[drawbauchery]

[killjoy-prince]

If i had a nickel every time i watched an anime where Shun'ichi Toki voiced a character and sung either the opening or ending song for it, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but interesting that it happened twice

💛💫Voca/Utauloid Headcanons of Mine💫💛

Not proofread, too lazy😍😍

💫 Hatsune Miku 💫

I think Miku is a bit of a spoiled diva, but only a bit!

She is pretty generous despite the whole "World is Mine" thing, I like to think she uses her brand to get charities off the ground🤔

Miku gives me Pansexual and proud vibes

Her hair is a chore to take care of and takes hours to prepare for a concert! Loads of teal hair in the trash and clogging the shower drain.

She has an arsenal of scrunchies at the ready for her pigtails>:)

Miku doesn't like the coral colour. Yknow that reddish orange colour? She doesn't like wearing it.

Miku doesn't actually know how to do make-up, Luka always does it for her!

💫 Kagamine Rin 💫

Rin has ADHD me thinks🤔

She has a load of fidget spinners cuz she thinks they are cool✊

She has roller skates and she rides around town in the 24/7!

Her bow collection rivals Jojo Siwa's and is definitely more fashionable😩

Her notebook is filled with all sorts of goofy song ideas written in bright orange highlighter.

She has to cut her hair or it starts to grow out- like almost as long as Miku's! It grows fast so regular hair trims><

She love love LOVES little charms and accessories! Sanrio and Animal Crossing are some of her favourite things to collection stuff from!

💫 Kagamine Len 💫

I have the most to say about him cuz he is my favourite so strap in>:)

Len has a skateboard that has all sorts of stickers on it ranging from MLP G2 stickers from his sister to spiderman and undertale references!

Len forgets stuff easily, he isn't stupid just stuff slips his mind easily. So he carries a small pocket book to write stuff in if it's important!

He plays piano and guitar obvi but I totally see I'm sitting down after football season on the field after school and playing some melodies on an acoustic guitar with his homies.

Also has to trim his hair regularly JSKSJSKSJSK (Rapunzel Len😳😳???)

He snatches scrunchies from Miku's collections sometimes to put in his hair sometimes cuz he likes them.

100% a brony I refuse to believe otherwise♡♡♡

Can be a gentleman when he wants SoE wasn't 100% a lie💫

Fingerless gloves, T-shirts over white hoodies, naturally torn jeans, and bright sneakers or combats slay💅

Raging bisexual king

Had a crush on Fukase once. Immediately didn't anymore.

Possibly trans masc? Idk I feel like he isn't but he has that t-boy swag👁👁

Fangirls lowkey scare him, like yes he knows he has them and yes he is terrified of them. (Mention that Tei girl and he is outta there.)

Probably has a crush on random Utauloid girls cuz they aren't popular and he has a higher chance of wooing them💀

Does his make-up himself cuz Luka never adds enough eyeliner for his highness.

💫 Megurine Luka 💫

Mom friend

A bit of an air head and she always spends hours picking out her outfits because they needs to be perfect('□`)

She Miku dated at one point🤔

Make-up wizard~!!!

She does everybody's make-up except for Len's.

Really soft hands, like ethereal. If you hold them you will instantly feel self-conscious about yours if you're like me.

She sheds. Everywhere. It's like pink little worms everywhere. She sheds more than Miku. If the drain isn't clogged by a teal monster it's a pink one.

Paints everyone nails, yes even his highness Len. Luka just has really light handy-work! Super delicate and great for little details><

Luka likes to draw and paint pretty scenery!

She has an affinity for sun hats💛💛

Cottage core lesbian vibes

💫 Shion Kaito 💫

Kaito has an ice cream truck. He drives it around town while it plays a heavy metal version of the ice cream truck theme. Scares all the kids.

He and Len play smash bros as Joker and Pit 24/7 and have the most intense screaming battles!

He has a pusheen plush collection><

He has his room at like, 10 degrees colder than the rest of the mansion cuz mf likes his blankets and he is a.... Snowman.

HHEHEHEHEHEHEHHE

Anyways he has a whole closet of just scarves and it's like walking through a car wash minus all the water and soap almost.

We all know he wears his scarves to the pool but did you know he also wears them in the shower?!?!?!😱😱😱😱

Kinda feels like an omni with a male lean.

💫 Sakine Meiko 💫

She has every single alcoholic drink at the local bar memorized....

She really likes heels! She has a whole bunch. Kinda like the Barbie of Vocaloid when it comes to them U_U💅

She and Luka are besties and they have that lesbian "besties" vibe going on JSKJSSKSJJSSJ

Mmmmm yiAS- And they were *best friends.*

Anyways Meiko is totally called Koko and Meimei around the house.

When she isn't chugging alcohol she is chugging some kind of apple cider.

I feel like if her mascot item wasn't sake it would be apples or lipstick🤔

She has a whole 3 drawers of just lipsticks btw

💫 Kasane Teto 💫

As we all know she is now a Synth. But in my heart I still call her an Utau even tho it's technically wrong- but it's also not harming anyone so who cares?

She and Miku went on a date once. Best day of her life😍/hj

She is a bread connoisseur and her current dream is to some day visit France😔✊

Her hair is such a pain to style in the morning- when she isn't going out she doesn't even bother and leaves it loose.

I headcanon she and Fukase are siblings and also Fukkatsu Kozuko's older siblings. They all have those red eyes... they must be related! (Kozuko just got the recessive hair genes obviously LSJSKJSAKJSKAS)

Totally has gamer rage and plays competitive games like League of Legends and the online Pokemon battles.

Totally a huge Pokemon nerd btw and her favourite game is Pokemon Y cuz it's based on France!

She beat Rin over the head with a baguette once....

Pansexual or Bisexual vibes... tbh whatever it is she isn't straight that's for sure I mean that girl definitely has a crush on Miku.

Speaking of which, she is a frequent donater to Miku's collection getting her more scrunchies every chance she gets 😔

💫 Oliver 💫

MY BOYYYYYY

Oliver is great💛💛💛

When asked if he is a dog person or a cat person he confidently replies with "I'm a bird person>:D!!"

Luka was screaming about a spider in the snack cabinet once and he just grabbed it and ate it. I mean, it *was* in the snack cabinet. I wouldn't be surprised if he put it there....

He is kinda prone to getting sick easy.

He has asthma:(((

Len got him shoes and he never wears them.

Brush his hair for him, he will like it Q-Q *Holds Oliver gently*

💫 Fukase 💫

I don't like Fukase. But I also like him. Like I like that I can dislike him yknow? He is a radical dude and I think he is great we would just totally argue all the time and call eachother rude names then bro hug and fist bump and if anyone asks no we aren't friends we are broskenimes.

House hold name? Fuck ass.

He takes pride in that name.

He, Len, and Piko play minecraft together and take turns blowing up each other's houses.

Totally takes his little sister to meet ups with Len just to piss him off/freak him out.

He eats his toe nails.

Raging gay ass mf here

💫 Utatane Piko 💫

This trans mf

T-Boy swag is strong with this one

Also probably a gay but I also see him being an omni with a male lean

Dating Fukase 100%

They blow each other's house up in minecraft as a display of affection♡♡♡

He and Len are broskis forever and have friendship bracelets that are MLP themed

His favourite pony is Rarity or DJ Pony and yes he is a brony.

He also really likes TBHK and Genshin Impact

Uses all his money to get his husbandos

Cat person tbh

💫 Kamui Gakupo 💫

EYYY MY OTHER FAVOURITE LOID!!!

Omni with that male lean I mean look at those gay samurai from Japanese history he is totally one of those.

"IT'S NOT GAY! IT'S TRADITION!!😤😤😤"

Totally in denial about his gayness.

Rhythm game king

He takes great pride in his hair and he doesn't actually shed that much like Miku and Luka!

Doesn't actually like eggplants he just got them stuck on him because of popipo and Dancing Samurai.

He prefers grapes😔

Wine enthusiast and actually more of an alcoholic than Meiko😳

Gave Len advice on how to get hot girls once and the advice wound up with the girl jumping into the pool fully dressed to avoid him.

100% not gay guys idk what you're talking about

💫 Megpoid Gumi 💫

I don't have many headcanons for her😭😭

She has a garden!

Did a Lumine from Genshin Impact cosplay once😳😳😳

Totally into Len at one point but Len was too dense to notice

Straight alliance(???)

Again not much here for her

Into Octonauts tho, Tweak is her favourite.

💫 VFlower 💫

FLOWERRRR!!!

She is totally Miku's crush 🥺🥺

Tbh, ace vibes

Another one of Len's broskis

She hates her new design

Slay queen tbh

I don't have much on her either but she is cool asf

I feel like she worked at a McDonald's once and idk why🤔

Currently works at a cafe

Huge P5 fan idk why

Also an artist! She is more into character design tho:)

Awesome fashion sense.

💫 Akita Neru 💫

Imma be honest with yall, I don't like her😰

I hate tsunderes so much they are so annoying and they make my skin boil.

Watching her be so mean to Len in the fics I read makes it really hard for me to like her cuz Len is my emotional support character so I don't have any headcanons for her.

But I don't wanna disappoint so I'll make a few on the spot!

She is a top streamer and has lots of male fans cuz she has that gremlin streamer that runs off of doritos and mountain dew vibes><

Has an Insta and uses Tumblr 24/7 in secret👀👀

She feels like a straight alliance to me

Anger issues

Maybe she is used to getting ignored and the only way she thinks she can get Len's attention is by bullying him?

Idk

💫 Fukkatsu Kozuko 💫

I made her so I obvi have a lot of headcanons but none of them are fact because I want her to be like all the other loids:)

One of them cursed Len simps

But she is tame about it and honestly a sweetheart soooo we gucci👌

She isn't stalking him like Tei and Mayu or beating him up like Neru. Just like, normal girl stuff.

Even then she doesn't get into cat fights over it cuz she doesn't have the confidence to.

Oh yeah! Low self-esteem cuz her VB is crappy and she has a lisp sometimes 😔😔

She feels like she might fall somewhere on the autism spectrum, but that might just be me self-protecting again🤔

Probably cries easily.

She really likes to decorate her room in cutesy pink stuff and she always wears these over the top soft girl outfits.

A huge fan of Miku! Really wants to be her friend but doesn't have the confidence to talk to her.

Rin, Len, Oliver, and Teto are her friends. (Teto doesn't have a choice cuz they are siblings/j)

Fukase insults her a lot but not in the mean way in the sibling way yknow yknow

Like "You're smelly"

Fukase let her play minecraft with him and his gang once and they all had cute cottages by the end of it. Fukase was >:[ing the whole time cuz he wanted her to be annoying to Len.

She is that friend who is too nervous to talk up so she just agrees and nods to everything and she is easily manipulated into things q-q

She is scared of Mayu, Tei, and Neru and they are mostly the reason she doesn't approach Len unless multiple people are around. She feels a lot safer when Fukase is there cuz Fukase is... Fukase is scary. No one wants to mess with Fukase. Mess with Fukase mess with some ancient eldritch horror or smth.

[justsomeoneintoomanyfandoms]

Hiii, I've been binge-reading your Tokyo Debunker fics and I think they're all so cute!! Mind if ya match me up with someoneif you're still doing it?

So, I'm Lilith and I go by she/they preferred but I honestly couldn't give a crap. I'm a Virgo and I'm INF P/J it honestly depends when I take the test so honestly I'd say I'm both judging and perceiving equally somewhat. I have mid-length dark brown fluffy and semi curly hair (think 3a and 2c) with dark blonde and red highlights (my dyed hair is fading. :( ) I'm Filipino and white mix and about 5'8-9 but I'm honestly doubting what my own height is at this point. I'd say I'm genuinely a chill and very understanding person finding sympathy with anyone but I find personalities such as Kaito or Luca grind my gears for some reason and then I feel bad about not liking the person... It's a cycle that's for sure haha, I can get really worked up though about rules and such and staying out of trouble but I'm also the type of person to be like "Have fun robbing the bank just don't drag me into it" and then somehow getting roped into it because I care about them too much just to let them do without being supervised. I really enjoy being around my friends and honestly sometimes question how people aren't annoyed by how much I talk to them. I'd say I'm really goofy and just say stuff that comes off the top of my head, even if what I say might not make sense or embarrass myself in front of my friends. I am very jumpy though so loud noises or out-of-pocket movements make me flinche. I like writing, crocheting or basically anything as long as I don't have to run a mile. I'm really fond of cozy videogames though and my Steam library has been stocked full of them. Ironically though I don't like to sit around for too long or it makes me really hyper. So I enjoy keeping myself busy that's for sure but not pushing myself to my limits. Thank you in advance!

Hi Lilith! Thank you for your request! Sorry it took so long. I hope you like your matchup!

In Tokyo Debunker, I match you with...

Haru’s a deeply sympathetic person himself so the fact that you’re the same is a big comfort to him. He loves seeing you interact with all the creatures he cares for around Jabberwock.

This also ties into your fondness for being around friends. Haru’s a very social person and loves meeting new people and making friends so he’d love to hang out with you and anyone else you’re friends with.

Haru’s not really geared to sit still too long either so he loves going on walks with you or just generally moving around. It sort of feels like you’re constantly dancing around each other, even if you’re just doing household chores.

Please crochet things for him! He loves wearing anything you make for him, whether it’s a scarf, a cardigan, or a little keychain version of Peekaboo.

I don’t see him as someone who has a lot of time for video games but when he gets  a bit of free time, he would love to watch you play your favourite cosy video games. He likes being able to relax while watching rather than playing himself.

Holiday Industry Party

This years party was at a glassed in roof top sky scrapper. The natural stars were blocked out by twinkling fairy lights across the ceiling. There were photo op places and a stage for musical performances. Haruto and his band, thankfully, they weren't dressed as elves but matching red, gold, and green plaid suits, with holly flower pins in their pocket. Haru stayed off to the side listening to the current set of musicians sipping from a glass of champagne. The guys were in awe of these kinds of things so they were floating about.

Kai was holding up a wall and sipping his champagne. He was being escorted around by his agency president, and of course people were simply adoring the wings. Few supernaturals were so exposed so they had their very own in a captive audience for a little. His manager making him promise to not dye anything for the party.

Haruto saw Manami by himself-ish. Haru put on his brightest smile and walked over intent on talking to the other guy. Instead of a duo like last year, he was apart of a set. But at least he wasn't an elf! Thinking about last year made him blush but he shook his messy styled hair. "Merry Christmas!" he said to Manami and anyone that was around him .

"Merry Christmas" Kaito nodded and sipped his drink. "Well…better than last year."

Haruto walked over beside him. "What is?" he whispered. "This is party better or whatever?" he looked around. "Are you okay.. with the wing stuff …" he knew how the other felt about it. "What are you dressed as this year?"

"A successful person." He wasn't in a costume, just a suit that cost more than one really should pay for a suit, the green and red highlight pieces made it lovely.

Haruto frowned. "I'm successful," he frowned and sipped his champagne. "We're playing tonight because our album is coming out or whatever….successful people are always working or whatever…." he nodded. he did think that Manami looked nice but he totally wouldn't admit it. "I"m not an elf!" he said.

"So you are….?

"A successful person," Haruto nodded, only looking like 3 other people flitting about the party. His band mates soon came over with a plate full of food. "Hi Kai!" Daiskuke said smiling looking up at the extra tall actor. "Merry Christmas. Are you going to watch us play?"

Kaito grinned and nodded. "Hell yeah, highlight of this party." His manager was signing a few things to him across the room, and he signed back. Her grinning and shaking her head.

Haruto looked at the waving fingers. When he saw Manami's manager he waved and smiled. "Merry Christmas!" he said even though he knew she couldn't hear even if they weren't across the room. She could read lips and signed it back to him. Kai just smirking as she added the "fighting" gesture. Haruto recognized fighting and did the motion back.

"Your manager is hella nice…" he said the looked at Manami with a flat look still trying to figure how so many nice people were around the mean siren. Much to the confusion of Haru's band mates.

"Who is that?" they whispered among themselves.

"She's my manager. " Manami's was cuter and nicer. He won.

Haruto sighed because it was true. "That's really cool Kai," said Mako-chan the bass guitarist. Ayame-kun soon came by the band not saying anything but that was the signal. They had to change before there performance. They were debuting another song. "See ya Manami." Haru said turning to go.

Daisuke was the last to go. "Can I talk to you later?" he asked watching the band head to the dressing room.

Manami looked surprised. "Sure."

Haruto turned to see the conversation but not what was heard as he waiting for Daiskuke to come with them to go change. There was a weird twinge in his stomach that he didn't like. When they went to the dressing room Haruto watched his band mate as they changed into yet another set of matching-ish outfits. Haru shook his head he had to get in the game. As the other band got off, the piano that was in the back of the stage was moved forward. Haru was still watching Daisuke until they were announced and walked onto the stage

Manami stayed quietly to listen , not planning to get in the way or take attention off.

Haruto went to the piano and sat down while guys went to their microphones. Haruto went away from looking at the crowds. It made him feel better that way. Especially since this was still a networking event and he knew Ueno was floating about somewhere. He took a breath and started playing

Manami would sip the wine that he had been given and nodded at Ueno and then look back to the stage.

Haruto finished the song, his hands didn't shake as much as they used to. They bowed a few times at the applause. Haruto smiled and turned to go as the emcee spoke about the band's tour dates and their recent CD. Ueno acknowledged the actor with a smile then went to make his way to Manami's manager.

trick or treat!!!

Happy Halloween, Anon!!!

The closest I have to a Halloween special is a series of snippets I kind of wandered into writing, but they seem pretty fitting! These are from World Walker: Aftershocks, which is really a bunch of scenes made to figure out where the characters are going to end up.

This involves no World Walker or canon bnha spoilers, and is very sparsely edited. DimensionTravel!Izuku hunts ghosts with this background character below the cut, inspired by Buzzfeed Unsolved, YUTS, and Game Changer. Interviewer OCs are named Ran, Myuki, Kaito, and Tatsuya. Cryptid's PR guy is named Dai.

Tw: ghosts and related topics.

Cryptid ducks under the doorway.

Ran visibly falters.

Cryptid's agency did all of the communication with them, supposedly because Cryptid himself is a workaholic who handles emergencies not just here, but also wherever else he disappears to. He also has a tendency to choose interviews near emergencies that unfold in a predictable future for him and a horrible surprise for everyone else, so apparently it's safer for everyone involved if he makes his own patrol schedule for the agency to work around. Dai from PR was lovely to talk to. They have no complaints.

But Dai from PR neglected to mention exactly what Cryptid is like in person. Cameras glitch out occasionally and secondhand accounts grow either poetic or lack detail, so they had no real warning about this. Tatsuya is abruptly aware that the fanart is perhaps more accurate than photos of this hero, which would be funny if he were able to breathe right now.

Cryptid looks horrifying. 

Unseen wind stirs green hair. His dark costume highlights the fact that his shadow pulls an echo of stars up from the floorboards, and the sharp teeth of his smile that forces his mouth open slightly. When he looks at them, a galaxy rests in his eyes.

He steps forward. There is something distinctly unnatural in the way those joints move. 

Ran audibly inhales through her teeth.

The next step is better, then the next. Cryptid's back straightens and his mouth closes into something more human. The stars and eerie presence are packaged away, folded up and tucked into the hero like a coat left at the door. It makes being affected by an unfelt wind and possessing odd-bright eyes feel like any other quirk.

"Hello," Cryptid says kindly, stopping a fair distance away, which is greatly appreciated. He tucks his hands behind his back, posture unthreatening. "Are you Ran?"

"Yeah," she gulps. "Um. Your agency said we should do an interactive interview with you?"

"Dai has been very accommodating," Cryptid agrees serenely. "And the void stops screaming at me when it thinks I'm busy."

"Oh?" Ran asks, voice pitched just a touch higher than normal, but she's too good an interviewer to let that leading statement go. "What do you mean?"

"There's a version of me trying to swallow the sky in another universe, and the void wants me to watch." Cryptid gestures, shoulders now hunched to communicate lack of threat. "But moving around will help convince it that I'm busy, so I really do appreciate you all changing so much of your schedule to make this work."

"It's no problem," Ran says. Ironclad control returns, one of the reasons she was chosen for this activity. "I have a list of pre-interview topics here. Anything else you want to talk about or avoid can be added to the paperwork, and we will be including your agency in the editing process whenever your quirk is discussed."

Tatsuya continues unpacking equipment as Cryptid irons out their details.

They have two guests on the game show today. Both heroes were on their list of candidates, but after hearing Cryptid's situation, an idea was pitched. Adding in Exorcism: the Ghost Hero to this was a stroke of genius. It'll make an amazing special.

Onemu Shinya waits by the car, discussing things with her own interview team of Miyuki and Kaito.

Six people, two of which are heroes. Three, gods help them, are thrill-seekers. Tatsuya was the only person in the office who saw bargaining power for what it was when the crew was short one member. They are paying him a lot to film and make snarky commentary behind the camera. Life is good.

Neither of the heroes know what the schedule holds.

Then again, they probably know it'll be odd. Burnt Honest Tea sits halfway between a game show and news organization due to hiring more actors and comedians than journalists. Everyone here has some kind of past in the entertainment district. The employee-owned business model is a wreck. They do comedy. Humor. A little gossip, when it's lighthearted and everyone involved is fine with it getting aired, but that’s a rare one. Celebrity guests are more likely to get dumped in a room full of puppies than interviewed from an armchair.

They figured out a while ago that since heroes have licenses for public quirk use, they could hire a bunch of weirdos to conduct interviews in the most extreme places possible. This is legally and logistically a nightmare. Crucially, it also sells really well because nobody else is willing to make a whole business around that model.

It takes a while for set-up to finish, and the heroes are brought to the front of the eerie brick building. It likely has been abandoned for longer than anyone here has been alive.

Probably.

Their two guests are odd enough that Tatsuya cant help but suspect otherwise. He suggested the question during one of the meetings and got shot down, though.

The two heroes wait patiently by the door as set up finishes.

Cameras and mics checked, lights on, introductions finished, and ground rules reiterated.

Filming starts.

“So what are we doing?” Exorcist asks, and Tatsuya winces preemptively. She has to suspect they’re going-

"Ghost hunting," Ran says.

Exorcism closes her eyes, and Cryptid nods thoughtfully before sticking his entire arm into a circle of blazing starlight. He pulls out a pair of gloves, and tugs off his own, revealing what looks like tattoos underneath.

Exorcism sighs, eyes still closed. "You can punch ghosts now, can't you?"

"I can punch ghosts," Cryptid agrees sagely as he puts on the new gloves, then holds up a cautious hand. "...Will it launch your soul out of your body if you touch these?"

Exorcism high-fives him.

"Guess not."

Tatsuya just knows today is going to be great.

-

"Hello," Cryptid says to the hallway, exactly as he greeted Ran earlier. It makes the underlying message clearer - don't be scared, I will not harm you, I know I am frightening and promise not to move too fast or speak too loudly. "I don't have any dominion over life and death, but we can speak if you'd like."

"You're very kind," Exorcism tells him with a pat to the back, then stomps past him into the hallway with Kaito and Miyuki on her heels. "Hey, ghosts! If you got a problem, now's the time to speak up!"

Unearthly screeching fills the building.

"Get their ass," Cryptid says, completely straight-faced. A door slams down the hall, and Kaito screams. Cryptid looks more alarmed at the scream than the haunted door.

"Hey, friend!" Exorcism yells in the same instant. "Ooh, you've got vibes. Where's that shirt from? It's cute."

"So," Cryptid says as he turns to Ran and Tatsuya, "shall we?"

"This was such a mistake," Tatsuya says. Ran shoots him a look that disagrees, and he zooms in on it just to be petty.

-

Exorcism considers the door, then turns to the empty space to her left with a raised eyebrow. She's gone a little translucent.

"Sure," she tells the patch of air. Then, "this is your local service announcement; big noise incoming."

"Go for it," Cryptid says distractedly as he pokes at a ratty, bug-infested curtain. It blocks off a corner of secrets Tatsuya has zero interest in. He is, unfortunately, the only person to feel this way. Ran gestures at him. It's a loving one. The kind that implies she will kill him in his sleep if he misses whatever bullshit their local Wikipedia-classified cryptid is about to pull.

It's fine. He's not in charge of filming Exorcism.

That hero is busy counting down her big noise out loud. It's very appreciated. Tatsuya has plenty of time to brace, so the abrupt crash of wooden planks is almost comfortable. He gives it a three-count before glancing back.

Exorcism tosses aside a piece of the door she just kicked in. She turns around to scan them all for injuries, with only a glance into the whole new room of horrors she just uncorked for their miserable little field trip. Then again, she's a hero known to get information from ghosts. This is her home turf.

Tatsuya flinches when Kaito lurches back from the broken doorway, face ashen.

Exorcism pauses.

She leans back, peering inside for a second assessment of whatever she unleashed.

"Hm," she says, fully awake for the very first time. Tatsuya's stomach flips upside-down.

"What's up?" Cryptid asks over from where he's placing a line of ginger candies under the most cursed piece of furniture to ever exist. Tatsuya isn't the faintest bit religious, superstitious, or even faintly curious about these kinds of things, but even he knows that broken chair has some seriously bad vibes. If they set an apple on it, that fruit would definitely rot in seconds. It is extremely unnerving. Ran hovers over Cryptid's shoulder as the hero happily arranges some kind of offering, torn between her own curiosity and nausea.

"This isn't mine to deal with," Exorcism says, brushing a hand over the wall. The shadows under her hand glitch out in real-time and is honestly the weirdest thing Tatsuya has seen in his life.

He holds his camera steady and exchanges a look with Kaito. Miyuki wanders over to serenely hold up what looks to be a Geiger counter. The little box ticks in a slow but uneven little pattern until she presses it to the wall.

The ticking turns slightly chime-like, then stops.

Tatsuya is fairly sure this isn't supposed to happen, but his science knowledge levels out at baking soda and vinegar. Miyuki, who has the kind of brain that saw her through engineering at Waseda until she decided it didn't spark joy, looks personally affronted.

"Ah," Cryptid says, hesitantly approaching. "Yeah, that'd be me. Thanks for catching it."

Tatsuya is very nervous about how Cryptid seems to be using Exorcism as a meat shield against the wall, until he notices that Cryptid isn't actually avoiding the wall at all.

Miyuki, with her massive brainpower, picks up on the source of his nerves as well. It's probably easier for her, since she seems to be the epicenter.

She looks at the dead silent box she is currently pressing into the wall.

The wall shivers hypnotically. 

"Don't," Cryptid murmurs. It's unclear who he's talking to. "I did not make a deal with you to punch ghosts so you could-"

Exorcist swipes the box from Miyuki and tosses it to Cryptid, who yelps, fumbles, and catches it. The freshly returned ticking halts the second he has both hands on it. Instead, there's just one, constant, note.

Like a dial tone.

Cryptid stares at it in betrayal.

"Uh, so-" Ran clears her throat. "Are you doin' alright, buddy?"

"I am feeling very grateful for those NDAs," is all Cryptid says. "Um. Anyway. This is normal?"

He doesn't sound very sure.

"Kid," Exorcism sighs.

"It's completely expected," Cryptid hisses at her desperately.

"I'm drinking buddies with Eraser," Exorcism says, and Cryptid seems to deflate.

"Okay, so it might be normal but I honestly stopped trying to track what my quirk changes about me when I was so much shorter than this." Cryptid sighs, dial-tone box now clutched to his chest. It seems to be making the screaming note almost musical in an unearthly way. The realization of how that noise is shaping into an echo of a heartbeat raises hair on the back of Tatsuya's neck.

"That's messed up," Kaito tells him gently. "Aren't heroes supposed to be really good at using their quirks?"

Cryptid snorts. "That is a very long discussion nobody here except maybe Exorcism would enjoy having. Let's just say my quirk is the ability to skydive through an Old God, but testing limits weakens the barrier between my existence and its control?"

Exorcism pats him on the shoulder, and something like understanding seems to pass between them.

Something breaks in the room behind Tatsuya.

Every single member of their unfortunate little filming party is in this room, along with both their heroes.

"Let's go meet the neighbors," Exorcism decides, and leader her two adrenaline junkies away. It leaves Tatsuya in this room with his local cryptid and bad influence. Ran, despite getting them all into this mess of an interview, jumps slightly when Exorcism yells, "hey, friend!" loud enough to be heard through the wall.

Cryptid seems more interested in the fact that his cursed little offering has disappeared from the chair. Ran huddles after him.

"You are so weird," Tatsuya tells the hero gently.

"Yeah, well." Cryptid shrugs and pats Ran's white knuckles, which are currently clenched in his costume jacket. "Unknowable things aren't bad. Humans fear them, because a problem without definition is a problem that can't be controlled."

The way he says it separates them into two groups - humans, and whatever he is - which inspires the same curiosity Tatsuya feels when looking down from a cliff or skyscraper window. He can appreciate the danger mere inches away. He also wants to toss a paper plane at it.

"That's not how any of this works," Exorcism says through a yawn as she steps back through the broken-down door. The onmyouji pauses, noticing Ran breathing through her adrenaline. "Sorry, are you okay? Yes? Okay, just let us know."

"Maybe this was a bad idea," Cryptid murmurs as he pats the interviewer's shoulder. "We can go-"

"No," Ran interrupts in a wheeze. "I am having the time of my life. Let's keep rolling."

"Adrenaline junkie," Kaito says from the doorway, despite being sheet-white and grinning like a lunatic.

Cryptid and Exorcism exchange a look.

"You'll tell us the moment any of you want out," Cryptid says to the four of them. It's not a request so much as an order. "We're not going any further until I know everyone is completely fine with this."

A chorus or agreement rises, and Exorcism yawns.

"You were saying something," Ran says, once again showing that she's the only one here actually trained to host anything. "About how Cryptid is wrong about the nature of unknown things?"

Exorcism pauses, visibly trying to recall. "I was. Yeah. Basically, we fear what we don't understand for a very good reason."

"Doesn't mean you can't make a home out of it," Cryptid says.

"Are you not human?" Tatsuya asks, because it feels like they skipped over that little comment implying he isn't.

"In the way you're asking? Yeah. I was born human, I register to call-response quirk users, and I am capable of passing DNA tests in the right circumstances. In the way that matters-" Cryptid shrugs. "No. I'm a loophole."

Delightful.

That explains nothing.

"Could you explain what a loophole means in this context?" Ran asks. Miyuki smiles at her in a way that says, I could kiss you for keeping us on topic right now.

-

Blood runs down the wall.

"Huh," Cryptid says, completely unbothered by the many people now clinging to him. "That is one way to decorate. A bit too much red for me, personally, but it would look great in a children's hospital."

"Oh my God," Kaito garbles.

Exorcism muffles a yawn and pats him on the shoulder. "You okay?"

"Yeah," Kaito creaks. Cryptid takes their elbows and leads them to a very dusty chair, where he starts talking them through a breathing exercise. It works, and Tatsuya keeps his camera on the very haunted painting everyone seems to be ignoring. 

"It's good that we brought heroes," Miyuki says serenely.

Cryptid pauses as he tries to figure out what to say to that, which gives Exorcism time to be distracted by the blood dripping down a wall from inside the picture frame. Tatsuya turns his camera just in time to catch her place both hands on the wet red wood, lean in, and lick that nasty, dust-clumped, haunted blood. She makes a face at what he guesses is the flavor, then walks right out the door.

Her team follows, hopefully to ask her what in the world she was just thinking. Ran watches them leave from the door. This is great until it leaves him with Cryptid and a bleeding painting.

"Oh, that's funny," Cryptid says under his breath. He claws open a section of thin air through the painting. Tatsuya's camera glitches at the bright-dark void, but Cryptid casually leans out to inspect something on the other side. Plastic crinkles. He tugs something out, stuffs it in his pocket, and pats something that sounds like fabric.

The air to his left starts bleeding.

Just.

The air.

Dripping red.

It falls to the ground since there's nothing for the liquid to cling to, leaving Tatsuya very freaked out by the spontaneous puddle of red on the floor.

"UH," Tatsuya says, then has to shove at Ran before she can poke it.

Cryptid laughs a little, in a quiet way that's oddly reassuring. Nobody laughs like that when they're panicked. "We're very safe. That one wasn't a ghost."

This is not helpful news. Well, it is helpful in that it's good content, but Tatsuya is beginning to wonder if he's really being paid enough to witness this.

"So, what are you doing?" Ran asks. Cryptid clicks his tongue at whatever he's seeing, then moves a bit to the side so Ran can sidle up next to him and also lean out. She turns a little green but bravely stays put.

"Spring cleaning," Cryptid says. "It's really rude to litter in the void, but sometimes this happens anyway. So I'll just-"

He moves as if wiping something outside the portal, and the patch of spontaneous blood dumps a full bucket onto this already haunted floor.

Ran reaches back blindly, and Tatsuya reluctantly takes her place. Cryptid, blessedly, does not notice Ran trying to get Tatsuya and his camera to the portal. He shuts it the second she's out. Tatsuya can't help but feel a little relieved at being spared the burden of witnessing whatever Ran saw.

He likes not knowing, sometimes.

Ran fixes this by turning to him with very wide eyes and saying, "there was, I Kid you not, a wall of fabric, and so many stars. He found blood on the fabric and shoved it in, and it was like it wanted? To go?"

"Do you need to sit down?" Cryptid asks her gently.

"I saw the void, and it had so much shit in it," Ran tells Tatsuya and his camera. Cryptid very gently takes one of the hands she's gesturing with and pats it to catch her attention.

"It is very big," Cryptid agrees serenely. Ran frantically points at the painting, which has stopped dripping.

"Big," she repeats. "Big is small compared to whatever that was."

Tatsuya nervously shifts.

"It is also an ecosystem," Cryptid continues, slow and calm. "What you saw is no different than a forest, or the ocean. It is a perfectly natural part of the way things work, just a part you weren't aware of."

"There was nothing natural about that," Ran hisses.

"Pigeons make milk," Cryptid says, which- what? The unexpected announcement has Ran startling right out of her existential crisis. "There are species of jellyfish so rare they've only been caught on camera once. There's a river in England that looks like a brook from the top, but is so narrow and deep that putting a foot in would suck you right down. Many strange things exist in the world that you have not discovered yet. This does not make them wrong, or bad. It does also not invalidate your experience with them if anyone chooses to believe what you have experienced does not exist. Okay?"

Ran stares at him.

Cryptid meets her eyes steadily. "You are right about what you saw, no matter what people may try to tell you. And you are not alone in your knowledge of it. Everything is working as it should."

Ran keeps staring at him, until Cryptid slowly opens one arm in an offer. He lets the interviewer choose how close she gets, then stands there with an arm draped over Ran's shoulders like it's the most natural thing in the world.

A spider skitters across the ceiling.

"We are going to stand here and breathe for a little bit," Cryptid says easily. He glances at Tatsuya. "How are you holding up?"

"You've seen someone go mad from this," Tatsuya realizes. His mouth puts it into words before he can stop the conclusion from lying dead as a ghost in the stifling air between them.

"Not yet," Cryptid says. He glances at Ran, then up at the dust and cobwebs.

Not yet.

There is subtext in those two words.

Tatsuya finds his heart speeding up.

The reason these interviews are safe and worth doing is that they are conducted with trained rescue specialists. The danger is chosen specifically to be something these heroes can handle in their sleep.

The danger is not supposed to come from the hero-

"Can you smell that?" Cryptid asks, cutting through Tatsuya's gasping panic.

What-

He inhales, finds he's breathing too quickly, and forces his lungs to cooperate. Two deep breaths later, he glares at Cryptid.

"Any iron?" The hero asks. "Deep breaths, long and slow. There you go, just like that. Can you smell iron?"

"You bastard," Tatsuya wheezes.

"I'm very manipulative, yes," Cryptid says serenely.

"No iron," Ran creaks.

"Fake blood," Cryptid says. He shrugs the shoulder Ran hasn't claimed at Tatsuya's disbelief and adds, "someone pranked your show. Not with whatever Onemu is doing - the void loves her too much to interfere in that. But it did allow someone to set up that painting specifically to fuck with me."

What.

"Why did I agree to this?" Tatsuya asks under his breath.

"Because you had a formative experience at thirteen where you realized surrounding yourself with extroverts and people who thrive in odd situations brings you more happiness than any desk job," Cryptid explains. Tatsuya fumbles with his very expensive equipment. "Also, I suspect you're being paid a fair amount, but really it's the same as Kaito. Y'all really should compare wages."

"We're keeping you," Ran decides from where she's pressing her hands into her face.

Cryptid grins at the ceiling, which Ran misses entirely. His smile is too wide, too sharp, and stars bleed from his shadow. "Good luck. I am not made to be contained."

Mundane cheer takes its place by the time Ran shakes her head and steps away.

Tatsuya was holding the camera, though.

-

Izuku waits on the building roof.

"When did you figure out it was me?"

Not needing to turn around to identify the speaker, Izuku just heaves a sigh. The empty bag of fake blood crinkles from his belt pouch. "Nobody else would."

Cloud makes a disgruntled noise.

"And that last thud upstairs was very good, but when you swear into the Null about hitting your elbow on a brick wall, I can hear it."

Cloud frowns.

"I thought you hated ghosts?" Izuku asks, and gets a strange look for the question. As if Cloud hasn't put string ghost traps on top of several versions of the cafe.

"There was nothing supernatural about that place. Guess they were ghosting you."

"Then who was Exorcism talking with?"

"She wasn't talking to-" Cloud loses about two shades of color and backs up a bit. "Right. Cool. I'm gonna- uh. Go cleanse myself in a temple or something-"

"Did you not know?!"

"No," Cloud hisses back, hair bristling slightly like a cat. "I don't mess with ghosts. They get hungry and-" he breaks off, gesturing. "I don't know shit about exorcism, but that is very much not something I want to mess with!"

"I've seen you pickpocket an HPSC president," Izuku says, mildly offended and not sure why.

v3′s art is comically terrible for a professionally distributed game in a series: a compilation

in this not-essay I will list all of the mistakes and problems I have spotted in v3′s art. don’t worry, it’s entirely for fun and I’m doing this on a whim, so please feel free to not take this seriously but also it’s hilarious and embarrassing how ridiculous this is like what happened did they speedrun the whole production or what

see, there are some things you can take as meta like “they made it bad on purpose to allude to the downfall of tv shows that have been on air for much too long” but I have a very strong feeling this is not the case due to the nature of some of these errors

disclaimer, the more I study this art, the more I fear that the artists were underpaid and underslept, so if this is in fact the case, I am so sorry to all of them but also I’m going to make fun of the art anyway

anyway let’s get started!

if you study this image for longer than 5 seconds, you will see that kaede is the only one fully shaded and keebo is literally just his normal sprite pasted into the image. every other character is just an ordinary ref, hence most of them facing the exact same direction with neutral expressions on their faces. it looks like a bad edit, and is probably one of the worst pieces of art in the game. it kind of gets better from here on, but my roasting will not.

with that out of the way, here’s the problem that officially bothers me the most and clarifies my viewpoint of “this is not meta and an actual lack of company communication”

this freaking cg, which seems normal at a glance, but some wiseass was like “oh, kaede is a girl, so obviously she’s going to be shorter than the Male Protagonist™” ah, that’s funny. because if you look at the character bios, kaede is, in fact, one inch taller than shuichi and not like 6 inches shorter as she is shown here.

also shuichi’s shoulder is disproportionate and horrendous and he looks vaguely like a jojo character, but I wasn’t even thinking about that until right now.

thanks guys, 50% of the fandom who has never bothered to check these bios thinks that kaede is like 5′3 (did the developers really put so little thought into her to the point where drawing her correctly in the game didn’t even matter??)

also I would like to point out that, even though this isn’t related to the art itself, yes, a character kaede’s size being only 117 lbs is unfeasible, but this applies to literally every character in danganronpa ever and it’s not new news that it’s unrealistic

update: someone in the tags informed me that in versions of the game that use centimeters, like the japanese version, kaede is actually shorter than shuichi, which just adds another thing to the list of weird decisions the localization team made for no reason. that said, after confirming this, kaede is 167 cm in the original, while shuichi is 171 cm, which are approximately 5′6 and 5′7 respectively, but one inch is still nowhere near as drastic as it is depicted above. (in spite of this, I would rather depict kaede as slightly taller, so I’m probably going to keep doing that.)

the journey continues!

bro if you want kaede to have shoulder length hair then stick to it to begin with

you can pretend this is at an angle all you want but they definitely committed the shorter kaede sin a second time

wait a goddamn second.

DO YOU SEE THIS

no………… it wasn’t kaede who shrank. it was shuichi who got taller

speaking of which, can we talk about how shady the perspective is in this elevator pic? look at shuichi and kokichi in comparison to kaede. kokichi, who is canonically 7 inches (edit: or 5, if you’re loyal to the original) shorter than kaede, looks taller than kaede. he’s growing too. what steroids are these gays taking

running into the room, electric boogaloo: I don’t think tsumugi is supposed to be the same height as kokichi

gonta… gonta you’re lookin a bit like a jojo character there

I love how kaito’s head looks kind of like it was pasted onto his body. why is he the same size as shuichi? shouldn’t he be high school bully size or something? his torso is teensy

ah yes, white angie.

I love this cg but why is shuichi’s right hand so much bigger than his left hand

I also love how this cg looks like they literally took pictures of trees and pasted them into the background, especially on the left. the shadows are so weird, especially closer to the ceiling, it’s difficult for me to believe they didn’t do exactly that.

return of Enlarged shuichi

puberty update: kokichi is now taller than shuichi in spite of shuichi never missing leg day. what crimes will he commit

I have to mention it, guys. this has to be one of the worst danganronpa cgs. kokichi’s facial proportions look atrocious. look at the way his face sticks out like his jaw is in the wrong place. his scarf is a pasted texture. that’s it. this moment was so iconic but the cg just looks so… so… off. like something is terribly wrong, but you can’t put your finger on it.

you know what? let’s get into that ‘pasted texture’ thing.

let’s imagine you’re an artist working on a professional game. you’re assigned to draw cgs of kokichi ouma, who has a checkered scarf from hell. sure, it will be terrible to draw, but you only have to draw it once at a time! plus, perspective is pretty important, right? can you be bothered? nah, actually. let’s just copy paste a checkered pattern into the cg, because I’m sure nobody will notice. it’ll blend right in with the other cgs that someone actually put effort into drawing his scarf in, right?

no. the answer is no and I very much noticed. this genuinely looks terrible and I would understand taking a shortcut like that in fanart or even an indie game but this is a full price pc and console distributed game

(an addition: look at kokichi’s TINY HANDS in that last one)

meanwhile, they straight up forgot to color in kokichi’s scarf in this cg.

dude. I forgot about whatever the hell this cg was. anyway look at keebo please just look at him

lovin kaito’s baby arms

real talk, maybe you could argue that he’s missing muscle because he’s deathly sick, but most of his cgs don’t line up with this, and his arms just look disproportionate to his torso size (granted this is a consistent problem across all danganronpa games and a lot of characters have this weird problem, like hajime, but also kaito is bigger than hajime so I kind of have higher expectations of him) maybe it’s his stupid goatee and the way he reminds me of yasuhiro?? it creates this illusion that he’s older than he is and so I keep expecting him to look more like an adult

oh, also rantaro is missing some of his accessories in that video he made–you know the one–but I don’t wanna go back and screenshot it

also you may have noticed that I’m skipping all of the monokub cgs because I literally do not care about them and I’m not even bothering to check and see if they have artistic mistakes in them

JIMMY NEUTRON???

hey um uh kaito you seem to be missing your neck

hey guys do you like my pregame fanart

so, that done, the sprites are also pretty terrible at times. they’re not as interesting to go through, however, and downloading the full sprite sets for every character and studying every single one of them will drive me insane, so I’ll just sum some of the ones I noticed up. I made things for kaede and shuichi before deciding I wasn’t going to get into it, so here are these.

that said, other mistakes include kokichi missing his purple highlights in all of the sprites encompassing a specific pose, stray pixels all over the place on everyone, and everyone also has heavily inconsistent shading, but literally all I think about is how pregame shuichi is unshaded and two of kaede’s pregame sprites have glaring outfit change mistakes in them

anyway, thank you for taking the time to read my ridiculous ramble. in all seriousness, there’s this looming presence of some lack of communication in the development team, like with all the art and design inconsistencies, pieces and sprites that look rushed, stray pixels, and missing basic proportional stuff. these are the kinds of things that you supposedly have to pretty much have in the bag in order to get jobs in professional businesses, so it’s really weird to me that this game suffers from so many of these problems. it’s like they tried to make the art so much more crisp than the other games, but it fell on its face as they realized it was going to take longer to draw everything and they started to rush. it’s weird, because the coloring itself looks normal–it’s just sloppily drawn, and the proportions are a mess once put into the context of perspective. many of the cgs look like they were drawn by different people, and I’m still not over the fact that half of kokichi’s cgs have his scarf pasted in as a texture.

the moral of the story is that if you’re selling a game at full price that also happens to be in a series that has had 3 very good games in it already the stakes should probably be higher than this. v3 has been out for more than 3 years and it’s still $40 (did it cost more than that before? I sure hope not), and the overarching quality of the game is just not as high as the other games. I’m not saying that the other games don’t have any problems with their art at all, they’re just not as glaringly obvious and every artistic choice in those games feels intentional.

regardless, I had a blast roasting the art at 2am, so maybe you got a kick out of all this chaos.

[shsl-concept-writer]

If the V3 Cast had to dye their hair, what color(s) would they choose?

Requested by: No One

Kaede Akamatsu; Kaede would want a rainbow ombre but would be scared it wouldn't work. Everyone would reassure her that it will be fine and she loved the results

Shuichi Saihara; He would just bleach the tips to dye it electric blue at the ends

Kaito Momota; Kaito wouldn't be sure what to even dye. He probably would get yellow/white specs to make it look like stars

Maki Harukawa; She dosen't like to really stand out so at most she would dye her hair a darker color, like a very dark black.

Kokichi Ouma; He would want to dye everyone else's hair which got a quick "no" of varying pitches. He would to blonde because he feels it is "cursed"

Gonta Gokuhara; Gonta is convinced that the bleach will make his hair fall out after Kokichi said it would. But he would really like a green ombre from his natural brown hair

Himiko Yumeno; She would bleach a streak of her hair and dye it a pastel purple

Tenko Chabashira; She would bleach all of her hair and dye it a cotton candy pink

Angie Yonaga; She would dye the tips of her hair black

Kirumi Tojo; She wouldn't dye her hair due to her position as a maid, but when she was younger she would dye it with purple kool aid

Ryoma Hoshi; Like Kirumi, he used to use kool aid, but hasnt ever dyed his hair nor have an interest. (He used blue Kool aid)

Miu Iruma; She would dye her hair a mess of blue and pink, embarrassed as to how it turned out she would wear a beanie until it is fixed

Kiibo; he would dye his hair brown and keep the tips his natural color

Korekiyo Shinguji; He would do a pastel green streak to match his sister's when she dyed it once

Tsumugi Shirogane; She already dyes her hair blue to stand out and not be so plain, she naturally has brown hair

Rantaro Amami; He would get blonde highlights in his hair, a platinum blonde

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

I want to dye my hair again sometime, I think I'd go with a deep green 💚

@galagcica @squeaky-ducky @kozushiki @haikyuu-but-low-iq @lunebabie @derpeedoo @kayisweird @zopzoop

“We do now!!!!” You told him, rubbing your stomach

“Swee..sweetie are you serious?” He climbed over the desk grabbing you and pulling you between his legs.

“Yep!!! Surprise Kyo!!!”

He was a little shocked for a few minutes, you were telling him how excited you were but he could not register it. A kid, not one but three. Will they be like him? Scary? Will they think hes scary?!?

“Kyo?” You lightly tugged his shirt so he would look at you. “Kyo whats wrong?”

He squeezed you sighing deep. “Im nervous sweetie thats all.”

You laid your head on his chest. “Well.. i am too . But! I have you to help and you have me. Not to mention all your friends. “ you took his ring hand to hold it and nuzzled his sleeve. “I love you, we will be fine Kyo.”

Kyo took in a deep breath and kissed your head. “Yeah, we will. I love you so much sweetie.”

It was an interesting nine months for everyone. Kyo had gotten his friends together for beach volleyball one night , you were there too but you were sitting with a sundress on looking excited.

“Soo...” Iwaizumi said, rubbing his head. “Whats this about?”

Oikawa and Mattsun were stumped too, so was Yahaba. Bokuto was trying to piece it together as well.

You got up and turned to the side and Kyo put his hand on your stomach. “Well... lets just hope you can deal with more of me”

Safe to say Kyo got tackled into the sand by everyone.

The end 💕

Little bonus mini drabbles!!

“raaaa!!!!!” Yelled Kaito

“Aaaarrgg!!!!” Yelled Souta.

Kana had her ears covered and had Chicken Legs laying down next to her with his paw over his eyes. She was sitting on the floor coloring in her book when her siblings rushed down the stairs with toilet paper and heavy eye makeup on their face and body. King, Rex and Mango were close behind with equal amounts of toilet paper on them too. This was a regular saturday...

Iwaizumi was on the couch watching these terrors run around the house . He pat Kana on the head counting quietly. “And 5...4...3...2...1...” The garage door could be heard and the twins and dogs stopped. Heavy steps and giggling were getting closer.

“Kaito.”

“Yes Souta?”

“It appears we are going to die today”

“Yes i believe so.”

Kana peaked at Iwaizumi and he just gave her that smile that made her get red in the face. The door opened and you and Kyo saw your kids covered in toilet paper and makeup. The dogs too. Kyo rubbed between his eyes and you giggled going over to Kana who was holding her arms up to you.

“Souta?”

“Yes Kaito?”

“It was nice knowing you.”

“Likewise”

(Whenever Kyo asks Iwai why he allows this he just shrugs and says “hey they aint my kids 😋”)

*💕

Kyo had picked the kids up from school and went straight into work. No one minded that the kids were there, they behaved. Mostly.

“Welcome to The Dog House!!!” Yelled the twins“The finest dogs and the biggest house!!! At your service!!!!”

Youd never seen so many metal heads giggle and chuckle like little kids before. Kana though, was under the register coloring and leaning on her fathers leg. Kyo leaned on the register looking down at his daughter.

“Kana pup”

“Papa..?” She asked, looking up, brushing her hair from her face.

“Do you wanna greet customers with your brothers?

She shrugged pulling the book closer. “N-no..”

He rolled his shoulders looking back up to see his friends frowning at him.

“Maybe a club will help”

“Or volleyball!!!”

*💕

The twins were running around the beach with Mattsun chasing them , Kyo, Iwa, and Kawa were tossing the ball to each other. And you were sitting on a towel under an umbrella with Kana clinging to your arm. You had noticed she was fixed on what her father was doing and you signaled to get his attention and pointed at yoir daughter.

“Kana pup.” He said, catching the ball. “Cmere for a second.”

She shook her head and you rubbed her side.”just for a second baby.”

Kana gets up joining her father and he crouches down behind her. “Put your fists together , be still okay?”

“ dont.. wanna get hit..”

“You wont i promise.” He nodded to Iwaizumi and he lightly tossed the ball to Kana . “Now just move your wrist down. Then connect with the ball semding it up”

As soon as the ball hit her wrists she whined turning around to hug her father. “Kana, look.” He turned her head . The ball was in the air . “You did it.”

“I.. i hit it.”

“Maybe Oikawa can explain better.” He said, getting up and Oikawa crouched down next to her. Kana whined giving him a scared look and he just held his hands out to recieve the ball.

“Its easy, promise!” The ball bounced off his wrists.

After a few tries Kana got the positioning right and even asked Oikawa to help and show her more.

*💕

One night Mattsun is at his shop filling in his laptop with appointments, transactions, bills. Its late, maybe almost 10. He liked to stay open when he had late nights like this. No one ever came by but.. it made him hope someone would. Mattsun was covered head to toe in tattoos. The bell dinged and he looked up from his desk and fell forward.

It was a girl; pink shoes, dyed highlighted pink hair, a white belly top and shorts. “Hey Mr!!!! Can i get a tattoo please?! A fluffy kitty or kitten? Do you do those? “

Mattsun smiled up at his ceiling . “Whoevers watching , thank you.”

He looked back over at the huffy girl. “Yeah i can do that Kitty, let me get a sketch going and you can tell me what you think.” He said with a very big smile. “Whats your name?” He asked , going around his desk to his wheely chair .

“Y/n!! “ the girl skipped over sitting in the chair criss cross. “Can you do it here?” She pointed to her inner thigh .

Mattsun thanked whoever was watching over him again but in his head. “I sure can y/n. I sure can.”

“No no!! Kitty!! I like it.”

Mattsun had a silly grin on his face now. “Okay kitty”

*💕

Its late at night and the only one up is Kyo. He was leaning on the wall watching his kids, ‘how did i get here?’ He asked himself while eyeing his bruised knuckles. Slowly he looked up. “I love you guys so much...”

“And i love you.” He heard behind him. A giggle too.

OH MAN THIS IS HARD.  decided to just go thru as much of my ao3 as possible. thank u cherry for tagging me i love u. tagging @maddstermind!!

1. Golden Years Not every child that lands on Naegi Makoto’s doorstep is there to stay.

2. little high, little low The angel lands on the wall of Eden gracefully, bare feet hardly making a sound against the stone.

3. oh it’s you (that i lie with) Kokichi lazily spins a french fry through his ketchup as Momota takes a seat across from him.

4. Baby Shoes He’s never been down this hall before, not in 20 years of working at Black Mesa or the 30 years living here before that.

5. Tangled Up This is not the first time Kane’s come to tied up. 

6. Hands of Time The hall is silent as Tommy lets his hands drop, bullets falling to the floor.

7. Something out of Nothing Gordon wakes up on his couch, face pressed against the cushions.

8. i’ll be yours (if you’ll be mine) Kokichi’s laying on the couch, half-watching cartoons when Kaito steps through the door, a massive bouquet of purple, black, and white flowers held triumphantly in his hands. 

9. Highlight (Of My Lowlife)  “I love you from the bottom of my heart, but I don’t trust your baking. Stay out of my kitchen.”

10. No One to Nothing Ouma’s sitting on the edge of the roof, shoes off and legs dangling.

11. After the Storm Tom Wachowski’s search history looks like this:

12. Haunt Me In My Sleep Aziraphale does not do anything as impolite as waking up screaming.

13. from the perfect start (to the finish line) The day after Aubrey officially moves in to Amnesty Lodge, Ned shows up.

14. No Honest Way Out Feeling returns to him slowly, accompanied by pain. 

15. crown hangs heavy The hangar would be silent if not for the sound of a pen frantically scratching against paper and the coughing of two dying boys.

16. Cover Me Like Dust  Backstage before a show, Sazed and Taako are kissing. 

17. You’re Around (Till You’re Not Around)  He can't feel the fire. 

18. Great White Gravity Two nights after Taako’s disastrous Glamour Springs show, Sazed cooks dinner.

19. Petrified Past Life Baggage The kid’s sitting on the kitchen floor with a knife the size of their forearm, looking it over like the meaning of life is hidden on it somewhere.

20. Domino Motion It starts with ripped up trash bags.

Honestly idk if I have a favourite?? i’m very fond of crown hangs heavy tho. observations: i like to start by making it clear who’s the pov character and giving some concept of what’s going on, setting up the scene. i don’t like starting with dialogue but if I do I try to have a speech tag attached.

BONUS: Some unfinished/unpublished stuff!!

1. Untitled DR bigbang fic “Like this,” Kaito says, swinging his sword in a slow, clean arc.

2. Untitled TTS h/c fic The first thing Eugene registers as he wakes up is Rapunzel’s hand in his.

3. Sadie’s Epic Adventures Picture a horror movie.

4. dr tma au: The first thing Kaito sees when he stumbles out the door is a shock of white hair.

5. mike my detested “What the hell happened?” Michelle called down the hall, audible before she was visible.

[catgrump]

"Do I look Okay?" Do you write friendship prompts as well? I'd love to see a piece of Kaede helping Maki get dressed/buy an outfit for a first date! It's been so nice to read through your work, I love it!

Yeah! Friendship!!! This is such a cute idea; tysm for asking for it.

We’re back in College AU for this one! Kaede & Maki are roommates ☺️

🌻🌻🌻

“Hey Kaede?”

She heard her roommate call for her from across their apartment. “Yeah?”

“Can you come here for a second?”

“Yeah, hold on!”

Kaede paused the video on her tablet and got up from the dining room table, shifting her slippers onto her feet as she moved across the carpet to Maki’s room.

When Kaede opened the door, she gasped with a bright smile. “Do I look okay?” Maki asked

Okay?! OKAY?! She looks stunning! Kaede had no idea Maki had this outfit in her wardrobe. A plaid mini skirt with a matching crop cami, sheer black tights, black high heels, and a leather jacket. “Maki, you look hot as hell. Like literally on fire.”

Maki barely smiled in response. “Can I... can I get your help with makeup? I don’t know what would look good—“

“Well you don’t NEED makeup but yeah, if you want,” Kaede made her way toward Maki’s small makeup collection on top of her dresser, “What’s the occasion?”

“I’ve uh, got a... date.. tonight—“

“A DATE!!!!???” Kaede clapped her hands together in excitement, “Maki!!!! You didn’t tell me you had a date!!”

“Because I knew you’d freak out—“

“I’m sorry!” Kaede knew Maki was right. She does get excited easily, but she can’t help it, “I’m just so happy for you!”

Kaede started searching through the makeup as she continued to talk, “Where are you going? Do I know them? You gotta show me a pic—“

“He’ll be here in like half an hour; can you just help me, please?” Maki didn’t want to sound rude or demanding, but she knew if she didn’t get Kaede back in focus, nothing would get done, “If it goes well I’ll tell you about it, okay?”

Maki was always good at compromising when Kaede got a little too antsy. “Okay, deal.”

Kaede pulled out an eyeshadow palette with warm pinks, bold reds, and subtle neutrals. “Okay, I do wanna know where you’re going, though. I need to know what lipstick to choose,” Kaede said

“He’s taking me to dinner,” Maki sat down in her desk chair and folded her arms, pouting to avoid wistfully sighing

“Liquid lipstick it is,” Kaede declared, and picked out a dark terracotta color from a brand she knew was long-lasting.

Kaede turned on her favorite playlist on her phone to jam out while she worked on Maki’s makeup.

Maki was tense the entire time. It’s not like Maki doesn’t like putting makeup on— Kaede just does it more often. “You must really like this guy,” Kaede said as she dusted highlighter on Maki’s cheekbones

“I mean... I dunno,” Maki tried avoiding the subject, “He’s fine, I guess.”

“He’s at least cute, right?”

“... yeah, unfortunately.”

Kaede couldn’t help but laugh, “Unfortunately?” She repeated Maki’s statement as a question, somewhat in disbelief

“I didn’t want to fall for him, but here we are,” Maki averted her eyes, “He asked me out so...”

“Well, I’m still happy for you,” Kaede replied, adding the highlight on Maki’s brow bone now, “I know you don’t go out with people very often, so it’s so sweet that you wanna look good. You’re already gorgeous, but this is cute.”

Ding!

Maki’s phone wasn’t on silent, so they both heard a notification appear. Maki snatched the phone from her desk before Kaede could snoop. “He’s on his way,” Maki said with sudden anxiety

“I’m almost done; don’t worry!” Kaede reassured her

Kaede finished applying the highlight and topped the look off with the lipstick. She grabbed the setting spray from Maki’s makeup stash and went NUTS spritzing. She waved her hands over Maki’s face rapidly to dry it.

“Thanks, Kaede,” Maki said during Kaede’s fanning, “I’m gonna fix my hair in the bathroom and brush my teeth real quick.”

As Maki stood up, Kaede wrapped her in a tight hug. “It’s going to be great! I can FEEL it.”

Maki chuckled. “I’ll text you if anything goes wrong. I don’t think it will, but our location sharing is still on, so you’ll know where to find me.”

Then, they left Maki’s room. Maki went into the bathroom, and Kaede went back to the dining room to resume her dinner and her video.

After a few minutes, there was a knock at the door. Since Kaede was right by the door, she decided to check the peephole to see who’s got Maki so worked up.

When Kaede peered into the peephole, she was flabbergasted. Kaito?? No way.

She opened the door for him and there he stood. The guy Maki constantly complained about and made fun of was standing in their doorway with one hand in his pocket and one hand holding a rose.

“Oh, uh, Kaede; hey, what’s up?” Kaito looked... nervous.

“Maki’s just finishing up getting ready,” Kaede replied with a mischievous smile

“Oh, haha, cool; thanks,” Kaito swallowed, and Kaede was delighted

“Kaede!” Maki called out from behind her, aggressively approaching, clutching a small black purse in her hands

All Maki could do was glare. But Kaede wasn’t phased. “Have fun, you two!” She sang as Maki pushed her aside to exit the apartment

“Shut up,” Maki scowled at Kaede’s cheesy grin as she shut the door.

[exclamaquest]

Do you have any real happy moments from any of your main AUs?

Mahiru sends the first photo albums out after the first year and there are scenes of everyone flipping through them and… it's happiness. It's Sakura and Hina's wedding. It’s Gundham and Ibuki being Gundham and Ibuki. It’s a picture of Nekomaru and Akane messing with Miu’s hair. (Miu is in her undercut phase. It's not working out too well but that's okay.). It’s Kokichi sprawled out on the couch in a Fortnite shirt and gym shorts, laying on as many people as possible. 

It’s Taka and Mondo dancing in their kitchen. It’s Junko making Mukuro give her a piggyback ride. It’s Hiroko’s girls in the kitchen together. It’s Himiko and Tenko and Toko laughing together in Toko’s living room, and Himiko’s giggling with Tenko next to her, Toko’s snort-laughing but she doesn’t care. It’s Ryoma crying over a kitten. It’s Nagito, Chiaki and Hajime with their arms around each other, just beaming. There's a whole page of Mikan and Kazuya in their house, and then there's one slightly blurry one of Mahiru in a garden that's a distinctly different style than the others. Mikan took that one. 

There’s a picture of Leon and Gonta in school, and Leon has his feet up on the desk and he’s shooting spitballs at Gonta. Gonta’s just sitting politely with his books stacked neatly. There's like seven of them stuck to his wing housing and he's just neatly highlighting things. There’s a picture of Hiyoko and Yuta on a “date” that’s just a date. There are pictures of Hiyoko and her dad. 

There's a picture of Teruteru fishing for some reason. Through the lens, he looks like himself. Why is he fishing though. 

There’s a picture of Tsumugi sewing stuff for her Etsy shop. A picture of Mukuro and Kyoko on a date at a fancy restaurant, and Mukuro’s outfit is godawful. A picture of Kyoko, Makoto and Byakuya leaning on each other. 

A picture of Kaito falling off a roof and into a pool (he was going to do a cool trick, but he slipped. He’s okay, Maki healed him. "Stop MOVING you broke your foot." "I’m FIIINE!"). There’s a picture of Hifumi and Kirumi sitting at the table and Celestia doing the dishes, and they’re all smiling. There’s a picture of Tenko tackling Kaito for saying something rude. 

A picture of Kiibo and Miu being adorable (Kiibo is wearing Miu’s sweatshirt that says “Hot Stuff” on it.).

After the first year of photo albums, they all start sending their own pictures in too, so it’s not just Mahiru’s. There’s Ibuki’s blurry phone selfies, a picture she and Peko took when they were waking up, Gundham doing a silly pose, Kazuichi falling over or something. You’ve got Himiko’s pictures that she takes when she’s lying on the couch so they’re from a lower angle. Hiyoko just sends in a bunch of selfies. Yuta is in some of them they're on a "date". They're at the top of the ferris wheel and he's kissing her cheek and she’s rolling her eyes and it's like. A "date". Makoto sends in a funny one of Byakuya where he's in the middle of talking. He’s saying "Tell them Naegi" about like not wanting pickles. There’s a picture of Mondo and Kirumi, and they look so happy and relaxed.

Hiyoko and Yuta get married at like 22 for the gift registry. Everyone's like not sure whether to attend or not, except, like, Chihiro. Chihiro is HYPED. Also Hiroyuki and Taichi are definitely going to be there. And Hina and Sakura. And Gundham and Ibuki. And Komaru. Actually, there are quite a few people who are excited (or mostly excited) to be there. Hiroyuki is like “So maybe it's just for the gifts but she's happy.”. Ibuki thinks it’s hilarious. “PEKO BABE WHY DIDN'T WE THINK ABOUT DOING THIS BEFORE”. Hiroko’s girls all go and sit together. There's an actual semi emotional speech from Hiyoko and they Actually Kiss and then everyone's like. Wow huh they were dating. And then Yuta yells sike and everyone's like you're literally married now you can stop. "SIKE" "..You're holding your wife's hand.". Ibuki starts laughing so hard she loves her little sister so much. Ibuki, Gundham, Chihiro and Hiroyuki help Hiyoko get ready beforehand. Sakura, Hina and Komaru help Yuta get ready. They’re both legitimately nervous about it. It's about the hiyoko commitment issues partially. If she's not actually involved with Yuta, he can't get hurt.

At the end of the reception, Ibuki says something to Hiyoko along the lines of "Yuta really cares about you, you know. He wouldn't have done this for so long if he didn't.". "What do you mean, it's a joke! It's so funny!" "People don't offer to marry you as a joke, Hiyoko." and they both look over at Yuta who's talking with Komaru and laughing and he sees them looking and looks over and just beams. He loves his wife! He has the whole time! And if Hiyoko wanted it to be a joke, Yuta was fine with that, because he could still be with her in some way. And Hiyoko doesn't WANT to feel love but her heart swells when Yuta smiles at her just. So full of joy.

At night, when they're alone, Hiyoko just says something like "If I wanted to do this for real, what would you say?". She's not even looking at him. "I would say that if that's what you wanted to do, I would be down.". And then he pulls her into the biggest hug. Sometimes you realize you love your husband after you marry him and that's okay. The next day Hiyoko's frantically texting her groupchat with Gundham and Ibuki like "OH MY GOD I LIKED HIM FOR REAL IT WASN'T A PRANK". Gundham is like yes I'm aware. Gundham Knew. He’s got the brother senses.

Nekomaru would be so affectionate with Angie to make up for the fact that she didn’t feel like she was able to touch people for so long. He and Tenko both go out of their way to do stuff like that. Tenko's always holding her hand. Nekomaru's messing with her hair, patting her on the back (and of course he gives the best hugs). Angie was so scared to touch Nekomaru the first time, what if it was a fluke what if this time she DOES turn him gold but just. He doesn't and she's so happy she could cry.

Sns OC Intro

A very short intro to my Food Wars Next-Gen OTPs OCs. They are not fully developed, but I wanted to put names to them instead of referencing to them as ‘their son’ or ‘their daughter’ and so on. I’ll use their names from now on when I do things on Tumblr.

IsaMegu

Name: Hikari Aldini (Eldest twin and daughter)

Appearance: Has Isami’s brown hair, but it’s a shade or two lighter than his. Usually keeps her hair long and has the curse of having it forever messy like her dad. Heterochromatic; left eye yellow and right eye blue.

Specialty: Plants

Name: Kaito Aldini (Younger twin and only male)

Appearance: Dark blue/ black hair, depending on how the light hits it. He usually tries to keep it his hair shortish. Also heterochromatic; same color placement of his twin.

Specialty: Birds  

Name: Rosa Aldini (Youngest daughter and child; around 4 years younger than the twins)

Appearance: Got Megumi’s blue hair. Usually kept no longer than her shoulders. Has the Aldini blue eyes as well.

Specialty: Piano at the moment. (She chose not to go into the cooking field and wants to be a musician instead.)

Special Fact: I feel like Isami loves music and successfully gets all three of them obsessed with it. (Hikari dances, Kaito sings, Rosa trying to be a musician)

 SouTaku

Name: Ciro Aldini-Yukihira (He requested name change at time of adoption. Also, a year younger than the twins but ends up skipping a grade to be in the same class as them.)

Nationality: Japanese-American

Appearance: Red hair with blond highlights. Looks like his hair is literally on fire. Usually kept short except for the bangs, which he tries to grow out enough to cover his eyes. (Takumi makes him cut them frequently to not let that happen.) Sapphire-blue eyes, which are darker than the light blues of the Aldini family. Also has a massive amount of freckles on the top half of his face.

People think/ joke that Ciro is the biological child of either Soma or Takumi due to how similar he looks to them.

Specialty: Liquids/ Gastroenterology.

Special Fact: He was literally rescued from an abusive home at four years old and had an emergency adoption. (Long backstory that I will not get into right now.)

I might have more OCs for other couples, but these are the main ones. I do have more facts about them, but maybe I’ll do something more in-depth later/ upon request.

A/N: Because @sup-poki is an enabler and I love hands. Technically it’s part of the unposted Underwear Model!Kaito au, technically it’s for Emogust2020, and it is definitely self-indulgent

“This has nothing to do with the product, though,” Kaito says, gesturing to his clothes and his hand automatically catches the edge of the cape as if on instinct. “If anything, it’s covering it.” 

“Don’t look at me, I’m just the photographer.” Hiding behind a tripod might not be a dignified look, but Shinichi does it anyway because if he had to look at Kaito full-on again he might break and that won’t be conducive to either of them getting their day’s work done. He’d thought the last shoot had been pushing it, but this will easily take the cake immediately. To think that people had voted for this, he doesn’t understand the allure. 

A model dressed up as a thief? Who thought that having an underwear line inspired by a criminal was a good idea? Now that he considered it for a second or two, it was probably Sonoko. Shinichi drags a hand down his face at the realization that that was precisely what had happened, Ran was always a little too willing to listen to her partner’s suggestions and now Shinichi is stuck with the consequences. 

“Are you ready?” Kaito asks, settling the top-hat on his head. The artfully tousled mess that the hairstylists had worked on is likely ruined in just that gesture, but the way his hair curls around his ears and along the brim of the hat is a side effect Shinichi hasn’t considered. He needs to get the camera between them fast, or he won’t make it. 

“Yes, of course, go ahead,” he rattles off, checking the exposure one more time and limiting his own exposure to the sight by looking through the viewfinder. 

Kaito starts off simple, but Shinichi can already tell it’s going to be excruciating at the pace he’s going. Every move is amplified, languorous and slow like the trickle of honey from a spoon. The gloves come first, silk ensconced fingers gradually drawn from their sheaves, the shape of his knuckles through the fabric taut as he pulls off the left one, holding it loosely in his grip like he still has plans for it. 

Shinichi had thought the other glove would be a repeat, a merciful break where he could have a chance to gather his thoughts. But Kaito doesn’t give him that reprieve. Forgoing the careful, he catches the seam at the tip of his middle finger between his teeth and pulls instead, the grin that forms around the movement drawing the attention away from his already captivating hands and over to his mouth. 

The cape comes next, bare hand smoothly undoing the clasps at his shoulders before he twists his fingers into the flowing white and swings one arm in a quick arc before him. It billows as it strives to follow his movement, the edges fluttering even in the still air of the studio and Shinichi is sure he’s managed to capture a moment where the cape had flared behind Kaito like one half of an outstretched wing. Normally he’d ask for a pause to check the quality, but he knows that if he spoke now then his voice would betray him entirely. 

Kaito drops the cape in a swirl around his feet and straightens his sleeves as if there could be anything imperfect about them. Shinici had expected Kaito to divest himself of the hat next, but his fingers wander to the cufflinks instead, glimmering like twin stars matching the crescent of light reflected in the monocle beneath the shadow curtaining his eyes. One opens quietly, a meteor falling to the ground before he’s rolling up his sleeves with careful consideration. Shinichi doesn’t know how he can have forearms that look strong enough to do handstands on, when Kaito’s schedule is booked to the minute usually, but his mouth is too dry to question it. 

Shinichi’s glad that he has enough professional experience to not be completely distracted, the shutter is clicking at the right moments, capturing the moments like bugs caught in amber, carapace iridescent for the end of time. It surprises him, how caught up he is in the performance, coaxed through the lens as if he’s being drawn in by a line hooked into his gaze, but it works. Damn Sonoko to pieces, it works. 

Finished with his sleeves, Kaito untenses. It’s a subtle shifting of his shoulders, the line of his back becoming more fluid and Shinichi hadn’t even considered how much all of that must weigh and the composure that comes with it, but Kaito had taken to it to like he’d been wearing it for years. Now, stripped of a few of his layers, he unwinds and pulls at the tie that still has him captive. There’s resistance, the knot is unyielding unless he goes at it slowly and it gives Shinichi several shots that he has a feeling might become a full-page spread. 

Glancing at the clock, he shocked to find that time had slipped away from them so fast. The studio manager will be by soon, ushering them out of the space for the next shoot’s preparations to start and Shinichi finds himself wishing Kaito could hold time in as much suspense as he’d held him. 

When he looks back, Kaito has his head tipped down, further than before and the first button, hidden behind the tie until then, slips free. The camera clicks, the last shot of the morning but Shinichi wants to argue perhaps the best. A stolen moment, reclaimed from a thief who refused to be caught, undoing his mask even as the mystery must stay preserved. 

“Shinichi,” Kaito says after a moment, frozen in that position. “I think the monocle got caught on my pocket.” 

“What?” He blinks, absorbed in finally scrolling through the pictures and checking off which ones he’ll highlight when he sends them to Ran. 

“I’m stuck.” 

“Didn’t even need the handcuffs,” mutters Shinichi, stepping over the cape carefully and into the circle, the space small but the distance between them even less. “Hold on.”

“Did you just say ‘handcuffs’?” Kaito asks, his head bowed but apparently his ears are still sharp. 

“No,” Shinichi hates the heat rising in his face and is glad the hat keeps them both from seeing the other, “Just that KID deserves to be in them.”

“Oh really? Is that your opinion?” Their hands are tangled where the chain has snagged on a stray thread. “And what would you do with him once you had them on him?

“Ask me that once it happens,” Shinichi says, letting out a breath as the link comes free and he takes a hasty step backwards. 

“Alright, that’s a challenge.” With the monocle and hat still in place, Kaito’s smirk feels more charged than ever and Shinichi is simply thankful this was a one time theme because his heart could certainly not survive a repeat.

[snikkerrs]

kokichi ouma, the so-called ultimate 'supreme leader,' was quite a strange boy. mischief would glitter in his eyes less than subtly. he constantly came up with not so friendly ideas, such as letting loose the bugs in gakuhara's room, causing his poor roommate to freak out more than they already did.

sometimes, these ideas were dangerous. like taking a trip to abandoned buildings at three in the morning, or using that expert level lying skill to get himself into places he shouldn't.

even so if they don't show it much, he knew his friends cared about him. the way gakuhara brought him food when he 'felt sick,' or how him and iruma would come up with world ending machinery.

they were in their first year of college, just having graduated high school, actually. a few of them went on to different colleges, some not at all. not that he cared much.

he still had a lot of his friends, even if some of them wouldn't call it 'friendship.' they dealt with him either way.

"shuuumaaii..!~" the violet haired boy called in a sing-song tone, earning a groan from the other side of the room.

"what is it, ouma?" the detective asked quietly. he was probably working on that same case he'd been on for a few days now.

"you've been on that for houurrss! take a break, mister detective!" he giggled, kicking his feet in the air from where he lay on his dorm room bed, "when was the last time you ate?"

sure, he seemed like a pretty carefree guy, but he knew saihara would go days without eating or resting now that he's gotten bigger cases.

"uhm.. i had a sandwich yesterday..?" he heard the uncertainty in his voice, as if he couldn't remember.

"shuichi saihara! you need to eat!" he jumped from his bed, rushing into the room where the blue-haired boy was. saihara appeared to be hunched over his computer, frantically typing away at the keys. in this light, shuichi looked ghostly. his skin was pale, only dotted by the occasional freckle or two. heavy eyebags pulled at his bottom lids, which twitched every now and then. his cheekbones were even more highlighted by the glow from the laptop, and if ouma was completely honest, it scared him.

"i'll.. get something later." he muttered, but was cut off as ouma grabbed his wrist and dragged him out of his chair.

"nope! you're coming with me to the cafeteria. wouldn't want my beloved shumai going hungry, now do we?"

as soon as ouma said the words 'my beloved,' saihara could feel his face light up with a blush that he tried- and failed- to hide behind his hat.

"aww!~ is shuichi's cute face getting all red when i call you that?" he asked innocently, but soon something sparked in his eyes that was quite the opposite, "what if i call you something.. different?" he asked, his voice dropping an octave.

a shiver ran down shuichi's spine, and he was sure his face went redder, "o-ouma! that's not-" he was cut off by a fit of giggles.

"wow, shumai! i didn't think *you* would think such dirty things! of course i meant calling you mine, silly!" he grinned, and the flustered detective could only let out a less than dignified whimper. thankfully, it was drowned out by the sound of the cafeteria as ouma pushed the doors open.

"now, let's get some food in you!" the purplette lightly jabbed at shuichi's arm and pulled him towards the line for all sorts of food. saihara simply sighed and followed him over, knowing there was no point trying to stop him.

"oh! it's saihara and ouma!" the two heard an upbeat voice from behind them. the blue haired boy looked over to see kaede sitting at a table with kaito, maki, and rantaro. he figured korekiyo and miu would be there soon.

"h-hi.." shuichi muttered, and ouma snickered. "don't distract him! he needs food." causing the detective to once again have a face full of red. but since ouma hat taken his hat, he just hid behind the plate he held. good thing they hadn't gotten food quite yet.

"oh! sorry!" she giggled and returned to the other students, "well, you two can join us here when you're done."

there was an obvious complaint from maki, and a laugh from kaito. knowing him, it probably wasn't even funny. and he was sure he'd heard rantaro say something along the lines of 'silence, simp,' which caused ouma to laugh as well.

after he'd managed to convince shuichi to get at least a bagel, they walked to the table with their friends.

"hey you two!" kaede greeted them and looked around expectantly.

"heya, sidekick!" kaito grinned, and maki looked up to them with a silent nod. go figure.

"hey." rantaro wasn't quite as energetic as the other two, but he still had a friendly smile on his face.

ouma would hear a surprised squeak from kaede as miu wrapped her arms around the pianist from behind, and he pretended to gag.

"oh shut the hell up, you bastard." she laughed, ouma knew she was joking, "you're just jealous."

ouma quirked an eyebrow and a sudden idea was brought into his mind. "jealous? why would i be jealous when i have my beloved shumai?" once again, the detective blushed. and even more so when kokichi wrapped his arms around him with a mischievous grin. it didn't take an idiot to know he was lying, but unfortunately, they were sitting at a table of idiots.

so of course, they got a few confused looks. "the hell ya say?" came from the one and only gorgeous girl genius.

"nee-heehee! am i joking? am i.. lying? it seems you'll never know.. a shame, really."

shuichi was not having the time of his life right now. he just slowly ate his food, head ducked down to at least hide the growing blush.

"hm.. and it seems your only one who can confirm or deny that statement is out of order." kokichi strung his own fingers together, hands clasped in front of his chest.

"i dunno what the hell your onto, but i doubt it's good."

after a few minutes of bewildered silence, korekiyo arrived and sat next to rantaro. they were awfully close, and he could tell by the scrunched up eyes of shinguji that he was smiling under that mask.

"cough- gay." ouma giggled, and miu stared at him

"sorry to break it to ya, but you're sitting at the table of the gays- kaito and maki excluded. we all know what those two do behind the scenes." she wiggled her eyebrows, and maki muttered a low, "do you want to die?" while kaito blushed furiously.

"hey, ya didn't deny it, didja?" miu pressed, leaning forward, and kaito had to literally grab maki to stop her from lunging at the inventor.

~~~~

as ouma and shuichi walked back to the dorm they shared, shuichi gave him a confused look. he cleared his throat.

"w-what did you mean.. back there?" he asked quietly, despite the more than empty hallway.

"you know what i meant, shuichi." kokichi grinned, and the boy in the hat quickly looked down, eyes wide.

"or do you? maybe you don't know how much i love you~" ouma continued the teasing, and he could tell shuichi's eyes snapped his direction. "just kidding!"

as much as he did like the boy, that might make him uncomfortable.. and that's the last thing ouma wants. either way, kokichi held the door open for him with a quiet, 'ladies first!' and followed him in.

the purplette sat on his own bed, swinging his feet off the edge with a childish giggle.

is shuichi *that* dense?

he looked up to saihara, who was going back to whatever detective work he got assigned this time.

will he ever know how much i care about him?

kokichi sighed, flopped backwards onto his bed, and closed his eyes.

maybe he never will. i can.. i can live with that.

berore he knew it, ouma was asleep.

after a bit, saihara crept from his room and saw kokichi, splayed sideways on his bed, and a smile tugged at his lips.

he gently lifted him up, as to not wake him, and lay the sleeping boy across his bed the right way, and pulled a blanket over him. shuichi would probably die if he was actually awake, but he still pushed a strand of hair off of the small boy's face to admire it for a moment, before heading to bed himself.

"goodnight, ouma."  he whispered.

"goodnight, shumai." he heard the response.

oh no-
