#i’m still alive!!!! i swear!!!

[azul-marie]

hihi i'd like to request domestic headcanons for iori, ryu, and nayuta please!

hello! thanks for requesting. i hope you enjoy your reading, and that you have a great day! be well and safe. ❤️

note: gn. reader.

genre: fluff/romance.

characters: iori suiseki. ryu natsume. nayuta yatonokami.

iori:

the type who sleeps only on his side of the bed. he prefers the left side, but will give it up should you prefer it too. iori also likes using lighter blankets/duvets even in colder seasons, which may only be an excuse to cuddle up with you much more often. (he won’t say.)

never does much skincare aside from a simple cleanser/moisturizer but always manages to have flawless skin. he’s not opposed to trying makeup, but really only enjoys eyeliners that accentuate his eyes.

if it weren’t obvious enough, iori is a big fan of jewelry. he has a whole storage system dedicated to his collection, made up mostly of high-end watches and personalized rings. while he holds an extremely flashy style, he’ll only buy pieces that speak to his personal taste rather than purely expensive ones to flaunt.

ryu:

will always want to be the little spoon, regardless of height/size differences. he likes the pressure of your body hugging around him, and once you latch onto him, he will not let you go. will likely end up burrowing underneath you overnight, along with your half of the blanket.

personal space? with ryu? not anymore. he’s so casual about being in your bubble at any given time. showering while you bath, changing in the same room, or showing public affection are a few examples of his openness with casual intimacy, all because of your close bond.

likes having movies/shows/noise in the background to fall asleep. he doesn’t even have to be in the same room as the source of noise, just close enough so that he can hear it before dozing off. ryu also wants to be cuddled up with you, so this habit may or may not be a dealbreaker for sharing a bed with him. (he’ll pout but wear earbuds instead.)

nayuta:

can’t eat meals without you. he’ll patiently wait for you to finish a task or come home from work/school so that the two of you can eat together. he’s always had company when he eats, whether it’s you or kanata, so he’d feel lonely on his own.

insists on doing housework chores alone. not only because he likes the work/doesn’t want to burden you, but nayuta is very particular about how things are done around his space. whether it’s little things like neat shoes by the door, or how his shirts and jeans are folded, he’d prefer being in charge so he knows where every detail lies.

a big fan of sharing clothes with you, should the two of you be of similar statue. he loves seeing you in his clothes and is not embarrassed to ask to borrow a nice shirt or cool jacket of yours for a day. if the two of you differ in size, nayuta would instead buy matching clothes for you to wear together, especially pajamas so he can admire how cute you look alongside him.

another day, another wildfire.

last week, there was a spark in our pump house that triggered a small explosion, causing a bird that was sitting nearby to catch on fire. in an act of desperation, he attempted to fly away, lasting only a few yards before falling to the ground. his still-smoldering body then became kindling for the neighboring wheat field. 

i noticed the smoke as i sat at the kitchen table weaving together reeds for a blueberry basket.

on the phone with the fire department, and then the electric company, and then my mother (to cancel plans for dinner), it struck me that while i have in many ways been at my most relaxed since moving here, i also find myself continually waiting for the next disaster. because out here, there will always be a wildfire. a widowmaker during a windstorm. a wasp nest waiting right above the front door.

and yet, nothing has ever kept me on my toes so much. by day, i move irrigation pipes, install floodlights, fix plumbing, attempt to drink enough water to combat the 108 degree heat. by night, i lie in bed, trying to remember if i checked the mouse traps, locked the tool shed. i start creative projects that i never finish, forever distracted by the weight of whatever it is i’m “actually” supposed to be doing.

that said, every morning i wake with purpose—even if that same responsibility sometimes becomes a plume of smoke near an open pasture (occasionally suffocating, perhaps, but a welcome warning nonetheless).

and then there is saffron, our new 5-year-old rescue. she is unlike any cat i’ve ever met; gentle and trusting, but holding back at every step. sometimes i lay on the floor with her for hours, eyes closed and head turned the opposite direction, all in an attempt to get her to step into the light. every now and then i’ll feel something tickle my ear, retreating when i turn to look. it’s as if she’s a ghost—the evidence of her existence only found once she’s picked another hiding place. it’s a happy haunting.

directing the trucks to where the fire began, the wind picked up. i held my breath, noting its direction, and looked down to realize that—in my haste to exit the house—i’d forgotten to put shoes on. the soles of my feet were now burnt, bare on the hot pavement, and with the fire finally being contained i tip-toed back down our gravel driveway and into the house.

i sat at the kitchen table, still messy from my crafting, so i could ice my feet and watch through the window as the flames finally dissipated. the smoke hung in the july air.

i never did finish the basket.

How IS mistyStar still alive?

[azul-marie]

mmh I don't know if this is really an American term, it's just something I found on google after seeing a movie that I really liked, headcannons related to a "pollyanna" mc that apparently means someone who has the ability to focus only on him positive side and just like in the movie, mc teaches the boys the "happy game" The game is to find something to be happy about in every situation, no matter how bleak it is, I feel that many of the pararai boy lack some uvur optimism for my fav group TWC<3

hello! thank you for your request. i have not heard of this movie before, but what a sweet concept! these moody boys definitely need some cheering up once in a while, haha. please take good care. ❤️

genre: romance/fluff.

characters: naoakira saimon. yohei kanbayashi. ryu natsume. shiki ando.

saimon:

there’ve been plenty of times he’s felt bleak and alone. whether it’s memories of his last love emerging, or feeling helpless seeing his young wards distraught over little things in life, saimon is indeed a sensitive, caring man who tends to place more on his shoulders if it meant relieving someone of it. with this comes a heavier sense of duty on the mind, one he’s not always able to address properly. however, you help him do just so.

in times of distress, you and your sweet words bring a soothing cloud to his jumbled mind. your innocuous game is easy enough, and simple so he’s able to play even if you’re not around. saimon is willing to learn from your positive outlook, finds it useful for when he’s caught up in his own ordeals. he appreciates the way you see the world and hopes to feel as you do someday.

yohei:

the worst things in life are what yohei’s prepared himself for, seeing how often they come to fruition; losing family, fighting for survival, a lost love unrequited. yohei is never quite the optimist you yourself have come to be, but finds himself drawn to the sweet simple way you look at life. there is an envy, almost, his over how happily you go through days, never dragged down by weight of sin’s past. you are never without a hope or a wish.

it’s silly, yohei thinks, this cutesy, wishy-washy game of yours. you want him of all people to play along? it’s only at your insistence (and perhaps kisses) that he begrudgingly agrees to play. he’ll struggle at first, needing your insight to help him decide just why little moments spark joy. it’s a game he’s yet to master on his own. but slowly, slowly, does he learn to play even without your gentle guidance.

ryu:

there isn’t much that brings ryu down. he is utterly carefree and impassive of the things around him, his world being far better to spend time in. he is perhaps a great match for you in this sense, in sharing this ever positive outlook. but even he has secrets of his own, unlike the chaos and play of his usual self. there are times he becomes inexplicably downtrodden, always over memories blurring into millions of fragments. surely your game brightens his day, helps him to realize you’re always there besides him.

games! games! games! if there’s anything ryu likes, it’s a good game. he’s made up plenty on his own, but he’s happy to try yours out. he’s already very good at picking out good and great things that happen in his day — he likes to imagine plucking them like flowers to bring to you later, to prove he’s a master of your fun, happy game. ryu often visits you just to tell of his day and his findings, in every and all detail, and it’s all thanks to you.

shiki:

pessimism is perhaps too familiar a foe for shiki. it is a mindset ingrained in him for so long, he’s hardly known any other way to live. it is with the support of his family that he’s improving as he grows, and knowing you care for him despite all his flaws, too. you two are likely the most unusual pairing, opposites attracting and all. you are every bit as happy as he is gloomy, but somehow you’re able to bring out the best in him regardless.

he takes your game very seriously, wholeheartedly taking account of your thoughtfulness in teaching him. shiki tries his hardest to play even when you’re not around to encourage him, with varying results. but he’s grateful for the second instinct you’ve instilled in him, to look for positives with his negative eyes. he knows he has a lot of work to do to get over his moody disposition, but as long as he has you, your happy game, maybe it won’t be so bad to get through.
