HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKA MY BELOVED!!

for your present i give you one (1) oshisan. i hope you like him

[stormisblooming]

Can i request mika kagehira x reader female?. and let's just say. I'm feeling lucky

these turned out gn anyway woops hey sorry for the fact this took For Fucking Ever! I went to Legoland between starting this and finishing it

Mika Kagehira x gn!reader; where does he take you out on a first date?

contains; Mika being a silly little cutie

word count; 566

YOUR FIRST DATE WITH MIKA EEE be cool Lucky be cool. I love him sorry everyone

HE’S SO NERVOUS LIKE???

he hasn't really been on a “date” before per se, he's been on some outings with people that were interested in him (not that he realised that fact) but he's mostly been too busy with his idol work to think about it.

then you came along.

Mika’s a bit of a romantic, perhaps Shu’s rubbing off on him in that regard, so you can expect him to do everything in his power to impress you! no matter where you go or what you do, he puts on his nicest clothes and does his hair a little fancy for once and once you get there he hands you a rose he picked up on the way to make sure it was as fresh as possible for you!

he’s terrified of setting something up only for you to hate it when you get there, so like Shu he’d opt to discuss it before hand — probably via text, he’s not sure he could keep his head if it was a phone call… asking you out was hard enough (if you weren’t the one that asked him out), so talking in such explicit terms about going on a date with the person he likes may just be his end.

after a lengthy discussion and about a hundred suggestions from both of you, you settle on going for a walk underneath the stars! fun, inexpensive and gives you both plenty of time to get to know each other.

if you want to hold hands, you’re going to have to make the first move — he’s too nervous to do something so bold on a first date. just smile at him sweetly as you take his hand in your own and he’s yours. his hands are a little sweaty because he’s nervous, bless him, but he won’t let go of you for the rest of the night.

Mika hangs off your every word; he asks you about all your favourite things, your hobbies, the book you read last week or the film you went to go see the other day — hey, maybe you could go to the cinema together sometime! he’s a little hesitant to talk about himself when you ask because he doesn’t find himself to be very interesting, but once you get him talking you’ve got a real yapper on your hands. he has a lot of interesting anecdotes from his time in Valkyrie and he’ll recount each and every one if it means you keep looking at him until sunrise.

of course, as it is night time you have to can it somewhere, so once you’ve successfully looped back around on the footpath to the starting point of your date, you both take it as a sign to get home before the sun beats you to your beds.

Mika stumbles back to his dorm with a goofy grin plastered on his face, giggling to himself every time he recalls the way you smiled at him sweetly and the little jokes you exchanged. Ritsu knew where he was going so he doesn’t ask, but he takes it the date went well and goes back to sleep as Mika slips into his own bed and contemplates some ideas for your next date.

please do not repost

[seangelfish]

can I request a cat-reader that mika has taken in? like he found them on the doorstep of his house?? thank you in advance!!

A/N: This is a really interesting request haha but it’s cute! I decided to write it in this format though because I feel like it falls into the headcanons/scenarios category. This is my first time writing a fic about a cat, so please bare with me!

w/ a cat! reader

– He found you after rehearsals on top of his doorstep. You were sat there patiently waiting for him inside a worn out cardboard box.

– He was very confused. Surprised, even. He kind of screamed when he saw you in there – a dirty black cat with big eyes.

– He calls Ritsu right away and asks him if this was his package.

"Nope, I didn't order anything," Ritsu replies. "Wait, you mean there's a living cat in there? Haha, that's cute. What are you going to name it?"

"I haven't even thought about adopting it yet!" Mika cries, kind of overwhelmed with this ordeal. "I'll probably send it to the vet..."

"Aww, that's a shame..."

– He looks back at you. You were just a little kitten. Cute, actually. He couldn't help but kneel down and stroke your head. You liked that very much, purring at his touch. He chuckles at this.

"Heh, you're actually pretty cute!" he says. "Where did you come from? Who brought you here?"

You purr in response.

"Hmm, what should I do with you?"

– He ends up bringing you inside the dorm he shares with Ritsu. First, he should bathe you! You were pretty stinky after all.

– He watches a YouTube tutorial on how to clean you since he doesn't know how. He puts you in the bath and gets the water running, and is pleasantly surprised that you don't react harshly when he starts washing you up.

"Hehe, you're a good cat!" he giggles.

– When he's washing in between your eyes, he notices that you also have heterochromia just like him!

"Woah, you're just like me..." he says, astonished. "Haha, we're so similiar! You have black fur and different coloured eyes!”

— Second, he decides to feed you! He looks in the fridge to see if there’s leftover tuna for you. He places it on a plate and watches you eat it happily. He smiles at this, stroking your head to your tail.

— He ends up taking a few photos of you too. He sends them over to Arashi who squeals in delight, calling him the second the pic was sent.

“Mika-chan! You adopted a cat?!” she exclaims. “What did you name it?”

“I-I didn’t name it anything!” says Mika. “I was planning on bringing it to the vet. It’s a stray I found on my doorstep…”

“Oh, is that so? I think you should keep it! Just so I can visit the cutie too~”

— After spending time with you, washing you up and feeding you, Mika has grown attached. Maybe he should keep you after all…

“Hmm… what should I name you?” he wonders as you look at him curiously. “What about… (Y/N)?”

— You nodded which surprised him a bit, but it was cute nonetheless. When Ritsu arrived home, Mika picks you up to show him the cat that was sent to him. Ritsu was surprised at how much you looked like Mika.

— Ritsu brought Arashi over too. She was SO excited! She immediately started playing with you and you enjoyed her presence!

— Mika tells them that he might be keeping you. Arashi is over the moon, and Ritsu doesn’t have a problem with it either.

— From this day forwards, Mika has done everything with you. He brings you everywhere that is permitted. Takes a lot of photos of you too. Has even introduced you to Shu who has taken a liking to you.

— Sometimes Ritsu would play with you with a cotton ball. Shu would sew you clothes which Mika deeply appreciates!

— Arashi would babysit you whenever Mika was busy with idol training/work. Her roommates, HiMERU and Tetora, were always happy to see you too. If they weren’t available, Jun was able to take care of you. Thankfully, you got along with Jun and Hiyori’s dog Mary quite well.

— Mika would buy cat toys that he hopes you’ll like! He loves watching you play, he finds this time fun. He takes a lot of videos too.

— You would lay on the table beside his laptop as he works on his homework. When he’s learning choreography or lyrics to his new song, you’ll watch and listen. You’ll even fall asleep to his voice.

— He likes waking up everyday to say good morning to you, and kisses you every night. He’s very thankful that you came into his life.

[mamadarama]

same anon here to elaborate on some of the cats (and other pets) in the story:

every member of knights has a descendant of little john/nyaitsu. (only one i have details on atm: izuleo have a big fat cat named king richard who's dumb as rocks[though they both insist otherwise] and spoiled rotten. they didn't know it was a girl until after she was named that. later on they got another cat who they named maid marian before finding out that was a boy. their names have not been changed regardless)

shu adopted a Fancy Pedigree Sphinx (he makes it little sweaters/outfits to keep it warm). mika has a skrunkly black cat he found in a dumpster (alternatively, also thought it could be cool to give him one of those patchwork cats, where the pigmentation on their face is like. split down the middle yanno). anywho these cats are Bonded for Life

tetohina have a Stupid Male Orange Tabby. tetora thinks the cat is a Fierce Warrior while hinata calls it a stinky dum dum (affectionately)

kohiiai actually have three pets. first was the bunny, then the tarantula hiiro brought home a day later, then a while after that, kohaku found a stray kitten in an alleyway and brought it home (by this point hiiro has adjusted to the idea of domesticated pets, and it helps that the kitten was also on the streets [just like him ;;]) kohaku and the cat are both found regularly napping in weird locations (open to suggestions on cat breeds!! i keep going back and forth on what it should be,, i liked the idea of bingus, but also like the idea of fluffy,, currently tentatively thinking oriental long hair maybe? idk. kitten with ear too big for he gotdam head)

subaru (+the rest of trickstar by extension) has a direct descendant of daikichi

similarly, koga has at least one or two corgis, if not a direct descendant of leon. also probably like a bajillion foster dogs. hes using the rockstar money to care for as many dogs as possible

souma still has kamegorou. turtles live a long time,, (also maybe one or two horses as well)

given your Cat Knowledge, i'd love to hear your thoughts on these, or any other characters who you think should have cats! :3

Aaahh thats so cute . i can totally imagine leo having a cat named king richard thats just like that, if someone told me him and izumi have that exact cat back in italy i wouldnt even question it id just take it as fact

you could give kohaku a purebred, but it wouldnt be that realistic to do that. finding a purebred stray/feral at all, much less finding one alive, is so unlikely that the only thing keeping me from saying its impossible is my personal adversity to making absolute claims like that on the possibility of some bizarre freak situation. all strays and ferals are moggies/randombreds, any purebreds you see in shelters are animals surrendered by their owners (its rare, ive been rehabbing cats for 6-7 years now and its only happened 3 times)

however that doesnt mean you cant give him a unique cat !! mutations and weird patterns happen all the time in stray and feral populations . the bobtail gene is pretty common in japanese colonies (at least more common than it is in america) so you could give him a bobtail cat? i think a little high white calico bobtail would suit him :^)

but of course realism doesnt really matter too much, hell i have purebreds in catstars au and theyre all ferals

also hiiro would have either a tarantula or a stick bug or both. idk i can imagine him absolutely adoring stick and leaf bugs for how they look like sticks and leaves , he thinks its charming

depending on how far in the future were talking souma might still have saigoudon. souma grew up with him so its safe to assume theyre around the same age, meaning saigoudon is around 20 years old. horses can live up to 30 and occasionally even longer so theyve still got plenty time left together. if he moves out of his parents house maybe hed get his own horse though

the twins definitely have their own cats and tetora definitely tells young children that meet their cat that its part tiger.

SHU HAVING A HAIRLESS BREED IS SO REAL he would love having a pet he can make clothes for its too perfect . the split face marking youre talking about is most common in tortoiseshell cats , that would be perfect for mika :D

with daikichi and leon im almost certain theyre both fixed because koga and subaru are responsible dog owners but subaru would definitely stick with shibas . i can picture koga either with another corgi or adopting a shepard mix of some kind ..... when he retires hed probably start fostering dogs but until then hed probably be busy with life and stick with only one dog so he can devote all his attention to that one . fostering more than one or two dogs at a time is kind of a full time thing (believe me my step grandmother fosters dogs and owns 11) he definitely volunteers at some sort of animal place, either domestic or exotics or whatever he just loves animals in general (thinking abt the guinea pig card..... )

Murmurs of Flourishing Blossoms - 3

Season: Winter Characters: Kaoru, Mika, Tatsumi, Midori, Izumi, Leo, Shu Translator: taiyaki-translations

Midori: Things are finally back to normal… I’m glad Anzu-san was there to support me. Otherwise, I would have already died…

Mika: Sorry, this was all ‘cause I was bein’ an idiot. I don’t even know how I ended up leavin’ the group~

Izumi: Hah, this guy’s the real idiot. Running off without a smartphone and getting himself lost, I don’t know how he even managed it.

Leo: What~ Everyone found us in the end, didn't they!? Idiot, idiot, Sena’s the idiot!

Kaoru: Haha, everyone must be hungry, right? Let’s hurry up and meet with Itsuki-kun. 

Hm? The person sitting across from Itsuki-kun… Isn’t that the client? Oh, it looks like they’re having a great time talking.

Mika: Ngah?! Oshi-san knew the client from before?

Shu: Honestly, I should be the one who’s surprised, Kagehira. Aside from the fact that you suddenly came here, I can’t believe a photographer I met in Paris brought in ES idols from Japan. 

It’s true that many photographers prefer models with the same cultural background as themselves because it’s easier to understand each other, but this is too much of a coincidence.

Tatsumi: Actually, I was curious about what happened when the client met Kaoru-san. I heard it was an interesting story?

Kaoru: Huh? Didn’t Anzu-chan tell you? 

You didn’t tell anyone because I was also involved  and you didn't know if I was okay with everyone hearing about it? 

Haha, you’re always thinking of the idols first. Then I’ll share that story with everyone now ♪

So, one night, not long after Christmas…

Kaoru: Oh, they haven’t removed the Christmas decorations yet. I wasn’t able to spend Christmas with Anzu-chan this year, but at least we are able to enjoy the snowy scenery together. 

“If you hadn’t accompanied me home, I might not have seen such a beautiful night view, so thank you”? You’re busy preparing for StarFes, there’s no need to thank me. 

They’ll probably redecorate this place for New Year’s soon. Actually, I prefer Christmas to New Year’s…

I ended up spending this Christmas at Starmony Dorms with everyone. There was a Christmas party where everyone exchanged gifts, and Hibiki-kun prepared a huge, beautiful Christmas tree that was pretty impressive ♪ (1)

Anzu-chan has been busy with SS Committee work, so I was hoping you could take some time off during Christmas, but as soon as it passed, you went right back to work. As expected of you~ 

Still, I have to nag you at least a little bit. No matter how busy you are at the end of the year, it’s not safe to work this late? 

(Come to think of it, the temperature is lower than during the day. Anzu-chan is a girl, so she must be more afraid of the cold…?)

Looks like it's gotten cold all of a sudden. Anzu-chan, please sit on this bench and rest for a while. I’ll buy a warm drink from the vending machine over there—

Hey, I’m back~ You didn’t wait long, did you? 

Here you go, hot chocolate. If you don’t want to drink it, use it to warm up your hands.

Kaoru: Girls are beautiful flowers that must be looked after carefully. Anzu-chan, take care of yourself too ♪

“Do you remember when we first met?” At that time, I said to Anzu-chan, “a beautiful flower has bloomed in Yumenosaki Academy”…? Haha, now that I think about it, I feel embarrassed. (2)

Oh, it suddenly started snowing. I’m glad we both brought umbrellas. Let’s head back quickly.

(Really, why am I tongue-tied all of a sudden? I was definitely able to talk properly earlier…!)

(Is it because we are done discussing work? I need to stay alert and respond properly~ Should we continue talking about the past? If I think about the details, I might be able to shift my focus.)

Huh? “Do you think this will be the last snow of the year”? Ah, time really flies. A whole year has passed in the blink of an eye.

A lot has happened this year. Last year around this time, I hadn’t even graduated from Yumenosaki yet, but now Anzu-chan is close to graduation. 

I remember last year’s StarFes MV was being filmed at a restaurant near the school. Anzu-chan even dragged Rei-kun’s coffin over, right? (3)

“It’s actually quite a useful means of transportation”? Haha, that’s why you brought Ritsu-kun to the site in that coffin too when we were filming at the ice rink? ♪ (4)

But next time something like that happens, ask us for help—

Uwah, who’s this person that suddenly popped out? That surprised me~ 

Huh? You want me… to be your model?

Kaoru: That’s roughly how it happened. To be honest, both Anzu-chan and I were surprised at the time~

Tatsumi: I see. After that, the client found out that Anzu-san is a producer and asked her to recommend some other idols, so Mika-san, Midori-san and I were also invited. 

I’m really happy that the producer thought of us when she was told to find idols who have a “gentle and soft” image ♪

Mika: Nnah, how did Oshi-san get to know this photographer?

Shu: As you may have suspected, this photographer is an impatient person who doesn’t make plans and just does whatever that comes to their mind. Well, I can’t say it’s a bad trait for an artist, but—

Leo: That’s right, that’s right! You have to catch the inspiration when it comes! Wahaha, Shu knows me well ☆

Shu: Hm, I didn’t mean to praise you. 

Anyway, isn’t there a big exhibition opening in Paris? They asked to take your pictures for that exhibition. 

Of course, I also didn’t want to miss this opportunity to showcase my own works. However, they already made a reservation for the exhibition hall that I had my eye on, so we coordinated the use of the space and gradually became friends. 

After choosing you as their models, they said they would hold their exhibition in the rose garden, and gave me the space they had reserved. I offered to help make the costumes so as not to be indebted to them. 

Mika: Eh?! Oshi-san is helpin’ us make our costumes? 

I’m so excited…! I’m really looking forward t’ collaboratin’ with Oshi-san…!

Enstars Pokémon HCs (that I may or may not draw??) This is quite a long list so I’ll put it under a read more

Ibara has a Seviper and Yuzuru has a Zangoose. I’m right and you know it. Also debating between Ibara having a Roserade or a Ferrothorn but y’know he can have both. As a treat

Jun has a Mightyena (he’s had it since he was a kid when it was a lil Poochyena)

Hiyori has a Meganium (the vibes just made a lot of sense for me)

Nagisa has so many fossil Pokémon. Like. That’s his entire team. He also has a small army of Carbink but no one knows where he keeps finding them—

Funny story so like. I don’t know if Bloody Mary would be a Pokémon or a regular dog here but if she was a Pokémon she’d probably be a Lilipup

You’d think Niki would have a Munchlax but he absolutely cannot ‘cause between the two of them they’d just go through too much food too fast (I fully believe he’d have a Morpeko tho)

RYUSEITAI ALL HAVE MATCHING MINIOR IN THEIR RYUSEI COLORS AND YOU CAN ATTEMPT TO PRY THIS FROM MY TINY COLD HANDS BUT YOU’LL FAIL

Mama has a Bewear and a Kangaskhan (the mama Pokémon of all time)

Insta user fuyuhikoswife said Rinne looks like a shiny Pawmot and I don’t know if he’d have one but I can’t get that out of my head so I thought it’d be a fun thing to share (they also said Hiiro looks like a shiny Pawmi and yeah)

HiMERU Zoroark. AND he has an Inteleon (that used to be Kaname’s Sobble because someone, I can’t remember who, drew Kaname with a Sobble and I absolutely subscribe to the idea of Kaname having one of the crybabiest Pokémon ever) that only kinda listens to him. Like it’ll cooperate when necessary but it would prefer its original owner y’know??? I mean he could also have his own Inteleon that he raised instead if that makes you less sad—

Rinniki Volbeat and Illumise <3

I think 2wink Plusle and Minun are a given—

Shu’s got a Furfrou and Mika has a Mimikyu

Kuro has a Leavanny (y’know the sewing and. Mom friend vibes)— it was a Swadloon during his delinquent days

Wataru’s got a Drifblim I think that’s also kind of a given (I don’t know if he’d have a Mr. Mime ‘cause he’s enough of a clown but he’d have a lot of Pidoves/similar bird Pokémon)

ALSO FUNNY STORY so I was originally gonna make Kohaku’s 6th Pokémon a Drifloon, like it tried taking him away since it mistook him for a small child after he left home but then he caught it. Until I figured he probably wouldn’t go anywhere near ghost types—

So anyways Hajime has a Drifloon ‘cause it tried grabbing his siblings but he was like “hey that’s not nice >:(“ and it felt bad but Hajime took it in and now they’re besties uwu

Aira leans towards cutesy/heart themed Pokémon like Luvdisc, Woobat, but I also think it’s so incredibly important that he has a Ducklett. Y’know.

Shinobu just has all the ninja Pokémon, like I mean Ninjask, Nincada, Accelgor, etc, but his main is Greninja ‘cause it’s a ninja and a frog (he’s also very partial to frog Pokémon)

Anzu has Delibird (to help her with work) and a Chansey (to keep her alive when she does too much work)

Subject to more additions probably

A Premature Burial Episode 3

A Premature Burial 

Episode 3

Season: Winter 

Characters: Mika, Shu

(Noon the next day. Itsuki family villa, where Shu Itsuki was born and raised.) 

Shu: How nostalgic. 

Hmph. It’s certainly an unbecoming building that’s only halfway western. The only redeeming quality is it makes that unpleasant Tenshouin jealous. 

Mika: Nnah~ Oshisan really likes western stuff, don’t ya.

Shu: Japanese style is tasteful as Japanese. You can’t do anything in halves, and I think The Rokumeikan* is an embarrassment that will pertain in Japanese history.

*A two story building that was built in Tokyo 1883, and is a controversial symbol of westernisation in the Meiji period. 

I suppose some art can only be born in such transitional chaos. 

Oh well. You’re well acquainted with this house, so leave your belongings in the spare room you used before.

At the moment we aren’t housing any guests, so I believe that room has been left as it was. 

While you’re doing that I'm going to give my regards to my parents. 

Mika: Ah, let’s go together. It’s been a while since yer family looked after me, so I wanna greet ‘em properly too. I even brought gifts. 

Shu: Hmph. You seem to have learned some manners. 

Mika: I gotta lotta experience in society, ‘specially in the past year—-

By the way Oshisan, it might be too late to ask but, why am I stayin’ with yer parents? 

Shu: It certainly is too late now. Also I’d like to clarify, this isn’t my parents home. 

The Itsuki family main residence is in Kansai, this is simply the villa that was built in Tokyo by the previous head of the family several generations ago. 

So to speak, this is just a foothold for advancing into Tokyo, a front-line base. Or a holiday house. 

The main residence is a very old-fashioned Japanese style, and in terms of convenience it is inferior to modern architecture. 

Out of concern for my grandfather, who was in poor health, this building was purposely designed to be barrier free, which is how my family came to move here. 

Mika: Kinda like a nursin’ home fer yer grandfather. 

Shu: Yes. That was before I was born, and even though this is the house I was born and raised in, I have no problem with that. 

Though my grandfather worried those around him by saying he was going to die over and over, in the end he survived more than 10 years. 

It was probably a ruse that my western-minded grandfather had created because he wanted to live in a European style house. 

Mika: No way, that ain’t—

Shu: I hate that it’s possible, in my grandfather’s case. 

You only saw him when we went to visit him together, therefore to you he was simply an emaciated sick man. 

To the Itsuki family, my grandfather was always the eye of the storm. 

A disaster of a man that would blow up on a whim and make a mess of everything. 

When I was a child, time and time again my grandfather would cause trouble. 

However, nobody could complain because my grandfather was hailed as the man who restored the Itsuki bloodline. Everyone is fed up.

Perhaps this time too is just another one of my grandfather's usual tantrums, considering the way Onii-sama spoke. 

Mika: (Ah, just what ya’d expect from Oshisan. I’m glad~ It’s probably just like Ryu-kun-san and Nazuna-nii said.) 

(Oshisan’s grandfather passin’ away was just a silly lie, a joke, he's probably full of life.) 

(Oshisan seems real calm compared to what I heard from Ryu-kun-san…) 

(That’s right, he ain’t a child that panics every time anythin’ happens anymore.) 

Shu: …What is it? Stop looking at me with that unpleasant pitiful expression! 

Mika: Nnah~ Sorry? What I’m sayin’ is, when I was a freeloader I didn’t ask ya anythin’ outta consideration—-

So this time, I’m happy I get to hear about yer home life♪

Shu: Hmph. I wouldn’t mind even if you asked me tactlessly. You’re already family in more ways than one. 

Well, if you had asked me something at the time I was unstable, I suppose I would only have fallen irrationally angry. 

[sucrows]

Hi!! I just read your nazuna post and I love it <3 curious though, do you have any other transmasc hcs for other characters? Or was that just a one time thing for the drabble

I love considering any and every character as trans when the whim hits me tbh, butttt I do of course have favorites so I'm going to make a list of who and why for both horny and non horny reasons: (under cut because i got too invested lmao)

Nazuna: Ok we already know i just have the hots for him BUT theres also other reasons. One of the big factors in Nazuna's misery in Ex Valk was because of his voice changing and no longer being able to sing his old parts. Can you imagine the angst potential in that being because he started T? ESPECIALLY if he were stealth? Like, I highly doubt he would've been able to get away with it but, if he were, then his voice changing would've been something occurring due to something he actively chose to go through. Would he feel like him choosing his joy in transitioning is the same as choosing Shu and Mika's misery? There's just so much to consider there

Mayoi: I also have the hots for them and every character I have them for is schrodinger's gender where they're whatever I want at the moment. Otherwise, he's a weirdo! A freak! I love that for him! I enjoy his funkiness and think he should embrace it with his gender. A lot of trans people are already outcasts so fuck it! he's already an outcast why not embrace it. Not to mention it would add another layer of depth to his insecurities. Transmasc, trans man, transfem, trans woman, nonbinary, agender, genderfluid, all of it!! any of it!!!

Kuro: Ok, weird one, hear me out though. It stemmed after I read this on ao3 (AFAIK the author does not have a tumblr). He feels pressure to be good for his unit, his friends, his family, etc etc- but one of the things he isn't good at is basically anything "feminine". He's a very stereotypically manly person in appearance and its often what he's recognized for. What if though, he just... starts longing to be what he's not? Maybe he spends time in groups and circles with more women because of his more stereotypical feminine interests and he finds himself feeling a bit too at home there. Maybe he gets a few opportunities to wear a cute, pretty, or beautiful getup and he's like... oh... i like this. Just!!! Agh!!! I like the idea of transfemme Kuro a lot.

Hiyori: Ignored youngest daughter raised to ignore her own feelings discovers he's happier as a man and goes on to do his own thing but still feeling an obligation to the family that raised him even though he was pushed aside in favor of his older brother? Once again, angst potential. Oh also, he's already really fucky with his appearance in not being scared to wear prettier, more feminine shit in a way that implies he know what he's doing and i love that. Could just be him being cool as fuck, or that tboy swag. Either way, I like it.

Ibara: oh i just think it's be neat, otherwise though, we've all seen the unbloomed bogie time card. Similar vein as Kuro, he was raised in a an environment filled with nothing but men, men, and more men. He probably didn't even consider it an option for a really long time that he could be anything but a man. The way I see it happening is through a convo with someone who is already out and trans and hearing about their experiences. He thinks the experience they describe sounds to similar to his background thoughts on his gender and then it suddenly hits him that "oh no... am I?". He would probably stay in the closet a longgg time and then one day just come out all at once.

Oof I don't have to much energy for the rest of these but some others im fond of: Natsume, Shu, Niki, & Ritsu.

[starpros-sunshine]

*crying cat reaction pic*

Pain </3

And then he gets all those phone calls and they don't even really talk to him,,, I mean Shu literally just scolds him and then angrily hangs up without even giving him a chance to reply,,and Kanata and Rei are much much nicer about it but they don't really have a proper 'conversation' either,, The only one who properly talks to him is Rinne (which it's so sweet how he wants his brothers first easter to be a fun one)

[enstarrievalkyrie]

Being Shu's gn sibling💛

Note: the divider above is made by me it's suppose to be presents🎁🎁 lol.

• Being Shu's sibling you both are either really close or really separated. But in this case, you guys are close, like separation anxiety close.

• Since Shu was bullied, he had no other friends to share his feelings to so he trusts you a lot (before meeting Kiryu). But after becoming friends with Kuro, Shu introduced him to you. You just stood there behind Shu, with your head peaking out from the side as you stared at the stranger.

• Shu is protective of you because he is afraid that you would leave him and he would be alone. His behavior made you develop a difficulty in socializing with others so you just stayed by his side.

• When Shu first met Mika he was reluctant to introduce you to him. So he didn't(you got mad at him for that) but you soon found out about Mika when he first came to Yumenosaki. You guys are basically in the same class.

• You really like Mika and he likes you too, you are like a sister to him. Its a surprise that you both got along since like I said before your social skills aren't good. Whenever Shu is being mean to Mika you would approach his frowning figure and give him a small candy. His bright smile just made your day.🍬🍭

• You were probably the one who requested Shu to let Mika join the Valkyrie as a back-up dancer. Took a lot of convincing for Shu to accept Mika as a member in Valkyrie but once he did you were literally jumping up on him.

• That's when Shu realized how much you adore Mika and it honestly made him kinda worried. So he kept an eye on Mika for a while until he trusted him.

• When Shu was being harsh on Nito and Mika during the war, you would make them small snacks in an attempt to cheer them up. I can see you caressing their hair as they lay down on your lap, this calms them down.

• After the war is over and Shu was in his depressed phase, you and Mika took care of him. That was the time when Shu started to actually care for Mika and that really made you happy.

• Shu trusts you in Mika's hand. He's more considerate of Mika now, asking for his opinion when making a new outfit, waiting for Mika before you and him go home, or just including him in small conversations.

"What do you think of this colour, Kagehira?" Shu asked

"Ngh!, yer're asking me oshi San?"

"who else would I ask," Shu annoyingly said

• During shopping for fabrics, you and Mika would hide behind Shu when someone comes and tries to intimidate you both. Shu came running to you guys from the other aisle to save the day. He would scold the stranger until they went away and then allow both of you to cling to his arm.

• Shu loves to make you cute little outfits that fits his aesthetics and whenever he sees you wearing them he would proudly announces it to anyone who decided to converse with them.

• You like to make accessories during your free time for Shu and Mika. When Shu found out you not only made these small gifts for him, he got jealous. Shu would include those accessories in his outfit while Mika would usually put it in his treasure box with all the other accessories you made for him.

"Kagehira! What do you think of my outfit today?" Shu said with a proud smile.

"Ya add the gift that Y/N gave! Look they gave it to me too! Just in a different colour hehe" Mika was excited because now you, him, and Shu can be matching.

"humm, but mine was obviously made with better quality and the details are much more intricate than yours!" Jealous Shu is a mean Shu

• Overall Shu is just a brave, protective, and loving brother to you and you, as his sibling, he feels this need to care for you. You are his precious little brother/sister and he love you lots. Mika on the other hand is like your best friend. He too, cares for you even without Shu's orders. He sometimes sees you as his sibling too since he is staying in the same mansion with you.

• You love them lots and couldn't think of a day where you would leave them.♥️♥️

Send me some ideas guys pls.🎁

Can I request Mika with a gn reader ? A fluff about pets maybe ? Chronic pain flare acting up and somehow playing the Valkyrie song on the game helped to distract me from it

𝚏𝚞𝚣𝚣𝚢 𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐 | mika kagehira x reader

[an]: hello, lovely! tysm for requesting! <33 yes, i love mika sm omg ToT he’s literally the most precious thing ever he’s 🫶🫶 would die for him fr. hope u enjoy!

summary: if there was one thing you’d sacrifice your entire being for to go well, is your relationship with mika and…taking your cat a nice and behaved shower

pairing: mika kagehira x g/n!reader!

genre: (too much) fluff!

“coco!”

the sounds of footsteps running through the hallways of your house was loud, watching every step you run on in order not to slip on your home’s tiled floor. turning to the right— you finally managed to catch up with a certain four legged runner that was soaked with warm water. your cat struggled, but you managed to hold grip on her and warm the kitty down with a towel.

today was like any other day. some labeled as cat owners’ awakening nightmare, is the day where it was time to give you pet cat a shower. coco hated water, any water that touched her feet, she despised it. you had been doing this to her ever since she was a little kitten. you had found her nearby a road, and since her mother seemed to not have returned, you were taken in for her care. you loved your pet cat very much but…this was one of the things you didn’t liked doing. giving her a shower. if it was time for her bath she’d start running faster than an ostrich around your house.

walking back inside the bathroom where your boyfriend was waiting, you closed the door behind you and gently placed coco down back in the warm water, avoiding her scratches near your face. she was feisty in moods like this, it was an easy predicament after all. “glad you actually caught her. lil’ kitty probably left soap around yer place,” he says, and you sighed, putting back your gloves on while mika did the same. “i can’t believe i have to give her a bath once in 4 weeks. this is a nightmare…” you spoke, before huffing out a breath of exhaustion. today, mika decided to give you a hand in giving your cat a bath, which was almost like a sign from the angels. you were glad he was with you right now when your parents were both away. the two of you started dating months ago, and things were going smoothly and a lot well. shu had a lot of said; “pros and cons” about his idol partner but you ignored him, the valkyrie leader was speaking too much. you often couldn’t believed why mika looked so up to his partner.

coco continued to hiss at the water, jumping around in the bath tub that you and mika prepared while your boyfriend held her as gently as he could. the water splashed towards the both of you, and mika struggled holding her down. “yeah, maybe we should worry ‘bout that later, y/n, yer cat startin’ to act up again!” mika exclaims, almost in a panic when coco started to meow very loudly. sighing, you grabbed the scrub and soap and continued to give your cat a bath, also holding her down not too down on the tub. 10 minutes inside of the bathroom, you can sense coco shivering and giving you those pitiful eyes of hers. mika was doing his best to calm the cat down, and it eventually worked somehow. unlike earlier, she was going feral.

the battle was finally over, and the shower mission was complete. you dried coco up with her special towel and with a beam on your faces, you and your boyfriend exchanged high fives. at last, it was done. while you dried your cat in the living room, mika helped by cleaning the bathroom and wiping off the soap around the house that coco left when she escaped the tub earlier on your first attempt. the cat seemed to now be relaxed by the way you were rubbing her head while drying her with the towel, now that she was back to herself, you too relaxed and leaned on the couch with a sigh.

it didn’t take too long until mika returned after cleaning the area. he spots you just relaxing on the floor, cat on your lap being dried up as you move your head up to face the ceiling, back leaning against the couch from behind. silently, the male sat down on the sofa—weight shifting down over your back. you can feel his hands lay on both your shoulders, his legs now swinging on either sides of your arms and you feel his face watch overs yours even when your eyelids were shut tight. when you opened them up, you see it. those beautiful mismatched colored eyes, with a daffodil yellow and dark green pupils just staring deep at yours. he was lovely.

“you seemed to be relaxed, mind if i join?” he questions, then you couldn’t help but crack a small soft smile over your face. his hands were smooth, you can feel a warm radiance stick to the tips of his fingers over your shoulders to your cheeks. mika smiles back. “no need to ask me, idiot. i’m not relaxed that much yet…after all the work we did just to take coco a shower. but hey, after this wanna—

“cuddle?”

“—watch a movie…?”

silence took over. you can hear coco yawn from your lap. the silhouette that reflected over to the ceiling changed from a soft gray to an orange shadow that felt like the afternoon sun was close to setting down. clock ticks was all you heard. the sound of coco’s paws scratching her ears. in the meantime, your boyfriend laughs of how the tangerine colored outline cast back towards your e/c pupils with a dim blush scattered down. unlike his, mika loves your eye color. “wanna go with both?” he proposed, and you immediately stood back up straight, making mika wince from your sudden action.

another yawn escaped coco’s lips. you looked at your lover with now a visible blush on your face. “let’s just go with your suggestion,” you implied, and mika too couldn’t help but blush. yet he beamed towards you after.

after coco was officially dried up, you and mika were both quick to head back up to your room to cuddle. it was a pretty cold afternoon, it was expected since it was like 5pm. mika didn’t mind spending the night in your place, there was no practice tomorrow anyways so he’ll just inform to shu that he won’t be there for the day. somehow, coco managed to follow you both inside of your room, and the cat immediately lied down on her bed that was seated next to yours.

the moment you sat down on the cushions to catch a breath, the thing you knew next was mika dragging you down with his warmth on the bed, pillows fluffing over as you let out a yelp. your boyfriend giggled, and you hid your red face in his arms. well that was fast, though you didn’t mind. the afternoon was almost turning into the great evening, however it was the best feeling out there. just cuddled along with the person you love the most in this world, his arms wrapped around yours, it almost felt like he was too scared to let you go. you knew…you knew much about his past. it didn’t mean that you dated him because you pitied mika, it was because he was the most unique one you knew with honest flaws. he was like you, earning a dislike towards the stare of others.

the orange skies started to disappear along with the clouds, steadily. as you sink your head deeper in his warmth, mika sighs, and you felt him smile over your head. “this feels nice…” he spoke, and you nodded. “we should do this all the time, ya know? i could almost do it anywhere with ya,” he added, and you blushed even harder. his words weren’t intentional to make you feel fuzzy, but in some reasons they always seemed like it was targeted to you for real. brushing your hair while you slowly drifted to sleep, mika looks down over your face and smiles. you looked back, and there was an instant electric connecting flying over.

mika stick his forehead to yours, and closes his eyes, feeling satisfied. “you’re lovely,” he says, and your eyes sparkled. “the loveliest one i know. you’re so lovely…i love you. s’much…” he adds, and that’s where the cherry bomb splashed over. pulling your hands up towards his cheeks, mika opens his eyes in surprise, and with mid-wide eyes, your gorgeous smile reflected in his mismatched colored irises. “i love you, too,” is what he heard erupt from your mouth. such a sweet reply, he hopes to hear that from you all the time. a wish.

the two of you closed your eyes, ready to lean for a kiss. although, before any of that happened, coco suddenly jumped between the both of you, interrupting the intimate moment of the day. you and mika were startled, and coco just spun around three times before lying down on the bed—acting like nothing happened. you scolded your pet, face burning while mika scratched the nape of his neck, nervously. “coco! what was that for..!?” you yelled, obviously irritated and sheepish. mika chuckles, “looks like yer cat got a lil’ jealous.”

“geez…! coco you ruined a moment..!” you simply add next, but coco only licked her paws in reply. you groaned in irritation. “hey, is alright. i’m sure she didn’t mean it. i think. well coco is a cat after all she prolly only did it since she sensed ya?” mika says, questionably. now it was your turn to sigh heavily, “coco never liked my bed. she always either slept down next to mine of to the window still. it’s her first time doing this.”

“if she wants to join us that ya wouldn’t mind, right?” mika asks, and you smiled. what calmed you down more was when he planted a small kiss over your forehead instead. that seemed to do the trick, he thinks. dinner never happened anymore, since when you both drifted off to bed, it was final.

being in his arms was heaven after all. even if coco was between you two the whole time.

a/n: this was too much istg i’m gonna evaporate

YES BOSS o7

okay okay okay so prologue starts with shu in france talking to like. kuro on the phone (shocking!! he never calls anyone except mika) kuro talks about doing something with nazuna and shu goes quiet for a second and kuro is like "oh sorry" and it makes shu a little ticked off because he hates that its still weird and fucked up between the two of them and he wants to be nazuna's friend again because he's grown a lot since the old days. kuro encourages him a bit and then they hang up and shu books a flight back to japan

kuro mentions this to nazuna and they talk about the past and stuff theres kuronazu bait in here because i love them ANYWAY fast forward shu and nazuna get to have that aforementioned conversation and shu basically says something along the lines of "is there anything i can do to properly apologize to you?" and nazuna really doesn't think he needs to go that far they're both adults who are capable of having a normal conversation but he also is like this is the perfect opportunity to torment him a little bit so he tells him he has to join ra*bits for their next live that they're currently working on, and they have to do a new song together. shu is like oh of course i would be honored etc. and nazuna is like no no no. i get most of the creative control and shu is like wh. what do you mean and nazuna is like we'll perform together but it will be with MY ideas. full ra*bits style. he's going to make shu put bunny ears on. shu has a momentary WHY I NEVER moment but then he calms down and is like no. what nito is doing is also art and i should not shy away from challenge this is what growth is about so he agrees and nazuna says he will get back him with some outfit sketches tomorrow. he posts something on social media like "big things coming for ra*bits soon! maybe even with an appearance from another familar unit?" so he can't back out now

shu talks to mika about this because of course he does and mika has a normal grrr jealousy reaction like he does often especially because its nazuna (you booked a flight home to see nazunanii and not me? type of deal) and he says hes not going to let him perform on stage with nazuna without him. they have a bit of a fight (predictably) where shu says that this is his problem and that its his responsibility to apologize to nito because its not mika's fault and yada yada but mika is Stubborn so he says hes going to tell nazuna to put him in it regardless of what shu wants and storms out.

mika and nazuna end up having like a whole conversation because even now mika still has a bit of resentment towards him for believing that shu was beyond saving and that mika should've left him and nazuna properly apologizes to him for saying that, and he thanks him for being there for shu when no one else was. he admits he still cares about him and always did even if their relationship has been strained for a long time. mika ends up also apologizing for being immature and admits that it was fair of nazuna to resent shu considering the way he used to act back then and he also admits that he missed what the three of them used to have even if it wasn't healthy. nazuna says something like they still have the opportunity to make something new that's not the same but not in a bad way, since they've grown and are new people now. mika probably cries and nazuna gives him a hug

at this point we probably get the post valkyrie divorce make up scene that they have every event like this is their thing no one else gets it but its their thing

im not particularly versed in writing the babits but part of this event also definitely has to do with hajime considering how he felt about nazuna performing with valkyrie again in the past. i imagine he's conflicted of being happy for nazuna about reconciliing with his old unit but also afraid that he's going to leave him and jealous of what the three of them have sorta. i imagine nazuna is like briefing shu on all of the ideas he came up with so the ra*bits juniors and mika end up alone together at some point and maybe go out and do something together for Bonding Reasons i don't know this part is loose and hajime warms up to mika a bit more. mika and all of ra*bits also spend some time together while shu and kuro are working on outfits since the live is so soon and its cute

by the end of it hajime gets the verbal confirmation from valkyrie that they are not stealing his niichan from him that he was looking for and all is well and good

anyway towards the end they hold the live and the outfits are Embarrassing by shu standards they're probably in bunny ears and bloomers and high socks and cutesy lacy blouses. a little bit ouji styled? mika is fine with this i mean he was already a bunny in puffy bunny but he's feeling anxious about wearing the same cutesy outfit as nazuna and all the other "small petite people that oshi-san likes lookin' at" etc. but shu tells him it looks best on him and he's ecstatic about it and then nazuna teases him about being soft with mika

the ending portion is mainly introspection about the past and the future and growth i imagine the whole thing takes place in spring for thematic reasons. nazuna sort of praises how far shu and mika have come since they were in a unit together and they do the same to him etc etc its sweet. nazuna tells shu at some point that he didnt actually need him to do anything to apologize he wouldve accepted it anyway he just kinda wanted to mess with him (and he calls him shu-chin at the end of the sentence). shu is like YOU- no, no i deserved that, actually and then the three of them laugh abt it

and then the final epilogue is exvalk getting brunch together like several weeks and being normal friends again the end :)

ADDITIONALLY:

assuming this was a real event this would probably be kind of like the twilight pentagram dawning angels event thing? like its a song event and a tour in one

the song title is something cutesy like all of ra*bits' songs are and i imagine it has the word mirai (future) in it somewhere

there is at least one mika 'ngaahhhh' in the song and also several portions of mostly nazuna and a bit of everyone else poking fun at shu a little bit. him being embarrassed is part of it

the 5*s are shu and nazuna naturally and its the kind where the cards are like mirrored. like the hiiro and tetsu cards where they're fighting or those subahokke cards where they're holding hands except they're back to back on stage

hajime and mika are the 4*s and tomochin and mitsuru are 3*s

uhhhh thats it ifyou read all of this ily

do you guys want to hear the valkra*bits combined event i made up and have been thinking about since like maybe 2 months into being in this fandom

[yandere-daze]

YAHOOO 🖼 ANON HERE I JUST HAD A VERY COOL BURST OF SOMETHHING (THIS)

SO LIKE SELF AWARE AU RIGHT. YEAH.

i dont know if you play jpstars, but when you play the anniv and theme mvs (the one that has a little orange square bubble in the left corner of the music option, theyre in the farthest below among the unit categories n all that) basically the all stars mv, the one thats gonna sing are your team members and the character in your center will be the lead singer! I JUST THINK THATS AWESOME LIKE YOU CAN CHANGE IT WHENEVER AND YOU CAN MAKE ANYONE YOU LIKE SING, in my case I always put mika in the center heheheh my silly little scrunkly!!

theres also this thing abt the surprising thanks!! mv (7th/recent anniv mv) that theyll give the main three in your mv (center and the ones beside them) a special outfit change! there are 4 options that you can pick before the mv, the first being random (among the ones thats gonna be mentioned) and the others being cherry (the outfit stays the same), 777 (changes to the one like in the official/yt mv, super awesome and sparkly) and jackpot! in jackpot i assumed theyre gonna choose a random one, so its basically a gamble.

FUNNY THING MY FIRST TIME PLAYING THE MV AND PICKED RANDOM THEY GAVE ME JACKPOT AJD GAVE ME MY TWO FAVORITE MIKA AND ARASHI FEATURE SCOUT 5* OUTFIT THAT I DONT EVEN HAVE THE CARD OF I WAS RLLY HAPPY, they gave ritsu the 6th anniv uniform (he was wearing the meowsketeer costume LMAO).

afterwards I tried to put shu in the main 3 to see my absolute favorite feature scout outfit that i REALLY want but have never gotten the chance or luck of getting and set it to jackpot, but he kept getting rlly generic and lame ones 💀 i was so distraught like i tried over 5 times and it aint doing shit.

they did gave mika the bunny⭐️puffy uniform two times and thats cute though!! i love him so much.

SORRY FOR THE RAMBLE AND RANTING LMAO 😭😭 i just think itd be a very very interesting thing to talk abt self aware au wise!! i wanna hear your thoughts abt it too if you dont mind hehe, thank you for your hardwork as always!

oh and ps the others in my mv team was midori and koga, i have midoris dollhouse card and kogas prison card thingy, my naru 5* is her pretty 5 one. i also picked mama from the initial option! hehe yeah im a mamap too, and he came home rlly easily too!! you can give your thoughts on these or not, its up to you, this is so fun wauuu

HAVE A GREAT DAY TOO WAHAHA ⭐️

I do indeed play jp stars too, though I've been on a bit of a break since the acanthe event that basically took all of my dias away to get Mika djdjd So it's been a while since I last played!

I love the songs where the voices actually change depending on who you put on your team! I also love making Mika my center, I can't help it, his voice is just so beautiful 🥺 I love him so dearly I'm not even kidding

I hope you have a great day too!!! 😊💕💕

I imagine that in a self-aware AU they would be even more honored to be put on the team if you played a song like that! Usually all they can do is follow the moves and watch as you play the game. They perk up when you choose one of their own songs because it means they can show you their passion properly and sing just for you! Meanwhile they probably don't enjoy dancing to someone else's song that much. Why choose their song over one of their own?

But with the ones where the voices change? Oh, they're very happy!! You could have chosen anyone else but you put them on the team! These songs don't have an advantage for any particular color or unit members so you had complete free reign when it came to picking the idols you wanted.

So when you chose them over all the others? They're so so happy!! Especially the one you decide to put as the center. You love them the most, don't you? Oh they love you so much too!!!

And omg I didn't know that that was a thing for surprising thanks??? I actually haven't played the song yet so this was completely news to me! That's such a cool feature! I already was impressed with the way the beatmap would change in fusionic stars depending on who you put as center but now we also get outfit changes? And it's even possible to get them to wear outfits you don't even have? That's so cool!!

Imagine if this wasn't actually in the game originally and the characters just put that feature into the game themselves in hopes of impressing you with all the outfits they have to offer. You may not have pulled for their cards but that's okay, they'll just have to show you what you've been missing out on and maybe then you'll reconsider and give them some more attention!

At the same time, maybe the idols try to mess with the wardrobe of the ones you seem to prefer and only give them the really basic outfits you'll find boring. Don't they shine way brighter compared to them?

So direct your gaze their way and forget about those idols that couldn't even be bothered to dress up properly for you!

Meanwhile your favorites in question are upset that someone replaced their clothes without their knowledge. They wanted to show off an outfit you sadly didn't manage to get to cheer you up a bit but now that was so rudely taken away from them.

Please choose them again, they promise they'll make it up to you next time!!

Hihi! I really loved your arashi nee-chan x reader! It was so cute! May I request a Mika one where the reader is pretty skilled at embroidery but she’s embarrassed (I’ve noticed people often think it’s like,,, for grannies ;-;)so she hides it? And he finds out somehow??Maybe she’s Valkyrie’s producer or something? Thank you in advance if you do decide to write it, and don’t forget to rest enough and drink lots of water!

Omg I should have gotten this done a lot sooner but I was so busy and Word crashed on me :’). This is quite long, about 1.6k words X’D. AND I AM JUST GOING TO SAY THIS NOW BUT THIS WAS SO WHOLESOME TO WRITE LIKE I WAS PHAT UWU-ING THIS ENTIRE TIME. I love Mika ugh he’s adorable :’))))))

Mika X Fem!Embroiderer Reader:

You sat in the handicrafts club, sorting out the staging setup for Valkyrie’s next DreFes performance, which was approximately two weeks away from now. “Hmm…hopefully the costumes are finished soon so there’s one less thing for me to worry about. Oh, and some of the lighting still needs to be rigged in preparation…I should let the operators know about that,” you mumbled to yourself, scribbling down your schedule in a cute notebook Mika gave you for your birthday last year.

 The notebook was a light baby blue in colour, decorate           d with black and silver lace. There were bits of paper sticking out from the pages and all sorts of little stickers covering the front cover. “Alright…just need to work out when the stylist is available so I can contact her…aaaand done!” You closed the notebook with satisfaction and leaned back in your chair.

 It was about 3:15 in the afternoon, so you had about 15 minutes left of your spare period. “No one’s around…so maybe I’ll work on my embroidery,” you hummed, pulling out a medium sized embroidery hoop from your bag that had the beginnings of a beautiful cherry blossom pattern on it. You also grabbed a needle and some coloured threads from your kit, fearing that if you took anything from the handicrafts club, Shu would find out and have your head.

 Sighing, you began to work on completing the branches of the cherry blossom tree, threading the brown string into the desired pattern.

 ~~~

 “(Y/N)-chan~! Are ya in here?”

 Startled, you shoved your embroidery hoop into your lap and quickly scooted your chair forward to hide it from view. “Oh, Mika. You gave me a bit of a fright there,” you said, watching as the 2nd year’s expression turned into a slightly panicked one. “Bwah! Sorry ‘bout that, I guess I didn’ realise ya’d actually be in ‘ere.” Mika scratched his head awkwardly but continued to talk. “Were you workin’ on s’mthin’ jus’ now? Hope I didn’ interrupt you or anythin’…”

 You swallowed nervously, “uhh, I was just sorting out my schedule of things to do before Valkyrie’s DreamFes performance,” you replied. “Wow, s’mtimes I think Oshi-san and I don’ deserve ya. Yer really hardworkin’ yanno?” You blushed slightly at his compliment and fiddled with the fabric hidden in your lap.

 “Ah! I should get goin’ now, I have practice with Oshi-san. Sorry if I disturbed ya before. See ya tomorrow, (Y/N)-chan!” Mika waved to you and you returned the gesture. Once he was out of the room, you sighed in relief, pushing your chair back out again. Thankfully, he hadn’t noticed the embroidery you were doing.

 A buzz sounded from your blazer pocket, and you pulled out your phone to see your mum calling you. “(Y/N), honey? Are you almost home?” Her voice chirped from the other end of the receiver. “I’m still at school, I was just talking with one of my friends.”

 “Do you think you could go to the shops and pick me up some eggs and milk? Your dad and little brother have raided the fridge again.”

 “Sure, how many of each?”

 “Two dozen eggs and 2 cartons of milk will be plenty. Thanks sweetie!”

 The call ended and you began to pack your things away before heading over to the shoe lockers. The shopping district was only a 10-minute walk away from the school, so you were able to make good time.

 It was late afternoon but the district still had students and locals bustling around the area, bringing a lively buzz to the atmosphere. You went and grabbed the things that your mum had requested you to buy and decided you’d browse the rest of the stores before heading back home.

 A small, quaint shop caught your eye and you walked over to the window to see a gorgeous array of embroidery designs, coloured threads, and fabrics displayed behind the glass. ‘I don’t recall this being here the last time I visited the shopping district…maybe it’s a new shop,” you pondered to yourself.

 “Eh? Is that (Y/N)-san over there by that shop?”

 “Mm…I’m tired…carry me Maa-kun~”

 As you were standing around, lost in your thoughts, Mao and Ritsu happened to spot you on your little window shopping spree, and the two of them walked, well more like the maroon haired boy half dragged his lethargic companion, over.

 At the sound of footsteps, you turned your head up out of your daze. “Oh, Mao-kun, Ritsu-kun, um, what brings you here?” You asked, instinctively moving away from the shop window, worried they might ask you what you were looking at. Mao gave you a tired grin, “I was taking Sleeping Beauty here back home but he kept pestering me that he wanted a soda, and the closest drinks vending machine was in the shopping district, so here we are.”

 You nodded as Mao heaved Ritsu’s arm around his shoulder, effectively trying to keep the ravenette standing up. “What about…you (Y/N)-chan? What were you…doing here…?” Ritsu slumped more of his body weight onto his poor childhood friend who really couldn’t do much except put up with it.  

 “I was just picking up some stuff for my mum. We ran out of eggs and milk and she probably wanted to make an omelette tonight,” you replied. “That’s nice of you to do that, I usually help my parents out as well when they need to.” Mao smiled as he held his friend up, the latter looking like he was on the verge of falling asleep whilst standing.

 Mao seemed to notice that Ritsu was practically asleep and straightened him again. “Well, I better get going now before Ritchan passes out, later (Y/N)-san!” The Trickstar member proceeded to somehow get the sleepy member of Knights flopped onto his back and carried him off.

 "Whew...dodged another bullet...” You were thankful that they didn’t ask you about what you were looking at, otherwise you’d probably freeze up and die on the spot.

 Ever since middle school, you had an interest in embroidery, but your classmates often picked on you and called you all sorts of mean nicknames like “granny” or “old lady”. It could have been worse, but you hated that embroidery was stereotyped as a hobby for the elderly.

 You sighed for the umpteenth time that day and began your trek back home.

 ~~~

 The next day you sat in the Handicrafts club room again during lunch time, desiring  some peace and quiet whilst you worked on your needlework in secret. You were almost done with the final touches, with only a couple of the petals on the last cherry blossom requiring stitching. You were so engrossed in finishing that you didn’t hear someone enter the room behind you since you had your back turned towards the door.

 Mika had been searching for you during lunchtime to ask you about his costume which had just been completed today, and you so happened to be sitting in the clubroom like yesterday after school. You hadn’t noticed his presence which gave him the opportunity to walk up behind you to see what you were doing. When he was close enough to peer over your shoulder, his eyes widened at the beautiful, delicately crafted handkerchief, decorated with cherry blossoms and pink petals.

 “Wow (Y/N)-chan~! I didn’ realise ya had that kinda talent for embroidery! Looks really nice!”

 You immediately flinched and screamed in shock due to being so absorbed in your little workspace. “Waaaaah!! Mika!? What are you doing here!?” You screeched making the black haired boy jump from your outburst. “E-eh!? Ah–‘m sorry! Didn’ think I’d scare ya like that…” He looked down guiltily and you felt bad for shouting at him.

 “Wait, no no I’m sorry I shouldn’t have raised my voice like that,” you mumbled, playing with the ends of your hair before realising that you still had your embroidery in your hands for all the world to see. You gasped and quickly tried to hide it but Mika caught your wrist.

 “Why’re ya tryin’ to hide yer work? ‘s really pretty to look at yanno?” He grinned at you but you averted your gaze away. “I…uhh…s-so you saw it d-didn’t you…” you stammered, still trying to get the hoop out of vision.

 “Was I not s’posed to?”

 “N-no…it’s just…”

 You took a deep breath in and exhaled it all out again. “Back when I was in middle school, people often teased me about being into embroidery. They would call me things like “granny” or “old lady” and make fun of me for my hobby…” you admitted. Mika listened intently but said nothing. “I guess from all those bad experiences, I’ve always kept this a secret because I was scared of being judged again…”

 You felt tears start to prickle in the corner of your eyes. No one in Yumenosaki knew about your passion and you intended to keep it that way.

 “(Y/N)-chan.”

 “…”

 “(Y/N)-chan, look at me would ya?”

 You felt Mika’s hands cup both your cheeks and tilt your face upwards to meet his heterochromatic gaze. He used his thumbs to gently brush away at the tears that were threatening to fall from your eyes.

 “I don’ think yer hobby’s bad at all. ‘n fact, I really respect ya after seein’ yer needlework. ‘m still practicin’ jus’ stitchin’ holes up in clothes but yer out ‘ere makin’ really pretty cloths ‘n stuff.” He gave you a heart-warming smile and let go of your cheeks to grab your hands.

 You were shocked to silence. You hadn’t expected anyone to be this understanding.

 “Mika…I… ”

 You felt an tug on the corner of your lips, only to realise you were smiling. You squeezed his hands in return, feeling a faint blush start to spread across your face.

 “Thanks Mika…really, that means a lot to me,” you giggled and the latter scratched his cheek bashfully.

 “Ehehe~ ‘s nothin’~”

 You smiled again and quickly leaned forward to place a peck on his cheek before standing up to leave. “We should head back soon, class is starting in about 3 minutes,” you grinned, escaping the room and leaving the poor boy in a stunned, flustered mess.

 Mika slowly brought it hand up to his cheek, feeling where your lips had been.

 “H-huh?! W-wait, (Y/N)-chan!!”

( Shu x Mika! )

The OTP!

where they first met and how: Depends who you ask. Mika says they met when he ran away from the orphanage and was digging through a dumpster, Shu doesn’t remember that. He thinks they first met when Mika came to see him and Nito perform and asked him to join Valkyrie when he saw Mika’s eyes. (I may have that wrong on Shu’s part, please correct me if it is!)

how long their ‘flirting’ phase was before feelings got involved: God, years. I bet they didn’t start dating until after Shu graduated. Or they’ve been dating this whole time and didn’t even realize it.

who fell for who first (if applicable): Definitely Mika. Shu may be smart but the guy is oblivious when it comes to feelings. I bet he didn’t even realize he was in love with Mika until Mika confessed. 

where their first date was and what it was like: It was probably just a small little date, like at a cafe or something. And even though they probably didn’t do much else different, Mika was still a blushy mess because ‘wow, it’s actually a date this time!” Shu looked composed but he was riddled with anxiety on the inside cause he knows this is Mika’s first ever date and he wants it to go perfectly and make sure Mika has a good time.

who asks who out and how (with a sign? spelled out on a cake? just a simple ‘will you go out with me’?): Mika, I bet he did it with a letter cause he didn’t want to get nervous and trip over his words. Like he confessed his feelings and then once Shu read it he’d ask him on a date.

who proposes first: I love the idea of double proposals so much so I want to say that’s what happened. Like Shu gets down on his knees and then Mika starts crying and pulls out the ring he got. 

if they keep / kept their relationship secret or let everyone know right away: Depends. From fans and general public, it has to be a secret cause idols aren’t allowed to date. But I imagine they tell their friends. Like Mika tells Arashi cause of course he’s gonna let his bestie in on what’s going on. And Shu probably tells his fellow Oddballs but like. Casually put it’s in a conversation and then tries to change the subject so they don’t tease him. Yet they still do.

where the proposal happens and how (kiss cam at a baseball game? on a hillside surrounded by ducks? at a disney park?): If Shu proposes first, it’s probably over a nice candlelit dinner. For Mika, he’d probably do it at a picnic

if they adopt any pets together: I could see them getting a cat or maybe something like a rabbit or a hamster

who’s more dominant: Probably Shu? Unless it’s with physical affection, Mika definitely has him beat on that front. I read in a fanfic that Mika was an aggressive cuddler and that stuck with me

where their first kiss was and what it was like: It probably was at Mika’s apartment and it just happened. Like they were cuddling and watching movies (horror because that’s like the majority of movies Mika has, let’s be real-) The movie ends, Mika looks up at Shu and then they just. kiss because it felt right in that moment.

if they have any matching couples stuff (mugs? sweaters? pillowcases?): Mika would love stuff like this so of course. Could be anything, they get matching keychains, sweaters, plushies. Shu acts grumpy about it but I like the think he likes it too lol

how into pda they are: Mika wouldn’t mind it but I imagine Shu doesn’t like it. Plus as idols, they can’t be too affectionate in public.

who holds the umbrella when it rains: They take turns but I bet Shu holds it more often than Mika

where their usual ‘date spot’ is (if applicable): Shu isn’t a fan of crowds so they probably spend most date nights at home rather than out. They are content as long as they get to be with each other anyway

who’s more protective: Shu but Mika definitely has his moments.

how long it is before they sleep together (can be as in ‘had sex’ or as in ‘shared a bed’): I like to hc that Mika would often crawl into Shu’s bed cause he has trouble sleeping alone, so that was a thing even before they were dating. Sex is another thing entirely and I’m pretty sure that took a lot of talking before they even tried it.

if they argue about anything: I’m sure they do, since it’s normal for couples to argue sometimes. But it’s probably mostly Shu just nagging and being fussy over Mika, especially once he’s living alone.

who leaves more marks (lipstick, hickeys, scratchmarks etc.): Mika, Shu probably hates it. Shu rarely, if ever, leaves any kind of mark and if he does, it wasn’t intentional by any means.

who steals whose clothes and how often: Mika definitely does, all the time.

how they cuddle (spooning? facing each other?): Probably depends on whatever Mika is in the mood for that night, since Shu doesn’t mind how they sleep. Mika probably prefers to be facing Shu though, with his face pressed against Shu’s chest or neck.

what their favourite nonsexual activity is: Cuddling while watching movies.

how long they stay mad at each other: Depends how stubborn Shu is but it’s probably only ever an hour at the most because who can resist Mika’s kicked puppy look?

what their usual coffee / tea orders are: idk enough about coffee or tea, so skip

if they ever have any children together: They definitely adopt at least one kid, because Mika loves kids and would want to give one a home like his parents did for him. Shu’s not the best with kids but he wants Mika to be happy. I could see them getting a little girl and Shu making the most pretty dresses for her.

if they have any special pet names for each other: Probably lots, like honey or baby, the normal ones. But I imagine they mostly call each other by first name because that’s really intimate in Japan. Especially for Shu and Mika, since they have called each other different things (like Kagehira and Oshi-san) before they started dating

if they ever split up and / or get back together: Definitely not, Mika stubbornly clings to the things (and people) he loves and Shu is not the forgive and forget type. If they ever got close to breaking up, they probably sat down and seriously talked about it to see what would be best for them but never actually broke up

what their shared living space is like (messy? clean? what kind of decor?): Probably very clean, or at least messily organized. As for decor... There’s probably dolls and stuffed animals displayed everywhere

what their first christmas / hanukkah / etc as a couple was like: Cliche af but they definitely made each other something. Like Shu noticed Mika’s gloves are getting worn out so he makes Mika a new pair. Mika knits him a scarf or maybe makes him a plushie! Then they would cuddle up under blankets with hot coco to watch cheesy Christmas movies while it snows outside.

what their names are in each other’s phones: Mika’s is definitely just ‘Shu’ with a cute little heart emoji beside it. Shu’s is just ‘Kagehira’ because it’s been in his phone like that forever and he doesn’t know how to change it. But maybe once they get married, he asks his friends to change it to ‘Mika Itsuki’ :3c

if they have any ‘couple traditions’ (buying a new mug for their collection every year? baking every friday evening?): My family has a tradition on Christmas where every year we buy each other fuzzy socks. I can see Mika and Shu definitely doing that. Or every year, they get a new doll and plush to add to their ever growing collection

who falls asleep first and who wakes up first: Mika is the first to fall asleep but the hardest to get up in the morning. Shu has times where he stays up late to finish a project but is always the first to wake up every morning.

who’s the big spoon/little spoon: Shu is the big spoon and Mika is the little spoon

who hogs the bathroom: Mika but not intentionally. He just gets lost in daydreams or shower thoughts while he bathes. Shu always makes sure to get in before Mika because of that lol

who kills the spiders/takes them outside: Mika is the poster child for catching and relocating spiders.

Hello! What about a scenario (I love your scenarios) for Nazuna and Mika trying to spend Christmas together but they're afraid fr telling Shu they're dating?

i love writing scenarios too they just take. a while hnff  _ (┐「ε:)_ but! i wrote this in mika’s third year bc christmas/starfes was still messy between valkyrie + nazu-nii, so have some nice nazumika closure

 He's running late, so he doesn't have much time to worry over the things he has spent nights worrying about: is his hair fine? Did he remember to bring his gift for the present exchange? Is he going to be late - well, yeah, he's definitely late.

  Mika pushes the door to the diner open, and scans the room for that familiar crop of yellow hair - ah! There he is! He slides into the opposite booth, already mumbling a string of apologies.

  "It's alright, Mika-chin," Nazuna tells him, and his smile is understanding. "I didn't wait too long - look, you're only fifteen minutes late."

  Mika shifts in his spot, uncomfortable by how he isn't being rebuked for making someone wait. "I-I guess that's true, yeah."

  "But it's been so long since I've seen you," breathes Nazuna, and he reaches out to touch Mika's hand. Physical contact... physical contact with his boyfriend; it's been something Mika's been longing for, what with Nazuna studying in a university out of town and Mika living in Shu's apartment to finish his third year of high school. It's almost too sinful, and he retracts his hand a little too fast. Nazuna notices. "So... why were you late?"

  "Uh..." He'd been drinking in the sight of Nazuna ever since he'd sat down, and now he finally finds it within himself to look away, abashed by his answer. "I had to explain to uh... Oshi-san that I was gonna meet some friends today for Christmas... instead of stayin’ at home. Took me a while."

  "I see."  Nazuna's smile dips into something disapproving, and Mika already knows what's coming: why haven't you told Itsuki about us? When are you going to? He wouldn't be mad - would he?

  Mika doesn't know, but it's been a sensitive subject between the two of them ever since he confessed to Nazuna over text a few months ago, and they started going out. He doesn't want this to ruin the limited time they have together, so he tries to change the subject. "H-how's school been goin’ for ya?"

  "Oh! School's been going quite well - except for this big project we have due in two weeks time. Did I tell you about it? No? So basically..."

  Almost immediately, Nazuna perks up again, chattering away about life in university, and how he'd made the most of the short break to meet up with his family and the boys from Ra*bits. Mika doesn't know if Nazuna is really that oblivious, or that he too doesn't want this dispute to ruin their day together.

  So they enjoy their lunch together, happy to be able to see and touch the other in real life rather than through the walls of their tiny phone screens. The present exchange goes smoothly too - Mika is delighted by the prime selection of candy Nazuna had assembled for him, and Nazuna is smitten by the handkerchief with a little embroidered bunny that Mika had sewn for him. The rest of the day is wonderful too, and Mika can't help but enjoy every moment of walking around town with his boyfriend hanging off his elbow, excitedly pointing out the shops he used to frequent when he still lived here, or the stages he had performed on with Ra*bits.

  That's why it almost physically hurts when the day ends, and Mika has to finally let go of Nazuna's hand.

  "S-so I'll see ya tomorrow, yeah?" Mika asks, hopeful. "Ya don't mind me sendin' ya off at the station, d'ya?"

  Nazuna laughs. "No, not at all," he says, but then he pauses, and his smile tightens. "But Mika-chin, I do mind that you're not going to tell Itsuki about our relationship."

  Almost immediately, he feels his body stiffen again. Mika doesn't want the day to end on a bad note and yet... and yet Nazuna is so serious, there's nothing he can do to run away from the issue at hand.

  "I... uh..."

  "I know that you're scared to tell him - I-I'm too, y'know?" goes Nazuna, face turning a little red. He takes a deep breath, exhales, and fumbles for something in his back. "H-here. I got this for him - a Christmas present."

  The parcel is pushed into his hands, and just by feeling the material within the thin packaging, Mika can tell Nazuna had purchased some sort of fabric, and that of a really good material. All of a sudden, he feels helpless.

  "Nazuna-nii... I..."

  "Thank you, Mika-chin." Nazuna smiles the sweetest smile he's smiled all day, and Mika's breathless all over again. Then he pulls Mika down, tippy-toeing to kiss his boyfriend on the lips. He's a little shyer when he moves back, and definitely redder in the face. "I-I'ww see you tomowwow, I guess."

  Nazuna slips off into the darkness, leaving Mika standing there, trying to relive the best Christmas present he'd ever received.

 It's past the Itsuki family curfew when Mika slinks back into the apartment, and he expects Shu to be so furious at him that he would've gone straight to bed; curiously enough, the light is still on in Shu's room.

  Mika stands before the door for a few seconds, unsure of whether to leave the gift before it with nothing else so Shu can put two and two together himself, or whether he should knock on it and give it to him directly. No... maybe he should just pass it to him tomorrow-

  "Kagehira?"  Mika jumps when the door opens, and Shu peers at him. "You just returned, did you not? Where were you this whole time?"

  "I... I was out w-with..." Under Shu's scrutiny, Mika almost bursts into flames, and is beyond relieved for Shu's attention to be drawn to the gift in his hands.  "What is that?"

  "This? It's a... Christmas gift for ya," Mika says, placing it in Shu's hands. "F-from... it's from..."

  "Nito?"

  The gift tag tied to the wrapping paper has Nazuna's name, and having it read out by Shu... the shame burns hot. Shu can probably feel it radiate off Mika from inches away, so he mutely unwraps the present.

  "Ribbons," Shu mutters as the slivers of fabric reveal themselves to him. "Oh, and what beautiful ones too... There's so many outfits I embellish with these."

  "O-Oshi-san!" Mika blurts out, pained by the awkwardness of the situation. He screws his eyes shut, and his hands grip helplessly at the hem of his shirt. "I-I'm so sorry for lying' to ya all this time b-but- I've actually been seein' Nazuna-nii for a few months already, behind yer back! I-I was scared of how yer'd react, but... but I..."

  He trails off when he realises that Shu's gaze is soft on the ribbons; soft on him. "I knew it all along, Kagehira," says Shu, his voice quiet and resigned. "I've known about your budding relationship with Nito all along - don't look at me like that now, your phone doesn't have a password feature, does it? - and I was just waiting... waiting for you to tell me. For you to trust me with this knowledge."

  "O-oh."

  Somehow, the fact that Shu knew he had been hiding it from him all along makes everything feel worse. Mika shifts a bit in his spot.

  "It is laughable, is it not?" goes Shu, and he smiles at the ribbons. "I should be upset with you, and yet... I find myself being rather happy, to be quite frank. That's why... thank you for letting me know, Kagehira. Thank you."
