Lazy Pig

a small sfw ficlet i wrote for myself but y’all can read it too... 👉👈

Inori was an odd man. You knew this long before the two of you had even started dating but every once in a while he would take you off guard. It was growing less and less frequent as the two of you grew to understand each other more  intimately.

The man in question was currently laid out in the shade, a magazine glued to his face in an attempt to ignore the inmates currently spread about the building five training grounds. You shake your head fondly as the man shifts slightly with a light snore. However, you weren’t going to let Inori know that you found his more negative traits endearing.

With a loud ‘thwack’ the box lunch that you had carefully prepared connects with the giant’s stomach with brutal force. You could be kind but you had found that dealing with Inori sometimes required a… firm hand. Inori shoots up from ground with a shout, his hand attempting to pull the magazine from his face, now plastered on with his own sweat. It pulls off with an uncomfortable peeling noise, leaving an irritated red mark on his forehead.

Choked laughs echo through the courtyard as your actions garner the attention of the inmates. Standing above your boyfriend, you cock your hip and look down at him with a raised eyebrow, “Inori, are you seriously napping while you’re at work?” He blinks up at you, eyes bleary with sleep.

With a yawn, he lifts a hand to tousle his hair. “You really are a lazy pig sometimes.” His face almost lights up at those words as a light dusting of red, a slight smile tugging at his lips.  It’s a lazy smile that’s distinctly him, warm and just a little mischievous, his eye lightly crinkled with mirth. “You’re so lucky that I love you.”

“You’re so mean, baby,” Inori drawls as his eyes rove your form. You ignore your boyfriend’s wandering eyes and ignore the pleasant drop in your stomach at the pet name. “Not gonna lie, I kind of like it when you insult me.”

A strangled noise echoes from your throat as you feel your face flush.  Bold and blunt, you honestly should have expected this from him, but somehow he still manages to take you by surprise at the most unexpected of times. Pointing at the lunch you brought, you simply tell him to ‘just eat your lunch, perverted pig’ and prepare to leave.

Inori, however, seems to have other plans. Reaching out, he lightly grabs your hand, pulling you towards him with a light tug. Even with your boyfriend slouched on the ground he still almost dwarfs you in sheer size,  his hands covering your hips as he pulls you forward to bury his face in your neck. The heat of his breath on your neck pulls an unnatural noise from you.

“Something wrong, babe?” He chuckles quietly, voice deepening as the cold metal his labret piercing grazes your skin. “I’m just giving you a hug as thanks for being so good to me.” Somehow he seems to surround you easily, and makes you feel so small and delicate in comparison. It was as humiliating as it was endearing.

You sigh and hug back tightly. Still, affection is affection and you did miss him while he was at work. Maybe you should use your day off and try and get a movie night set up? Yeah that sounded like a good idea-!

A firm squeeze to your ass makes you halt.

The rumbling mumble that leaves your mouth is intimidating,“Inori…”

“Yes?” He asks cheekily, hand still engulfing your ass. You can feel the smile on his lips and the smug aura that rolls off him in waves. You quickly card your fingers through his hair, tightening it into a fist and pull his head back, making him grunt.

“Hands off.” You tug firmly, but not roughly. “Now.” His puppy dog eyes do nothing but irritate you as he pulls his hands away and raises them.

Turning on your heel, you stalk off in an embarrassed fit, hoping that none of the inmates saw. You feel your body heat up, feeling yourself flush. It was almost certain that someone saw you. It seemed that you had learned a new thing about Inori today. Glancing back at Inori, you decided you determined that you had learned a new thing about Inori today. It seemed he like to embarrass you in public. Even from as far away from him as you were you can see the brazen smirk on his face.

Bonus:

Inori lets out a pleased sigh, grabbing the lunch and watches you leave fondly. He snorts at the small note atop his lunch, a smile tugging at his mouth.

Qi snorts, in a much similar position to his assigned guard, and opens a single eye to observe Inori lazily, “I really don’t know how they put up with you.”

The large guard shrugs lazily, a self-satisfied grin stretching across his face. “Jealous?” Fake coughing, Qi snaps his head to the side, hiding most of his blush, leaving only his pink tinged ears visible. “Thought so.”

Listing my favorite animes (because I’m jumping on the bandwagon)

❗️⚠️ *spoilers!! (Duh)* ❗️⚠️

5. Deadman Wonderland

I was really really sad when I found out this anime got cancelled. The music was fantastic, the animation was really good, and the voice acting was incredible. Even the fucking dubbed version (I loved the voice they chose for Senji. God he was hilarious). I binged this show so fucking fast it wasn’t even funny. I loved watching the characters go through their own struggles and grow as people in the very small amount of episodes provided. There was a lot of development within the snippet that we actually saw, and I was thoroughly impressed with how well it was done. I wanted to scream or something when I found out there wouldn’t be a second season.

Sigh. Oh well. At least we got some of the manga’s masterpiece translated into a show, even if we were missing some fucking awesome characters.

4. Guilty Crown

Ugh, don’t even get me started. This anime was beautiful and I got so invested so freaking quickly. I literally go back every few years to rewatch it because I get ship starved.

Shu and Inori’s story was so beautifully done; between Shu uncovering his courage and Inori’s journey of self-discovery, I was continuously awe-struck and filled with feelings—I mean, I had never felt such raw emotion while watching something and I was completely blown away by the affect it had on me. Anger, hatred, sadness, it was all there (even for the main character lmao) and it was one of the first times I had ever felt a ship so heavily that I literally cried at the end. It was one of the very first Animes I’d ever seen and was one of the reasons I got such a taste for them. Thanks for throwing me down that rabbit hole, GC.

3. Soul Eater

This was literally the first Anime I’d ever seen, and my god I couldn’t have asked for a better starter. What I like about this one is that it’s style is so unique and different. It’s very punk and grunge, something I admired and appreciated in a genre that is normally the opposite (like Guilty Crown, for example). Also the fight scenes were badass, like holy shit just look at that gif ??? Freaking amazing.

I loved the way the show transitioned from light hearted to intense and adrenaline pumping so effortlessly. That can be said about a lot of shows, but this one went from *haha cute show* to *holy shit, like they’re actually gonna die ohmygod howaretheygoingtosurvivethis* so smoothly I was genuinely surprised. They made one of the main villains actually cool and each character had their own beautifully done arc. I loved and adored how the show solidified and expanded on the different friendships/relationships that were involved—specifically Soul and Maka’s (also, holy shit, Stein’s arc? Fucking prime, dude). There was a lot of growth in each and every friendship (CRONA!!!), and that really pushed the viewer to invest in the individual characters.

I am fucking delighted that this was my first anime, and (though the ending was a little anticlimactic) it remains one of my top favorites to this day. It set the bar pretty fucking high, and for that I am extremely greatful.

No one asked for Soul Eater: Not! It is the unspoken sin of the Soul Eater world (then again, it is called Soul Eater: Not!)

2. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

If you have been following me for a while, then you are no stranger to my love of FMAB. Some of my most popular posts are about this anime, and for good reason.

Unfortunately, I was late to the party. I actually didn’t watch this until last year, but got invested really damn quick. I have a tendency to be extremely picky about the animes that I watch/like (which is why NONE of these shows are that recent), to the point that I will literally research them before I start watching (a bad habit, do not copy me). I have an incomparably hard time finishing a show when I start, because I get bored really quickly, but this was an exception. I started watching and I just... didn’t stop. I spent a straight week watching FMAB, gobbling it up during any small amount free time I could manage, and finished it before I even knew what happened. I wasn’t picky about it, I didn’t research it, I just dove right in and gosh, I was not disappointed.

The subtle romance that was alluded throughout the entire show was super cute, the devotion the brothers had for each other was to die for, and the struggles that each person went through was more than moving. I never once found myself bored while watching, and that’s saying a lot for my adhd ass. I was invested in each and every second of that damn anime and I was never, ever left underwhelmed. That probably had to do with the fact that every. Single. Character. Had a purpose. I’m not even kidding. Every single person contributed to the big fight at the end and that alone is fucking fantastic.

Not to mention ALL the women, every female character, was a badass bitch. None of them were reduced to sex appeal or romantic subplot, they all had real feelings, real arcs and real, unadulterated badassery that I thoroughly admired and appreciated. I could watch this anime over and over again every single month and I wouldn’t get bored. Between the emotional struggle, self discovery, and personal development of each character, I promise you will not see a lack of plot or meaning here. The more you watch, the more you discover and that is not a lie. There are so many layers to its story, which only makes me wish I had watched this sooner.

There is nothing I have to offer in the ways of criticism, and for that I couldn’t be happier. Thank you, Hiromu Arakawa, for such an incredible piece of art. You deserve every bit of love that this manga/anime gets. You go girl.

1. Cowboy Bepop

Holy shit holy shit holy shit this anime is so fucking good and it has been my favorite for so damn long. I have been watching anime for years, and while some of the shows in my list have moved around, this one has yet to be bumped down from the top (and I doubt it ever will). There’s a reason it became such a cult classic.

For starters, the animation. I mean, just look at Spike and the way they animate his fighting (yes I am aware that this gif is from the movie, but that still doesn’t change my point). The sequences in the show/film have been reused in many other shows and for good reason. It’s good, incredible, actually and they make him look so badass with just a few hand movements. I was consistently impressed with the way the fight scenes were portrayed and wasn’t ever left underwhelmed or disappointed (or, for that matter, feeling like they completely over exaggerated/overcompensated the scene with huge close-ups and tons of debris and lights). I loved watching this and my heart was always pounding with every intense interaction. I didn’t feel bored during any of the episodes and always found myself laughing when they cracked a joke—pretty much all of their funny lines hit and that’s saying something, dude.

The show, while having a lighthearted surface, has a heavy meaning that you don’t see at first glance. It’s about dealing with grief and loss, and how the characters themselves accomplished that in different ways. The most prominent quote is the biggest indication of its moral “you’re gonna carry that weight”. Basically: ‘You’ve gotta pick up your baggage, because the world moves on, with or without you’. Or ‘You’re going to carry that weight whether you like it or not, because life keeps going’. When I figured out the show’s actual message, while staring at my ceiling in the long hours of the night, I almost cried. This realization brought something entirely different to the table, a new understanding of the show’s characters and overall essence.

The main characters, all of them, had depth. They had real, palpable depth, and even if you didn’t want to care you found yourself seriously interested in their lives. Each of them had relatively shitty pasts. Faye with her lost memories, Spike with Julia and the people who fucked him over, Jet with his old flame and the ISSP, Ed and her/his father... throughout the entire show we got to see how all of them dealt with these things, whether they wanted to continue on with life or not. The way they portrayed it was engaging, because the characters individual, contrasting journeys weren’t repetitive or one note. The beauty that the show holds so achinging close to its core, the layers of grief that the characters are wrapped in so delicately is almost suffocatingly real—because they’re all different. It’s something you discover when you think on the subject in a deeper light, which is another reason why I enjoy it so much. It has both a surface story and a deeper one. You can either take the show at face value or choose to understand the underlying moral.

This show inspired my very first, thoroughly fleshed out OC, and continues to inspire me to this day. It has contributed to my own personal growth, and has helped push me to continue my art and writing. It is beautifully written, beautifully executed and even though some of the episodes seem like filler, it has never disappointed me. I rewatch it all the time because there’s something so infinitely refreshing about the beauty of this anime, whether it be the way we watch the characters develop or the overall moral it portrays. This show has given us a message that is essentially timeless, it can be ‘carried’ through generation after generation, and still have the same impact—something I absolutely fucking adore.

I owe so much to this anime, including my very own artistic development. I discovered it during a really shitty time in my life and I couldn’t have asked for better timing. I will never tire of the bittersweet message or the thoroughly fucking fantastic animation. Everyone who contributed to this masterpiece deserves love, because it’s seriously fucking gold.
