#THE ICONIC RYUSUI MOMENT

[courtesanofdeath]

ryusui desires all women, men, tsukasa, everyone!

[zaimta]

I TOTALLY FELT YOU WHEN YOU SAID DR STONE IS LIKE A DRUG OMG its like my lifeline at this point

i was wondering if i could request a small drabble or headcanons for ryusui !! i keep having this repeating idea of him with a reader who’s like his childhood friend and ever since they were young, ryusui always tried to pursue them romantically but reader would always just laugh it off, thinking he was joking. but ryusui never gave up on his love for the reader!!

(spoilers for the treasure island arc)

but once everyone on the perseus gets petrified, leaving the reader (who had gone with the recon team to scout the area), reader starts to realize just how much they were worried for him, and especially when he comes back to them in fragments after kohaku smashed him. and the second that he gets revived, the reader is all over him and telling him how worried they were, and the second that the two of them are alone (maybe the team recognized that they were having a moment and let them have it?) reader confesses that they return his feelings and the possibility of possibly losing him helped them realize that? O:

male reader would be preferred (ryusui bi icon frfr), but i dont mind gender neutral!! :D

thank you so much for your time in advance, and remember to stay hydrated!! (expect more interactions from me, im literally obsessed with your works ❤️❤️)

彡zai says- the brain rot this gave me was insane back on my dr stone grind!! he really is a bi icon i'll never forget what he said to tsukasa (ngl i read it a year ago so i spitballed the lore lol)

paring: ryusui x male reader

warnings: SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT

ever since you were kids you were always the main thing on his mind. he was constantly teasing you and clinging to your side. as you got older it turned into him flirting with you and seeing how far he could push your buttons until you got flustered.

when senku broke him from the stone he was more focused on you than himself, he knew you had an impressive skill set and he used that to his advantage. even if they didn’t have enough revival fluid he brought you along anyways, dressing your statue so when they could revive you, you were ready to go.

when you came to you immediately fell into someone’s arms. their hold on you was firm but also familiar, and their scent was familiar too it was almost comforting. you pulled back to look back at them, and you were met with ryusui smiling down at you “i missed you.”

you laughed and gently removed yourself from his hold “i’m sure you did.” you didn’t notice it but his face slightly faltered.

his flirting was no better when the two of you were alone, as a matter of fact, it was only worse. the two of you sat alone staring at the moon, he spent most of the time staring at you instead of the sky “you’re so handsome, the way you shine in the moonlight is amazing.” you laughed again and rolled your eyes. you always assumed his flirting was just empty words, he was the human version of greed after all he craves everything the world has to offer and he does this to everyone.

“you don’t have to keep saying those things ryusui. i know you don’t mean them.”

he stared at you, no matter how many times he tells you he adores you or how many times he admits how he wants nothing more in the world than you, you never believed him.

at least not until the incident.

when you first laid eyes on his stone body you wanted to scream but you couldn't, the scream was barely louder than a whisper hardly a scream at all. it only got harder when kohaku brought him and the others back as fragments.

the second he was revied the team cleared out and kohaku sent you a knowing glance.

one the two of you were alone you immediately wrapped your arms around him pulling him into a hug "i was so worried about you, i thought i lost you." he returned your embrace and rested a hand on the back of your head pulling you closer to him "you could never lose me." he pressed a gentle kiss to your temple, and for the first time instead of backing away from his affection you accepted it.

you gently pull back from his hug to look at him face to face "i've realized some things."

he raises a brow "and what would that be?"

"how much i care for you, and how much you care for me." his hand moves to gently cup your cheek while his thumb gently caressed your cheek "oh? and how much do i care for you?"

"you've basically spent most of our lives trying to win me over, and every time i never really responded to them or gave you any straight answer. so why did you never give up?"

he smiled at you "that's easy. because i'm the greediest guy there is." your face slightly fell which caused him to chuckle "you didn't let me finish. because i'm the greediest guy there is i know there's no greater treasure than your heart. i'd stop at nothing to make you my boyfriend and to be yours."

Okay, Ive decided I actually really DO need to make an appreciation post for Ryusui. This man.. seriously, HOW did I get so invested in this man?? I shouldve known. The fucking MOMENT I thought "oh no he seems like hes going to be infuriating" I shouldve REALIZED there was going to be more going on here and.. I SORT of knew. I learned with Law. And with FMA Greed, actually. Ryusui was CONSTANTLY giving off vibes of "Hate me LOATHE me" while simultaneously COUNTERING them with endless love and an absolutely INSANE amount of development and depth the further you get into the series!! I swear it was on PURPOSE.

The second that man said "you may despise me, but I love you!! Because I desire every woman on this earth- and every man too! Im the greediest man alive, after all" (or something along those lines, dr stone readers know what im talking about) and with that glowing smile on his face to BOOT, I knew I was doomed. And I am, Im so doomed. A man who USES greed for love and unification?? And progress and advancements, instead of the stereotypical evil connotations?? My heart was already on the VERGE of being taken. But then.. they just kept going further!!! Born a rich kid but doesnt just snap his fingers and expect other people to do things for him, to lead the way in getting for him what he desires- no. If he DESIRES something, then even if he has to be the one to figure out HOW to obtain it, how to MAKE it, on his own then he absolutely WILL.

He straight up will go DAYS on no sleep or anything, working himself to the GROUND making those model ships and then will compensate BEYOND generously anyone who helps to bring his creation to life?? Hes the kind of man who will "desire" the safety of his workers and sailors and will go TOE TO TOE WITH GOD HIMSELF TO SEE TO THE HAPPINESS AND SAFETY OF ANYONE UNDER HIS CARE (lmao didnt mean to imply Senku was God or anything. Senku and that beautiful gambling debacle aside Ryusui WOULD have desired a way to march straight to the heavens and FIGHT God if he knew he was a direct threat to anyone he cared about and damn it he wouldve made it HAPPEN).

And just.. theres that saying of throwing money around, and usually with rich people that kind of stuff makes you RAGE but he does it in the BEST way!! The kind of man who will see a waitress holding back tears at a diner and be like "an expression like that on a beautiful face such as yours breaks my heart. It cannot continue, for I desire your happiness!" And gives her a $1k+ dollar tip and speaks with the establishment to arrange for her a long vacation and whatever else to combat what was making her sad. And did I even mention yet how he says ANY and EVERY woman is a beauty that must be treasured no MATTER their age and looks etc?? Hes the DIRECT counter to "If she BREATHES she a THOT" no no ALL women are QUEENS. Yet he is ALSO an absolute pansexual icon!! And he just keeps GOING. He develops more and MORE and just when you think youve finally understood him he goes DEEPER. He desires more than ANYTHING to go on that space trip.. yet he desires the success of the space trip MORE and anything that needs to be done to make it happen even if it MEANS recognizing that he isnt the best candidate to take one of the positions.. im just... ive gotten to the point where he could tell me he desires anything and whatever it is I would just GIVE it. Im so attached to him now. Ive never made a ramble appreciation post for ANY specific character that I remember and even tho i could even be considered late to the party on this.. I just NEEDED to okay?? I need. More love for this man. And honestly RIP to my wallet because of it
