bf(f) bllk & gn!reader. blue lock x fruits basket! fluff

nagi seishiro

-> you couldn’t help but laugh after opening your door to find a little white rat sitting on your door step in a very human fashion. “the hell?” you giggled, reaching for your phone to snap a picture for your boyfriend

-> “please don’t.” gasping, you dropped your phone on your toe and let out a colorful string of words as you stared down at the rat. “did you just talk?!”

-> if rats could sigh, this one did. “it’s cold. let me in.” “nagi?!” “my legs hurt. carry me y/n :(“

-> usually you’d freak out at the thought of holding a rat in your hands, but this one day like a slumped little gentleman, his tiny rat hand holding onto your finger to stay steady as you carried him into your house

-> “so… wanna explain to me why you’re a rat?” “not really. long story.” “okay. can you turn back into a human?” “yeah.” “how?” “dunno.” you placed him on your couch and propped your hands on your hips as you stared down at him. “nagi.”

-> the rat threw itself back against the cushions, sprawled out on its back like a sea star. “‘m sleepy.” “nuh-uh, don’t ‘i’m sleepy’ me, mr. rat boy!” “rat boy..?”

-> you wanted to say more, but there was a poof of white smoke, and when you opened your eyes toward the couch, you found hour boyfriend laying there… naked. “bruh.” “tomorrow,” he moaned, and you rolled your eyes as you tossed him a blanket. “fine. but i’m calling you rat boy from now on.” “:x”

mikage reo

-> you were about to lock the door for the night, heading to bed early due to the sudden rainstorms in your area, when you hear something strange on the other side of your door. “meow.”

-> eyebrows scrunched, you peek out the window to see a very wet, very disgruntled cat sitting hunched on your porch. it’s coat is dark due to the rain, but in your warm deck lighting, it looks almost purple

-> taking pity on the creature, you open your door and knelt down to scratch it beneath the shin. “aww, what are you doing out here in the cold?” “y/n.” “… WHAT THE HECK?!”

-> you fall flat on your bottom and stare at the cat. it spoke to you! but its mouth didn’t move. why does it sound just like your crush?! “reo..?” “can i come in? :(“

-> following the cat into your house, you can’t help but stare with wide eyes and mouth agape. “you’re a cat.” “unfortunately.” “for how long?!” “ever? i’ll change back soon, though.”

-> you fell heavily into an empty chair as cat-reo sat on the floor, his large purpley eyes blinking up at you. “a cat?” his head hung. “yes, we already did this part.” “sorry, i think i’m in shock.”

-> reo gave you the crash course explanation, which was that his family is cursed. you didn’t ask for more details since it clearly bothered him. “wait here, i’ll get you some.. milk?” you hurried into the kitchen but stopped when you heard a poof!

-> rushing back to check on reo, you nearly dropped the glass of milk when you saw him standing in your living room buck-naked. “bruh, what the heck?!” “don’t look!” “i’m not looking!” you heard some shuffling, and when you eventually peeked up, you found reo draped in a blanket. you opened your mouth. “i—“ “never again.” “fair.”

tsurugi zantetsu

-> you had placed a bucket outside to collect rainwater from a leak in your porch overhead cover and went to empty it out when you froze. there was something dark moving beneath the heavy drops of rain, and when you leaned down to get a closer look, you screamed when you saw a.. seahorse?

-> “please don’t scream. my ears are very sensitive like this…” you screamed again, because why was the seahorse talking to you, and why did it sound exactly like your boyfriend

-> “zantetsu?! are.. are you a seahorse?” “i told you i am a beast 😔” “i thought you meant beast as in, like, the goat, or something.” “i am not a goat. i am a dragon.” “…”

-> you don’t know what’s worse: the fact that your boyfriend’s a seahorse, or that he thinks he’s a dragon. “wait… does this mean i could get you pregnant?” “y/n, this is serious!” “right, sorry!”

-> apparently there was a curse on his family that turned them into random animals from the japanese zodiac, and zantetsu was coming over to help you prep for the storm when he suddenly transformed. “i will change back eventually, but i will be naked.” “nothing i haven’t seen before, babe.” “😳🐉”

shidou ryusei

-> “you’re such a dog,” you used to tease whenever your best friend would make suggestive or inappropriate jokes around you. he’d laugh it off with an awkward, “yeah, haha..”

-> and then you hear scratching on your door one morning and open it to find a pretty blond dog sitting with its ears up and its tail thumping against your front deck

-> you melted. “aww, where did you come from, angel?” the dog rolled over, flashing its belly to you, and you knelt down to rub it. “aren’t you the sweetest!”

-> “why don’t you ever rub my belly when i ask as a human?” your eyes bulged and you leaped away from the dog. “wh—shidou?!” “hi ;)” “why are you a dog?!”

-> shidou sat back and sighed. “i don’t know. old family curse stuff. anyway, i can’t change back.” you rubbed your forehead, stressed. “why not?” “i need a kiss from someone who loves me~”

-> you stared at him. “you’re joking.” “i’m actually so serious right now. no one else likes me; please do me this one solid, y/n!” “i hate you so much.” “hate me after you kiss me back into a human, please.”

-> he didn’t actually need a kiss to turn him back into a human, but he wasn’t going to tell you that. especially when he’d transform naked :’)

itoshi sae

-> “i’ll be right ba—AAH!” you cut yourself off with a scream after opening the door to find a little white and pink snake on your doorstep. you called your friend off when she rushed around the corner to check on you and grabbed a stick to pick the animal up with

-> “touch me with that thing and i’ll bite you.” you aren’t sure how, but you knew the voice of your best friend came from the creature

-> you nearly lost your footing with how fast you dropped to the ground. “sae?!” you whisper-shouted, glancing over your shoulder to make sure your roommate wasn’t around. “what the hell!”

-> “don’t ask, it’s complicated.” you silently reached for the stick again, but sae noticed and slithered away. “sorry. i wanna pick you up though, so please don’t bite me.” “😒”

-> it’s not like he can stop you, and threatening to bite you was just that—a threat. sae went noodle-limp in your hands as you picked him up and brought him to your face. “hm. your eyes are the same.” “that’s what you choose to focus on?” “yeah! you’re a pretty snake.”

-> with a poof of pink smoke, your arms felt heavy. when you opened your eyes, your face burned when you realized you were holding your very naked, very human best friend in your arms. “um.” “so..” you flung your hands over your eyes and blindly pulled your jacket off for sae to cover himself with. “w-we can discuss this later when you’re clothed!” “deal.”

How Blue Lock characters wake up from nightmares/How you can comfort them [Gender neutral reader]

Tropes: Reverse Comfort, Fluff/Angst, Established Relationship, and general warnings for some gore and mentions of flashbacks along with implied sexual harassment

Characters: Almost All Of Them Lol

Songs: Insecure - Bren Joy // Coffee for Dinner - Orion Sun // Broken Clocks - SZA

The Silent Type + Actual Memories

It's the same one again. He's right back where he started. Unloved, unknown, left out of everything. The pangs of hunger run through him like a freight train as he desperately runs from room to room in his childhood home...But there's no nourishment. Someone calls his name but all he feels is fear at being recognized, he cowers as a figure rounds the corner and says his name again. "You think you could get away from me? Huh?" It could be anyone, a parent, someone he used to owe money to, an old abusive coach, all he knows is what comes next is going to hurt. "Are you fucking crying? You're so pathetic, soon everyone else will see that just like I always have!" The floor begins to sag and give way, everything creases in on itself. His brain feels like it's going to explode.

When he wakes up- his brain still feels as if it's too big for his skull, pushing against the edges like it's trying to find its way out. But he doesn't groan in pain, and he doesn't move. You're next to him after all, breathing softly. The moonlight grounds him, your hand against his side grounds him, he is safe now. The best thing you can do is stay asleep. He isn't ready to talk and admit that he's weak (or even worse...the fact that it is okay to be weak sometimes), not yet. For now he just snuggles against you and quietly brushes away any residual tears, thanking everything he believes in that he's here with you now.

The Silent Type + More Abstract Fears

Slow. Everything was moving so fucking slow around him. His body was falling apart. Every sinew, every cell, every fucking atom of his being was breaking down and there was nothing he could do to stop it. Was this what he was truly destined for, dust to dust? Strangely enough, it didn't hurt, everything was calm. He was dying, so what? Every star burns out. And then, as sharp as a clap of thunder, the pain arrived. In his heart, not his body. Images of friends, family, trophies, all the things he hadn't done yet and you surged through his head. No, he couldn't die, not yet! He gripped his arm, but it was already turning to dust. Irrelevant and forgotten.

He's almost surprised when he wakes up, remembers that that would be impossible. Wants to scoff at himself for being afraid of something that could never happen. But the truth is, he is going to die someday, no matter how big of a star he is. He watches you twitch in your sleep, obviously disturbed by how he jerked awake, and curls his arms around you. He presses his face to the top of your head and breathes you in, silently begging you to drift back into a deeper sleep. He just needs to savor every moment with you and stop worrying, he tells himself.

Wakes Up Screaming + Needs Reassurance

Why was this happening? You were in his arms, covered in blood, he was covered in blood; It was everywhere. The cheering from the fans turned into screaming, that's when he should've stopped and had the damn sense to look around. Instead, he kept running and dribbling down the field, confused why nobody was stopping him. He didn't see you falling from the stands until you were right in front of him. Your arm twisted first, then your neck, the rest of you followed. Why was this happening? "No, no, no, no...(Y/N). Get help! What the fuck are you all standing around for?!" He took off his jersey and tried to stop the bleeding but it wasn't enough, you were already going cold. He was powerless.

"I said get help-!!" he roared. "Oh..oh fuck." He suddenly wasn't holding your limp body anymore, he was in his- your room. The smell of blood disappeared. He glanced over and made eye contact with you. "Are you okay? You're shaking like a leaf!" "No..can you, can you just come here?" He crushes you in a bear hug as soon as you do. Even when he lets up, he opts to hold your hand instead. He makes you tell him about your day, because he got in late when you were already asleep. He tells you how much he loves you and recounts the day you two met just to stop his heart from bursting. "S-sorry I woke you up, I just- I needed that."

Wakes Up Screaming + Needs Some Space

The first thing he notices is that he can't breathe. The second thing he notices is that he is in a hospital. "No, I don't think he will ever be able to speak or move again." a voice he doesn't recognize claims. Someone is choking him and he can't stop them. It's himself, rabid, foaming at the mouth. The doppelganger realizes he's been caught and tightens his grip. "That's right, that's what you fucking get for ignoring yourself. You don't even fucking eat enough and you want to be a star, huh? You keep betraying yourself." His neck is lifted from the cold pillow. "And betraying yourself!" It's slammed back down. He wants to tell him to stop, to say anything, but he can't.

He wakes up like he's been jolted back to life by electricity, doesn't even realize he's screaming. "Baby, baby you're okay! It's okay." He feels your hands around him and feels ashamed instead of relieved. What the fuck was that?! "Just go back to sleep, I'll be back." You open your mouth to argue but he shakes his head. "Please." This is nothing you can help him with, he needs to take care of himself and he knows it. Can't keep relying on others to pull him out. He takes a cold shower and comes back to bed hours later, slipping next to you. "I'm sorry I scared you." is all he says as his hands glide over your back. It's best if you just accept his apology, you'll never fully understand the war he's having with himself.

You Wake Him Up + It's Not Okay

Of course he knows this is a fucking dream, how could it not be? The overwhelming lights, the strange woman putting her hands on his chest. He knows exactly what this is about too. The paparazzi have gotten way too comfortable following both you and him around, they keep asking invasive questions and posting up outside of your house. The lack of privacy should be illegal. "You're famous now, you should like this you ungrateful piece of shit." a voice hisses in his ear as another pair of hands massages his shoulders. He tenses and struggles, but more hands appear, grabbing at his clothes. They tear pieces away from him with no remorse and something deep inside of him wishes it could end- Scratch that, every part of him wishes this would end, the violation, the rumors, the-

"Hey! Are you alright? I think..I think that you were having a nightmare." He gasps, so the feeling of hands on his chest were yours. Everything that was tensed relaxes, it was just you. That doesn't stop all his feelings from welling up along with tears. "Can you not touch me right now?" God, he wishes you wouldn't look at him like that. "Are you crying?" "No." He slips out of bed and checks the curtains, he can't shake the feeling of foreign hands on every part of him, not just his chest. Disgust curls and uncurls in his stomach. Why couldn't he just fight back on his own in his own damn head? "There's no one out there-" "How do you know!? Huh?" he demands, a whole lot louder than he meant to. "Fuck wait..I'm sorry. This week has just been a lot." You two end up having a long and needed talk that night.

You Wake Him Up + It's Okay

He has been walking in circles for hours. Each loop, though, something changes. At first it was funny, (someone's head would balloon to an impossible size or a sign would read a curse word instead of an actual street name, for example) but now he was just tired. He couldn't sit down though or this burning pain would shoot through him...Just like in the real world, if he ever stopped shining, if he ever stopped moving forward, he'd get this feeling like he wasn't doing enough. Even on vacations there would be a gnawing sense that he was running from his rightful title. All he needed was the spotlight, even if it took so much fucking effort to get there. Practicing the same kicks over and over again, walking in circles, looking for what would excite him next-

"Please stop kicking me..." you groan and he wakes up instantly. Honestly, he didn't realize how terrifying his dream was until he's lucid. "Was I kicking you? Sorry... I just had the weirdest dream, it was like I kept walking in circles and I couldn't stop." "Maybe that's your brain telling you to take a break and stop treating my shin like a soccer ball." You two continue to make light of it and the more he talks about it with you, the more relaxed he gets. He's going to be just fine, especially with you by his side. "Mnh, good night." you finally whisper, cuddling up against him and tangling your leg with his in a final attempt to prevent any future attacks. "Good night." He watches you fall asleep with love in his eyes and wonders how a job obsessed weirdo like him managed to land someone as perfect as you.

Hii i2rizz!!! I love your fics—especially Blue Lock! 💕❤️💯👌 But honestly, I love all of your fics!! ❤️💋💕🩷

My favorite is the “No way he pulled that” Blue Lock series!

Can you do a Zantetsu version? I’d love to see their reaction to someone saying, “No way his dumbass pulled a goddess like you.”

Anyways, love your fics and I hope today treats you gently (and gives you snacks 😘💋😁)

Awhh thank you darlin<3 i also hope these days find you well♡

No Way He Pulled That Pt.11

The Blue Lock boys had no clue how they ended up here.

Ego, in what might’ve been his rarest form of generosity—or maybe just a twisted experiment in social behavior—had allowed a full day off. No drills. No strategy sessions. No new rankings. Just sun, sand, and the awkward realization that outside the field, none of them really knew how to be normal.

Plus it was hot.

Not in the aesthetic, picturesque way,more like "sand sticking to wet feet" and someone's JBL speaker refusing to connect. But a beach day was still better than another round of tactical drills, and the boys were scattered across the sand, tossing volleyballs and arguing over sunscreen.

Isagi and Kurona were knee-deep in a beach soccer game that had no real rules. Nagi was napping in the shade of a giant umbrella while Reo applied SPF like a religious rite. Rin had claimed a quiet corner to read, even though he hadn’t turned the page in twenty minutes thanks to Shidou and Bachira loudly arguing over who could surf better, neither having touched a board in their life, while Kaiser was "casually flexing" by doing push-ups shirtless next to the snacks.

And then Zantetsu walked in.

Late, of course. Dressed like he’d just grabbed whatever his brain thought screamed "beach"—which, apparently, was a neon tank top, board shorts covered in cartoon sharks, and a backwards cap that he kept adjusting every ten seconds.

"YO!" he called out, jogging up the sand like he was in a music video no one asked for or sum. "Where is everyone? I brought ice pops!"

He was grinning like he’d won the lottery. Which might’ve made sense once everyone saw who walked in behind him.

You.

At first glance, it looked like you definitely weren't with him.

Tall platform sandals, sleek sunglasses, and an outfit that hugged in all the right places. Effortlessly beautiful in a way that felt just a little dangerous. You looked like you walked out of an R&B music video, or maybe a noir film—smirking like you knew you were the shit.

You didn’t look like someone who should even know Zantetsu, much less walk hand-in-hand with him while he waved at his teammates like a happy golden retriever.

Isagi blinked twice. "...Is she lost?"

Kurona tilted his head. "No, I think he’s holding her hand"

"You mean she’s letting him?" Reo muttered, suspiciously.

Even Barou, who usually couldn’t care less about romance or gossip, raised an eyebrow from under his beach towel. "There’s no way his dumbass pulled a goddess like that"

You reached them, cool as anything, leaned over to peck Zantetsu’s cheek and smiled sweetly. "Sorry we’re late. He got distracted watching a crab and started giving it directions"

Zantetsu beamed proudly. "I named it Greg. He’s got good instincts"

"..."

"..You're dating Zantetsu?" Kurona asked before his brain could stop his mouth. "Like. Zantetsu Zantetsu?"

You just smiled, unfazed, looping your arm through his. "Mhm. Took him a minute to figure out I was flirting, but he got there eventually"

Zantetsu puffed out his chest proudly. "She winked at me and I thought she had dust in her eye! But now we're in love"

Again no one said anything for a moment.

Then Kaiser, who had been mid-sip of beer, nearly choked. "You’re telling me this guy," he gestured at Zantetsu like he was a glitch in the simulation, "this walking ‘404 Not Found’ sign of a man… is ACTUALLY your boyfriend?"

You grinned wider. "Yes. He's sweet, he’s funny, and he makes me laugh until I can’t breathe. What more could I want?"

The group turned to each other in collective spiritual confusion. Rin looked like he was trying to calculate how probability even allowed this. Reo repeated, "No way his dumbass pulled a goddess like that."

"He once thought gravity was optional" Isagi deadpanned.

"And I still think it’s suspicious" Zantetsu added.

At that point, Bachira fell over laughing, sand kicking up around him like confetti. Rin gave up and shut his book. Kurona just quietly mumbled, "This doesn’t feel real" while watching you pull out sunscreen and gently apply it to Zantetsu’s nose.

The others watched in utter confusion as the man who once forgot how to use a microwave sat in your lap like it was the most natural thing in the world, rambling about hermit crabs while you cooed and nodded like he was the smartest man alive.

Kaiser whispered to Rin, "This is black magic"

And Rin, who would never admit to being impressed, just stared and muttered, "We live in a simulation"

Meanwhile, Zantetsu looked up at you and said, "Babe, do you think I could dig a tunnel under the sea?"

And you, with the patience of a saint and a smile too pretty to be real, replied, "Of course, baby. We’ll pack snacks for the journey"

The silence was deafening.

[sukuwrites]

Dad!Zantetsu thoughts!

still not all that big on writing, my brain is consumed with mountains of content i just never write it, so have this lazy little thing!!! enjoyyy!! i hope the 5 other zantetsu fans like these <3

Dad!Zantetsu who was so out of the loop with his knowledge of pregnancy that he decided to just listen to whatever command you gave him, you knew more than him.

Dad!Zantetsu who doesn’t know a thing about children, but is willing to learn for the sake of their future and your happiness.

Dad!Zantetsu who wants to teach his child(ren) as many things as possible, from riding bikes to professional soccer. However, don’t ask him to help with homework, that’s your job.

Dad!Zantetsu who takes his kids out to see horse races (not to gamble) and gets hyped with them over the speed of those horses.

Dad!Zantetsu who lets the child wear his jersey to bed, he acts chill about it but deep down he finds it so adorable, and so do you.

Dad!Zantetsu who whenever his kid(s) gets into trouble tries to act all tough and mean and strict but fails miserably, resulting in his kid(s) taking advantage of the situation and continuing to misbehave, leaving you to deal with it.

Dad!Zantetsu who wants to show his child(ren) to get an example of a healthy relationship so he is very much lovey dovey with you around them. They might gag and say “ew!” but it’s good they know what to look for in the future when they get old enough to date.

Dad!Zantetsu who always makes sure to take pictures during special occasions. Birthdays, first day of school, and various other celebratory occasions. He keeps them in a binder on a shelf in the living room.

Dad!Zantetsu who is VERY strict when it comes to personal hygiene, his kids will have perky white teeth and will be properly cleaned and dressed. His family were dentists so he takes inspiration from his own childhood.

Dad!Zantetsu who shouts out and sends “thank you”s to you and your kid(s) at interviews after a game.

Dad!Zantetsu who overthinks about his ability as a parent, he lacks the self confidence in his knowledge to think he is/could be a good father. You are always there to reassure him, which he is very thankful because he thinks highly of you and values your opinion greatly.

Dad!Zantetsu who locks in and gets super focused and protective if his kid(s) gets into hurt. Always having a pack of bandaids and wipes on hand for any potential scrapes and scratches.

my top song was attention by new jeans !

if your top song was attention by new jeans , i’d pair you with…

zantetsu tsurugi

જ⁀♡⊹｡° look at me back

♡ a/n — for my spotify wrapped event !

♡ content — zantetsu tsurugi x gn! reader, gn! reader, established relationship, relationship issues, zantetsu is a little behind, very much plays into the "stupid zantetsu" thing

♡ synopsis — zantetsu tsurugi isn't the smartest man, but he can figure out when you're upset...kind of.

"You know, you're the only one who doesn’t seem to care about me."

You didn't mean for those words to slip out, but they did, hanging in the air between you like a weight. It’s been happening for a while now—this constant feeling of being invisible to Zantetsu.

His eyes were fixed on the ball as it passed between his feet and to his knees, as if he didn’t even hear you. His mind, as always, was miles away. You could practically feel his focus shift back to his training, leaving you behind.

"Did you even hear me?" you ask, your voice tight, desperate to be heard.

Zantetsu’s gaze barely moves, his tone casual. “Yeah, I heard you, but I’m practicing.”

He doesn’t even look at you as he says it. It’s like you’re not even standing there. You feel your chest tighten, a knot of frustration beginning to form. You’d tried to be patient, tried to be understanding, but this... this was the tipping point.

You step closer, your arms crossing in a way that makes it clear you're not backing down. "It’s not just about your practice, Zantetsu. It’s about everything."

He pauses mid-throw, his eyes finally flicking up to meet yours. There's confusion in them, like he’s only just realized you’re standing right there, really looking at him.

"What do you mean?" he asks, a frown tugging at his brows.

It’s almost endearing how clueless he can be, but right now, it only makes the hurt sting more. You take a breath, trying to hold onto your frustration, but it spills out anyway.

"I mean… you’re always so focused on your training, your goals… and I get it, I really do. But when does it become too much, Zantetsu? When does it stop being about you and start being about us?"

Zantetsu stands there, blinking at you like a confused puppy. He opens his mouth, then closes it. He knows you're upset, but he doesn’t know why.

"I—" His voice falters as if he’s never heard you say anything like this before. "I didn’t mean to ignore you. I didn’t think... I mean, I thought I was just trying to get better, y’know? It’s just... my dream... I have to do this."

You bite your lip, trying to hold back the frustration that’s bubbling up. He still doesn’t get it, does he? The things you need from him—the things you need him to see.

"You can’t just... throw everything else away for your dream, Zantetsu," you say softly, a little defeated. "I’m not asking you to give up on it. I’m asking you to stop making me feel like I’m the one being ignored when I’m right here, when I care about you."

Zantetsu’s eyes widen slightly, as if something clicks in his brain, but then he scratches the back of his neck sheepishly, his usual lack of eloquence taking over.

"I’m sorry if I made you feel that way... I don’t really know how to be... good at this stuff," he mutters. "But you matter to me too. I just… I’m trying to figure it all out."

You stare at him, a little surprised by the honesty in his voice, but also a little exhausted by how he always manages to be a step behind when it comes to emotions. But despite the awkwardness, you can tell he means it.

"I know you do. But I need you to show it sometimes. More than just with words."

Zantetsu looks at you for a long moment, then nods slowly, as if he’s finally processing it. “I’ll try. I don’t want to mess this up... I’ll try to give you the attention you deserve.”

The words are simple, but you can tell they’re hard for him to say. You don’t know if he fully understands yet, but maybe this is a start.

bros a literal cutie patootie

i hope you liked it!

HEADCANONs – Zantetsu Tsurugi !

just some silly zantetsu hcs bcs i love him sm☹️💞

A list of my favorite hcs of my favorite character!!

– When he was younger, Zantetsu had to change schools several times due to bullying; although he never let it affect him, his parents worried a lot about him.

– Zantetsu is a very hygienic person; not only when it comes to dental care, but also in personal care in general.

– In contrast to that.. he is a very disorganized person; trying to find something in his own room is a challenge even for himself.

– Zantetsu is neurodivergence personified! Autistic, dyslexic and with ADHD.

– In his room, Zantetsu has many books on the shelves; mostly comics and HQs. But if you ask him what they are, he'll tell you a bunch science nonsense.

– Definitely believes in the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus.

– Even though he's not the smartest person in the world, if you ask him about his favorite animals (rhinoceros beetles), he'll dump a LOT of information on you.

[maochira]

Kissing Zantetsu is always a little silly because nine out of ten times he misses your lips and kisses the corner of your mouth instead. Usually, you have to grab his head and pull him just a little more to the middle. Actually, sometimes he's so far off he ends up missing your mouth entirely and kisses your nose instead. He plays it off as if it was on purpose, but it really wasn't.

Zantetsu also tries to surprise you with kisses a lot, but it's so obvious whenever he wants to do it. You immediately notice how he's waiting for you to finish talking or for the moment when you turn your head only slightly more into his direction. There's something in his eyes that gives it away each time. You always like to have a little fun and talk for a little longer than you intended originally or you turn your head in the other direction. It's funny to see how he gets a little bit frustrated but is too stubborn to say he wants to kiss you because he wants to keep it as a surprise - even though you already know what he has in mind.

★ Kinning Zantetsu Tsurugi - Blue Lock

⋆⭒˚.⋆ Kinning / Relating to a character that you don’t see many people in the fandom being a fan of and haven’t seen anyone else say they even relate to is an interesting experience, they're “kind of” used as a comedic gimmick for people to laugh at, Zantetsu Tsurugi.

And you’re probably wondering, “Why are you a Zantetsu kinnie? He’s dumb and he barely doesn’t have any qualities that makes him relatable in Blue Lock.” Well, that’s halfy the point.

Zantetsu is perceived as dumb, and his backstory is simple, he struggled a lot in school with his intelligence which lead to his peers bullying him. He purposefully uses bigger words in his sentences and he puts on glasses just so people can come to the conclusion that he’s an intellectual guy. (Other than me who actually has to wear glasses because of issues with my vision.)

I’m often looked down upon and noted as the odd quiet kid in high-school who unintentionally continues to embarrass myself, I’m an easy target to even get made fun of, people misunderstand me, I get shy to talk to people, I’m often distracted and forgetful to the point where I’m scared to commit to more important responsibilities like getting my drivers license because I simply think I will make either myself or someone else crash, all I do is cling to my Mother to depend on as a 16 / 17 year old girl, I’m not the best at most subjects except Art which is my favorite subject, even though I am passing those classes (Math doing slightly better than in the past due to being in classes that are designed for extra help, and I’m passing Physics with a D) I still tend to not understand things in it or it takes me a long time than others to get it, I even got called dumb once by a classmate in physics class (they didn’t say it directly to my face but it’s one of those things where someone would say an insult about someone else to their friend when they’re literally a one meter distance from the person their talking about, I never understood why people at my school do that but yeah. 😕)

And it makes me think, what the hell happened to me when I was younger to become this way? It’s like I feel so left behind from whatever the heck everyone else is on, and maybe Zantetsu just felt the same with himself.

No, I don’t have ADHD and I was never diagnosed for it, I don’t even know if I have it, and to be frank with you It’s not good to stereotype disorders when you aren’t even dealing with the same problems they have. A lot of people these days would assume someone is automatically autistic because of a social issue they have. But I do know that people with Autism often face struggles with being bullied for simply traits they have and I find it really upsetting that they have to go through that.

I think I can somewhat feel how Zantetsu feels on a more deeper level then just his silly antics, I think I’m dumb and I can’t change it nor prove people wrong, even if I tried, it just keeps happening over and over again without end where I give more people reasons to just belittle me, the only thing that’s really interesting about you is that one talent you have which is keeping you going and making you feel like you have some worth left, for Zantetsu it’s his impressive speed on the soccer felid and for me it’s doing art.
