#ibusaki shun x reader

[thatanimewriter]

STEAMY... OR IS IT SMOKEY?

➳ request: Hello there ok I was thinking about it for a while because I don't want to abuse sending a request to whatever I can think of, you can do a one-shot of Ibusaki x Reader, where they are making out but it is also very fluffy,in shun's room Pls

➳ character/s: ibusaki shun

➳ warnings: making out, getting interrupted, lowkey sadness from shun, spoilers for the end of season 1??, shun is taller than reader, slightly suggestive touching but nothing explicit, isshiki throws a condom at y'all

➳ word count: 0.4k

➳ notes: more fluff for the fluffy haired boyyy here we go!

𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬 / 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭  / 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 / 𝐰𝐢𝐩 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭

make out sessions with ibusaki were very rare. he wasn't the most openly affectionate man out there, usually opting to hugging you from behind and resting his head on your shoulder and giving it a little soft kiss. maybe he'd hold your hand and interlock fingers as you gently tugged him along with you. however, the few times you managed to get more passion out of your otherwise quiet lover were always memorable.

soft orange light filtered through the window to ibusaki's dorm as the sun continued to lower beneath the horizon. an arm held you tight against his body, a hand gently tracing patterns over your side as he flooded you with affection.

"you did good, shun," you said quietly, slightly breathless. "i know you would have liked to get through to the second phase, but i'm proud of you for getting into the autumn elections in the first place." reaching up to his face, you brushed his fluffy hair back slightly so you could see his eyes properly. humming to yourself in content, you rested your forehead against his and pressed another kiss to his lips.

"thanks..." he murmured against your mouth, dipping in to taste more of you. "means a lot." gently, he rolled over so that he could hover over you slightly, earning a surprised squeak from you. "so cute," he commented, carefully placing a hand on your neck to feel your pulse quicken as he continued to capture your lips with his.

"'s embarrassing to say," you whined, bringing your hands to your face to hide the flustered expression from your boyfriend. he chuckled at your antics, instead giving little butterfly kisses to your hands.

"the truth hurts," he responded, prying your hands away from your face and nuzzling his nose against yours. shyly wrapping your arms around his neck, you returned the affection. seeing ibusaki with the sunlight behind him illuminating the outline of his hair made you wonder if you truly did find an angel. the moment was short lived though, as the organic flow between your bodies came to a screeching halt at the sound of a ceiling panel being pushed to the side.

"hey guys! we're gonna have- oh?" isshiki's easy-going smile warped into a mischievous smirk. "getting a bit frisky, are we?"

"isshiki-senpai-"

a breezy laugh escaped the senior's throat and he waved his hand dismissively. "it's ok, as you were." reaching into his pocket, he threw a small square wrapper onto the bed where you and ibusaki lay. "wrap it before you tap it, kiddos!" he called, swiftly putting the ceiling panel back.

ibusaki groaned, dropping his weight onto you and hiding his face in the crook of your neck. "he's gonna tell everyone..."

you giggled at his concern, carding a hand through his hair. "probably."

i. shun & y. soma dating hcs

a/n; are there any other food wars writers and can i PLEASE be friends with them 😔😔 the food wars x reader tag is so dry unless im posting :pepeHands:

anyways i hope you enjoy this! i went ham bc i love soma and shun so goddamn much

yukihira soma

he's a little shit, a playful motherfucker

(if he confessed first) he will not let you live that down

(if you confessed first) he's salty about it bc he wants to be the "big brave man" and wanted to sweep you off your feet and not the other way around

you are a main victim to his disgusting creations

but you're also the first one to taste the heavenly creations

it's like a lose win - win win situation here.

unfortunately you have the loss but it's okay bc he makes it up to you

BE COMPETITIVE WITH HIM, HE LOVES THAT

he loves a snarky s/o, i can imagine

he likes someone that he wants to cook for but also wants to compete against

even if you lose to him, he finds the competition to be a good way to spend time with you

he also loves how angry you get if you lose sometimes

food is his love language, that and words of affirmation (no you can't change my mind about it)

like, yall you've seen how fucking excited he gets when his dad encourages him jsjdjsjsj

he certainly doesn't mind physical touch but words seem to get to him more despite how he can't read a room but it's okay we love him

i like to think he does get jealous but depends on the situation

like if there's some person he doesn't know trying to flirt, he's straight up wrapping his arms around you and dragging you away

he doesn't mind if people he knows interacts with you (in fact it's usually a bit between you and megumi, you often fluster her)

but when it's a stranger, it's on sight

he becomes a clingy bitch when he’s jealous pls give him attention

he gets excited talking about you to others, it's so cute :((

OH AND WHEN HE CALLS HIS DAD AND TELLS HIM ABOUT YOU, HE REALLY FUCKING LOVES YOU

his dad probably listening with a proud smile on his face as soma rambles about you

idk y but there would be those really funny moments, like you know the spongebob scene where mr krabs sells off spongebob for 62 cents? 

yeah soma is mr krabs in that scene while he gets challenged to a shokugeki and puts you as reward

don’t worry though, he doesn’t do it (not often at least)

even when he does, he’s winning that damn shokugeki

once he wins, he looks up at you with that smug grin on his fucking face

but we all know he fought with his all and he would do it again if it meant that he could stay with you forever :]

ibusaki shun

he’s a really chill boyfie

and we love him for that

(if he confessed first) he feels rly proud of himself that he got out of his shell and picked up the courage to talk to you

(if you confessed first) he’s pretty surprised that you did it first but he’s sort of happy that you did (though he would’ve still liked to confess first)

just like soma, you’re the first to get his creations

he doesn’t really look for anyone’s approval (mostly looks for critique than approval) 

but when it comes to you, he just really wants to see you happy bc of his food

in public, it seems like shun doesn’t care for you often

but all his friends and you, all know how caring he is

he’s not open about it, he’s very quiet and subtle about it

he’s very observant, and he uses that to watch over you and take care of you

oh you said you were thirsty? he has a water bottle for you 

oh you’re cold? boom, take his hoodie

oh you’re tired? he’s quietly offering you to sleep on his shoulder

in public, he’s not a pda person

but indoors, he shows his affections much more.

he just wants to make sure you know that he loves you :((

shun’s love language is gift giving, honestly i can see him making a playlist that reminds him of you 

he really wants to just give you gifts and he’s all like “you deserve the world and i wish i could give you it” im skdjskjffkgj pls he’s so cute

no one can really tell if he gets jealous or not, except you

he’s a little possessive but that’s only bc he’s insecure 

when you don’t give him enough attention, he’s like that small chicken with a small knife, *no talk im angy*

it’s okay though, you give him the attention he wants in the end

shun rambles to isshiki about you, no i do not take criticism

isshiki teasess him about it at first but he finds it really endearing when he notices how happy shun is when he talks about you

also he loves rambling to you !! pls he gets really happy when you ask him about something he likes to do

LIKE LET THIS BOY SPEAK MORE PLEASE- I LOVE HIM

i hc that he’s always quiet bc he’s more of a listener friend than a speaker friend but like bc of that no one really talks to him about the things he wants to talk about :(((

he would also fight for you with his entire life :]

stranger | s. ibusaki

pairing : ibusaki shun x gn!reader

request by anon​ : Hey same anon here can you write some headcannons for shun and the idea is reader and shun bump into each other a lot and neither are angry about it but there are a couple of embarrassing times they wish it didn’t happen

note : yumi’s food wars debut ! not sure which shun you wanted, so let me know if you meant kaido shun nd i’d be happy to write it for you <3

so the first time you two bumped into each other was when you were running late for class. you were desperately trying to fix your tie while running towards your class, not paying attention to where you were going. you didn’t want to be late for your first day. 

meanwhile, shun was making his way back to the dorm since he forgot something. looking up, he saw you running towards him and it seemed like you didn’t even notice him. before he could move, or tell you to stop, you already bumped into him. you blurted out a quick sorry and helped him get up before you ran away again, determined to not miss class.

shun didn’t recognize you, and just assumed you were a transfer student. 

second time you guys bumped into each other was at night. you were making your way back from a late night cooking in the campus, and were trying to find polar star dormitory. 

but it was way too dark, and your phone was already dead. so what did you do? you decided to just sit in the middle of the road. there was no way you were going to find the dorms in this state, so might as well just rest there.

you were about to fall asleep when someone tripped over you. guess who? ofc its shun ! <3

“oh hello, stranger! what brings you here?” you nonchalantly asked him, as if he didn’t just find you asleep in the middle of the road. you smiled up at him, trying to hide your embarrassment. 

meanwhile, shun was starting to question his sanity. was he hallucinating? he looked at you again, noticing the scratches on your knees and the twigs on your hair. what the hell happened to you? should he call campus security?

though it was quite embarrassing to tell him about how you ended up there, you really didn’t want to sleep there. so, you asked him if he knew where the dorms were located. luckily, he was making his way there and let you tag along with him. 

[peacchyluna]

“meraki; pt.2″

ibusaki shun x reader; food wars pt.1 | you are here | pt.3 ?

contain: slight angst word count: 872 notes: sorry for being so inactive everyone!! everything has been taking a toll on me and my mental health, I hope you could understand that!! song is “La Vie En Rose” by Louis Armstrong!!

Time does fly by quickly. You were packing your stuff, ready to leave the Polar Star dormitory. Unfortunately, you got expelled for having low grades. You sighed looking at your window, the rain was heavy but the school required you to leave instantly. A sigh escapes your lips as you see the acceptance letter in your drawer. Knocks echoed through your room.

"Y/n? are you there?" a voice asked from the other side of the door. None of your dorm mates knew you were expelled. You walked to the door and opened it. Revealing Megumi with a worried face. "Yes, Megumi? Did you need anything?" You smiled at the girl, blocking the view of your room. "You didn't come when I called you down for dinner." You put your hands together in an apologetic manner, "Sorry I didn't hear you, but I wasn't hungry anyway." She nods "I understand, sorry for disturbing you!" she then walks away.

You closed the door once again. As if sensing the mood, the clouds started pouring. Thunder was heard and the rain was harshly tapping against your window. Going to your vinyl player, you took out La Vie En Rose by Louis Armstrong and spun it. Backing away from your vinyl player, you slowly swayed to the instrumental.

"Hold me close and hold me fast, the magic spell you cast. this is la vie en rose."

You sang, holding a spatula as a makeshift microphone. A smile creeping up your face as you imagine yourself in his arms. "But there's someone else in his arms already." you thought to yourself. 

"When you kiss me, Heaven sighs. And though I close my eyes, I see la vie en rose."

Your dormmates heard a song playing from upstairs, they decided to check it out. Going up the stairs, they see the light in your room seep through the cracks of the door.

"When you press me to your heart. I'm in a world apart. A world where roses bloom."

They turned to each other as they heard you sing and smiled. Shun held out his hand towards Ryoko. She blushed and put her hand on it, "May I have this dance?" Shun jokes. Ryoko smiled, "I'd never say no to you." With that, they started dancing outside your door.

"And when you speak, angels, sing from above. Everyday words seem to turn into love songs."

Everyone soon joined in the dancing and enjoyed themselves, forgetting why they went up here in the first place. While you spun around by yourself in your room, enjoying the moment. Then you heard laughter outside of your door, you then knew you had an audience. By the clicking of shoes against the floor, you assumed they were dancing. "I never knew you were such a good dancer Shun" you hear Ryoko compliment, "I learned from someone," he replied to the girl.

"Give your heart and soul to me. And life will always be, La vie en rose."

You stopped singing letting the song end. Smiling about what Shun said to Ryoko, "He remembers that?" you thought to yourself as you reminisced the time where you taught him to dance. As the song ended, you opened your door and saw everyone enjoying their time.

"You guys enjoyed that?" she jokes at them and they nodded. Yuki clapped her hands and smiled, "you sound exactly like Meraki!". You stiffened at her comment, "I could never sound that amazing..". Yuki showed you a thumbs up, "You sound amazing!" Satoshi then cut in, "It's late, let's sleep."

Everyone agreed and were heading to their dorm rooms, you greeted them goodnight and went inside your room again. You had to leave by tonight. Finishing your packing, you dragged your suitcase and put on your backpack then head out to the main area. "Y/n-san" a voice came from behind you as you were about to reach for the door.

"Fumio-san, you waited for me?" you turned to the old woman, tears starting to form. She spread her arms wide open and you let go of your suitcase and ran into her arms, hugging her tightly. "Fumio-san, I don't want to go yet." She wraps her arms around you and places her hand on atop your head, "Oh, my dear Y/n.." It was sad if we're going to be truthful. Fumio-san was your mother figure throughout everything. She knew everything and she was the only one who knew about this. "I have to go" you pulled away sadly, she smiles at you with tears in her eyes. "I'm proud of you." Tears rolled off your cheeks, "Fumio-san, you don't have to.." "It's the truth, now go before it reaches midnight."

You nod and hug her one last time. Picking up your suitcase and going to the door, you opened it and left the dormitory. You rushed to the gate, not wanting to prolong this anymore. Opening the gate, you left the dormitory grounds. Looking back with a sad smile, you then went down the road, in hopes to find a cab.

[sips-tea-cutely]

hello ! I saw that ur looking for food wars request, so can i ask for erina, soma, megumi, alice and ibusaki with an s/o who cannot cook at all. like. They were asked to wash rice but they left it for too long and it became rice wine 💀💀

u dont have to do it of course lamaisjjshsj

Erina, Soma, Megumi, Alice & Ibusaki’s s/o who can’t cook

a/n: I LOVE FOOD WARS YEYSYSSYEYEYD

#Erina Nakiri

…shes not mad, just… disappointed ٩(๑`^´๑)۶

she loves you to death but, you need to learn how to cook at least instant ramen, she won’t always be there to be your personal chef (free too! ugh/lh)

would do a much more lenient version of her lectures from the central arc. of course, doesn’t expect you to be as good as the polar star (& friends) so she’d make simple recipes

would eventually begin to go from being in a classroom to actually being in the kitchen and would guide your hands so expect lots of cute handholding (⌒▽⌒)

ultimately, hooray you can cook now!! erina would make sure her s/o can cook if it’s the last thing she’ll do >:)

#Soma Yukihira

honestly wouldn’t be against it (^｡^)

it’d give him more opportunities to cook for you! you’re his personal taste tester!!

he would use you as a muse for his horrible taste combos to use against megumi & erina ehehe…~

maybe, if you give him a combo like, for example, sugar and rice, he’d see some potential in it and use it during a food war :00

if you ever wanted to challenge him in a food war, he wouldn’t go easy on you~! even if you lose, he won’t gloat, he’d taste your dish and give you some constructed criticism, such a good bf!! (*^◯^*)

#Megumi Tadokoro

she loves you so much but she has a panic attack every time you go into the kitchen,,,

she loves you still so she cooks for you ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ!! soup, salad, whatever you want!!

assures you that it’s okay that you can’t cook, she loves taking care of you!!!

would be genuinely scared of you tho… if you accidentally made rice wine in only a few minutes or so Σ੧(❛□❛✿)?!?

she’d let you stay over at polar star, she thinks you and ryoko would get along! :00

#Alice Nakiri

Σ('◉⌓◉’)… even as a genius molecular gastronomer, she still cant figure out how you made rice wine in the 30 minutes she was gone,,,

she’d boss you around the kitchen, giving instructions but in a light-hearted way, yknow? she only wants you to at least be able to cook a steak!

if that doesn’t work, she’ll try visual learning. she’d show you step-by-step. would be a little annoyed if you asked her to repeat something but, you’re her darling, so it’s ok!

if THAT doesn’t work, she’d try explaining it as a lecture. explaining the proteins & carbohydrates and why different foods taste great together

would def tho let you have experiment in the kitchen and force ryo to clean it. or if ryo’s busy, she’d leave it for erina to discover on her own,,, no matter what kind of yelling erina gives her, she’d be happy that she got to spend time with you (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)

#Shun Ibusaki

congratulations on doing the impossible!! you made shun ibusaki shocked :00!! he just needed you to cook some rice for the shrimp he was going to prepare for dinner but… how come this rice tastes alcoholic..? did sasaki do something?!?

he wouldn’t care though tbh~

he would teach you basic things if you’d like but doesn’t expect you to learn how to cook! (wouldn’t be disappointed if you learned tho!!)

would be super happy to cook for you, wouldn’t show it though :;(∩´﹏`∩);: if you have great eye sight, you might see him with a tiny grin :000

if you’re willing to, he’d be delighted teach you some knick knacks about smoke cooking. practicing his skills AND spending time with his dear? it’s a 2 in 1 deal!!! ♪( ´θ｀)ノ

A - Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)

— If you’re a female he’d have sex with you when you’re on ur last pill. You’d experience a pregnancy scare but he’s there for you, supporting you all the way.

W - Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)

— Shun has an oral fixation, always got the need to have something between his lips. your neck almost screams to be marked up.

You were studying in your boyfriends room, a few minutes ago he had offered you to sit on his lap to help him with an exercise. While you were explaining him how he got to solve it he starts nipping at your neck and pulled you deeper into his lap.

Shun grabbed you by your throat from behind and pushed your back against his chest, giving him better access to your neck. He slid your shirt off your shoulder and started sucking on your flesh, grinding his arising erection against your butt at the same time. “S-Shun“ you moaned and grinded back against his crotch, wanting to feel more of him. “Patience, Angel, I’ll take very good care of you.“ he mumbled into your neck and continued marking up your smooth skin.

X - X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)

— Pretty Dick Squad™️

— Has a bit more length than girth and the two long veins alongside his dick. Just perfect, 7’5 inches.

Z - ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

— Cleans up and makes sure you’re alright before he takes a recovery nap.

PSD Quartet plz?

 Ofc, fellow PSD-Stan

Shun Ibusaki

Why I like them - I like how mysterious he is and it also adds great comedy how emotionless he always is when surrounded by the PSD-members who more than often get utilized for reaction shots and are therefore pretty expressive. I also loved seeing his hidden depth and ambitions, shame that there was no work done with it.

Why I don’t

Favorite episode (scene if movie) - Episode 23/Chapter 55 (AE Premlins), Chapter 96 (This is where he has the moment with Ryoko), Chapter 116 (That’s the Stagiare-Moment of his)

Favorite season/movie - Season 1

Favorite line - “Like hell I can give up! I’m turning things around…” (Chapter 116)

Favorite outfit - I’d say his “Prince of Smoke”-Outfit

OTP - Him x Ryoko Sakaki ❤️ 

Brotp - Him and the Rest of PSD, mainly Zenji Marui ofc. For someone outer-PSD: Akira Hayama and/or Ryo Kurokiba and him sound like a nice friendship.

Head Canon - His favorite song is “Bring Me Back To Life” by Evanescence, no you can’t change my mind on that. 

Unpopular opinion - uuuuUH, a few fanworks (x-Readers) tend to portray him as this straight-forward, smooth guy and I can’t really see that? He strikes me as a shy bean, who would be really unsure about confessing his love for a great amount of time.

A wish - I mean, it’s all over now but….It would have been nice if his obvious grudges from the Autumn Elections would have been explored with more depth. 

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen - Exactly what happened, he never got to do anything ever again ; 7 ;

5 words to best describe them - Silent, Mysterious, Stoic, Ambitious, Blunt

My nickname for them - “mop” ahhdhdGHG SORRY, I LOVE YOU SHUN

-

Ryoko Sakaki

Why I like them - Ryoko is just such a gentle and caring soul, how can you not like her? I like how mature she is in comparison to most of her classmates, but is still made out to be a person you can have fun with. She just has an insane amount of grace and elegance to her in all of her sophisticated calmness and I love her established role as big-sister-figure within the dorm and how it shows specifically when she interacts with Yuki and Megumi.

Why I don’t

Favorite episode (scene if movie) - Episode 23/Chapter 54 (AE Premlins), Chapter 63 (She helped out Soma for his Shokugeki against Alice and it was interesting seeing them interact o3o), Chapter 96 (This is where she had the moment with Shun)

Favorite season/movie - Season 1

Favorite line - “…is that what you’re thinking?” (Chapter 96)

Favorite outfit - hmmmMMM…Maybe that one dress she wears when Erina joins the dorm ovo?

OTP - Her and Shun

Brotp - Her and the PSD Members, most notably Yuki Yoshiko ofc. Outer-PSD, I’d say Ikumi Mito (+ Erina wether or not you count her into PSD)

Head Canon - Has shampoo that smells like cherry-blossoms and therefore carries the fragrance of cherry-blossoms around at all times. 

Unpopular opinion - Don’t oversexualise her please 🙃 Also in a few works, she tends to be portrayed as rather lewd or the girl who had everyone in their bed already, and I could never really see that. She kind off strikes me as someone who would want to “save herself up” for someone special so to speak and also needs a bit of time before agreeing to get physical.

A wish - Again, too late now but welp, it would have been great to see her cook again. 

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen - *mutters* the thing that happened…her never getting proper screen time again

5 words to best describe them - Mature. Calm. Friendly. Gentle. Patient.

My nickname for them - Meep, I like to call her a “Lady” but that’s it ;w;

-

Yuki Yoshino

Why I like them - How can one not like Yuki? She’s such an adorable, supportive, little sunshine girl! Her bubbliness and joyful attitude are just very endearing and it’s always massive fun to watch her. She also has a bunch of funny moments and I enjoy how overdramatic she can get sometimes. To me, she’s a very fun and lovable example of an energetic character. 

Why I don’t

Favorite episode (scene if movie) - Episode 22/Chapter 56 (AE Premlins, though I think her part was done better in the anime), Chapter 60 (First time of her crying, because bby didn’t made the AE and still she throws a party for her friendos afterwards…BBY), 70 + 69 (Her supportiveness for Megumi in her match with Ryo was just the cutest thing ever, change my mind) Chapter 141 (This is where she breaks down crying in-front of everyone), Also Chapter 63 because this is where she asks Zenji if his glasses are just for show and that’s ✨ OTP ✨(next in line for “Great OTP Moments” would be Episode 13/Chapter 28)

Favorite season/movie - Season 1

Favorite line - “I really don’t like this! I don’t want the Polar Star Dorm to be gone!! I wanted..to be with you guys and together….I…I wanted to, cook more with you!” (Chapter 141) + “We of the Polar Star are so fearsome even kids stop crying!” (Chapter 14)

Favorite outfit - Her “Red Riding Hood”-Outfit is hella cute, if it’s something casual I’d say this outfit from that one chapter cover

OTP - HER AND ZENJI MARUI, f O RE VER AND E VERRRRRRRRRR

Brotp - Her and PSD, most notably Ryoko Sakaki. Outer-PSD, Ikumi Mito and Alice Nakiri would be my picks (+ Erina Nakiri, depends on where you count her in -w-)…also hear me out……Her and Kuga. (Or her and Nene for my self-indulgence, hi)

Head Canon - She likes fruit-patterns, tropical fruit-patterns. Especially those with citrus-fruits. 

Unpopular opinion - Hm…I am sure there’s something, but idk as of now

A wish - preCIOUS BABY SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE REWARDS FOR THE TEARS SHE SHED. JUSTICE FOR YUKI MY FRIENDS. SHE ALWAYS SUPPORTED EVERYONE. I WAN T TO SEE HER SUCCEEED. 

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen - (I actually kinda like seeing her in the world of business in Les Dessert so kudos for that I think),  AHEAM her being reduced to a mere reaction character 

5 words to best describe them - Energetic. Spunky. Supportive. Childish. Overdramatic.

My nickname for them - Sunshine bby, Precious Sunflower

-

Zenji Marui

Why I like them - *deep breath* I like smart characters and his very role in Shokugeki is to be the smart guy, but there’s more to that…I like how he’s still shown to be a hard-worker who studies hard to survive in Totsuki’s harsh environment where he’s surrounded by natural geniuses and how he truly excels in the intellectual area. He’s also just great fun to watch wether he’s onto explaining something solemnly or greatly upset about something. I also do like the “Everybody’s-Doormat-Character” who complains about that status a lot because….that’s quite literally my life. Zenji is very relateable for me, because I too have to deal with people who never listen to me and I too am DAMN EASILY EXHAUSTED. Zenji has both serious moments and comedic moments and both work for me and I ju ST LOVE HIM SO MUCH. 

Why I don’t

Favorite episode (scene if movie) - CHAPTER 23/55 MY DUDES (AKA. AE PREMLINS) I GET EMOTIONAL EVERY SINGLE TIME, Chapter 152 (He has some damn nice panels in this, don’t judge me), Chapter 235 (listen, I also just get enjoyment out of my fave-glasses-person explaining the villainy of my other-fave-glasses-person, doNT JUDGE ME) also once again….Chapter 63 + Episode 13/Chaoter 28 because ✨ OTP Moments ✨

Favorite season/movie - Season 1

Favorite line - “I don’’t have an outstanding cooking sense, and my physical strength is below average. That’s exactly why I have a strong desire for ‘knowledge’. All so that an ordinary man like me can fight against all those geniuses!” (Best Chapter Chapter 55)

Favorite outfit - That one shirt he always wears I guess + his “Professor of Taste”-Outfit because he SMART !!

OTP - Him 👏 and 👏 Yuki 👏 Yoshino

Brotp - Him and PSD, most notably Shun Ibusaki. Outer-PSD, as I’ve said…I would have loved to see him interact with Alice Nakiri some more, given that I’d say they’re the smartest members in their Gen. Him and Hisako Arato also sounds like a nice duo. (Also hear me out, his interactions with Etsuya Eizan would be hilarious, I deserve to see t h a t. Someone give it to me, pls. Additionally…..Nene. Just give me the Glasses-Characters-Of-SNS-Spin-Off come on)

Head Canon - I’ll just pretend he also went into the world of business in Les Dessert, because he kind off does in SnKimiko as well….Try to Stop me. Fumio and him have occasional, but intense battles in chess.

Unpopular opinion - *DEEP BREATH* My son tends to get underestimated a lot and be brushed off as just a comic-relief and no-E10-Material and I just…..*sighs* People in the past, did consider Shun E10-Material and Zenji had the exact same score as Shun in the AE Premlins, so I can’t see why he shouldn’t have the same potential. I mean it doesn’t matter because we never got to see any of the two in the Elite 10 so meep, but I am just….sad about the fact that barely anyone is giving Zenji even a chance. 

A wish - *cries* I just wanted to see him cook again*

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen - *LOOKS STRAIGHT AT LES DESSERT 3 IN CONTEMPT*, (also honestly him (+ Daigo and Shoji) lusting after those two “hot” judges in RDC felt really out of place, out of character and just cringe…and I hate it.)

5 words to best describe them - Intelligent. Cautious. Calculated. Whiny. Serious. 

My nickname for them - NUMBER ONE SON

a/n; i,,, didn’t know what gif to put for this so take this. thank you for your patience and requesting! i do be carrying the food wars content on this god forsaken website, on god. but yeah, hope you enjoy !

ibusaki shun

he’s a supportive boy

he’ll get u whatever u need for your art

paint? he’ll go out and get some. need sculpting tools? he’s got some in his drawer

he’s keeping everything you make probably, either it’s in his room or on his person

he may not say anything if you give him something but he’s literally melting on the inside

he’s very happy, i hc that his love language is gift giving and quality time so he really loves giving and receiving gifts, it’s adorable

shun doesn’t really mind if you get really concentrated on your art, as long as he’s there with you, he’s happy :]

but like give him attention once in a while

he’s a quiet person but he’s really sweet

he’s definitely tried to make something for you but he failed so he resorted to making food for you

takumi aldini

he’s a little confused but he’s got the spirit

he doesn’t understand much about the art you do but if it makes you happy, it makes him happy

he also keeps the art you give him but he doesn’t like admitting it

isami tells you anyways

takumi gets really flustered about it but you reassure him that it’s cute but then he gets even more flustered and trips over his words

he loves seeing you ramble about art or when you get really focused on your art

you just look so content and happy, he just wants to kiss you all over your face

he understands why you like photography a lot

because he wants to capture all the moments with you :]

either way he’s a happy boy, he would probably want to learn how to do some art but he just likes watching you be passionate

hayama akira

he understands having an extensive knowledge in something people might not have as much knowledge in 

he has a form of respect for you because you put so much work in your art

he sees that in himself too

hayama really appeciates the gifts you make him

just like shun, he doesn’t verbally express it but he does try to give back to you 

he would definitely make an herbal tea that would help you out if you needed to relax or anything like that

he also likes watching you be focused

also there’s definitely comfortable silent moments as you both work and it’s so nice 

he’s probably got a lot of the gifts you made in his room and jun teases him for it, it’s so cute :((

he gets all angy but we all know he’s not actually angy 

[peacchyluna]

“meraki; pt.1″

ibusaki shun x reader; food wars you are here | pt.2 | pt.3 ? contain: slight angst, swear words word count: 855 :0 notes: I need more ibusaki shun fanfics so uh yeah :) I hope you enjoy part one!! inspired by melanie martinez’s song “Playdate” please listen to her <3

You waved at your dormmates, bidding them good night. "But you won't be able to listen to the Meraki Radio," Isshiki said to you with his head tilted. "It's my bedtime, I plan to wake up early tomorrow. Goodnight everyone.", you rushed to your bedroom once out of everyone's view. Entering and locking your bedroom door, you panted. You clenched your fists and remembered the scene that caused you to run to your room.

Ryoko and Shun were talking while you secretly stared at them. His hand moving towards her face and tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear. Her beautiful giggles echoed in the dining area as she blushed. You fully supported them, even if you liked Shun. He then catches your gaze and nods at you. You gave him a thumbs up to signify that he should continue doing what he was doing. He turned back to Ryoko as you sighed to yourself and went to Megumi to help her from Souma.

You sighed as you heard your alarm ring. Pressing snooze, you went to your chair and sat down. You eyed the headphones in front of you and hesitated to go on air. "They're expecting me— no, they're expecting Meraki." you thought to yourself and put on the headphones. Adjusting your mic, you then went on air.

"Hello again everyone, it's Meraki!" you exclaimed and saw the replies everyone posted on your site. "I decided that I'm going to sing for you guys a new song that I recently produced," you told your audience. "I hope you enjoy!" you say and played the track that you made.

"You call me on the telephone, you feel so far away. You tell me to come over, there's some games you wanna play. I'm walking to your house, nobody's home. Just me and you and you and me alone"

Your dorm mates were cheering downstairs as you continued to sing.

"We're just playing hide and seek. It's getting hard to breathe under the sheets with you. I don't want to play no games. I'm tired of always chasing, chasing after you"

Closing your eyes, you let the tears flow, not resisting it at all. "Is Meraki crying..?" Yuki said in surprise as her eyes read the comments while listening.

The scene between Ryoko and Shun replayed in your head as if it was a broken record. Clenching your fists, you continued to sing.

"I don't give a fuck about you anyways. Whoever said I gave a shit 'bout you? You never share your toys or communicate. I guess I'm just a play date to you"

You opened your eyes and saw the comments, seeing everyone was worried about you. Smiling after reading them, you continued singing.

"Wake up in your bedroom and there's nothing left to say. When I try to talk you're always playing board games. I wish I had monopoly over your mind. I wish I didn't care all the time."

It was true, you wished you didn't care about Shun all the time. You have fallen for him since middle school, he plagued your mind.

"I don't give a fuck about you anyways. Whoever said I gave a shit 'bout you? You never share your toys or communicate. I guess I'm just a play date to you"

Shun decided to leave the rest, saying he was sleepy. Ryoko smiled at him and bid him goodnight and sweet dreams. Hiding his blush, he nodded at her and left Marui's room.  

"Ring around the rosy. I never know, I never know what you need. Ring around the rosy, I wanna give you, wanna give you. What you need"

He passed your room and heard the same song on Meraki Radio. He didn't think it was weird at first until he heard the singing from your room. Peeking in quietly, he saw you with a mic and headphones on.

"I don't give a fuck about you anyways. Whoever said I gave a shit 'bout you? You never share your toys or communicate. I guess I'm just a play date to you"

Lies, lies, they're all lies. You loved him. You did give a fuck about him. Even if it's just a playdate, you wanted to spend more time with him. You wanted him, but he was too far away. Relaxing your shoulders and wiping away your tears, you sang the last lines.

"You know I give a fuck about you every day. Guess it's time that I tell you the truth. If I share my toys, will you let me stay? Don't wanna leave this play date with you"

You sighed finishing the song and stopped the track from replaying.

"Thank you, everyone, for listening to Meraki Radio today. I hope you understand that I will be ending the Radio earlier than expected due to personal reasons. Thank you and goodnight."

You went off air and heard the door shut. Shun immediately dashed to his room. He was such an idiot, how could he have not noticed? He is your best friend. The mic on your shelf, you staying up all night to make "recipes" at your room, and of course— you excusing yourself every time Meraki Radio was on. Other than you being Meraki of the Meraki Radio; something was wrong.

— Depends on his mood tbh. If he wants a kiss he’d do anything to get that kiss.

— Never really shrugs off your affection unless he’s uncomfortable or stressed/annoyed.

Z - Zen (What makes them calm?)

— Knowing you’re safe and sound and head over heels for him <3

[polar-stars]

I think it’s no secret to anyone that my OTP is a rarepair, right?

But the fact that it is a rarepair is actually a huge reason, why I love it so much. 

You see, it was pretty much the first time for me that I entered a rather small fandom. Before, I was always part of fan communities where pretty much everything was a thing somewhere. So I just couldn’t wrap my mind around the fact no one seemed to ship my ship as I first checked out the fandom of SnS. 

And so I started to pay even more attention to the two and what actually was just a small, little, random thing made more and more sense. I explained the ship 100 times to my RL friends and 200 times to myself. To put it simply, my love and obsession just grew and grew and now...here we are.

But well. While I do know nowadays that there are people who ship them, it’s still a very overlooked ship and I wanted to try my best to explain it to the fandom now as well. 

So yeah:

A Ship Analysis (or at least a Try of it) for 

Zenji Marui x Yuki Yoshino

Please note:

1. My opinion. If you have different views, that’s alright okay? Please just leave me be.

2. English is not my native language and I apologize in advance for grammar and spelling mistakes. 

3. Spoilers for both Manga and Anime, of course. I will focus on both. 

4. I will refer to Marui with his first name here, simply because I am used to that. 

5. I am horrible in explaining. 

6. Looots of pictures. 

7. This might get updated in the future quite often *shrug*

1. Actual Explanation and Analysis 

Episode 5, everyone. 

Yep, this is the moment where I started to ship them. 

As I said, they weren’t immediately my OTP. 

It was just this scene and well, seeing Yuki’s energetic, but also demanding way, to wake Zenji up (even tough it doesn’t work) just left me: “Aw, that’s kinda cute. I kinda ship them.”

That’s the story. Very spectacular, I know.

But well. Zenji and Yuki as a pair could be classified as a “Nerd x Energetic Girl”-Type of ship. 

Okay, let’s honestly start now without my nonsense (will I ever be not stupid?)

Their personalities seem to match well and even complement each other fine. Also take a note of the fact, that they’re neither too similar but they’re also not too different. Something I, personally, find pretty important actually. 

Yuki is a curious and energetic girl with a positive mind. She’s always full of enthusiasm, would move mountains for the ones close to her and shouldn’t be underestimated, because she has a strong will.

A thing we want to focus on now is the fact that she is curious. It’s clear that other people’s business is very interesting to her and she does come across as a character who doesn’t likes not knowing what’s going on. 

Zenji is highly intelligent and knows a lot. Next to that he’s clearly able to share his knowledge. During Shokugekis his main role is to explain certain ingredients or techniques that might be unknown to the reader. 

In most cases, he does these explanation isolated from anything and rather for himself (or rather the reader). But sometimes, it’s done trough interactions with other characters. And it’s actually not rare that it’s Yuki who he explains things to.

(^ May doesn’t looks like “Explanation” but he does on the following pages)

It’s also not like this “Explaining”-Thing comes solely from Zenji. Yuki does emphasize it as well.

While this doesn’t happens in the Manga, in the Anime as soon as Soma has questions about the Elite Ten, Yuki immediately turns to Zenji and demands him to explain. While they do act a little like bickering childs in their introduction episode, this could also be simple teasing considering how he reacts:

But you could say, that she has some kind of trust in Zenji in being the best to explain Totsuki’s special things. 

(and actually the characters in Shokugeki no Soma rarely acknowledge Zenji’s intellect. So this is kind of a big deal)

Let’s move to something more significant and probably...their most iconic scene.

Well alright. The scene is execuded a little different than it appeared in the manga, so I will talk about this separately. 

1. Anime-Version

Here, she clearly demands it. 

As soon as Alice pulls out her Molecular Gastronomy utensils and Yuki realizes that she has no clue what Soma’s opponent is doing she, again, immediately turns to Zenji and wants him to explain this to her. 

The way how quickly she does it and how determined her expression is, she probably does has confidence in him knowing what’s going on. 

As he bitterly admits that he can’t explain Alice’s Molecular techniques, she does kind of scold him. But look at how she looks, before saying those “ Are those glasses just for show?!” lines.

She seems like trying to hide dumbfoundedness and maybe even a hint of desperation, which could mean that she firmly believes that if Zenji can’t explain it, no one else (except Alice herself of course) could. So again, she does have trust in him being able to elaborate things unknown to her. 

Also take a note of Zenji in this scene. He does look ashamed as he can’t elaborate. While Ryoko then backs away, as Yuki leans over to say her lines, Zenji remains in his state. It looks like he actually predicted this reaction of her’s and is just still bitter that he doesn’t knows what Alice is doing. 

2. Manga-Version

While in the Manga Yuki still kind of demands it, she does it a little more desperately; a bit like Zenji is her only hope to understand Alice’s ways. 

After he admits that this is out of his league, she doesn’t really scolds him. She is clearly shocked that Zenji could not explain. Clearly shown trough the “Ehhhhh?!”

Zenji’s “I’m ashamed” (which is cut out from the anime) and his expression hint that he might even be really sorry, for not being able to explain Molecular Gastronomy to Yuki. 

Zenji clearly likes to show off his knowledge, as it’s his greatest talent and he is good at it too. And well, Yuki does seem to like ask him stuff because of it. Probably because she likes learning new things and is just curious in general. 

Her questions are most likely also a great encouragement for Zenji. 

(And again, she is actually one of the few characters who acknowledge that he’s a very smart guy.)

And it’s not the only time, that she does encourage him.

Again, Yuki is quite upbeat and full of energy. She needs someone who is able to put up with that. Zenji is and he is even able to benefit for it, as clearly seen here. 

Time for an Anime-Only-Scene

Despite being extremely exhausted, Zenji does give in into playing cards as soon as Yuki excitedly asks what they should do. 

Makes it seems like, her upbeatness in this moment is the reason why he does get’s filled with at least a little bit of spirit again. 

I think this picture sums up a great deal. 

Zenji is a person that mostly follows his brain. Yuki rather follows her heart. 

Zenji can be rather pragmatic, while Yuki is full of passion. 

This creates a great balance. 

Zenji can bring a bit of reason and could advice Yuki with a lot things and a rather rational view on things. But he won’t ever hold her back too much (why, will follow next). Yuki on the other side, can bring Zenji to actually act and not overthink every little detail of a situation. She also brings a lot of fun into his organized, study-focused world. 

Now let’s talk about another aspect that creates this balance. The fact that they’re not too different. 

Something they do have in common is that they’re very expressive characters, who can be very easy to read sometimes. 

Especially compared to their respective best friends Shun Ibusaki and Ryoko Sakaki, they’re still rather immature and do have their childish moments.

Also they both like to complain. 

And are a lot alike when drunk. 

Small Collection of Zenji and Yuki reacting the same way to things:

They both have a fangirlish side (Yuki for luxury and Zenji for Culinary VIPs)

Great talent to be dramatic:

Drunk:

Aaaaand this:

Well that escalated quickly. 

But well. 

Having things in common is very very important in relationships, platonic or romantic. That goes without saying.

And well, I already said at the beginning that Zenji and Yuki do have similarities but also differences. 

This is also why Zenji’s logic won’t hold Yuki back too much, as he can be quite goofy sometimes as well. And I mean, he does always joins into the parties at some point. (What I basically want to say is: While Zenji is a lot more serious than Yuki is, she still can have fun with him)

This is also a lot about their expressiveness and that they can be quite easy to excite. This leaves them kind off on the same wavelength, who can complain together about a bad anime adaptation of an awesome manga. Or who can get all excited when being right in front of an alumni meeting or something. 

It’s honestly really hard to explain for me and I just pray you kind of got my point between my gibberish

Conclusion:

Again, great balance. 

That’s pretty much it. 

One rushes trough the door without much thinking and the other thinks too much without opening it. Together they complement each other.

Yuki’s curiosity get’s satisfied by Zenji’s intellect.

And Zenji’s spirit can be lifted by Yuki’s upbeatness. 

They probably do understand each other well, because they do have things in common and are able to have fun together. 

Altough, they do like to bicker sometimes

But I actually think that just comes from Yuki finding a certain enjoyment in teasing him, because it’s just very easy

2. Nothing off much relevance, just some little stuff, I wanted to throw in

2. 1. In Yuki’s first appearance in the manga, she wears that striped shirt with the cardigan. This also got adapted into the anime. But it actually doesn’t shows up again in the manga. 

Currently she is mostly always seen in this blue shirt (in general she wears a lot of Blue)

Zenji’s infamous shirt, which he always wears in casual scenes was coloured brown in the Anime. 

But guess what color it has in the Manga??

UPDATE

*sneezes* Actually. uhm.....San no Sara touched on that too 

2. 2. During the Breakfast Challenge, the anime showed both of them to be in Hall C

2.3 This is clearly worry: 

2.4 This also...kinda

2. 5. Lots of standing together. A few examples:

Really, just a few. 

2. 6.

Matching Couple Fans

2.7. 

Okay, this is probably me over exaggerating....But there is that one scene in Season 1, where Yuki starts screaming in agony after hearing that Megumi got expelled

This is Zenji’s reaction to it (btw, “Yuki, calm down” is said by Ryoko though, of course)

Again...It’s not all to spectacular...but

PEOPLE!

I could probably come up with more of such little things, but this will do at the moment

As I said, I might edit this a lot in the future. Maybe some scenes get added or the explanation goes further or I notice something new....yanno

I hope I could get my point across to you, tbh.

If you got to this part, thanks a lot for reading this mess. 

Really. 

Thank you.

PICNIC PASSION.

➳ request: hello, can you make a one shot of reader x ibusaki shun where they are on a picnic date and at the end it gets spicy (since you said it's fine suggestive themes)? pls

➳ character/s: ibusaki shun

➳ warnings: fluff and SPICE (suggestiveness)

➳ word count: 0.5k

➳ notes: am always down for some shokugeki no soma thirst -w- gotta love our smokey king with his cup in his mouth and i am READY

𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬 / 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭  / 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 / 𝐰𝐢𝐩 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭  

there was something about laying with ibusaki on a hill during the sunset. you weren’t sure if it was the light breeze that ruffled his fluffy hair slightly, the amazing food you both had brought that evening or the orange sunlight on his skin that made him look like an absolute fucking angel.

filling the silence was both the occasional chirp of a bird or the crickets in the distance. the array of food that had been brought was now gone, and only a stack of empty containers tucked away in the woven picnic basket set aside on the grass beside you. 

laying on the picnic blanket, you turned your head to stare at ibusaki. with his hair covering his eyes, you weren’t sure if he was asleep or not, but you soon got an answer as you reached to run your fingers through his hair. raising his own hand, he pulled your hand from his head gently, using his other arm to bring you closer to him and burying his face into the crook of your neck.

‘shun?’ you asked, trying to suppress the giggles building in your chest at the feeling of his hair tickling your neck.

‘let’s just stay like this for a while,’ he said, gripping you tighter. you sighed at his behaviour, but the smile on your face showed that you were perfectly fine with this predicament; a clingy boyfriend who would never admit how much he loves physical touch.

as the sun continued to set, your eyes settled on the stars that were slowly starting to illuminate the sky and your hand that kept running through ibusaki’s auburn locks slowed, and eventually stopped. the smell of smoke still filled your nostrils, but at this point you’d grown to love it.

ibusaki turned his head to see what you were looking at and huffed childishly, returning to his previous position. a surprised gasp escaped your lips as you felt him press a kiss to your neck. 

‘attention back here, darling,’ he mumbled, planting more along your neck, slowly trailing up to your jaw. the hand that rested against your waist traced patterns over your hip almost microscopically, and though you couldn’t see it, his gaze was trained on your face, relishing in the flutter of your eyelids and shallow breaths due to his advances.

rolling to hover above you, hands beside your head and legs either side of yours, he laughed dryly at your flustered expression, a finger coming to tug at the collar of his turtle neck before pushing his hair back and holding it away from his face. you inhaled sharply at his gaze, meeting his steel eyes and whether you intended to or not, you’d burnt that image into your mind. ibusaki on top of you with his hair pushed back and a devilish smirk adorning his lips.

‘are we really gonna do this here?’ you asked shyly as he leaned down to capture your lips with his. ‘what if people hear?’

‘then i guess you’re just gonna have to be quiet, my love.’
