#also. the added layers that could happen if transmasc haru was in charge. you see the vision

[caffernnn]

So um WHY have we never talked about Ran starting her period for the first time when left under the care of Haru, and Haru having to deal with that chaos??? Bc i think he'd b really great and also think it would be feral and unhinged and hilarious

(Wow i haven't been in this ask box in a hot minute anyway ily missed u, kissing you in the forehead and making you a nice cup of tea etc etc etc)

The thought of Haru being the one in charge here is so fun because he’s trying to stay calm for Ran (who is reasonably so, kinda sorta fReAkInG oUt) while also figuring out his game plan. Like, his first gut instinct when they get back to the house (because they have to have the classic bleed-through in public with Haru giving her a jacket to tie around her waist; it’s a rite of passage) is “sick Tachibana, sad Tachibana, must make soup must MAKE SOUP” when he knows that shouldn’t be step one here. Haru trying to calmly be like “this is normal, you’ll be alright, what do you need from me?” while Ran can’t decide between “go away Haru!!” and “what? Go to the store? Leaving me in my time of need?? JAIL FOR HARU!”

Haru being slightly overwhelmed by it all coming out of nowhere (the one time everyone else is out and busy), but also sorta relieved that there isn’t a big audience or too many hands involved right now when Ran seems mortified at the thought of anyone seeing her when she doesn’t fully know what’s going on. Mama Tachibana taking awhile to call Haru back (because of course she’s busy right now) makes him trial-by-fire figure out how to web surf on his phone for extra advice fast. Haru’s heart breaking a bit when she comes out after cleaning up like “I’m fine” but with obvious tears, because he’ll always be a sucker for rare Tachibana kiddo tears.

The rest of the household gets clued into the new shift when they get home to find Ran chilling out with a heating pack and Haru making soup (he couldn’t stop himself even if he wanted to). Haru threatening both of the boys with his ladle like 🤨“y’all better not make her feel weird about any of this.” Haru sitting with Makoto later that night in relative silence, until he randomly starts dropping uterus fun facts. It’s a whole chaotic day, truly
