leader that he would willing want to follow. Nansen... A rival as well as an inspiring figure. Someone he wanted to become like. Himetsuru, someone who normally was annoyed by being bossed around, found it was more bearable with her and wished for nothing to torment her brilliant mind. Norimune saw the future within her. Someone who was capable of so many possibilities under her command if she so wished it, and it made him proud of be part of her citadel.

♡ Within one expedition, she gained the respect of many and vowed to always be loyal to whatever she commanded due to their ultimate trust in her beliefs.

[sword-brainrot]

ya got any headcanons for dating nikkou, nankaitarou, and ookurikara pls? seperate. thank you so much for everyhting!

Nikkou Ichimonji,  Nankaitarou Chouson, and Ookurikara Relationship Headcanons (GN Reader)

♡ Nikkou is business and logic first over everything else. He has a hard to understanding emotion and tries empathetic but it seems like he doesn't truly understand. He is a sword to be used in battle and to listen to orders from aruji and Sanchoumou. Emotions are very disconnected from him as a person. Especially romantic emotions.

♡ Nikkou will instantly tense up when he is put in a situation where emotions are high. If you are heart broken about something, he will try to solve it with logic and not truly understand that the situation doesn't need to be solve and that you are hurting emotionally. He tries to understand and will listen to you vent but that is all he really can do for you. He may put a hand on your shoulder in his attempt to comfort you but that is as much as does.

♡ This may seem like he is a robotic person but he really isn't. He just doesn't /understand/. He wants to understand though! He is a protective and loving person all things considered. He has people (Norimune, Sanchoumou, Nansen, Hasebe, Nihongou, Atsushi, Sayo, Hakata, and you) who he knows are special to him and wants nothing more to protect them. It is something he knows for a fact but understanding the complicated emotions connected to all of them is what he doesn't completely understand.

♡ Through the struggle of understanding emotions and breaking down the wall to let himself learn and feel, he is caring and thoughtful person. He may not know what to say or what to do but he cares and will try to listen. If you say you aren't feeling well because mentally you aren't doing well, he will come back later with some stomach meds and tea for you. He tries to help.

♡ It will take a while but eventually he will start to open up and try to do more romantic gestures to show you he wants to open his heart to you. Though you may think he is just trying to be caring and not actually flirt with you. You will know when one night he walks you back to your room and says goodnight with a soft forehead kiss.

♡ He will tense up at any affection you give him because like stated before, he doesn't completely understand and never received such affection in his life. As he slowly gets used to it, you will feel him melt in your grasp and follow your movements. He is not one for words when it comes to expressing his love. Rather he will show you he cares through actions or slight physical affection (holding your hand, soft kisses on the forehead/cheek).

♡ Not a fan of pda (other than hand holding) but surprisingly likes snuggling in your room.

♡ Nikkou is the big spoon, he will not give it up. He feels like that is the most protective position and makes him feel like he is one of your wings to protect you and lift you up.

♡ Nikkou has a special way in showing he wants attention. He will hold your hand underneath the table and rub his thumb over your knuckles. It is his way to say that he is feeling a little needy for affection and willing to try things that he would normally be uncomfortable doing.

♡ Nikkou is also like a mother hen at times. He wants to show he cares but doesn't know exactly how. So expect him nagging you; "Have you eaten?", "How much have you slept?", "Are you well enough to work?", "Have you drank plenty of water?", etc. He worries and cares about you in his own way. Just remember that if you ever get a little annoyed by his constant questions.

♡ Speaking of that, if he ever does something you do not like; Tell him right away. He might not pick up that he is going overboard and needs you to tell him. He won't be angry but will stop. He understands that sometimes he goes too far. Also if you are ever hurt emotionally, you have to explain how you are feeling inside or else he will not get it and be wary around you because he doesn't know how to help or if he would hurt you if he said/did the wrong thing. He truly cares for you but it's still hard for him to completely understand feelings and how emotions can really impact someone.

♡ Unlike the other two, Chouson is pretty expressive. So when I say you are Chouson's favorite person, you know. He always runs to you when he finishes a new invention, medicine, or just to geek out about something new he has learned. It doesn't matter what time it is, he runs to you first. Sometimes... to your displeasure. He gets so excited that he can't even see that it is 3am in the morning and he just woke you up from your deep slumber.

♡ Although Chouson is pretty friendly with all the other swords, you never see him hanging out with them. He is more focused in his own work rather than making friends with everyone. Which also means that he doesn't pick up social cues as well as some others. If he ever wanted to talk about anything, he would go to you.

♡ There hasn't been many in his life that showed any interest in his inventions or ideas. When you express interest and ask him to tell you more, he knew you would special and instantly started to grow attached to you. Prepare for him to talk your ear off, there is so much he wants to talk about and all the ideas he ever had. He has a book filled with many hypothesis and invention ideas. You will be hearing 1/3 by the time he lets you go so you can sleep.

♡ Every morning he is excited to see you because he knows that you truly care about him and what he thinks. It is a new feeling and he gets addicted by the first time you ever said "tell me more."

♡ Chouson does a lot of research on humans to understand them better because he wants to understand you better! He less cares about becoming more human himself. You are his main focus in that research. As soon as he learns about dating and what it means, he goes to you right away to ask you out. At this point, he isn't actually sure if he has romantic feelings for you but he knows you are special to him and wants to keep you close. As well as trying to be a loving boyfriend!

♡ He tries really hard to be a good boyfriend but he is clueless. Don't be shy to give him tips! You will have to guide him a little. Also expect him to read very cheesy romantic novels to understand dating more... Expect very cheesy pickup lines too. ...He is trying.

♡ Over the course of dating, he does develop romantic feelings for you! He probably had them from the start but couldn't recognize his own emotions since he relies so hard on logic rather than emotion. He knows he wouldn't want to do any of this dating stuff with anyone other than you.

♡ If something bothers him or he gets too excited, he will start pacing around the room talking at a speed that you almost can't understand. Lots of rambling too as he gets onto many topics. Drag him over to sit down and he will slowly calm down. His eyes just staring at you with adoration.

♡ His mood changes a lot but being around you helps him keep it in a happy state.

♡ Chouson adores tenderness. He will often overwork himself because he will be so invested in what he is doing. His muscles will be all tense and there will be dark bags under his eyes when he finally adventures into bed. Be sure to give him a small massage and kiss his face. He will surely have a large smile on his face as he gets comfortable and embrace you for the night.

♡ When he is focused, it is hard to get his attention and talk to him. So show it in silent ways how you love him. Get him food, and clothes he can change into. Sometimes it is okay to be a little pushy with him as well when he is pushing himself too far and not getting enough sleep. He may be a little grumpy with you at first but he will understand by the time his head hits the pillow and he falls asleep in an instant.

♡ Ookurikara is not the type of person who looks for relationships. He has an intense fear of getting close to someone and then losing them. It is why he constantly pushes people away and stays by himself. Can't get hurt if no one is close to you.

♡ When he began to develop a crush on you, he was even more distant than before (you didn't even know it was possible). He would cancel any plans that involved you, walked away the moment you sat down next to him, refuse to look you in the eye, and if someone asked him to give you something, he would pass it over to Mitsutada or Sadamune.

♡ It was your kindness and persistence that made him fall for you. You always went out of your way to help the sword that many would shy away from due to his resistance to all of them. You always offered an ear to listen to any concerns he may have, even if he never made face of any problems that may be bugging him under his skin.

♡ He kept pushing you away and tried to cause so much distance that you would hate him or just forget about him. However you stayed... And inside, he was melting.

♡ There has been many times where he would envision holding you and showing you affection only for it to be followed by him holding your wounded body on the battle field. Ookurikara is a sword of war... He knows far too well how fragile life can be.

♡ Most likely, you will have to confess to him first and ask him out. There is no way that Ookurikara will be honest about his feelings unless you make the first move. Even then, he will reply very shortly with "If that is what you want".

♡ Huge fear of abandonment. He will never vocally say it but you will need to reassure him that you would never leave him and that you are safe. Nightmares are a common thing with him after he grows attached to you. He knows what it feels to hold someone close to his heart... And it's terrifying that it can be ripped away so easily.

♡ When he is in a good mood, expect him to have his fingers linger on you. Brushing some hair out of your hair? it stays a little longer than needed. His golden eyes staring down at yours. His hand brushing against yours as you two walk side by side. Behind close doors, he may even pretend he fell asleep just so he could rest his head on your shoulder and feel you right there next to him.

♡ He will get frustrated and upset when you tease him or don't give him what he wants but when it comes to teasing you? Surprising... Rather good at it. He will lean in close to your face but quickly pull away and have a book in his hand, pretending like that was what he was reaching for the whole time. Ookurikara will make you say that you want to kiss him or hold his hand before he would even attempt it. If you tease him, he will make you suffer for it.

♡ Ookurikara.. LOVES sweets. He doesn't look like it but candy and pastries are his favorite. Kashuu and Mitsutada are the only two know of this face. Let's just say, Ookurikara comes back very grumpy when Kashuu teases him over not giving him sweets. Because he can't vocally say he wants them. He has an image to uphold! Please be sure to give him sweets and he will be so happy. May not smile but if he does, it will be small and short.

♡ "You bought too much. Eat them with me or else they will go bad."

♡ Favorite cuddling position is being the big spoon and holding you tight throughout the night. You can't get stolen away if he makes sure you are safe within his arms. It is also the position that nightmares don't happen in so it works out!

♡ When he has nightmares, he will suddenly jolt up in cold sweat. His chest rising and falling with heavy breaths, as if he just got done running for hours. His eyes will be lost in the dark shadows of the room. It's best to gentle hold him in those moments. Don't be scared if he suddenly flinches when you first touch him. He is still lost in his own thoughts at that time. As soon as Ookurikara looks over and sees you, well and untouched. He calms down. His head will slowly hang over and rest on your shoulder. No words spoken. Gently caress his hair and give him soothing words.

♡ "Don't you dare get hurt and go somewhere I can't follow."
