Butcher!Simon who can't help but get excited, as excited as he can get, when he sees you walking down the sidewalk towards the shop.

You're such an adorable thing, really. Always nervously wringing your fingers when you leave your dog outside. Always polite and soft spoken. He's never seen anyone as pure as you before (even tho he can't know how pure you are but compared to him you are basically a saint).

Your dog is the opposite of you, big and scary with a mean face but utterly whipped for you. It's obvious that you got it for protection and it's intimidatingly well trained. Simon admires the way you handle the animal. He wouldn't mind letting you handle him the same way.

Him and the dog might not be so different, he thinks. Both hardened old men, used to a harsher lifes, that soften for you and would follow your lead every day. Hell, he'd be as well behaved as your dog too if you put a collar and a leash on him and kissed his head the way you kiss your dogs when you leave him outside.

It's a familiar dance at this point, you tie your dog to the pole outside, look into the shop, notice Simon already looking at you and promtly look away at your dog once more.

You draw a few deep breaths, kiss your dogs head (damnit he never thought he'd be jealous of a dog) and Simon can't help but smile behind his mask, utterly enamored.

If only you weren't so intimidated by him. He really wishes he could have a conversation with you but he never gets more out of you than one word answers and a finger pointing at the meat you want.

And fuck, Simon is no conversationalist but he's really trying for you, but you're so damn timid around him. If he doesn't get to hear your pretty voice more he might just lose his damn mind.

So when you open the door, the chime a soft sound in the backround, entirely unfitting for this type of shop, his gruff voice stops you.

"You can bring him in with ya."

"I'm sorry, what?", you ask, confused.

"The dog.", Simon clarifies and you stand there in the open door looking at him like he just told you that he'll be butchering and selling your dog next.

Did he already fuck this up? You seem even more intimidated than usual. The diversion from your routine making your interaction even more tense. He tries to soften his voice when he goes again.

"You can bring your dog inside with ya, if it makes you more comfortable, sweetheart."

Your eyes are big when you meet his. Whether it's because of what he offered or the petname that slipped out, he isn't sure.

"But the sign says only service dogs?", you question genuinely confused.

Simon nearly snorts at your expression, like a deer caught in the headlights and damn him, if he doesn't wanna catch you.

"It's fine, just don't tell the boss. He won't know that it's no service dog as long as you don't rat me out. The boss can't tell a dog from a cat if I'm bein' honest.", he whispers conspiracionally. And then he swears he nearly has a heart attack.

You giggle. You giggle and blush brightly red at the same time, hiding your mouth with your hand and it takes everything in Simon to stop himself from jumping over the counter and pulling that hand away because the glimpse of your smile?! Yeah, he's fucked.

"Maybe next time I'll bring him in with me.", you finally answer. And Simon could die a happy man, finally having had a conversation with you (maybe just a short one but a conversation nontheless) that involves something other than the meat.

He's utterly fucked when you walk up to the counter, still blushing prettily (he didn't know he could make you do that so easily) and softly say your order.

He's utterly fucked when you pay, look at his name tag and say: "Thank you, Simon."

His name in your voice is a sound he will never forget again. He's sure he sounds like a fool when he says: "Have a nice day."

He's even more fucked when you turn around and he watches your cute ass walk out of the shop, giving your dog a treat for being so well behaved.

He nearly faints when you turn around, before walking away, gift him with a smile and wave goodbye. He returns the gesture mindlessly, glad that his mask is hiding the stupid expression he surely is wearing at that moment.

Oh yeah, he needs to catch you. And for that he'll have to prepare dog treats for next time.

If you want a song for writing

How about Broken Love by Built by Titan & Starxs?

ooooooh I love the vibes of this song, it's really quite upbeat for how the title would suggest too

it kinda gave me the vibes of someone dancing in the moonlight? and overall it felt like it fit wars the most to me, so I decided to run with it in this!!

“Wars? Where are we going? I thought we were settling down for the night.”

“Come on dearest, I know you aren’t that tired to settle down this early.”

What is he planning right now, smiling like a dork and dragging me out into the middle of nowhere as the sun sets? With how he’s been acting the whole day, anyone would've thought he’d be the most eager to go to sleep. Then again maybe being in his own Hyrule has given him some extra energy. 

“We’re almost there I promise.” 

A clearing by the river, what on earth - in hyrule is he planning. He’s clearly got something in mind if all the grumbling he was doing earlier wasn’t about getting to bed like we all thought it was. Maybe it’s something to do with why time and legend were teasing him so much today, or well time seeing how much legend teases him anyway. 

“Finally, you’ve no idea how long I’ve been waiting to do something like this”

“Like wha-at!?”

“To have a place to dance. Hopefully soon I won’t have to chase the stars for this though.”

I’m sure that any moment they’ll be trying to pull us away from this, when the chain can find us that is. But for now I’ll just hold on to him as he leads. Just being able to take in his boyish grin as he lets loose for the first time in who knows how long? As he’s taking the time to feel himself in the rhythm he’s leading us both too, I don’t think I could have fallen more than now.

Coma buck where Maddie says something to him about how he’s got a bf who’s also a firefighter and he’s trynna sus out who based on interactions and assumes it’s Eddie

Yes, that is such a crazy scenario because the first thing I think of is Buck back in his coma dream, unsure of where he is and why he has a sick feeling of Deja Vu. I imagine that he hears everyone sitting vigil for him, and he is confused. He doesn't know how he got there, but he knows his family is waiting for him to come home. He's running the hall of the hospital, and he can hear their voices, and he's trying to get to them.

I have no idea what you expected when you sent this, but this is what came to me.

Buck could feel it in his soul he needed to get home. He needed to get to his family. He could hear them talking to him, begging him to just wake up.

"That firefighter boyfriend of yours needs to get used to you in the hospital. But," Maddie sighes, and Buck hates making her sad. "I'm not used to it either, baby brother. I need you to wake up."

Buck was fighting to come home to her and the boyfriend that he apparently had. Something had definitely changed since the last time he was in a coma, but Buck had no real sense of time or change. He was running through fog. It was Chim's voice that cut through next.

"That boyfriend of yours is sitting like a rock. I don't know if he is waiting for us to be gone before he shows any emotion or what, but Buck I need you to wake up, even just to save me from having to decide-" Chim huffed. "No, that's not on you. I need you to come back because your my brother and I can't lose another one."

Buck knew he had a brother, a dead one, Daniel. He didn't know that Chim thought of him as a brother, and he really didn't want to do that to him, not again. He also thought about his "boyfriend" sitting like a rock. Was he being a pillar of support? Buck couldn't help but think of Eddie, a strong man in a storm- strong and true. If he was the boyfriend that Buck had landed, he had to get home. He had to get to Eddie and Chris. Then Maddie's voice boomed in again.

"Chris is coming home, brother. Don't you want to be awake for your favorite Diaz? Don't leave him waiting."

Buck had to get home; he had to get to his family. He had to get to Chris and Eddie. Eddie, his pillar of support, warm smiles, and strong hands. Chris, his favorite boy, his favorite Diaz, was coming home to see him. He didn't want Chris to see him for the first time in months in a hospital bed. He didn't want to remind them of her, of Shannon. He wasn't going to die on his Diazes.

Then he heard his voice. He heard Eddie's voice. "You have to wake up, Buck. We are waiting on you."

Buck refused to let Eddie down. He fought, tearing the walls down around him. He had to go home.

Buck's eyes fluttered open. "Evan, are you awake?"

Buck couldn't help but wonder who the hell that was. "Eddie?" He asked, and the voice sighed. His vision finally cleared and settled on the voice. Tommy- it was Tommy, not Eddie. Something dark and twisted settled in his gut, but blame it on the coma brain. "Where's Eddie?"

"Right here." Eddie called from the door. Something warm blossomed in his chest as he saw Eddie. He could hear Chris's crutches flying down the hall. His two favorite boys were there when he woke up. He was home.

Tommy looked at him resigned, as if he could read the writing on the wall. Buck felt bad; he really did. In the seconds before Chris pushed his dad out of the way, he wondered if he should give Tommy Ana's number. They seem to have a lot in common.

Stay - Mayday Parade

Deathbeds - Bring Me The Horizon

Just Pretend - Bad Omens

I saw someone else post a lyric breakdown and thought it was a cool idea, so... here are the lyrics that gave me another au idea made me think of the trope!

1. The Worst In Me - Bad Omens

I had you in my grip, but you're starting to slip Bring out the worst in me And now it's come to end, I think I'm giving in You set my demons free

It's better when you're with me, but that's better left unsaid It's better when I'm empty, but I still let you in

2. The Summoning - Sleep Token

Oh, and my love Did I mistake you for a sign from God? Or are you really here to cut me off? Or maybe just to turn me on

‘Cause these days I would be lying if I told you that I didn't wish that I could be your man Or maybe make a good girl bad

3. Demons - Mayday Parade

Now I can live with all my demons, we all get along And they whisper in my ear “We’re safe, there’s always something wrong.” And if it looks like Armageddon’s coming down today I’ll kick back a bottle of that poison It’s made for you and me Come on, let’s go One fell out of my dreams It came down in your heart Paved the way for me to follow

4. Lead Me Out of the Dark - Crown The Empire

Without a doubt, I need your help I know you've heard me ask before But come on girl, I need to tell you now I know what I've done wrong The only way out of here is the way I've avoided for all my life There's so many things I wanna say But there's too many things still in the way I'm lost, please help me find my place You're the only one, please lead me out of the dark

5. So Much Love To Give - Glorious Sons

I've got a heart in me, I swear It's hidden in the back of a bar somewhere Everything you've heard is true But I can make it up to you I've got so much love to give I've got so much more than this

Forgive me for everything I did

6. Here’s My Heart - SayWeCanFly

So here's my heart for you if you want it It's got a couple bruises on it Sometimes it breaks down and it doesn't work quite right, but You bring it back to life You bring it back to life And I'd believe in God if somebody could prove That there existed something more perfect than you But if this were the last time I ever felt love I'd be alright Cause nothing ever felt so true

7. Good To You - Marianas Trench

And I know this isn't enough, I still don't measure up And I'm not prepared; Sorry is never there when you need it

And I do want you to know I'll hold you up above everyone And I do want you to know I think you'd be good to me And I'd be so good to you

8. Hold Onto Me - Mayday Parade

Stayed up too late and it hurts to breathe Said it's 4 A.M. girl, go back to sleep Sometimes at night, I can hear her dreams

Come rescue me, come rescue me Don't you ever leave, don't you ever leave I know we got our problems and it's probably me So hold onto me, hold onto me

9. Stomach Tied In Knots - Sleeping With Sirens

Oh, my stomach's tied in knots I'm afraid of what I'll find if you want to talk tonight Oh oh See the problem isn't you, it's me I know I can tell, I've seen it time after time

And I'll push you away I get so afraid, oh no

And I can't live without you now, oh oh I can't even live with myself, oh oh oh I can't live without you now, oh oh And I don't want nobody else, oh oh oh

I only have myself to blame But do you think we can start again 'Cause I can't live without you

10. Stay - Mayday Parade

Oh can you tell, I haven't slept very well Since the last time that we spoke, you said "Please understand if I see you again don't even say hello."

//

I'm not strong enough for the both of us What was I supposed to do You know I love you Whoa-oh

Please just stay Stay

11. Deathbeds - Bring Me The Horizon

Eyes like a car crash I know I shouldn't look, but I can't turn away Body like a whiplash Salt my wounds, but I can't heal the way I feel about you I watch you like a hawk I watch you like I'm gonna tear you limb from limb Will the hunger ever stop? Can we simply starve this sin?

That little kiss you stole, it held my heart and soul And like a deer in the headlights, I meet my fate Don't try to fight the storm, you'll tumble overboard Tides will bring me back to you

And on my deathbed, all I'll see is you The life may leave my lungs, but my heart will stay with you

12. Just Pretend - Bad Omens

I'm not afraid of the war you've come to wage against my sins I'm not okay, but I can try my best to just pretend

So will you wait me out Or will you drown me out? So will you wait me out Or will you drown me out? (at the bottom)

I can wait for you at the bottom I can stay away if you want me to I can wait for years if I gotta Heaven knows I ain't getting over you

[minteayoongimakesmewoozi]

Rereading fits and i've got to ask,was Kokushibo in love with Fujiko?Did it increase his resentment towards Yoriichi when he found out they had feelings for each other?

i... don't know if what kokushibou felt for fujiko could be considered love.

infatuation, yeah. he respected her a lot too. he definitely had feelings for her of the romantic kind, but i wouldn't call it love.

why, you ask?

well, because it was entirely selfish.

he still had a wife and children. he never formally got divorced, he just... left. he fell in with the demon hunters, then was traipsing around japan with yoriichi, fujiko and keichirou.

in a way, i've always pictured his 'love' for fujiko as something like an obsession. maybe even similar to the obsession he had with yoriichi. something that he wanted - maybe even wanted to surpass - but it was always out of reach for him.

that being said...

i think it definitely increased kokushibou's resentment towards yoriichi when it finally clicked that fujiko was in love with yoriichi. i don't think he ever figured out that the feelings were reciprocated, because not even yoriichi knew that he returned fujiko's feelings until after her death, but if kokushibou had found out... he might not have been so merciful towards yoriichi at their final meeting.

”Right. And what’s his name?”

“Simon.”

you stare at your husband for a second, dumbfounded. “and… what’s his last name?”

“Riley.”

“…You named your dog Simon Riley.”

He grinned from ear to ear. “Bloody handsome name, innit?” You sighed, dragging your hand down your face. “You are so stuck up sometimes.”

“You always said you wanted a guard dog.” Right, and now you’ve got two of them. “Is he chipped-?” “Got him all ‘is necessary shots and the like, birdie. Don’t worry your pretty little head.” He presses a kiss to your forehead, and you can’t help but smile at him. As strange as your husband may be…

You think he’s perfect.
