𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭.𝟏 | 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭.𝟐

𝐊𝐚𝐳𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐲𝐚

Kazutora promised himself that he would never hurt you, but that day, he almost ended up breaking his all-important promise

You were arguing, both of you were yelling at each other, Kazutora couldn't take that situation anymore, and he also couldn't maintain control anymore, as soon as he reached his full state of rage, Kazutora ended up raising his hand to you, but before even if he did, Kazutora realized what he was about to do, remembering his father and all that his mother had suffered.

"No, no, fuck! I'm sorry! please forgive me, baby! I would never hit you, I... I would never hit you, I promise I won't!" He said seeing fear in your eyes, Kazutora feared hurting you so much that he ended up having a crying fit when he saw that he almost hurt you.

𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐣𝐢𝐫𝐨 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐨

➛ Dark impulsivity

Manjiro hated fighting with you, he never took arguments seriously, as he didn't want to end up hurting you, he knew that if he really got angry, he wouldn't know how to control himself, and that's exactly what happened that day

You ended up fighting, for a superficial reason, which made Manjiro extremely irritated, he couldn't stand it anymore, getting up from where he was, he went to you and held you by the hair, telling you to be quiet, otherwise things would get worse, but, you ended up disobeying him, saying a few more words, Manjiro just slapped you and threw you on the couch, yelling at you about the fact that he told you to shut up.

When he calmed down a bit and saw the bruises on your body, he knew he had done it, so he left without even an apology.

𝐈𝐳𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐊𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐰𝐚

Izana couldn't control his anger, but he was never aggressive towards you, you would never expect such an attitude from him, until the day you ended up arguing

Izana was yelling at you as the discussion got getting worse and stressful for both, you started to cry, afraid of the way Izana was behaving, the fact that you started to cry pissed him off deeply, so he ended up holding you by the neck and told you to hold back your "annoying fucking cry", you looked at him with a scared look, fearing the worst at that moment, but as soon as you noticed the redness on your neck and the terror in your eyes, Izana let go of you.

"N-no, you don't have to be afraid of me! I'm so sorry! I'm sorry for the shit I almost just did to you, love." He walked away from you, not believing what he was doing, Izana snapped back to reality and realized he was hurting the person he loved the most.

𝐑𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐢

Despite being an aggressive person, Ran was totally affectionate with you, for that reason, you never thought that he would end up hurting you

You ended up arguing again, Ran was irritated that day, he could barely hear your voice without freaking out, Ran was keeping calm until the moment you said something that ended up pissing him off, he got up from where he was and slapped you, pulling your hair and asking you to shut up, you just obeyed him, fearing for the worst, when Ran finally let go of you, you started to cry softly so he wouldn't hear you, but your crying made him realize what he just did to do.

"D-did I hurt you? Baby? I can't believe I did this to you!" He saw the mark on your face, feeling so bad for what he did, he didn't want to hit you, so the guilt washed over him.

"Your face... Please, baby, I'm so fucking sorry!" Ran bent down towards you and gave you a hug, later, he took care of your injuries and promised that he would never do that again.

𝐀𝐤𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐨𝐦𝐢

Takeomi is a aggressive person, especially with words, but he never hit you, you never thought he would, until everything changed

You and Takeomi were fighting, fights were routine in your relationship, despite that, everything was fine after a while, but, Takeomi had overindulged in alcohol that day, for that reason, he started yelling at you, when you threatened to raise the voice at him, he held it in your face, throwing you against the wall, telling you to shut up and cursing you.

At that moment you just expected the worst, your face was hurt and the tears wouldn't stop falling, when Takeomi realized that you had shut up and your face was hurt, he immediately hugged you.

"See what the fuck you almost made me do? Don't ever behave like that again, I'll never do that again." He said, stroking the wound he had caused on your face.

𝐖𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐬𝐚 𝐈𝐦𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐢

Wakasa was always very calm, he doesn't like to fight with you, so he was never aggressive or even yelled at you, but, you ended up arguing that day.

In this time it really was a serious fight, Wakasa at that moment no longer I couldn't bear to hear your screams anymore so, in an act of pure rage, he ended up slapping you in the face, you just looked at him, with fear in your eyes, you started crying, asking him to get away from you, your face was burning and it was red, Wakasa was just standing in front of you looking at you in that state he himself had left.

He was in total shock, looking at your bruised face, Wakasa felt totally guilty, he never meant to hit you or hurt you, but at that very moment he just couldn't control himself.

"Y-your face, is it really hurt? I'm so sorry..." He begged for your forgiveness, but you just told him to go away, still scared and afraid he would hit you again.

𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐦𝐚 𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐣𝐢

Hanma has raised his voice to you before, despite that, he has never been aggressive, until that day

You were arguing and Hanma was clearly losing control, he was yelling at you, and when you walked away from him, he grabbed your arm, with a strength he had never shown you before, leaving you with reddened and painful skin, you looked at him scared, afraid he would hit you, but as soon as Hanma realized the fact that he was hurting him, he immediately pulled away, seeing your injured arm and tears in his eyes.

"I can't believe I almost did that shit! Damn, I'm sorry, I never meant to hurt you, I don't deserve you my love, I'm sorry!" He hugged you, taking care of your arm that he ended up hurting in anger, Hanma would never have the intention of hurting you, so he never even raised his voice to you after that day.

Hiii😋. I had this small idea of maybe an insecure Izana x gf reader. Maybe he is doubting her love all not knowing she is extremely touchstarved and would practically do anything for him. He is her first boyfriend and all and she aint gonna let him go by the long run. Already has a life planned with him in head.

Got inspired by a tiktok audio 😭. Heres a little scenario..

Izana: Tries to break up with her because thinks she deserves someone better.

Everyone pauses as he says the words.

Y/n: Pauses midway as she was about to drag him out for their date. She looks at him wide eyed, her smile faltered a bit before returning back. What?...

Izana: You and me are over!

Y/n: Izana, did i do something wrong....?

Izana: I dont want to be with you anymore. You and me are over!

Y/n: ...You and me will never be over!!. Pulls out a gun and points it at him.

Tenjiku just watching it happen. Izana just stares bamboozled.

Y/n: You hear me. you my man!! And till death do us part. Looks at him now frowning , the soft aura around her gone.

Izana: We aren't even married- Yet

Y/n: You my what !!?. She interrupted him and points gun at him.

Izana: Im your man...

Y/n: Until when!!?

Izana: Till death do us part...whispers quietly.

Y/n: Puts the gun away and gentle cuddly aura comes back. Izana lets go on our date now. And Reminder, im never letting you go, i love you and i dont plan on stopping.

Izana just trying to process what happened.

GUYS HELP, out of curiosity I started wind breaker (tokyo revengers always superior without a doubt) and I strangely liked it to the point of developing a small obsession for Suo... I was even thinking of opening requests to the anime characters too. Anyway, thanks for the request!

𝐌𝐘 𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓

— Where do you think you're going?

Izana sat on the park bench, hands in his jacket pockets as he stared hard at the ground beneath him. The sun was setting, turning the sky orange and pink. The autumn leaves fluttered lightly around him, and the noise of the city in the distance was muffled by the soft rustle of dry leaves under his feet. Despite the beauty of the moment, his heart was heavy, gripped by thoughts that he couldn't shake. He had always had a strong personality since he was a child, however, lately he had been feeling a little weak. This annoyed him

He was 18, but he felt like a scared child faced with something too big for him. He had spent the last few weeks reflecting on his relationship with Y/n, a girl of only 16 who seemed to have everything under control when it came to the two of them. She was confident, determined, and loved him with a passion he couldn't quite understand. When he first met her, he was struck by her energy and infectious laugh. She was like a ray of sunshine in his life, a light that illuminated every dark corner of his heart. But the more time passed, the more Izana felt overwhelmed by that feeling. He couldn't shake the idea that, sooner or later, he would get tired of her, that their story would end in an emotional catastrophe

Lost in his thoughts, he didn't immediately notice Y/n approaching. She walked as light as a ghost, her footsteps almost imperceptible on the gravel path. When she finally saw him, sitting there, still as a statue, her heart filled with joy. It must be said that the girl also had a rather particular behavior: she had just come out of a toxic relationship when she met Izana, and the more the two became fond of each other, the more her crush turned into an suffocating obsession

"Izana!" she called softly, sitting next to him. He felt a slight shiver run down his spine at the sound of her voice. She was so sweet, so confident. How could she be so sure of them when he constantly felt on the edge of a precipice?. Y/n watched him carefully, immediately sensing that something was wrong. She had learned to read every little nuance of his expressions, every little change in his tone of voice. She loved him so much that every turmoil he had became hers too

"Everything is fine?" she asked, moving closer to him and intertwining her fingers with his. Izana looked down at their joined hands: hers were larger, robust, while her fingers were thin and delicate "Are you already thinking about our future children? One will be called Yukiko, I warn you" says the girl giggling, resting her head on her boyfriend's shoulder "Yeah, everything's fine" he lied, knowing she wouldn't believe it for a second

“Izana, you don't have to lie to me” Y/n said, her tone firmer "If there's anything bothering you, you can tell me. We're a team, remember?". A team. Those words hit Izana like a punch in the stomach. She saw him as part of a team, as half of a whole. But he felt alone, as if he couldn't bear the weight of that relationship alone

“Y/n, I... I don't know how to tell you” he began searching for the right words. But how could he tell her that he was scared of what he felt? That he feared he wasn't enough, that he couldn't keep the promises she expected? Damn, for 18 years he had never had any character problems, he had even killed someone as a child! Why had he become a fucking wimp with this girl?

She looked at him with eyes full of concern, but also of unconditional love "Izana, whatever it is, we can face it together" she told him, squeezing his hand even tighter "I love you, and nothing will change that". Those words pierced his heart, she said them so easily, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. But for him, love was something complex, a labyrinth in which he was lost right now. Izana felt the lump in her throat tighten even more. How could she be so sure? How could she love him so much, when he couldn't even love himself enough?

Y/n occupied his every thought, every breath, and he didn't know if the feeling was a blessing or a curse. Despite his doubts, he couldn't say no to her. She was his weakness and he hated himself for it. Izana felt her body tense for a moment, but then his arms automatically moved to hold her close. It was a familiar gesture, one he had done a thousand times before, but this time it was a little bit different. Y/n was completely obsessed with him, she loved him with an intensity that scared him. Every time he looked in the mirror, he saw a normal boy, full of flaws, and he couldn't understand how he could be the object of so much love from that pretty, and a few bratty, girl

Izana took her hands, noticing how cold and shaking they were "I... I don't know how to tell you, but I've been having a lot of doubts about us lately." Y/n stared at him, panic starting to rise within her "D-doubts? What kind of doubts?" her heart tightened in her chest, the fear she had always tried to stifle now making its way inside her “I'm not sure I'm the right person for you" Izana said, her voice barely above a whisper, “I don't know if I can be what you need, and I'm afraid I'll end up hurting you” Izana's words hit Y/n like a slap in the face, she felt the world collapsing around her and damned jealousy was eating her mercilessly "Izana, what are you saying?" she asked, desperately trying to hold back tears “I love you! Don't you understand? There's no one I want more than you. No one!”

Y/n clung to him, hands gripping his jacket as if it was the only thing keeping her grounded in reality “You will never disappoint me, Izana. Don't you understand that all I want is you?” Izana felt her heart break when she saw how desperate she was. His fear of hurting her was materializing right before his eyes "Y/n, I don't want to make you suffer" he said, his voice cracking with emotion "But I can't continue like this. I can't live with the constant fear that one day I'll hurt you"

Y/n shook her head, tears starting to fall down her cheeks "Izana, please don't do this. I'll be better, I won't ask you for anything anymore. Just stay with me!" the boy lowered his gaze "I... I need time" he said finally, withdrawing slightly from his embrace "I don't know what to do, but I can't give you false hopes". Y/n looked at him, heartbroken. Every word that came out of his mouth was like a stab. "Time? Izana, I don't need time, I need you! And you, damn it, you need me!" the girl shouts with a strength dictated only by jealousy and pure obsession

Izana no longer knew how to react, he turned around, unable to bear the weight of his gaze "Maybe you should go..." he advised, but the grip on his jacket only became stronger "I won't leave until you tell me that you love me and I'm everything for you! Do you really want to see Kakucho again or should I make him disappear for blackmail?" says the girl. Izana knew very well that she wasn't joking, she was capable of doing it and even doing worse, killing him if necessary

"Stop being a brat" says the boy trying to take her hands off his jacket, but the girl's well-groomed hands end up on his cheeks, forcing him to look her straight in the eyes "Izana, don't say these things... spouses they always have to give their best for each other, you know? I know you know, you're just confused, love" says the girl obsessively. The main problem is that Izana's weakness was precisely seeing her in these conditions, otherwise he would have already taken her off in a short time

"I hate you" the boy says, sighing, and then puts his hands on the girl's hips. Y/n relaxes her nerves, smiling at the boy "Say what I told you to say" she says loosening her grip on his face "I love you and you are everything for me" says the boy, wondering if his words are 100% sincere

The girl breaks away from him, gently resting her head on his chest. She was enormously satisfied with having made him the victim, she loved seeing him so weak for her "I love you and it will always be like this" the girl says, and Izana just runs a hand up and down her back to reassure her

Enemies to lovers with izana or ran. But the reader has a traumatic past so she has severe social anxiety. PLEAAASEEEEE!! I just read your work and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM

😍

Not My Fault | Izana x Reader (Enemies to Lovers: Part One)

Izana was the leader of Tenjiku and you knew he had been at fault for the multiple bad things that had been happening around the city of Tokyo. You tried your best to avoid him, however, trouble always found its' way to you. Red coats would scatter the streets as you made your way down the sidewalk; hoping they would just ignore you. Turning the corner, you felt as if someone was following you; watching your every move.

As you were rounding the corner, you found yourself with a sight of multiple men beating up another opposing gang member. That's when you spotted the white haired man, the one who you despised. You and Izana had a past with him trying to recruit you into his new gang, however, you rejected his advances and ever since then, you felt as if he had followed you. He knew that you were a trained fighter and a good one at that. He kept a close eye on you even though you had made it clear you didn't like him nor would you follow him. You turn to walk away before sharp eyes snapped in your direction, calling your name.

"Y/n... come here." Izana said as he landed another kick to the poor guys' stomach before laying him down completely. You continued to walk even faster, knowing that you were no match for Izana Kurokawa. Footsteps followed you and next thing you knew, you were in an ally way with a gate closed off.

"Great, dead end..." you muttered to yourself. You turned around to see him with three other Tenjiku members behind him.

"Dead end indeed. Now can we talk business or are you going to run away like you always do?" Izana spat in a sarcastic tone.

"I want nothing to do with you or your evil antics, Kurokawa." You spat back, backing up against the gate as he approached you.

"Just join me and you will have nothing else to worry about. I need a female fighter on my side when we go against Toman." He tilted his head to the side and stepped forward, now only a few feet away.

"You don't need a female fighter, you want a female fighter. There is a difference." Your back was now fully pressed against the gate, not allowing you an escape.

"Okay... you caught me. Maybe I want you because not only are you strong, but you're smart, cunning, and might I add, adorable." A crooked smile spread across his face as he said these words, making you turn your head to the ground. You had to admit, although Izana was evil and ruthless, he knew how to make someone feel small.

You didn't say anything. Instead, you go to make a break for it around him. You felt his arm stop you dead in your tracks as his men stood guard, ready to catch you unless he didn't.

"Kurokawa-" He stops you mid sentence.

"It's Izana to you and you only." He stated, still holding you by your waist tightly. You start to back up again but he didn't loosen his grip on you. He looked down at you with his lilac eyes and leaned in to your ear, "Grab a bite to eat with me and we'll talk it over."

His words rang through your ears, making you even more uncomfortable than before. He was always scolding you, stalking you, making you afraid to even leave your own house but now he's offering to take you out to eat? It made no sense at all. You stood there in shock, thinking how you could possibly get yourself out of this situation. You glanced over at the three Tenjiku men and then looked back at Izana.

"Izana, I will go eat with you on one condition." You decided on a split second with no time to think. All you knew was that your fight or flight senses were through the roof.

"And the condition is?" He asked, somewhat softly.

"You leave me alone afterwards." You stated, looking at him sternly.

"Deal. Now let's go." He then grabbed your arm and practically drug you behind him, shooing off his men.

After a few moments of walking with him, in silence, you arrived at a restaurant clearly chosen by Izana. Picking a booth in the far back with dim lighting, he sat across from you with a stoic look on his face. His arms were on the table with his fingers intertwined as you sat with your hands under your thighs, clearly uncomfortable.

"So, hear me out before you make your ultimate decision." He stared into your eyes.

"Go on."

"If you join me, there will be money involved. You won't have to fight unless I deem it necessary. I can also offer you protection and a place to live if you need so."

"I don't need any of those things, Izana." You responded as you took a drink of your water.

"But I know you want them. I know you and your mother don't get along. I know that you are working and struggling to pay the bills. I know that-" You had cut him off mid sentence, choking on your water.

"How do you know all of this?" You asked with your brows furrowed.

"Ive been keeping a close eye on you. I also know that Toman is trying to recruit you as well. You're a level three black belt. Ive personally heard stories of your fighting skills and I know that you would succeed with us." He leaned back into his seat and put his hands in his pockets.

"I can manage without the criminal activity."

"We will do all the dirty work. We just need you on our side." He said softly. You knew what he was doing - manipulating you into thinking you were a dire asset to the gang.

"Can I think about it?" You asked, still trying to at least escape the current situation you were in.

"I'll let you think about it. You have three days to make up your mind."

"And if I say no?" You asked, tilting your head to the side out of curiosity.

"Things might get bad for you then." He said as he stood up rather quickly and made his exit. You weren't even able to get a word in before you heard the door slam. Turning around, you see him walk off rather quickly. Taking in a deep breath, you reminded yourself that you had a decision to make.

(A\N: This is my first time writing since I lost my dearest love. Please forgive me if it's not great and forgive me for being extremely late on it. <\3)

a/n: this is for you, i've had this on my mind for some time so I hope you enjoy this @fountain-baby

izana is that possessive boyfriend and it's the kind where you really shouldn't be into it but you are. the kind where he knows where you are at all times and just loves to be able to humiliate you in public when he knows you are wearing the specific panties he bought you. the possessiveness he carries is just so…hot. and when he knows you find it arousing, oh he’s gonna use it to his advantage. especially when you said you'd be back within a couple hours and it's been far more than that and he's upset about it. he buys you those vibrating panties so he turns it on wherever he is just for you to know he is nearby. he starts off slow, giving you the lowest setting first just to see you jolt up in your chair or see your legs buck as you're walking just to see you try and balance yourself again. he chuckles to himself as he sees you look around to see if you can find him and the expression that crosses it when you can't. your friends ask if you're okay and you just brush it off saying that you're fine. just as you're about to get up or start walking again, he turns up the setting, smirking as he sees you try and hold back a moan. you brush it off again, saying you need to go to the restroom where he follows you just to turn it up to the highest it can go, watching you brace yourself against the wall. he will walk up behind you and calmly whispering in your ear that it's him before he takes you into the men's restroom where he has to remind you about your punctuality. but he also has to remind you how much you are his and only his no matter if there are guys in that restroom or not. and if there are guys, he has to make sure they can hear you and how wet you are for him by the sound of his balls slapping against your cute cunny echoing around the room.

a/n: sorry if this got like off topic or just doesn't make sense but i just needed to get it out there

tag list: @reiners-milkbiddies @eroticdarling @nyxe9206

Hello! Happy late birthday! Can you do headcanons of Manila, Tenjiku arc and good timeline Izana's kinks?

Manila!Izana-

Choking- This version of Izana is mean and does not take disrespect very lightly, he's very quick too correct it with his hand around your throat and a little "behave" growled in your ear as he watches all that false bravado drop from your face in seconds with a nasty grin cracking at his lips and a little chuckle following in suite. He also likes too hold you from behind, one hand around your waist, the other around your neck, his thumb brushes against your jaw as he nips at your throat, one of his more softer, rarer moments. He knows you love his hands, so why not slip his pretty fingers around your little throat as he fucks into you from the back?

D\S- He is a dom at heart, that's a fact. He loves a good power-play scene, especially the power imbalance, which is highly likely, given his high position in the gang life. His word in and out of the bedroom is not choice, but law, and he expects you too follow everything he says without an ounce of hesitation. He likes control, it doesn't even have too be sexual but that's what he thrives in, giving orders. He's not one too let his guard down or let people get too cocky with him, he doesn't do too well when people are giving orders, because he doesn't exactly like or follow them. Having control can also be a comfort for him, since he hasn't had much control in his life, but it's also so he can keep an eye on you and keep you in check.

Tenjiku!Izana-

Degradation- He's mean, but he's not cruel, he'd never go so far to the point that you start feeling bad. He wants you pushing at his chest because it feels so good and you can't take it, not because what he's saying is making you genuinely insecure and you don't want too have sex with him anymore. It's mostly back-handed praise though, like, "pretty little slut" or that "you take it better then any other slut" he's been with. It's more often mixed with praise rather then just straight degradation. He's also quite the fan of making you hump his thigh as he calls you out on your messy behavior, leaving you too feel embarrassed as he spits little mocking words in your ears as his hands stay around your hips, making you hump his thigh, your clit rubbing up against the fabric of your pants, leaving you all teary-eyes as you spew out watery apologies.

Spanking- He likes physical punishment, especially when he's delivering it, he really doesn't do too well with bad behavior or bratty comments, especially when they're directed at him. He's a firm believer in a heavy hand solving discipline, especially when it's done right, meaning, by him. Now, this man has two types of slaps that he'll lay on your ass, thighs, or cheek. The ones that are heavy and painful, leaving ugly bruises in their wake as you try not too cry from how quick and precise they are on your skin. The ones that have yelps of pain crawling at your throat too be released from the confinements of your voice box. Then there's the other one, the somewhat soft ones that have you mewling as you look up at him from your place across his lap, his other hand running through the strands of your hair as he tells you, "just a few more love, then you're all done." The ones that have you playfully bratty as you give him those big doe eyes of yours that he loves so much.

GT!Izana-

Breeding Kink- As a child, he wasn't exactly given a happy home, he was left for another by the person he admired the most. He's always wanted a family, and since he wasn't able too have one, he had one himself- or at the very least, he wanted his own. That's the only thing he can think about when he's balls deep in your cunt, your legs sore and muscles tense as he pins your thighs to your chest, fucking into your leaky cunt with little hushes and coos too just be patient, he's almost done, just give him a few more minutes he needs too make sure that it sticks, you can't let any leak out because then he has too fill you again; and honestly it's your fault that he has too go multiple rounds with you, it won't stick if you keep moving and squirming like that baby, what don't you understand. Don't even think about cleaning yourself up, because he will hold you down for the whole night.

Praise- This version of Izana is a sweetheart, he's all about praise, you are the most important person in his life and he'd never make you like less then perfect, because you are. In his pretty violet eyes, you are truly his everything, the light in his very dark world; truly the best thing too have ever happened to him. Anytime he can, he's whispering praise in your ear, it doesn't matter if you're around a whole bunch of people and your face is pure crimson, he'll continue with a cocky little smirk on his face as people ask if you're okay and you're adorably full of stutters as he chuckles in your ear, rubbing his pretty hand up and down your arm in mock comfort. Even if it's something that you're not good at, he'll make you feel like you're the best he's ever had, because in his eyes, you are.

Please Izana + 6 (picnic) on the summer/spring event??

Hi. Thank you for the request. This one got a little long. Izana is fun to write for and sometimes I can’t stop. Hopefully, you like what I came up with.

Izana Kurokawa x Reader: Rest of His Life

Izana was never the perfect boyfriend. He had no idea what the perfect date was. Half the time, he just let you pick. But, something in his mind right now made him start to doubt himself and his skills as a good boyfriend. So, he asked Kakucho what to do. His advice was a picnic date since the weather was nicer. Izana knew this was just what you two needed.

When Izana suggested a picnic date, you were dumbfounded. He never picked a date. Heck, he hated romance half the time! But, you really liked the idea. It would be nice to get away from the gang life and the members of Tenjiku.

The sky was the perfect shade of blue, not a cloud in sight. He carried a large wicker basket full of food, utensils, a blanket, and all the other things that were essential to a romantic summer picnic courtesy of Kakucho who wanted this date to go perfectly for his two favorite people. You were already waiting outside for him, ready to spend time with your love. He took you to a beautiful spot in the park, under a cherry blossom tree. The two of you set up. You laid the blue gingham blanket down on the ground, while he pulled out all of the food and utensils. It was a great day. The food was good and the company was even better.

As the two of you ate, he was a little puzzled. One thing that Kakucho said was that this date would be nostalgic for the two of you. Izana couldn’t figure out what he meant. He didn’t remember you two doing anything like this recently, let alone when you two were in the foster home. His thoughts were disturbed when you grabbed his hands.

“Thanks Izana,” you said, interwinding your fingers, “it reminds me of when we were kids and the three of us used to have picnics outside during the summer. Those were always my favorite days.”

That was it! It was something you loved as kids. “I’m glad you like it. To be honest, I didn’t think of this idea. I’m not very good at this stuff, but I wanted to try for once. I wanted to do good for you.”

“I know Kakucho told me. But I don’t care about any of that. All I want is to love you and for you to love me too. I love you Izana!”

Izana kissed your temples, “I love you too. And I will love you forever.” After finishing and packing up, the two of you headed home. He might not have remembered the picnics from years ago, but he knew he would remember this picnic for the rest of his life.

𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 — 𝐈𝐳𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐊𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐰𝐚

⊹ ｡ﾟ⁖ Izana finds it extremely difficult to show feelings, but on a day when he was sensitive, he ended up confessing to you all the suffering he felt and how much you helped him overcome his problems and traumas, but he also confesses how afraid he is of you abandoning him

⊹ ｡ﾟ⁖ x m a l e r e a d e r!

⊹｡ﾟ⁖ 𝐹𝑡. Izana Kurokawa

A cold winter day, the snow gradually covered the dry trees, Izana was sleeping while you were just reading a book in front of a slope, it didn't take long for him to wake up, then you noticed him going down the stairs, so discouraged, that weather, all that blizzard, you definitely knew that Izana remembered things that she maybe wanted to forget.

"Come here, Izana! Don't you want to lie on my lap?" You said, Izana just remained silent, resting his head on your lap and closing his eyes, so as not to disturb him, you just processed your reading.

"...It's good to have you here." Izana whispered, taking comfort in your legs.

"Hmm? It's good to have you here too..." You said cheerfully, until you noticed the tears in his eyes.

"Izana? D-don't cry, what happened?" You were definitely worried, since Izana refused to cry in front of you.

"I wish this suffering in my mind would stop, the memories, the feeling of being rejected, all of this will always haunt me, do you understand?" Izana said, getting up and hugging you, he definitely wanted to vent, those lines made your heart sink, knowing how difficult it was for him.

"I have a war in my mind and I just can't win it." Again, Izana said in a low tone, you just stroked the boy's platinum hair, making him as comfortable as possible.

"...If you hadn't saved me from myself, I don't know where I would be. You were the only boy who could love a mess like me." Hugging you more vigorously, he just let those words slip away.

"Don't talk about yourself like that, I love you anyway." You responded immediately, stating your feelings for him.

"It's a challenge to love someone like me, you wouldn't understand." Still trying to control his insistent crying, the blonde said in a tone of sadness and disappointment.

"I-Izana..." You didn't know what to say, hearing him speak so harshly about himself was something that hurt you deeply.

"I hate showing love, I hate showing feelings, I hate all of this... But, boy, I need to tell you how much I love you, even though it doesn't seem like it, you were the only person I had left and I still fear losing you." Izana confessed what he always wanted to confess, the fear of losing you had tormented him for a long time, since he was totally attached to you, he simply didn't want to feel the pain of being left aside again.

Just wait, you continued to give affection to Izana, you know that she would never abandon him whatever the situation.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry for saying such nonsense." Izana spoke again, hiding his own tears.

"It's not stupidity, it's your feelings, I'm happy to know how much you love me, I will never, never abandon you." You said right away, caressing the brunette's face and making him open a small smile.

"P-please hug me as tight as you can, okay?" Izana asked gently, looking at you with those beautiful eyes as if you were a puppy.

"Right!" Hugging him, you responded again.

"You're such a sweetheart..." He said as he hugged you after finally calming down.

Omg heyyy!, I find your writing quite good, keep up the good work ♥️. May i request Izana x gf reader. Just reader being smitten and whipped for him, like he could literally be beating /killing someone and shes just staring with lovesick eyes and thinking 'Oh Izana , such a cutiepie. My cute boyfriend. I'll even help him hide the body if he wants.....'

And Izana stating she is his Queen and the Queen of Tenjiku

𝐌𝐘 𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓

— Oh, my toxic loverboy

Izana is my favorite poison, my obsession. I know, I shouldn't feel this way, but I can't help it. Every time I see him, the world comes down to him, every thought, every breath, everything is for him. I want it with such intensity that sometimes it scares me, but it's a fear that I like, that excites me. We found each other, and from that moment it's as if we couldn't do without each other. We are always together, united in this strange vortex that for others might seem toxic, but for us it is everything. I don't want to run away from this, in fact, I just want to dive deeper

— Izana: If I ever had to kill Mikey, what would happen between us?

- You: I would help you get rid of the body, my loverboy

Our arguments, our fights, are just another way to feel alive, remind us of how much we care for each other. It doesn't matter how much we get hurt, because in the end we always come back together, hungrier than before, more eager to own each other. I know that others don't understand, that they look at us with that look of disapproval, but I don't care. No one can understand what it means to be with Izana. He is my dark half, my reflection in a distorted mirror, and I am his. We are united by something stronger than simple attraction, something that consumes and nourishes us at the same time

— Izana: You're a whore when you do that, but please, come home. I need to see you, I love you and you know it

— You: Scream at me one more time and I'll smash that damn record of yours that you care about so much. I'm coming back, I hope it's for a good reason

Izana has become everything to me. I wake up thinking about him, and go to sleep with his name on my lips. And Izana… Izana wants me all to herself. He can't stand the idea that there is something or someone between us. He's jealous of everything, even my time: he isolates me from friends, family, and I let it happen... deep down, I'm convinced it's a sign of how much he loves me

— Izana: You just need me. Others exist only to distance us, right?

— You: I push others away, I need you to breathe. To feel alive I need you to be by my side

— Izana: Good girl

Yet, there is a part of me that feels suffocated. I'm short of air, but I can't tear myself away. When we are not together, I feel lost, empty, as if a part of me remains with him even if I don't know where he is. And when we are close, the whole world seems to disappear. But I know, deep down, that this isn't love: it's obsession. A mutual dependence that is slowly destroying us, but which I can't do without. It's a sick bond, and yet, I would never want to break it

— Izana: We both know it's obsession and not love, right?

— You: Yes. But it doesn't bother me

— Izana: Until death, then?

— You: And even after, my loverboy

The truth is that I got lost in him, or maybe I allowed myself to get lost. I no longer recognize who I was before Izana came into my life. At first, it was like he filled a void I didn't even know I had. His every gesture, every word, seemed to be exactly what I needed, and so I let myself be carried away. I've realized that I no longer make decisions without first asking myself what he would think. Every thought, every action, is filtered through his gaze. And him? He does the same. He tells me that he can't imagine his life without me, that I am his reason for existing after years of suffering

— Izana: You will be my bride within a year maximum, Mrs. Kurokawa

— You: I like your last name

— Izana: I'll like it more when you have it too, love

I have asked myself several times if it is possible to live without him. But the very idea throws me into an irrational panic. It's like I need his chaos, his possessiveness, to feel real. And so, I continue to remain trapped in this relationship that is slowly consuming me, and I like it. I don't know if it's love, or just fear of being alone, but one thing is sure: Izana has become my obsession. And I his

— Izana: Oh, my Queen. The Queen of Tenjiku, the only woman who will ever and never leave my life

hi can you do izzy with a lawyer!reader who's always unemotional and impassive but is actually caring and motherly when they're alone 😭😭

“LEAN ON ME” a lawyer and a gang leader find solace in love

╰┈➤: ̗̀➛ oneshot

࿐*ೃ feat : izana kurokawa

࿐*ೃ fandom : tokyo revengers

࿐*ೃ extra : fem! reader, lawyer! reader, fluff, slight angst

╰┈➤: ̗̀➛ THE clock on your desk ticks softly, the only sound breaking the stillness of your dimly lit office. It’s late, and the city outside is bathed in a soft glow, but you find solace in the quiet hum of your workspace. Piles of case files are strewn across your desk, each one demanding your attention, but your focus is unwavering. This is your sanctuary—a place where you can immerse yourself in the complexities of law and order, a welcome distraction from the chaos that often fills your mind.

Suddenly, the door creaks open, and you look up, your gaze falling on Izana. He steps inside, his usual confidence somewhat diminished. His hair is slightly disheveled, and his tailored suit looks like it has endured a long day. Despite his composed exterior, you can sense an underlying tension, the remnants of a turbulent meeting still clinging to him like a shadow.

“Long day?” you ask, your voice steady and neutral. You’ve perfected the art of detachment in your line of work, keeping your emotions in check, especially around someone like Izana. He’s not just any client; he’s a powerful figure with a reputation that can intimidate even the most seasoned professionals.

Izana doesn’t respond immediately, instead choosing to lean against the doorframe, his arms crossed. His purple eyes scan the room, landing on the papers scattered across your desk. “You’re still working?” he finally replies.

“It’s part of the job,” you say, your expression unreadable. “You know that.”

He pushes himself off the doorframe and walks further into the room, his footsteps quiet against the hardwood floor. The tension in the air thickens as he approaches your desk, a distance that feels both familiar and foreign between you. You can see the weariness etched on his face, the way his usually sharp features seem softened by fatigue.

“I’m tired of all this,” he mutters, running a hand through his hair in frustration. “I don’t understand why it has to be so complicated.”

You maintain your professional demeanor, but inside, you feel a twinge of concern. Izana is not one to show weakness. The man before you is a strategist, a leader who navigates the dangerous waters of gang politics with finesse. Seeing him vulnerable is unsettling, and you find yourself wanting to reach out, to offer him a piece of comfort he’s not used to accepting.

Working along with Tenjiku as their 'private lawyer', getting them out of trouble with your precise skills as a lawyer-- for years you dedicate yourself to them; to him, especially. Izana is fond of you and it shows most of the time, treasuring your skills and making sure you never quit providing your excellent service to his organization.

He is fond of you so much that he willingly crosses the boundary he has set; to not get close to any women with influence.

“It’s part of the business,” you say, keeping your voice even. “You have enemies, and they won’t back down easily.”

“Enemies,” he scoffs, his voice laced with bitterness. “I don’t want enemies. I—” He stops himself, the words hanging in the air. You can see the internal battle raging within him, the struggle between the persona he projects to the world and the man he is when he’s alone.

You don’t push him, letting the silence stretch between you. It’s a tactic you’ve learned to employ—allowing others to fill the void with their own thoughts and feelings. You watch as Izana’s expression shifts from frustration to something more vulnerable, a fleeting glimpse of the pain that lurks beneath his cold exterior.

He finally takes a seat across from you, leaning forward, his elbows resting on his knees. “Sometimes, I feel like I’m trapped in this life. Like I can’t escape it,” he confesses.

You’re taken aback by his honesty, a rare occurrence for someone like him. “What do you mean?” you ask, genuinely curious despite your usual emotional distance.

Izana meets your gaze, his eyes searching for understanding. “I don't know. I'm just..tired of doing all this shits. But it's too late to turn back now.”

There’s a vulnerability in his admission that disarms you. It’s a side of Izana you’ve never seen before, and it pulls at something deep within you. You want to reach across the desk and tell him it’s okay to feel this way, that he doesn’t have to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders alone. But you hesitate, unsure if crossing that boundary is what he truly wants.

“It’s okay to feel lost sometimes,” you say softly, trying to keep your tone neutral while conveying empathy. “Everyone struggles with their own demons, even those who seem strong.”

Izana chuckles darkly, the sound devoid of true humor. “You don’t understand. I’ve done things… terrible things. I’m not sure I deserve to feel that way.”

His admission hits you hard. You’ve read the reports, saw the news, even witnessing the horror his organization had done to Japan yourself, but seeing this side of him makes you realize he’s more than just a figure of fear in the underworld.

You lean back in your chair, considering your words carefully. “You’re more than your past, Izana. Everyone has the capacity for change. It’s what we do moving forward that matters.”

His eyes soften, a flicker of something you can’t quite identify passing through them. You can see the internal struggle on his face—the desire to be understood battling against the walls he’s built to protect himself.

“I wish it were that simple,” he murmurs, his voice low. “I wish I could just walk away from it all and start over.”

The vulnerability in his words stirs something deep within you. You’ve seen this side of people before, the moments when they drop their armor and reveal their true selves. But with Izana, it feels different.

“Izana,” you say gently, breaking the silence that has settled between you. “You don’t have to do this alone. You have people who care about you.”

His gaze sharpens at your words, and he seems to search your face for sincerity. “People? Who? Everyone is either afraid of me or wants something from me.”

You shake your head, determined to pierce through his skepticism. “That’s not true.. I’m not afraid of you, Izana. I see you, the real you—not the leader, not the ruthless gang member. Just you.”

His expression falters, and for a brief moment, the icy walls around his heart begin to crack. You can see the flicker of hope mingled with disbelief in his eyes. “Why do you care?” he asks.

You take a deep breath. “Because I know what it’s like to feel alone, to feel like no one understands. I’ve seen what isolation can do to someone. It can consume you.”

He watches you intently, the intensity of his gaze making your heart race. You’ve never shared this part of yourself with anyone, but with Izana, the words flow effortlessly. “I’ve built my own walls, too. I appear unemotional, but it’s a defense mechanism. It keeps me safe, but it also keeps me isolated.”

Izana’s expression shifts, a flicker of understanding crossing his face. “So..you hide your feelings just like I do?”

You nod, feeling a warmth spreading in your chest as you connect with him. “We all have our ways of coping. But it’s okay to let someone in, even if it’s just a little.”

You can sense the struggle within him, the desire to break free from the chains he’s forged around himself.

“I don’t know how to let someone in,” he admits, vulnerability creeping into his voice once more. “I’ve been hurt before. I don’t want to feel that pain again.”

You lean forward slightly, breaking the barrier between you. “You won’t know until you try. I promise, I’m not here to hurt you. I just want to help.”

The sincerity in your voice seems to resonate with him, and for the first time, you see a flicker of hope in his eyes. He lets out a long sigh, and you can sense the tension in his shoulders begin to ease.

“I’m tired of being strong all the time,” he finally admits.

As he speaks, you feel an overwhelming urge to reach out, to comfort him in a way that transcends the boundaries of your professional relationship. But instead, you stay where you are, allowing him to take the lead.

“Then let’s not be strong together,” you suggest, your voice soft. “We can lean on each other, even if it’s just for a little while.”

He looks up at you, the intensity of his gaze making your heart race. There’s a flicker of uncertainty, a hesitation as he grapples with the idea of letting his walls down. “What if I let you in and it backfires? What if I end up hurting you?”

The thought sends a chill down your spine, but you hold your ground. “You won’t. I trust you, Izana. And I want you to trust me too. You don’t have to carry this burden alone.”

He lets out a shaky breath, his fingers tapping against his knee in a restless rhythm.

“I can’t change who I am,” he finally murmurs. “I’ve done things… things that can’t be forgiven.”

You shake your head, feeling a swell of compassion for him. “No one is perfect, Izana. We all make mistakes. What matters is how we choose to move forward from them.”

His gaze drops, and for a moment, the vulnerability is palpable. “Sometimes I wish I could start over, leave everything behind,” he confesses, the words tumbling out like a hidden truth.

A flicker of hope ignites within you. “Then let’s make a new start together,” you propose, your heart racing at the possibility. “It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. You can take small steps. I’ll be right here, every step of the way.”

Izana looks up. “You would do that for me?”

“Of course,” you reply, your voice steady. “You’re worth it.”

He studies you for a long moment, as if trying to gauge your sincerity. The silence stretches between you. And then, slowly, he nods, a barely perceptible gesture that feels monumental in its significance.

“Okay,” he says, his voice softer now. “I’ll try. But I can’t promise it will be easy.”

You smile, warmth flooding your chest at his willingness to open up, even just a little. “I wouldn’t expect anything less. Just know that I’m here for you, no matter what.”

Izana leans back in his chair, the tension in his posture easing as he relaxes into the moment.

You take a sip of your coffee, the warmth of the cup grounding you as you watch him carefully. “So, tell me more about what you want,” you prompt, wanting to draw him out. “What does starting over look like for you?”

He pauses, contemplating your question. “I don’t know,” he admits, his brow furrowing in thought. “Maybe a life where I’m not constantly looking over my shoulder. A place where I can actually feel… safe.”

The word strikes a chord within you. Safe. It’s something you’ve both been yearning for, albeit in different ways. “You deserve that,” you say softly. “Everyone deserves a place where they can feel at home.”

Izana’s gaze meets yours. “I’ve never felt at home anywhere,” he murmurs. “It’s always been about survival.”

You nod. “Survival can be exhausting. But you don’t have to keep fighting alone. I want to help you find that home, even if it’s just a small corner of the world where you can be yourself.”

He leans forward, an intensity in his expression that sends a thrill through you. “And what if that home is with you?”

The question hangs in the air, a delicate promise. You can feel your heart pound, heat flooding your cheeks as you process his words. “I—”

Before you can finish, Izana interrupts, his voice low and serious. “I’m not asking for anything more than a chance. I just want to know that it’s okay to be myself with you..”

Your heart swells. “You can be yourself with me,” you assure him, your voice steady. “No masks, no walls. Just you.”

“I’ve spent so long hiding,” he admits. “But being here with you feels different. I feel… lighter.”

A warm smile spreads across your face. “That’s what I want for you, Izana.”

You watch as he processes your words, a myriad of emotions playing across his face.

“I want that too,” he finally says, his voice steadying. “But it’s terrifying.”

“It is,” you agree, feeling a sense of kinship in his admission. “But it’s also a beautiful journey. And I want to walk that path with you.”

As the conversation flows, you share more about yourself, allowing him glimpses into the life beyond the office. You talk about your own struggles, the times you felt isolated, and the moments that defined you. Each word draws him closer, breaking down the barriers that have kept him guarded for so long.

“Sometimes, I wonder if I’m capable of change. What if I can’t be who I want to be?”

“Change is a journey, not a destination,” you reply gently. “It takes time, and it’s okay to stumble along the way. What matters is that you keep moving forward.”

He nods slowly, absorbing your words. “You make it sound so simple.”

“It’s not simple,” you clarify, “but it’s worth it. I believe in you, Izana. You have the strength within you to overcome anything.”

Suddenly, he reaches out, his hand hovering above yours, uncertainty etched on his face. “Can I…?” he trails off, searching your eyes for permission.

You nod, your heart racing as he gently places his hand over yours. The contact sends a wave of warmth coursing through you, and you can’t help but smile. It’s a simple gesture, but it signifies so much more—a willingness to connect, to be vulnerable.

“Thank you for being here,” he says, his voice low and earnest. “I don’t know what I would do without you.”

You squeeze his hand, feeling a rush of affection for the man before you. “You don’t have to worry about that. I’m not going anywhere.”

Izana’s gaze locks onto yours. Time seems to slow, and the world outside fades away, leaving only the two of you in this small sanctuary. His purple eyes glint with an intensity that sends a thrill down your spine.

You feel your breath catch in your throat as he leans closer, the space between you shrinking until you can feel the warmth radiating from his body. Your heart pounds in your chest, each beat echoing the mounting anticipation that fills the air.

Izana’s hand lingers over yours, his fingers lightly brushing against your skin, igniting a rush of warmth that spreads through your entire body. You can see the conflict in his eyes—the hesitation, the fear, but also an undeniable desire. It’s as if he’s searching for confirmation, a silent question hanging between you.

You want to say something, to break the spell that has ensnared you both, but the words escape you. Instead, you find yourself drawn to him, an invisible force compelling you to lean closer. Your pulse quickens as you shut your eyes, surrendering to the moment and allowing instinct to take over.

Izana’s breath brushes against your cheek. “Is this okay?” he asks, his voice low and tentative, as if he’s afraid of shattering the fragile intimacy that has enveloped you both.

You nod slowly. “Yes,” you manage to whisper, the word barely escaping your lips as you inch closer.

In that instant, everything else fades away. All that exists is the two of you, standing on the precipice of something profound. With a gentle determination, Izana closes the distance between you, his lips brushing against yours in a passionate kiss.

You melt into him, responding instinctively, your hand moving to cup the back of his neck as he deepens the kiss. It’s both soft and urgent, a beautiful collision of emotions that leaves you breathless.

The office transforms into a world of its own, illuminated by the soft moonlight streaming through the window. The glow wraps around you like a cocoon, casting shadows that dance along the walls. You can feel the coolness of the night air mingling with the heat between you, creating a perfect balance.

Izana’s hand finds its way to your waist, pulling you closer, his fingers digging slightly into your sides as he anchors you to him.

You part your lips, allowing him access as the kiss deepens, his tongue exploring with a tenderness that sends waves of warmth coursing through you. Every breath, every touch is a promise, an unspoken agreement that you’re both willing to explore this newfound connection.
