Leveragetober23 Day 11: kiss
It is a truth universally acknowledged that, if given a ceiling to climb on, Parker will find herself up there, eventually. Now, this is not usually a problem, unless, like all spiders, you didn't know she was there until she dropped down onto you. Then…there is usually screaming. Something (or more than one somethings) gets thrown. Slapping noises get real loud, real quick, as people try to bat away whatever is tickling the top of their head, only to find it is a FACETHEREISAFACETHEREWHATTHEFUCKPARK-
Now, though, Hardison and Eliot are much more used to it. Honestly, it has helped them in their line of work, the fact that they always look up when they scan a room now. Not just for cameras, no, but the rafters too. It's always handy to be able to quickly catalogue what looks like it can hold a person's weight, just in case. Yeah…just in case.
Parker, personally, is just happy that she has taught other people a skill that she believes is vitally necessary to existing, and doesn't even try to suppress her smile every time she sees their eyes catch on her when she is…hanging around.
One skill Parker has learned from the others, though, is touching. Touching can be good. It is not just used to hurt, or get things from other people. Sometimes it can be used for comfort. Sometimes as the only way to express the emotion others are feeling. Like when Hardison got buried and they found him and Parker hugged him like her life depended on it and then Eliot hugged him like everyone's life depended on it. Parker does better with examples.
Of course, at some point, all of this led to a very long (and what, at the time, Parker felt was a slightly unnecessary) discussion on consent and touching. Back then, Parker just didn't touch people, and she made sure people didn't touch her, so she didn't really see it as a problem they needed to discuss. But they knew her too well, by then, and they knew she does better with examples, so they sat her down and gave her some damn examples.
Sometimes people don't want to be touched, and that's okay. You are allowed to say no to a hug, or a kiss, or a tap on the shoulder. You do not need to duck away, or disappear, or stabsomeonejesusparkerno. You can just turn around, look them in the eye, and say no. Yes, "no touchie" is acceptable.
Nate tried to say that sometimes unwelcome touching was needed for a con, and Parker would just have to deal with it in the moment until such a time that she could properly decompress, but Sophie shut that shit down before it got encoded in Parker's psyche as "acceptable." She made a good point, honestly. She couldn't claim to be half the conwoman she truly was if she couldn't see some other way to get what they needed out of the mark other than forcing a teammate to go through something that truly made them uncomfortable.
All of that to say, though, that Parker needs examples. And she was given them. But she took them more to be…rules. Which meant that for a few months, until the other two figured out what was going on, any attempts to initiate touching by her were quickly squashed because they did not explicitly give her consent to touch them. Or she would come up behind them and they would say "No, Parker" and she thought that meant "no touching at all ever" but they thought that meant "no, Parker, you can't have the food on my plate that I see you eyeing with my innate (hehe, Nate) senses which are informing me that the distinct lack of scent and sound identify the disturbance of air behind me as Parker."
This led to more rules. Better rules. Parker needed signs to know what was acceptable and when, so Hardison went to work. It took a while, explaining it and getting Eliot and Parker to agree, but eventually they had an understanding. Hardison made the three of them bracelets with a square bar that would lay flat on the top of their wrists, to be worn outside of cons. It had three colors: green, yellow, red, and blue. It had a tiny gyroscope inside so it always knew what side was on top, and that color would be reflected on a colored dot next to their names in their contacts on their phones, but the color was also on the bracelet in case they weren't near their phones at any given moment.
Green meant yes. It is okay to touch me, I will not react in a way that will insinuate I do not want to be touched, I will not take it out on you. Welcome.
Yellow meant caution. Approach at your own risk. I may grumble. I may push or shove you half-heartedly. It may mean I'm busy and touching will distract me. It may mean I'm having a bad-skin day and everything is itchy and wrong and I want touchbutIdon'tIdon'tknowwhatIwant. Basically, approach at your own risk, be prepared to not be reacted to in a totally pleasant way, but at the same time, I will not reject it (or you) outright. I'm just a bit tetchy right now.
Red meant no. Simple as that. Don't touch. No touchie. No explanation needed. Red over an excessive amount of time may eventually call for a group-talk, because something is obviously wrong, but for a few hours, maybe even a few days, we don't ask, you don't tell (of course, unless you want to, those puppy dog eyes can be killer).
Blue, though? Blue meant I need comfort. I need all the touching, now. I need a group huddle, please for the love of all that is holy I need to be buried beneath the weight of two bodies holding me down. I need something grounding me to the here and now, I need food or a blanket or lights or dark but really I need you.
All of this is an explanation for Spider Kisses (note the Capitals).
Parker loves the ceilings, and she will always find a way to be closer to them, but she is also learning to love touch, which is typically with people who cannot also be found on ceilings. Thus, Spider Kisses.
As long as bracelets were on and colors were green (and maybe yellow depending on what was going on) Parker was free to descend from the ceiling and drop a kiss on the top of their heads whenever she wished.
So, at least once a day, Eliot or Hardison would just be chilling. Cooking, watching a movie, hacking something, talking on the phone, scrolling the internet, etc., when all of a sudden, * boop * there goes Parker, dropping down to deliver a quick peck to a forehead, before scrambling back up to her web of gear spanning the whole building. Sometimes she stayed suspended right above their head, curious, wanting to get a better look at what they were doing. Sometimes she would descend and deliver a quick kiss in order to butter Eliot up and convince him to give her the leftover brownie batter. Sometimes Hardison would feel a brush atop his head and when he would look back to his station, a donut would be missing. Both men would grumble good naturedly at the food being absconded with, but that never stops them from sharing a look of understanding, proud of their little spider for taking what she wants and reaching out for them.
Touching them.
Trusting them.

academic bias is so funny because you’ll be reading about the same historical event and one person is like “Despite the troubles that befell his homeland and near constant criticism of the court King Blorbo remained strong in the face of adversity” and the other one is like “after letting his people carry the brunt of his cringefail decisions Blorbo the Shitface refused to listen to any reason and continued to be a warmongering piece of shit. Also he was ugly.”
#historians are out there beefing with ppl who died over 200 years ago. good for them#history#history memes#this isn’t really about anyone in particular#but I did read the most hilariously bitter takes on alexander I#not that it’s hard to poke fun at his vanity and indicisive nature but like. he was just a poor little meow meow#although I have some weird grudges against dead ppl as well *cough* Catherine II *cough*

Upset that no one has talked about how sweet of a character Jayce talis is. Like yes he’s brave and determined and a little bit naive in s1, but he’s also just. Sweet. He likes putting his head on Mel’s lap and getting his hair stroked. He immediately claimed viktor as his partner and equal in front of everybody. He presses his forehead to viktors in their final moments so they can be close. He’s sweet.
#at his core he’s always been kind and I have beef with all the Jayce haters#arcane#arcane season 2#jayce talis#viktor arcane#jayvik

Bitch That Is NOT A Deer
I love it when we turn Danny into animals because of some weird reason or another, has anyone else done deer yet?
_______
"AAAHHHHHHH!"
A scream reverberated through the cave walls below the manor. A battle of the ages taking place for anyone brave enough to witness it.
"LET GO YOU BAMBI WANNABE, THIS IS MY CHILI DOG."
Jason managed to rip the package away from the jaws of the beast, he knew it was mistake to bring down any kind of food into the cave where the creature resided but in that moment he was thinking more with his stomach.
Demon Brat had once again found another animal, a baby deer of all things, and decided to keep it knowing fully well how to pull the strings of both Bruce and Dick into letting him keep it. The thing is Jason always got a weird vibe from it, almost like some part of him was trying to warn him that this was no normal fawn and living with it proved that.
After being brought to the cave it refused to leave, claiming the environment down here as it's own. They've all tried to move it but it always found its way back down here so they just gave up and created a space for it. Another weird thing about it is its cry. It does not sound like a normal fawn but instead had the echoing tone of a human baby but appearently only Jason could hear it, the others all said it sounded like a normal animal but he gets the feeling Damian is fucking with him, it doesn't help that Duke is also suspicious of the 'deer'.
But the last reason that really sold him on it not being a normal deer was the fact that it. Ate. EVERYTHING!
No food was safe with the deer around, if you were to put something down it would 100% without fail find its way into the maw of the ravenous creature. This ranged from simple pieces of candy to an entire rotisserie chicken (bones included), it even managed to drink his entire smoothie that had a lid covering it. Everyone tells him that there's no way it could drink through the straw because its mouth wasn't shaped to do so but he knows it did goddamnit.
Now it was infront of him vocalizing its discontent for Jason not sharing his food with a weird ass whine from its mouth.
"No! This is people food, you are a 'deer', ACT LIKE IT!"
The deer stopped its whining.
Looked Jason dead in the eyes.
And stood up...
"Ah hell naw, DAMIAN! COME GET YOUR DAMN DEER!"
#dc x dp#dp x dc crossover#dpxdc#dp x dc au#dp x dc prompt#jason todd#danny fenton#danny phantom#deer!danny#i will never stop making jason have unnecessary beef with animal danny#it's too funny#damian is well aware danny is not normal#it's exactly why he brought him home#duke is suspicious asf of the deer#he has every right to be#danny wants to gnaw on his toes

au where the bats manage to stay urban legends, sure other heroes know of them, but they help largely from the shadows, they aren't put on display and they're hardly known at All outside of the strange circle of gotham's goons
that changes when duke thomas stares batman down and says on no uncertain terms that he's working day shift
the signal is Gotham's first confirmed superhero, and he wears a bat on his chest
social media goes Wild fighting over whether the Batman existed all along or if someone finally got the tech and powers to make the bat (or a bat) Real
suddenly the world of superheros feels a lot more real to the citizens of Gotham who got used to horrible disasters being either ignored or neatly cleaned away from the public eye, now there's a guy getting thrown through windows and helping grannies cross the street and the war between gotham and metropolis gets even more cut throat
#duke thomas#bruce wayne#batman#batfam#bread talk#i think it would be very interesting if social media invents some beef between superman and a literal 16 yr old#that would be So fucking funny#to me#not to them#they have to do like pr and publicity things to be like nope we are sure friends and he's like my step foster father once removed#and u know what#tim drake#lmao#thats for me#batfamily#you know the general Thems

people who act like batman isn't "judge jury and executioner" because he doesn't kill people are like. genuinely so funny to me because. they're very obviously thinking of "executioner" as like. the stereotypical guy with axe who chops people heads off, and not, yknow, the literal definition of the idiom itself, which is about someone who has the ability to judge and then subsequently punish someone unilaterally. which is quite literally what batman does.
he has the ability to decide what is a "crime" to him, he is the one who decides whether people are guilty of those crimes, and he is the one who executes their punishment. the severity of the punishment doesn't matter - he is unaccountable to anyone else, and indeed is allowed to commit as many crimes as needed to reach his arbitrary ideal of "justice."
the ideal of batman is this: a man who is so fundamentally changed by an act of senseless violence that he takes it upon himself to fight back against the rot and corruption in the world. he does this not through political activism, not through ridding himself of his wealth in favor of a greater good, not through community outreach, but through an individualistic fantasy of being a hero.
and you'll say: charlie, but he does do that !!! he donates his money all the time, he funds social programs, hospitals, orphanages, gets people jobs -
and i will say this: so why don't things get better?
because here's the base of it. gotham, at its core, can't get better. no matter what bruce wayne does, there will always be more crime, more villains, more death, more people for batman to beat up in back alleys. because that's what sells.
reoffending rates don't matter in gotham, prison reform doesn't matter in gotham, what actually causes crime doesn't matter in gotham because that doesn't sell books.
and so here it is; dc has unintentionally created a world where batman can't win, but can't be wrong, and where thousands of nameless, faceless, only-created-to-die civilians must be pushed into the meat grinder that is gotham, to fuel bruce wayne's angst and vindicate his constant, tireless, noble fight against the forces of evil.
and then: a new robin, who is poor and who's parents are dead or gone because of this cycle; who is happy go-lucky and hated by editors and fans for being robin, for not being dick grayson, for being poor.
and this robin is written, unintentionally or not, to be angry at the ways in which batman's (the narrative's) idea of justice is detached from its victims. bruce seems perfectly fine to allow countless unnamed women to be at risk from garzonas in his home country, yet robin is the one who is portrayed as irrational and violent.
this robin is not detached from gotham in the way bruce wayne is: this robin is a product of gotham.
(and here's the thing. you can't punch aids. you can't fight a disease with colorful fights and nifty gadgets. and how would robin dying from aids add to batman's story; it would call into question the systemic changes that haven't been made in gotham. how does a child get aids, in batman's city?)
so robin dies, and then bruce (the narrative) spends the next couple of decades blaming it on him. it is jason's fault; he was reckless, he just ran in, he thought it was all a game. if only bruce had seen what was coming, if only he could have known that jason wasn't rich enough or smart enough or liked enough to be robin.
batman gets a little more violent, a little more self destructive. he hurts people more and almost (!!) kills a couple guys. this is bad because it's self destructive and "not who he is." it is not bad because batman should not be able to just beat people up when he's angry.
and then he gets a shiny new robin - who is all the things jason "wasn't": rich and smart and rational and he doesn't put who batman is into question. batman and robin are partners, and jason is a grave and a cautionary tale, and (crucially here) never right.
the joker kills thousands and it doesn't matter because they were written to be killed.
batman beats up thousands and it doesn't matter because they were written to be criminals.
and then jason comes back, and nothing has changed. there is a batman and a (shiny! rich!) robin and the joker kills thousands. (because it sells)
and jason is angry - he has been left unavenged - his death has meant nothing, just as willis' had, just as catherine's had, just as gloria's had, just as -
thousands. ten of thousands. hundreds of thousands. written to be killed.
but one of them gets to come back.
and he is angry - not only at the joker, but at bruce (the narrative) - because why is the joker still alive (when thousands-)
here is the thing - jason todd is right. not because the death penalty is good, not because criminals deserve to die, not because of everything he says -
but because of what he calls into question. why is the joker alive?
because he sells books.
and dc has written a masterful character, through no fault of their own, because jason knows what is wrong, and he knows who is at fault - batman. (the narrative)
so the argument that bruce can't kill because he's not judge jury and executioner; the argument that jason is a cop or that jason is insane or that jason is in the wrong here; they hold no weight.
batman can't kill the joker because the joker sells comic books.
and jason can't kill the joker because the joker sells comic books.
so he will beg and plead and grovel - he will betray everything that is himself, he will forsake his family and his city and kill himself - just so that bruce (the narrative) will let the joker die.
he was condemned to death by an audience, and after he came back he has spent his whole life looking us in the eyes and screaming, asking, pleading; why is the joker still alive?
why are thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands (the number doesn't matter, see, because they're just a number. not people. not real.) why are we expendable for his story? why did i have to die just for nothing to change?
and the answer is money. and the answer is the batman can never be wrong. and the answer is shitty writing. and the answer is -
nothing jason can ever change.
which is the worst of it all. he is a victim with no power, and no one else in the world can see it. he is raging and crying and screaming at his father and his writers and you - and it doesn't matter. jason doesn't matter. and he knows it.
#yes btw i am saying that jason is subconsciously aware he's a comic book character. being dead for literal decades and then coming back#to a different and yet fundamentally unchanged world will do that to you#this is also a huge reason i have beef with people who equate jason's death with any other persons. like sorry. no#jason *died.* forever. he was dead dead. in heaven dead.#he died in the sense that he was never supposed to come back.#your 'heart stopped' or 'was dead for maybe 3 months irl' literally does. not. compare.#also when i say tim is everything jason isn't; by including smart i don't mean jason wasn't smart#i mean tim is *written* to be explicitly in contrast to jason#and by making him a 'genius' the narrative implies his intelligence is directly in contrast to jason's#therefore implying jason wasn't 'smart'#surprisingly little tim hate in this. am i growing from my hate? (no. i wrote a couple paragraphs but it didn't fit. haters stay strong💪)#jason todd#anti batman#red hood#batman meta#batman#anti bruce wayne#bruce wayne

The house of Nightingale & Constantine ( P. 1 )
> next part
.・゜-: ✧ :-
You know, when Batman reassured him (was it tho? His way of using words is a bit... confusing.) of bringing in a third person for their common problem, Phantom, Danny, didn't press nor worry.
He regrets it now, just a little bit.
—
Dick liked Danny.
The small guy has been an absolute delight!
(He isn't grinning when he and Damian duke it out, doesnt watch fondly when Danny and Jason exchange the most weirdest ways of insulting someone or when He and Steph gossip, Cass sitting behind him with her hands in his hair.)
(He can see from the corner of his eye the way Tim hides a grin behind his hand, texting Danny someone rapidly and their Guest laughing at random times, the way even Duke, despite wearing the sunglasses, seems to warm up pretty quickly to their new brother friend.)
(It's doesn't help that he has black hair and blue eyes either.)
Danny has been living with them for some time now, temporarily as it may be, and grew on them all pretty quickly.
Bruce told them when Constantine arrived at the cave, seemingly irritated for unknown reasons, and they all were ushered to the elevator.
There is no noise as they arrive, Danny few feet off the ground and engaged on a hot topic with Steph as they go down the stairs.
The moment Constantine is in sight however, has their resident ghost snapping out of the conversation and zooming in on the man from afar.
It's kind of funny? The way his black hair fluffs up like in a Ghibli Movie, the way his eyes narrow to slits, glowing a faint green.
Many shout in alarm at the sight of agitation (?), Dick sees Constantines own eyes glow a eery gold??
It's like two cats staring down one another, a showdown.
(Someone should record this.)
The two meet down in the middle of the cave, Danny is bristling and John scowling.
"Really Bats? A Nightingale?" The blond man scoffs, pushing his hands into the pockets of his coat, hands roaming for cigarettes probably.
"Excuse me? I thought the line of Constantine died out back then, with the way you handle your stuff." The teen hisses back, a hand running through his poofed up hair.
"Hah!" The Hellblazer gives a mocking laugh, cigar already in hand and lit. "'With the way we handle our stuff'? Weren't the Nightingales out of commission not so long ago?"
The glow might have died out, but the tension only rose higher.
Danny turns to Batman, glowering.
"Asking for the help of the house of Constantine? Are you crazy? Those nutjobs have no self-preservation!"
John's eye twitches at the remark.
"No self-preservation, my ass. Nightingales do nothing but mess with stuff they shouldn't, talk about self-preservation when you have it yourself, pipsqueak."
And Danny? Danny growls.
"All you do is trick every being to do your bidding! One day all of this will catch up to your house and me? I will watch as it burns."
The blonds cigarette snaps in his grip.
"Burn? Me? Doesn't the house if Nightingales hunt the beings we 'trick'? It seems to me that your lineage is already going down as we speak."
The argument (?) continues and the batclan does nothing but watch as if its a particularly interesting tennis match.
(John looks like he's about 5 seconds away from strangling Danny and the teen about to bite off John's head.)
"What's going on?" Finally, Batman steps in.
"What's going on? What's going on?? You said you'd bring in a third person! Not a constantine!"
The bat shows no signs of anything really, when both teen and man whip around to face him.
"I thought you'd know better than to involve yourself with the house of Nightingales."
"I was here first! No take backs!"
"And yet I know bats longer, don't I, pipsqueak?"
"Foolish trickster!"
"Imprudent necromancer!"
(Apparently, beef between two houses of dark exists and they had the chance to experience it first hand.)
(This is one of the many occurrences.)

Blood Blossom Au: Baby's First Commissioner Meeting :)
TL:DR This Post: Danny (orphan) gets poisoned with blood blossom extract by Vlad. He runs away from him and ends up under the care of one Pre-Robin Battinson Batman! Starry is loudly pushing her batdad agenda.
(Also known as "Late At Night, When The Nightingale Sings" on my ao3!)
This was a fun rough idea I've been sitting on for weeks, thinking about how Commissioner Gordon and Nightingale's first meeting might go.
---------------
Commissioner Gordon likes to think that he's adjusting to the new normal of Gotham very well, -- the new normal being grown men running around dressed like bats, in military-grade strength body armor, committing acts of vigilantism, -- and slowly, little by little, he was no longer being surprised when this new normal pops up out of the shadows like the world's most terrifying daisy. His shaving lifespan thanks him for it.
....
The kid is a surprise though.
Granted, he seemed to be a surprise to the Bat too.
There's been a string of murders lately, -- which, in Gotham, is kind of like saying there's been another storm during monsoon season. And there's just been another; in some dilapidated building down in south Gotham, with the broken, boarded-up windows and mildew-crawling walls to match. The victim is a man in his thirties, multiple gunshot wounds to the chest, left in the center of the room for the blood to pool out around him.
The place is already secured when he arrives, the building swarmed with officers and the forensic detectives. The Bat emerges shortly after he does -- or, he might've been here the whole time, hiding someplace dark and shadowy. For his own sanity, Gordon doesn't think about it too hard.
The kid is a surprise, and he appears like a bolt of lightning.
He shows up in the middle of a conversation Gordon is having with the Bat.
A whistle, sharp and loud, slicing through the air, meant for open air rather than a confined space. Gordon's ears pierce and protest the sound, and the solemn, murmured chatter floating through the room abruptly cuts off like the swing of a gavel. As he turns towards the sound -- as they all do -- he swears, up and down, that he sees Batman's shoulders jump, just slightly.
At the source, perched on the window, is a boy. A boy in a gray-blue scarf and an oversized black hoodie, one that hangs off his frame and has ace bandages wrapped around the wrists in some attempt to cinch the sleeves. The hood is up, big like the rest of it, and threatens to swallow the upper half of the boy's face whole in the fabric. What upper half Gordon can see, is smeared with some kind of opaque, black face paint. He's holding onto the side of the frame with one hand, on his hip is a grappling hook. A familiar grappling hook.
Gordon has multiple questions, and his officers tense up.
Martinez puffs up, brows furrowing as his face shapes into a frown. Shoulders rolling back. "You can't be here, kid--"
The reaction is immediate, like a spark to gunpowder, the boy yanks his fingers from his mouth and his mouth twists into a scowl. Head snapping over to Officer Martinez, his hood manages to stay on but Gordon swears that as he bares his teeth, the glint makes them look sharper than they should be. His voice is rasp and quiet and harsh; snappish in its hissing; "Put a fuckin sock in it, Martinez. I'm not stayin."
Martinez reels back, and the boy immediately veers his attention off him. Like a switch, his demeanor drops. Despite half his face being covered, his mouth twists into a cringing, apologetic smile. Slanted and off-beat, embarrassed. It'd be disarming if this wasn't Gotham, and if he didn't just hiss at Martinez like he was about to bite his head off.
"Sorry." He whispers, voice deceptively polite and softer now. Gordon has to strain his ears to hear him. "I was looking for him."
He points his finger towards-- Gordon? No, Gordon follows the direction, and finds himself looking at -- the Bat.
The Bat, who always looks stiff as a pole, now looks even stiffer. Somehow. Well, the explains the grappling hook attached to the boy's waist.
"What are you doing here?" The Bat says, gruff and unable to completely smother the stumble of surprise in his tone.
The boy still holds a sheepish smile, and slips off the window ledge. His feet hit the creaky boards with a near-silent thud, the Batman finds his feet and rapidly begins crossing the room.
Gordon notes the slight tremble in the boy's legs as he straightens. He adjusts his scarf, which droops close to his knees now that he's standing, and slings a backpack -- how long has had that? -- off his shoulders. When the Bat reaches his side, he does as he always does, and looms over the boy like a spectre. A threatening mass of shadows cloaked in all-consuming black. Standing next to him, the boy looks teeny in comparison.
The Bat is a man who terrifies even the most hardened criminals, Gordon has seen grown men shiver in fear at the mention of his name. And yet when the boy looks up at him, he doesn't even flinch.
Instead, his sheepish smile melts away like ice under the sun, holding only traces of his previous embarrassment. It remains as a shadow on his face, a small upturn at the corners of his mouth. The boy pushes his hood back just enough to reveal glinting, ice-flint eyes surrounded in tar-black face paint. He holds the backpack up with one arm. "You forgot this."

When Uncle Sukuna visits again, you open your door at lunch time to an upset Yuji, an adorable angry expression on his tiny little face.
“Hiya, Yuji, what’s up?” You laugh a little and let the kid into your apartment.
“I’m hungry but I don’t want my uncle’s cooking… he burns everything and doesn’t know how to cook how I like.”
“Oh, you want my cooking?”
“Yeah…”
You smile and sit Yuji down in your couch and turn on his cartoons while you cook his favorite lunchtime meal.
As you’re cooking, Sukuna walks into your apartment, looking at you and smirking.
“You’re like a housewife, are you sure you and that nephew of mine aren’t together?”
“Uncle! You have to knock!” Yuji frowns at the sight of Sukuna.
“Don’t tell me what to do, brat.”
Yuji pokes his tongue out at his uncle and hides between your legs as Sukuna scowls at the kid. You just laugh and shake your head as you finish cooking for Yuji and give him the food. Yuji eats as Sukuna talks with you.
“You never answered my question.”
“Choso and I are just friends.”
“Really? Because I see how-”
“Uncle! When is my big brother coming home?”
Sukuna scowls when he can’t keep teasing you about Choso.
“He should be back for his lunch break soon, brat.”
As if on cue, almost like always, Choso enters your apartment with a soft knock on your door.
“No one was in my apartment, I almost thought Sukuna ran away with Yuji.”
“Choso!” Yuji smiles and runs to his big brother.
Choso smiles to you and sits Yuji back at the table.
“Did he run here because of Sukuna’s cooking?”
“I’m right here, you know.”
Choso laughs and smiles to you as he looks at his uncle.
“You should keep a better eye on Yuji, uncle.”
“Not my fault the brat is too small to see.”
“I’m not a brat!” Yuji frowns at Sukuna and stuffs his face with food.
Sukuna rolls his eyes and goes to Choso’s apartment while complaining under his breath. Choso chuckles and looks at you as you wipe sauce off of Yuji’s chin. He notices you still have his shirt from the other day and he feels a little flutter in his chest at the thought of you wearing it around your apartment.
“Yuji’s grown to be a little picky.”
“Nah, I cook all kinds of stuff for him.” You smile.
“I guess he’s more picky over the cook. He tells me he only likes your cooking and my cooking.”;
“Oh really?” You smile and ruffle the boy’s hair.
Yuji huffs and moves your hands away as he eats. Choso laughs and makes himself a plate of the food you made, hoping his uncle hasn’t burnt down his house.
