Tohru Honda

SWEETEST ANGEL EVER

i aspire to be her🌸🍡✨️

anyways to the oneshot

this girlie trusts you w her life so if you say that 'you're fine' ngl she WILL believe you

It might take this cinnamon roll a few days but once she realizes that you have bags under your eyes, you're on high alert, and you're fidgeting.. mom mode is on

once she has a gentle grasp on your hand, it's over for you: she has won

she'll take you to her house so you can relax in a new setting

just pretend the boys aint there😁👍🏻

she will ofc cook you some comfort food of your choice, which most likely contains some rice

maybe she'll tell you the story of the onigiri and the plum in its back (i think thats the story lmao dkdnd)

after eating, she'll most likely lay your head on her lap and play with your hair (long or short) and just caress your jaw and maybe down your arms

just her touch makes you tingly, she's the master of relaxation

SHE WILL RUN YOU A BATH I SWEAR

some words that she would say:

"I wish you would've told me sooner, I would have been more prepared"

"no matter what, I'm on your side!"

"so you can relax now, breathe w me! slowlyyyy, yay! you can rest now, it's just us"

"there there, you can ask us for help. We're here for you"

Kyo Sohma

tsundere cat fr

he's shy but will help in his own way

he def does the little things that you don't think about:

like putting away dishes

and he's the one leaving a can of your fav soda outside your door anonymously

he remembers the little things and his love language is def acts of service, prove me wrong👩🏻‍⚖️

if its exam season, he will give you an extra set of notes or help you cheat somehow from across the room

if its another matter, he'll get the guts to give you a hug

lets just say he wont turn into a cat😃

i feel like every character would run you a bath before hand idk why🤷🏻‍♀️

he will take your turn cooking dinner and buy your fav fast food

if you're closer to him, you can hide in his room, he'll get you some more blankets so you can hibernate

he def gives those lil shoulder pats

and headpats too ofc

imagine that small lil smile when you start to feel better😭😭

some words he would say are:

"hurry up and feel better already, this aint like you"

"IF SOME BASTARD DID SMTH, I'LL MAKE EM PAY"

"you can let it out, its just me here yk?"

Yuki Sohma

idc I will forver pick this rat over kyo🧍🏻‍♀️

also my friend didnt like him until they learned his fam was rich💀

im getting distracted so anyways

HES SO KIND

if you overwork yourself and get sick like tohru did in the pilot, he'll spare his clothes

and yes.. run you a bath

i feel like he's the type to grasp onto your shoulder, firm yet gentle and he will tell you to take a break

he'll take up your chores as well, he wants you resting as much as possible

yes, its canon that he will help you study

he always gives you support no matter why youre stressed

always always ALWAYS gives you advice, he's big brother material

gives gentle hugs, the kind that linger for a while even after he lets go

the kind that make you want MORE😭

but he'll only give you a hug if you ask, he's smart but too dumb to realize if you want physical support

and when youre in your ✨️stress era✨️ he will have that soft, kind voice that you would use for a fussy child or baby

yes he will treat you like a child

some of his words he would say are:

"hey, hey, hey whats going on? why are you upset?"

"are you crying? was it kyo?"

"hush now, I'll finish up your chores. Why dont you take a bath in the meantime?"

Shigure Sohma

bark bark

will tease you if you dont ask for help

he won't be much of a help ngl

will put on a drunk uncle act and try to be affectionate w you

and yes it will be the most uncomfy experience of your life

get those nasty sticky fingers out from under my skirt pls

his love language is gifts for sure, he likes buying stuff🙄

hopefully its just some pretty tulips and not lingerie

I LOVE PINK TULIPS

poor tohru😔😔 that dress looked so pretty, i wonder if she ever saw it-

anyways he's not the most helpful 4/10

"heyyy, whats with the waterworks? did some boy break your heart?"

"don't worry about those other kids, they don't realize how special you are"

"soo.. i bought you a little gift"

Momiji Sohma

MY ABSOLUTE FAV

I WANT TO MARRY BUNNY BOY

ahem**

sweetest 2nd to tohru, will buy you gifts, help with your chores/work, take you out to the park, and will let you cry into his shoulder

he's like a quadrouple threat ig?

i think he would take you out on a walk, most likely

shows you the prettiest places fr

and then comforts you if front of the sunset

will use a soft voice like yuki to make you spill your worries

I FEEL LIKE HE IS SO SMART WHEN IT COMES TO EMOTIONS

he's the top of his psychology class probs

but that means using lil brain tricks to make you cry which is mean >:(

but highly affective👍🏻

He will kiss your tears away and tell you stories to distract you

holds your hand the whole time >>

some words:

"wah?! hey, whats wrong?? oh I know smth that'll cheer you up hehe!"

"shhh, it's all alright now. I'm here.. I'm heree. shhhh"

"rest on my shoulder, I'll wake you up when we gotta go"

Hi! Can I have a red velvet truffle? Im cancer and INFP, any gender is alright! I like sour candy, late nights, anime, indie/alt music, and blankets. I dislike loud places, bigots, bitter things, and bugs. I draw, play volleyball, rock-climb, and watch Netflix ig ldskdkn. I can run fast? I guess? I play flute. I'm trustworthy, kind, and funny. I can also be irritable, I dont do well in crowded public spaces, and I procrastinate (1/2)

Fears I have are bugs, commitment, and having no direction in my life. I want to have some sort of job that isnt a normal office job because living in suburbia with two kids a dog and a spouse and working 9-5 also scares me. I aspire to be able to be a dependable person. I look for people who can stay calm in stressful situations, have ~fun~ and do dumb shit, but are also responsible. I stay away from close minded people and rude people. TYSM ILY <3 (2/2)

hooowee okay so this one took a second to hit, but once it did? Boyyyyy did it stick, and it was hard to imagine anyone else! I could see you best with...

Kyoka Jiro!

Is it because you two are so similar? I mean you’re both not one for crowds or loud areas, both a bit moody, but can still find your own humor, and are empathetic towards others, so maybe. But I just think that means you’ll get closer even quicker, and stay together even longer :3

Right off the bat, you’re a win in her book with your ability to play flute. Musically a flute and a guitar are an unusual pairing, but that doesn’t stop you guys from jam seshes together and making some interesting ballads! There’s also the shared interest in alt music, and the late nights you spend under a blanket pile with the tunes filling the room as you just chill together, content as can be (though you do switch it up and have anime/regular tv nights as well).

Her laidback demeanor is perfect since you don’t have to worry about hardcore commitment, the typical picket fence life, or any of the other traditional relationship pressures. Y’all can just vibe yknow? It works out really well for the both of you. Plus it makes her capable in stressful scenarios, but still up for a good time when things have cooled off.

She might come off as rude to the unobservant eye, but she’s really just sarcastic and teasing and never really hurts others in actuality. I could see you two messing with one another and making each other laugh in a way no one would really get, but you understand it’s all light hearted and in good humor so who cares ʅ（◞‿◟）ʃ

Honestly Sin just... the aesthetic of you and Kyoka together would be unparalleled, you’d automatically be the ‘it’ couple amongst your friends and they’d egg you on and you’d both get super flustered, and it’d be the best cause it wouldn’t even matter to you! You two are comfortable around one another, no pressure, no judgement, just good feels all around, and it’s really all either of you could ever ask for.
