Autumn Troupe‘s Kisses

Banri Settsu, Juza Hyodo, Taichi Nanao, Omi Fushimi, Sakyo Furuichi x gn! reader

Continuing this series because they all deserve love

Spring Troupe‘s Kisses

Summer Troupe‘s Kisses

Banri Settsu…

…kisses mainly to tease and to claim. You‘re reactions to his sudden kisses are just too good to miss out on. Wether it‘s a simple gasp, a squeak, or one of your cute flushed faces; he loves them all. Don‘t pretend to be upset, he‘ll use it against you one way or another. That smug bastard. In addition, he‘s somewhat of a wholesome possessive. He doesn‘t actually get jealous and tries to keep you all to himself in a toxic way. He does, again, as a teasing way. Give him a little smack and watch his playful side crumble with his laugh, leaving a genuine smile on his lips, as he gazes at you as if you were the only light he‘s ever seen.

.

Juza Hyodo…

…kisses with much hesitancy. If it was anyone else in his position, he‘d probably say something like „How much can ya do wrong in a kiss anyways?“, but it is him in his position…Suddenly he wonders if he could hurt you if he puts too much pressure on your lips. As if that would ever be physically possible with how he melts into a puddle during a kiss. He turns completely into mush, mumbling out a little „thanks“ for no other reason than not knowing what else to say.

.

Taichi Nanao…

…kisses with accidental force. Excitement and endless nervousness come together to overload the poor boy. He‘s trying his best to stay leveled, but more often than not you two end up bumping into each other. It‘s not painful or uncomfortable, just enough to notice.

.

Omi Fushimi…

…kisses you casually, and with a warmth and softness that makes you fall for him once again. This gentle giant is just filled with unconditional love and admiration for you, and it shows in absolutely everything he does for you, kisses are no exception. As much as he‘d love to capture every kiss you share in a photograph, he much rather captures them in his mind and heart instead.

.

Sakyo Furuichi…

…kisses you in moments of passion and emotion. As a yakuza, he has to follow certain protocol to keep up appearances, safe to say it has molded into his personality over those many years. Thus, physical touch was not something he was that well acquainted with. Every time your lips meet his, it‘s like everything inside of him explodes in a gigantic firework. It leaves him speechless for just a moment, before he manages to regain his posture. With every kiss, he hopes he can make you feel just as incredibly loved as you him.

~🎕

└── ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ ••✎•• ──────────

≿━━━━༺❀ banri settsu ❀༻━━━━≾

✿ you were an aspiring stuntman, to the stress of your parents. but unfortunately someone of your age didn't get a lot of opportunities, least of all in films, so you decided to turn to the world of theatre acting and find work there.

✿ you were 18, on your first year in university though you unsurprisingly weren't particularly focused on your studies. banri was a year younger than you, at 17.

✿ you'd already been scouted for the autumn troupe, as izumi thought that it was the troupe that needed someone for more challenging roles. and when banri came into "audition" and bad mouthed you, he got a fist to the face faster than ever before. you subsequently realized what you did and refused to come out of your room for the next two days.

✿ you and banri were assigned to room together (on sakyo's orders). it did not start out good, as banri kept trying to get you to actually fight him, while you adamantly refused to even speak to him. it wasn't until you had to actually start practicing that you were actually forced to talk.

✿ for banri, it was love at first sight. sort of, anyways. he's always been attracted to people who can beat his ass (even if he didn't particularly pick up on it) but your 'take-no-shit' attitude really hit it home. at first you didn't like banri, and then you just got embarrassed by your behavior. how could you just punch someone, no matter how annoying they are? and then having to room with him... well, you debated locking yourself away in your room for the rest of eternity. away from him.

≿━━━━༺❀ juza hyodo ❀༻━━━━≾

✿ you were the charismatic leader of the theatre club at your school, but as you were soon set to graduate you wanted to find a more permanent spot to continue acting at. thankfully, you'd recently been informed of the mankai company by a friend of yours.

✿ you were 17, the same age as juza. you'd been into acting since you were way too young to remember, but you'd not seriously started doing it until you were in high school.

✿ it was even prior to the audition, when juza came to your club room to ask you to give him acting lessons. delighted by his "enthusiasm" you gladly said you'd teach him, which turned out to be a bit too big of a promise. but you weren't ready to give up on him, not if he was to become a co-actor of yours.

✿ you had two weeks until audition, and you promised to spend all your free time teaching juza. you'd meet up at your place every few days, and though juza was a hard student to have, you did manage some progress during your two weeks.

✿ juza had admittedly had a huge crush on you for years, as had most of the omega population of the school. but actually meeting you, he couldn't help but grow an even deeper love for you and your passion for acting. juza was admittedly a difficult student in the art of acting, but you could respect his love for the craft. so even if you struggled to keep from screaming whenever he monotonously recited another line, you didn't out of sheer liking for him and his silly ways.

≿━━━━༺❀ taichi nanao ❀༻━━━━≾

✿ you were a nihon buyo dancer, as your oma had been, and her oma before her. you were actually the first alpha in your family to take on the practice, but as an only child it was to be expected. but you weren't quite satisfied with your craft, and thought that some theatre acting practice could help you improve.

✿ you were 17, and under the tutelage of your oma still. unfortunately for her, you were starting to really hit that phase where you wanted independence. taichi was 16 at the time.

✿ you'd just had another argument with your oma, which led to you storming off. you ended up stewing on a park bench by yourself, where taichi happened to catch sight of you, and being a gentleman raised by two alpha's went over to comfort the distressed omega. you were not happy to discover his assumption later on.

✿ while you were initially not very happy about being approached casually, taichi had the sort of puppy energy that made you forgive him quickly. that, and he listened to you rant for almost an hour and didn't complain, which made him pretty good in your eyes.

✿ taichi just thought that you were a pretty omega, as with his limited world view he'd never even considered an alpha doing an elegant hobby like dancing. probably why he didn't particularly mind your "weirdly" strong personality. to you, taichi came across as a cute little puppy, a little omega with a good heart. so, he was the cutest thing you'd ever seen. though your upset mind didn't really pick up on it instantly, you had already grown a bit of a crush on him.

≿━━━━༺❀ omi fushimi ❀༻━━━━≾

✿ you were... well, you were the leader of a biker gang. you'd been one for three years already, though you were slowly starting to doubt the lifestyle you'd chosen and were thinking of quitting. but you still needed a small nudge to take that step

✿ you were 20, a year older than omi. you'd been part of your biker gang for six years at that point, and became the leader at 17 after the sudden death of your previous leader.

✿ you were staring at a shelf of cleaning supplies, having an internal crisis in the middle of a grocery store. you didn't really mean to, but you'd been thinking about your life for days now. and a certain photographer was staring at you in turn, wondering what the hell you were doing. he really needed to get to those cleaning supplies. you almost screamed when he finally tapped you on the shoulder.

✿ after almost kick-dropping omi to the floor, you reluctantly apologize and help him with his groceries. omi didn't actually mind (he understood the instinctual reaction) but was grateful anyways, which ended up with him rambling about his life, which made something with you click.

✿ omi didn't take long to realize what kind of life you'd lived (or were still living, he wasn't sure), and he felt rather bad. he'd never want anybody to live the kind of life he had in high school (oh, if only he knew). he was hoping you'd turn out fine. you had never met such a pretty man before, especially not one so kind. for the first time in a long time you felt bad for the instincts instilled in you since your youth, and hearing him talk about his life made you think about exactly how badly your life was going.

≿━━━━༺❀ sakyo furuichi ❀༻━━━━≾

✿ you were the child of a yakuza boss, though you weren't particularly interested in your appa's work. instead, you loved acting and dancing, which she didn't particularly agree with but was glad to see you happy. you, on the other hand, didn't care for her opinion on the matter.

✿ you were 6, the same age as sakyo. you were living full-time with your appa, who'd actually inherited the group from your oma who'd died a few years ago.

✿ you were on veludo way with one of your appa's subordinates, who was assigned to babysit you. it didn't take long for you to run away from them though, and end up at a certain theatre company where a group was rehearsing. there, a little stern looking boy caught your attention and you immediately decided that he had to be yours.

✿ after actually talking to sakyo (read as: you talked his ear off while he kept wondering where you appeared from), you kept showing up to the mankai company practices, both to see them and to talk to sakyo, who you were absolutely determined to make your friend.

✿ sakyo was mostly confused by you. you showed up out of nowhere, declared him your new friend, and kept showing up to talk about the magic of acting. at least that last part he could tolerate, but you did initially weird him out, a lot. you weren't really certain what about sakyo made him so interesting to you, you just knew that he was. so even when he was less than enthusiastic about your offers of friendship, you didn't take them particularly seriously. nothing would make you give him up.

≿━━━━༺❀ azami izumida ❀༻━━━━≾

✿ you were pretty much a common thug. you'd like to describe yourself otherwise, but you weren't dumb, you knew that you didn't mean much more to the yakuza group you were part of. it was just the lot in life you were born to.

✿ you were 14, while azami was 13. far too young for the life you were living, but having been born into a yakuza family you didn't have much of a choice.

✿ you were really just on a walk, having nothing better to do when you laid eyes on a very lost looking boy who you immediately recognized as a rivalling group's leader's kid. you weren't really sure what to do in a situation like this, but you couldn't let such an opportunity pass you by. so you immediately went up to him, under the guise of wanting to help.

✿ azami was looking for a make-up store, which you rather easily directed him to. you didn't really care for it, but your oma liked experimenting with her make-up. this seemed to get azami comfortable enough to start talking to you, which lead to the topic of his dreams. something about listening to him made you think.

✿ azami didn't actually pay much attention to you at first, really only interested in finding the damn make-up store. but once he actually started talking, and got one look at your amazed face, something in his chest jumped a little. you also didn't really pay much attention to the kid at first, beyond his usefulness to you. but once he started talking... something about his passion for such a mundane thing (to you) was so endearing. you were certain that you just fell in love.

VS Thieves Gang / 3

Thief: … Somehow I managed to give them the slip. 

Chikage: Hey, I’ve been waiting for you.

Misumi: Give Chikage’s handbag back!

Thief: W-Who the hell are you!?

Even the police! Damn it, I’ll definitely run away…!

*Short  timeskip*

Thief: I’ve come this far, they’ll no doubt…

Chikage: I was allowed to go ahead of you.

Thief: What…!?

Misumi: Ahaha, somehow this feels like that time right! Chikage is really cool~! (*)

Chikage: Yeah. That was when we were chasing a thief in front of the dorm right. 

Thief: Why do you always go ahead of me wherever I go no matter what…!

Chikage: I’m good at chasing after people.

Chikage: …Well then, may I have my deposited things back.

Thief: Deposited things… So that’s you, the four-eye the other day! This machine, no way, a GPS!?

Misumi: I told you–, just give up~!

Thief: There’s no way I’d let you catch me! If this is a GPS, I’ll win if I throw it and run away!

Omi: …That’s enough.

Thief: I got caught!? If that’s the case I’ll break through––.

Omi: I told you this is enough!!

Thief: Eek!?

Misumi: Ah– You’ve been knocked down!

Chikage: Haha, Omi’s strength is amazing.

Policeman: Secure, secure! We have arrested the remaining member of the thieves gang…

*Shifts to ceremony*

Kai: Omi-nii, is it really fine for us to receive a letter of appreciation?

Gaku: That’s right–. Chikage-san and Misumi-san deserve this more than us, don’t they?

Omi: That’s not it, thanks to you guys, we were able to arrest the thieves gang. Not only the police, but Chikage-san and Misumi were also grateful.

Kai: Y-Yeah, that’s great but…

Announcer: Well then, Fushimi Omi-san, Kai-san, Gaku-san, please come to the podium.

*Short timeskip*

Gaku: Fuu~, it ended safely–!

Omi: Haha, somehow I was a little embarrassed.

Police staff: Excuse me, do you have a moment?  There are a few requests I’d like to ask MANKAI Company-san.

Omi: Not to us, but to our theater troupe? What is it?

Police staff: Actually…

*Shifts to Veludo Way* 

Omi: I didn’t expect the three of us would be the chief of police for a day…

Misumi: I think Director-san and Sakyo support us a lot!

Chikage: Well, we were told that we can also advertise our theater troupe.

Omi: This is a theater town, so they told us that a collaboration with a theater troupe would help promote crime prevention…

Chikage: But I think that police staff suggested it simply because he is a fan of MANKAI Company.

Misumi: Anyway, now that it’s decided, let’s do our best~! Salute!

Ahaha, I feel like I’ve become a real policeman!

Omi: Haha, you’re right.

By the way… Both of you, thank you so much for protecting my brothers.

Misumi: That’s natural! I know younger brothers are important to you, since I also have one!

Chikage: That’s right, it’s natural to protect your family.

Omi: …You’re right.

Event | Sanrio characters x A3! | Chapter 8

Citron: Well then, let’s give it our ball at today’s practice again!

Guy: Give it a fall? Why would we want to fall?

Masumi: Not ball or fall, give it our all.

Citron: That! Jeez, Guy is even messing up here too.

Tasuku: There’s a lot of people leaving Puroland, huh.

Azuma: Fufu, everyone’s smiling… Oh?

Child: Waa~ah!

Mother: It’s time to go home now.

Child: No! I don’t wanna go home yet! Uuue~e!

Taichi: I feel you, little guy, I feel you…!

Kazunari: IKR. Leaving a theme park is like waking up from a dream and then being back in reality, it’s re~al sad.

Kumon: If that were me, I’d wanna stay and play more too.

Itaru: That’s def a theme park mood.

Yuki: Someday, it’ll just be a nice memory.

Mother: C’mon, let’s say bye-bye to Kitty-chan and her friends, okay?

Child: No, no, no! I don’t wanna say bye-bye!!

Sakuya: …

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Izumi: Alright, let’s take a short break.

Omi: Practice is going pretty well. I think we’re getting to a really good point.

Sakyo: Agreed. But there are still areas we can improve on, like blah, blah, blah…

Azami: And it’s started… Every damn time with his stupid long-ass speeches…

Izumi: …Ahaha.

Sakuya: …

Citron: …

Citron: There is something not right with Sakuya today.

Itaru: …You think so too, Citron?

Masumi: …Well, he has been kinda quiet. And he seems kinda out of it.

Izumi: There was nothing wrong with his acting… But something is definitely up.

Chikage: I hope he’s not trying to keep something all to himself.

Tsuzuru: I’ll try and talk to him.

Izumi: Me too!

Tsuzuru: Something up, Sakuya?

Izumi: Is there something on your mind, Sakuya-kun?

Sakuya: Tsuzuru-kun… Director… I was just a little lost in thought.

Sakuya: …Can we really just have a story about having fun?

Tsuzuru: Eh?

Sakuya: …No, it’s nothing! Just pretend you didn’t hear that!

Tsuzuru: …If you need anything, you can always talk to me, okay?

Izumi: (Sakuya-kun… I hope he’s okay.)

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Sakuya: …

*Flashback*

Child: No! I don’t wanna go home yet! Uuue~e!

*Flashback end*

Tenma: Sakuya, you coming or not?

Sakuya: !

Sakuya: Sorry! I just spaced out for a bit…

Sakuya: …

Tenma: …

Sakuya: …Tenma-kun.

Tenma: Hm?

Sakuya: Is it really okay just to do a play about having fun?

Sakuya: Just having fun, just smiling… But is that really all there is to it?

Tenma: …Depends on the situation.

Tenma: Like, Summer Troupe specializes in comedies, right? So comedy is the majority of it…

Tenma: Some of our stories are just funny ones about passionate friendship, but some are a little more sad, and make you feel nostalgic.

Tenma: But it all depends on how we want the audience to feel and what we want to put into our plays.

Tenma: And like how Autumn Troupe and Winter Troupe have lots of stories about not being able to be saved. But people still like to come and see those stories.

Sakuya: Yeah, I guess you’re right.

Tenma: People come to watch sad stories that make you cry, or thrilling stories that have you at the edge of your seat…

Tenma: And people come to see stories that are so stupid you’ll laugh until your stomach hurts.

Tenma: So there’s nothing wrong with having a story just about having fun. But it depends on whether or not that’s what you want to convey to the audience.

Sakuya: What kind of story I want to tell… What… I want to convey…

Sakuya: Got it… Thanks, Tenma-kun. I’ll try to think about it.

Tenma: No problem.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Banri: …So how’s somethin’ like that?

Izumi: Sounds good. I’ll check with the staff.

Banri: Thanks.

Banri: Hm? Sakuya?

Banri: You wanna talk to Director-chan? We just finished up our meeting.

Sakuya: I’m not really here for anything in particular…

Sakuya: …

Banri: Is it about the show?

Sakuya: …Eh.

Banri: Figured.

Izumi: Sakuya-kun, you were saying something about it before, right?

Sakuya: …

Sakuya: … I was… Wondering if the story was really good enough.

Sakuya: The show I saw at Puroland brought smiles to all of the audience’s faces.

Sakuya: I’ll never forget that sight. It made me think that I want to do a play like that.

Sakuya: But when I saw a kid crying because they didn’t want to leave, I couldn’t help but wonder.

Sakuya: The more fun you have, the harder the sadness and loneliness hit after the fact.

Sakuya: Adults can understand that, but little kids can only take that sadness and loneliness at face value.

Sakuya: Someday, it'll just be a nice memory, but it’s hard for a little kid to understand things like that now.

Sakuya: Tsuzuru-kun’s story is wonderful. It’s a gentle and fun story that’ll make everyone smile. But…

Sakuya: I really want people to take home the memories of the fun they had as souvenirs. And I just kept thinking about that…

Izumi: …I see.

Sakuya: Tenma-kun asked me what kind of story I wanted to tell. But my thoughts are kinda all over the place, so I still don't have an answer.

Sakuya: Sorry. We’re already pretty far into rehearsals, and now I’m just telling you this.

Banri: You’re really sensitive to this kinda stuff, huh, Sakuya.

Sakuya: Eh.

Banri: I ain’t as nice and good-natured as you. So I never woulda thought about somethin’ like that.

Banri: Guessin’ that’s the perspective of someone who works at a daycare, huh?

Sakuya: Ahaha… I guess so.

Banri: But you should really get better at conveying this stuff to the people around you.

Banri: Even if you can’t figure out the answer yourself, someone else might have the solution.

Banri: You might be able to get more ideas by listenin’ to someone else’s perspective.

Izumi: Yeah, I think so too. …Fufu, Banri-kun pretty much said it all.

Banri: My bad.

Sakuya: …I guess you’re right. Thank you so much, Banri-kun, Director.

Banri: No problem.

Banri: I mean, it ain’t easy talkin’ about something that’s supposed to make everyone in the audience smile.

Sakuya: …Ah.

Banri: Well, ya gotta have pretty high aspirations to do it.

Izumi: I think it’s a wonderful objective to have.

Sakuya: …Yeah.

Please enjoy! 💕

Celebrating your birthday (Omi/Kazunari x Reader)

Omi

“Oh? Something smells really good!”

“It does! Ah, good morning, Omi-san!”

“Morning, Taichi, Sakuya.” The photographer peeks from the counter of the kitchen, watching the two boys walking in. He hands them the plates for that morning's breakfast and continues to mix the glaze just as they begin to eat. Maybe he should add a bit more of granulated sugar for more consistency. “Your both early. Going somewhere?”

“We wanted to go to Veludo for some improvs since we are both free today.” the spring leader explains smiling at Taichi, who nods in agreement, cheeks already full of food. “Sakyo-san asked if we could distribute some flyers for Winter troupe’s new play as well.”

“I see. Remember to take some jackets with you, it’s getting colder.”

“We will!” they reply in unison.

“Osu.”

“Morning, Juza-san!”

The university student grabs his own plate, stalling near the counter, eyeing the current situation. “…you bakin’ a cake?” he finally asks.

“Mhm...? Oh, yeah. Don’t worry, I’ve planned to make some muffins as well using the same ingredients. They’ll be done for when you all come back this afternoon.”

“Oh man, that’s right!” mouth still half full, Taichi gets up from the table and runs next to Juza who still watches Omi move around the kitchen. “Today was Y/N-san birthday, wasn’t it? Are they going to come?”

“Oh! Should we decorate the dorm a bit then?” Sakuya suggest. Juza nods in agreement, and Omi smiles at the considerated thoughts.

“They are a bit busy today so I’m just going to pop at their house later. I’ll ask them if they would like to come though. It's been a while after all.”

“Yeah! But let us know so we can prepare something beforehand!”

“Also please congratulate Y/N-san for us!”

"Yeah."

Omi chuckles. “I will.”

.

.

.

The autumn member rings the bell two times as per usual, merely to let you know he’s about to enter and not scare you. He takes the copy of your apartment from his pocket and opens the door.

“I’m here,” he announces. A shiver runs throuoght his body immediately, the warm of the entrance contrasting with the outside.

“Come in! I’m almost done,” your voice sounds distant from the entrance, most likely from your bedroom. “Are you early or was I late? I barely arrived.”

“I might have left the studio a bit earlier.” He concedes as he takes off his shoes. After leaving the cake in the fridge, Omi heads towards your room. He opens the door, and you think it's sweet, how he always knocks, even if the bedroom itself was already half open. “Hey.” He greets fondly, hand still on the handle.

You leave the stuff you were carrying on the bed and walk up to him with open arms, silently asking to be embraced by him. Once you two separate he leans in, kissing you on the lips.

“Happy birthday, Y/N.”

The words come out soft, making your giggle. “Thank you.” Not having let go of his embrace yet you squeeze him and sigh, enjoying his smell. You let your chin rest on his chest, prompting you to look up and him stare down into your eyes. “So… were you able to make the cake?”

He has to laugh at your pleading tone, as if there was any doubt he would have baked ten had you asked. “Of course.” The answer makes you squeal. “Are you sure you don't want to do anything else? Taichi and the others wondered whether you were coming tonight. They wanted to decorate the place.”

You find the gesture sweet, but you can't help but roll your eyes amused, because it’s not the first, nor third or fifth time he has asked you that— Omi was more than anything an attentive boyfriend after all. You separate and shake your head, walking out of the bedroom into the living room, the autumn actor following close.

“I’m already doing what I wanted, relaxing with my favourite person. I’ll make a fuzz other day."

You two sit on the sofa, talking about the dorm for a bit and ultimately opting to let them know you'd go another day most of them would be there for a visit.

As Omi writes on his mobile, you drop down next to him, watching him text. Just as you are about to yawn the autumn member lifts one of his arms, offering you to pull your head down and comfortably rest on his lap— which you do without wasting a second, of course. He always had the best intuition about what you needed.

“Exhausting day?”

“Mhm. It’s better now that you are here.”

You look up at him with the sort of smile that always makes his knees turn weak. He leaves the phone and begins to caress your hair. “Were you able to finish that thing?”

“Almost. I should now just…”

You continue talking a bit more about your day, mentioning something funny that had happened and carrying on about a few friends you had mentioned to him before. Meanwhile, Omi takes a moment to enjoy your body weight and warmth against his. How while you are talking, one of your hands had begun stroking his arm distractedly.

You looked like a beautiful picture.

“Omi, you there?”

His eyes focus again once you call for him. Immediately, he laughs. “I am. I was suddenly thinking it’s a pity I didn’t bring the camera. You look pretty.”

“I disagree. I must look like a mess.”

“Not to me.”

You groan, embarrassed but at this point not surprised at the things your boyfriend could not help but say with such ease. You place a hand on his cheek, drawing him toward you with your eyes.

You are still laying on his lap, so Omi has to bends over. He first bumps his nose against yours, making you laugh, and his gold eye softens. There’s now a faint sound of rain coming from the windows, blankets asking to be taken out of the drawer. Instead of moving, however, you caress the photographer’s lips with your thumb – they are a bit chapped, you notice. Must be the cold.

At the motion Omi barely registers his actions, melting under your touch. He moves to kiss your hair. Your forehead. Your nose. You let yourself be pampered, enjoying the ticklish sensation in your tummy. Soon, his hot breath lays on your lower lip when he exhales and ultimately gives in, pressing your lips together again.

The autumn member had never considered himself a big kisser, but he had to admit he had become used to them, or rather in need of them. As a greeting, as a thank you, as an apology, as a way of saying “good luck” or “take your time”. You open your mouth a bit more, your hand reaching the back of his neck, and he indulges further, wondering if you know how his body trembles under your touch. Electricity and warmth clashing altogether.

Eventually, you two separate. Your cheeks are flushed - his face feels hot too, so he’s probably looking similar. You blink. “Wow, are you sure we have cake? I was totally believing I was just now receiving my present.”

Omi laughs. “We do. Should I go get it out of the fridge?”

You can't help but smile happily. This was indeed all you needed for your special day.

“You just read my mind.”

Kazunari

“Aaaaand we’re here!”

You let your body fall unceremoniously onto the cafe’s chair, a mix of relief and pain coming from your mouth. You would have been embarrassed by the sound, hadn’t it been for the fact that all you could feel right now were your sore feet. “I don’t think I can take one more step for the next half hour, Kazu.”

“Okidoke! Your wishes are my command~” He looks at the queue formed and turns back to you, signalling it with his head. “I’m gonna go get something yummy to refresh us in the meantime. You stay here and relax those cute feet, all right?” He says, winking at you and pressing a loud kiss onto your forehead. You laugh. How could he have any energy left?

You place some bags left on the floor on the chair next to you, nodding gratefully. “Thanks.”

“Don’t miss me too much!”

You shake your head amused. It's a perfectly sunny day, so the cafe seems a little bit busier than one would think given the time, although surprisingly not loud at all. You look around, taking in the warm atmosphere. There are photographs and paintings decorating the walls with some faint music playing in the background as well. You smile to yourself and decide that you like it, even if it wasn’t exactly a place you could decide to come on a whim. You two had walked a lot, to reach where you were.

"Y/N?” A young man wearing the cafe’s uniform walks towards you, his hands carrying a pile of trays, used cups and cutlery. You somehow recall him being one of Kazunari’s friends from university. Miyuki, you want to believe? It wasn’t helpful that Kazunari almost never called them by their actual names, opting to use nicknames.

“I knew I recognized you, how are you doing! Are you and Kaz here?” he continues talking, looking around. “It’s been impossible to catch him lately.”

“Hi! You tell me.” You can’t help but chuckle. “He’s over the counter getting our drinks.”

“Is that so…? Ah, I see him now. Sup, Kaz! Took you some time to finally show up, man!”

Arriving back to the table, the summer member recognizes the worker immediately. “Miyon? Didn’t know you were on your shift! Lucky~”

“So, what do you think?”

“What do I think? This place is lit just like you said! I can’t wait to snap some cool shots, especially of the drawings. They match the aesthetic the best!”

The comment makes Miyuki beam with pride. “You know, the owner actually commissioned me for a few of them. That one and that one.” He pointed rising his chin towards them, since his hands weren’t available.

“I knew they were familiar. So Miyon’s like, they look bomb!”

“Coming from one of our class rising star’s I’ll take it as the truth.” he gave a hearty laugh, shifting the big tray of used cups and plates from one hand to the other. “You know what, I’m going to go grab you two some new pastry we have yet to sell. They are delicious and I doubt we are going to be able to finish all of them anyway.”

“Uh?” you had disconnected slightly, so the sudden invitation perplexed you. “But…”

“Come on! It’s your birthday, right Y/N? Consider it a present!”

The young man doesn’t wait to hear your response as he speeds off, reminding you he was indeed Kazunari’s friend. You look at your boyfriend and once he notices you he shrugs and smiles.

“It would be rude to reject him, don’t you think? Besides Miyon’s right, you gotta let yourself be pampered, Y/N!”

“Still, by your friends?”

“Of course!”

Being the summer member significant other meant almost everybody knew you. At least up to some degree, since the blond always liked to solidify his affection by capturing you in photos, videos or instablam stories.

You gave it some thought for a few more seconds before giving in. “This place is really beautiful though. I’m surprised we’ve never been here before.” You notice your favorite drink on the tray. Happy he remembered, you stretch your arm to take it and lay back sipping at the visibly proud art student.

“Right? Miyon actually talked to me not too long ago, and then I thought it fitted your style so frigging much? So when I noticed it was on the area for our birthday date celebration it was a no brainer!”

You shake your head amused. Being Kazunari’s partner also meant you are most likely to be carried away with his hyper energetic self, which skied through the roof more than usual during special events, one of them of course being your birthday. So, when he appeared at your house at the first flush of the morning to begin a get-you-hyped, woot woot, totally fire day! You made peace with your mind and body for anything he could have planned.

“Thank you.” You smiled at Kazunari’s friend once he came back with the cute pastry.

"No prob! Enjoy the rest of your birthday, Y/N!”

You are about to dig when Kazunari yawps, taking his phone out toward you. “Literally pay no mind to me, you are just looking too cute it'd be a crime if I don't do this!”

You stare at his shiny green eyes and contain a chuckle, leaving him be. You have lost count of the number of pictures Kazunari has taken of both of you and well, you alone at this point today.

.

.

.

“Aw, you look totes adorbs in this one! Oh, and here? Hello?” He coos as his fingers go through the multiple photos. By now you two had left the café, with a promise to come back soon. He lets out a dreamy sigh, shaking his head. “Man, I would totally hit on you.”

“Kazu, we are dating.”

"Exactly!" In the smoothest way you could have thought of, the summer member grabs your hand and kisses your knuckles, taking the opportunity to intertwine your hand with his own, refusing to let go. “So I can gush over you as much as I want. Hey, have I told you about my latest theory about how I totally think we were lovers in another life?”

You rise your eyebrows amused, letting him explain. It used to fluster you at first, being the focus of someone who was so incredibly vocal and physical about what he liked. Still, it makes you happy to be cared for. To be with someone that cannot wait to show the world how much you mean to him.

“All right, Casanova. Time out." Eventually cut his well-detailed explanation, poking playfully at his chest with your free hand. "Since my feet are now well rested and my tummy is full. Anything else planned?”

Of course, his eyes immediately light up, and you find his giddiness to be infectious as he lists several suggestions.

Once you decide on a destination, there's a bit of a silent walk for a while -not the usual, since he was quick to fill the silences, knowing there was no obligation to respond to him. This time however you lean against his arm, listening to him simply humming that song he's been listening to nonstop lately. From time to time he nuzzles you, and you squeeze his hand back.

Kazunari was your confidence-booster, your arms to cry and safe place when you didn't feel the best, your inspiration, your soulmate as he cheesily presented you to his friends. And god, you couldn't be more grateful.

"Kazu?"

"I'm all ears~"

“I... Thank you for always making me feel special. Not just today for my birthday but... you know, every day.”

The blond flashes hotter for a second, the spontaneity a surprising but welcomed feeling. People would agree Kazunari could be a bit overwhelming when it came to showing affection, but many would be surprised by just how much a simple sentence like that was enough to make him crumble and his stomach flutter for the rest of the day.

Because to feel appreciated by others call it friends or fans was one thing. But by you? Man, that was a reward of its own. He grins, unable to contain the burst of emotion in his spirit. “Duh! That's because I'm a Y/N expert!” he wraps his arms around you pulling you closer, staring at you with love and warmth -hoping to memorize every detail he was feeling. "Plus, you totally deserve it." He pecks your lips.

You better be prepared, because now he would make extra sure to continue to make every single day more special than the latter.

[amouramuro]

Bored and in the middle of procrastinating, then i got a silly idea to make a (not so) tierlist of a3 x hsr combo like what would a3 boys' path would be. Also to make this blog looks more alive xoxo

There are two types here. Left is their path as playable characters (aka ur standard dps/support/survival units), right is their path as in mindset/philosophy/religion/you name it.

Ofc this is all headcanons of mine and what i personally think about them. Gotta admit im getting rusty with their characterizations since ive been in a very long a3 dormancy... Im most confident with my assesment towards fuyu, then haru, aki close second to haru, and im least confident with natsu (sorry natsu peeps). And surely there are very stereotypical takes i put here

Elaborations or thoughts-behind-the-screen under this

First off, the game mechanic path:

I think i based this one on a mixed consideration of physical prowess + tendency when doing something, like manifestation of thoughts, or so they say

Destruction trio, ofc we all know their physical strength. Guy is like default dps in my head and i feel like his mechanic can be somewhat blade-like (im projecting two of my faves here, if im not obvious enough). Misumi reminds me of yunli with her parry kits, idk it just seems so misumi. Juza can be any destruction unit available in game rn, like hes canonically the most feared delinquent in that area around ouka and even the neighbouring districts.

Erudition trio, the aoe dmg dealer. First off homare because this absolute theater kid with extravagant flair and movements proven in anime and stage will just make me scream erudition. You cant tell me he isnt hitting all 5 mobs in one go with his kit. He reminds me of argenti so much. Sakyo deals with the five aki brats on daily basis so you know the gist. Also his kit being able to do aoe is in line with his efficiency-centered ass. Tenma is very loud /pos, and such a center of the show being an established actor himself, i feel like erudition unit fits him because he can deal with many people at the same time (im blabbering here, forgive me tenma stans)

Hunt quartet here, i feel like they dont need much explanation. Chikage hisoka masumi and banri seems very befitting as one-target dps/nukes, focusing on one hard hitting move per turn, good with enemies who dont do summons. Their physical prowess is made for that, me thinks

Abundance trio, well what more can i say. I mean i know omi is in akigumi but i feel like hes so gallagher coded dont u think. A buff guy can be a healer guys wink wink. Hes quite a pacifist guy in the roster and the fact that he cooks, simply healer. Sakuya my brightest sun my lovely son, it is just canonical that he has healing aura to everyone and everywhere. Same goes with muku!

Nihility quartet or dare i say line up of my favorite people /j. But like ofc, these people may not be the hardest hitting unit in the game but they provide debuffs and dots to the enemy. Very befitting of how these people, azuma tsumugi yuki and citron, behave in the stories. I would split tsumugi yuki as pure debuffer (dmg taken, def shred, etc you name it) unit, while azuma citron as dots sub dps (small initial hits, but they will k you over the time)

Harmony quartet, there are various reasons. Wan wan combi seems befitting with the roles of buffing and cheering their team up. Azami sure buffs too but with less cheers than the wan wan combi lol. And itaru would love to just provide buffs without needing to hit that much. He just loves to put workload to others if he could, doesnt he

Preservation trio, aka people with so much patience and resilience (i made it up). I know tasuku feels like that big bad buff guy who can hit you hard, but like personally hes a pacifist guy yknow. He can hit if he wants to but problem is ge doesnt want to. Thus i think this gym bros physical potential then can be utilized as shield more, like this guy got high def to shield his teammates. Hes just like gepard if u think about it... Anyways kumon also has good physical prowess being a baseballer himself. Im very ignorant when it comes to baseball and its terms, but well i feel like since he has a high mental and physical resilience as well he fits being a shielder. Tsuzuru, boy, he has 9 siblings. I think thats enough reason.

Onto the path as their base philosophy/religion/mindset/whatever terms throw it here:

This one is based on, as ive stated, mindset or philosophy that bases their action. Their idealism, of sort. Or aspects of themselves that may not be always visible/present. This one is harder istg this is like forcing me to do a character study. Anyways.

Erudition banri and guy. I feel like its just befitting of them. They may not be voluntarily choosing to follow Nous, like probably the intelligentsia guild. Theyre probably more like people who got the gaze of Nous instead. Since banri literally excels in everything he does, i go with the interpretation that he might be able to gain Nous' gaze, if this aspect of him is elevated inside the hsr universe. Guy is canonically smart as well and his early element being "of an android" reminds me of screwllum, if hes not a robot and just someone who thinks he is when he isnt. Like doing complicated mental math? Thats sexy and brainy and amazing and sexy and- gets dragged off the stage

Preservation duo... Also fits their game mechanic path... Well i guess. I mean again, their mental endurance seems befitting of a qlipoth followers. It doesnt have to be so devoted like they could be like regular belobogians. Obvs not ipc like fuck that imperialist institution okay /hj

These two father-son hunt duo, also befitting of their game mechanic. Obvs im taking the pattern of chikage's organization and revenge for august. Meanwhile masumi is a bit of a reach here since he couldve been an atheist/not following certain path. But im using the lone wolf interpretation of their characters that just wanders around the galaxy to help those in need and to uphold justice whenever they could

Now talk about nihility "follower", well as you guys already know, there is no such thing as IX's followers since the concept of nihility itself doesnt allow for such possibilities. But then again IX's gaze befalls anyone anywhere no matter how much they want to avoid it. I think of them three as doctor of chaos instead, those who have seen the despair, the nothingness, the futility—yet they want to prove there is still meaning behind it all, in everything IX deems meaningless. Tasutsumu and their fallout and their view on things they valued (godza and acting). Meanwhile juza have a lot of nihilist view about himself as well, but still want to change or be able to do better despite whats given in him

Yet another congruence of philosophy and mechanic, omi and muku is just abundance. As we all know the antagonization of abundance/yaoshi is just a xianzhounian propaganda led by lan guys /j. Ofc as we all know too aeon and their path merely represent a basic concept that is neither wrong or right, good or bad, just or unjust. I just think that omi and muku have that gentleness, altruism, benevolent nature. Not to say this in the naivety kind of way, but well the gentleness persist despite that many violence and turbulence that happened

Harmony guys yeahhh. Ofc the artists, the performers, those who wants to unite people with their art. Saur penaconian. They simply loves the harmony of the diversity, of many different colors

Now sakyo is the sunday of the previous trio /j. But idk i mean he could be a pathless type of person. Hes still a very orderly person and maybe despite not being so devout, he follows the path of ena like secularly. Meh, hes very much into order in canon as well we can see

Elation duo aha. Well, misumi is just a force of nature untamable and he is simply seeking joy (read: triangles) in everything he sees. Meanwhile itaru sure loves joy of playing video games amirite itaru. His laziness truly can land him in nihility but that would be too depressing. Again, they are truly the joy seeker

Trailblazer duo yeaahh. To seek of the unknown, to trail a path never been discovered before, to broaden the horizon. Seems so very sakuya and citron. Their trailblazing spirit is just so strong

Enigmata duo of the two most mysterious people in mankai company /j. I mean they both can be a follower of remembrance as well, since the motives of past and memories are very strongly present in their characterization and stories. Since enigmata and THEIR followers, by lore, are treated akin to Nanook and Anti Matter Legion, so like defo antagonist. So if we want a more friendly approach, memokeeper hisoka and azuma sounds befitting as well.

Last but not least, idrillas follower. Have i told you that argenti reminds me a lot of homare (or vice versa). Yeah. Like ofc homare the appreciator of beauty in the universe, the ever so gentlemanly knight, his name literally means honor yall. Homare is just knight of beauty coded. Meanwhile yuki and azami, well very stereotypical but hey they do appreciate beauty in every forms. They may not be part of knights of beauty and idrilla is long gone/disappeared, but their faith in beauty can persist

Alright i guess thats all i currently remember about these categorization. Ofc again this is just my headcanon and interpretation of the characters and lores in both games. I had fun (and suffer a bit) in making these crossover of my favorite medias. I just need to dump my thought somewhere, and my twt acc is not looking good haha. So here i am.

[tsukishima44]

Day 5- Outside Work

Kazunari was dragging an excited Misumi and a scowling Masumi to a public bath.

“Come on! The others are already waiting!”

“Will there be triangles, Kazu-kun?”

“Yes there is! The bathtub in this bath was extraordinary! They are in triangle shapes!”

“Triangles~triangles~”

“I don’t want to go there..unless Izumi is inside too”

“You can’t take a bath with a girl too!”

“I can...I’m her-”

He cut his own words.

Kazunari sighed.

He has no problem being Misumi’s courrier. Masumi on the other hand was much much more a problem. Ever since the day Izumi actually introduced Tetsuro, the backstage staff, as her boyfriend, Masumi was in a depressed state.

Unexpectedly, Sakyo the residence yakuza was also heart broken. In fact, he was more depressed than Masumi. But he was better now in his new relationship with Omi. The college student had confessed to having fallen in love with the older since the first time they met.

After Tsuzuru brought Masumi’s problem in surface, Taichi have the idea of bathing together. He talked about the Autumn Troupe’s day of bathing together and how it deepen their relationship.

Since the dorm’s bath was not enough to contain 20 males, they decided to rent a public bath for two hours, courtesy of Summer Troupe biggest funder.

Although Masumi was a pain in the arse, Kazunari couldn’t help but be happy. A long time ago he was still an insecure child, afraid of being left by his friends. Now here he was, being his extra self and still considered as part of the Mankai Family.

Outside their work, nobody could guess the bond between actors. They could pretend to be friend, family, lovers on stage. Not many could have real family inside and outside the stage, unlike them in Mankai Family.

“Oi, blondie..what are you stopping for?”

Kazunari bursted out of his bubble to face Masumi.

“Kazu okay? Here, have a triangle”

Misumi asked, his teal orbs full of worry, and handed him an onigiri.

“You will be happier with triangle~”

“Who would be happy, you idiot”

Kazunari smiled. Definitely noticable by his friends.

“See? Kazu loves triangle~”

Masumi clicked his tongue in annoyance.

“Whatever..let’s just get this over with. Are you coming?”

Kazunari ran to follow them.

“Hai hai!!”

"Ah! You're finally home (name)! But uh, who are those people behind you?"

PART 1: HEARTSLABYUL

SUMMARY: (Name) finally returned home! Finding a way to alternate between worlds, they decided to introduce all (yes,,..all 22 of them..) of their friends from Twisted Wonderland to their old friends from their world! But that leaves one question left, who would best get along with who?

TAGS: gender neutral reader, 2nd person pov, sfw, fluff-ish crack

notes: just me finding an excuse to combine my old hyperfixation with my new one ngl A3! fans and TW fans where u at!

Things have been looking brightly for you lately! After some digging (aka forcing crowley to research about finding you a way back home bc you just KNOW he either forgot or doesnt care) you managed to find a way to alternate between your world and Twisted Wonderland, to everyones delight. (No grim was NOT crying because he thought he'd lose you wdym????)

After visiting Mankai company and explaining your reasoning for disappearing for a year (or so depends, its up to the reader!) your friends had thought you were crazy, or at the very least believed you but needed further..er, evidence? So you decided, you'd arrange a meeting between your old friends and your new ones, to prove you werent crazy but now, that raises one question left,,,,..Who would best get along with who??

PRESENTING! The whole point of this post to begin with!

Who I think the Twisted Wonderland characters would best get along with who!

Heartslabyul

Riddle Rosehearts

Ok so for Riddle I was lowkey stumped on who to pair him with? But I think he'd best get along with Sakyo Furuichi since they both are pretty authorative and strict? I genuinely dont know who else to pair him with 😭

Sakyo Didnt seem that interested in talking with Riddle at first, commenting on how he doesnt have time to meddle with some kid from the street 💀

Riddle did not like him. Not one bit.

But after spending more time with him and the rest of Autumm trope, he starts to respect his authorative figure and how he's able to keep his trope in shape, so maybe, he isnt that bad.

Hes still salty about being called a kid tho

Ace Trappola

As for Ace, I think he'd get along best with Banri Settsu, both relatively laid back people who get into trouble on a regular basis! though Banri's definitely more on the gangster-punk-ish-intimidating side rather than Ace's chill troublemaker vibe. I can see the both of them being competitive with games (for Banri, he'd invite him to the arcade, and for Ace, I guess a game of basketball??)

Both of em would talk shit behind everyones back LMAO

Banri's just complaining about Juza and Sakyo while he'd be complaining about Riddle and Deuce

Deuce Spade

Ah, our boy Deuce! I wholeheartedly believe he'd get along with Juza Hyodo! Both used to be deliquents after all (Or at least- looked like a deliquent?? For Juzas case?), but strived to better themselves. For Juza, he wanted to better himself (and his reputation as a deliquent, much like Deuce) because of his love for theatre, and Deuce wanted to quit his ways to become an honor role student! both of them would click really well tbh, in my opinion at least.

Ace is not happy as Deuce spends more time with him, Like?? Isnt he the best friend here 🤨🤨??? /hj

(mf he was the one who refused to call Deuce his bsf and now hes complaining 🙄)

Anyways back to hcs! I think Juza would be stiff approaching him tbh, while Deuce is politely greeting him and all

Once they get to know each other more, Deuce would share his old deliquent days while Juza just listens and gives his own experiences every here and then

Congrats! Juza now has another younger brother!

Trey Clover

And now for Trey, Ok I didn't even need to think twice about this, HE'D GET ALONG WITH OMI FUSHIMI ! They both radiate vibes of being the mom friend in the group, and both can cook/bake (COUGHS AND BOTH ARE VERY MUSCULAR WOOO-) , sooo..Yeah! I think Trey and Omi would share stories and their struggles of being the mom friendᵗᵐ and would exchange various recipes with each other! overall very wholesome :D

Omi 🤝 Trey > being the parents of the group

Cater Diamond

Last one but certainly not least, Cater!! Also didn't need to think much abt this one since I already knew, LIKE- as someone who played a3! first, and then twisted wonderland, I can say with full confidence our beloved Cay-cay radiated vibes of Kazunari Miyoshi!

(both have that 2016 influencer vibes smh /hj)

They'd constantly exchange pics and would instantly follow each other on instagram, er- instablam (Cater instantly made himself an account, how? You have no idea tbh) Both cheery personalities immediately clicking with one another

Riddle just sighs, because oh god theres two of them now.

#Bothofthemaresecretlydepressedsquad

Additional Notes: Semi rushed this one! I was supposed to post all of the dorms but, I kind of got impatient and wanted to post this one right away since I got tired of looking at it in my drafts 🏃‍♀️ sooo let me know if you enjoyed it and/or would want a part 2!

Spending Valentine’s Day with Mankai!

🍁Autumn Troupe🍁

Banri

🍂“Yeah, yeah, it’s Valentine’s Day, what do you want me to do about it? Make a big deal out of it? I’ll get you some flowers or chocolates if you want some, but that’s about it.”

🍂You weren’t normally a stubborn person, but today just seemed like a day where you wanted just a bit more.

🍂And the best way to get what you want is to give it to somebody first, so that’s exactly what you did.

🍂You slammed your body into Banri’s, squeezing him tight until he let out an “oOF-” sound.

🍂“Alright, alright, you win, we’ll go somewhere or cuddle or something, happy?”

🍂As he said this, his arms found their way around your waist, pulling you into him, then he kissed your hair before ruffling it.

🍂“So, tell me what you wanna do already.”

Juza

🍰Sweet boy just wants to enjoy some sweet stuff with you!

🍰“There you are. Was wondering when you’d show up. C’mon, I’ve got something to show you.”

🍰He takes you to the kitchen for you to find an array of sweets and desserts laid across the table, all ready for you to try.

🍰“Got Omi’s help for these, and I wanted to do this for you. I haven’t gotten to try any of them, so I wanna see how they are. C’mon, sit down.”

🍰After sitting you down, he separates a bite of a tart onto his fork, then holds it out in front of him.

🍰“Open up, cupcake.”

🍰You agree, taking a bite of the treat, your eyes immediately shooting open.

🍰It was a perfect tart, with the crust melting in your mouth, the cream being fluffy and soft, and the fruit balancing the flavors out.

🍰“Well? How’d I do?”

🍰You reached across the table to pat his head, a delighted grin on your face.

🍰Juza blushed, tilting his head down to grant you more access to his hair.

🍰“So you liked it. Thanks. N’ also thanks for the pets. Felt good.”

🍰Big dummy isn’t exactly used to feeling small, so you just made his entire year.

Taichi

🐶“Oh, uh, heyyyyy, nothing suspicious going on in here, what makes you say that? Noooo, me?”

🐶That’s all that Taichi said when you popped into his room to ask him what he was up to on Valentine’s Day

🐶“Well, I guess the cat’s out of the bag. C’mere, I’ll show you your gift a little early.”


🐶You found him surrounded with little paper strips, some folded into stars and put in a jar, some with scribbles on them, and some crumpled on the ground.

🐶“So, what I was planning on doing was making you a bunch of little origami stars with little messages about why I love you on them and put them in a jar, so when you’re feeling sad, you can know that I’ve got your back. But then you walked in and the surprise is ruined.”

🐶You took that as your cue to leave, telling Taichi that you didn’t see any of the notes, and that you would wait until he was done to receive your gift.

🐶When you did receive it, Taichi had this proud smile on his face and when he saw your giddy face when you opened one of the stars, he rammed his body into yours in a hug.

🐶“Hehe, sorry, I couldn’t help it, you looked so cute! I’m so happy you like it. Happy Valentine’s Day, baby!”

Omi

📷When he texted you to come to the living room because he had a surprise for you, you never expected what came next

📷“You came. Good. Well, come closer. I have something to show you.”

📷He patted the spot next to him on the couch, waiting for you to come to him, to which you complied. As soon as you did, he wrapped his arm around your shoulders, giving you a tender kiss on the top of your head.

📷“There we go. Okay, can you close your eyes for me? Good.”

📷You felt him place something in your hands, and you could tell that it was hard and flat, but it was indistinguishable at the moment.

📷“Okay, you can open your eyes now. Well, what do you think?”

📷What he had given you was a photo book of his favorite moments with you. You opened it, flipping through the pages.

📷A lot of the pictures were beautiful, or of special moments you had shared. That, and there were quite a few pictures where at least one of you either wasn’t aware or wasn’t ready, which was very unflattering.

📷When you got to one of them, you looked up at Omi, wondering why he wanted to put this of all pictures in the book.

📷“Oh, that, haha. That was just something that I thought was cute. It’s not necessarily photogenic, but it’s silly and fun, and it represents the real you. I love it so much. I love you so much.”

📷You reciprocated his feelings with a kiss on his cheek, then wrapped your arms around his neck. He hummed happily at your sweet actions.

📷“Thanks, dear. I also made some cake for you if you want to have some of that later. Ah, but let’s just stay here for now. It’s peaceful.”

📷He finished his short monologue with his own kiss on your cheek.

📷“Happy Valentine’s Day, darling.”

Sakyo

💴Invites you to a late-night movie session the night before Valentine’s Day

💴“Well, don’t keep me waiting. This one’s supposed to be good. That, and I want extra role study.”

💴Sure, Sakyo, sure you do.

💴You come to his side, holding the large bowl of popcorn in between the both of you.

💴The movie, in fact, was very good. It was one of those movies that gets you to think hard about it, even after you finish watching it.

💴Although it was very gripping, it was nearing 2 am, and you were getting a little bit sleepy. The bowl was long abandoned at this point, and the space between your bodies was lessening by the second.

💴Before you knew it, your eyelids began to droop, and your head bobbed, telling you that you would probably need to go to bed soon, but what happened next was a miracle.

💴Sakyo snaked his arm behind your back, pulling you ever so slightly closer to him, but that slight distance just happened to be when your bodies meshed together.

💴You didn’t notice, but your head had already made its way to Sakyo’s shoulder, turning it into your pillow for the night.

💴“Hmph. Haven’t changed a bit, have you? Well then, sweet dreams. Oh, and happy Valentine’s Day.”

💴And with that, he sent you to sleep with a small kiss on the forehead.

Azami

💄“You’re going out with someone for Valentine’s Day, right? No? Really? You seem like the type who would love that shit. Well, I was gonna offer to do your makeup for you for that, but I guess that’s out of the question now. Wait, why do you still want me to do it? You’re not going anywhere, so there’s no reason to. Ugh, fine, if you really want it.”

💄Azami sat you down on one of the chairs in the room then began his work.

💄After a bit of scolding for not keeping up with your skincare, he actually starts, creating a beautiful look for you, to the point where you didn’t even realize it was you when you stared into the mirror.

💄And yet, the process to even get to that point was grueling, because Azami, being Azami, decided that he would freak out every time his hand or, even worse, his face was near yours, thinking that you’d accidentally mistake his actions and his offer to be something romantic.

💄“Done. What do you think? Good, right? Of course it is. What are you gonna even do with it, though?”

💄To that, you suggested going out with him on a date.

💄“Wh-! NO! You’re not supposed to do that until you’re in your thirties, you creep! Go, get out of here, have a date with someone else!”

💄You didn’t even have time to thank him for his work before you were pushed out of the room by a VERY red Azami.

___________________________

Banri: Cedarwood and tea tree oil! He uses essential oils. (Or just grease. Greasebag Banri back at it again. Love the guy but B O Y he’s greasy)

Juza: Lavender and sweets! At first glance one would think he smells dark and manly, which he totally can if he wants to, but he prefers the smell of a lavender mist that Muku gave him, and has found that kids seem less scared of him when he smells like one of Omi's fabulous desserts.

Taichi: Blue Raspberry Jolly ranchers, and a hint of weed. :) Just a hint, though.

Omi: Baked goods! Most often scones (With hints of berries and cream) but has also been spotted smelling of cookies or vanilla bean.

Sakyo: On a bad day, hand sanitizer and money. On a good day, a deep, warm, earthy cologne and old books.

Autumn Troupe: When they have nightmares

(PSA: this one’s a little self indulgent since I can’t sleep tonight so apologies if the headcanon’s inaccurate to the character ^^’)

Juza

Juza’s one to hide whatever gets him down because he doesn’t want to burden those around him.

He wants to be a good influence for Muku and Kumon and he tries not to rope them into anything negative that he has going on.

He tried to have a positive impact on you, too, so most times he doesn’t know how to express or want to express his vulnerabilities to you.

It was inevitable the night he had a nightmare, unfortunately it was you turning your back on him and was suddenly scared of him and thought of him as a monster.

Juza woke up in a cold sweat next to you, and he had no time to panic as he quickly rose up, reaching the air in front of him in a frenzy.

It would be best to hold him and/or reassure him. He needs to know that he isn’t alone and that it’s safe to open up to you, he will melt and quickly try to forget what happened in his dream.

He won’t tell you much about the dream, he won’t resist your efforts of getting close to him. In fact, it’s all Juza would have ever wanted. The love and care of someone that would accept him for who he is.

He’ll silently accept the love you give him, holding onto you tightly to steady his shaking and reassure his head.

Banri

Banri didn’t care much about nightmares, it never really bothered him and he kind of blew it off as some meaningless sign to ignore.

He never read much into things and didn’t see the need to start now. He was just rolling through life without a care in the world.

That was, until you came into his life.

He cared for you greatly and the feeling of putting in time and effort into someone that wasn’t his own self was almost foreign.

You had genuinely supported Banri throughout acting and everything he did, and he returned the favor which he had never thought he ever would.

Every bit of affection, every compliment he’d shrug off from literally anyone else meant more to him than anything.

To the point where waking up from a nightmare felt different when you were involved.

He was terrified that this meaning that he found in his life was gone, he woke up trying to laugh it off but saw his hands shake from the after math.

Just a simple “I’m here, I’m here” would ground him and bring him back to reality. Your voice was like a song to Banri, one that he would never get tired of.

He’d laugh still, but in a more genuine manner, tease you and asked if you actually worried about him.

Inside, he was grateful that you affirmed you were there with him, but it’ll take a while for him to admit it.

Omi

This boy has a lot to unpack.

He’s riddled with nightmares ever since his best friend had died. Despite all the changes in his life it still comes back in his sleep to bite him in the back.

He convinces himself that he’s gotten used to the nightmares and accepted it all as what he has to live with, but it deeply bothered him.

Despite this Omi tends to put a strong face for everyone; his brothers and father, the Mankai company, and for you, too.

Initially, he saw his weak points as being a burden to you, so Omi likes to perform acts of service to you like making you food before he goes to work or to rehearsal, get groceries with you, and of course also make sure you get a good night sleep before he would have to leave to run errands of his own.

He rarely takes rests and keeps himself busy a lot, he loves to help the people he cares about, but at the same time he will over work to avoid the nightmares that come late at night.

It was bound to happen that he would knock out fast asleep next to you. He had a whole day of errands, photo shoots, a lengthy practice and cooking for both you and the troupe. Omi deserved a rest.

However he started twisting and turning in his sleep frantically and you woke him up in fear of what was going on.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you” he immediately goes, rubbing his eyes to hide the clear discomfort, stretching to get up and make himself some tea.

Refuse his offer to do anything, right now it’s best for him to recover, and even without any cooking skill, offer some calming tea and some snacks or comfort food from the fridge or pantry.

He’ll be endlessly grateful, laughing as he constantly reassures you that he would have been perfectly fine getting it himself, but still thank you in the process.

“I know you’d do the same for me, it’s time I help you, too”

Those words hit him in realizing how much he has already done the whole day, and how acts of service doesn’t need to be a one-way path. Showing how much you cared for him gave him a sense of trust and security with you almost instantly.

Taichi

He admired you so much, and he would desperately try to hide anything that made him seem uncool.

He still fears being alone more than anything, despite wanting to stand out, he hated the feeling of isolation.

Often times it comes in his nightmares ever since he left the God Troupe, he had been scared of being singled out as a traitor and left neglected.

He woke up in tears that he sobbed out, carelessly forgetting that you were sleeping right next to him, but were awoken by his cries and immediately got up to go to him.

“Taichi, are you okay?” “Yeah! Yeah I’m perfectly fine-“ “Taichi.”

You sounded stern but he was still stubborn and tried to convince you that he was in top shape.

“See? I got all my fingers and everything! Still the same-“

You didn’t believe him but instead pulled him into your arms and his tears bursted out even more, taken by surprise of the overwhelming affection and support that he loved from you so much.

He shamelessly cried in your arms and soaked your shoulder, apologizing for his uncool he looked, but you not caring made him cry even harder.

After that nightmare he was truly happy to show this side of himself, even if Taichi had thought of it to be shameful in the beginning. He felt that you would stay at his side even with his true colors, he was open to accepting his own self as much as you accepted him with open arms.

Sakyo

In comparison, Sakyo handles nightmares as if they were nuisances like a fever. He still has difficulty sleeping after them so he lies awake just staring at the ceiling for a while to let it fade away.

In his past he was not able to have a lot, and often times because of his past affiliations he did not have much room for error.

As much as possible he did not want to mess up anything with you as well. Upon meeting him, he did come off as cold, and it took a while for him to warm up to you and was careful when talking to you about his previous encounters with the yakuza, as much as what didn’t scare you off.

When realizing you had done more than stay, but instead support him with being the actor who Sakyo was trying to be today, he was thrilled.

As much as he’d lecture you about running water and spending on groceries, it was his own way of trying to be helpful and caring.

In a way it showed that he knew what he was doing, but when it came to seeing him in shambles after waking up after a nightmare of his ugly past, he froze.

You were lying right next to him and he didn’t know how to cover up his own tracks of vulnerability. The ice he encased himself in melted away when you crawled up to him and asked him what was wrong.

He never wanted to involve you in the dangers of what his line of worm was before, realizing how much he wanted you in his life, but you still being there after learning all about it was reassurance to him.

With that he was able to go to bed easier, knowing that act of his life was over, and he was able to start fresh with a life with you, in an arc that he hopes to never call the curtain on.
