#as he throws some knives and pretends he sees Munakata's face there

What kind of therapeutic activity would Saruhiko's psychiatrist recommend for him to do, besides exercise? I'd like to know of there was something fun he could do :3

Imagine Fushimi’s poor therapist trying to recommend different healthy activities for him to do and he keeps trying to refuse all of them because they sound like a pain XD Like post-ROK Munakata makes Fushimi start seeing a regular therapist so he can actually work through some of his issues finally instead of burying them and the therapist pretty much deserves a raise because Fushimi is incredibly difficult to work with. The first time the therapist suggests exercising as a way of working out stress and bad feelings Fushimi just curls his lip and complains that he doesn’t have time for that, and anyway he gets enough exercise as it is through his job (the therapist looks him up and down, taking in his skinny unhealthy body, and is like ‘…I’m sure you do’). I imagine the therapist would want to give him options that he’ll actually enjoy but that’s difficult because, y’know, Fushimi doesn’t enjoy anything.

I remember there was a previous ask about Fushimi being artistic and I like the idea that the therapist recommends drawing, maybe initially they suggest writing down his feelings and Fushimi doesn’t like that so drawing is suggested as an alternative. Fushimi grumbles that he doesn’t draw and the therapist says it doesn’t have to be good drawings, just draw whatever comes to mind. Fushimi scoffs but does give it a try, imagine him with like some colored pens and a notepad in his pockets at all times and sometimes when he’s feeling poorly he just pulls it out and starts drawing. I imagine him not really intending to illustrate his feelings at all but doing it unintentionally, like he draws these different loops of color and sometimes when he’s in a bad space it becomes spiky and red or with colored blocks slashed apart by black lines. The therapist doesn’t analyze these, at least not initially, because Fushimi doesn’t want to be psychoanalyzed that way, but does praise this as a way of letting off steam. I also like the idea that exercise is still recommended but they need a way that Fushimi will actually do, which is how target practice with throwing knives becomes a therapeutic activity for him. Fushimi doesn’t like things that leave him with too much room to think, like yoga or meditation, but throwing knives at targets and pretending those targets are whichever coworker annoyed him the most that day is surprisingly good for his mental health.

I could not find Tangled Sarumi AU! So... Fushimi as Rapunzel and Yatagarasu/Misaki as Flynn/Eugene

Ooh Fushimi with long hair though *^* So Fushimi is the beautiful princess trapped in the top of a tower in the middle of the woods by his evil dad Niki. Maybe Fushimi was also like the adopted little brother of King Munakata, who saved him as an infant from a hideous monster. What he didn’t know is that Niki was that hideous monster, one day as a joke he fed his infant son this magic flower that gave him magic hair which could allow evil warlock Niki to change his form back from decaying monster into human. Munakata defeats monster form Niki but actually Niki only pretends to be defeated, sneaking in the castle a couple years later and stealing away cute little toddler Fushimi in the dead of night. He locks Fushimi up in a tower where no one ever comes, the only way in is by Fushimi letting his hair down or via the secret passageway that only Niki has a key to (because the first time Niki was like ‘little monkey, let down your hair for Daddy~’ Fushimi was probably like 'fuck you, die’). Fushimi’s all alone in the tower save for his pet chameleon Akiyama who he has to keep hidden from Niki because otherwise Niki would probably throw his pet out of the highest window just for funsies. Years pass with Fushimi living in his tower all sad and miserable and hating everything, every now and again Niki shows up to tease him and make use of his magic hair and to remind him that if he leaves the tower all he’ll find outside is a world that thinks he’s a hideous freak for having magic hair.

So then one day this thief who calls himself Yatagarasu (because 'Misaki’ isn’t a cool enough name for a thief) sneaks into Munakata’s castle and steals the crown that was hidden away in the vault and meant for Fushimi. Yata’s been living on the streets as a thief since he was little and he’s determined to make a name for himself, he’s been trying to join this group of rogues known as Homra but he needs like some kind of awesome act of thievery to get their attention. Unfortunately he’s a little too loud celebrating after he steals the crown and soon the King’s elite guards Scepter 4 start chasing after him (with their tenacious soldier horse Basashi leading the way). Yata’s like shit I need to get out of here, a cool thief wouldn’t ever get caught. He spots Fushimi’s tower and figures hey, mysterious tower in the woods looks like a good place to hide and he uses all his agility to climb the vines around the tower and slip in through the window. He just makes it inside when six knives pin him to the wall and he finds himself face to face with a very irritated Fushimi who thought he’d finally managed to hit Niki and instead it’s just some shrimp.

Yata has no idea who this gloomy kid is or why he has all these knives hidden in his super long hair and he doesn’t have time to figure it out, the guards seem to have lost his trail so he wants to get away with the crown and also who are you calling a shrimp asshole. Fushimi’s willing to let Yata leave so he can have his tower all to himself again but then he hears Yata mentioning that the King is holding this annual festival in honor of the missing prince and to mark the anniversary of the evil beast being slain. Fushimi realizes that the 'beast’ in question is Niki and figures if he can get to the King he can turn Niki in and he finally won’t have to deal with his asshole dad anymore. Of course he needs a guide to the capital, Yata’s like no way am I going back there and Fushimi just smirks and twirls a knife around in his hands. Cue Yata waking up tied to a chair with Fushimi’s hair, the crown missing, and Fushimi smiling like an asshole as he says that if Yata betrays him he’ll never find the crown and Fushimi will turn him in to the authorities for a reward, all Yata has to do is take Fushimi to the capital city and he’ll be free to go. Yata thinks this guy is a jerk but he needs that crown if he’s going to join Homra so he agrees.

Yata wonders how they’re going to get down from the tower without a door (“wait, why isn’t there a door?”) and Fushimi just throws his hair out the window like come on, Yata thinks it’s kinda weird to be using some guy’s hair as a rope but whatever it’s also a little cool. So the two of them start on a journey to the castle, as it happens Yata’s still being pursued but Fushimi keeps thinking up all these traps and strategies to evade the guards and Yata finds himself thinking that this guy is kinda cool. At the same time there’s all these things that Yata thinks should be common knowledge but that Fushimi seems to not know, like when it’s cold at night and Yata offers to share his blanket Fushimi stares at him blankly like no one’s ever given him a blanket before. Yata even finds himself thinking that the two of them work really well together, he doesn’t understand why someone as cool as Fushimi would be living alone in a tower when together the two of them could definitely do amazing things.

Then maybe when they get to the capital Yata goes to this secret rendezvous point to talk to Homra’s leaders and see if he and Fushimi can join together. He doesn’t tell Fushimi, thinking it’ll be an awesome surprise and he’s like going over it in his head, how he wants to propose to ask Fushimi if they can be partners. But meanwhile Niki’s caught up to Fushimi and uses this to convince Fushimi that Yata was only using Fushimi so that he could join Homra, he never cared for Fushimi at all and isn’t it funny that Fushimi thought someone would actually want to be close to him for any reason but his magic hair. Niki kidnaps Fushimi and drags him back to the tower while making sure Yata ends up in the castle dungeon. However Homra helps Yata escape and he makes a beeline straight back for the tower, not caring about his reputation or how cool he looks, he just wants Fushimi to come back with him and be his partner for good. (And then Yata pushes Niki out a window, he asks Fushimi who that guy was and Fushimi’s like 'my dad,’ Yata’s all 'wait wait fuck I killed your dad?’ and Fushimi’s all 'yes and it was the best moment of my life.’)
