Could I request Joe, Cherry and Reki with an s/o who's a gymnast?

Joe

Do you know the amount of effort it took to get him past the jokes on this one? Luckily we got him down to just the eyebrow wiggles.

Seriously though, Kojiro appreciates their sport as a legitimate sport. It takes a lot of control, balance, and core strength for gymnastics. He’s only got 2 of those.

They probably met at the gym. Kojiro doing his weights while s/o was working with their training. They strike up a conversation on post work outs and then do some ‘light stretching’ afterwards at his place.

Cherry

Karou is actually very interested in the sport. Even before he met s/o.

The fluidity. The grace. The art form of gymnastics. It reminds him a lot of his work with calligraphy, and as such respects the time it takes to master such a skill.

He leans on s/o some to help with his flexibility when it comes to ‘S’. They are nowhere near as reckless or as into showmanship as Adam, but they are able to teach him a few moves that help him move on his board better; particularly in tight spaces.

Reki

Totally the most supportive boyfriend you will ever meet!!

Reki will be at all their meets. All their training if he can be. He has no flexibility, so he thinks it’s really cool that they can do all the flips and splits and…whatnot!

He knows what it’s like to be passionate about your sport as well, so he gets it when s/o has to spend more time focused on that during their more competitive seasons or get ‘in the zone’ for a particularly hard meet coming up. Reki just chooses to be patient and keep cheering them on.

Do you have any kyokao HEADCANONS?? 👀❤️

OH ANON YOU BET I DO I HAVE A MILLION OF THEM. I've been super busy so I didn't get the chance to respond to this right away and I am not sure which kind of headcanons you are looking for, so I am going to go with pet headcanons for fun

Kyoya:

Kyoya isn't really an animal person. The Ootori family never had pets in the house, so Kyoya never really grew up with one. It's not that he dislikes them per se, but he never really saw a reason anyone would want or need a pet. They're too much work (even when you have maids and butlers to do the heavy lifting for you).

He's even less inclined to get a pet when Tamaki gets Antoinette, because wow golden retrievers are sweet but have TONS of energy, and that's not really something Kyoya feels he can tolerate.

Of course, that all changes when he gets Noir when he's in Boston. Despite being exasperated with her at times (as all cat parents are), it does bring him solace knowing there is someone there when he gets home...even if he does have to stop her from eating plastic and scratching his leather couch. (He does not succeed at either of these tasks.)

It's been a while since I read the manga so I can't remember if we saw what Noir looks like, but if there's no canon design I am torn between Noir being this beautiful, sleek black cat or being one of those fuzzy voids like this:

Kaoru:

Kaoru loves animals. I like to think he's kind of an animal magnet like a Disney princess and has yet to meet an animal that didn't like him. Even Antoinette seems drawn to him (much to Tamaki's horror).

Though the Hitachiin family never had pets in the house either, Kaoru was always secretly jealous of other children who talked about their various furry and scaly companions. He was probably the one to suggest to Hikaru they go and catch frogs to release in the house, sort of as a way to give them a pet, too (while also causing mayhem for their staff).

When he finds out Kyoya of all people has a cat, he immediately takes it upon himself to spoil her rotten. Noir is constantly fed treats, catnip, played with, etc. when Kaoru visits Kyoya.

Unfortunately, like most cats, they only attach to one person and that person is Kyoya. Kaoru is DEVASTATED that no matter how much he does to earn Noir's affection, all she does is mildly tolerate him.

After he and Kyoya start living together, they finally realize how much Noir loves him the first time he has to go away for New York Fashion Week. Noir is inconsolable (as is Kyoya). She sits on their bed and meows pathetically, only getting up when Kyoya feeds her. Kyoya sends Kaoru pictures of her forlorn looks and Kaoru replies with a slew of crying emojis.

When he finally returns home, Noir goes right back to mildly tolerating him, as if nothing ever happened. (But they all know better now ;) )

重力| | Recognition by proxy, a bit by final battles, some by emphasis from his oath-born friend; They hadn't exactly spoken much during those hectic trials, and he only found out later that this was the man who had fixed Kaoru's panicked mistake. In that regard, he owed him thanks. In others, he would likely be reprimanded for not taking the prior fate of the future into consideration when responding. Bearing in mind the decisions he himself had been capable of, there wasn't much reason to judge - people were cruel, and people with power were often clinical in their methods. It wasn't surprising anymore. Staring up in despondent fascination, rune-etched sclera reflected the fellow mafia boss similar to how a deer would gaze upon oncoming traffic. He lay on his back, currently, a bit roughed up but otherwise not deathly injured, as the growling of two dogs began to cease; They backed up immediately upon the man's arrival, and as soon as he spoke, turned tail and ran. "It's not like I could hurt them, even if they hate me. Uh.. thank you..? It's weird anyone is out this late, though."

He mumbled from the dirt, unwilling to move just yet.

Could I request Cherry, Adam, and Takeshi with a painter s/o?

Cherry

Their careers are very similar, Karou with his calligraphy and them with their painting.

They probably met when they were hosted at the same show on classical Japanese artforms.

As an artist himself he has a deeper appreciation for their technique with their brush strokes and fine detail work. It’s so delicate and perfect. He could watch them paint for hours.

Adam

Likely met at a charity or fundraising gala at a gallery they were showcased in and Ainosuke took a liking to their work.

Not knowing they were the artist, he provided his critics and was unanimously shut down by them. Decimated even by their words.

They told him that a bureaucrat like him could not possibly understand the passion of art like this, and since then Ainosuke has been obsessed with them and their passion.

Tadashi

He envies their expressiveness and creativity.

They get to be so free. Both on and off the canvas. Artist are known for being a little eccentric, so they can get away with things he would never dream of being so bold about.

Takeshi is actually a fairly skilled painter, but his art has no life to it. He can ‘play the notes, but not make the music’ as it were. So he just leaves the art in their relationship to them.

Random, but I'm surprised no one's written smut about that one Kyokao scene in the manga where Kyoya wakes up with Kaoru in his bed. Like the whole scene and the dialogue itself (ESPECIALLY Kyoya scolding Kaoru at the end) is like it was written for fans to make another ending if you know what i mean 😭

I am ALMOST positive I read something like that eons ago when I first wrote the KyoKao fanfic rec list, but it was on FF.net so I cannot guarantee it still exists anymore (or if we'll ever be able to find it again).

That being said, I am creating a list of fics to write later in the year when I quit my job so if you have a request...♡(>ᴗ•)

Edit: saw some folks reblog that fanfic rec list and it hasn't been updated in a million years, so please take it with a grain of salt!!

@pompomexpress you know all those times kaoru just came into kojiro's shop without warning and for a free meal? well, time for kojiro's revenge! he's just going to come inside while kaoru's working on an important calligraphy, taking his shirt off (because what else, really) and lying on his side, a hand supporting his head, just in front of the other guy. aaaaand... silently watching said man working. take that!

When it's clear that Kojiro isn't planning to say anything, and plans to just lie there while he worked, Kaoru let out a huff. "Husband of mine--" He starts, pausing in his work. "What do you think you're doing? I have wedding invitations for a client to make. You look ridiculous. "
